Articles are always an issue for English learners, so try practicing by putting in the right one (a/an, the, or nothing) in the following text:

Have you ever gone to (1)___ drive-in cinema? I love them. I went to my first one when I was (2)___ 12. My father took me to (3)___ one at the edge of town. We parked our car in (4)___ front row, and tuned our radio to the local station. We saw (5)___ comedy film and (6)___ action film, and while I didn’t really enjoy (7)___ movies,

Many English learners’ native languages either don’t distinguish between masculine and feminine pronouns, or don’t use pronouns at all. Strangely, despite having eliminated sex from regular nouns, all 3rd-person pronouns referring to people have sex. It is extremely important to keep them in order, as mixing them up can cause great confusion. In the following exercise, write in the correct pronoun.

There are two types of questions, direct and indirect. We’re all familiar with the direct ones, as we use them every day: “How are you?”, “What would you like to do this weekend?” “Have you got any real beer in the house?” are some examples. They follow an “inverted” word order: unlike most sentences, the subject comes after the auxiliary verb, not before.

These verbs can be very confusing due to their similarities, but they are used differently.

When you end something, you stop doing it, even though it could go on.

I ended the meeting because it was getting late.
Mary has ended her relationship with Bob—it was about time!
I’ll be visiting Taiwan at the end of the month—how exciting!

Have can be confusing because it’s used in two different ways: as an auxiliary verb, and as a main verb.

When it’s an auxiliary verb, it’s part of the perfect, and is followed by a participle. In these cases, it can be contracted.

When it’s a main verb, it’s either followed by its object or a to-infinitive, and cannot be contracted.

Also, be aware that have can be both in the same sentence.

When answering another person’s comments, instead of saying just yes or no, we can respond with certain phrases that express our feelings towards the response we give. For example:

When we are fairly sure of our response to what someone else has said, we can use “think”:

“Will the report be finished on time?” “I think so.”
“Won’t Mary be coming with us?” “I don’t think so.”

This is an expression we use when making predictions. If we are very sure of the prediction, we use this idiom to make sure everyone listening remembers that we said it and we said it early.

Easter vacation is coming soon. Mark my words, traffic is going to be terrible!

(It doesn’t have to be a difficult prediction!)

Put the words in the right order:

are doing of thinking tonight what you ?
do cinema go how often the to you ?
be finally when will ready you ?
a has Jeremy never suit worn .
a diet go have I on rarely to wanted.

Choose the right option: I am meeting / meet some friends tonight for dinner. James is working / works for a construction company—he’s been there since 1990. Mary and I aren’t understanding / don’t understand rocket science. Now I am wanting / want to try the new steakhouse they opened down the street. I just […]

This is a saying people use to express the idea that if you’re not paying attention, you could miss out on something important. It can be used as a joke, or in a more vengeful way. To snooze means to sleep lightly, especially when taking a quick nap or in front of the television.

“Oh no! I forgot to record that movie on TV last night—I was too busy reading.”
“I told you not to forget! Well, you snooze, you lose!”
