The difference between "few" and "a few" is that the word "few" means "not many", whilst the words "a few" mean "some, but not many".

The 9 ways in which the Special Verbs differ from other verbs are:1 They form their interrogative by putting the verb before the subject, e. Am I your teacher? I cannot understand it 3 They are the only verbs that can be used in Tail Questions, e. You have a pen, haven't you? They were eating 5 They are used for short answers, e. Yes, I will 6 They are used in End Constructions, e. My brother has a car, and so have I 7 They are used when we wish to be emphatic, e.
My husband will be pleased to see you 8 They are often followed, instead of preceded, by certain adverbs, e. I have always kept my promises 9 They do not take "s" in the third person singular except "do" , e. A simple sentence is one which contains only one finite verb. A compound sentence is one which consists of two or more sentences joined together by a conjunction, such as the words "and" or "but".
A clause is a group of words which contains a finite verb, but does not make complete sense by itself. Subordinate clauses are joined to principal clauses by conjunctions. We use the "to" infinitive after an adjective, a past participle, a noun, or a pronoun. By a preparatory "it" we mean that the word "it" is used to prepare ourselves for a phrase which is going to follow. When we change a question from Direct into Indirect Speech, we use a verb like "ask" instead of "say"; we do not use a question mark; and we put the subject before the verb.
When we change a command from Direct into Indirect Speech, we use words like "told, commanded, ordered"; and, in the case of a negative command, the "do not" becomes simply "not". When we change requests from Direct into Indirect Speech, we use the same construction as with commands, and use words like "ask" or" request". An Emphasising Pronoun is a pronoun that could be left out of a sentence, but is put in to make what is said stronger.
The difference between a Defining and a Non-Defining Clause is that a Defining Clause is essential to the meaning of a sentence, whereas a Non-Defining Clause is not essential to the meaning of a sentence. We add the letters "es" to form the plural of a noun and the third person singular of a verb when a word ends in o: s: x: y: z or ze : ch, or sh, that is, a word that ends in one of the sounds o: s: ks: i: z: ts or sh.
We generally form the plural of nouns ending in "f or "fe" by changing the endings to "ves". For example, leaf- leaves, wife-wives. An antecedent is a noun for which a Relative Pronoun stands. The word antecedent means "going before". Who, Whom With a transitive verb, the action passes from the subject, through the verb, to the object.
With an intransitive verb, the action of the verb finishes with itself and does not pass to an object. The car hit the wall What a man! There is no article What books! When the sentence is negative we can use either "could" or "was able" The difference when used as a normal This room needs cleaning Need this room be cleaned?
Need he go at once? I hardly need ask if you were successful, you look so pleased Life is hard. Dogs are friendly animals. Brown comes from England. The life that man lives is hard. Brown, but it's wrong. The meaning of the word "use" in The meaning of the word "nothing" in Your name's My name's His name's Mr.
