Review of Unit 2-3 pp. 26-27, 38-39 • Unit 4: • Can/can’t • Like + v-ing • Object pronouns • Possessive pronouns Outline
Can is a modal auxiliary verb and has two main meanings: ability and possibility Ability: I can play the piano (I know how to play the piano) Possibility: I can come to the party (I have the possibility to come to the party Request: Can you help me? (a third meaning found in questions asking for something) Can/can’t …
Can’t comes from cannot and it’s a contracted form Can never changes, does not add the –s for the third person singular and is followed by the verb in the base form (infinitive withoutto): I can play soccer NOT I can to play soccer Can/can’t…
Affirmative: I/you/he/she/it/we/they canrun Negative: I/you/he/she/it/we/they cannot/can’trun Interrogative: Can I/you/he/she/it/we/they run? Interrogative negative: Can’t I/you/he/she/it/we/they run Can/can’t
Sentiment verbs such as like, enjoy, love, hate, don’t mind (both in the affirmative and in the negative) are followed by the verb in the –ing form • Examples: I love reading books, I like playing football, I enjoy watching crime stories, I hate driving in the rain, I don’t mind wearing those shoes • The same rule is followed by the verbs start, begin, end, finish, stop Like + v-ing
The –ing form is obtained from the union of the base form of the verb with –ing. This is also called present participle or gerund Examples: talk – talking, dream – dreaming, study – studying, stay – staying, love – loving (the –e disappears), drive – driving V-ing
Object pronouns, which replace nouns) go after the verb or a preposition (with, at, of, from, to …): I call her, I go with them Object pronouns
Possessive pronouns indicate possession and substitute a possessive adjective followed by a noun: This is my book and that’s yours Possessive pronouns
