1. UNIT 1 Culture and identity

1.1. Grammar simple present
Auxiliary DO (I, You, They, We) and Does (He, She, It)
Rules
To Use a verb in third person, add S or Es to the end of a verb:
 If a verb end in X, Sh, Ch, SS or S add Es
 For all others verbs add S
 If a verb end in “Y”: There are two options, first, if before Y there is a
consonant, change Y by I and add ES. Second option, if before Y there is
a vocal, add S
Examples:
 She eats breakfast every day at 9:00
 We go out to run every weekend in the morning
 He studies accounting at UDEP
 They get up late on weekend because they don’t work
 I always watch news on TV in the evening
1.2. Grammar present continuous
Use present continuous to express actions in progress. Use a form of Be and a
present participle.
 I’m not wearing a jacket
 She’s not taking a shower
 We’re watching America Cup on TV
 I’m playing soccer with my friends
 Is she going to Cinema to watch Toy Story 4?
1.3. Collocations
When words are used regularly together, rules are created about their use not
for grammatical reasons but for simple association. "Black and white" (black
and white), for example, appears in that order by placement; always used that
way and put it upside down "white and black" (black and white) seems wrong.
For the same reason, "we make a mistake" (we make a mistake) or "do a test"
(we make a test). In these examples, the reason for using these verbs is that we
always do it in the same way: this is collocation
Examples:
 Have: have a bath, have a drink, have a good time, have a holiday
 Do: do business, do nothing, do someone a favor, do the housework
 Make: make a difference, make a mess, make a mistake, make an effort
 Take: take a break, take a chance, take a look, take a seat, take some
notes
 Break: break a habit, break a leg, break a window, break the law
