8. 2 WORDS ENDING IN -L: DOUBLE THE L WHEN YOU ADD A SUFFIX, E.G. TRAVEL, TRAVELLING

D O U B L E “L” R U L E

Suffix spelling rules: d ouble “l” rule When a word has more than one syllable and ends with the letter "l" you will double the "l" when adding the suffix.

Cancel + ed = cancelled Control + ed = controlled

RULE : 1 When a word ends with a consonant and the suffix begins with a consonant,

Just add the suffix with no spelling changes.RULE : 2

For most words ending in a single consonant you need to double the last letter when you add suffixes.

This is especially true for one syllable words!

British English: Travelling. In British English we spell travelling, with double ‘L’ because words ending in one vowel + ‘L’, to add some suffixes, we double the ‘L’. C

P H R A S A L V E R B

It is an idiomatic phrase consisting of a verb and another element, typically either an adverb, as in break down, or a preposition, for example see to, or a combination of both, such as look down on.Phrasal verbs are phrases that indicate actions. They are generally used in spoken English and informal texts. Examples of such verbs include: turn down, come across and run into. His father is his model.Phrasal verbs are important because they are extremely common in informal English, and unless you are familiar with their meanings, understanding informal language will be difficult. In addition, learning to use phrasal verbs correctly will help you sound natural in casual conversation

8.6 PRESENT PERFECT TENSE (E.G. ‘I HAVE FINISHED.’)

P R E S E N T P E R F E C T T E N S E

The present perfect tense refers to an action or state that either occurred at an indefinite time in the past (e.g., we have talked before) or began in the past and continued to the present time (e.g., he has grown impatient over the last hour). This tense is formed by have/has + the past participle.

Examples of using present perfect in talking about events that happened in the recent past but the effect of the recent event is still felt in the present include: The children have made a mess in the kitchen. He has started a new job. She has finished her chores.

How do we use present perfect tense?The present perfect tense is used to describe something that happened in the past, but the exact time it happened is not important. It has a relationship with the present. I have done my homework = I finished my homework in the past. It is not important at what exact time, only that it is now done

Additional Exercise1. Complete the sentences with the present perfect of the verbs in brackets ( ).

1. Sophie and I (know) each other since we were at school together. 2. I (play) tennis since I was eight years old. 3. Alain (be) in hospital three times this year. 4. I (want) to be an actor for as long as I can remember. 5. My uncle (smoke) 40 cigarettes a day for 40 years – and he's a doctor! 6. You (have) that suit for more than ten years! Isn't it time to get a new one? 7. Since he finished university, my brother (work) in five different countries. 8. Zerrin (watch) that TV programmes every week since it started. 9. I (never like) bananas. I think they're horrible! 10. What's the most interesting city you (ever visit) ?

8.7 USES ADVERBS OF FREQUENCY (E.G. ‘SHE HARDLY EVER VISITS ME.’).

A D V E R B S O F F R E Q U E N C Y

Adverbs of frequency are used to say how often we do things or how often things happen. Here are some common adverbs of frequency (in order from most frequent to least frequent):

Always (do 100% of the time - e.g. She always drinks coffee in the morning.) almost always / nearly always often usually / frequently Sometimes (do approximately 40%-60% of the time - e.g. I sometimes go for a walk

in the evening.) occasionally rarely / seldom hardly ever / almost never Never (do 0% of the time - e.g. He never passes his English test.)

Adverb positionAn adverb of frequency goes before a main verb in a sentence: I often play tennis on Sundays. (subject + adverb + main verb)

However, the exception is when the sentence contains the verb 'to be'. In this case it goes after the verb: I am usually hungry after school. (subject + to be + adverb)

In addition, when there is an auxiliary verb (e.g. have, will, must, might, could, would, can, etc.), the adverb is placed between the auxiliary verb and the main verb. She can almost always beat her brother at chess. (subject + auxiliary + adverb + main

verb)

These adverbs of frequency can also be used at the beginning of a sentence: Usually, normally, often, frequently, sometimes, and occasionally Sometimes, I go shopping on Sundays.(adverb + subject + main verb)
