MY PREVIOUS KNOWLEDGE
adjectives
adjectives are words that describe or modify other words, making your writing and speaking much more specific, and a whole lot more interesting. Words like small, blue, and sharp are descriptive, and they are all examples of adjectives.
Because adjectives are used to identify or quantify individual people and unique things, they are usually positioned before the noun or pronoun that they modify. Some sentences contain multiple adjectives.
Compound Nouns
The second part identifies the object or person in question. Compound nouns often have a meaning that is different, or more specific, than the two separate words.
Words can be combined to form compound nouns. These are very common, and new combinations are invented almost daily. They normally have two parts. The first part tells us what kind of object or person it is, or what its purpose is.
Reported Speech
If we report what another person has said, we usually do not use the speaker’s exact words (direct speech), but reported (indirect) speech.
Therefore, you need to learn how to transform direct speech into reported speech. The structure is a little different depending on whether you want to transform a state
Direct Speech
Saying exactly what someone has said is called direct speech (sometimes called quoted speech)
Here what a person says appears within quotation marks ("") and should be word for word.
For example:
She said, "Today's lesson is on presentations."
or
"Today's lesson is on presentations", she said
Passive Voice
Is used when in a sentence, the focus is on the action and not who or what is performing the action.
preposition
Words used to link nouns, pronouns or phroses to other words in a sentence
infinitive form
The infinitive form of a verb is the verb in its basic form. It is the version of the verb which will appear in the dictionary.
The infinitive form of a verb is usually preceded by to (e.g., to run, to dance, to think). The infinitive form is not always preceded by to. Look at these examples:
I need to run every day.
present perfect
The present perfect simple expresses an action that is still going on or that stopped recently, but has an influence on the present. It puts emphasis on the result.
past perfect
action taking place before a certain time in the past
(putting emphasis only on the fact, not the duration)
Example: Before I came here, I had spoken to Jack.
