We can add question tags like&nbsp;isn't it?,&nbsp;can you?&nbsp;or&nbsp;didn't they?&nbsp;to a statement to make it into a question. Question tags are more common in speaking than writing. We often use question tags when we expect the listener to agree with our statement. In this case, when the statement is positive, we use a negative question tag.

The infinitive is a form of the verb that hasn’t had any endings added to it and doesn’t relate to any particular tense. In English, the infinitive is&nbsp;being made up of two words: “to” + base form of the verb:&nbsp;to speak. &nbsp;

Common preposition combinations followed by gerunds: 

• Be excited about, complain about, talk about, think about, worry about • Apologize for, blame for, famous for • Believe in, interested in, succeed in Take care of, instead of, be accused of • Insist on, count on, concentrate on • Keep from, prevent from, profit from • In addition to look forward to, be used to

A suffix&nbsp;is a letter or group of letters added at the end of a word which makes a new word.

Often, the suffix causes a spelling change to the original word. In the table above, the&nbsp;-e&nbsp;ending of&nbsp;complicate&nbsp;and&nbsp;create&nbsp;disappears when the -ion&nbsp;suffix is added. Other examples of spelling changes include: 1. beauty,&nbsp;duty&nbsp;+ -ful → beautiful, dutiful&nbsp;(-y&nbsp;changes to&nbsp;i) 2. heavy,&nbsp;ready&nbsp;+ -ness → heaviness, readiness&nbsp;(-y&nbsp;changes to&nbsp;i) 3. able, possible + -ity → ability,&nbsp;possibility&nbsp;(-le&nbsp;changes to&nbsp;il) 4. permit,&nbsp;omit&nbsp;+ -ion → permission, omission&nbsp;(-t&nbsp;changes to&nbsp;ss)

We use the modal verb "used to" to indicate something that happened or happened in the past in a habitual way. Also, it is used for something that used to be true but is no longer true. As with the other modal verbs, "used to" is followed by the base form of the verb (the infinitive without "to").

Affirmative Sentences: Subject + "used to" + verb ...

Negative Sentences&nbsp; Subjet + “didn’t” + “use to” + verbo…

Interrogative Sentences Did + subject + "use to" + verb ...?

Is a modal verb that precedes the main verb of the sentence.

1. When we are telling someone what we thought of the future from the past tense or when we refer to old habits. 2. To talk about a wish or a will in the past. 3.

AFFIRMATIVE Subject + Would + Main verb + Complement NEGATIVE Subject + Would + Not + Main verb + Complement INTERROGATIVE Would + Subject + Main verb + Complement

First vs. Zero Conditional

The first conditional describes a&nbsp;particular&nbsp;situation, while the&nbsp;zero conditional&nbsp;describes what happens&nbsp;in general. For example in zero conditional: if you sit in the sun, you get burned (the burning is a natural consequence of the sitting) But in first conditional: if you sit in the sun, you'll get burned ( talking about what will happen today, another day might be different)

The first conditional describes things that I think are likely to happen in the future, while second conditional talks about things that I don't will really happen. It's subjective, it depends on my point of view. For example in first conditional: If she studies harder, she'll pass the exam (It's possible she will study harder and so she'll pass) But in second conditional: If she studied harder, she would pass the exam (It's probably that she won't study harder, or it's very unlikely, and so she won't pass)

Zero conditional sentences describe things that are generally true. -General truth -Something that is normally/always true
