II CAN:

"Can" is one of the most commonly used modal verbs in English It can be used to express ability

or opportunity, to request or offer permission, and to show possibility or impossibility

Examples:

 I can ride a horse ability

 We can stay with my brother when we are in Paris opportunity

 She cannot stay out after 10 PM permission

 Can you hand me the stapler? request

However, “can” has only two forms, present Can and past Could So we have to use “be able to do”

when necessary

- But I haven’t been able to sleep recently

III So sánh should và ought to

1 Dạng thức

1.1 Dạng khẳng định:

S+ should + V S+ ought to + V

Ví dụ: You should see a doctor if your cough gets worse (Ông nên đi khám bác sĩ nếu bị honặng hơn.)

You ought to see a doctor if your cough gets worse (Ông nên đi khám bác sĩ nếu bị ho nặnghơn.)

1.2 Dạng phủ định:

S+ should not (shouldn't) + V S+ ought not to (oughtn't to) + V

Ví dụ: Mrs Smith shouldn't keep complaining (Bà Smith không nên tiếp tục phàn nàn nữa.)

Mrs Smith oughtn't to keep complaining (Bà Smith không nên tiếp tục phàn nàn nữa.)

Lưu ý: Dạng thức phủ định của “ought to” không được sử dụng phổ biến bằng dạng thức phủ định

của “should”

1.3 Dạng nghi vấn:

Should +S+V Ought + S + to + V

Ví dụ: Should we care about the environment? (Chúng ta có nên quan tâm tới môi trườngkhông?)

Ought we to care about the environment? (Chúng ta có nên quan tâm tới môi trường không?)

Lưu ý: Dạng thức nghi vấn của “ought to” không được sử dụng phổ biến bằng dạng thức nghi vấn

của “should”

2 Cách sử dụng

2.1 Điểm giống: Cả “should” và “ought to” được sử dụng khi hỏi và đưa ra lời khuyên hoặc gợi ý.

You ought to learn English every day (Bạn nên học tiếng Anh hàng ngày.)

2.2 Điểm khác: Giữa “should” và “ought to” có sự khác biệt nhỏ trong sắc thái của lời khuyên.

Dùng cho lời khuyến mang tính chủ quan, thể

hiện quan điểm cá nhân của người nói

Dùng với những lời khuyên mang yếu tố kháchquan, tức là có sự tác động của ngoại cảnh nhưluật lệ, bổn phận hay quy tắc

Ví dụ: Linda should go to bed early

(Linda nên đi ngủ sớm.)

Ví dụ: Emily ought to finish the report by 10a.m (Emily nên hoàn thành bản báo cáo trước

10 giờ sáng.)

PARTICIPLE + GERUND

A PRESENT PARTICIPLE

I After verbs of perception: See, Hear, Feel, Smell, Notice, Watch, Catch, Find

Examples

- Did you hear someone singing?

- He saw his friend driving past his house this morning

- I can smell something burning!

NOTE: There is a difference in meaning when such a sentence contains a zero-infinitive rather

than a participle The infinitive refers to a complete action, or part of an action.:

- She went shopping

- He lay looking up at the clouds

- She came running towards meThis construction is particularly useful with the verb 'to go', as in these common expressions :

- My boss spends two hours a day travelling to work

- Don't waste time playing computer games!

- They've spent the whole day shopping

- They spend an hour walking through the park every morning

IV With the verbs Catch and Find, in the pattern: Catch/Find Sb Doing/Done

With Catch, the participle always refers to an action which causes annoyance or anger:

- If I catch you stealing my apples again, there'll be trouble!

- Don't let him catch you reading his letters

This is not the case with Find, which is unemotional:

- We found some money lying on the ground

- They found their mother sitting in the garden

V To replace a sentence or part of a sentence:

1 When two actions occur at the same time, and are done by the same person or thing, we can use a present participle to describe one of them:

- They went out into the snow They laughed as they went They went laughing out into thesnow

- He whistled to himself He walked down the road Whistling to himself, he walked downthe road

2 When one action follows very quickly after another done by the same person or thing,

we can express the first action with a present participle:

- He put on his coat and left the house

 Putting on his coat, he left the house

Khi muốn nhấn mạnh sự trước sau thì dùng Having done

- They had spent two hours over dinner before they left the restaurant

 Having spent two hours over dinner, they left the restaurant

Khi nhấn mạnh sự trước sau mà mang nghĩa bị động thi dung Having been done

- Because he had been turned down so many times, Jeff got tired of looking for a job

 Having been turned down so many times, Jeff got tired of looking for a job

- Because the postman had been bitten by our dog twice, he refused to deliver our mail

 Having been bitten by our dog twice, the postman refused to deliver our mail

3 The present participle can be used instead of a phrase starting as, since, because, seeing that and it explains the cause or reason for an action:

- Feeling hungry, he went into the kitchen and opened the fridge

(= because he felt hungry )

- Being poor, he didn't spend much on clothes

- Knowing that his mother was coming, he cleaned the flat

- Crowds were waiting at the airport, hoping to see their pop star arrive

Nếu mang nghĩa bị động thì dùng Being done

- Because the patient was treated by the best doctor, he recovered quickly

 (Being treated) by the best doctor, the patient recovered quickly

Because he was punished by the teacher, he felt very sad

 (Being) punished by the teacher, he felt very sad

4 The present participle can be used instead of a phrase starting Although, Eventhough, Though, and it explains concession.

E.x - Although he possessed all the advantages of education and wealth, he never made a name

 Possessing all the advantages of education and wealth, he never made a name

B GERUND

I Verbs Followed by Gerunds.

- I appreciate having time off work

- I appreciate your giving me time off work

- We didn't anticipate winning this match

Note:

Dread is normally followed by the gerund or a possessive adjective + the gerund The most

common exception is when dread is followed by the infinitive when used with think, in the

expression I dread to think Dread can also be followed by a noun.

EXAMPLES

Excuse, forgive, & pardon can be followed by an object + the gerund or for + an object + the

gerund (both common in spoken English) These three verbs can also be followed by a possessive adjective + the gerund, but this is more formal and less likely to be used in spoken English These

examples are marked with an asterisk (*) Excuse, forgive, & pardon can also be followed by nouns.
