Welcome to the Callan Method
Learning English with the Callan™ Method is fast and effective!
The Callan Method is a teaching method created specifically to improve your English 
in an intensive atmosphere. The teacher is constantly asking questions, so you are 
hearing and using the language as much as possible. When you speak in the lesson, 
the teacher corrects your grammar and pronunciation mistakes, and you learn a lot 
from this correction.
The Callan Method teaches English vocabulary and grammar in a carefully 
programmed way, with systematic revision and reinforcement. In the lesson, there is 
a lot of speaking and listening practice, but there is also reading and writing so that 
you revise and consolidate what you have learned.
With the Callan Method, the teacher speaks quickly so that you learn to understand 
English when it is spoken at natural speed. This also means that everyone is 
concentrating hard all the time.

English in a quarter of the time
The Callan Method can teach English in a quarter of the time taken by any other 
method on the market. Instead of the usual 350 hours necessary to get the average 
student to the level of the Cambridge Preliminary English Test (PET), the Callan 
Method can take as little as 80 hours, and only 160 hours for the Cambridge First 
Certificate in English (FCE).
The method is suitable for students of all nationalities, and ages. It requires no 
equipment (not even a whiteboard) or other books, and can be used for classes at 
private schools, state schools and universities. It is also possible for students to use 
the books to practise with each other when they are not at school.
In addition to this, students can practise their English online using the interactive 
exercises, which are available to students who study at licensed schools. Ask your 
school for details.
The Callan Method in practice
A Callan Method English lesson is probably very different from lessons you have 
done in the past. You do not sit in silence, doing a reading comprehension test or a 
grammar exercise from a book. You do not have ‘free conversation’, where you only 
use the English you already feel comfortable with. Of course, activities like this can 
help you, but you can do them at home with a book, or in a coffee bar. In a Callan 
Method lesson, you are busy with important activities that you cannot do outside 
the classroom. You are listening to English all the time. You are speaking English a 
lot, and all your mistakes are corrected. You learn quickly because you are always 
surrounded by English. There is no silence and no time to get bored or lose your 
concentration. And it is also fun! 
So, what exactly happens in a Callan Method lesson, and how does it work?
The teacher asks you questions
The Callan Method books are full of questions. Each question practises a word, an 
expression, or a piece of grammar. The teacher is standing, and asks the questions 
to the students one by one. You never know when the teacher will ask you, so you 
are always concentrating. When one student finishes answering one question, the 
teacher immediately starts to ask the next question.
The teacher speaks quickly 
The teacher in a Callan Method lesson speaks quickly. This is because, in the real 
world, it is natural to speak quickly. If you want to understand normal English, you 
must practise listening to quick natural speech and become able to understand 
English without first translating into your language. This idea of not translating is at 
the centre of the Callan Method; this method helps you to start thinking in English.
Also, we do not want you to stop and think a lot about the grammar while you are 
speaking. We want you to speak as a reflex, instinctively. And do not worry about 
mistakes. You will, naturally, make a lot of mistakes in the lessons, but Callan Method 
teachers correct your mistakes, and you learn from the corrections. When you go 
home, of course it will help if you read your book, think about the grammar, study 
the vocabulary, and do all the things that language students do at home – but the 
lessons are times to practise your listening and speaking, with your books closed!
The teacher says every question twice, and helps you with the 
answer
In the lesson, the teacher speaks quickly, so we say the questions twice. This way, 
you have another chance to listen if you did not understand everything the first time.
The teacher then immediately says the beginning of the answer. This is to help you 
(and ‘push’ you) to start speaking immediately. So, for example:
Teacher: “Are there two chairs in this room? Are there two chairs in this room? No, 
there aren’t ...”
Student (immediately): “No, there aren’t two chairs in this room; there are twelve 
chairs in this room.”
If the teacher does not ‘push’ you by giving you the beginning of the answer, you 
might start to think too much, and translate into your language.
The teacher will speak along with you all the time while you are saying your answer. 
So, if you forget a word or you are not sure what to say, you will always hear the next 
word or two from the teacher. You should repeat after the teacher, but immediately 
try again to continue with the answer yourself. You must always try to continue 
speaking, and only copy the teacher when you cannot continue alone. That way, you 
will become more confident and learn more quickly. Never simply wait for help from 
the teacher and then copy – you will not improve so quickly.
Long answers, with the same grammar as the question
We want you to practise your speaking as much as possible, so you always make 
complete sentences when you speak in the lesson, using the same grammatical 
structure as in the question. For example:
Teacher: “About how many pages are there in this book?”
Student: “There are about two hundred pages in that book.”
In this way, you are not just answering a question; you are making full sentences with 
the vocabulary and the grammar that you need to learn.
Correction by imitation 
With the Callan Method, the teacher corrects all your mistakes the moment you make 
them. The teacher correctsyou by imitating (copying) your mistake and then saying 
the correct pronunciation/form of the word. For example, if you say “He come from 
Spain”, the teacher quickly says “not come - comes”. This correction by imitation 
helps you to hear the difference between your mistake and the proper English form. 
You should immediately repeat the correct word and continue with your sentence. 
You learn a lot from this correction of your mistakes, and constant correction results 
in fast progress.
Contracted forms
In the lesson, the teacher uses contractions (e.g. the teacher says “I don’t” instead of 
“I do not”). This is because it is natural to use contractions in spoken English and you 
must learn to understand them. Also, if you want to sound natural when you speak, 
you must learn to use contractions. 
Lesson structure
Every school is different, but a typical 50-minute Callan lesson will contain about 35 
minutes of speaking, a 10-minute period for reading, and a 5-minute dictation. The 
reading practice and the dictation are often in the middle of the lesson.
In the reading part, you read and speak while the teacher helps you and corrects 
your mistakes. In the dictation, you practise your writing, but you are also listening 
to the teacher. So, a 50-minute Callan lesson is 50 minutes of spoken English with 
no silence!
No chatting
Although the Callan Method emphasises the importance of speaking practice, this 
does not mean chatting (free conversation). You learn English quickly with the Callan 
Method partly because the lessons are organised, efficient, fast and busy. There is 
no time wasted on chatting; this can be done before or after the lesson. 
Chatting is not a good way to spend your time in an English lesson. First, only some of 
the students speak. Second, in a chat, people only use the English that they already 
know. Third, it is difficult for a teacher to correct mistakes during a conversation.
The Callan Method has none of these problems. All through the lesson, every 
student is listening and speaking, practising different vocabulary and structures, and 
learning from the correction of their mistakes. And nobody has time to get bored!
Repeat, repeat, repeat!
Systematic revision
In your native language, you sometimes read or hear a word that you do not already 
know. You usually need to read or hear this new word only once or twice in order 
to remember it and then use it yourself. However, when you are learning a foreign 
language, things are very different. You need to hear, see and use words and 
grammatical structures many times before you really know them properly. So your 
studies must involve a system of revision (repeating what you have studied before). 
This is absolutely essential. If there is no system of revision in your studies, you will 
forget what you have studied and will not be able to speak or understand better than 
before. 
In every Callan Method lesson, of course you learn new English, practise it, and 
progress through your book. However, you also do a lot of revision so that you can 
really learn what you have studied. Your teacher can decide how much revision your 
class needs, but it will always be an important part of your studies. 
Also, because there is a lot of revision, it is not important for you to understand 
everything the first time; it gets easier. The revision with Callan is automatic and 
systematic. Every day you do a lot of revision and then learn some new English.
Revision in reading and dictation too
The reading and dictation practice in the lessons is part of Callan’s systematic revision 
as well. First, you learn a new word in the speaking part of the lesson; a few lessons 
later, you meet it again when you are reading; finally, the word appears in a dictation. 
This is all written into the Callan Method; it happens automatically.
Correcting your dictations
With the Callan Method, there is little or no homework to do, but it is very important 
that you correct your dictations. These are printed in your book and so you can easily 
correct them at home, on the bus, or wherever. It is important to do this because it 
helps you to learn the written forms of the words you have already studied in earlier 
lessons.
Your first lessons with the Callan Method
During your first lesson with the Callan Method, all of the questions and some of the 
vocabulary are new for you; you have not done any revision yet. For this reason, the 
teacher may not ask you many questions. You can sit and listen, and become more 
familiar with the method - the speed, the questions, the correction etc. 
History of the Callan Method – Robin Callan
Robin Callan is the creator of the Callan Method. 
He owns the Callan School in London’s Oxford 
Street. He also runs Callan Publishing Limited, which 
supplies Callan Method books to schools all over 
the world.
Robin Callan grew up in Ely, Cambridgeshire, England. 
In his early twenties, he went to Italy to teach English 
in Salerno. Although he enjoyed teaching, Robin thought that the way in which 
teachers were expected to teach their lessons was inefficient and boring. He became 
very interested in the mechanisms of language learning, and was sure that he could 
radically improve the way English was taught. 
He remained in Italy and started to write his own books for teaching English. He 
used these in his own classes and, over the following ten years, gained an immense 
amount of practical experience and a reputation for teaching English quickly and 
effectively. 
When he returned to England, he opened his school in Oxford Street. As the method 
became more and more popular with students, the school grew and moved to larger 
premises. Robin continued to write his Callan Method books, and today the method 
is used by schools all over the world.
Robin Callan has always been passionate about English literature, especially poetry. 
For this reason, he bought The Orchard Tea Garden in Grantchester, near Cambridge, 
which attracts thousands of tourists each year. Throughout the 20th century, it 
was a popular meeting place for many famous Cambridge University students and 
important figures from English literature, such as Rupert Brooke, Virginia Woolf and 
E.M. Forster. Today, it is also home to the Rupert Brooke Museum.
Mr Callan now lives in Grantchester, but still plays an active role in the management 
of the Callan School in London.
The Callan School in London’s Oxford Street
The largest private school in London 
The Callan School in Oxford Street is the largest private school in London teaching 
English as a foreign language. Depending on the time of year, the school employs 
between 60 and 100 teachers and has an average of 1600 students passing through 
its doors every day. This number rises to more than 2000 in the middle of summer, 
similar to a small university.

Comparatives and superlatives of adjectives, participles 
and adverbs
Most adjectives of two syllables which have the stress on the first syllable 
form their comparatives and superlatives by adding “-er” and “-est”. For 
example, “clever – cleverer – cleverest” and “simple – simpler – simplest”.
Most adjectives 
of … by adding “-er” and “-est”
narrow – narrower – narrowest;
 happy – happier – happiest
However, adjectives ending in “-ful” or “-less” form their comparatives 
and superlatives by using “more than” and “the most”. For example, 
“helpful – more helpful – the most helpful” and “careless – more careless 
– the most careless”.
The adjectives 
of … are those ending in “-ful” or “-less”
careful – more careful – the most careful; 
useless – more useless – the most useless 
Some adjectives are made from the participles of verbs. For example, “a 
surprising result” or “an interested child”. These adjectives form their 
comparatives and superlatives by using “more than” and “the most”. For 
example, “boring – more boring – the most boring” and “pleased – more 
pleased – the most pleased”.
We form the … by using 
“more than” and “the most”
exciting – more exciting – the most 
exciting; tired – more tired – the most tired
There are some exceptions to these rules, but if you are not sure how to 
form the comparative and superlative of an adjective, it is best to use 
“more than” and “the most”.

LESSON 128
Using nouns as adjectives
We can often use a noun as an adjective in English simply by putting it 
immediately before another noun, as in the expression “train station“. 
When we do this, the word “train“ becomes an adjective to describe the 
noun “station“. For example, a shoe shop is a shop; the word “shoe“ tells 
us what it sells. A book cover is a cover for a book. 
Sometimes, these expressions are used so often that they eventually 
become one word. For example, “ashtray“, “bedroom“, “toothbrush“ etc.
We can … 
by putting it immediately before another noun
window cleaner, cat basket,

thus
The word “thus” can mean “therefore”. For example, “He was busy with 
work, and thus could not go to the theatre”. “Thus” can also mean “in 
this way”, in which case it is followed by the “-ing” form of a verb. For 
example, “The weather was cold and wet, thus spoiling our trip to the 
seaside”. 
The word “thus” 
can mean “therefore” or “in this way”

Do Revision Exercise 57
LESSON 129
Verb + infinitive or “-ing”
Sometimes in English, a verb is immediately followed by another verb. For 
example, “I enjoy swimming” or “I want to swim”. The second verb must 
be either an infinitive with “to” or a gerund (“-ing” form).
Some verbs, such as “promise” and “fail”, are always followed by an 
infinitive. For example, “The children promised to behave”, or “I failed to 
notice the sign above the door”.
Other verbs, such as “consider” and “finish”, are always followed by a 
gerund. For example, “Oliver considered taking the train”, or “Elizabeth 
finished reading the newspaper”.
There is no rule to tell you which verbs are followed by an infinitive and 
which ones are followed by a gerund; they need to be learnt one by one.
 In English, if a verb …, 
the second verb must be
 either an infinitive or a gerund
ask, agree, refuse, manage
deny, avoid, practise, miss

We can also use “afraid“ for an apology. For example, a shopkeeper might 
say to a customer “I’m afraid we haven’t got the size you want, sir“.
I’m afraid I can’t help you

LESSON 130 
Compound adjectives compound
Sometimes, words can be put together to make compound adjectives. For 
example, a child that behaves well can be called “a well-behaved child“. 
The phrase “well-behaved“ is a compound adjective. 
One common way of making compound adjectives is by putting an adverb 
or adjective together with a participle. For example, a wedding that has 
been planned badly could be called “a badly planned wedding”. 
a beautifully 
designed jacket, a slow-moving train
I think … is more important 
than … for a long-lasting marriage
… is the most …
Sometimes, we make compound adjectives by putting an adjective 
together with a noun that has the letters “ed“ after it. For example, a girl 
with long hair can be called a long-haired girl.
a four-legged animal, a blue-eyed baby 
Yes, I live … ~ No, I don’t live …

currency unit penny pence
The currency of a country is the particular money that is used in that

of currency is the penny. A hundred pennies (or more commonly “pence“) 
make a pound.
The main … is the …
In the UK, a hundred 
pence make a pound
We use the word “penny“ to talk about the penny coin itself. The plural 
is “pennies“. If you are holding six pennies in your hand, you are holding 
six coins. However, we use the word “pence“ to talk about value. For 
example, we say “This cake cost ninety pence“.
We use the word “penny“ to talk 
about the penny coin itself, whereas 
we use the word “pence“ to talk about value 
Instead of saying “pence“, people usually just say “p“. For example, “This 
pencil cost 70p“.
People usually say 
“p“ instead of “pence“
Could you possibly lend me 60p, please?

Doubling consonants Suffix
Sometimes, we need to double the final consonant of a word before 
we can add a suffix beginning with a vowel. We do this when a word of 
one syllable ends in a single consonant preceded by a single vowel. For 
example, “big – bigger“, “hit – hitting“, “fit – fitted“ etc.
We need to ... 
when a word of one syllable ends
 in a single consonant preceded by a single vowel
sad – sadder, 
fat – fattest, run – running

Notice the way in which we can answerthe following: “Which of these 
books do you want?“ – “Either of them. It doesn’t matter; they are both 
equally interesting“, or “Neither of them; they are both very boring“.

Unfinished sentences ending with “to”
Sometimes we leave a sentence unfinished, ending it with the word “to“. 
For example, instead of saying “She didn’t kiss him, but she wanted to 
kiss him“, we can say “She didn’t kiss him, but she wanted to“. We do 
this with verbs that are followed by the infinitive with “to“, including the 
auxiliaries “ought to“, “used to“ and “have to“. 
He doesn’t know if he’ll see 
her at the party but he’s hoping to
I don’t want ... ought to do it

“The” + adjective = noun
Sometimes, we can use an adjective as a noun by putting the definite 
article “the” before the adjective. For example, instead of saying “young 
people”, we can say “the young”. A noun formed in this way is always 
plural and takes a plural verb. 
Yes, 
I think …
Yes, the very old …
We can do the same thing with certain nationalities. For example, instead 
of “English people” we can talk about “the English”. This can be done 
with adjectives ending in “sh“, “ch“, “ese“ or “ss“. For example, “the 
Spanish“, “the French“, “the Chinese“, “the Swiss” etc.
The French, 
the Italians, the Chinese etc. are …

underneath unlike
The difference between “under“ and “underneath“ is the same as that 
between “after“ and “afterwards“. “Underneath“ means “under that“ 
or “under it“, and, unlike the word “under“, it does not usually need to 
be followed by any other words. For example, instead of saying “I knelt 
down by the car and looked under it“, we can say “I knelt down by the car 
and looked underneath“.
The difference … “underneath“ means 
“under that“ or “under it“, and … it does not 
usually need to be followed by any other words
I knelt down by the car and looked 
under it ! I knelt down ... underneath

LESSON 132
still yet annoyance
As we already know, we use the word “still“ for something that is in 
progress at the moment, whereas we use “yet“ for something that has 
not begun or happened. This means that “still“ is generally used in positive 
sentences, whereas “yet“ is generally used in negative and interrogative 
sentences.
However, it is possible to use “still“ in negative sentences. For example, 
instead of saying “He hasn’t done the work yet“, we can say “He still hasn’t 
done the work“. This communicates a feeling of surprise or annoyance, 
and the word “still“ is stressed in the sentence.
The word “still“ … 
surprise or annoyance …
I’ve explained it a hundred
 times but he still doesn’t understand!
“Still“ can also be used in questions. For example, “Are you still living in 
London?“. This can also communicate a feeling of surprise or annoyance, 
but only if there is a heavy stress on the word “still“ in the question. For 
example, “Are you still in the bathroom, Jane? Please hurry up!“.
Yes, the word 
“still“ can …
It’s nearly midnight. 
Are you still working?
Sometimes, we use the words “still“, or more commonly “even“, in 
a comparative structure in order to communicate that something is 
surprising. For example, “My brother is tall, but my uncle is still taller“, or 
“We’re driving fast but we need to drive even faster to avoid being late“.
729
We use … to communicate
 that something is surprising

LESSON 133
Further uses of the verb “wish”
We use the verb “wish” followed by the word “would” when we are 
unhappy or irritated about something that is happening and we want the 
situation to change. For example, if somebody is irritating us by making 
a lot of noise and we want them to be quiet, we can say “I wish he would 
be quiet”. If we are unhappy because it is raining and we want it to stop, 
we can say “I wish it would stop raining”. 
We use the verb “wish” … when we are 
unhappy or irritated about something that is
 happening and we want the situation to change
I wish they would hurry 
up and finish the job! I wish my 
dad would send me some money!
In formal written English, “wish” can be followed by the infinitive with 
“to”, with the meaning of “want” or “would like”. For example, “I wish 
to complain” means “I would like to complain”.
We use the verb “wish” …
 in formal written English
It means “want” or “would like”
We wish to inform 
you that your payment has been received
We can also use “wish” to communicate the idea that we want something 
good to happen to somebody. For example, “I wished her good luck in her 
exam”, or “Don’t forget to wish them a pleasant journey”.

steal rob robbery thief mask
Although the verbs “steal“ and “rob“ are quite similar in meaning, there 
is a difference in grammar, as follows:

“rob“ somebody (or somewhere) “of“ something
For example, we can say “The thief stole my watch from me“ or “The thief 
robbed me of my watch“.

Changing the letter “y” to “i” tidiness
One useful spelling rule to remember is that when a word ends in the 
letter “y“ with a consonant before it, we change the “y“ to “i“ when 
adding a suffix. For example, “study – studied“. The exception to this rule 
is when we add the suffix “-ing“. In this case, the “y“ does not change. For 
example, “study – studying“.
When we add …, 
we change the “y“ to “i“
b – a – b – i – e – s 
t – i – d – i – n – e – s – s 
The exception … the suffix “ing“
c – a – r – r – y – i – n – g 
If a word ends in the letter “y“ with a vowel before it, the“y“ does not 
change to “i“ when we add a suffix. For example, “delay – delays“. 
When we add …,

Present perfect continuous: evidence of recent activity
As we already know, we can use the perfect continuous tenses to 
communicate the duration of an action up to a particular point. For 
example, “I have been working for one hour so far“. 
In addition, we can use the present perfect continuous when there is 
evidence now of a recent activity. For example, “Look at Lucy’s eyes; I 
think she’s been crying“ or “The road’s wet. It’s been raining“.
Look at David; he’s covered in mud. 
I think he’s been working in his garden.
We can tell …

When we …, we can tell …

LESSON136
Was + infinitive with “to”
“Was“ (or “were“) followed by an infinitive with “to“ expresses a future 
event in relation to a point in the past. For example, “I did not realize 
when we first started this job that it was to be so difficult“. 
We trusted him completely, 
but we were to find out later 
that he had been lying all the time

“What” and “which”
We generally use “which“ when we are considering a limited number 
of alternatives, whereas we use “what“ in a more unlimited sense. For 
example, we say “What’s your phone number?“ because there is an 
almost unlimited number of possibilities. However, if we have a piece of 
paper with some phone numbers written on it, we say “Which of these is 
your phone number?“ because there is a limited number of possibilities.
The difference … 
is that … “which“ … limited number of 
alternatives, whereas … “what“ … unlimited sense

Here are some more expressions in English that contain the word “so”:
1) “He said the train had left, but it was not so.“ 
Here, the word “so“ means “true“. 
2) “So, you’ve got a new job, I hear!“ 
Here, the word “so“ is used to start a conversation on a particular 
subject.
3) “It so happens I have just the thing you are looking for.“

When we say “We barely …“, 
we mean we only just had time to eat
go back come back go in come in
return enter descend overcome
go down come down
Sometimes it can be difficult to know when to use the verb “go back“ and 
when to use “come back“, or when to use “go in“ and when to use “come 
in“. Some students have a similar confusion with the words “bring“ and 
“take“. The problem exists because, with these verbs, the correct choice 
depends mainly on where the speaker is at the time.
For example, if, at the time of speaking, I was at the school,I would say 
“After the lesson tomorrow, I’ll go back home“, whereas if I were at home, 
I would say “After the lesson tomorrow, I’ll come back home“.
768
769
If you really cannot decide which verb to use, one way to overcome the 
problem is to use the verb “return“ instead of “go back“ or “come back“, 
and the verb “enter“ instead of “go in“ or “come in“. However, “return“ 
and “enter“ are quite formal words in English, so only do this if you feel 
you have to.
The difficulty with … 
is that the correct choice 
of verb depends mainly on …
One way … 
is by using “return“ instead of “go back“ or 
“come back“, and “enter“ instead of “go in“ or “come in“
The same difficulty exists with the verbs “go down“ and “come down“, so 
you can use “descend“ instead. However, remember that using the word 
“descend“ sounds quite formal in English.
We can use the word “descend“ instead of …
case barrister
We call … a barrister
(just) in case risk run a risk
The expression “in case“, or “just in case“, means “in preparation for the 
possibility that …“. For example, if we say “Here is my phone number in 
case you need to call me“, we mean “in preparation for the possibility 
that you need to call me“. If you need to call, you will already be prepared 
because you will have my number.
The expression “in case“ 
means “in preparation for the possibility that …“
I left home early in 
case there were any transport problems
770
Do you carry an umbrella in case it rains, or are you the kind of person 
I carry … ~ No, 
I don’t carry …; I’m the kind of …
The expression “just in case“ can be used at the end of a sentence if it is 
obvious what we mean. For example, “Here’s my mobile number, just in 
case“ obviously means “Here’s my mobile number in case you need to call 
me“.
please. I was sure there was enough 
petrol in the car but I put in some more, just in case
Do not confuse the expression “in case“ with the expression “in case 
of“. We use “in case of“ with the meaning of “if and when something 
happens“. For example, “In case of fire, leave the building immediately“ 
means “If and when there is a fire, leave the building immediately“.
In case of any problems, please contact me immediately

Questions without the question form
Who helped you?
When asking a question in English, we do not always use the question 
form. However, this is only when a question word, such as “who“, “what“ 
or “which“, is the subject in the sentence. For example, the sentence 
“Who did you help?“ uses the question form because the subject is the 
word “you“. However, the question “Who helped you?“ doesn’t use the 
question form because the subject is the word “who“. 
No, we don’t always …
We don’t … when a 
question word, such as “who“, 
“what“ or “which“, is the subject of the verb

do someone a favour That’s all right
Not at all It’s nothing
You’re welcome Don’t mention it
No problem
When we give something to someone or do someone a favour, and they say 
“Thank you“, there are many ways in which we can reply. Some common 
expressions we can use are “That’s all right“, “That’s OK“, “Not at all“, 
“It’s nothing“, “You’re welcome“, “Don’t mention it“, or “No problem“. 
When we …, we can reply 
“That’s all right“, “That’s OK“, “Not at all“, “It’s nothing“, 
“You’re welcome“, “Don’t mention it“, or “No problem“ 
up tear – tore – torn
When we add the word “up“ to a verb, it sometimes gives it the meaning 
of doing the action more completely. For example, the sentence “I broke 
the piece of wood“ could mean that I broke it only once, but “I broke up 
the piece of wood“ means that I broke it into many smaller pieces.
778
When we add …, 
it sometimes gives the verb the 
meaning of doing the action more completely

When we add the suffix “-ish“ to an adjective, it means “rather“ or “more 
or less“. For example, “France is not exactly a big country, like Russia or the 
USA, but it’s biggish compared with countries like England and Scotland“.
The suffix “-ish“ gives the meaning of “rather“ 
or “more or less“ when we add it to an adjective
The door is not exactly green, 
but it’s greenish
We can also use the suffix “-ish“ to mean “about“ when we say a time 
of day. For example, if someone says that they will come to your house at 
“eightish“, they mean “about eight“.

“Some” in questions
We sometimes use the words “some“, “somebody“ and “something“ in 
questions instead of the usual “any“, “anybody“ and “anything“. We 
generally do this when we expect a positive answer, and especially when 
we offer something to somebody. For example, “Would you like some 
more tea?“; “Is there somebody here you’re looking for?“; “Would you 
like me to buy you something nice for Christmas?“ etc.
We use “some“ … when we 
expect a positive answer, and especially 
when we offer something to somebody
“Would you like
 some wine with your meal?“; 
“Did somebody just ring the doorbell?“; 
“Would you like something nice for dinner?“

Compound adjectives (continued)
a fifty-minute lesson a four-door car jog
Another common type of compound adjective in English is when, instead 
of saying “The lesson lasted for fifty minutes“, we say “It was a fifty-
minute lesson“, or instead of saying “This car has four doors“, we say 
“This is a four-door car“. In these examples, “fifty-minute“ and “four-
door“ are compound adjectives. 
Instead of …, we can say “He had a two-week holiday“
Instead of …, we can say “Let’s go for a ten-kilometre jog“
With these adjectives, notice that the word after the number is singular, 
not plural. For example, we say “a twenty-page document“, not “a 
twenty-pages document“. This is because the word “page“ is being used 
as an adjective in this phrase, and adjectives in English do not have plural 
forms.

LESSON 142
Two meanings of “quite”
In front of some extreme adjectives, such as “wonderful“ or “terrible“, 
the word “quite“ means “completely“. In this situation, we say the word 
“quite“ with a heavy stress, because we are being emphatic. For example, 
we can say “The weather is quite wonderful!“. In this sentence, the words 
“quite wonderful“ mean “completely wonderful“.
This wine is quite 
excellent! I’m sorry, but what 
you’re asking me to do is quite impossible! 
excuse me I’m sorry
We generally use “Excuse me“ for something that is not very important 
and “I’m sorry“ for a more important apology.
The difference … is that we generally 
use “Excuse me“ for something that is not very
 important, and “I’m sorry“ for a more important apology
When I want to ...,
 I say “Excuse me“
If, in passing, 
I accidentally step …, I say “I’m sorry!“

1) At that time – e.g. I’m going to see him on Thursday, 
so I can give him the news then.
2) Next – e.g. We’ll have dinner first, and then watch TV.
3) In that case – e.g. If you don’t understand, then ask.
The three … 
are “at that time“, “next“ and “in that case“
1) I began studying English last year. 
Before then (i.e. before that time) I did not know a single word.
2) I’ll study first, then go to the cinema.

your �MɅ�� �MɊ�

are �ɂ�� �Ɋ�

In English, many common words have a “strong“ pronunciation form and 
a “weak“ pronunciation form. For example, the strong form of the word 
“can“ is /kæn/, whereas the weak form is /kən/. With the weak form, 
the vowel in the word is usually the sound /ə/, which is the most common 
sound in the English language.
We use the weak pronunciation form of a word when we say the word 
normally in a sentence without any special stress. For example, we say “I 
/kən/ speak three languages”. 
We use the strong pronunciation form when we say the word on its 
own, or when we put stress on the word for some reason. For example, 
if someone says “You can’t speak three languages“, we might reply 
emphatically and say “Yes, I /kæn/!“
 We use … when we say the word 
normally in a sentence without any special stress
I’m taller �êɊQ� you.
I’m going /tə/ the shops now.
I didn’t know she �ZɊ]� here.
We use … when we say the word on its own, 
or when we put stress on the word for some reason

latest last last but one
One important difference between “latest“ and “last“ is that, if I say

book. However, if I say “John Brown’s last book was excellent“, it probably 
means the book he wrote before his new one, or it means his final book 
ever, because he has now retired or died.

useful in certain situations. Four common situations in which we often 
use the passive voice are:

has been stolen!“;
2) when we don’t want to say who does the action: for example, 
“You were seen entering the office without permission“;
3) when it is not important who does the action: for example, “The 
Eiffel Tower was built in 1889“;
4) when it is obvious who does the action: for example, “He was 
arrested for stealing“.

The possessive apostrophe
For people and animals, we almost always use the apostrophe to 
communicate possession. For example, we say “Mr Johnson’s tie“, “my 
uncle’s house“, “the horse’s tail“ etc. We sometimes use it for things as 
well. For example, we can say “The book’s main purpose is to teach“, 
which is the same as saying “The main purpose of the book is to teach“. 
However, for things, we generally communicate possession by using the 
word “of“, and we say, for example, “the door of the house“, or “the 
smell of the food“. 
We generally use the apostrophe 
to communicate possession for people or animals
Steven’s house, the dog’s nose
