In order to answer the question «When does, will or did something happen, we need to remember the difference between the Prepositions IN, ON, AT. Look at the following table. If you can, memorise it. IN ON AT EXERCISE 3. Seasons Dates Feast Days Months Parts of the day Very quickly read out the following expressions of time after the phrase «It happened .................................» adding the correct preposition: e.g. Q.

Add one or more time words or phrases at the beginning or end of these sentences. 1. _________________________ school starts ______________________________ 2. ______________________ it seldom snows ______________________________ 3. I was born _________________________________________________________ 4. ____________________ the war ended _________________________________ 5. ___________________ we arrived home ________________________________ 6. ____________________________ it often rains ___________________________ 7. ____________________ the boat will leave ______________________________ 8. ________________________ the baby cries ______________________________ 9. The concert took place _______________________________________________ 10. ________________ the fire began ______________________________________ PLACE. In order to answer the question «Where?» we have to remember the important difference between the preposition TO, INTO, IN and AT. These are not the only prepositions of Place but they are the most easily confused. Here again a table will help. Memorise it if you can. MOTION REST to from Into out of in, (inside) outside At This table shows that before you use a preposition of Place it is necessary to decide whether the sentence contains the idea of movement in a certain direction or not. If it does, then we must use a preposition of Motion: TO The train was still waiting in the station INTO A boy suddenly ran into the room. FROM Can you swim from this island to the shore? OUT OF The angry teacher sent the boy out of the room. If it does not contain this idea of motion in a certain direction, then we must use a preposition of Rest: IN The train was still waiting in the station. INSIDE Nobody knew what was inside the box. OUTSIDE He usually parks his car outside the cinema. AT Let’s meet at the park. _________________________________________________________________________________________________ ΚΕΝΤΡΟ ΞΕΝΩΝ ΓΛΩΣΣΩΝ Π Α Π Α Δ Ο Δ Η ΜΑ ΟΥΙΛΣΩΝΟΣ 4 ΚΑΣΤΕΛΛΑ 185 34 LANDLINE / FAX:2014223164 MOBILE:6937483473 e-mail:[email protected] 5 NOTE: There is an important difference between IN and AT: IN: is used to express the general area within which an action takes place or something is to be found. AT: is used to express the exact spot at which an action takes place or something is to be found. e.g. The plane crashed somewhere in the mountains. They spend the night at the top of the mountain. In the first part of the book there is very little action. All the action comes at the end of the book. NOTE: Some words need special care: HOME after verbs of Rest the preposition is AT. e.g. He spent the day at home. After verbs of Motion no preposition is used. e.g. He hurried home. NOTE: ENTER and REACH do not need a preposition. ARRIVE is followed by either IN for large places or AT for small places. e.g. He soon reached the top. Nobody entered the theatre that morning. We soon arrived at the traffic lights. EXERCISE 6. Ask and answer the following questions as indicated, supplying the preposition where necessary: e.g. Q: Where - Mr. - Hill - fly - last week? Tokyo. A: Where did Mr. Hill fly to last week? He flew to Tokyo last week. (or: Last week he flew to Tokyo) 1. Where - Mr. Hill - stay? the King George Hotel? 2. Where - Mary - jump? the water. 3. Where - Frank - arrive - on the third day? 4. Where - Miranda - travel to? the West Coast of America. 5. Where - Jimmy - climb? the top of the tree. 6. Where - the crash - happen? the cross - roads. 7. Where - Philip - live? 22 Rushton Ave. 8. Where – your sister - go? the theatre. 9. Where - the children - play? the garden. 10. Where - the train - just go? that tunnel. _________________________________________________________________________________________________ ΚΕΝΤΡΟ ΞΕΝΩΝ ΓΛΩΣΣΩΝ Π Α Π Α Δ Ο Δ Η ΜΑ ΟΥΙΛΣΩΝΟΣ 4 ΚΑΣΤΕΛΛΑ 185 34 LANDLINE / FAX:2014223164 MOBILE:6937483473 e-mail:[email protected] 6 EXERCISE 7.

They may be followed by a noun-object. e.g. I saw the flying-saucer. I can smell coffee. Then she felt the needle. We heard her. or a noun or pronoun object with the verb. This verb may be in either the participle or infinitive form: e.g. I saw the flying-saucer land in the field. (Infinitive) I can smell coffee burning. (Participle) Then she felt the needle enter her arm. (Infinitive) We heard her screaming. (Participle) The Infinitive is used when we perceive the action from beginning to end. The action is usually of short duration. The participle is used when only some stage of the action is perceived. The action perceived is usually of prolonged duration. _________________________________________________________________________________________________ ΚΕΝΤΡΟ ΞΕΝΩΝ ΓΛΩΣΣΩΝ Π Α Π Α Δ Ο Δ Η ΜΑ ΟΥΙΛΣΩΝΟΣ 4 ΚΑΣΤΕΛΛΑ 185 34 LANDLINE / FAX:2014223164 MOBILE:6937483473 e-mail:[email protected] 7 EXERCISE 8.

The well-dressed woman-steal/ten dresses (so far/by the time she was arrested/last year) __________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________ INDIRECT SPEECH Students must distinguish between three types of spoken sentence. A. STATEMENTS = “Your brother is coming today” she said. B. QUESTIONS = “Is your brother coming today?” she said. C. COMMAND or REQUEST = “Bring your brother today.” She said. A. STATEMENTS: In changing from Direct to Indirect follow each step carefully: 1. If the introductory verb is SAY, then use SAY. If the introductory verb is SAY TO, then use TELL. Thus, “You’re late today,” she said will begin : She said ……. BUT “You’re late today! she said to him. will begin : She told him……. 2. The spoken words of the Direct Speech are introduced in their Indirect Form by “That” 3. The PRONOUNS of the Direct Speech must be given their correct reference. Thus, “You’re late today,” she said. will become: She said that I (or he, she, they, we) ……. 4. If the introductory verb is in the Past Tense, then all the finite verbs of the Direct Speech will change so as to refer to the past. Thus, “You’re late today,” she said will become: She said that I was late ………… The usual changes of tense are as follows: _________________________________________________________________________________________________ ΚΕΝΤΡΟ ΞΕΝΩΝ ΓΛΩΣΣΩΝ Π Α Π Α Δ Ο Δ Η ΜΑ ΟΥΙΛΣΩΝΟΣ 4 ΚΑΣΤΕΛΛΑ 185 34 LANDLINE / FAX:2014223164 MOBILE:6937483473 e-mail:[email protected] 24 SIMPLE PRESENT I play SIMPLE PAST I played PRESENT PROGRESSIVE I am playing PROGRESSIVE PAST I was playing SIMPLE PAST I played PAST PERFECT I had played PROGRESSIVE PAST I was playing PAST PERFECT PROGRESSIVE I had been playing PRESENT PERFECT SIMPLE I have played PAST PERFECT SIMPLE I had played PRESENT PERFECT PROG/VE I have been playing PAST PERFECT PROGRESSIVE I had been playing FUTURE I will play CONDITIONAL I would play can play ………….. could play must play ………… had to play may play …………. Might play 4. If the introductory verb is past, then certain other words must be made to refer to the past and a remote situation. Thus, Today = That day ………………… tonight = that night tomorrow = the next day or the following day yesterday = the previous day or the day before this = that ………….. these = those here = there ………… next time = the next time last time = the previous time B. QUESTIONS: Here the changes are similar to those in Indirect Statements but more care is necessary. Thus, as in statements: 1. The PRONOUNS change 1. TENSES change if the introductory verb is in the Past Tense. 2. TIME PHRASES and DEMONSTRATIVES (this) change. BUT 3. The introductory SAY becomes ASK 4. The spoken words are introduced by IF or WHETHER if the Direct Question is a simple one or by the interrogative word (when, why, etc.) of the original question and MOST IMPORTANT OF ALL, _________________________________________________________________________________________________ ΚΕΝΤΡΟ ΞΕΝΩΝ ΓΛΩΣΣΩΝ Π Α Π Α Δ Ο Δ Η ΜΑ ΟΥΙΛΣΩΝΟΣ 4 ΚΑΣΤΕΛΛΑ 185 34 LANDLINE / FAX:2014223164 MOBILE:6937483473 e-mail:[email protected] 25 5. The interrogative verb of the Direct Question becomes AFFIRMATIVE in the Indirect Question. Thus, “Is your brother coming today?” she said becomes: She asked (4) if (5) his (1) brother was (6,2) coming that day(3) And “ Why were you late again yesterday? she said becomes: She asked why he had been late again the previous day. C. COMMANDS AND REQUESTS Here again as in Statements and Questions: 1. PRONOUNS change 2. Time phrases and Demonstratives change, but 3. The Introductory SAY becomes TELL, ORDER, INSTRUCT in Commands and ASK or BEG in Requests. N.B. THESE VERBS MUST ALWAYS BE FOLLOWED BY AN INDIRECT OBJECT. IF THERE IS NO OBJECT IN THE ORIGINAL SENTENCE, PROVIDE ONE. 4. The verb of the Direct Command becomes a ‘ “TO” INFINITIVE ’ N.B. 1 The NEGATIVE = NOT TO N.B. 2 This infinitive never changes tense. Thus: “Bring you brother tomorrow”, she said becomes: She told (3) him (3) to bring (4) his (1) brother the next (2) day and : “Please bring your brother tomorrow!” she said becomes: She asked him to bring his brother the next day. and: “Don’t forget your book!” she said. becomes: She told him not to forget his book. N.B. If the Direct Command contains a Subordinate Clause, the finite verb of this Clause must change tense as in Statements. Thus: “Don’t forget to return the book which you borrowed!” said the librarian. becomes: The librarian told the young man not to forget to return the book which he HAD BORROWED. These rules for conversion can be summed up as follows: STATEMENT SAY = SAY THAT QUESTION PRONOUNS CHANGE SAY = ASK IF, WHETHER or QUESTION WORD PRONOUNS CHANGE TENSES CHANGE TENSES CHENGE COMMAND SAY = TELL or ASK ALWAYS NEEDS OBJECT AFFIRM.= TO DO NEG.= NOT TO DO PRONOUNS CHANGE _________________________________________________________________________________________________ ΚΕΝΤΡΟ ΞΕΝΩΝ ΓΛΩΣΣΩΝ Π Α Π Α Δ Ο Δ Η ΜΑ ΟΥΙΛΣΩΝΟΣ 4 ΚΑΣΤΕΛΛΑ 185 34 LANDLINE / FAX:2014223164 MOBILE:6937483473 e-mail:[email protected] 26 AFTER SAID or TOLD OTHER WORDS CHANGE AFTER ASKED VERBS = AFFIRMATIVE OTHER WORDS CHANGE OTHER WORDS SUBORDINATE TENSES CHANGE CHANGE EXERCISE 27. 1. “I can’t hear a word,” the writer said. ___________________________________________________________________ 2. “This is a private conversation,” the young man said to the writer. ___________________________________________________________________ 3. “I have just arrived by train”, said Aunt Lucy. ___________________________________________________________________ 4. “Captain Alison will set out at eight o’clock tomorrow,” he said. ___________________________________________________________________ 5. “I didn’t enjoy the play last night,” my friend said to me. ___________________________________________________________________ 6. “I was still sleeping when my aunt called last Sunday,” I said. ___________________________________________________________________ 7. “What are you doing?” she said to me. ___________________________________________________________________ 8. “Do you always get up so late?” I said to him. ___________________________________________________________________ 9. “Why are these detectives waiting at the airport today?” the old lady said. ___________________________________________________________________ 10. “Why didn’t Bill win the Nicest Garden Competition?” Mary said to me. ___________________________________________________________________ EXERCISE 28.

Thus. PRESENT can Must PAST could Had to FUTURE will be able to Will have to PRESENT PERFECT have been able to have had to PAST PERFECT had been able to Had had to CONDITIONAL would be able to would have to INFINITIVE to be able to to have to Thus in Indirect Speech. “I must go to the dentist’s now,” said John. becomes John said that he had to go to the dentist’s. and “I could not help you yesterday because I had to finish an important job,” said Paul. becomes Paul said that he had not been able to help me the previous day because he had had to finish an important job. A special problem is caused by the ‘hidden future’ of these verbs. In the sentence ‘I must go tomorrow’, ‘must’ = ‘I shall have to’. Therefore in Indirect Speech “I must go tomorrow,” said Susan. becomes Susan said that she would have to go the next day. Similarly in the sentence ‘I can come tomorrow’, ‘I can’ = ‘I shall be able to come’, and in Indirect Speech, “I can come tomorrow,” said Mary. becomes Mary said that she would be able to come the next day. _________________________________________________________________________________________________ ΚΕΝΤΡΟ ΞΕΝΩΝ ΓΛΩΣΣΩΝ Π Α Π Α Δ Ο Δ Η ΜΑ ΟΥΙΛΣΩΝΟΣ 4 ΚΑΣΤΕΛΛΑ 185 34 LANDLINE / FAX:2014223164 MOBILE:6937483473 e-mail:[email protected] 30 EXERCISE 30: 1. “The Mortons couldn’t stay night because they didn’t have a baby-sitter” said Lou. __________________________________________________________________ 2. “Sheila had to leave early this morning because she wasn’t feeling well,” Bill said to James. __________________________________________________________________ 3. “We must get up at six o’clock tomorrow morning if we want to go fishing,” said my father. __________________________________________________________________ 4. “I can’t come with you on Sunday because my father won’t let me.” said Phyllips to Ronald. __________________________________________________________________ 5. “John can do much better when he tries,” said his teacher. __________________________________________________________________ 6. “Where can I reach you tomorrow?” said his secretary. __________________________________________________________________ 7. “Why couldn’t the Browns come last Saturday?” said John. __________________________________________________________________ 8. “Why must I do this exercise again?” said Tim to his teacher. __________________________________________________________________ 9. “What must I do after I have finished the dusting?” said the domestic help to Mum. __________________________________________________________________ 10. “Who had to pay the bill in the end?” said Roger. __________________________________________________________________ I N D I R E C T S P E E C H – MORE PRACTICE EXERCISE 31. 1. “I’m not feeling well, so I think I’ll go to bed early tonight,” said Tom to his wife. __________________________________________________________________ 2. “Take an aspirin, too, if you are so ill,” she said. __________________________________________________________________ 3. “Where did you put them when you had them last week?” he said. __________________________________________________________________ 4. “I put them back in the medicine chest where we always put them,” she said. __________________________________________________________________ 5. “Can you remember if the pocket was full or empty?

We emphasise this difference and similarity by using the Correlative Conjuctions. 1. BOTH ……………………………. AND …………………….. e.g. Last night both Williams and Walker broke the world record. Soon he could both speak and write French well. Everybody finished both the précis and the letter. They spoke English both fluently and correctly. The police found blood both on his hands and on his clothes. He visited his family both at Christmas and at Easter. Two points need special care here. 1. if there are two subjects, the verb must be in the Plural. e.g. Both John and Peter play for the school team. 2. The conjuctions must come directly before the two correlated parts of the sentence which are being emphasized. Any other arrangement is incorrect. e.g. Mary both worked hard at school and at home. WRONG Mary worked hard both at school and at home. RIGHT EXERCISE 36. (See original / Borrowed) EXERCISE 37. Join the following pairs of simple sentences to form correlative sentences. Identify the emphasized parts of the sentence and underline the conjuctions. 1. My brother Paul can play the guitar. He can also play the drums. _________________________________________________________________ 2. Cholera has appeared in Asia. It has appeared in Europe, too. _________________________________________________________________________________________________ ΚΕΝΤΡΟ ΞΕΝΩΝ ΓΛΩΣΣΩΝ Π Α Π Α Δ Ο Δ Η ΜΑ ΟΥΙΛΣΩΝΟΣ 4 ΚΑΣΤΕΛΛΑ 185 34 LANDLINE / FAX:2014223164 MOBILE:6937483473 e-mail:[email protected] 36 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. _________________________________________________________________ My wife and I swim in summer. We also swim in winter. _________________________________________________________________ The thieves took her money. They took her fur coat, too. _________________________________________________________________ Our neighbours make a lot of noise. They also neglect their garden. _________________________________________________________________ Unfortunately Mr. Tibbs is off work today. Miss Hobbs is off work, too. _________________________________________________________________ The new clerk was rude to me. He was rude to the manager, too. _________________________________________________________________ 8. This new tyre lasts longer. It also costs less. _________________________________________________________________ 9. She will inherit a lot of money. She will also inherit a fine house. __________________________________________________________________ 10. That poor old lady is deaf. She is blind, too. __________________________________________________________________ 2. NOT ONLY …………… BUT ALSO ………………………. NOT ONLY …………… BUT ……..…………… AS WELL These conjuctions place much more emphasis on the second of the two correlated ideas. Examples: Nowadays not only the rich but also the poor enjoy many comforts. They not only clapped but asked him to sing again as well. My secretary knows not only shorthand and typing but also four languages. The new machine works not only economically but efficiently as well. EXERCISE 38. Turn back to the exercise on ‘both ……… and’ on the previous page and now join the same pairs of sentences with ‘not only …………….. but (also) (as well). EXERCISE 39. Answer the following questions as indicated: e.g. Question: Did John only go to London? (Paris as well) Answer: No. He went not only to London but to Paris as well. 1. Are you only learning typing? (shorthand as well) __________________________________________________________________ 2. Did the thief take your briefcase? (camera as well) __________________________________________________________________ 3. Does she only look after the children? (help with the housework as well) __________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________________________ ΚΕΝΤΡΟ ΞΕΝΩΝ ΓΛΩΣΣΩΝ Π Α Π Α Δ Ο Δ Η ΜΑ ΟΥΙΛΣΩΝΟΣ 4 ΚΑΣΤΕΛΛΑ 185 34 LANDLINE / FAX:2014223164 MOBILE:6937483473 e-mail:[email protected] 37 4. Have you done only the washing (the ironing as well) __________________________________________________________________ 5. Must a teacher speak only slowly? (also clearly) __________________________________________________________________ 6. Did the police arrest only Smith? (Williams as well) __________________________________________________________________ 7. Did Brown only win an Olympic medal? (break record as well) __________________________________________________________________ 8. Can Fiona only play the piano? (also sing beautifully) __________________________________________________________________ 9. Will the gardener only cut the grass? (also water the flowers) __________________________________________________________________ 10. Did only Tom fail the exam? (five other pupils as well) __________________________________________________________________ 11. Did the astronauts only circle the moon? (also land on it) __________________________________________________________________ 3. NEITHER ………………….. NOR …………. This pair of correlative conjuctions is the negative form of ‘both …………… and’. It is used to deny or exclude two related ideas. Examples: Neither Paul nor Pat came to the party. She likes neither tea nor coffee. My little brother can neither read nor write. The teams played neither with skill nor with enthusiam. We could reach him neither at his home nor at his office. Because of the weather we had games neither on Monday nor on Tuesday. As with ‘both …………… and’ the conjuctions must come directly before the correlated words or phrases. If the subjects are correlated, however, the verb will agree with the nearest subject. e. g. Neither my father nor my mother smokes. Neither the letters nor the parcel has arrived yet. A very common mistake is to double the negative, that is to use a negative verb as well as the negative conjuction. e. g. They didn’t go neither to the cinema nor to the theatre. (WRONG) In English one negative cancels the other and the sentence becomes affirmative. There are two correct forms. e. g. They went neither to the cinema nor to the theatre. or They didn’t go either to the cinema or to the theatre. _________________________________________________________________________________________________ ΚΕΝΤΡΟ ΞΕΝΩΝ ΓΛΩΣΣΩΝ Π Α Π Α Δ Ο Δ Η ΜΑ ΟΥΙΛΣΩΝΟΣ 4 ΚΑΣΤΕΛΛΑ 185 34 LANDLINE / FAX:2014223164 MOBILE:6937483473 e-mail:[email protected] 38 EXERCISE 40.

Does your father or your mother know about this? __________________________________________________________________ RELATIVE CLAUSES Consider the following pairs of sentences: A The girl is from America. She is acting in this film. B Cindy Crawford is from America She is acting in this film. In both cases A and B the second sentence can be made part of the first i.e. as a Relative Clause. BUT they will be different Types of Relative Clause. DEFINING RELATIVE CLAUSES TYPE A. The girl who is acting in this film is from America. Here the Relative Clause is necessary to identify the girl, i.e. to say which girl we mean. It is therefore called a DEFINING CLAUSE. NON-DEFINING CLAUSE TYPE B. Cindy Crawford, who is acting in this film, is from America. Here the girl has already been identified, so the Relative Clause is not necessary to identify him. It merely adds some more information. _________________________________________________________________________________________________ ΚΕΝΤΡΟ ΞΕΝΩΝ ΓΛΩΣΣΩΝ Π Α Π Α Δ Ο Δ Η ΜΑ ΟΥΙΛΣΩΝΟΣ 4 ΚΑΣΤΕΛΛΑ 185 34 LANDLINE / FAX:2014223164 MOBILE:6937483473 e-mail:[email protected] 40 It is not necessary but parenthetical. It is therefore called a NON-DEFINING CLAUSE. This difference is very important because in (A) defining clauses: 1. We NEVER use COMMAS. 2. We may use THAT for PERSONS and THINGS. 3. We may OMIT THAT if it is an object. Thus: The girl who is acting in this film is from America. may also be written: The girl that is acting in this film is from America. N. B. ‘That’ cannot be omitted here because it is subject of the verb. The man whom we saw tonight is from Crete. may also be written The man we saw tonight is from Crete. (‘that’ = object) The man we saw tonight is from Crete. N.B. If the antecedent (the word limited by the relative Clause) is the object of a preposition, then the preposition comes before ‘whom’, ‘which’, BUT keeps its original position both after ‘that’ and when ‘that’ is omitted. Thus: The man to whom I introduced you is from Crete But, The man that I introduced you to is from Crete. The man I introduced you to is from Crete. N.B. ‘whose’ cannot be replaced by ‘that’ and cannot be omitted. B. NON-DEFINING RELATIVE CLAUSES 1. We must always have COMMAS. 2. We can NEVER use THAT. 3. We can NEVER omit THAT. Consequently, if the clause is NON-DEFINING there is only one correct form. So remember: v WHO+ WHOM are used for PERSONS in DEFINING and NON-DEFINING CLAUSES v WHICH is used for THINGS in DEFINING and NON-DEFINING CLAUSES. v THAT is used for PERSONS and THINGS only in DEFINING CLAUSES EXERCISE 42.

IMAGINARY or UNTRUE In these the speaker supposes circumstances which do not, did not exist or are unlikely to exist. _________________________________________________________________________________________________ ΚΕΝΤΡΟ ΞΕΝΩΝ ΓΛΩΣΣΩΝ Π Α Π Α Δ Ο Δ Η ΜΑ ΟΥΙΛΣΩΝΟΣ 4 ΚΑΣΤΕΛΛΑ 185 34 LANDLINE / FAX:2014223164 MOBILE:6937483473 e-mail:[email protected] 43 PRESENT If Tom were here, he would help.

Thus the Gerund of ‘swim’ is ‘swimming’. The main points to be remembered about Gerunds are the following. 1. The Gerund is a verbal noun, i.e. it is both verb and noun. As a noun it may be subject or object of another verb As a verb it may have its own object. _________________________________________________________________________________________________ ΚΕΝΤΡΟ ΞΕΝΩΝ ΓΛΩΣΣΩΝ Π Α Π Α Δ Ο Δ Η ΜΑ ΟΥΙΛΣΩΝΟΣ 4 ΚΑΣΤΕΛΛΑ 185 34 LANDLINE / FAX:2014223164 MOBILE:6937483473 e-mail:[email protected] 45 e.g. Swimming is a very healthy sport. I love swimming. Catching butterflies is cruel. EXERCISE 48. Replace the Infinitive with a Gerund. 1. To watch children growing is a rewarding experience. __________________________________________________________________ 2. To water-ski is not so easy as it looks. __________________________________________________________________ 3. Anything is better than to sit here doing nothing. __________________________________________________________________ 4. To park your car on either side of a pedestrian crossing is forbidden. __________________________________________________________________ 5. My favourite pastime is to collect train numbers. __________________________________________________________________ 6. Which is better, to try and fail or not to try at all? __________________________________________________________________ 7. Some people believe that to give your life for another is the noblest of all actions. __________________________________________________________________ 8. Others believe that there is nothing worse than to betray one’s friends. __________________________________________________________________ 9. Oh! Isn’t it wonderful to sail along like this? __________________________________________________________________ 10. To come home from school to an empty house is very bad for young children. __________________________________________________________________ 2. After verbs of ‘liking’ and ‘disliking’ the Gerund is used to indicate general preference whereas the infinitive is used to indicate preference on a particular occasion. e.g. I love watching T.V. but tonight I’d like to read my new book. EXECRISE 49. Choose the correct form of the verb, Gerund or Infinitive. 1. I generally prefer (ski) to (skate) but today I’d like (skate) for a change. __________________________________________________________________ 2. Which would you prefer (do) this morning, children? (Go) to the sea or (visit) the Science Museum? __________________________________________________________________ 3. Some young children hate (be) helped while others hate (do) anything themselves. __________________________________________________________________ 4. Oh, surely it’s not raining? It’s the children’s picnic today. I’d hate (disappoint) them. ____________________________________________________________ 5. Yes, I do like (play) chess but just now I’d like (do) something more active. __________________________________________________________________ 6. Catherine detests (visit) relatives so she prefers (stay) at home whenever her parents do so. __________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________________________ ΚΕΝΤΡΟ ΞΕΝΩΝ ΓΛΩΣΣΩΝ Π Α Π Α Δ Ο Δ Η ΜΑ ΟΥΙΛΣΩΝΟΣ 4 ΚΑΣΤΕΛΛΑ 185 34 LANDLINE / FAX:2014223164 MOBILE:6937483473 e-mail:[email protected] 46 7.

Nobody likes (play) tennis more than I do but it’s much too hot today. I’d prefer to go the beach. __________________________________________________________________ 3. Certain verbs and adjectives which are always used with a particular preposition are always followed by the Gerund. e.g. I am very fond of cycling. I am looking forward to seeing you soon. The student must make a point of learning these verbs and adjectives as he meets them, but here are some of the most common: To think of To apologise for To believe in To dream of To be keen on To be afraid of To look forward to To be capable of To be accustomed to To accuse of To prevent from To suspect of To be used to To be tired of To insist on To congratulate on EXERCISE 50. Supply the missing prepositions. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. John apologized ________________ standing on the fat lady’s toe.

If this subject is different from the subject of the preceding verb, then it must be supplied as in the examples below: I apologise for disturbing you. (Same subject) I apologise for my son (my son’s) disturbing you. (Different subject) I can remember opening the door but I can’t recall closing it. I can remember you (your) opening the door but I can’t recall you (your) closing it. EXERCISE 52.
