GRAMMAR: PRONOUNS

you you your yours
they them their theirs
he him his his
she her her hers
it it its its
12
ENGLISH IN PHARMACY
Pronouns make up a
small subcategory of nouns. The
distinguishing characteristic of
pronouns is that they can be
substituted for other nouns. For
instance, if you‟re telling a story
about your sister Sarah, the story
will begin to sound repetitive if
you keep repeating “Nancy” over
and over again.
Nancy has always loved fashion. Sarah announced that
Sarah wants to go to fashion school.
You could try to mix it up by sometimes referring to Sarah
as “my sister,” but then it sounds like you‟re referring to two
different people.
Sarah has always loved fashion. My sister announced that
Sarah wants to go to fashion school.
Instead, you can use the pronouns she and her to refer to
Sarah.
Sarah has always loved fashion. She announced that she
wants to go to fashion school.
Personal Pronouns (Subject and Object)

I, we, you, they, he, she, it are known as personal pronouns. Object
pronouns are
my, us, you, them, him, her and it.
We use object pronouns:

1) as the object of the verb:
Examples:
Can you help me please? I can see you.
13
ENGLISH IN PHARMACY
She doesn’t like him.

I saw her in town today.
We saw them in town yesterday, but they didn’t see us.
2) after prepositions:
Examples:
She is waiting for me.
I’ll get it for you.
Give it to him.
Why are you looking at her? Don’t take it from us.
I’ll speak to them.
Relative Pronouns
Relative pronouns make up another class of

pronouns. They are used to connect relative clauses to
independent clauses. Often, they introduce additional
information about something mentioned in the sentence.
Relative pronouns include that, what, which, who, and whom.
Traditionally, who refers to people, and which and that refer to
animals or things.
Examples:
The woman who called earlier didn’t leave a message. All the dogs
that got adopted today will be loved.
My car, which is nearly twenty years old, still runs well.
Demonstrative Pronouns
That, this, these and those are demonstrative pronouns.

They take the place of a noun or noun phrase that has already
been mentioned.
This is used for singular items that are nearby. These is
14
ENGLISH IN PHARMACY
used for multiple items that are nearby. The distance can be
physical or metaphorical.
Examples:
Here is a letter with no return address. Who could have sent this?
What a fantastic idea! This is the best thing I’ve heard all day.
If you think gardenias smell nice, try smelling these.
That is used for singular items that are far away. Those is
used for multiple items that are far away. Again, the distance
can be physical or metaphorical.
Examples:
A house like that would be a nice place to live.
Some new flavors of soda came in last week. Why don’t you try some
of those? Those aren’t swans, they’re geese.
Indefinite Pronouns
Indefinite pronouns are used when you need to refer to a

person or thing that doesn‟t need to be specifically identified.
Some common indefinite pronouns are one, other, none, some,
anybody, everybody, and no one.
Examples:
Everybody was late to work because of the traffic jam. It matters more
to some than others.
Nobody knows the trouble I’ve seen.
When indefinite pronouns function as subjects of a

sentence or clause, they usually take singular verbs.
15
ENGLISH IN PHARMACY
Reflexive and Intensive Pronouns
Reflexive pronouns end in -self or -selves: myself,

yourself, himself, herself, itself, ourselves, yourselves,
themselves.
Use a reflexive pronoun when both the subject and
object of a verb refer to the same person or thing.
Examples:
Henry cursed himself for his poor eyesight. They booked themselves
a room at the resort. I told myself it was nothing.
Possessive Pronouns
Possessive pronouns come in two flavors: limiting and
absolute. My, your, its, his, her, our, their are used to show that
something belongs to an antecedent.
Examples:
Sarah is working on her application.
Just put me back on my bike.
The students practiced their presentation after school.
The absolute possessive pronouns are mine, yours, his,
hers, ours, and theirs. The absolute forms can be substituted for
the thing that belongs to the antecedent.
Examples:
Are you finished with your application? Sarah already finished hers.
The blue bike is mine.
I practiced my speech and the students practiced theirs.
16
ENGLISH IN PHARMACY
Interrogative Pronouns

I have chosen pharmacy as my future

speciality. Pharmacy is the science
which studies medicinal substances
used for treating and preventing
different diseases. Pharmacy studies
recognizing, identifying, collecting,
selecting, preparing, storing, testing,
compounding and dispensing all
medicinal substances.
A pharmacist or a provisor is a specialist with higher
pharmaceutical education who is permitted by law to prepare
drugs at chemist‟s shops, pharmaceutical plants, to check up
the quality of the drugs, to dispense and supply them. A
23
ENGLISH IN PHARMACY
pharmacist together with a doctor devotes his life to protecting

people‟s health. He is often called „the second doctor‟.
To become a pharmacist one should achieve knowledge of
different subjects. Future specialists must know chemistry - the
science explaining composition and transformation of matter,
different fields of chemistry. Thus, General Chemistry deals with
basic principles and inorganic substances, Organic Chemistry is
the chemistry of carbon compounds, Analytical Chemistry
studies qualitative and quantitative analyses of inorganic
substances, Biochemistry studies biochemical processes taking
place in the human body and in animals, Toxicological Chemistry
deals with toxic substances and their action on the organism.
Botany is the science
of plants, their structure, functions and classification,
Pharmacognozy is the science of drugs of animal, vegetable and
mineral origin. Of course, my future speciality is closely
connected with drugs, that is why future pharmacists must
know Pharmacology which is defined as the science of drugs and
their action and other sciences.
The sphere of action of a pharmacist is broad: at a chemist‟s he
may be a manager, or an assistant manager, a head of a
department, a dispensing pharmacist, an analytical chemist. A
manager is responsible for the work of all departments of a
chemist‟s, it‟s financial, economic and administrative activity. A
dispensing pharmacist takes prescriptions and delivers drugs.
An analytical chemist controls the effectiveness of drugs, their
technology and time of storing. A specialist with higher
pharmaceutical education has the right to be the head of a drug
storehouse or his assistant. A pharmacist may also work at a
chemical analytical laboratory, which controls the quality of
24
ENGLISH IN PHARMACY
prepared drugs at pharmacies as well as ready-made drugs.

Very often leading specialists of pharmaceutical factories are
graduates of pharmaceutical academies.
At present the sphere of action of a pharmacist is becoming
broader: it‟s worth to say about the specialists who work at
numerous biochemical, clinical laboratories at sanatoria,
hospitals, polyclinics. Many specialists have private chemist‟s
shops which supply the population with all kinds of medicines,
vitamins and things of medical care many of which are
imported. Of course, one can see pharmacy graduates teaching
at higher educational establishments, schools of pharmacy,
medical schools, secondary schools, etc.
Wherever a provisor works he must always remember that he
works with people. There is no a provisor without love for his
profession, a profound respect for people. His aim is to help an
ill person to use the prescribed medicines in a better way, to
strengthen a person‟s belief in a sooner recovery.
To sum up, we can say that a pharmacist is a specialist
with higher pharmaceutical education who is permitted by law
to prepare drugs at chemist‟s shops, pharmaceutical plants, to
check the quality of the drugs, to dispense and supply them. To
become a pharmacist, one should achieve knowledge in
different subjects (chemistry, pharmacology, pharmacognosy,
etc.). A pharmacist must always remember that he works with
people.

2. What are the duties of a pharmacist?

The production and sale of drugs is a big business in many

countries. Drugs affect and alter health. So they play a
prominent role in society, as well as drug industry as a whole.
This role includes discovery of new drugs, their development
into useful therapeutic tools and production and distribution of
existing medicines.
Nowadays most drugs are prepared by pharmaceutical
manufacturers and are distributed to the chemist‟s shops or
hospitals in suitable dosage forms.
A chemist‟s shop is a specialized shop where drugs are
compounded, dispensed, stored and sold. An average chemist‟s
shop has a hall for visitors, departments for selling drugs and
proper working rooms. There are usually two departments in a
large chemist‟s shop. At the chemist‟s department one can have
a medicine immediately, other drugs have to be ordered at the
prescription department.
A chemist‟s shop also has an assistant room, a room for
washing, drying and sterilization, an analytical laboratory, a
room for dispensing medicines, a room for storing. There are
some requirements for the storage of drugs. The drugs for
immediate use should be kept in refrigerators. Some drugs
should be stored in cool place and protected from light.
36
ENGLISH IN PHARMACY
At the chemist‟s medicines are distributed according to the

therapeutic effect: drugs for cough, cardiac medicines, drugs for
headache, flu and cold, antihypertensive and antihypotensive
remedies.
Because of his knowledge the pharmacist should provide
information required for the safe and effective use of both
prescription and over - the - counter medications when
supplying them to patients. The pharmacist serves as an
information source of all aspects of drugs to his collegues in the
medical, dental and nursing professions.
The personnel of a chemist‟s shop consist of a manager,
who is the head of it, a dispensing pharmacist, who takes
prescription and delivers drugs, a chemist controlling the
prescription, a chemist – analyst controlling the effectiveness of
the drugs prepared. There is also a pharmacist who is in charge
of the supply of the necessary medications and its replenishing.

GRAMMAR: THE NOUN AND ITS NUMBER
There are two numbers in Noun-Number: Singular

and Plural. When we speak about one person and one thing,
we use the noun in singular form. Single means one. Plural
number is used when the noun refers to more than one item.
Countable nouns have both singular and plural forms.
Uncountable nouns and mass nouns do not normally have a
plural form.
The regular plural ending of an English noun is -s.
student students
These are the exceptions to the normal pattern:
singular noun plural noun

46
ENGLISH IN PHARMACY
Irregular plurals
Some nouns have two plural forms.
fish fish or fishes
Some of them have the same form in the singular and plural.
a sheep ten sheep

a deer seven deer
A few change a vowel to form the plural.
man men
woman women
foot feet
tooth teeth
goose geese
mouse mice
louse lice
Some nouns form the plural with -en.
child children
ox oxen
Since it is not possible to give more than a selection of the
irregular forms, you should check in a dictionary if you are in
doubt. If the dictionary does not show the plural form, then you
can assume that it is regular.
Compound nouns normally form the plural by adding
-s to the last word of the compound.
47
ENGLISH IN PHARMACY
a bookcase two bookcases

an Indian take- two Indian take-
away aways
There are a few exceptions: A compound noun formed
from a noun and an adverb makes the first word plural.
a passer-by several passers-by
Compound nouns with woman as the first word make both

words plural.
a woman several women doctors

doctor
a woman most women drivers
driver
Pluralia Tantum and Singularia Tantum
Some nouns only have a plural form. They cannot be used

with numbers. They include the names of certain tools,
instruments and articles of clothing which have two parts.
They are called „plurale tantum,‟ (pluralia tantum), Latin
for „plural only‟ and used for „a noun which is used only in
plural form, or which is used only in plural form in a particular
sense or senses.‟ These nouns are always treated grammatically
as plurals.
Tools and instruments: Binoculars, headphones, sunglasses, glasses,
scissors, tweezers, pliers, forceps, shears, tweezers, and tongs.
Clothing: jeans, pyjamas, tights, knickers, shorts, trousers, pants,

and clothes.
48
ENGLISH IN PHARMACY
A pair of: We can use „pair of‟ to refer to one example of these
nouns:
I bought a new pair of binoculars last week.
That old pair of trousers will be useful for doing jobs in the garden.
Other nouns which are always in plural form are the following
ones:
Belongings, outskirts, clothes, premises (buildings), congratulations,
savings (money), earnings, stairs, goods, surroundings, likes/dislikes,
thanks, cattle .
Some nouns are used only in the singular, even though
they end in -s. These include:
-the names of academic subjects: classics, economics,
mathematics/maths, physics;
-the physical activities: gymnastics and aerobics;

-the diseases: measles and mumps;
-the word news.
Such nouns are called singulare tantum (or singularia

tantum). It refers to nouns (in any specific sense) that has no
plural form and is only used with singular verbs. It is frequently
for mass nouns i.e. noun that normally cannot be counted like
advice, bread, knowledge, luck, work, money etc.
Plurals of English nouns taken from Latin or Greek
English has borrowed many common words from Latin

and Greek. In their original language the plurals of such words
followed that language‟s rules:
49

datum – data bacterium – bacteria medium – media analysis –

The language of prescription was unique in Great Britain

some half a century ago when all the names of drugs were
Latinized. It was possible because the physician used only
dosed drugs. Today all prescriptions are written in English. The
only Latin which is used is few traditional abbrevations in the
direction to the pharmacist and on the label.
A more serious problem is the naming of drugs. In the old
days, drugs had only one official name and drug companies did
not have many trade names. At present, each drug has at least
three names. They are the chemical name, the so- called generic
name, and trade name. The chemical name is difficult to use
and remember except for the simplest drags because of its
length and complexity.
The trade or brand name is the private property of the
drug company. Most drugs have several trade names because
each company producing the drug gives it a different name. It is
58
ENGLISH IN PHARMACY
common practice to capitalize the first letter of a trade name.

The generic or official name is shorter than the chemical
name. It is public property and any drug manufacturer may use
it. There is only one generic name for each drug. The majority
of physicians use trade names in prescriptions. Generic name
should be used as the language of prescription. It is known to
the specialists of medicine and pharmacy and it is not known to
general public. For example, ampicillin is the generic name of a
well-known antibiotic; alpha-aminobenzyl P- its chemical
name; Omnipen, Penbritin, Polycillin, etc. are its trade names.
Dosage. It goes without saying that a prescription cannot
be written without a very good knowledge of the dose effects of
drugs. Each drug has its own dose specification dependent on
pharmacological properties, metabolism of the drug. It should
have the following information:
1. Name and address of the physician and his telephone
number. The title M.D. (MedicalDoctor) should follow the
physician's name to indicate that he or she is a physician.
2. Usually at the top - patient's name, address, age and the date.
3. Symbol Rx. This is about the same as "Dear Sir" on top of
a letter. It comes from Latin and means a command for a patient
"you take".
4. The body of the prescription contains the name of the drug and
the dose.
5. Under the body of the prescription should be written the
directions to the pharmacist. It is called subscription. In modern
prescriptions it consists only of the form of the medicine
(powder, tablet, capsules, etc.) and the number of units.
6. The directions to the patient as to how he should take the
medicine. It is called the label or "signature".

GRAMMAR: ADJECTIVES AND THEIR DEGREES

OF COMPARISON
You might know that adjectives are words that modify a
noun or a pronoun; therefore adjectives are called modifiers in
English. Sometimes modifiers are used to compare two or more
people, things, actions, or qualities. This is called three degrees
of adjectives.
63
ENGLISH IN PHARMACY
1. The Positive Degree

The positive degree of an adjective makes no comparison.
 A tall building.
 She runs fast.

The course of training at any pharmaceutical institute is

impossible without practical classes in chemistry. They are held
in the chemical laboratories. Students of our Andijan State
Medical Institute carry out various experiments with different
chemical substances there.
All members of my group prefer to attend practical classes.
That‟s why we work in the chemical laboratory with great
pleasure. We try to improve our knowledge in practice. Our
chemical laboratory occupies a large and light room. It is well-
ventilated because chemists often work with substances having
strong and unpleasant odour. During our practical classes in
chemistry, we study chemical and physical properties of
84
ENGLISH IN PHARMACY
inorganic substances. Our students carry out different

experiments and carefully record all the findings. Usually, they
point out the title of the experiment and the date, the
substances, describe reagents and the results.
The laboratory has its own equipment. It is equipped with
special laboratory tables besides the demonstration table which
stands between the two rows of tables and in front of them. In
our experiments we use laboratory vessels and glassware of
different kinds.
There are three groups of them in the laboratory: glassware
for general use, glassware for special use and glassware for
measuring. Students carry out experiments using test-tubes,
funnels, flasks, retorts, burettes, graduated cylinders,
measuring glasses and pipettes. They also have microscopes,
analytical balances, distillators, burners to heat solutions and
thermometers at hand. The most widely available reagents at
our laboratory are acids (nitric, sulphuric), alkalis (potassium
solution, sodium solution), oxides, organic salts, indicators
(phenolphthalein, methylene orange). Among the subjects
students study in the laboratory are density, viscosity, vapour
pressure and others.
There are a lot of laboratories in our academy. The
laboratory of inorganic chemistry is for identifying the
properties of elements and inorganic substances. The first-year
students have their practical classes there. The qualitative and
quantitative analysis of organic and inorganic substances can be
obtained in the laboratory of analytical chemistry. The
laboratory assistant carries out experiments in the laboratory of
organic chemistry. Here we can study the properties of organic
substances and ways of their synthesis. There are two more
85
ENGLISH IN PHARMACY
laboratories in our academy: the laboratory of quality control

and the laboratory of juridical chemistry. In the latter one
students can obtain the toxicological analysis.
The work in the chemical laboratory is of great importance.
The findings obtained help people to keep their health and to
increase their knowledge. It‟s well- known that the running
water contains various impurities. We learn how to obtain
distilled water with distillators. Our students also like to work
with special vessels for the determination of molecular weights
and for the determination of melting and boiling points.
To sum up, practical classes in chemistry are usually held
in the chemical laboratories where students carry out various
experiments using different chemical substances. Moreover, the
work in the chemical laboratory is of great importance because
it helps students to increase their knowledge and to get more
practical training.

The history of pharmacy as an independent science is

relatively young. The origins of pharmacy dates back to the first
third of the nineteenth century. The earliest known compilation
of medicinal substances was an Indian treatise. However, the
earliest text as preserved dates to the 3rd or 4th century AD.
India has a great history of medicine and patient care.
Ancient Egyptian pharmacological knowledge was
recorded in various papyri such as the Ebers Papyrus of 1550
BC, and the Edwin Smith Papyrus of the 16th century BC. In
Ancient Greece there was a group of experts in medicinal
plants. Probably the most important representative was Diocles
of Carystus (4th century BC). He is considered to be the source
for all Greek pharmacotherapeutic treatises between the time of
Theophrastus and Dioscorides. The Latin translation De Materia
Medica (Concerning medical substances) was used as a basis
for many medieval texts, and was built upon by many middle
eastern scientists during the Islamic Golden Age.
The advances made in the Middle East in botany and
107
ENGLISH IN PHARMACY
chemistry led medicine in medieval Islam substantially to

develop pharmacology. Muhammad ibn Zakarīya Rāzi (Rhazes)
(865-915), for instance, acted to promote the medical uses of
chemical compounds. Al-Biruni (973-1050) wrote one of the
most valuable Islamic works on pharmacology entitled Kitab al-
Saydalah (The Book of Drugs), where he gave detailed
knowledge of the properties of drugs and wrote about the role
of pharmacy and the functions and duties of the pharmacist.
Ibn Sina (Avicenna), too, described no less than 700
preparations, their properties, mode of action and their
indications. In Europe pharmacy-like shops began to appear
during the 12th century. In 1240 emperor Frederic II issued a
decree by which the physician's and the apothecary's
professions were separated.
The first pharmacy in Europe (still working) was opened
in 1241 in Trier, Germany. In Europe there are old pharmacies
(opened in 1317) still operating in Dubrovnik, Croatia and one
in the Town Hall Square of Tallinn, Estonia dating from at least
1422. The oldest is claimed to be set up in 1221 in the Church of
Santa Maria Novella in Florence, Italy, which now houses a
perfume museum. The medieval Esteve Pharmacy, located in
Llívia, is also now a museum dating back to the 15th century,
keeping old prescription books and antique drugs.
The earliest drugstores date to the Middle Ages. The first
known drugstore was opened by Arabian pharmacists in
Baghdad in 754, and many more soon began operating
throughout the medieval Islamic world and eventually
medieval Europe. By the 19th century, many of the drugstores
in Europe and North America had eventually developed into
larger pharmaceutical companies.
108
ENGLISH IN PHARMACY
Most of today's major pharmaceutical companies were

founded in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Key
discoveries of the 1920s and 1930s, such as insulin and
penicillin, became mass-manufactured and distributed.
Switzerland, Germany and Italy had particularly strong
industries, with the UK, US, Belgium and the Netherlands.

Task 5. Write a translation of the following text.
Pharmacy (from the Greek φάρμακον = remedy) is a

transitional field between the health sciences and the chemical
sciences, as well as the profession charged with ensuring the
safe use of medications. Traditionally, pharmacists have
compounded and dispensed medications based on
prescriptions from physicians. More recently, pharmacy has
come to include other services related to patient care, including
clinical practice, medication review, and drug information.
Some of these new pharmaceutical roles are now mandated by
law in various legislatures. Pharmacists, therefore, are drug
therapy experts, and the primary health professionals who
optimize medication management to produce positive health
outcomes.

ENGLISH IN PHARMACY
Pharmacy, as the third largest health profession, has a

central role in assuring the safe and consistent use of medicines
and as a provider of wider care. Pharmacists are working in
collaboration with many other healthcare organizations to
shape the future of pharmacy. In the coming decades, they are
expected to become more integral within the health care
system. Pharmacists are currently playing a much bigger part in
helping patients get the best from their use of medicines. A
broader role for pharmacists as care-givers will be central to
securing the future of pharmacy.
The role of pharmacy is changing, with a particular focus
on the shift from dispensing and supply towards services that
help people to get the most from their medicines and stay well.
Future models of care delivered through pharmacy depend
fundamentally on what is happening, and likely to happen, in
the wider national health system. The system faces profound
challenges, related to the economic context, and the
requirement is to improve the quality of care for patients, and
in particular for those living with long-term conditions.
Pharmacists are to assume the role of supporting patients with
effective medicines use and by serving as care-givers in the
health system, working in close partnership with other health
and social care professionals as well as with patients. There is a
stronger focus on assuring and improving the quality of care –
all health care providers must get better at finding out what
patients want and need, and delivering this with safety,
consistency and compassion. Pharmacy will have to make its
case for delivering new models of care, based on evidence of
cost and clinical effectiveness.

Task 4. Read and translate the following information.
In most jurisdictions (such as the United States),
pharmacists are regulated separately from physicians. These
jurisdictions also usually specify that only pharmacists may
supply scheduled pharmaceuticals to the public, and that
pharmacists cannot form business partnerships with physicians
or give them "kickback" payments. However, the American
Medical Association (AMA) Code of Ethics provides that
physicians may dispense drugs within their office practices as
long as there is no patient exploitation and patients have the
right to a written prescription that can be filled elsewhere. 7 to
10 percent of American physicians‟ practices reportedly
dispense drugs on their own.
132
ENGLISH IN PHARMACY
The future of pharmacy has been an ongoing

discussion for some years, which is connected
with artificial intelligence. Artificial
intelligence (AI) makes it possible for
machines to learn from experience, adjust to
new inputs and perform
human-like tasks.

GRAMMAR: FUTURE SIMPLE TENSE
The future simple refers to a time later than now, and expresses
facts or certainty. In this case there is no 'attitude'.
The future simple is used:
 To predict a future event:
It will rain tomorrow.
 With I or We, to express a spontaneous decision:
134
ENGLISH IN PHARMACY
I'll pay for the tickets by credit card.
 To express willingness:
I'll do the washing-up.
He'll carry your bag for you.
 In the negative form, to express unwillingness:

The baby won't eat his soup.
I won't leave until I've seen the manager!
 With I in the interrogative form using "shall", to make an

offer:
Shall I open the window?
 With we in the interrogative form using "shall", to make a

suggestion:
Shall we go to the cinema tonight?
 With I in the interrogative form using "shall", to ask for

advice or instructions:
What shall I tell the boss about this money?
 With you, to give orders:

You will do exactly as I say.
 With you in the interrogative form, to give an invitation:

Will you come to the dance with me?
Will you marry me?

Note: In modern English will is preferred to shall. Shall is
mainly used with I and we to make an offer or suggestion, or to
ask for advice (see examples above). With the other persons
(you, he, she, they) shall is only used in literary or poetic
135

situations, e.g. "With rings on her fingers and bells on her toes, She
shall have music wherever she goes."
Forming the future simple
