Stress and intonation

Commands and responses

When you make statements, give commands, or respond to commands, your voice tends to go down at the end. But when you ask some questions, your voice goes up at the end. Remember that the stress mark (ˈ) is used to show which part of a sentence is stressed.

In this lesson, the sign ↘is used to show that your voice goes down at the end of statements, commands, and responses to commands, while the sign ➚shows that your voice goes up at the end of questions.

The way your voice goes up and down when you speak is known as intonation.

Examples

1. We can ↘ˈgo. Can we ➚ˈgo?
2. She will ˈwash the ↘dishes. Will she ˈwash the ➚ˈdishes?
3. He was ˈwaiting for ↘ˈEke. Was he ˈwaiting for ➚ˈEke?
4. You are ˈreading for a↘test. Are you ˈreading for a➚ˈtest?

[mediator_tech]

Simple present tense

The simple present tense is used to describe an action that happens always, is regular, true, or normal.

Examples:

1. The sun rises in the east.
2. They work hard.
3. She sells clothes.
4. I go to school every day.
5. My father is a teacher.

Simple past tense questions

We often ask questions in English using the simple past tense. To ask a question about something past, the verbs ‘did’, ‘was’, or ‘were’ can be used. When ‘did’ is used, it is combined with a verb in the infinitive (basic) form.

Examples:

1Were you invited to the party? No, I was not invited.

2 Where did he get it? He got it at home.

3Was Yakubugiven a gift? Yes, Yakubugot a gift.

Examples:

When the verb ‘was’ or ‘were’ is used, the past participle of a verb is used with it.

1 When did you take it? I took it at 2 pm.

2Did you take your English textbook? Yes, I took my English textbook.

Exercise

1. you / who / did / to / talk /?

3 work / with / did / you / who /?

4 did / what / time / you / up / wake / ?

5 what / did / eat / lunch / for / you / ?

Future tense

The future tense is used to express an action or an event that will take place in the future. The future tense can be expressed in positive and negative ways. The negative future is expressed by adding ‘not’ to the sentence.

1. I will play after breakfast.
2. Susan will not go to Germany.
3. What we achieve inwardly will change outer reality.
4. Always do your best. What you plant now, you will harvest later.

What you need to know about HIV/AIDS

AIDS (which means Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome) is a disease that can make people very sick. AIDS comes from a virus called HIV (which means Human Immunodeficiency Virus). A virus is a germ that gets into your blood and makes you very sick. The HIV virus usually gets into the body from someone else’s blood. Therefore, if someone is bleeding, don’t touch the blood. Instead, tell an adult immediately.

HIV infection is not like a cold or the flu. You cannot get it by riding in a school bus with someone who has HIV, visiting the home of someone who has HIV, or by holding that person’s hand. You cannot get this germ just by touching an infected person, or by being around him. You cannot get HIV/AIDS from hugging someone or using a bathroom right after someone with the disease has used it.

HIV is spread through risky behaviour, for example, when you touch another person’s body fluid, such as blood. Many people get HIV through sex or sharing the same needle, syringes, or sharp objects with a person who has HIV. HIV could be passed from an infected pregnant mother to her unborn child. You could also get HIV through blood transfusion if the blood is infected.

It is not easy to tell if someone has HIV. You cannot tell that people have AIDS just by looking at them. It is even possible for someone to have HIV without knowing it. Therefore, it is better to get tested regularly. Doctors test your blood or saliva to find out if you are infected with HIV.

You can help stop the spread of HIV by staying away from relationships with the opposite sex. You should not share needles, syringes, or other sharp objects with people. Blood samples should be properly tested before they are used. You need to think clearly in order to choose what will make you healthy and protect yourself from HIV. So you have to stay away from alcohol and drugs.

Until a cure is found for HIV and AIDS, the smartest thing to do is to know the facts about HIV/AIDS and avoid risky behaviour.

Answer these questions.

1 How can AIDS make people feel?

2 What does AIDS stand for?

3 What is a virus?

4 What should you do when someone is bleeding?

5 Mention two things which cannot cause HIV.

6 Mention two ways you can get HIV.

7 Why is it better to get tested regularly?

8 What can you do to help stop the spread of HIV?

9 Has a cure been found for HIV and AIDS?

PAST TENSE

Past continuous tense We add ‘was’ or ‘were’ before the simple past tense verb, then add ‘ing’ to the verb, when we want to talk about what was happening in the past before another thing happened. This is the past continuous tense. We add the ‘was’ or ‘were’ only to the verb that shows the action that was stopped, not to the other verbs.

PRESENT PERFECT TENSE

To make the positive present perfect tense, use:

• ‘have’ / ‘has’+ the past participle
• Make the past participle by adding ‘ed’ to regular verbs(for example, ‘play’ becomes ‘played’)
• There are a few verbs that change their spelling when you add ‘ed’ (for example, ‘study’ becomes ‘studied’)
• We also have some completely irregular verbs

(Also, here’s some help if you are not sure how to pronounce ‘-ed’ at the end of a verb).

Present perfect tense using ‘-en’ ending

Read these sentences carefully, and note the use of the present perfect tense ending in ‘-en’.
