987,513,012 = nine hundred and eighty-

seven million, five hundred and thirteen
thousand and twelve.

CORRECT USE OF ZERO (0)

0 in telephone numbers Oh
0 in U.S.A and in Zero
scientific numbers and
temperature
0 in arithmetic Nought

Use

1. Numbers are adjectives, which do not change form in English.

2. We use a comma (,) and not a full stop (.) to show the thousands. When we write a number in words, we
put a comma after thousand when the next words are numbers of more than ninety-nine.
Example: 36, 294 = thirty-six thousand, two hundred and ninety-four.
3. We use the singular of the words hundred, thousand and million when we say a number. BUT: WE use
the plural when we do not say exactly how many we mean.
Example: five hundred people work there.
She spent two thousand pounds.
4. Remember these words we use to talk about numbers: once-twice-three times- a couple- a pair.
Example: twelve of something is a dozen.

5. In telephone numbers we usually say the number one at a time.

Example: 5013339= five – oh –one – three- double - three – nine.
6. In ordinal numbers take –th, except for first, second and third.

7. ADVERBS OF FREQUENCY

Skill: The student recognizes the adverbs than indicate the rhythm out an action (always, never,
often, eleven today).

Grammar focus We use some adverbs to describe how frequently we do an

activity.

These are called adverbs of frequency and include:

Frequency Adverb of Frequency Example Sentence

100% always I always eat before 11pm

90% usually I usually have fruit for breakfast..

80% normally / generally I normally go to the kitchen in the morning.

70% often / frequently I often cook cesar salad

50% sometimes I sometimes buy cake in my wife's birthday.

30% occasionally I occasionally eat junk food.

10% seldom I seldom eat meat.

5% hardly ever / rarely I hardly ever drink alcohol.

0% never I never eat sea food.

The Position of the Adverb in a Sentence

An adverb of frequency goes before a main verb (except with To Be).

An adverb of frequency goes after the verb To Be.

Subject + adverb + main verb

I always remember to do my homework.

He normally gets good marks in exams.

70
 ENGLISH I

Subject + to be + adverb Subject + auxiliary + adverb + main verb

They are never pleased to see me. She can sometimes beat me in a race.

She isn't usually bad tempered. I would hardly ever be unkind to someone.

They might never see each other again.

They could occasionally be heard laughing.

When we use an auxiliary verb (have, will, must, might, could, would, can, etc.), the adverb is placed between the
auxiliary and the main verb.

 We can also use the following adverbs at the start of a sentence:

 Usually, normally, often, frequently, sometimes, occasionally
 Occasionally, I like to play soccer with my friends.
 BUT we cannot use the following at the beginning of a sentence:
 Always, seldom, rarely, hardly, ever, never.

EXERCISES

Incorporate the adverb of frequency among parenthesis. In some cases you will have to make some changes in
the initial sentence.

1. Ron and Harry play quidditch in the evenings (usually)

2. Cristiano Ronaldo has a cup of milk in the morning. (always)

3. Where do you buy your red shoes? (usually)

71
 ENGLISH I

4. We don't travel to Durango. (often)

5. Do you work in the morning? (usually)

86
 ENGLISH I

Grammar focus
Present progressive tense is used to express that an activity is going on at the moment of speaking.
A verb, to form a progressive tense, has always the ending –ing. In most cases, it is enough to place –ing at the end
of the verb. Sometimes it´s necessary to do other changes to the verb. It’s easy to spell words ending in –ing
correctly — there are just 4 rules!

1.1. Verbs add - ing

+ ing
For most verbs, just add –ing to the base form of the
verb.

sleep – sleeping talk – talking

– e + ing

If the base form ends in a single -e, drop the -e and add –ing.

live – living write – writing

iey + ing

If the base form ends in –ie, change the –ie to –y and add –ing.

die – dying tie – tying

x2 + ing
If the last 3 letters of the base form are consonant-vowel-
consonant and the stress is on the final (or only) syllable, double the
final consonant and add –ing.

split – splitting stop – stopping

admit – admitting begin – beginning

(Compare stress not on final syllable: listen – listening)

Do not double the final consonants -x, -w, or –y.

fix – fixing plow – plowing

obey – obeying

HOW TO FORM THE PRESENT PROGRESSIVE TENSE

We use the progressive tense or present continuous to talk about things that are happening now, at the
moment. We have to use to be verb and add the ending ing to the next verb to form it.

AFFIRMATIVE: noun+ to be verb+ verb with ing + complement

They're talking now.

He's working at the moment.

* WE SHOULD KNOWTHE FORMS OF THE VERB 'TO BE' LIKE CONTRACTIONS.

NEGATIVE: noun+ to be verb+ not + verb with ing + complement

 They aren't talking now.

 He isn't working at the moment.

*COMPLETE (AM NOT, IS NOT, ARE NOT) ORCONTRACTION ('M NOT, ISN'T, AREN'T)

INTERROGATIVE: to be verb+ noun+ verb with ing + complement

Are they talking now?

 Is he working at the moment?

*SHORT ANSWERS: we should use the correct form of the verb 'to be'.

 Is she crying in this moment?

 Yes, she is / No, she isn't

1.3. DYNAMIC AND STATIVE VERBS

OPENNING

1.- Put the verbs in the table according to what they represent an activity or state

Need run speak like understand go talk wish believe promise

Activity State

Grammar focus

First, we will explain the difference between them.

"Dynamic" is an adjective that means something is moving or changing. These verbs describe an action
instead of a state; are also called "action verbs". Some of them are: eat, walk, learn, talk, run, write,
sleep and go. All the dynamic verbs can be used in the progressive form.

Example: "Raul is chasing the bus."

"Stative" is an adjective that describes something as having a state or existing. These verbs describe a
state instead of an action; are also called "state verbs". Some examples of these verbs are: know, love,
like, hate, prefer and understand. Stative verbs are not use in progressive form, but when using them it
is understood that the action is occurring at the moment

Example: “Mario wants some ice-cream. "

Some verbs that can be dynamic or stative depending on their meaning and the context of the sentence,
for example the verbs think, have and smell

Example: "I think it's wrong to drink beer."

In this sentence, think is a static verb, because is “an opinion" and can´t be used in a progressive in this
situation …. But
"I'm thinking about buying a beer."
In this sentence, thinking is “describing a process or an action”. So here we use the progressive form.

2. PRESENT SIMPLE TENSE VS PRESENT PROGRESSIVE TENSE

GRAMMAR FOCUS

We use the Present Simple:

1) to make the reference to situations that frequently repeated:
Adverb of frequency (never, hardly ever, sometimes, often, usually, always, on (Mondays), every (Monday))
Example: Nadal always plays tennis on Roland Garros.

2) When is a routine situation (the things that we make: job, studies, etc.)
Example: I am at university. I study Robotic.
We use the Present Progressive:
1) For situations that happen in the moment in which we speak (for example, situations that we can see or
hear). For this reason this form is usually accompanied by adverbs of time like now or at the moment.

Example: Ariana is doing her homework now.

2) To speak of temporary situations. These situations are longer in a period of limited time. It is indicated by
