GRAMMAR-PRACTICE-DIALOG
The Seasons

Spring There are four seasons: spring, summer, fall, and


winter. In the U.S.A. the spring months are: March,
April, and May. In spring, plants and trees turn green
and there are flowers of many colors. Mr. Brown sows
the seeds for the crops. He plants wheat, corn,
oats, and barley. The summer months are June, July,
and August. It’s very hot in the summer; the days are
long, and the nights are short. Mr. Brown is ready to
gather his crops next season. He has a truck farm
full of vegetables. He has cauliflower, onions, celery,
Summer artichokes, pumpkins, parsley, radishes, asparagus,
lettuce, and other vegetables.

He also has fruit trees: peach trees, plum trees, cherry


trees, apple trees, fig trees, and pear trees. Millie and Joe
like fruit very much.

Fall comes after summer. The fall months are


September, October, and November. In fall, the
leaves change color; they turn yellow and brown,
and fall off the trees. Fall is harvest time; the crop is
plentiful. Mr. Brown has a great deal of work; he is
going to sell part of the grain in the market, and store
the rest to feed his animals in the winter.

Fall Winter is the cold season. The winter months are


December, January, and February. In winter, Mr.
Brown and his family have to stay indoors almost all the
time. It snows, it rains, and the wind becomes cold; the
days are short, and the nights are long. The Browns like
to sit by the fire at night.

In winter, the cows and horses stay in the stable. Mr.


Winter Brown feeds them hay and oats from the barn.

The Human Body


head
ing
The principal parts of the human body are the head, the
torso, and the four limbs: arms and legs. The head is the
face
neck most important part of the human body; it contains the
brain which controls thought, memory, feelings, and
chest arm activity.

The neck joins the head to the torso, which holds vital
internal organs: the heart, the lungs, the liver, and
navel others.

abdomen The organ of touch is the skin; it is the body’s largest


organ.We feel with our skin. Hair and nails are products
(stomach)
of the skin.
hip waist
On both sides of the head we have the ears, the organs of
hearing. On the front part of the face, below the
forehead, we have the organs of sight: the eyes. The
leg hand eyes are protected by the eyelashes, the eyelids, and the
eyebrows. The organ of smell, the nose, is also on the
face. Below the nose is the mouth, with lips, teeth, and
tongue. The tongue is the organ of taste. We eat with our
mouth, and we kiss with our lips. Other parts of the face
are the cheeks and the chin.

The main parts of the arm are shoulder, elbow, wrist and
feet hand (each hand has five fingers, all ending in nails).
The leg starts in the hip and follows the thigh, knee, calf,
shin, ankle, and foot (each foot has five toes, all ending in
nails).

We have five senses: sight, hearing, taste, smell, and touch.

No, I can’t. No, she can’t.

“Can” is one of the most commonly used modal verbs in English. It is used to express
ability or opportunity, to request or offer permission, and to show possibility or
impossibility:

ABILITY I can ride a bicycle.


I can’t play the piano.

OPPORTUNITY We can stay at Lisa’s when we go to the countryside.

REQUEST Can you open the window?

PERMISSION You cannot go to that party.

POSSIBILITY Your team can win the game today.

To make a question, you invert the subject and the modal verb.
Can you swim? - Can he swim?

To make a negative sentence, you add not or n’t to the modal verb.
I cannot swim (or I can’t swim.)

Modal verbs do not follow the normal rules for verbs. For example:
Can doesn’t have an Infinitive form.
Can doesn’t add “s” to he, she, it.
I can swim. - He can swim.
Can is always followed by the main verb in simple form. (CAN IS CALLED “AUXILIARY”
BECAUSE IT HELPS US UNDERSTAND THAT VERB.)

The Painting Exhibition

Every year, a painting exhibition takes place at the children’s school. There’s a prize for the
winner. It consists of an easel, canvases, brushes, a palette, and a box of colors. Many
pictures are really excellent. There are some with figures of wild animals; others with scenes
of mountains, oceans, and rivers. The young painters are lovers of nature; they work very
hard and feel encouraged because their parents and teachers praise their ability to paint. Now
they’re eager to know who’s going to win the prize.

yard is the most beautiful in the neighborhood, and they want it to look wonderful for this
special occasion. Mr. Stevens is hanging lights in the trees. The lights are red, blue, and green.
The red ones are the brightest. Grandpa is mowing the lawn, and Bob is trimming the bushes,
but Grandpa works faster than Bob.
Grandma and Joan are making a cake in the kitchen. Grandma’s cakes are always the best.
They are all going to finish everything quickly because they are helping each other. The whole

using a dictionary

ppe n d i

n d i x
Ap
A p APPENDIX 1

HOW TO USE A DICTIONARY

A dictionary is arranged in alphabetical order so that you can find the words that you are looking
up very quickly. Pages are divided into two or three columns. At the top of each page, there are
guidewords to help you know whether the word that you want is on that particular page.

The division of words in English is made by syllables, and the dictionary does it for you. A word that
is pronounced as a single syllable cannot be separated. You will notice that in the dictionary, the
syllables of a word are separated by hyphens or periods. Words of many syllables may have both
primary and secondary stresses, as in pro-le-tar-i-an.

Beside each word, you will find its phonetic spelling. At the beginning of your dictionary, there is a
section called “Pronunciation Key,” which you must study to become familiar with the marks and
phonetic symbols used. This will enable you to produce the correct pronunciation. In English some
consonants have several sounds (time, nation, party), and all the vowels have more than one sound
(cat, war, make).

Immediately following the pronunciation, you will find the part of speech – function – a word is. For
example, n. for noun, adj. for adjective, v. for verb, adv. for adverb, etc. There are words that may
be more than one part of speech, depending on how we use them. For example, the word ‘work’ is
a verb in this sentence: I work hard; but it is a noun in the following: I have a lot of work.

Often a word has more than one definition or is defined by synonyms. When you look up the meaning
of a word, you should choose the meaning that agrees with the use that you want to give to that
particular word. The dictionary indicates the plural of irregular nouns, for example: if you look up the
plural of the word goose, you will find it as follows: goose, pl.: geese.

We hope that these helpful clues on how to use a dictionary will lead you to a better command of
the English language.
