Grammar

Adverbs of manner are used to tell us the way or how something is done.

An adverb can be added to a verb to modify its meaning.

“She plays piano.” – An adverb of manner can be added to the verb (play) to modify its meaning and give us more information on how she plays piano.

“She plays piano beautifully.”

“She plays piano softly.”

“She plays piano terribly.”

Adverbs of manner are usually placed after the main verb or after the object. “He left the room quickly.”

It can also be used before the verb. “He quickly left the room.”

Adverbs of Manner – Examples

“The rain fell heavily.”

“When my teacher speaks, we listen carefully.”

“Make sure you write neatly.”

“She easily passed the test.”

Now watch the video and try to understand the using of adverbs.

Adverbs of manner are usually formed from adjectives by adding –ly:

bad > badly; quiet > quietly; sudden > suddenly

but there are sometimes changes in spelling:

easy > easily; gentle > gently

If an adjective ends in –ly we use the phrase in a …. way to express manner:

Silly > He behaved in a silly way.
Friendly > She spoke in a friendly way.

A few adverbs of manner have the same form as the adjective:

They all worked hard.
She usually arrives late.
I hate driving fast.

Note: hardly and lately have different meanings:
He could hardly walk = It was difficult for him to walk.
I haven’t seen John lately = I haven’t seen John recently.

We often use phrases with like as adverbials of manner:

She slept like a baby.
He ran like a rabbit.

Read and say: What does the word “food” mean to you (*Відповідь запиши у відповідний Google-документ)

“What does the word “food” mean to you? Is it a pleasure or just a fuel? This question has been disputable for a long time and everybody has his personal opinion about it. The most of people would agree that we eat in order to have enough energy to complete our routine tasks. Nevertheless, nobody would agree to eat the same  products from day to day. Moreover, food is certainly more than just a number of proteins, fats and carbohydrates. It’s the way to get some satisfaction after a long working day for the majority of people.” (Tis text is from EnglishDom)

Food in our life

Food is the basis of our life, because human body cannot exist without it. Every day we eat and we have to spend a significant part of our income on food, if we want to have a  healthy diet.

Food plays a very important role for everyone and different nations eat different meals, but the majority of countries have 3 main courses of meal: breakfast, lunch and dinner.

One famous English saying goes “We are what we eat”, and it’s true. The food we eat can influence our body and our mind. It contains nutrients, such as proteins, vitamins, minerals, fats, carbohydrates. Different products contain different nutrients. For example, we can get lots of vitamins eating fruit and vegetables.

If we want to live long, we should pay attention to what we eat. A healthy diet usually includes a lot of fruit and vegetables, regular portions of fish or white meat, grains, nuts and a few liters of water per day. It is better to choose products without artificial ingredients and with minimal quantity of sugar.

Food around the world

New Year

In China people eat eight, ten or twelve dishes of food at New Year. This is because an even number means double the luck. A lot of the food at New Year has a special meaning. Seaweed means good luck and long noodles mean long life. They eat whole vegetables and don’t use knives to cut things, because this means the end of your good luck.
In Ukraine there is lots of food on the table so the next year will be happy and plentiful. At 11.59 people open champagne and wait for the clock to strike twelve. Then they make a toast for the New Year. They wish everybody good luck and happiness.
In Spain people eat twelve grapes – one with each chime of the clock at midnight. This brings good luck for the next twelve months. But it is difficult to eat twelve grapes in twelve seconds, so people usually have a mouth full of grapes at the end!

Weddings

Italians eat doughnuts in the shape of bowties for good luck. They also eat sugared almonds when they hope for a baby. Many years ago in Britain the father of the bride gave the groom ‘honey mead’ (a honey drink) for a whole month. In this way the couple had a month of sweetness and happiness. We have now changed the word to ‘honeymoon’ – the holiday a couple goes on after their wedding.

Birthdays 

When a child is born in China, the father gives red eggs to his friends and family – an even number for a girl and an odd number for a boy. The birthday party started in Europe in the Middle Ages. People were afraid of ghosts and bad spirits on their birthdays. Friends and family came to visit you with presents to stop them.
In Mexico people fill a paper animal with sweets. Children close their eyes and hit the animal until the sweets fall out. Then everybody eats the sweets.

Read the text “Memories of May Day” and then check yourself.

I’ll never forget the May Day Festival we had every year when I was a little girl. On 1st May, everyone on our village used to celebrate the start of Spring with dancing, food and fun!

One of the things I liked best was the maypole dance. The children from my school made a circle around the maypole, and we covered the pole with pretty ribbons as we danced around it.

After the dancing we always had delicious food. There was a huge buffet in the village hall, with mountains of sandwiches, cakes and biscuits. At the end of the day, there was never any food or drink left, because we were so hungry after all the dancing and party games.

Today, not many English villages celebrate May day in the traditional way we used to. I always had a great time though, and I feel happy when I remember that.

Grammar

COUNTABLE NOUNS

Countable nouns are for things we can count using numbers. They have a singular and a plural form. The singular form can use the determiner “a” or “an”. If you want to ask about the quantity of a countable noun, you ask “How many?” combined with the plural countable noun.

EXAMPLES

• She has three cats.

• I own a house.

• I would like three books please.

• How many friends do you have?

UNCOUNTABLE NOUNS

Uncountable nouns are for the things that we cannot count with numbers. They may be the names for abstract ideas or qualities or for physical objects that are too small or too amorphous to be counted (liquids, powders, gases, etc.). Uncountable nouns are used with a singular verb. They usually do not have a plural form.

• coffe
• sugar
• salt
• water
• air
• rice
• knowledge
• beauty
• anger
• fear
• love
• money
• research
• safety
• advice

We cannot use a/an with these nouns. To express a quantity of an uncountable noun, use a word or expression like some, a lot of, much, a bit of, a great deal of , or else use an exact measurement like a cup of, a bag of, 1kg of, 1L of, a handful of, a pinch of, an hour of, a day of. If you want to ask about the quantity of an uncountable noun, you ask “How much?”

EXAMPLES

• There has been a lot of research into the causes of this disease.
• He gave me a great deal of advice before my interview.
• Can you give me some information about uncountable nouns?
• He did not have much sugar left.
• Measure 1 cup of water, 300g of flour, and 1 teaspoon of salt.
• How much rice do you want?

PIT FALLS (Подводные камни)

Some nouns are countable in other languages but uncountable in English. They must follow the rules for uncountable nouns. The most common ones are:
accommodation, advice, baggage, behavior, bread, furniture, information, luggage, news, progress, traffic, travel, trouble, weather, work

EXAMPLES

• I would like to give you some advice.
• How much bread should I bring?
• I didn’t make much progress today.
• This looks like a lot of trouble to me.
• We did an hour of work yesterday.

QUANTIFIERS

A quantifier, as its name implies, expresses quantity. Quantifiers can be a single word or a phrase and are used with nouns.

• any + plural nouns or uncountable singular forms. ( is used with negative sentences and questions.

• much + plural nouns

• a lot of + uncountable or plural nouns( is more usual in affirmative sentences)

Grammar

CONJUNCTIONS(SO,THEN…)

We use and, or and but to connect two parts of sentences which are similar in grammatical status.

Do you want chocolate, strawberry or vanilla? (joining words)
Amy’s dad is taking us on Saturday morning, and he’s offered to bring us home again on Sunday. (joining clauses)

We use and  for adding information, or for giving alternatives and but for unexpected or different information.

I’m OK for food, dance  and  music, and I’m having a wonderful time.
There’s a reggae band from Jamaica or a Russian electro-pop group on the other stage.
She’d like to go but she can’t.

There are a lot more conjunctions which we use to connect one clause with another clause.

For example: because, for giving reasons, so, for talking about results or purposes, and although, for unexpected or different information.

• I’d like to see that Irish band, because Celtic music is pretty cool.(the second clause explains the reason Alfie wants to see the Irish band)
• Although he doesn’t like camping, he goes to lots of music festivals.(the speaker thinks it’s unusual to go to music festivals if you don’t like camping)
• We need to arrive early so (that) we can get a good place.(the second clause shows the purpose of the first clause; that is optional)
