Homework: Units 7-8 test

p. 105 part 3 - Discuss these questions with your partner.
---
Vocabulary: money

What are the opposites of these words?
buy - sell
withdraw - deposit
lend - borrow
(give - take)
save - spend
stingy (for a person) - generous
cheap (for a thing) - expensive
economical - uneconomical
poor - rich

p. 106 part 1 - Discuss with your partner(s) whether these statements are true and why or why not. (If none of you understand a word, use a dictionary, not a translator.)

The ‘b’ is silent in “debt” and “doubt”.
The ‘p’ is silent in “receipt”.
The ‘t’ is silent in “mortgage”.
---
mortgage = bank loan to buy property (like a house)

3 to the bank system
4 Afghanistan
5 (correct)
6 National Police
7 through cell phones

Grammar: articles

p. 107 part 7 - Why are these articles used in the sentences in part 5.
the world - there’s only one world (the Sun, the Moon, the ocean)
(no article) banks - banks in general
the interactive voice system - this was mentioned before, so we know which system it’s about
a new cell phone banking plan - this is the first time it’s mentioned

For particular statements (not generic), use “the” when both the speaker and the listener know which one(s) the sentence is about. Use “a” or “an” or “some” or no article otherwise.
For generic statements, we usually use no article (and the plural for countable nouns).

For singular count nouns, we always need a determiner. If it’s not “the”, use:
“a” before consonant sounds: a European, a university, a one-way street (/y/ and /w/ are consonants)
“an” before vowel sounds: an apple, an onion, an hour, an honest man, an mp3 player (empeethree)

Grammar: other determiners

quantifiers - all books, all money, each book, every book (“each” and “every” are singular)
possessives - his book, my money, their classes, John’s girl, a lion’s heart
	the student’s books = the books of one student
	the students’ books = the books of many students
	the children’s books = the books of many children
	the princess’s books = the books of one princess
	the princesses’ books = the books of many princesses
	Charles’s books = the books of Charles
	(We don’t add the possessive ‘s’ if we already have a plural ‘s’.)
---
BREAK
---
new subject + new verb = new sentence
	(or use “and” or another conjunction, or a semicolon; not just a comma)
---

4 their
5 your (This means to literally cut it up, like with scissors.)
6 -, an
7 all
8 each

passive = [be] + past participle
[be] can be in any form or tense (except perfect continuous)
	New houses are built every year.
	A new house is being built next to my apartment.
	A new house has just been built next to my apartment.
	My house was built in 1975 by my grandfather.
