Regular Verbs - Elementary Level

Look at the paragraph below and change the verbs in brackets into past tense.

Too + adjective + a (indefinite article)

Hello there!

This is my very first post in this forum!

 

So, I've been enough confused by my English native friends in regard with the use of "too" in a sentence when there is an adjective and the "a" article. The problem for me is to know where I have to put the "a": before or after the "too"??

 

Ex1. I have too painful a headache.

Everybody says this is correct: "a" after the too + adj

 

Adverbs of Manner

Average: 3.4 (328 votes)

Adverbs of Manner add more information to verbs to make them more specific. For example “He ran” doesn’t say much about how he ran. If you add an adverb it will solve this problem: “He ran quickly” gives us more information and sounds better.

Adverbs of Manner always come after a verb and can be used with words like very or too. Adverbs of Manner are adjectives that almost always end with –ly, though some are also irregular.

Too much or too many?

Average: 3.6 (184 votes)

Important tip: much is always used together with an uncountable noun (like 'oil' or 'water') while many is always used with nouns that are countable (like 'table' or 'computer')

It's also good to know that 'too' means that you don't like the situation, for example, "There is too much food on my plate" means that you're not happy about it.

Infinitive Patterns

Average: 3.7 (29 votes)

We already know that some words are followed by the gerund and some by the infinitive, but it gets even more confusing when we have to remember whether the sentence needs the full infinitive with 'to' or not. Here's a test to help you remember. When you've finished, can you use the correct answers to make a list of which words are followed by the full infinitive and which are not? This is quite a complicated exercise so I would be interested to hear your thoughts on it. Let me know if you would like an explanation of the rules covered in this test.

Present Simple - Beginner Level

Average: 3.8 (172 votes)

Present simple is mostly used for our routines and can be a little confusing. The biggest mistake that students make with this grammar point is using it correctly with the pronouns he/she/itLet me explain:

He / she / it + present simple + 's' or 'es'
