rarely		gradually

grandpa

grannyGRAMMAR FOCUS
Comparative and Superlative
adverbs
When we compare actions, we use adverbs to show the differences. Like adjectives, adverbs also have comparative and superlative forms.
When an adverb has one syllable we make the comparative by adding the letters ‘-er’. For example:					Comparative			fast 		faster			late		later			far 		farther
To make the superlative form of one-syllable adverbs, we add the + ‘-est’ to the word:					Comparative		Superlative			fast 		faster 			the fastest
			far 		farther/further
the farthest/furthest
Change the -y to ‘-i + ‘er or est’ if the adverb ends in -y and if it ends in -e, just add ‘-r’ and‘-st’. For example:
			early		earlier			the earliest
			late		later 			the latest
Adverbs ending in -ly form their comparative by adding the word more before the adverb and themost to form its superlative form. For example:
			literally		more literally		the most literally			frequently
more frequently
the most frequently			graduallymore gradually		the most gradually			gently		more gently		the most gently			rarely		more rarely		the most rarely			sharply		more sharply		the most sharply

GRAMMAR FOCUS
nouns as adjectives
We can use a noun to act as an adjective. For example:
		carrot cake		law firm		health department
The first noun serves as the adjective of the second noun. The second noun can NEVER serve as theadjective. You can remember it like this:				A ginger bread is bread with ginger.
		A beach resort is a resort with a beach.
		A film institute is an institute for film.
The noun used as an adjective is usually singular. Only the second noun will change to plural.
		A carrot cake. Some carrot cakes.
		A picture frame. Some picture frames.
		A nature reserve. Some nature reserves.
EXCEPT some nouns such as:
		clothes – clothes shop
		sports – sports gym
We use their plural form instead of the singular.
We commonly write nouns as adjectives as two separate words but some are separated by a hyphen
and others are written as one word.
						
two separate words 		
= picture frame		
two hyphenated words= book-case		one word 			= scarecrow
Lastly, like adjectives, we can have more than one noun as adjective to describe a noun. For example:
		hospital ward
		government hospital ward

R.E.M.S. METHODLESSONQ7

GRAMMAR FOCUS
Describing People
the + adjective = noun
Some adjectives can be used as nouns when used with the article‘the’. This happens when a phrase
like ‘the deaf people’ simply becomes ‘the deaf’, the adjective becomes a noun. These adjectives used as
nouns are plural in form and take plural verbs.
For example:
		The deaf have their own special language to communicate.
		The rich pay a big tax to the government.
		He likes to hang out with the intelligent.
		That lane was created for the old and the disabled.
		The jobless are encouraged to join the seminar tomorrow.
Words like American, English and Canadian can be both nouns and adjectives. Their plural form isalways a noun but their singular form can be either an adjective or a noun.
For example:
		The Koreans have colorful national costumes. (noun)
		
The Korean dishes in the restaurant are spicy. (adjective)
		The Japanese helped him translate. (noun)		
The Japanese doll was expensive. (adjective)
		The American brought a huge bag. (noun)
		
The American tourist enjoyed his stay. (adjective)

GRAMMAR FOCUS
Evidence of Recent Activity
present perfect continuous
This tense is used to talk about an action that has just finished recently.
PAST			NOW										

FUTURE				

X
We form the present perfect continuous tense of the verb with the modal has/have + been + present
participle of a verb.
For example:		have been dancing
		
has been cleaning
Words indicating duration of time such as ‘for’ and ‘since’ are not commonly used when this tense
indicates a recent activity or an action has just ended.
For example:
		She has been restoring photographs. (and she is now finished)
		They have been trading cooking recipes. (they now cook the same dishes)
These sentences can be followed by ‘just, lately or recently’ though to emphasize the usage.
		He has been participating in class lately.
		I have just been chopping onions.
