Noun or Adjective

Adjectives are used to give us more information about nouns.

A green chair. - Green is an adjective, it gives us more information about the noun, chair.

Adjectives are also used to modify pronouns. For example, It's the green one. Here the
pronoun is 'one'.

We have to be careful when nouns are used in place of adjectives to give us more
information about a noun. Compare these three sentences:

It's a house. - house is a noun.
It's a big house. - big is an adjective.
It's a family house.- family is a noun. This means there are two nouns in this sentence. The
first one gives us more information about the second.


Read through these ten sentences and decide if a noun or adjective is needed:

1) Let's find a ___ place to cross the road.

a) safety
b) safe

2) There are ___ snakes in this village.

SHORT FORM

A. The use of short forms
A short form like it's or don't stands for the full form it is or do not. We leave out one or
more letters and we write an apostrophe (') instead. We use short forms in
conversational English and in informal writing such as a letter to a friend. Short forms are
sometimes called 'contracted forms'.
We cannot use a short form when the word is stressed, in short answer for example.
Have you looked in this drawer? ~ Yes, I have, NOT Yes, I've
But we can use n't in a short answer: No, I haven't.

B. The most common short forms
Some verbs can have short forms when they come after I, you, etc.
VERB SHORT FORMS
am I'm
are you're, we're, they're
is/has he's, she's, it's
have I've, you've, we've, they've
had/would I'd, you'd, he'd, she'd, it'd, we'd, they'd
will I'll, you'll, he'll, she'll, it'll, we'll, they'll
shall I'll, we'll

A short form can also come after a noun.
Vicky's lost her bank card. (Vicky has ...) The card'll be in here. (The card will...)
There are also some short forms with question words and with here, there or that.
who's, what's, where's, when's, how's, who'd, who'll, what'll
here's, there's, that's, there'll, that'll, there'd, that'd
There is a negative short form n't which can come after some verbs.
aren't, isn't, wasn't, weren't, haven't, hasn't, hadn't, don't /daunt/, doesn't, didn't, won't
(- will not), shan't
(= shall not), can't , couldn't, mustn't , needn't, mightn't, shouldn't, wouldn't, daren't
Sometimes we can shorten either not or the verb.
It is not funny. - * It isn't funny. OR It's not funny.
You will not believe it. -> You won't believe it. OR You'll not believe it. But
we cannot use n't after I.
I am not sure. -> I'm not sure, NOT I amn't sure.

C. 's and 'd
's can be is or has, and 'd can be had or would.
She's short, and she's got fair hair. (She is short... she has got...) If
I'd known, I'd have told you. (If I had known, 1 would have ...)

The Cuban Missile Crisis lasted only thirteen days. But those thirteen, terrifying days
make up the worlds closest brush with the threat of nuclear war. There were several
events that unfolded during the Cuban Missile Crisis. First, on October 14, 1962, U.S. spy
planes flying over Cuba spotted Soviet missile installations under construction. The
missiles were intermediate- and medium-range; they could carry nuclear weapons
within the range of U.S. citiesputting the people of New York, Chicago, and Los
Angeles at risk. After considering a surprise air strike, President Kennedy decided to
announce a naval blockade of Cuba. But before he began the naval blockade, Kennedy
made a worldwide radio and TV address on October 22. In the address,
he told the public about the discovery of the missiles and demanded that the Soviet
Union remove them. He said that theUnited States would regard a missile attack from
Cuba the same as an attack from the Soviet Union, and that it would respond
accordingly. The days after the speech were tense. Kennedy didnt know how the Soviet
Union would respond. Finally, after thirteen days, Soviet premier Nikita Khrushchev
Quiz by: Ny. Tjoet

agreed to remove the missiles if the United States promised not to invade Cuba. One
interesting fact is that, unknown to the U.S. government at the time, 40,000 Soviet
soldiers were stationed in Cuba and armed with nuclear weapons. This information has
only come to light recently when U.S. and Soviet files about the incident have
become declassified. An ironic result of the crisis was that even though Khrushchevs
actions helped protect the world from nuclear war, they made him look weak to
younger Soviet leaders. He was removed from power.
8. What is the speakers main point?
a. Thirteen days is not a long time.
b. The Soviet threat during the Cuban Missile Crisis was not real.
c. The Cuban Missile Crisis put the world at risk of nuclear war.
d. The Cuban Missile Crisis was a significant historical event.
9. According to the speaker, President Kennedy
a. knew that Khrushchev would back down.
b. didnt think the situation was very serious.
c. viewed the crisis as a conflict between Cuba and the United States only.
d. believed the crisis was principally between the United States and the Soviet
Union.
10. According to the speaker, at the time of the Cuban Missile Crisis, the U.S.
government
a. was not surprised to find missile installations in Cuba.
b. did not know the full extent of the Soviet threat in Cuba.
c. overestimated the Soviet threat in Cuba.
