Prefixes are letters which we add to the beginning of a word to make a new word with a different meaning.Prefixes can create a new word opposite in meaning to the word the prefix is attached to: possible –impossible, able – unable, like - dislike. The most common negative prefixes in English are in-, un-, non-, de-, dis-, a-, anti-, im-, il-, and ir-.The adjective ‘abnormal’ is formed by adding the negative prefix ab- to the adjective ‘normal’ and means ‘different from what is normal or usual, in a way which is strange or dangerous’ (an abnormal amount of snow; abnormal behavior). The origin of this adjective is French: the alteration of French anormal that comes from Medieval Latin anormalis that comes in its turn from Latin a- + Late Latin normalis (normal).By this formation we have an antonym pair: normal – abnormal. Don’t be confused with the adjective ‘subnormal’ that means ‘below the normal’ (a subnormal amount of rain; a subnormal person).

Sarah is __________ beautiful.

amazing

amazingly

Choose the sentence with the right word order

John doesn't often go to the theatre.

John often doesn't go to the theatre.

John doesn't go often to the theatre.

Often John doesn't go to the theatre.

In the test sentence we see the adverb ‘often’ that is one of adverbs of frequency that tell us how often something happens. We usually put adverbials of frequency (1) in front of the main verb (between the subject and the main verb), or (2) after the modal verb or first auxiliary verb, or (3) after be as a main verb:I often see her there. But we can also use it (4) in front position that is the least common position, and sounds more formal: Often Jane would go for a swim. And we can put ‘often’ (5) in end position: Do you goon business trip often? If the sentence has more than one verb in it (e.g. auxiliary verb) we usually put the adverb after the first part of the verb: Diana doesn't usually swim on Sundays. Following the rule, we are to choose ANSWER 1 where the adverb of frequency ‘often’ goes in front of the main verb ‘go’.

Anything

Jerry didn't do _________ wrong.

something

nothing

anything

everything

Something, anybody, everyone, etc. are indefinite pronouns. We use -body, -one, -thing, -where to refer to people, places and things in a general way without saying exactly who or what they are. All the indefinite pronouns that are given in the test ANSWERS end in –thing (something, nothing, anything, everything), thus, they all refer to things.Indefinite pronouns using some are used in affirmative sentences to describe an indefinite quantity, the indefinite pronouns with every are used in affirmative sentences to describe a complete quantity. And the pronouns with no are used affirmative sentences to describe an absence. Indefinite pronouns with no are often used in affirmative sentences with a negative meaning, but these are nevertheless not negative sentences because they are lacking the word not. Any and the indefinite pronouns formed with it can also be used in affirmative sentences with a meaning that is close to every: whichever person, whichever place, whichever thing, etc.Negative sentences can only be formed with the indefinite pronouns that include any. The test sentence is a negative one: Jerry didn't do….. wrong. Thus, we can choose only ANSWER 3: anything.

Relative clause

We can use relative clauses to make two sentences into one sentence. The relative clause gives us more information about the person or thing in the main clause. We introduce a relative clause with a relative pronoun (which, who or that). ‘Which’ is for a relative clause about animals or things (but NOT people). In the test sentence ‘which’ = the subject of ‘was founded’. It replaces the noun ‘Washington’ in the sentence. We need the relative pronoun when it is a subject, therefore, we cannot leave out the relative pronoun when it is a subject. Defining relative clauses describe exactly which (or what kind) person or thing we mean. In the test example: which city?

Adverb

Adverbs describe how, when or where someone does something. There are many types of adverbs: of manner, frequency, time, place or direction. Most adverbs of manner add –ly to the adjective. But there are some irregular adverbs that do not have the –ly form. The adverbs ‘fast’, ‘hard’, ‘high’, ‘long’, ‘low’, ‘near’, ‘late’ and ‘early’ have the same form as adjectives.

Reported speech

We use 'many', 'much' and 'a lot of' to talk about a large amount or number. The exact amount or number is not important. We can use 'a lot of' in positive and negative sentences and questions.We usually use 'much' and 'many' in negative sentences and questions. In everyday English, we don't use 'much' and 'many' in positive sentences. 'Much' and 'many' can be used in positive sentences only in a formal context: Much work remains to be done. Many people feel that the law should be changed. And also with adverbs 'too' and 'so' - too many, too much', 'so many', 'so much': There are too many mistakes in this essay.; I've got so many things to do this morning.; I'd love to come, but I've got too much work to do.; We were having so much fun.
