Question Tags preguntas que decimos al final de una oración (afirmativa o negativa) cuando queremos que nuestro interlocutor muestre acuerdo o desacuerdo, o bien para preguntar lo que no sabemos. Para formar la "questiontag" utilizamos los verbos auxiliares (be, have, do, will, would, can could, etc…) y a continuación el pronombre personal sujeto. El auxiliar debe concordar con el verbo de la oración principal, es decir, si el verbo está en pasado, el auxiliar irá también en pasado. En oraciones afirmativas, la questiontag va en negativa.
Question Tagsexceptions Con Iam, hacemos la question tag,aren´t I? Cuando en la oración principal usamos palabras negativas como “nothing”, “no one”, “nobody”, “no” “never” “hardly” “scarcely” and “little” la questiontag deberá ser afirmativa. Con “somebody” “anybody”, “nobody” “someone” “anyone”, “no-one”“everbody” “anyone”, la questiontag llevará el auxiliar en plural y el pronombre sujeto "they", aunque en la oración el verbo esté en singular. Con el imperativoEn negativo ponemos la questiontag"willyou"? Y la orden se convierte en una petición cortés:- Don'tbe late, willyou? No llegues tarde, ¿vale?En afirmativo ponemos la questiontag "won'tyou?", y la orden se convierte en invitación:-Haveanotherpiece of cake, won'tyou? Tómate otro trozo de pastel, ¿no?

Zero Conditional When we talk about things that are generally or always true. We use: If/When/Unless + present form + present simple or imperative. Note that we are not talking about a specific event but something which is generally true. In the condition clause, we can use a variety of present forms. In the result clause, there can only be the present simple or imperative. Notice that 'unless' means the same as 'if not'.
Zero Conditional • Examples: • Unless he asks you politely, refuse to do any more work on the project. • Unless prices are rising, it's not a good investment. • Unless you've been there yourself, you don't really understand how fantastic it is. • If you visit London, go on the London Eye. • If unemployment is rising, people tend to stay in their present jobs. • If you've done that, go and have a coffee. • When you go on holiday, take plenty of sun cream. It'll be very hot. • When I'm concentrating, please don't make so much noise. • When I've finished an article, I always ask Kate to read it through.

First Conditional The first conditional has the present simple after 'if', then the future simple in the other clause: if + present simple, ... will + infinitive It's used to talk about things which might happen in the future. Of course, we can't know what will happen in the future, but this describes possible things, which could easily come true. • If it rains, I won't go to the park. • If I study today, I'll go to the party tonight. • If I have enough money, I'll buy some new shoes. • She'll be late if the train is delayed. • She'll miss the bus if she doesn't leave soon. • If I see her, I'll tell her. Sometimes, we use shall, can, or may instead of will, for example: If you are good today, you can watch TV tonight.
First Conditional We will (pass) the examination if we study hard. If you (go) to see this film, you will have a good time. If he (play) sport, he will live longer.

Second Conditional The second conditional uses the past simple after if, then 'would' and the infinitive: if + past simple, ...would + infinitive We can use 'were' instead of 'was' with 'I' and 'he/she/it'. An imaginary result in a situation that does not exist First, we can use it to talk about things in the future that are probably not going to be true. Maybe I'm imagining some dream for example. • If I won the lottery, I would buy a big house.(I probably won't win the lottery) • If I met the Queen of England, I would say hello. • She would travel all over the world if she were rich. • She would pass the exam if she ever studied.(She never studies, so this won't happen) Second, we can use it to talk about something in the present which is impossible, because it's not true. Is that clear? Have a look at the examples: • If I had his number, I would call him. (I don't have his number now, so it's impossible for me to call him). • If I were you, I wouldn't go out with that man. • If I were president, I would put you in Jail

Third Conditional Past perfect after 'if' and then 'would have' and the Past participle in the second part of the sentence: if + past perfect, ...would + have + past participle It talks about the past. It's used to describe a situation that didn't happen, and to imagine the result of this situation. If she had studied, she would have passed the exam (but, really we know she didn't study and so she didn't pass) If I hadn't eaten so much, I wouldn't have felt sick (but I did eat a lot, and so I did feel sick).

Mixed conditionals Are those unreal conditional sentences whose time in the if-clause is different than the time in the main-clause. Let's first have a look at unreal conditional sentences: If she were shorter, she would be more attractive. I am busy next week. If I had time, I would come to your party. If they hadn't trained hard, they wouldn't have won. As you can see, they refer to the same time: the present, the future or the past. If we mix the sentences, we get mixed conditionals.
Mixed conditionals Past and Present • If my father hadn't lost his keys, we wouldn't have to wait until he finds them.But my father lost his keys and therefore we have to wait until he finds them. • If I had installed an anti-virus, my computer wouldn't be so slow now.But I didn't install an anti-virus and therefore my computer is so slow now. • If our house had been broken into, we would be very sad.But our house wasn't broken into and we aren't sad. Past and Future • If our house had been broken into, we would call the police.But our house wasn't broken into and we are not going to call police. • If we had won the lottery last week, we would buy a new sofa today.But we didn't win the lottery and we are not going to buy a new sofa today.
Mixed Conditionals Present and Past • If I were smarter, I would have graduated from Stanford.But I am not smarter and therefore I didn't graduate from Stanford. • If Mary weren't a snob, she wouldn't have had so many parties this year.But Mary is a snob and therefore she had so many parties this year. Present and Future • If you were more eloquent, you would become a politician.But I am not more eloquent and I won't become a politician. • If you had more time, I would go to the cinema with you.But you don't have more time and I won't go to the cinema with you.

Suffixes Suffix is a group of letters placed at the end of a word to make a new word. A suffix can make a new word in one of two ways: inflectional (grammatical): for example, changing singular to plural (dog > dogs), or changing present tense to past tense (walk > walked). In this case, the basic meaning of the word does not change. derivational (the new word has a new meaning, "derived" from the original word): for example, teach > teacher or care > careful
Inflectional suffixes Inflectional suffixes do not change the meaning of the original word. So in "Every day I walk to school" and "Yesterday I walked to school", the words walk and walked have the same basic meaning. In "I have one car" and "I have two cars", the basic meaning of the words car and cars is exactly the same. In these cases, the suffix is added simply for grammatical "correctness". Look at these examples:
Derivational suffixes With derivational suffixes, the new word has a new meaning, and is usually a different part of speech. But the new meaning is related to the old meaning - it is "derived" from the old meaning. We can add more than one suffix, as in this example: derive (verb) + tion = derivation (noun) + al = derivational (adjective)
Suffixes Suffixes Spelling Rules RULE: 1 - When a word ends with a consonant and the suffix begins with a consonant, simply add the consonant with no spelling changes.enjoyment = enjoy + mentcommitment = commit + mentdoubtful = doubt + fulRULE: 2 - For most one syllable words ending in a single consonant you need to double the last letter when you add a suffix.run + ing = runningsun + y = sunnyfun + y = funny*** When the word ends with more than one consonant, the last letter is NOT doubled.jump + ing = jumpingsing + ing = singing
Suffixes RULE: 3 - For words with more than one syllable and end with the letter"L" you must double the "L" when adding suffixes.travel + ing = travellingcancel + ed = cancelledRULE: 4 - For words stressed on the last syllable and ending with a singleconsonant, you need to double the last letter.prefer + ing = preferringbegin + er = beginner*** For words where the stress isn't on the last syllable, then you do NOT need to double the last letter.benefit + ed = benefitedoffer + ing = offering
Suffixes ***OTHER SPELLING RULES- "Y" to "I" and the silent "E"When a word ends in a consonant plus "Y" then the "Y" is changed to "I" when you add the suffix. When adding the suffix 'ing' to a word ending in "Y" -- you keep the "Y."lonely + ness = lonelinesshappy + ness = happinesscopy + ing = copyingSilent "E" words end with a consonant and an "E." Words like love, like, and hope...you drop the "E" when you add the suffix.noise + y = noisysimple + y = simply
Prefixes A prefix is placed at the beginning of a word to modify or change its meaning.
