HOW MANY / HOW MUCH
How much and How many are interrogative adverbs used to ask the quantity or amount of
something. They are placed at the beginning of a sentence in the same way as other interrogative
adverbs and they do not modify the sentence structure. However, the use of one or another will
depend on the context.
>> “How much?” is used with uncountable nouns (things that cannot be counted), such as rice
or sand, or things that are measured by amounts, for example liquids (milk, water, juice, etc.).
“How much?” is also used when we talk about time concepts (How much time?) or money
(How much money?).
E.g.: How much money do you have?
>> “How many?” is used with countable nouns (things that can be counted), like objects (pens,
paper) and things that can be measured in units and not by amounts. “How many?” is used
when we talk about specific things, such as minutes (How many minutes?) or dollars (How
many dollars?).
E.g.: How many euros do you have?

PAST SIMPLE OF THE VERB “TO BE”
In English, when we talk about the past, we refer to actions that are completed or finished.
>> The verb ‘to be’ in the past tense is created using the form was for the first and third person
singular and for the rest, we use were.
I was / You were / He was / She was / It was / We were / They were
>> The negative is formed by adding the particle not after the verb.
I was not / You were not / He was not / She was not / It was not / We were not / They were not
>> Contracted:
I wasn’t / You weren’t / He wasn’t / She wasn’t / It wasn’t / We weren’t / They weren’t
>> Interrogative: when using the interrogative form, the word order is reversed.
Was I? / Were you? / Was he? / Was she? / Was it? / Were we? / Were they?
✎✎WRITE YES / NO QUESTIONS USING WAS / WERE.

EEEXAMPLE: TAYLOR WAS TIRED YESTERDAY. - WAS TAYLOR TIRED YESTERDAY?
1. They were in a wedding party.
��
2. Sonia was in her house.
��
3. It was cloudy yesterday morning.

PAST SIMPLE INTERROGATIVE FORMS
>> The interrogative form in the past tense is made with ‘did’ and along with the infinitive form
of the main verb. However, just like we have seen so far, with other interrogative forms, we
invert the word order.
DID + SUBJECT + VERB IN INFINITIVE?
E.g.: Did you work?
>> When answering we tend to use the short form to avoid repetition. This short form consists
of answering using the subject followed by the particle in the past, i.e. ‘did’ in affirmative or
negative, as required. This form is more common in colloquial and spoken English.
E.g.: Did you go to the party?
Yes, I did. → No, I didn’t.
✎✎COMPLETE THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS. USE THE PAST TENSE FORM.

1. (you / eat) .......................................... dinner last night?
2. (she / arrive) .......................................... at the hotel?
3. (you / go) .......................................... to the restaurant?
4. (they / visit) .......................................... you last summer?
5. (you / speak) .......................................... to her about your problem?

AMERICAN ENGLISH
PAST SIMPLE
In English we can distinguish between regular and irregular verbs.

>> Regular verbs are easy to recognize because they form the past simple by adding –ed at the
end of a bare infinitive.
E.g.: work + -ed = worked
>> In English, regular verbs in past simple are not inflected or conjugated, i.e. all verb forms for
all pronouns have the same ending. Let´s have a look at the example below.
I worked / You worked / He worked / She worked / It worked / We worked / They
worked
>> If verbs end in ‘y’ preceded by a consonant, “y” becomes ‘i’ and we add ‘-ed’.
E.g.: cry → cried
>> Irregular Verbs. Below we can see listed several irregular verbs in the past tense. We must
remember that this form of the past tense is only used in affirmative; therefore, in negative
and interrogative we use the bare infinitive, i.e. without “to”. In the past tense all the persons
have the same form.
E.g.: I ate / I did not / didn’t eat / Did I eat?
She saw / She did not / didn’t see / Did she see?
✎✎CORRECT THE MISTAKES IN THE FOLLOWING SENTENCES.

1. It rain all day yesterday.

2. Last night, Anthony have pizza for dinner.

3. Dan be the engineer who work in that office.

PRESENT CONTINUOUS
>> Present continuous is formed with the verb ‘to be’ conjugated, followed by the main verb in
the present participle, i.e. with –ing.
Subject + to be + verb + ing
E.g.: I am reading (affirmative)
I am not reading / I’m not reading (negative)
Am I eating? (Interrogative)
>> In cases where a verb ends in an unpronounced –e, first we omit the letter ‘e’ and then we
add the –ing form.
to have → hav- + -ing = having
>> If verbs end in consonant + vowel + consonant, and the vowel is stressed, the last consonant
is doubled before adding the –ing suffix.
to stop → stopp- + -ing = stopping

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PRESENT SIMPLE AND PRESENT CONTINUOUS
There are two ways to talk about the present tense: present simple (I eat) and present continuous
(I am eating). However, there are differences in meaning between these two tenses:
>> The present continuous is used for talking about actions that are happening at the moment
of speaking.
E.g.: I am eating. / She is studying.
>> The present simple is used to talk about things that happen in general or things that are
repeated, i.e. that occur regularly.
E.g.: I eat dinner at six o’clock. / She studies at home.
Do you remember which verbs are ‘stative verbs’? They are verbs: like believe or love that describe
a fixed state. You cannot use them in the continuous form. Make a list of stative verbs and compare
it with your partners.

WORKBOOK
TO BE GOING TO
This tense is used to talk about the future, more specifically to express the intention and the plan
of carrying out an activity. It is formed with the verb ‘to be’ conjugated followed by the gerund of
the verb ‘to go’ plus the infinitive form of the main verb with to.
TO BE + GOING + TO + INFINITIVE
>> The form ‘going to’ never changes and we only have to conjugate the verb ‘to be’ for affirmative,
negative and interrogative sentences.
E.g.: I am going to go home. / She is not going to work. / Are you going to study?
>> When answering, we also use the short form, avoiding, therefore, repetition. This form
consists of answering with the subject followed by the verb ‘to be’ in affirmative or negative,
depending on the context.
E.g.: Are you going to see the film?
Yes, I am. → No, I am not.
✎✎PUT THE VERBS IN BRACKETS INTO THE GAPS USING GOING TO FUTURE.
