Grammarcommentarv
Notice how be changesin the past simple:
To make questionsin the presentsimple,we usuallyput do or
doesbefore you,he,she,etc:
A: Do you like rap musicl
B: lt's OK.
A: Do you drive to work?
B: Yes,usually,but in the summer I sometimescycle.
A: Does your brother still live at home with your parents?
B: Yes,he does.
When we use question words, they come at the beginningof the
question:
A: What kind of movies do you likel
B: Lots of things,really.
A: Why does she want to move?
B: I'm not sure.
A: What do your parents do?
B: My dad'sa businessman
and my mum'sa teacher.
We use the past simple to talk about things which are now
finished.Here are some examples:
saw Jim yesterday.(Ihis is something short.)
worked there for six years.(This took a long time.)
went swimming every Saturdaymorning when I was a kid.
(This is something regular in the past.)
The mcf,t important thing about all these actions is that they are
finished.
To make negativesentences,we put didnt before the verb:
I didn't do anything!
You didnt try!
They didn't get my letter.
To make questions in the past simple,we put did before you,he,
she,etc:
A: Did you enjoy the meal?
B: Yes,thanks.lt was lovely.

Grammarcommentary
(pagea3)
Comparatives
We use comparativeadjectivesto compare two things or
people.Two of the most useful comparativeadiectivesare
irregufar: bener (good- better) and worse(bod - worse).Here are
some examples:
Don't come in December.Theweather is worse then.
I prefer this restaurant.Thefood's better than in the other
place.
We usuallymake comparativesof longer adjectives- with two
or more syllables- by putting morebefore them:
This book is more interestingthan the last one I read.
It's more difficult to find a flat here than in my hometown.
It's nice,but it's more expensivethan the placeI usually
go to.
With shorter adjectives- of one syllable- we add -er. lf they
end in -y,we remove the -y and add -ier:
I'm shorter than my sister,but taller than my brother.
My brother is three years older than me.
I'm healthierthan I was when I smoked.
You look happierthan the last time I saw you.
lf the adjectiveends in a vowel and then a consonant,we double
the consonant.
A: Do
u need to tet any money out of the cashmachinel
B: Yes,l do.Thanksfor ieminding me.
A: Does your brother need to get a visafor Chinal
B: No, he just needsto take his passport.
We can also saywe needsomething
I need a drink. I'm reallythirsty.
I need a holiday!I'm reallytired.
The dog needs a wash! He's really dirty!

G 1 3 Making requests(page53)
To ask someone to do somethingfor you, you can use Couldyou

polite and are better if you dont know the person very well.
It's a good idea to add pleoseat the end of the requests.Notice
how we answer requests:
can't (page
For more information on using questions with coul4
see G24.
presentcontinuous
We form the present continuous usingthe correct form of be
+ verb + -ing.We use the present continuous to talk about things
that started before now and havent finishedyet. In positive
sentences,we often use the time expressionot the moment:
I'm looking for a new flat at the moment.
You'relooking in the wrong place!
My sister'sworking in the Czech Republicat the moment.
We're stayingin the Hilton. lt's great.
To make negatiyesentences,we put not after the verb be.
In spoken English,we can use the contracted forms orent and
isnt. Here are some examples:
I'm not feelingvery well.
Het not studyingany more. He's working in a bank now.
(OR He isn't studyingany more)
They're not living in Leeds any more.They moved last year.
(OR They aren't livingin Leedsany more)
To make questions,we put the correct form of the verb be
before you,he,she,etc:
We use con t yerbto talk about things we're able to do.We use
con't + yerb to talk about things we're not able to do. Here are
some examples:
I can playthe violin.
I can speaka bit of Swedish.

Superlatives
We use superlativeadjectivesto compare lots of things or
people.Two of the most useful superlativeadjectivesare
irregufar: the best Good - better - best) and the worst (bod - worse
- worst).Here are some examples:
To make netative sentences,we put not after the verb wosI were.
fn spoken English,we use the contracted forms weren't
and wosnt:
I wasn't feelingvery well, so I decidedto go home.
A: Why did your brother leavehis job?
B: He wasn't enjoyingthe work any more.
The band werent making any money,so they decided to
split up.
To make questions,we put the correct form of the verb wos /
were before you,he,she,etc:
A: Were you livingin Spainwhen you met your wife?
B: Yes,I was. I was working in Valencia.
A: I sawWayne Rooney yesterdayin the street!
B: Really?
What was he doing?
A: Nothing special.He was just shoppingwith his girlfriend.
