                          ************

Adjectives Ending -Ed and -Ing

 we use the -cd adjectives mainly for 
people, because they refer to feelings:
 I'm bored.
 We use the -ing adjectives for things (and sometimes people), which produce the feeling:
This book is boring.  

tired = describes how you feel 
 I never feel relaxed the day before I go on holiday.
Jack is a bit depressed .He lost his job. 
 Are you interested  in art?

tiring = describes people, things, and situations
This exercise is really boring.  
 It was a very exciting match. 


 ***********

Questions Without Auxiliaries

When the question word (Who?, What?, Which?, How many?, etc.) is the subject of the verb in the question, we don't use an auxiliary verb (do I does I did). 
Who painted Mrand Mrs Clark and Percy? 
NOT Who did paint...?


The only question words which can be the subject of a question, and may not need an auxiliary verb, are: 
Who?
Who wrote the song? 


Which?
 Which singer sang My Way? 

What?
What happened? 

How many / much?
 How marry students came?

subject                      VERB
Who                         PAINTED  Mr and Mrs Clark and Percy?
Which singer            MADE   reggae popular all over the world?
How many people     LIVE     near the school? 
Who                        WANTS  a cup of coffee?


 In most other questions in the present and past simple we 
use the auxiliary verb do I does I did+ the infinitive. 
What music do you like?
 NOT What music you like? 

-Questions beginning with When?, Why?, Where?, 
How long?, etc. always need an auxiliary.

FUTURE FORMS


Predictions

We use will to talk about something we think that will happen:

  • I think he’ll win the election.
  • He will be a good doctor.

We use be going to to talk about something that is very near to happen or that we see is going to happen (there is present evidence)

  • Don’t drive like a crazy man. We’re going to have an accident!
  • The doctor said I’m going to have a girl.

Decisions

We use will for decisions that we take at the moment of speaking (instant decisions).

  • ‘Oh, we don’t have sugar.’ ‘Don’t worry, I’ll buy some.’

We use be going to for decisions that we have already taken at the moment of speaking (intentions or plans).

  • ‘Why are you undressing?’ ‘Because I’m going to go to the swimming pool.’

Arrangements

We often use the present continuous to talk about future events that have already been planned or decided. When we use the present continuous for arrangements, we must always include when (at 7, this evening, next month, etc.) in the sentence.

  • I’m seeing the dentist at 6.
  • We are getting married next week.
  • I’m flying to New York tomorrow morning.

We can also use be going to for future arrangements.

  • I’m going to play tennis with Elisabeth today. 

Future time clauses (when, as soon as, until, before, after)

Use the present simple to talk about the future in future time clauses with when, as soon as, until, before and after.

  • I’ll retire when I‘ll be 70. 
  • I’ll retire when I‘m 70. 
  • I won’t call you until I will arrive. 
  • I won’t call you until I arrive. 

Other uses of will

Promises and refusals

  • I will help you whenever you need me.   
  • I won’t lend him my car. 

Future facts

  • The president will visit the Vatican next November.

Offers

We use I will in statements or shall I in questions.

  • I’ll carry that bag for you.
  • Shall I organise the meeting?

Suggestions

We use shall we…?

  • Shall we eat out today?

Requests

When we ask someone to do something for us.

  • Will you open the door, please?

May or might as a future form

We use may or might for possible actions in the future (when ‘we are not sure’). Compare:

  • I’ll be late for dinner today. (=I am sure.)
  • I might be late for dinner today. (=It’s possible, but I am not sure.)
  • I’m going to Denmark next September. (=Sure.)
  • I might go to Denmark next September. (=Not sure.)

We use may or might for things that will possibly happen in the future, but we are not too sure. It’s like a prediction about something that we think perhaps will happen.

  • The economy might suffer a global recession next year.
  • Temperatures may go up next week.

We use may or might not for actions or things that will possibly not happen.

  • She looks very tired. She might not come with us.
  • We may not have enough time to finish the report for tomorrow.

Uses of the  INFINITIVE with TO


 The infinitive is the base form of the verb.
 It is often used with to.
 It can be positive (e.g. to be) or negative (e.g. not to be). 

• Use the infinitive with to: 
1.after some verbs, e.g. want, need, would like, etc. .  
Try not to talk about politics. 
 He promised to help me. 
 Don't forget to turn off the lights

We've decided to go to France for our holiday. 
 We hope to see you again soon. 
I'm learning to drive. My test's next month. 

 I need to go to the supermarket. We don't have any milk. 
 He offered to help me with my cv. 
 They're planning to get married soon. a He pretended to be ill, but he wasn't really. 

He's promised to pay me back when he gets a job. 
 Remember to bring your dictionaries to class tomorrow. 
 It was very cloudy and it started to rain. 

 I'm trying to find a job, but it's very hard. 
I want to catch the six o'clock train. 
 I'd like to buy a new car next month

2 after adjectives.
It'll be nice to meet your parents. 
It's important not to be late.
It's difficult to say.
 
3 after question words, e.g. what, where, when, etc. 
I  don"t know where to go or what to do. 

4 to say why you do something. 
I came to this school to learn English. (NOT for learn English). 
A Why did you go to the party? 
B To meet new people. 
I went to the party to meet new people.

* Infinitive without to 
Remember that we use the infinitive without to after auxiliary verbs 
(do I does I didn't) and after most modal verbs (can, could, will, would, etc.), e.g.
 Do you live near here? 
Can you help me?
 I won't forget What would you do?

After the verb say, we need a direct object (the thing that is said): SAY SOMETHING.

Please SAY something nice to her.

She said to me that she was happy.
