Jim: English for Conversation.
I am a student and I study at Maejo
University in Chiang Mai. I’m a
freshman majoring in English. I
have taken many courses at the
university. My favorite subject is
English. I’m also interested in
Communication Arts. I can speak,
Thai, Japanese and Chinese. After
graduating, I want to be a tour
guide. I think it’s an interesting
and well paid job.
Track 79
Language focus
1. Tenses: Present Simple, Present Continuous and Present Perfect.
Let’s take a look at the chart below showing the differences between Present
Simple, Present Continuous and Present Perfect.
Present Simple
Present Continuous
We use the Present Simple for things
that are true at any time. We use it for
general truth, or a fact:
Things fall to the ground because of
gravity.
Ann doesn’t play the violin very well,
but she plays the piano beautifully.
We use the Present Continuous to
say that an action is in progress
now, at the time we speak:
Look! The leaves are falling from
the trees. Listen! Ann’s playing the
piano; she’s playing something by
Beethoven.
We use the Present Simple when we talk
about a permanent situation, or an activity
that is repeated again and again. We think
that it will continue for an unlimited time:
What does Fred do? – Fred’s a journalist;
he writes for a geographical magazine.
I work for a company that makes
computers. We sell them all over the world.
Mary usually studies in the library.
I stay with friends when I go on business
trips to Japan.
We use the Present Simple with words like
always, usually, often etc. when we talk about
how often we do something:
Mary sometimes studies at home, but she
usually works in the library.
We use the Present Continuous to
describe a current activity or
situation that is unusual or temporary. We know it will continue for
a limited period of time from
now:
Fred is writing four articles about
Africa. He did two yesterday. He’ll
do the rest tomorrow.
I don’t usually work at the
weekends, but I’m working on
Saturdays at the moment.
Mary’s studying at home. The
library is shut.
Sue and Martin are staying in a
friend’s flat until they find a flat
of their own.
We can use the Present Continuous
with always to say that something
happens too often:
Tom is always asking stupid
questions.
They’re always complaining.
Present Perfect
1. We make the Present Perfect with have
or has and a past participle (e.g. walked,
taken):
I/you/we/they
He/she/it
4.
have/’ve started.
has/’s started.
We make negatives, questions, and short
Answers with have or has:
You haven’t started.
Diana hasn’t started.
Have you started? – Yes, I have.
Has Diana started? – No, she hasn’t.
2. With regular verbs, we add –ed to form
the past participle (e.g. walked, started).
But there are many verbs with irregular
Past participles (e.g. taken, chosen, sold,
slept).
3. We use the Present Perfect to talk about
events in past time, but not about when
they happened:
Somebody has taken my bag.
(Not” Somebody has taken it yesterday”.)
I have read her latest novel.
We use the Present Perfect in this way
when the past event is relevant now:
Somebody has taken my bag. I can’t
find it.
I’ve been to the dentist. My tooth
doesn’t hurt now.
5.
We use the Present Perfect
to talk about situations or
actions during a period
that started in the past, and
has continued up to the
present (e.g. today, this
month, this year, for
three weeks, since last
year):
We’ve lived here for six
years.
(=from six years ago until
now)
I’ve worked at CGE since
1992.
(= from 1992 until now)
Jane has phoned me three
times this week.
We haven’t saved much
money this year.
Have you seen Neil
(today)?
We can use Present Perfect
with ever, never, already,
and yet, like this:
Have you ever been inside
a submarine?
I’ve never eaten horse
meat.
Chris has already sent her
a present.
They haven’t finished their
game yet.
Note that we put ever,
never and already before
the past participle, and yet
at the end of the sentence.
(Source: Coe, Norman. Grammar Spectrum 3 Oxford: Oxford University Press,
1995.p. 10, 20).
2. Relative Clause
Relative clauses are dependent clauses that begin with words such as who, that and
which that refer to people or things preceding them. They are also called adjective
clauses because they act like adjectives. That is, they modify nouns.
Study this example:
The man who sits in front of me is very friendly.

Relative clause
A clause is a part of a sentence. A relative clause tells us which person or thing ( or
what kind of person or thing) the speaker means:
The man who sits in front of me… (who sits in front of me tells us which man).
-When we are talking about people, we use who in a relative clause instead of he, she,
they, and you.
The man – he sits in front of me – is very friendly.
The man who sits in front of me is very friendly.
-When we are talking about people, we use that (not who) in a relative clause.
We use that instead of it and they, them.
The dogs – they are beaten – are mine.
The dogs that are beaten are mine.
-We can also use which for things (not for people).
The dogs – they are beaten – are mine.
The dogs which are beaten are mine.
3. Participles in Reduced Relative Clauses.
Relative clauses may be reduced to participial phrases if the pronoun functions as the
subject of the clause. Use the present participial phrase(Ving) when the original
relative clause is in the active form and use the past participial phrase (V3) when the
original relative clause is in the passive form.
Active (Ving)
Passive (V3)
1. Anyone who looks for a beautiful
and peaceful place should visit
Tao island.
1. Products which are made
from snake skin are not
available for sale
anymore.
Anyone looking for a beautiful and
peaceful place should visit Tao island.
Products made from
snake skin are not
available for sale
anymore.
2. Tom is a student who majors in English.
Tom is a student majoring in English.
2. There are many majors
available for students
who are interested in
studying at Maejo
University Chiangmai.
There are many majors
available for students
interested in studying
at Maejo University
Chiangmai.
3. Participles in Reduced Adverbial Clauses.
Some adverbial clauses (mostly adverbial clauses of time and reason) can be reduced
to participial phrases if the subjects of both clauses are the same. Use the present
participle phrase (Ving) if the original adverb clause is in the active form and use
the past participle phrase (V3) if the original adverbial clause is in the passive form.
Active (Ving)
1. When the firemen arrived at the
scene, they immediately extended
the ladder to the third floor.
Arriving at the scene, they immediately
extended the ladder to the third floor.
2. While I was lying on the lawn, I saw
a strange object in the sky.
Lying on the lawn, I saw a strange
object in the sky.
Passive (V3)
1. Because she was shocked by
the news, she suddenly
fainted.
Shocked by the news, she
suddenly fainted.
2. When the girl was left alone
in the room, she began to
think of her mother.
Left alone in the room, she
began to think of her mother.
Besides, the connectors when, while, after and before can also be retained in
participial phrases.
-When arriving at the scene, the firemen immediately extended the ladder to the third
floor.
-After graduating, I became a doctor.
-We stayed at the hotel for three days before returning to our house.

to participial phrases (with or without connectors). Find out where
they are and rewrite them into participial phrases.
Track 80
One summer evening while I was sitting by the open window, I heard a loud cry of
“Help! Help!”. It seemed to come from the tree at the end of the garden. When I
looked out, I saw nothing clearly because it was too dark. Almost immediately, I
heard the cry again. I could not imagine how anybody could need help in our garden;
however, I decided to have a look. Before I went into the garden, I took the torch and
picked up a long walking stick, thinking that it might come in handy. When I was
armed with these, I went into the garden. Once again I heard the cry. “Who’s there?”,
I called out while I walked, rather nervously, down the path. But there was no answer.
After I examined the whole garden, I saw no sign of anybody so I went back to the
house, still feeling rather puzzled.

3. Subject-Verb Agreement.
Choosing the correct form of the verb to be used in the sentence requires first whether
a subject is singular or plural. If it is the third-person singular (he, she, it, Proper
Noun). The verb used needs to be put –s or –es at the final end. On the other hand,
you should use the base form of the verb for all persons (I, you, we, they). The
examples are as follows:
I
You
We
They
work
for Siemens
He
She
It
Proper Noun
(i.e. John, Mary)

Activity 3 Read this article about a jet pilot. Then complete the conversation.
Yvonne Sintes: First woman Ministry of Aviation air controller and first woman
airline jet captain; 48, married. Yvonne has been a pilot for Dan Air for nearly 10
years; they were the first commercial company to train woman for the job and now
employ four woman pilots. She wanted to fly since the age of eight, but had to be
content with being a stewardess in her first job since no airline company would train a
woman to fly. “It was understandable: it was just after the war and men thought that
the women were competing with them and only in it for the glamour. Once they
realized as a widow I had to earn a living it was different.” She thinks that now it is
almost essential for woman, including married woman, to work if they want a decent
house and feels that good nursery school provision would help.
Reporter:
How long have you been a captain?
Yvonne:
For ten years now.
Reporter:
And which __________________?
Yvonne:
Dan Air.
Reporter:
Are ________________________?
Yvonne:
Not now. At first I was. But now there are
four of us.
Reporter:
When ______________________?
Yvonne:
Ah, forty years ago, when I was eight!
Reporter:
And what ___________________?
Yvonne:
A stewardess. At that time, no airline would train a
woman to fly.
Reporter:
Why _______________________?
Yvonne:
Well, it was just after the war. Men thought that woman
were competing with them, and that they only wanted the
job for the glamour.
Reporter:
______ did the airline you work for change its mind?
Yvonne:
When they realized that I was a widow. I had to earn a living.

Track 89
Seumas McSporran is a very busy man. He is 60 years old and he has thirteen
jobs. He is a postman, a policeman, a fireman, a taxi driver, a school-bus driver, a
boatman, an ambulance man, an accountant, a petrol attendant, a barman, and an
undertaker. Also, he and his wife, Margaret, have a shop and a small hotel.
Seumas lives and works on the island of Gigha
in the west of Scotland. Only 120 people live on
Gigha but in summer 150 tourists come by boat
every day.
Every weekday Seumas gets up at 6.00 and
makes breakfast for the hotel guests. At 8.00 he
drives the island’s children to school. At 9.00 he
collects the post from the boat and delivers it to all
the houses on the island. He also delivers the beer to
the island’s only pub. Then he helps Margaret in the
shop.
He say’s: “ Margaret likes being busy, too.
We never have holidays and we don’t like
watching television. In the evenings Margaret makes supper and I do the
accounts. At 10.00 we have a glass of wine and then we go to bed. Perhaps our
life isn’t very exciting, but we like it.”
