Grammar Review

Grammar Analysis

Let's have a look at what you have produced this week!

Do you remember Shafiq's email we have done in our second lesson this week?

• Go to your textbook Exercise 5 page 202

• Let's look at what you have produced in term of language!

Multiple Choice

They are a lot of interesting and beneficial activities ___ the workshop.

• on

• in

• at

• by

Preposition "at" VS "in"

Talking about place, people says to use "at"

e.g.:

'We eat dinner at Kopi Kafe'

'Yes, they are still at college completing their assignments'

Talking about time, people says to use "in"

e.g.:

'In the morning, we will meet him for the first time'

'I want you to submit this task in two days'

Why we use "in" for place in this sentence?

"They are a lot of interesting and beneficial activities in the workshop."

Because we are NOT talking about the physical place where the workshop happened, we are talking about what happened in the workshop.

Multiple Choice

Which one of these are correct?

• I will take the notes at the workshop and share with you

• I took notes at the workshop and shared with you

• I took notes at the workshop and will share with you

Check your tenses!

Workshop is in the past so 'taking notes' are already done, so use Past tense and write 'took'.

The 'sharing of notes' is only a plan and not yet done, and the word should be in Future tense so write 'will share'

Multiple Choice

Can you please return my notes after _______________ them?

• photocopied

• photocopying

• photocopy

When to add (+ing) in the verb?

• After "after", "before"

• e.g.: 'Make sure you finish the work before going out with your friends.

• After "am", "is", "are", "was", "were"

• e.g.: 'I am struggling to finish my work'

Multiple Choice

Make sure you _________ the notes quickly

• return

• returned

• returning

• to return

Rootword!

DO NOT do anything to the verb!

• After "Make sure"

• e.g.: 'Make sure you eat your medicines today'

• After "can", "could", "may", "might", "shall", "should", "will", "would"

• e.g.: 'I might come over to your house tonight for dinner'

Poll

Which one is correct for you to reply the email?

• You also can photocopy my notes.

• You can also photocopy my notes.

"also can" VS "can also"

If you choose "can also" you are right!

'you can also photocopy my notes' means:

you can borrow my notes and also photocopy them.

"also can" means slightly different.

'you also can photocopy the notes' means:

other people can photocopy my notes, you also can do it.

Multiple Choice

• but/ Although

• and/ Nevertheless

• and/ Although

• but/ Nevertheless

BUT and NEVERTHELESS

Use these to words when

you want to combine words that are opposites.

Informative is positive, exhausting is negative. They are opposites.

Exhausting is negative, enjoyed is positive. They are opposites.

Multiple Choice

Which one is INCORRECT USE of the word informative?

• The workshop was very informative.

• The workshop has lots of informative.

informative VS information

• informative is an adjective. The word describes things/persons/events (noun) that give a lot of information. Adjective (adj) describes noun (N).

• The workshop (N) was very informative (adj).

• If the N is after the adj, you need article (art) to complete: a/ an/ the. (art+adj+N)

• It was really an (art) informative (adj) workshop (N)

• The workshop was an (art) informative (adj) event (N)
