GRAMMAR:
*It will be noticed in this last question that the word "kind" has no "s" on the end. Some people put an "s" on; others do not Many people will add an "s" in certain sentences when followed by a plural noun and not in others. For example, they might say "What kinds of jobs can a youth do better than an old man?" but "What kind of books do you like reading?" As with so much in English, a lot depends on whether something sounds pleasant to the ear and is easy to pronounce. Most people prefer to drop the "s" where possible (saying "six million", for example, instead of "six millions"), as too many "s" sounds together are not very pleasant to the ear.

GRAMMAR:
*As it is sometimes easy to confuse the difference in pronunciation between the words "all" and "whole" in a dictation, it is well to remember that the word "all" is followed by the Definite Article, whilst the word "whole" is preceded by it. For example, we say "all the chicken" but "the whole chicken".
*In the sentence "I bought my suit from Simpson's", we understand that "Simpson" is the name of a shop. It is not necessary to use the word "shop" in such sentences: it is enough just to put an apostrophe and an "s" after the name of the shop.

SENTENCE STRUCTURED:
-I went to the park this morning to clean.
-Me and my co-workers are volunteers to clean the park.

-I got my watch from Loft's.
-The verb "to account for" means "to explain the reason for".
-We account for the fact that it's light during the day whilst it's dark during the night by the fact that the earth moves round the sun and turns round and round as it does so. For about half the 24 hours, one side of the earth is facing the sun, whilst, for the next half, it is away from the sun.

レッスンで出てきた文法・単語Grammar:
*The three additional meanings of the verb "tell", besides meaning the same as "say", are - to inform, to order, and to relate. 

*Another difference between "say" and "tell" is that we generally use "tell" when we speak to somebody, whilst we use "say" when we are not speaking to anyone in particular. 

*For Direct Speech, we use the verb "say" 

*There's no real difference in meaning between the words "older" and "elder", except that generally, when speaking about people-in the same family, we prefer to use the word "elder"; and elder can only be used when speaking about people 

*We double the final consonant of an adjective in forming its comparative and its superlative when it ends in a single consonant preceded by a single vowel. For example, - thin - thinner - thinnest 

*When an adjective ends in a consonant plus y, the y is changed to i. For example, - happy - happier - happiest

レッスンで出てきた文法・単語GRAMMAR:
The complete imperative of the verb "to take" is - let me take; take; let him take; let her take; let it take; let us take; take; let them take
We form the negative of the imperative by using "do not". For example, "Don't let him open it before Christmas!"

We form the Past, Present and Future Perfect Progressive Tenses by using the verb "to have" with the word "been" and the Present Participle of the main verb. For example, "I have been studying for two hours".Another name for these tenses is the Duration Form

We use the ordinary Progressive Tense when we only wish to express a continuous action, whilst we use the Perfect Progressive Tense when we wish to add how long the action has been in progress. For example, "I was working when he came" becomes "I had been working for two hours when he came"

We use the Perfect Progressive Tense for an action that began in the past and is still in progress, and when we wish to say how long the action has been in progress for. For example, "I have been working for two hours - and I am still working"

A Tail Question is formed by repeating the auxiliary verb in the main part of the sentence. If the main part is positive, the Tail Question must be negative. For example, "He's a young man, isn't he ?"
When a sentence contains no auxiliary verb, we use "do" in the Tail Question. For example, "They come here every Thursday, don't they?"
When a Tail Question is in the negative, the kind of answer we expect is positive. For example, "He runs very fast, doesn't he?" - "Yes, he does"
When a Tail Question is in the positive, the kind of answer we expect is negative. For example, "He doesn't run very fast, does he?" - "No, he doesn't"
