1 the FOCUS ON GRAMMAR unit Focus on Grammar introduces grammar structures in the context of unified themes. All units follow a four-step approach, taking learners from grammar in context to communicative practice. STEP 1 GRAMMAR IN CONTEXT This section presents the target structure(s) in a natural context. As students read the high-interest texts, they encounter the form, meaning, and use of the grammar. Before You Read activities create interest and elicit students knowledge about the topic. After You Read activities build students reading vocabulary and comprehension. 11 UNIT Simple Present: Yes / No Questions Shopping for Electronics STEP 1 GRAMMAR IN CONTEXT Before You Read PAIRS: Name one electronic device (TV, DVD player, cell phone, computer) that you have and one you don t have but want to get. Read Read the conversation. AMANDA: Uh... Steve, that TV is pretty old. Do you need a new one? Do you want a flat screen TV? STEVE: No, I don t think so. This old TV works very well. AMANDA: How about a smart phone? Do you want a smart phone? Josh and I use our smart phones all the time. STEVE: Not really. Why? AMANDA: There s a huge sale at Goodbuys. It starts today. STEVE: Goodbuys? Do you mean the store on Main Street? AMANDA: Uh-huh. Everything is 30 percent off. They have some great deals.* STEVE: I don t need anything. People have too many things. AMANDA: Well, what about Jessica? Does she need anything? Does she have a GPS? They re really helpful. Do Tim, Jeremy, or Ben want anything? STEVE: I don t know. Amanda, why are you telling me about Goodbuys? Do you work there? AMANDA: Actually, I do. I m a new manager. STEVE: Really? That s great. Wait a second. Do they fi x things? AMANDA: Yes, they do. The service department is great. STEVE: Well, that sounds good. My radio doesn t work. AMANDA: Uh... Steve. Is that the radio? STEVE: Yes. AMANDA: Steve! That radio is older than all of our technicians. I m not sure they can fix it. * great deals: things you can buy at a very low price 98 UNIT 11 UPDATED! Vocabulary exercises improve students command of English. Vocabulary is recycled throughout the unit. After You Read A Practice PAIRS: Practice the opening conversation.

2 STEP 2 GRAMMAR PRESENTATION This section gives students a comprehensive and explicit overview of the grammar with detailed Grammar Charts and Grammar Notes that present the form, meaning, and use of the structure(s). Grammar Charts present the structure in a clear, easy-to-read format. STEP 2 GRAMMAR PRESENTATION PAST OF BE: AFFIRMATIVE STATEMENTS Affirmative Statements Grammar Notes give concise, simple explanations and examples to ensure students understanding. was were I was at a movie last night. He was at home. She was at the gym. It was hot. We were at a birthday party yesterday. You were great in the play. You and Ryan were both wonderful. They were at the soccer game. GRAMMAR NOTES PAST OF BE: NEGATIVE STATEMENTS 1 Use the present progressive to talk about an action that is happening now. The president is talking. I m listening to her. Negative Statements Now was not I was not at home last night. He wasn t at a movie. She wasn t at the library. It wasn t cold yesterday. were not We were not at home last night. You weren t in class yesterday. They weren t at the library yesterday. REDESIGNED! 2 Past She s talking. Future Use a form of be + the verb + -ing to form the present progressive. I am listening. (listen) She is talking. (talk) YES / NO QUESTIONS Yes / No Questions Short Answers was / were Affirmative Negative Was I right? Yes, you were. No, you weren t. Note: If the base verb ends in -e, drop the -e and add -ing. If the base verb is one syllable and it ends in consonant + vowel + consonant, double the last consonant. Then add -ing. He is writing. (write) She is running. (run) They re sitting. (sit) We re shopping (shop) Was he at home? Yes, he was. No, he wasn t. Was she at the game? Yes, she was. No, she wasn t. Was it cold yesterday? Yes, it was. No, it wasn t. ExcEptions: Do not double the last consonant if it is w, x, or y. We re growing tomatoes. He s fixing his computer. She s playing ball. Were we right? Yes, you were. No, you weren t. Were you at home? Yes, I was. No, I wasn t. Were they at the game? Yes, they were. No, they weren t. 3 We often use contractions in speaking and informal writing. He s playing cards. I m reading. They re smiling. 4 Use a form of be + not + the verb + -ing for negative statements. I m not wearing a hat. There are two contractions for is not and are not. Jeremy isn t talking. or He s not talking. Annie and Ben aren t reading. or They re not reading. 60 UNIT 7 5 Be, have, like, need, and want are non-action (stative) verbs. We usually use these verbs in the simple present, not the present progressive. Note: Look at Units 10 and 11 for more practice with these verbs. Ali is a lawyer. Not: Ali is being a lawyer. Septi likes apples. Not: Septi is liking apples. Bob doesn t have a car. Not: Bob isn t having a car. 6 When you want to connect one subject with two verbs, do not repeat a form of be. He s eating and watching TV. Not: He s eating and is watching TV. Additional Notes provide information about spelling, common errors, and 140 UNIT differences 15 between spoken and written English. viii The Focus on Grammar Unit
