SUBJECT/OBJECT QUESTIONS            OBJECT QUESTIONS These are the most common questions. Have a look at the structure: Question Word + Auxiliary + Subject + Verb + Optional Object or Complement + ? The Question Words are usually: what, where, when, who, why, which, how. Example: What did you see last Saturday evening on TV? SUBJECT QUESTIONS These are not the most common but you can find them anywhere and at any time: Question Word + Verb + Optional Object or Complement + ? The Question Words can be WHO or WHAT, because they can be the subject of the question. REMEMBER: Where, when, why (etc.) can't be the subject of any question. Example: " Who  won the Eurovision Contest 2008?" " Russia ". As you can see, the answer of the question is the IDENTITY of the QUESTION WORD "Who". That's why we call these questions SUBJECT QUESTIONS. Another Explanation Exercise 1 EXERCISE 2   EXERCISE 3

By being able to complete this poem, you’ll be speaking English better than 90% of the English native speakers around the world. After trying the challenge of this poem, it’s claimed that one Frenchman said he’d rather six months hard labour than six lines read aloud. Are you wondering what all the fuss is about? Try it for yourself. Dearest creature in creation, Study English pronunciation. I will teach you in my verse Sounds like corpse, corps, horse, and worse. I will keep you, Suzy, busy, Make your head with heat grow dizzy. Tear in eye, your dress will tear. So shall I! Oh hear my prayer. Just compare heart, beard, and heard, Dies and diet, lord and word, Sword and sward, retain and Britain. (Mind the latter, how it’s written.) Now I surely will not plague you With such words as plaque and ague. But be careful how you speak: Say break and steak, but bleak and streak; Cloven, oven, how and low, Script, receipt, show, poem, and toe. ...

Must or Have to We can use 'must' to show that we are certain something is true. We are making a logical deduction based upon some clear evidence or reason. There's no heating on. You must be freezing. You must be worried that she is so late coming home. I can't remember what I did with it. I must be getting old. It must be nice to live in Florida. We also use 'must' to express a strong obligation. When we use 'must' this usually means that some personal circumstance makes the obligation necessary (and the speaker almost certainly agrees with the obligation.) I must go to bed earlier. They must do something about it. You must come and see us some time. I must say, I don't think you were very nice to him. We can also use 'have to' to express a strong obligation. When we use 'have to' this usually means that some external circumstance makes the obligation necessary. I have to arrive at work at 9 sharp. My bos...

BRITISH SUPERSTITIONS 1. Magpies In the UK, magpies aren’t just known for being noisy – and having a taste for shiny things – as this well-known 18th century rhyme explains… One for sorrow Two for joy Three for a girl Four for a boy Five for silver Six for gold Seven for a secret, never to be told This refers to the number of magpies you see. Even if you’re not the superstitious type, once you’ve heard the rhyme, you might find yourself searching desperately for that second bird every time you see a flash of black and white! Some people say that you can reduce the ‘bad luck’ from seeing one magpie by saying a special rhyme, touching wood, blowing the magpie a kiss or saluting it. 2. Mirrors Be careful when you’re handling a mirror in the UK – superstition suggests you'll get seven years of bad luck if you break one! Mirrors were once believed to be windows into other worlds – often worlds where things were the wrong way around. People may also have been frigh...
