Phrasal Verbs

Some phrasal verbs are intransitive. An intransitive verb cannot be followed by an object
Some phrasal verbs are transitive. A transitive verb can be followed by an object.
Example:
I made up the story. "story" is the object of "make up"
Some transitive phrasal verbs are separable. The object is placed between the verb and the preposition. In this Phrasal Verb Dictionary, separable phrasal verbs are marked by placing a * between the verb and the preposition / adverb.
Example:
I talked my mother into letting me borrow the car.
She looked the phone number up.
example He suddenly showed up. "show up" cannot take an object
Some transitive phrasal verbs are inseparable. The object is placed after the preposition. In this Phrasal Verb Dictionary, inseparable phrasal verbs are marked by placing a + after the preposition / adverb.
Example:
I ran into an old friend yesterday.
They are looking into the problem.
Some transitive phrasal verbs can take an object in both places. In this Phrasal Verb Dictionary, such phrasal verbs are marked with both and + .
Example:
I looked the number up in the phone book.
I looked up the number in the phone book.
Although many phrasal verbs can take an object in both places, you must put the object between the verb and the preposition if the object is a pronoun.
Example:
I looked the number up in the phone book.
I looked up the number in the phone book.
I looked it up in the phone book. correct
I looked up it in the phone book. incorrect

Adjectives ending in “ED” and ”ING
Examples:
Maria is watching a very interesting movie.
I hate that teacher. He is really boring.
We use adjectives ending in “ED” when we want to describe how people feel.
Examples:
This movie isn’t interesting. I am bored.
Juan is very exited because he is going to travel to Miami for the first time.
Conclusions
We can use adjectives ending in “ing” for things or people. Remember that when we use “ing” it is describing the person or thing.
We can use the “ed” ONLY for people (or animals) because THINGS CANNOT FEEL.
We can say:
Felipe is boring. (describes his personality).
Felipe is bored. (he feels bored at the moment)
We can’t say:
The TV program is bored – INCORRECT (because things can’t feel).
example with so and such
He drove so quickly that we managed to get there on time. El conducía tan rápido que pudimos llegar a tiempo.
EXPRETION WITH SO AND SUCH
So long – tanto tiempo
Such a long time – tanto tiempo
So far – tan lejos
Such a long way – tan lejos
So many – tantos (con contables)
So much – tanto (con incontables)
Such a lot of –tanto (ambos contables y incontables)
* So far tambien significa hasta ahora.
use of passive
Example: My bike was stolen.
In the example above, the focus is on the fact that my bike was stolen. I do not know, however, who did it.
Sometimes a statement in passive is more polite than active voice, as the following example shows:
Example: A mistake was made.
In this case, I focus on the fact that a mistake was made, but I do not blame anyone (e.g. You have made a mistake.).
Form of Passive
Subject + finite form of to be + Past Participle (3rd column of irregular verbs)
Example: A letter was written.
When rewriting active sentences in passive voice, note the following:
■the object of the active sentence becomes the subject of the passive sentence
■the finite form of the verb is changed (to be + past participle)
■the subject of the active sentence becomes the object of the passive sentence (or is dropped)
Examples of Passive Level: lower intermediate
Tense Subject Verb Object
Simple Present Active: Rita writes a letter.
Passive: A letter is written by Rita.
Simple Past Active: Rita wrote a letter.
Passive: A letter was written by Rita.
Present Perfect Active: Rita has written a letter.
Passive: A letter has been written by Rita.
Future I Active: Rita will write a letter.
Passive: A letter will be written by Rita.
Hilfsverben Active: Rita can write a letter.
Passive: A letter can be written by Rita.
Examples of Passive Level: upper intermediate
Tense Subject Verb Object

Passive: A letter is being written by Rita.
Past Progressive Active: Rita was writing a letter.
Passive: A letter was being written by Rita.
Past Perfect Active: Rita had written a letter.

MODAL VERBS
Modal verbs are special verbs which behave very differently from normal verbs. Here are some important differences:
1. Modal verbs do not take "-s" in the third person.
Examples:
He can speak Chinese.
She should be here by 9:00.
2. You use "not" to make modal verbs negative, even in Simple Present and Simple Past.
Examples:
He should not be late.
They might not come to the party.
3. Many modal verbs cannot be used in the past tenses or the future tenses.
Examples:
He will can go with us. Not Correct
She musted study very hard. Not Correct
Common Modal Verbs
Can,Could, May, Might, Must,
Ought to, Shall, Should, Will y Would
For the purposes of this tutorial, we have included some expressions which are not modal verbs including had better, have to, and have got to. These expressions are closely related to modals in meaning and are often interchanged with them.
Prepositions and Conjunctions of Time - for / during / while / when
For
For shows how long something happened. It is used to refer to a period of time. For example:
- We're ging to live in Malta for 6 months.
- She's in New York for a few days.
- We went to Saudi Arabia for a week.
See also the related unit on the Present Perfect and since.
While / During
Both during and while refer to a period of time in which something happens. For example:
- My phone rang while I was in a meeting.
- My phone rang during the meeting.
During is used with a noun or noun phrase. For example:
- We were busy during the weekend.
- During the night the cat woke me up.
- The Athenians suffered heavy losses during the battle of Salamis.
While is used with a subject and verb. For example:
- We went shopping while you were sleeping.
- You shouldn't eat while you are in the library.
- While I was working I got an email from Tamara.
When / While
When and while can both be used when two things happen at the same time.
When two continuous actions happen at the same time, we usually use while. For example:
- "While you were studying I went out shopping." Studying and shopping are actions.
When two short events happen at the same time, we use when. For example:
- "When I saw you I didn't recognize you." I saw you and I didn't recognize you are individual events.
- I heard you when you opened the door.
In this situation while is incorrect. For example:
"While I saw you I didn't recognize you."
When one continuous background situation occurs and one shorter event occurs at the same time, when and while can both be used. For example:
- "When I was in Rome I met my wife." - "While I was in Rome I met my wife."
- "I cut myself while I was cooking dinner." - "I cut myself when I was cooking dinner."
The position of while and when clauses is interchangeable with usually little difference in meaning.
- Don't forget to lock the door when you go out. - When you go out don't forget to lock the door.
- We're still growing while other businesses are losing clients. - While other businesses are losing clients, we're still growing.
If + simple present if+have+will
examples:
If I have money I will rent a car.
If I have an umbrella I will go.
If I work a lot I will make money.
If I have money I wont tell any body.
If + simple present + future will.
Ex: If I learn, I`ll pass the examen.
If we don`t hurry up, we will be late.
If + simple past + simple conditional.
examples:
If I were rich, I would buy a castle.

Should is used to give advice, to make recomendations or to talk about what we think is right or wrong.
form
should + infinitive without to
Ex. John should be more careful. He won´t be so lucky next time.
You should eat mor slowly.
I should take some exercise if I wont to fell fine.
Negative form
You shouldn`t work so much
You shoudn`t touch anything electrical if you are in bath.
Must is used in affirmative statements to express obligation or strong need in the present.
form
Must + infinitive without to
Ex. affirmative form:
You must get a working permit if you want to get a good job here in the USA.
I must worry about the exam if I were you. You have worked really hard.
Negative form:
You mustn`t drink so much. It`s not good for your health.
You mutsn`t come to school on time.
We use have to to talk about strong obligation that comes from somewhere else, for example from you boss, you parents, a rule at school or work.
Examples:
I have to be home by ten. (My parents told me so.)
I must be home by ten. I have a very difficult day tomorrow. (It is my own decision.)
I have to get up early, because I start work at 8. (It is a rule.)
I should get up early. (Now I stay in bed until lunchtime.)Don't have to means that there isn't any obligation at all,
there is no need to do it.Don't have to is different from shouldn't and mustn't.
Examples:
I don't have to get up early at weekend.
(I can stay in bed as long as I want.)
You mustn't tell lies. (It is very bad to tell lies.)
You don't have to go with me.
(You can go with me if you want to.)
You shouldn't smoke. (It is bad for your health.)In spoken British English you can also use have got to and haven't got to.
Examples:
Pamela is a waitress. She's got to work at weekends.
Have I got to do it right now?
I haven't got to take my sister to school, my parents do it.
Tip! We do not use have to when we talk about what is a good idea to do, but we don't do it yet. Instead, we use should.
