Vocabulary
 Notes
Note 1: the verbs buy, lend, pay, spend and sell are all irregular. Do you
know the past tense of each verb? Check in a dictionary.

Note 2: Students often have problems with the verbs lend and borrow,
because they are the same verb in Spanish (prestar). It’s useful to
remember: lend is like give (but temporarily), borrow is like take (but
temporarily). Or: lend = dar prestado, borrow = tomar prestado. You can also
memorize these sentences:

Could you lend me a dictionary?

Could I borrow your dictionary?

FUTURE FORMS

Here is a summary of the different forms we have seen in this unit for
talking about the future in English.
Here is an example of how we might use the three forms:

What to wear
 VOCABULARY

When we talk about clothes, we say “I’m wearing …” not “I use …”.

For example:

I’m wearing a t-shirt and jeans.

Modal verbs

The verb can is a modal verb.

Modal verbs are special verbs because:

Modal verbs obligation, prohibition and advice
 THE SOLAR SYSTEM
Can you remember how to form superlative adjectives? Look at the
example below.
 Looking for life

What do you think these words mean? Use a dictionary to check.

space – temperature – gravity – air – size – molecule

 star – telescope – surface – astronomer – scientist

Now read the following article.

We know that there are eight planets in

our solar system, but how many planets are there in our galaxy? Are there other
planets that support life? These are questions that have troubled astronomers for
centuries, but we are now closer than ever to finding out.

The simplest requirement for a planet to have life (carbon-based life like on Earth)
is for there to be liquid water (not frozen or gas) so the distance from the planet’s
sun and therefore temperature are important. There also needs to be the correct
amount of air. If a planet is small like Mars, its weak gravity means that it
can’t hold on to air molecules. If a planet is big like Neptune, it has
very strong gravity and too much air. So size is important.

In 2009, NASA launched the Kepler space telescope. It is designed to find habitable
planets in our galaxy and find out how many stars have such planets. Its original
mission was completed in 2012, but it is still in space looking for planets. So far it
has discovered 5,000 planets beyond our solar system.

Recently, astronomers also found seven Earth-like planets around a star

called Trappist-1 in the constellation of Aquarius. The star is just 39 light
years from Earth. Experts believe that the planets may be the right
temperature to have some liquid water and life on the surface.
So will we ever find life in the universe? Will we one day be able to live on
other planets? It looks increasingly probable.

VERBS WITH GERUNDS AND INFINITIVES WITH TO

 VERBS WITH GERUNDS AND INFINITIVES WITH TO

Choose the correct form of the verb a), b) or c) to complete the following
sentences.

Example:

You can use verb+ing or to + infinitive after start.

BRITISH VS. AMERICAN WORDS

Some words are different in British and American English. Look at the table
below.
 RITISH VS. AMERICAN SPELLING

We often spell British and American words differently. Look at the table
below.
 THAT’S SO BRITISH!

Find these words and phrases in a dictionary.

similar – need – don't mind – forget

on the left – on the right – steering wheel – vinegar

Now read the article.

When you’re learning English, you might think that all native English speakers are similar.
But this is not always true! Take the British, for example. They have some very strange
traditions that just don’t exist in the US, or other parts of the world. Here are some big
differences between the UK and the US that you need to know about:

It’s tea time!

The British love drinking tea. They don’t mind having

coffee for breakfast, but most prefer to have tea - very hot, and with milk! Tea is so
important in the UK that dinner time is sometimes called “tea time”. “What are we having
 for tea?” means “what are we going to eat for dinner?” This is definitely not true in the US.
The Americans love their coffee, which is why they invented Starbucks.

Watch out for the cars!

Don’t forget to look right before you cross the road in the
UK. The British drive on the left! All cars have the steering wheel on the right. They drive
manual cars not automatic cars. They also dislike driving very big cars (many Americans
prefer driving big cars!). You might not see any Ford Explorers if you travel to the UK, but
you will see lots of Peugeot 208s!

Vinegar on your chips?

The British don’t eat out much. If they do eat out, they
often plan to do it in advance. It’s usually expensive and portions are normal in size. In the
US, portions are so big that you can take food home in a “doggy bag”. Another British
tradition is fish and chips. This is a typical takeaway dinner. Chips are like French fries, but
bigger. The British have “tomato sauce” or “tomato ketchup” with their chips (the
Americans just call it “ketchup”), and they also put vinegar on them!

VERB PATTERNS
We’ve learned in this unit that some verbs in English can be followed by a
second verb. Look at the examples below:
Remember! The verbs love, like , hate and prefer can be used with
the verb+ing or to + infinitive form.

What is the correct form of the verb in these sentences? Choose a), b), c) or
d).

1) The British dislike ___________ the British flag too much. They aren’t very
patriotic.

a) use
b) using correcto
c) to use
d) using or to use
2) Americans like American football, baseball and basketball. The British
prefer _________ football (soccer), tennis and rugby.

a) watch correcto
b) watching
c) to watch
d) watching or to watch
3) Americans love ____________ the Superbowl. There is no equivalent in the
UK.

a) watch
b) watching
 c) to watch
d) watching or to watch correcto
4) British people feel that they need __________ sorry all the time. They
apologize a lot!

a) say
b) saying
c) to say correcto
d) saying or to say
5) Americans might _________ more sincere than the British. British people
don’t always say what they are thinking.

a) be correcto
b) being
c) to be
d) being or to be
6) If you plan _________ to the UK, you will __________a British visa. This is not
the same as the visa for Europe.

a) going/need
b) to go/need correcto
c) going/to need
d) to go/to need
THE PRESENT PERFECT SIMPLE

Look at the sentences below.

The sentences are in the Present Perfect Simple.

Examples:

The students says he has finished his homework. He doesn’t say when he did it. This is
relevant now because the teacher is talking about the homework.

Jenny says John has had a car accident. She doesn’t say when. This is
relevant now because John is currently in hospital.

THE PRESENT PERFECT SIMPLE

Look at the sentences and questions. What is the auxiliary verb in the Present Perfect
Simple?
Affirmative Sentences
The Present Perfect Simple is formed using the auxiliary verb have and the past
participle form of the verb.

We form affirmative sentences in the Present Perfect Simple like this:

Example:

Note: With pronouns (I, you, he, she etc.) we usually use the contractions (‘ve and ‘s) of the
auxiliary verb.

Negative Sentences
We form negative sentences in the Present Perfect Simple like this:

Example:
Questions
We form questions in the Present Perfect Simple like this:

Example:

Short Answers
We can give short answers to these questions:

Example:

Note: We don’t use contractions in positive short answers.

PAST PARTICIPLES
Regular past participles are formed by adding –ed to the verb

Housework Collocations
Collocations are combinations of words that are often used together. For
example, have is a verb, party is a noun, and have a party is a verb-noun collocation.
(We don’t say make a party or do a party).
 IRREGULAR PAST PARTICIPLES

Look at the sentences. Notice the past participles.

The sentences are in the Present Perfect Simple.

IRREGULAR PAST PARTICIPLES

The past participle of be (ser o estar) is been. For example:

The past participle of go (ir) is been or gone. We can use been or gone, depending on
the exact meaning.

Note: I’ve been to Paris = He ido a Paris.

I’ve been to Paris ≠ He estado en Paris.

In English, be to is impossible. You can be in a place or go to a place.

SANDRA: So, Joel, I’ve heard that you

travelled to many different countries as a journslist. Is that right? The word many
indicates a Present Perfect.

JOEL: Yes, that’s right. I

've

visited all five continents, in fact. The person is indicating quantity which indicates
the use of the Present Perfect

SANDRA: What about China?

 Have

you been there?The verb to be is used in the past participle which indicates a
Present Perfect form

JOEL: Yes, actually. I

've

been there twice, and I’m planning another trip next year. The first time I

travelled there was in 1977. More recently, not long ago in fact, I
