GRAMMAR UNDER THE HAMMER
-
ElementarySome LP Elementary Students don’t know that:
DO is used as an auxiliary verb to form a question in the Present Simple tense, that is, to see if an actions happens regularly or habitually, e.g.
DO you play tennis?
And if the answer is negative you must use it again:No, I DO NOT (DON’T) play tennis
If it is third person singular, we use DOES and DOESN’T -
Pre-IntermediateAll LP Pre-intermediate students should know that:
MUST can be used for the present or future but it has no past tense. If you want to say that you went to the doctor yesterday because it was necessary for you to go, you can say:“Yesterday I HAD TO go to the doctor.”
You can say “I must go to work from Monday to Friday” but “I HAD TO go to work last Sunday because there was an emergency in the factory”
-
IntermediateMany LP Intermediate students know that:
PURPOSE can be expressed in different ways but the easiest and perhaps most common way is to use the INFINITIVE
TO GO to work I need a car,You need to study TO PASS the exam
-
AdvancedMaybe not all Advanced pupils will know that:
The phrasal verb TO EGG ON means to encourage somebody to do something, especially while watching them compete against others in some physical contest, e.g
John EGGED ON his 9 year-old son as he was competing in the under-10 school running championships. -
NativeEvery Native speaker knows that:
The idiomatic expression To MAKE IT means TO BECOME A SUCCESS:
In Frank Sinatra’s song New York, New York there is a line “If you can MAKE IT there, you can MAKE IT anywhere”

A GOOD JOKE
A man asked his doctor if he thought he'd live to be a hundred.
The doctor asked the man, "Do you smoke or drink?"
"No," he replied, "I've never done either."
"Do you gamble, drive fast cars, and go with lots of women?" inquired the doctor.
"No, I've never done any of those things either."
"Well then," said the doctor, "why do you want to live to be a 100?"
A CORNY JOKE
After a quarrel, a wife said to her husband, "You know, I was a fool when I married you."
The husband replied, "Yes, dear, but then I was in love and didn't notice."
Foreign words & expressions
Quid Pro Quo
Quid Pro Quo is Latin and it means something for something. It indicates a more-or-less equal exchange or substitution of goods or services in the sense of.
If you do that for me I’ll do that for you. It is usually considered to be a fair exchange by both parties.
Mr Smith and Mrs Robinson have a quid pro quo agreement; he paints her house once a year and she does his gardening every month.
Quid Pro Quo is often used in legal documents.
