SOME & ANY
We can use some or any before plural or uncountable nouns. They all mean something similar to a/an before a singular noun. For example:
- Can I have a banana? [One banana, but any one is okay.]
- Can I have some bananas? [More than one banana, but any small group is okay.]
Generally, we use any in the same way as some: when we are thinking about a certain amount or number of something. Remember, usually both some and anycan only be used with plural countable nouns or uncountable nouns, but not usually with singular countable nouns.
We usually use some with affirmative (positive) sentences and any with negatives and questions:
We usually use some with affirmative (positive) sentences and any with negatives and questions:
- She bought some tomatoes [positive sentence].
- She didn't buy any tomatoes [negative sentence].
- Did she buy any tomatoes [question]?
However, there are some exceptions to this.
1: Any can be used in a positive sentence to mean 'it's not important which one'. When we use any in this way, it's most often used with singular countable nouns:
1: Any can be used in a positive sentence to mean 'it's not important which one'. When we use any in this way, it's most often used with singular countable nouns:
- You can take any bus.
- Pass me any glass.
- Come over any Sunday.
2: Any can also be used in positive sentences that have a negative feeling, for example if they include never, hardly, without:
- She never eats any fruit.
- We hardly watch any television.
- Julia left the house without any money.
3: Some can be used in questions when we expect that the answer will be 'yes'. This is very common in offers and requests:
- Would you like some coffee?
- Do you want some sandwiches?
- Could you give me some help?
- Could you pass me some sugar?
Compare the following two sentences:
- Do you have any letters for me? [This is a real question. I don't know if you have any letters or not.]
- Do you have some letters for me? [I think you do, so I'm expecting that you will say 'yes'.]
MUCH AND MANY
The words much and many mean a lot of.
§ If a noun is in singular, we use much
Example:
much money
§ If a noun is in plural, we use many
Example:
many friends
Use of much / many
In everyday English, we normally use much / many only in questions and negative clauses.
Example:
How much money have you got?
Carla does not have many friends.
Countable / Uncountable Nouns
In connection with much / many people often speak of countable nouns and uncountable nouns.
Countable nouns have a singular and a plural form. In plural, these nouns can be used with a number (that's why they are called 'countable nouns'). Countable nouns take many.
Example:
100 friends – many friends
Uncountable nouns can only be used in singular. These nouns cannot be used with a number (that's why they are called 'uncountable nouns'). Uncountable nouns take much.
Example:
Note: Of course you can count money – but then you would name the currency and say that you have got 5 euro (but not „5 money“).
A LITTLE AND A FEW
When do we use a little/little and when a few/few?
· a little: non countable nouns (milk, marmalade, money, time etc.)
· a few: countable nouns (bottles of milk, jars of marmalade, dollars, minutes etc.)
Examples:
· He has a little money left.
· He has a few dollars left.
We use few and little without the article a to point out a more negative meaning.
Examples:
· A few students of our school know this. (There are some student who know it.)
· Few students know this. (It is almost unkonown.)
A LOT OF AND LOTS OF
A lot of and lots of are used to express that there is a large quantity of something.
We use a lot of in positive sentences, negative sentences and questions. This expression can be used with countable or uncountable nouns.
Examples:
· There are a lot of dogs in their house. (Countable noun)
· I have a lot of time to answer your questions. (Uncountable noun)
· I saw a lot of people waiting in the queue. (Countable noun)
· We did have a lot of fun, didn't we? (Uncountable noun)

UNIT 5
INDEFINITE PRONOUN (SOME, ANY, NO)
The indefinite pronouns are:
somebody
|
someone
|
something
|
anybody
|
anyone
|
anything
|
nobody
|
no one
|
nothing
|
everybody
|
everyone
|
everything
|
We use indefinite pronouns to refer to people or things without saying exactly who or what they are. We use pronouns ending in -body or -one for people, and pronouns ending in -thing forthings:
Everybody enjoyed the concert.
I opened the door but there was no one at home.
It was a very clear day. We could see everything.
I opened the door but there was no one at home.
It was a very clear day. We could see everything.
We use a singular verb after an indefinite pronoun:
Everybody loves Sally.
Everything was ready for the party.
Everything was ready for the party.
When we refer back to an indefinite pronoun we normally use a plural pronoun:
Everybody enjoyed the concert. They stood up and clapped.
I will tell somebody that dinner is ready. They have been waiting a long time.
I will tell somebody that dinner is ready. They have been waiting a long time.
We can add -'s to an indefinite pronoun to make a possessive.
They were staying in somebody’s house.
Is this anybody’s coat?
Is this anybody’s coat?
We use indefinite pronouns with no- as the subject in negative clauses (not pronouns with any.)
Anybody didn’t come >> Nobody came.
We do not use another negative in a clause with nobody, no one or nothing:
Nobody came.
Nothing happened.
Nothing happened.
We use else after indefinite pronouns to refer to people or things in addition to the ones we already mentioned.
All the family came, but no one else.
If Michael can’t come we’ll ask somebody else.
So that's eggs, peas and chips. Do you want anything else?
If Michael can’t come we’ll ask somebody else.
So that's eggs, peas and chips. Do you want anything else?
· Reflexive Pronoun
Reflexive pronouns end in -self or -selves. They refer back to the subject forms of personal pronouns (underlined in the example below):
· We didn’t decorate it ourselves. Someone else did it for us.
subject pronoun
|
reflexive pronoun
|
I
|
myself
|
you (singular)
|
yourself
|
he
|
himself
|
she
|

|
it
|
itself
|
one
|
oneself
|
we
|
ourselves
|
you (plural)
|
yourselves
|
they
|
themselves
|
Reflexive pronouns for same subject and object
· We often use reflexive pronouns when the subject and the object of the verb refer to the same person or thing:
· He cut himself on the broken glass.
· She made herself a cup of tea and sat down in front of the television.
· Parents often blame themselves for the way their children behave.
We use a reflexive pronoun to make it clear who or what is being referred to.
Compare
Agnes looked atherself in the mirror.
|
The subject and the object are the same.
|
Agnes looked ather in the mirror.
|
The subject and the object are different. Agnes is looking at someone else in the mirror.
|
Reflexive pronouns for emphasis
We can use reflexive pronouns for emphasis:
· The director of the company wrote to us himself to apologise for the dreadful service.(or The director of the company himself wrote to us to apologise for the dreadful service.)
We don’t use reflexive pronouns on their own as the subject of a clause, but we can use them with a noun or pronoun to emphasise the subject:
· Parents and teachers always pass on to children what they themselves have been told, and this has been going on for hundreds, or even thousands of years.
Reflexive pronouns + by meaning alone
We often use reflexive pronouns with by to mean ‘alone’ or ‘without any help’:
· Why don’t you go by yourself?
· The children made the entire meal by themselves.
Reflexive pronouns for politeness
We sometimes use reflexive pronouns instead of personal pronouns for politeness, but not as the subject of a clause:
· The National Trust is a charity depending on the support of people like yourself. (or… people like you.)
Warning:
We don’t use reflexive pronouns with verbs of everyday actions unless we want to emphasise something:
· She washed and dressed and had breakfast in the tiny kitchen.
· Not: She washed herself and dressed herself
UNIT 6
Have Something Done and Causative Have
If you 'have something done', you get somebody else to do something for you.
· I'm going to have my hair cut.
· She's having her house redecorated.
· I'm having a copy of the report sent to you
In informal English, we can replace 'have' by 'get'.
· We're getting a new telephone system installed.
· They will be getting the system repaired as quickly as they can.
· I got the bill sent direct to the company.
We can also use 'have/got something done' in situations where something bad has happened to people or their possessions. This is not something they wanted to happen.
· John had all his money stolen from his hotel bedroom.
· We had our car damaged by a falling tree.
· I got my nose broken playing rugby.
We use a causative verb when we want to talk about something that someone else did for us or for another person. It means that the subject caused the action to happen, but didn't do it themselves. Maybe they paid, or asked, or persuaded the other person to do it. For example, we can say:
- I cleaned my house. (This means I cleaned it myself).
If I paid someone to clean it, of course I can say:
- A cleaner cleaned my house.
But, another way is to use a causative construction. So I can also say:
- I had my house cleaned.
In a sense, using a causative verb is similar to using a passive. The important thing is that the house is now clean. We don't focus on who did the cleaning.
Have + object + past participle (have something done)
We usually use 'have something done' when we are talking about paying someone to do something for us. It's often used for services. The form is 'subject + have + object + past participle'.
Have + object + past participle (have something done)
We usually use 'have something done' when we are talking about paying someone to do something for us. It's often used for services. The form is 'subject + have + object + past participle'.
- I had my car washed.
- John will have his house painted.
Get + object + past participle (get something done)
We can also use 'subject + get + object + past participle'. This has the same meaning as 'have', but is less formal.
We can also use 'subject + get + object + past participle'. This has the same meaning as 'have', but is less formal.
- The students get their essays checked.
- I'll get my hair cut next week.
- He got his washing machine fixed.

UNIT 8
Question Tag
Question tags are an important part of everyday communication and perform many different functions. For example, they can be used to get a conversation started or keep it moving; they can soften an order to do something or they can be a more polite way to request information.
Apart from the difficulty of knowing when to use question tags appropriately, the non-native speaker has to learn how to form them and how to say them. The general rule is that you finish a positive statement with a negative tag, and vice versa, using the main verb (if there is no auxiliary) or the first auxiliary verb (if there is an auxiliary).
For example:
- It's a lovely day, isn't it?
- You've been told about the meeting, haven't you?
- You didn't do your homework, did you?
- You wouldn't have been able to do it, would you?
How you say the tag depends on the function of the tag. The following sentence, when seen written down, is ambiguous.
- You haven't seen Sascha, have you?
This could be a genuine question; i.e. I don't know if you have seen him or not and I want you to tell me. (In this case the tag would be stressed and said with rising intonation). Or it could confirming what I know to be true and expecting an response like: "No, he hasn't been here all day." (In which case, the tag would not be stressed, and it would be said with falling intonation.)
UNIT 9
So and Such
Such is a determiner; so is an adverb. They often have the same meaning of ‘very’ or ‘to this degree’:
· Those are such good chocolates.
· Those chocolates are so good.
We use such + noun phrase and so + adjective or adverb phrase:
· She is such a great cook.
Not: She is so great cook.
· That was so unpleasant. (so + adjective)
Not: That was such unpleasant.
· Why do you drive so fast? (so + adverb)
Not: Why do you drive such fast?
Compare
so + adjective
|
such + noun phrase
|
You’re so kind.
|
He’s such a kind person
|
It was so hot we couldn’t work.
|
November was such a cold month.
|
So but not such can also be used in front of much, many, little, few to add emphasis:
· So much food was wasted every day.
Not: Such much food was wasted
· In those days there were so few doctors in our area.
Not: … there were such few doctors
See also:
Typical errors
· We use such, not so, before a noun, even if there is an adjective before the noun:
· They’re such snobs! They won’t speak to anyone else in the village.
Not: They’re so snobs …
· Those are such cool shoes. Where did you get them?
Not: Those are so cool shoes.
· We use such, not so, before a noun phrase with the indefinite article a/an:
· This is such a wonderful kitchen!
Not: This is a so wonderful kitchen!
· We use so, not such, before adjectives:
· Thank you. You’re so kind.
Not: You’re such kind.
· We use so, not such, before adverbs:
· She always dresses so elegantly.
Not: She always dresses such elegantly.
Third Conditional
for no possibility
If I had won the lottery, I would have bought a car.
The first conditional and second conditionals talk about the future. With the third conditional we talk about the past. We talk about a condition in the past that did nothappen. That is why there is no possibility for this condition. The third conditional is also like a dream, but with no possibility of the dream coming true.
Last week you bought a lottery ticket. But you did not win. :-(
if
|
condition
|
result
|
Past Perfect
|
would have + past participle
| |
If
|
I had won the lottery,
|
I would have bought a car.
|
Notice that we are thinking about an impossible past condition. You did not win the lottery. So the condition was not true, and that particular condition can never be true because it is finished. We use the Past Perfect tense to talk about the impossible past condition. We use would have + past participle to talk about the impossible past result. The important thing about the third conditional is that both the condition and result are impossible now.
Look at these example senteces:
if
|
condition
|
result
|
Past Perfect
|
would have + past participle
| |
If
|
I had seen Mary,
|
I would have told her.
|
If
|
Tara had been free yesterday,
|
I would have invited her.
|
If
|

A sentence which expresses command, request, advice or suggestion is called imperative sentence.
For example,
• Open the door.
• Please help me.
• Learn your lesson.
To change such sentences into indirect speech, the word “ordered” or “requested” or “advised” or “suggested” or “forbade” or “not to do” is added to reporting verb depending upon nature of imperative sentence in reported speech.
Examples.
Direct speech: He said to me, “please help me”
Indirect Speech: He requested me to help him.
Direct speech: She said to him, “you should work hard for exam”
Indirect Speech: He suggested him to work hard for exam.
Direct speech: They said to him, “do not tell a lie”
Indirect Speech: They said to him not to tell a lie.
Direct speech: He said, “open the door”
Indirect Speech: He ordered to open the door.
Direct speech: The teacher said to student, “do not waste time”
Indirect Speech: The teacher advised the students not to waste time.
Direct speech: He said, “please give me glass of water”
Indirect Speech: He requested to give him a glass of water.
Direct speech: Doctor said to me, “Do not smoke”
Indirect Speech: Doctor advised me not to smoke.
Direct speech: The teacher said to him, “Get out”
Indirect Speech: The teacher ordered him to get out.
UNIT 14
DIRECT INDIRECT QUESTION
'Yes / No' Questions
To make an indirect 'yes / no' question, we use 'if' and the word order of a normal positive sentence. This is the same as for reported 'yes / no' questions. On the other hand, we don't usually need to 'backshift' (change the tense of the verb) as we do with reported questions.
Of course, most tenses make questions by using 'inversion' (changing the word order). To change from a direct 'yes / no' question with inversion to an indirect question, you add 'if' and change the word order back to a normal positive sentence. You don't need to use inversion.
'Yes / no' questions for tenses with inversion:

'Yes / no' questions with tenses that use 'do / does / did':
Sometimes you want to make an indirect question using the present simple of any verb except 'be' or the past simple of any verb except 'be'. These tense make direct questions by using 'do / does / did'. When we want to make indirect 'yes / no' questions using these tenses, we need 'if' and we don't need 'do / does / did'.

'Wh' Questions
In the same way as with reported 'wh' questions, we use the question word and the word order of a normal positive sentence to make indirect 'wh' questions. We don't need to use inversion. Again, we also don't usually need to 'backshift' (change the tense of the verb) as we do with reported questions.
To change a direct question to an indirect question for tenses that make questions using inversion, you just add 'if' and change the word order back to a normal positive sentence.
