2 GRAMMAR TALKING ABOUT HABITS There are some ways to talk about habits: I. Used to OR would + infinitive General use: We use used to and would to talk about habits or repeated actions in the past. USED TO Used to + infinitive is used to talk about habits or repeated actions in the past. He used to smoke, but now he stops. I used to play soccer with them. Used to (with permanent state) If we talk about state or situation (verbs such as be/ think/ love/ hate/ want, etc), we can only use used to. She used to be an intellectual person. When I was six, I used to love Barbie doll. [English Module, Unit 1] Page 2

II. always + continuous tense is used to talk about things which occur frequently and which the speaker finds annoying. He s always complaining about something! III.

5 ADVERB ORDER We can put adverbs and adverb phrases at the front, in the middle or at the end of a clause. 1. The front position of the clause is the first item in the clause: Suddenly I felt afraid. Yesterday detectives arrested a man and a woman in connection with the murder. 2. The end position of the clause is the last item in the clause: Why do you always have to eat so fast? 3. The mid position is between the subject and the main verb: Apples always taste best when you pick them straight off the tree. 4. Where there is more than one verb, mid position means after the first auxiliary verb or after a modal verb: The government has occasionally been forced to change its mind. (after the first auxiliary verb) You can definitely never predict what will happen. (after a modal verb) We mightn t ever have met. (after the modal verb and before the auxiliary verb) [English Module, Unit 1] Page 5

6 5. In questions, mid position is between the subject and the main verb: Do you ever think about living there? 6. Adverbs usually come after the main verb be, except in emphatic clauses: She s always late for everything. 7. When be is emphasized, the adverb comes before the verb: Why should I have gone to see Madonna? I never was a fan of hers. (emphatic) ADVERBS TO EXPRESS ATTITUDE 1. Annoyingly in a way that causes irritation or annoyance Annoyingly, he was still wearing that smirk, his pale eyes narrowed into near slits. 2.
