Grammar
Passive voice
An active sentence like I drank two cups of coffee has the subject first
(the person or thing that does the verb), followed by the verb, and finally the
object (the person or thing that the action happens to).
So, in this example, the subject is 'I', the verb is 'drank' and the object is 'two
cups of coffee'.
But, we don't always need to make sentences this way. We might want to put
the object first, or perhaps we don't want to say who did something. This can
happen for lots of reasons (see the explanation further down the page). In this
case, we can use a passive, which puts the object first:
Two cups of coffee were drunk (we can add 'by me' if we want, but it isn't
necessary).
How to make the Passive in English
We make the passive by putting the verb 'to be' into whatever tense we need
and then adding the past participle. For regular verbs, we make the past
participle by adding 'ed' to the infinitive. So play becomes played.
Tense Active Passive
present simple I make a cake. A cake is made (by me).
present A cake is being made (by
I am making a cake.
continuous me).
past simple I made a cake. A cake was made (by me).
A cake was being made (by
past continuous I was making a cake.
me).
A cake has been made (by
present perfect I have made a cake.
me).
pres. perf. I have been A cake has been being
continuous making a cake. made (by me).
A cake had been made (by
past perfect I had made a cake.
me).
future simple I will make a cake. A cake will be made (by me).
I will have made a A cake will have been
future perfect
cake. made (by me).
Verbs with two objects
Some verbs that have two objects can make two different active sentences, and
so two different passive sentences too:
Give
Active: He gave me the book / He gave the book to me.
You can choose either of the two objects to be the subject of the passive
sentence.
Passive: I was given the book (by him)/ The book was given to me (by
him).
Other verbs like this are: ask, offer, teach, tell, lend, promise, sell, throw.
The passive in subordinate clauses
You can make the passive in a subordinate clause that has a subject and a
normal conjugated verb. This is really the same as a normal passive.
Active: I thought that Mary had kissed John.
Passive: I thought that John had been kissed by Mary.
Active: He knew that people had built the church in 1915.
Passive: He knew that the church had been built in 1915.
You can also make the passive using a passive gerund or a passive infinitive in
the same place as a normal gerund or infinitive.
The child loves being cuddled.
She would like to be promoted.
When should we use the Passive?
1. When we want to change the focus of the sentence:
o The Mona Lisa was painted by Leonardo Da Vinci. (We are more
interested in the painting than the artist in this sentence)
2. When who or what causes the action is unknown or
unimportant or obvious or 'people in general':
o He was arrested (obvious agent, the police).
o My bike has been stolen (unknown agent).
o The road is being repaired (unimportant agent).
o The form can be obtained from the post office (people in general).
3. In factual or scientific writing:
o The chemical is placed in a test tube and the data entered into the
computer.
4. In formal writing instead of using someone/ people/ they
(these can be used in speaking or informal writing):
o The brochure will be finished next month.
5. In order to put the new information at the end of the sentence
to improve style:
o Three books are used regularly in the class. The books were written
by Dr. Bell. ('Dr. Bell wrote the books' sound clumsy)
6. When the subject is very long:
o I was surprised by how well the students did in the test. (More
natural than: 'how well the students did in the test surprised me')

Grammar
Reported Speech
Reported Statements
When do we use reported speech? Sometimes someone says a sentence, for
example "I'm going to the cinema tonight". Later, maybe we want to tell
someone else what the first person said.
Watch my reported speech video:
Here's how it works:
We use a 'reporting verb' like 'say' or 'tell'. If this verb is in the present tense,
it's easy. We just put 'she says' and then the sentence:
Direct speech: I like ice cream.
Reported speech: She says (that) she likes ice cream.
We don't need to change the tense, though probably we do need to change the
'person' from 'I' to 'she', for example. We also may need to change words like
'my' and 'your'.
(As I'm sure you know, often, we can choose if we want to use 'that' or not in
English. I've put it in brackets () to show that it's optional. It's exactly the same
if you use 'that' or if you don't use 'that'.)
But, if the reporting verb is in the past tense, then usually we change the
tenses in the reported speech:
Direct speech: I like ice cream.
Reported speech: She said (that) she liked ice cream.
Tense Direct Speech Reported Speech
present
I like ice cream She said (that) she liked ice cream.
simple
present I am living in
She said (that) she was living in London.
continuous London
She said (that) she had bought a car OR
past simple I bought a car
She said (that) she bought a car.
past I was walking She said (that) she had been walking
continuous along the street along the street.
present I haven't seen
She said (that) she hadn't seen Julie.
perfect Julie
I had taken
She said (that) she had taken English
past perfect* English lessons
lessons before.
before
will I'll see you later She said (that) she would see me later.
I would help,
would* She said (that) she would help but...
but..
I can speak She said (that) she could speak perfect
can
perfect English English.
I could swim She said (that) she could swim when she
could*
when I was four was four.
shall I shall come later She said (that) she would come later.
I should call my She said (that) she should call her
should*
mother mother
might* I might be late She said (that) she might be late
must I must study at She said (that) she must study at the
the weekend weekend OR She said she had to study at
the weekend
* doesn't change.
Occasionally, we don't need to change the present tense into the past if the
information in direct speech is still true (but this is only for things which are
general facts, and even then usually we like to change the tense):
Direct speech: The sky is blue.
Reported speech: She said (that) the sky is/was blue.
Reported Questions
So now you have no problem with making reported speech from positive and
negative sentences. But how about questions?
Direct speech: Where do you live?
How can we make the reported speech here?
In fact, it's not so different from reported statements. The tense changes are
the same, and we keep the question word. The very important thing though is
that, once we tell the question to someone else, it isn't a question any more. So
we need to change the grammar to a normal positive sentence. A bit
confusing? Maybe this example will help:
Direct speech: Where do you live?
Reported speech: She asked me where I lived.
Do you see how I made it? The direct question is in the present simple tense.
We make a present simple question with 'do' or 'does' so I need to take that
away. Then I need to change the verb to the past simple.
Another example:
Direct speech: Where is Julie?
Reported speech: She asked me where Julie was.
The direct question is the present simple of 'be'. We make the question form of
the present simple of be by inverting (changing the position of)the subject and
verb. So, we need to change them back before putting the verb into the past
simple.
Here are some more examples:
Direct Question Reported Question
Where is the Post Office,
She asked me where the Post Office was.
please?
What are you doing? She asked me what I was doing.
She asked me who that fantastic man had
Who was that fantastic man?
been.
So much for 'wh' questions. But, what if you need to report a 'yes / no'
question? We don't have any question words to help us. Instead, we use 'if':
Direct speech: Do you like chocolate?
Reported speech: She asked me if I liked chocolate.
No problem? Here are a few more examples:
Direct Question Reported Question
Do you love me? He asked me if I loved him.
Have you ever been to Mexico? She asked me if I had ever been to Mexico.
Are you living here? She asked me if I was living here.
Reported Requests
There's more! What if someone asks you to do something (in a polite way)?
For example:
Direct speech: Close the window, please
Or: Could you close the window please?
Or: Would you mind closing the window please?
All of these requests mean the same thing, so we don't need to report every
word when we tell another person about it. We simply use 'ask me + to +
infinitive':
Reported speech: She asked me to close the window.
Here are a few more examples:
Direct Request Reported Request
Please help me. She asked me to help her.
Please don't smoke. She asked me not to smoke.
She asked me to bring her book that
Could you bring my book tonight?
night.
Could you pass the milk, please? She asked me to pass the milk.
Would you mind coming early She asked me to come early the next
tomorrow? day.
To report a negative request, use 'not':
Direct speech: Please don't be late.
Reported speech: She asked us not to be late.
Reported Orders
And finally, how about if someone doesn't ask so politely? We can call this an
'order' in English, when someone tells you very directly to do something. For
example:
Direct speech: Sit down!
In fact, we make this into reported speech in the same way as a request. We
just use 'tell' instead of 'ask':
Reported speech: She told me to sit down.
Direct Order Reported Order
Go to bed! He told the child to go to bed.
Don't worry! He told her not to worry.
Be on time! He told me to be on time.
Don't smoke! He told us not to smoke.
Time Expressions with Reported Speech
Sometimes when we change direct speech into reported speech we have to
change time expressions too. We don't always have to do this, however. It
depends on when we heard the direct speech and when we say the reported
speech.
For example:
It's Monday. Julie says "I'm leaving today".
If I tell someone on Monday, I say "Julie said she was leaving today".
If I tell someone on Tuesday, I say "Julie said she was leaving yesterday".
If I tell someone on Wednesday, I say "Julie said she was leaving on
Monday".
If I tell someone a month later, I say "Julie said she was leaving that day".
So, there's no easy conversion. You really have to think about when the direct
speech was said.
Here's a table of some possible conversions:
now then / at that time
today yesterday / that day / Tuesday / the 27th of June
the day before yesterday / the day before / Wednesday / the 5th of
yesterday
December
last night the night before, Thursday night
last week the week before / the previous week
tomorrow today / the next day / the following day / Friday

Causative
We use a causative verb when we want to talk about something that someone
else did for us or for another person. It means that the subject caused the
action to happen, but didn't do it themselves. Maybe they paid, or asked, or
persuaded the other person to do it. For example, we can say:
I cleaned my house. (This means I cleaned it myself).
If I paid someone to clean it, of course I can say:
A cleaner cleaned my house.
But, another way is to use a causative construction. So I can also say:
I had my house cleaned.
In a sense, using a causative verb is similar to using a passive. The important
thing is that the house is now clean. We don't focus on who did the cleaning.
Have + object + past participle (have something done)
We usually use 'have something done' when we are talking about paying
someone to do something for us. It's often used for services. The form is
'subject + have + object + past participle'.
I had my car washed.
John will have his house painted.
Get + object + past participle (get something done)
We can also use 'subject + get + object + past participle'. This has the same
meaning as 'have', but is less formal.
The students get their essays checked.
I'll get my hair cut next week.
He got his washing machine fixed.
Have someone do something (have + person + infinitive)
We can also use the construction 'subject + have + person + infinitive'. This
has a very similar meaning to 'have something done', which we've already
talked about, but this time we say who did the thing - we talk about the person
who we asked to do the thing for us.
I had the electrician look at my broken light.
The doctor will have the nurse call the patients.
The teacher had the students write the answers on the whiteboard.
Get someone to do something (get + person + to + infinitive)
Finally, we can also use the construction 'get + someone + to + infinitive'.
Again, this means that you cause the other person to do the action, maybe by
paying them to do it, or by asking them to do it, or by persuading them to do it.
She gets her son to do his homework by promising him ice cream when
he's finished.
I got the cleaner to clean under the cupboards.
Sometimes, this construction has the feeling that we needed to convince
someone to do something, while the other constructions on this page are
neutral.
Grammar
Gerund and infinitive
We use gerunds (verb + ing):
After certain verbs - I enjoy singing
After prepositions - I drank a cup of coffee before leaving
As the subject or object of a sentence - Swimming is good exercise
We use 'to' + infinitive:
After certain verbs - We decided to leave
After many adjectives - It's difficult to get up early
To show purpose - I came to London to study English
We use the bare infinitive (the infinitive without 'to'):
After modal verbs - I can meet you at six o'clock
After 'let', 'make' and (sometimes) 'help' - The teacher let us leave early
After some verbs of perception (see, watch, hear, notice, feel, sense) - I
watched her walk away
After expressions with 'why' - why go out the night before an exam?
Here are some of the most common verbs that are usually followed by the
gerund.
enjoy: I enjoyed living in France.
fancy: I fancy seeing a film tonight.
discuss: We discussed going on holiday together.
dislike: I dislike waiting for buses.
finish: We've finished preparing for the meeting.
mind: I don't mind coming early.
suggest: He suggested staying at the Grand Hotel.
recommend: They recommended meeting earlier.
keep: He kept working, although he felt ill.
avoid: She avoided talking to her boss.
miss: She misses living near the beach.
appreciate: I appreciated her helping me.
delay: He delayed doing his taxes.
postpone: He postponed returning to Paris
practise: She practised singing the song.
consider: She considered moving to New York.
can't stand: He can't stand her smoking in the office.
can't help: He can't help talking so loudly.
risk: He risked being caught.
admit: He admitted cheating on the test
deny: He denied committing the crime.
mention: He mentioned going to that college.
imagine: He imagines working there one day.
tolerate: I tolerated her talking.
understand: I understand his quitting.
involve: The job involves travelling to Japan once a month.
complete: He completed renovating the house.
report: He reported her stealing the money.
anticipate: I anticipated arriving late.
recall: Tom recalled using his credit card at the store
And here are some common verbs followed by 'to' and the infinitive.
agree: She agreed to give a presentation at the meeting.
ask*: I asked to leave early / I asked him to leave early.
decide: We decided to go out for dinner.
help*: He helped to clean the kitchen / he helped his flatmate to
clean the kitchen.
plan: She plans to buy a new flat next year.
hope: I hope to pass the exam.
learn: They are learning to sing.
want*: I want to come to the party / I want him to come to the party.
would like*: I would like to see her tonight / I would like you to see her
tonight.
promise: We promised not to be late.
can afford: We can't afford to go on holiday.
manage: He managed to open the door without the key.
prepare*: They prepared to take the test /
the teachers prepared the students to take the test.

wait: She waited to buy a movie ticket.
would hate*: I'd hate to be late / I'd hate you to be late.
would love*: I'd love to come / I'd love him to come.
seem: Nancy seemed to be disappointed.
expect*: They expect to arrive early / they expect Julie to arrive early
intend: We intend to visit you next spring.
pretend: The child pretended to be a monster.
refuse: The guard refused to let them enter the building.
tend: He tends to be a little shy.
would prefer*: I'd prefer to do it / I'd prefer him to do it.
deserve: He deserves to go to jail.
appear: His health appeared to be better.
arrange: Naomi arranged to stay with her cousin in Miami.
claim: She claimed to be a princess.
*We can use an object before the infinitive with these verbs.
(Note that 'help' can also be followed by the infinitive without 'to' with no
difference in meaning: 'I helped to carry it' = 'I helped carry it'.)
These verbs can be followed by either the gerund or the infinitive with a
change in meaning.
Remember + gerund
This is when you remember something that has happened in the past. You
have a memory of it, like being able to see a movie of it in your head.
I remember going to the beach when I was a child. (= I have a memory of
going to the beach).
He remembers closing the door. (= He has a memory of closing the
door).
Remember + to + infinitive
This is when you think of something that you need to do. (And usually, you
then do the thing).
I remembered to buy milk. (= I was walking home and the idea that I
needed milk came into my head, so I bought some).
She remembered to send a card to her grandmother.
Forget + gerund
This is the opposite of remember + gerund. It's when you forget about a
memory, something that you've done in the past.
Have we really studied this topic before? I forget reading about it.
I told my brother that we'd spent Christmas at Granny's house in 1985,
but he'd forgotten going there.
Forget + to + infinitive
This is the opposite of remember + to + infinitive. It's when you want to do
something, but you forget about it.
I forgot to call my mother. (= I wanted to call my mother, but when it
was a good time to call her, I forgot. I was thinking about something else,
and the idea to call my mother didn't come into my head).
She keeps forgetting to bring his book back.
Try + gerund
This is when you do something as an experiment. The thing you do is not
difficult, but you want to see if doing it will have the result that you want.
I wanted to stop smoking, so I tried using nicotine patches. (= Using
nicotine patches was easy, but I wanted to know if it would help me stop
smoking).
She tried giving up chocolate, but it didn't help her lose weight. (It was
easy for her to give up chocolate. She gave it up to see if it would help her
lose weight, but it didn't).
Try + to + infinitive
This is when the thing you do itself is difficult. In the present tense or future
tense, this means you might not succeed in doing it. In the past tense, it means
that you made an effort to do the thing, but you did not succeed.
I'll try to carry the suitcase, but it looks too heavy for me.
She tried to catch the bus, but she couldn't run fast enough.
Look at the difference:
I tried giving up chocolate (it was no problem to stop eating chocolate)
but it didn't make me feel more healthy.
I tried to give up chocolate, but it was too hard. I always ate some when
my friends offered it to me.
It was too hot in the room. I tried opening the window (it was easy to
open the window). It didn't help though, because it was very hot outside
too.
I tried to open the window, but I couldn't because it was stuck.
Stop + gerund
When we stop doing something it means the verb in the gerund is the thing
that we stop. It can mean 'stop forever' or 'stop at that moment'.
I stopped working when I was expecting a baby. (Working is the thing I
stopped).
My grandmother stopped driving when she was 85. (Driving is the thing
she stopped).
My boss came into the room, so I stopped browsing the internet.
There was a fire alarm, so I stopped eating and went outside.
Stop + to + infinitive
In this case, we stop something else in order to do the verb in the infinitive.
I stopped to eat lunch. (I stopped something else, maybe working or
studying, because I wanted to eat lunch.
She was shopping and she stopped to get a cup of coffee. (She stopped
shopping because she wanted to get a cup of coffee).
Look at the difference:
I stopped smoking. (I gave up cigarettes OR I threw away my cigarette at
that moment).
I stopped to smoke. (I stopped doing something else because I wanted to
have a cigarette).
Regret + gerund
This is when you are sorry about something you did in the past and you wish
you hadn't done it.
I regret going to bed so late. I'm really tired today.
She regrets leaving school when she was sixteen. She wishes that she had
studied more and then gone to university.
Regret + to + infinitive
We use this construction when we are giving someone bad news, in quite a
formal way. The verb is almost always something like 'say' or 'tell' or 'inform'.
I regret to tell you that the train has been delayed.
The company regrets to inform employees that the London office will
close next year.

To make the comparative form of adjectives (like 'bigger' or 'more expensive')
and the superlative form (like 'biggest' or 'most expensive'), first we need to
know how many syllables are in the adjective.
Adjectives with one syllable
Usually if an adjective has only one syllable, we add 'er' to make the
comparative form. We add 'est' to make the superlative form.
clean cleaner / cleanest
cold colder / coldest
small smaller / smallest
young younger / youngest
tall taller / tallest
There are some spelling changes. If there is one vowel followed by one
consonant at the end of the adjective, we often double the consonant.
wet wetter / wettest
big bigger / biggest
hot hotter / hottest
thin thinner / thinnest
If the adjective ends in 'y', this often changes to 'i'.
dry drier / driest
If the adjective ends in 'e', we don't add another 'e', just 'r'.
nice nicer / nicest
large larger / largest
Even when the adjective has only one syllable, it's still not wrong to use 'more'
or 'most'. It's possible to say 'more wet' or 'most tall'. This isn't incorrect.
There are a few adjectives that we have to use 'more' or 'most' with, even
though they only have one syllable. We CAN'T add 'er' or 'est'.
fun more fun / most fun (NOT funner / funnest)
real more real / most real (NOT realer / realest)
right more right / most right (NOT righter / rightest)
wrong more wrong / most wrong (NOT wronger / wrongest)
Adjectives with two syllables
For adjectives with two syllables we generally use 'more' or 'most'.
careful more careful / most careful
bored more bored / most bored
But some two syllable adjectives can take 'er' or 'est'. It's also fine to use 'more'
(for the comparative) or 'most' (for the superlative).
clever cleverer / cleverest
simple simpler / simplest
narrow narrower / narrowest
quiet quieter / quietest
Adjectives with two syllables that end in 'y' usually can add 'er' or 'est' (y
generally changes to i). It's also fine to use 'more' or 'most'.
dirty dirtier / dirtiest
pretty prettier / prettiest
happy happier / happiest
ugly uglier / ugliest
Adjectives with more than two syllables
Adjectives with more than two syllables can only make their comparative by
using 'more' and their superlative by using 'most'.
beautiful more beautiful / most beautiful
intelligent more intelligent / most intelligent
interesting more interesting / most interesting
expensive more expensive / most expensive
Irregular adjectives
There are also some irregular adjectives. We just need to learn these forms.
good better best
bad worse worst
far further furthest
little less least
much more most
Adverbs
Adverbs are used to describe verbs, adjectives or other adverbs. They are often
(but not always) made by adding 'ly' to the adjective.
I walked slowly ('slowly' tells us about the verb 'walk').
They worked quickly.
We make the comparative and superlative forms of adverbs by using 'more /
most'.
She sang loudly.
She sang more loudly than her friend.
She sang most loudly in the class.
Adverb or adjective?
It's important to remember to use an adjective after a linking verb. However,
this can be tricky as some verbs can be used as both normal verbs and as
linking verbs. One test is to replace the verb with the same form of 'be' and see
if the sentence still makes sense. If it does, the verb is being used as a linking
verb and so needs an adjective, not an adverb.
He smells the hot soup carefully. (Here we are talking about the action of
smelling and using smell as a normal verb, so we need an adverb.)
The soup smells good. (Here we are using 'smell' as a linking verb, to
describe the soup. We can replace 'smells' with 'is' and the sentence still
makes sense. So, we need an adjective.)
He looked tiredly at the dirty kitchen. (Here we are talking about the
action of looking and using 'look' as a normal verb, so we use an adverb
to describe the way of looking.)
You look beautiful. (Here we are using 'look' as a linking verb, to give
more information about the person. We can replace 'look' with 'are' and
the sentence still makes sense. So we need an adjective.)
Irregular forms
Normally, we make an adverb by adding 'ly' to an adjective.
Careful (adjective): He is always careful.
Carefully (adverb): She put the glasses down carefully.
Quiet (adjective): This is a quiet room.
Quietly (adverb): She spoke quietly.
Bad (adjective): This coffee is bad!
Badly (adverb): He sings badly!
If the adjective ends in 'y', we change 'y' to 'i' and add 'ly'. If the adjective ends
in 'le', we drop 'e' and add 'y'.
Happy (adjective): She looks very happy.
Happily (adverb): He sang happily.
Gentle (adjective): It's a gentle cat.
Gently (adverb): He stroked the cat gently.
However, there are some exceptions.
Fast (adjective): That's a fast car.
Fast (adverb): She walks fast.
Early (adjective): She was early for the meeting.
Early (adverb): He arrived early.
Late (adjective): He is always late!
Late (adverb): He got up late this morning ('lately' is also an adverb but
means 'recently').
Good (adjective): That is a good book.
Well (adverb): She did well on the exam ('well' can also be an adjective;
see below).
Hard (adjective): Maths is hard!
Hard (adverb): She tried hard ('hardly' is also an adverb, but means
'almost none'; see below).
There are also some adjectives that end in 'ly' and don't have an adverb form.
Instead we use 'in a ---way'. These are friendly, lovely, lonely, lively, and silly.
He talked to me in a friendly way.
Good / well
'Well' can be confusing because it is both the adverb form of 'good', and an
adjective that means 'healthy and fine'.
My mother is well ('well' is an adjective that means 'healthy and fine').
He did the work well ('well' is an adverb meaning 'in a good way').
Of course, we also use 'good' as an adjective.
This meal is good!
He can speak good German.
Hard / hardly
'Hard' is both an adjective and an adverb.
The table is hard (= adjective, meaning 'not soft' or 'difficult').
She works hard (= adverb, meaning 'with a lot of effort').
'Hardly' is also an adverb, but it means 'almost nothing' or 'almost none'.
She hardly works (= she does almost no work).
I have hardly any money (= I have almost no money).
Late / lately
'Late' is an adjective and an adverb. There is also an adverb 'lately', which
means 'recently'.
I'm late (= adjective, meaning 'not on time').
He came late (= adverb, meaning 'not on time').
I've been working a lot lately (= an adverb meaning 'recently').
