Course Lessons
Lesson 1: Present Perfect
This lesson is intended to give you additional practice on discerning between proper uses of the present perfect and simple past.Lesson 2: Wish...
One grammatical structure for wish is similar to Conditional 2. It is also similar in meaning, for it expresses something untrue and unreal.Lesson 3: Be Supposed To
The phrase be supposed to expresses an expectation. This expectation may be met or unmet.Lesson 4: Past modals
To put a modal in the past tense requires more than merely adding –ed, as with other verbs.Lesson 5: Have/Get Something Done
This lesson continues our previous discussion of the passive voice.Lesson 6: Unless
Rather than using both if and not, unless allows for the same idea in a different construction.Lesson 7: Reflexives
English uses reflexive verbs when the same thing is both the subject and the object of the sentence.Lesson 8: See Somebody Do and See Somebody Doing
This lesson expands on that idea by discussing gerund versus simple verb uses following [verb + object].Lesson 9: Future Perfect
Future perfect indicates a relationship between two events, at least one of which is in the future.Lesson 10: Future Perfect Progressive
The future perfect progressive expresses a focus on action occurring in a relationship between two events, at least one of which is in the future.Lesson 11: Subjunctive
The subjunctive is a mood in English that requires a certain verb form. Certain verbs and adjectives require the subjunctive.Lesson 12: Prefer / Would Rather
The main difference between the structures is that prefer is followed by an infinitive, and would rather is followed by a simple verb form.Lesson 13: Omitting Relative Pronouns
When be is the verb used in some relative clauses, the relative pronoun can be omitted.Lesson 14: Relative Clause Reduction: Omitting Relative Pronouns and be verbs
In certain situations where a relative pronoun is followed by a be verb, the relative clause can be reduced to omit both the relative pronoun and the be verb.Lesson 15: Noun Clauses
A noun clause can serve as the subject of the sentence, the object of the sentence, or the object of a preposition.Lesson 16: Appositives
An appositive is a noun or noun phrase that gives additional information about another noun.Lesson 17: Combining Auxiliaries and Modals
When we combine tenses and progressives with modals, we get quite a long string of grammatically necessary elements.Lesson 18: Writing: 5-Paragraph Essay (Process)
Before you can write, you have to figure out what you want to say. There are several strategies you can employ to find some thoughts to present in an essay.Lesson 19: Writing: 5-paragraph Essay (Components)
Your thesis statement is the final sentence in the introduction. This is critical. It cannot go at the beginning of the introduction, or in the middle of the introduction, or in the next paragraph.
