Introduction
This book is designed to revise and consolidate grammar points at the level of
Cambridge ESOL KET or Common European Framework level A2.
The book can be used as a self-study reference grammar and practice book, or
as supplementary material. If used for classwork, activities can be done
individually or co-operatively in pairs or small groups. It provides a wide
variety of practice, which includes both sentence-based and text-based
formats.
The grammar section includes units on word formation, punctuation and
spelling. There are regular Checkpoint units which provide further
consolidation. The vocabulary section covers essential topics and common
errors.

Reported speech She said that she was leaving. and

What is reported speech?


Direct speech is the exact words that someone says. We can put he/she said before or after
these words. We use speech marks to show the words they said.
Tm leaving at six, she said.

He said, Ok, Ill see you here tomorrow!

Indirect or reported speech is when someone tells us what another person said. We can put
he/she said that before the reported words. We can leave out that. We do not use speech
marks.
She said (that) she was leaving at six. She said she was leaving at six.

Tense changes
When we use a past tense reporting verb (eg said) we change the tenses that follow.

Present simple to past simple


Tim wants some coffee! He said (that) Tim wanted some coffee.
Tim is late!

He said (that) Tim was late.

Present continuous to past continuous


Tm washing my hair! She said (that) she was washing her hair.
will to would
Til be late:

She said (that) she would be late.

Past simple to past perfect


Kate took my keys! He said (that) Kate had taken his keys.

Words that describe people, time and place may also change in reported speech.
Til see you here tomorrow, he said.
He said he would see her there the following day.

This tells us who does the action.
Peter was kidnapped by aliens from another galaxy.
In this sentence; who did it = aliens.

This tells us what was used to do the action.
The door was opened with a special key.
In this sentence; what was used = a special key.

Without an agent
An agent is not always necessary. The agent may be unknown, not important or obvious,

We are interested in the date, but not in the builder.

GRAMMAR

Adjectives tell you more about the size, shape, colour, etc. of nouns. They do not have plural
s or other changes.
It was a lovely day.

These are tasty apples.

He is tall

She is tall

When we use an adjective with a noun, the adjective must


Look at my new
coat! what a lovely hat!
an old man

They

are tall

come before the noun.


Youlucky thing!

a young woman

The article belongs to the noun, not the adjective. So, it is not possible to say: what a lovely, you
lucky, an old, a young.

What's it like?
We use this question when we ask someone to give an opinion about, or describe, something
or someone. We use an adjective in the answer.
Whats your teacher like? Shes fantastic!
Whats Joes house like? Its enormous!

Classes and nationalities


We can use the + adjective to describe a group of people.

Groups of people
the young the old the rich the poor

Some nationalities

the French

the Chinese

the English

the Japanese

the Portuguese

the Dutch

the Welsh

the Swiss

the British

the Irish

the Danish

Other nationalities use noun plurals.


the Italians the Turks the Greeks the Germans the Americans

Verbs of sensation
We use adjectives with verbs of sensation: feel, look, taste, smell sound.
This tastes good.
It feels very soft.

I feel ill

This cheese smells bad.

Comparative adjectives compare two things.


She is a faster runner than John.

Superlative adjectives compare one thing in a group with all the other things in that
group.
She is the fastest runner in the world. He is the tallest man I know.

We can use a superlative without a noun.


Which cake is the biggest? I think this dress is the prettiest.

We usually use the before a superlative, but we can use a possessive {my, your, his,
her etc.).
Jane is wearing her best dress. Peter is my youngest brother.

Forming superlative adjectives

One-syllable word: add -est to the adjective.


long -------------------- longest
This is the longest river in our country.

One-syllable words ending with one consonant: double the final consonant.

Words ending in consonant + y: change y to i.
