  1. ORDER OF SENTENCES

  2. POSITIVE SENTENCES

  3. EXERCISE 1 • must / at five o'clock / leave / we / the house →  • the library / take / I / the book / will / today / to →  • my mum / breakfast / in the morning / made →  • tonight / want / to the cinema / to go / we →  • wrote / last week / they / at school / a test → 

  4. NEGATIVE SENTENCES

  6. SUBORDINATE CLAUSES

  7. EXERCISE 3 • They don't know where (have left / the key / they) . • Ring me if (have / you / a problem) . • I'd like to know why (her holiday / does not spend / she / in France . • They told him that (wanted to play / they / tennis) . • He was reading the paper while (she / in the garden / was working) .

  8. ADVERBS OF MANNER (e.g.: slowly, carefully, awfully) Theseadverbs are putbehindthedirectobject (orbehindtheverbifthere's no directobject).

  9. ADVERBS OF PLACE • (e.g.: here, there, behind, above) • Like adverbs of manner, these adverbs are put behind the direct object or the verb.

  10. ADVERBS OF TIME • (e.g.: recently, now, then, yesterday) • Adverbs of time are usually put at the end of the sentence. • If you don't want to put emphasis on the time, you can also put the adverb of time at the beginning of the sentence.

  11. ADVERBS OF FREQUENCY • (e.g.: always, never, seldom, usually) • Adverbs of frequency are put directly before the main verb. If 'be' is the main verb and there is no auxiliary verb, adverbs of frequency are put behind 'be'. Is there an auxiliary verb, however, adverbs of frequency are put before 'be'.

  12. EXERCISE 4 • We were in London. (last week) →  • He walks his dog. (rarely) →  • She waited. (patiently) →  • My father goes fishing. (always) →  • Your bedroom is. (upstairs) →  • We don't go skiing. (in summer) →  • Cats can hear. (well) →  • I saw him. (there) →  • The girl speaks English. (fluently) →  • I have seen that film. (never) / (before) →
