Gender of Nouns
Grammatical gender is a system of noun classification. A common gender classification includes masculine and feminine categories. Masculine nouns are words for men, boys and male animals. Feminine nouns are words for women, girls and female animals.
A relative pronoun is a pronoun that introduces a relative clause. It is called a "relative" pronoun because it "relates" to the word that its relative clause modifies.
Relative Pronouns (Usage) We use the relative pronouns to link a piece of information to a person or a thing. I bought a new car. It is very fast.
I bought a new car that is very fast.
She lives in New York. She likes living in New York.
She lives in New York, which she likes.
Relative Pronouns
a. Who Use who to refer to people.
The people who live on the island are very friendly. My sister, who I live with, knows a lot about cars.
b. Which Use which to refer to things or ideas.
I live in London, which has some fantastic parks. I really love the new Chinese restaurant, which we went to last night.
c. That Use that to refer to people, things and ideas.
I visited the city (that / which) John comes from. My sister met a girl (who / that) I used to work with.
A compound sentence contains two independent clauses joined by a coordinating conjunction (and, but, for, nor, or, so, yet).
For example:
Scott was playing soccor, and Lily was watching TV.
Headings and Subheadings
Headings are titles in a passage. Each one is at the beginning of a major section in the passage. It tells the topic of the section.
Subheadings are titles of paragraphs with details about the topic of a major section of a passage.
Remember: Headings and subheadings give you clues about a passage. Skim a passage and look at the headings. Now you will have a good idea about the topic you will be reading.
Second Conditional
The second conditional is like the first conditional. We are still thinking about the future. We are thinking about a particular condition in the future, and the result of this condition. But there is not a real possibility that this condition will happen. For example, you do not have a lottery ticket. Is it possible to win? No! If you do not buy a ticket, you will not win whatsoever. But maybe you will buy a lottery ticket in the future. So you can think about winning in the future, like a dream. It's not real, but it's still possible.
Sometimes, we use should, could or might instead of would, for example: If I won a million dollars, I could stop working.
IF condition result
Past Simple would + base verb If I won the lottery I would buy a car. If it snowed next July would you be surprised? If it snowed next July what would you do?

The Present Perfect (Usage) We use the Present Perfect to talk about the past and the present together. = we want a finished action with a result in the present (focus on the result).
Example No. (1): Ive lost my keys.
Example No. (2): She's hurt her leg. (so I cant get into my house) (so she can't play tennis today)
How to form a sentence ( Using the Present Perfect Simple) Passive voice The key has been lost. Sub. + has + been + Past Participle
Subject + Verb (have) + been + Past Participle
Plural + + been + Past Participle Singular + Affirmative have has
(Active Voice)
Sarah has lost the key.
(Passive Voice)
The key has been lost by Sarah.
Modal Verbs
Modals are different from normal verbs:
1: They don't use an 's' for the third person singular.
2: They make questions by inversion ('she can go' becomes 'can she go?').
3: They are followed directly by the infinitive of another verb (without 'to').
*It is not a modal verb, but it is used in the same way.
