What are word classes? How can we recognize them? What role do they play in regards to punctuation? Grammar in Theory and in Practice was written for those who want straight answers, in plain English, to these crucial, yet rarely asked, questions.This essential guide empowers students to identify parts of speech rapidly, to employ punctuation marks confidently, and to examine syntax precisely, in four popular GCSE texts: Lord of the Flies, Animal Farm, Frankenstein, and 1984. Grammatical categories are neatly defined in the glossary, and each chapter is packed with practical and demanding exercises, testing your knowledge of nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, conjunctions, and prepositions. Topics range from the relatively simple, such as common pronoun errors or subject-verb agreement problems, to the somewhat complex, such as appositives, participles, or rhetorical devices. At the end of the course, there is a large punctuation section that revises the usage of commas, colons, semicolons, hyphens, and apostrophes.
In this intermediate lesson we learn how to use modal verbs in the present and past tense. In the present tense they are formed as MUST + be, CAN'T + be and COULD / MAY / MIGHT + be. http://www.quiz.biz/quizz-892128.html
In the past tense they are
MUST HAVE + 3rd form
COULD / MAY / MIGHT + 3rd form
CAN'T HAVE + 3rd form (COULDN'T HAVE + 3rd is also possible)

This advanced vocabulary course is designed to work in tandem with episodes on the US version of Sherlock called 'Elementary', and exercises on my website. You can find more grammar and vocabulary questions here:
https://www.skype-lessons.com/advanced-vocabulary/
I advise students to do the following: read the exercises, check any unknown vocabulary, watch the show, answer the questions, and then retell it using the target vocabulary and grammar. The retelling is necessary to activate new phrases in an easy to remember context. Please repeat the vocabulary using this video and the questions which accompany the video. Please subscribe for the whole course. Lessons will be released on a weekly basis. And please answer the following questions:
How often do you go on a binge?
Why might the police insist on having an autopsy?
Do you know any twins? Are they identical or fraternal? Do they bear a striking resemblance to one another?
Do you have any genetic disorders?
Do you know anyone who has sued, or has been sued?
Who will you bequeath your fortune to?
Do you know anyone who has inherited a great deal of money?
Have you had a lot on your plate recently?
