In A Night at the Opera the Marx Brothers try to sabotage the opening night performance of Il Trovatore, one of the most famous operas of all time. Of course you’ve heard it a million times. Everybody knows it, even my canary whistles it. But now comes the big question. Ready? Who composed it? Was it…

GRAMMAR UNDER THE HAMMERGRAMMAR UNDER THE HAMMER

  • 1 Elementary

    Some LP Elementary Students don’t know that:


    DO is used as an auxiliary verb to form a question in the Present Simple tense, that is, to see if an actions happens regularly or habitually, e.g.


    DO you play tennis?


    And if the answer is negative you must use it again: 

    No, I DO NOT (DON’T) play tennis
    If it is third person singular, we use DOES and DOESN’T

  • 1 Pre-Intermediate

    All LP Pre-intermediate students should know that:


    MUST can be used for the present or future but it has no past tense. If you want to say that you went to the doctor yesterday because it was necessary for you to go, you can say:

    “Yesterday I HAD TO go to the doctor.”

    You can say “I must go to work from Monday to Friday” but “I HAD TO go to work last Sunday because there was an emergency in the factory”

  • 1 Intermediate

    Many LP Intermediate students know that:


    PURPOSE can be expressed in different ways but the easiest and perhaps most common way is to use the INFINITIVE


    TO GO to work I need a car,

    You need to study TO PASS the exam

  • 1 Advanced

    Maybe not all Advanced pupils will know that:


    The phrasal verb TO EGG ON means to encourage somebody to do something, especially while watching them compete against others in some physical contest,  e.g


    John EGGED ON his 9 year-old son as he was competing in the under-10 school running championships.

  • 1 Native

    Every Native speaker knows that:


    The idiomatic expression To MAKE IT means TO BECOME A SUCCESS: 

     
    In Frank Sinatra’s song New York, New York there is a line “If you can MAKE IT there, you can MAKE IT anywhere”
