UNIIT 2: LIFE IN THE CITY

GRAMMAR
I.Ôn tập so sánh hơn với tính từ( comparative forms of adjectives)
Ta sử dụng so sánh hơn của tính từ để so sánh giữa người(hoặc vật) này với người(hoặc vật) khác.
Trong câu so sánh hơn, tính từ sẽ được chia làm 2 loại là tính từ dài và tính từ ngắn, trong đó:
- Tính từ ngắn là tính từ có 1 âm tiết : Ví dụ : tall, high, big………..
- Tính từ dài là tính từ có từ 2 âm tiết trở lên : Ví dụ : expensive, intelligent……..
II. Cấu trúc câu so sánh hơn:
Đối với tính từ ngắn
Đối với tính từ dài
S1 + to be + adj +er + than + S2
Với tính từ ngắn, thêm đuôi “er” vào sau tính từ
Với tính từ dài, thêm đuôi “more” vào trước tính
từ
Ví dụ:
Ví dụ:
China is bigger than India
Gold is more valuable than silver
Lan is shorter than Nam
Hanh is more beautiful than Hoa
My house is bigger than your house
Your book is more expensive than my book
His pen is newer than my pen
Exercise 1 is more difficult than exercise 2
Lưu ý: Để nhấn mạnh ý trong câu so sánh hơn, ta thêm “much” hoặc “far” trước hình thức so sánh
Ví dụ: Her boyfriend is much/ far older than her
III. Cách sử dụng tính từ trong câu so sánh hơn:
1.Cách thêm đuôi –er vào tính từ ngắn
Tính từ kết thúc bởi 1 phụ âm →thêm đuôi –er
Old-older, near-nearer
Tính từ kết thúc bởi 1 nguyên âm “e” →thêm đuôi –r
Nice-nicer
Tính từ kết thúc bởi 1 nguyên âm(ueoai) +1 phụ âm → gấp Big-bigger, hot-hotter, fat-fatter
đôi phụ âm cuối và thêm đuôi -er
Tính từ kết thúc bởi “y” dù có 2 âm tiết vẫn là tính từ ngắn
Happy-happier,
→bỏ “y” và thêm đuôi “ier”
Pretty-prettier
Lưu ý: Một số tính từ có hai âm tiết kết thúc bằng “_et, _ow, _er, _y, _le” thì áp dụng như quy tắc
thêm er ở tính từ ngắn
Ví dụ: quiet →quieter
c
lever → cleverer
Page 3

Simple → simpler
narrow →narower
2.Một vài tính từ đặc biệt:
Với một số tính từ sau, dạng so sánh hơn của chúng không theo quy tắc trên.
Tính từ
Dạng so sánh hơn
Good
Better
Bad
Worse
Far
Farther/ further
Much/ many More
Little
Less
Old
Older/ elder
IV. SO SÁNH HƠN VỚI TRẠNG TỪ (COMPARATIVE FORMS OF ADVERBS)
Tương tự như với tính từ, trang từ chia thành 2 loại:
-.Trạng từ ngắn là những trạng từ có 1 âm tiết.
Ví dụ: hard, near, far, right, wrong…………
-Trạng từ dài là những từ có từ 2 âm tiết trở lên.
Ví dụ: slowly, responsibly, quickly, interestingly, tiredly……
1.Cấu trúc câu so sánh hơn với trạng từ:
Đối với trạng từ ngắn
Đối với trạng từ dài
S1 +V +adv +er +than+ S2 S1 +V +more / less +adv +than+ S2
Ví dụ:
Ví dụ:
They work harder than I do My friend did the test more carefully
than I did.
2.Một vài trạng từ có dạng từ đặc biệt:
Tính từ
Dạng so sánh hơn
Well
Better
Badly

UNIT 3: PEOPLES OF VIET NAM
GRAMMAR
I. ÔN TẬP CÂU HỎI. (QUESTION)
Theo quy tắc ngữ pháp, khi là câu hỏi thì chúng ta cần đảo trợ động từ (auxiliray verbs) lên trước
chủ ngữ
1. Câu hỏi Yes/No (Yes/No Questions)
Câu hỏi dạng Yes/No Questions là dạng câu hỏi đòi hỏi câu trả lời là Yes (có) hoặc No (không).
Cấu trúc
Ví dụ
Trợ động từ (be/ do/ does) + chủ ngữ (S) + Isn't Lan going to school today?
động từ + ….?
Hôm nay Lan đi học phải không?
Yes, S + trợ động từ / tobe.
Yes, she is. (đúng vậy)
No, S + trợ động từ / tobe + not
2. Wh-question
Page 6

a. Các từ dùng để hỏi trong tiếng Anh
Who (Ai) (chức Whom (Ai) (chức
năng chủ ngữ)
năng tân ngữ
Where (Ở đâu)
Which (cái nào) (để
hỏi về sự lựa chọn)
How (như thế nào)
How much (Bao
nhiêu)
How far(Bao xa)
How old (Bao nhiêu
tuổi)

What (Cái gì)

Whose (Của ai)

When (Khi nào)

Why (Tại sao)

How many (Bao How long (Bao lâu)
nhiêu, số lượng)
How often (Bao nhiêu What time (Mấy
lần)
giờ)

Các cấu trúc câu hỏi WH thường gặp
• Nguyên tắc đặt câu hỏi
- Nếu chưa có trợ động từ thì phải mượn trợ động từ :do/ does/ did
- Nếu trợ động từ có sẵn (am/is/are/can /will/shall/would/could) thì đảo chúng ra trước chủ ngữ,
không mượn do/does/did nữa.
• Cấu trúc thông thường của loại câu hỏi Wh-questions
Từ để hỏi thường được viết ở đầu câu hỏi.Từ để hỏi có thể làm chủ ngữ (subject) hay tân ngữ
(object) và bổ ngữ.
Dạng
Dạng 1:
Câu hỏi
tân ngữ

Cấu trúc
Wh-word + auxiliary + S + V + object?
Từ để hỏi + trợ động từ + chủ ngữ + động từ chính
+ (tân ngữ)
Ví dụ:
Whom do you meet this morning? (Anh gặp lại ai
sáng nay?) (Whom là tân ngữ của động từ “meet”)
Dạng 2:
Wh-word + tobe + S + complement?
Câu hỏi (Từ để hỏi + động từ tobe + chủ ngữ + bổ ngữ)
bổ ngữ
Ví dụ.
Whose is this umbrella? (Cái ô này của ai?)
Dạng 3:
Wh-word + V + object?
Câu hỏi (Từ để hỏi + động từ chính + tân ngữ)
chủ ngữ
Ví dụ.
Who lives in London with Daisy? (Ai sống ở
London cùng với Daisy vậy?)

Chú ý
Object là danh từ, đại từ đứng sau
động từ hoặc giới từ.

Bổ ngữ là danh từ hoặc tính từ
Động từ tobe chia theo chủ ngữ
Động từ chính luôn được chia
theo ngôi thứ 3 số ít.

C.Trường hợp câu hỏi đặc biệt với WHICH
Cách dùng

Ví dụ

“Which' được sử dụng thay thế cho What
và Who khi ta muốn hỏi ai đó chính xác về
người hay vật trong một số lượng nhất
định. Người nghe phải chọn trong giới hạn
ấy để trả lời.

Which of you can't do this exercise? (Em
nào (trong số các em) không làm được bài
tập này?)
Which way to the station, please? (Cho hỏi
đường nào đi đến ga ạ?)

II. MẠO TỪ KHÔNG XÁC ĐỊNH : A/ AN
a + countable singular noun (phrase) starting with a consonant sound
Mạo từ a chỉ được sử dụng trước các (cụm) danh từ đếm được số ít và mang nghĩa là một, mỗi, từng
hay bất kỳ. Đồng thời, từ đứng ngay sau a phải bắt đầu bằng một phụ âm.
Page 7

an + countable singular noun (phrase) starting with a vowel sound
Mạo từ an chỉ được sử dụng trước các (cụm) danh từ đếm được số ít và mang nghĩa là một, mỗi, từng
hay bất kỳ. Đồng thời, từ đứng ngay sau an phải bắt đầu bằng một nguyên âm.
Chú ý: Sự khác biệt duy nhất giữa a và an phụ thuộc vào cách phát âm của từ đi ngay sau
chúng, không phải chính tả.
an hour vs. a house ;

a university vs. an umbrella

the + noun (phrase) that is easily understood
____ noun (phrase) that has already been mentioned
____ noun (phrase) that is unique
____ superlative comparison
Mạo từ the đứng trước những (cụm) danh từ mà người đọc và người nghe đều dễ dàng biết được đối
tượng mà nó nhắc đến.The cũng đứng trước (cụm) danh từ được nhắc đến trước đó hoặc (cụm) danh
từ chỉ những khái niệm duy nhất. Đặc biệt, chúng ta luôn dùng the trước tính từ hoặc trạng từ ở dạng
so sánh nhất.

Read the passage about ancestor worship, and do the tasks that follow.
Ancestor Worship
Ancestor worship is a religious practice based on the belief that one's ancestors possess
supernatural powers, such as gods, angels, saints, or demons.
Ancestor worship in some cultures honors the deeds, memories, and sacrifice of the deal.
Much of the worship includes visiting the ancestors at their graves, making offerings to them to
provide for their welfare in the afterlife.
Spirit money (also called Hell Notes) is sometimes burned as an offering to ancestors as well
for the afterlife. The living may regard the ancestors as“guardian angels” to them, perhaps in
protecting them from serious accidents, or guiding their path in life.

Families burned incense every day on the domestic ancestral altar. In China, the family altar
house the family spirit tablets. On the outer surface of the spirit tablet is engraved the year of the
death, his full name, and the name of the son who erects the tablet.
Anniversary rites take place the death date of each major deceased member of the family
every year. Sacrificial food is offered, and living members of the family participate in the ceremony
in ritual order based on age and generation.
