Now, the crocodile was very hungry, so when it was in the middle of the river, it stopped and said to the monkey, ”Monkey, my father is very sick. He must eat the heart of the monkey. Then he will be strong again.”
The monkey thought for a while. Then he told the crocodile to swim back to the river bank.
“What’s for?” asked the crocodile.
“Because I didn’t bring my heart with me,” said the monkey. “I left it under the tree, near some coconuts.”
So, the crocodile turned around and swam back to the bank of the river. As soon as they reached the river bank, the monkey jumped off the crocodile’s back and climbed up to the top of a tree.

Shark Savages Creek Swimmer
By John Orr and AAP

A Gold Coast man was recovering in hospital last night after a shark bit him in his buttocks and right leg when he went for a moonlit swim in a canal.
Mr. Craig Coleman, 26 needed about 200 stitches and is awaiting plastic surgery.
He went for a swim in little Tallebudgera Creek and adjoining canals to “cool off” late on Saturday night.
He “dog-paddled” halfway accros the stream and while having a breather, a shark, estimated, to be 1.8m long, “took a liking to him”.
“I never got a look at him-who would have thought there would be sharks in the river,” Mr. Coleman said yesterday.
He was the second person to be attacked by a shark in the Mermaid Waters canal in the past 12 months.
A 10 years-old boy was attacked late last year only metres from where Mr. Coleman was bitten.
Mr. Coleman said he was unaware of previous shark attacks in Gold Coast waterways as he had recently moved there from Sydney.

PASSIVE VOICE 


Passive voice is a grammatical voice in which the subject receives the action of a transitive verb, and passive refers more generally to verbs using this construction and the passages in which they are used.
The Generic Structure/Formula :

* Active : S + Vactive + O
* Passive : O + to be + V3 + by + S

Passive Voice in Tenses :
1. Simple Present Tense
· Active : V1(es/s)
· Passive : To be(is, am, are) + V3
2. Past tense
· Active : V2(ed)
· Passive : To be(was, were) + V3
3. Past Continous Tense
· Active : To be(is, am, are) + Ving
To be(was, were) + Ving
· Passive : To be(is, am, are) + Being V3
To be(was, were) + Being V3
4. Present Perfect Continous Tense

· Passive : been + being V3
5. Future Tense

· Passive : Be + being V

When you’re rewriting active sentences in Passive Voice, note to following :
  1. the object of the active sentence becomes the subject of the passive sentence
  2. the finite form of the verb is changed (to be + past participle)
  3. the subject of the active sentence becomes by Agent in the passive sentence (or is dropped)
  4. Only active sentence containing object which can be changed into passive form
  5. The two forms should have the same tenses

Note :
- In Passive Voice, the subject is the object in Active Voice and the object is the subject.
- Negative Form just add ‘not’ after the to be.
- Interogative Form just move the ‘to be’ to the first, and add ‘?’ in the last.
Passive Sentences with Two Objects
                There are two ways to changes the Active Sentences that have two objects,
Ex : Raditya Dika give Novel Marmut Merah Jambu to Sherina.
                                               Indirect object                       Direct object
1.    Make its indirect object into the subject of the passive sentence.
                = Sherina is given Novel Marmut Merah Jambu
2.    Make its direct object into the subject of the passive sentence
                = Novel Marmut Merah Jambu is given to Sherina.

INTRODUCTORY IT


When the subjective is an infinitive phrase:
We begin a sentence with it when the real subject is an infinitive phrase.
So instead of saying, ‘To accept your advice is difficult’, we say, ‘It is difficult to accept your advice’.

Structure: It + verb + subject complement + infinitive phrase (real subject)
  • It is easy to learn English. (To learn English is easy.)
  • It is easy to find fault with others. (To find fault with others is easy.)
  • It is difficult to know his motive. (To know his motive is difficult.)
  • It is difficult to find a good job during these troubled times.
  • It is dangerous to play with fire.
  • It could be dangerous to drive so fast.
When the subject is a gerund phrase
When the real subject is a phrase that includes a gerund, it is used as a provisional subject to begin the sentence. So instead of saying ‘Your trying to fool us is no good’, we say, ‘It is no good your trying to fool us.’

* It won’t be any good complaining to the manager. (Complaining to the an ager won’t be any good.)

* It is silly throwing away this opportunity. (Throwing away this opportunity is silly.)
* Will it be any good my talking to him about it? (Will my talking to him about it be any good)
* It is no fun having so many children to look after. (Having so many children to look after is no fun.)

Note :

that it is possible to change the gerund into an infinitive.
It won’t be any good for me to complain to the manager.
It is silly (for you) to throw away this opportunity.
Will it be any good for me to talk to him about it?

Indirect speech refers to reproducing the idea of another person’s words that doesn’t use quotation marks to enclose what the person said and it doesn’t have to be word for word.

Indirect speech is sometimes called reported speech.

NOUN PHRASES


noun phrase is other a single noun or any group of words containing noun or a pronoun that function together as a noun or pronoun, as the subject or object of a verb.

For example, ‘they’ , ‘books’, and ‘the books’, are noun phrases, but ‘book’ is just a noun, as you can see in these sentences (in which the noun phrases are all in bold)

- Structure of Noun Phrases:
• A beautiful old painting on the wall

When you use a noun in front of another noun, you never put adjectives between them, you put adjectives in front of the first noun.
Example : We just spoke with a young American boy
Noun phrase can be in form of gerund (base + ing) or gerund and other nouns compounding.
Example : Passing the exam watching TV

Example:
  • My coach is happy.
  • I like the cars over there.
  • The woman who lives there is my aunt.
  • Frankenstein is the name of the scientist not the monster.
  • I consider Meong my favorite cat.

  • Mr. Jones spoke to Dr. James.
  • My friend works with her father.
  • Alex is a smart tall white boy.
  • It's a beautiful red car.
  • Mr. Aldy has just bought an expensive large house.

MODALS IN THE PAST FORM


When do we use modals?
  • To talk about someone's ability (or inability) to do something
    example: "We can find your house without the street plan."
    "She can't have a daughter that old!"
  • To talk about an action that is necessary (or impossible, or not necessary)
    example: "You must always have your driver's licence when you are driving your car."
    "You needn't carry your passport around with you."
  • To talk about a situation that is possible (or impossible)
    example: "Do be careful with that glass, the baby might knock it over"

A modal verb always has the same form:
There is no past form (-ed), no present participle (-ing) and no 3rd persons singular (-s).
Modal verbs come before the subject in questions:
example: "May I come to your house for tea?"
Negative forms:
Modal verbs have n't or not after them in the negative.
example: "mustn't" - "needn't".
