Giving instructions -ELCS

G iving Instructions We use the imperative form to give orders or directions in English. “Eat your vegetables!” “Turn left and go straight on.” We can also use the imperative form to give a warning or advice, and (if you use “please”) to make a request. “Practise English for ten minutes a day!” “Be careful!” “Please take a seat.” To make the imperative, use the infinitive of the verb without ‘to’: “ Come  here!” “ Sit  down!” To make a negative imperative, put “do not” or “don’t” before the verb. (Don’t is more informal than “do not”.) “ Don’t  go!” “ Do not  walk on the grass.” Giving instructions You often see the imperative form in instruction manuals or when someone tells you how to do something. There are often “sequencing” words to show the steps in the process. For example, “firstly”, “secondly” and “finally”. Simple instructions to replace a light bulb Firstly , turn off the electricity.

Unit-2 -SPELLING RULES- MISSPELT WORDS

SPELLING RULES Words in English are not always spelled as they are pronounced. Spelling in English follows some basic rules and the majority of English words (around 75%) follow these rules. You can learn the rules but there are always exceptions to the rules that need to be learned too. The main basic spelling rules of English relate to: prefixes and suffixes; spelling and plurals; doubling letters; dropping and adding letters; verb forms. This section focuses on British English but also covers some basic differences in spelling between British and American English. Spelling: prefixes When there is a prefix, we do not normally add or take away more letters: dis + obey   → disobey mis + spell   → misspell dis + satisfied   → dissatisfied over + hear   → overhear in + humane   → inhumane super + human   → superhuman in + sane   → insane un + natural   → unnatural inter + national   → international un + sure   → unsure mis + rule   → ...
