UNIT 4- CARS AND DRIVING

  

GRAMMAR 1:

THE PAST CONTINUOS

VOCABULARY: 

• Bad driving habits
• Car parts
• Ways to respond (with concern / relief)

• 
  Phrasal verbs for talking about cars.
• Car types
• Driving behavior

How can we make the past continuous? Firstly, check that you know how to make the past simple with 'be' (subject + was / were). Then just add verb-ing.

Here's the positive form: Was/ were

• I was sleeping
• You were working

Next, here's the negative - it's very easy, just add 'not': wasn't/ weren't

• I was not (wasn't) sleeping
• you were not (weren't) working

And, just like the past simple with 'be', to make a 'yes / no' question, put 'was / were' in front of the subject:

• Was I listening?
• Were you working?

To make a 'wh' question (of course) put the question word at the beginning: 

• Why was I working?
• Where were you living?

EXERCISE

1. (I / go to school when you saw me)
2. (you / sleep at 6am)
3. (she / work when I called)
4. (we / not / leave when you called)
5. (I / not / stay in a hotel)

ANSWERS

1. I was going to school when you saw me.
2. You were sleeping at 6am.
3. She was working when I called.
4. We weren't leaving when you called.
5. I wasn't staying in a hotel.

GRAMMAR 2

PLACEMENT OF DIRECT OBJECTS WITH PHRASAL VERBS

The placement of direct objects with phrasal verbs can be a bit tricky, but there are a few general rules to follow.

• Separable phrasal verbs: With separable phrasal verbs, the direct object can come before or after the particle. For example:

  • I'll drop off the car. OR I'll drop the car off.

• Inseparable phrasal verbs: With inseparable phrasal verbs, the direct object must always come after the particle. For example:

  • I'll come up with a great idea.

• Pronoun objects: When the direct object is a pronoun, it must always come before the particle, even with separable phrasal verbs. For example:

  • I'll fill them up.

Examples:

• Separable phrasal verb with a noun object:
  • I'll drop off the car at the airport.
  • I'll pick up the kids from school.
  • I'll fill up the gas tank on my way home.
• Separable phrasal verb with a pronoun object:
  • I'll drop it off at the airport.
  • I'll pick them up from school.
  • I'll fill them up on my way home.
• Inseparable phrasal verb with a noun object:
  • I'll come up with a great idea for our project.
  • I'll look into the problem and see if I can fix it.
  • I'll run into my friend at the store.
• Inseparable phrasal verb with a pronoun object:
• I'll come up with it.
• I'll look into it.
• I'll run into him at the store.
