LIFE INTERMEDIATE UNIT 4

Student's Book - p. 46

Job is a count noun - we can use it in the plural.

Ex: She did four jobs before she became a travel agent.

Work is an noncount noun - we don't use it in the plural.

Ex: I have a lot of work to do tonight.

Job is specific and limited - it describes your occupation or profession, such as teacher, engineer, or chef. It typically implies a formal employment position within an organization where you receive compensation

Work, : on the other hand, is used for tasks, duties, or activities you perform.
It can describe school assignments, household chores, or employment-related tasks.

Work represents the mental or physical effort required to complete something, regardless of whether it's paid.

Will and won't

​Will and Won't (will not)

We use "will" and "won't" followed by the verb in infitive to make predictions about the future.

​

Example: ​It will be sunny tomowrrow => There'll be lots of traffic tonight => She won't be here in time => It definitely won't rain tonight.

​

​We can use the contracted version of will => 'll. We use Will/Won't followed by the verb in infinitive when we are certain about our prediction.

Intensivo 3 | 2022

Predictions

Will + Probably / Probably + Won't

​Will probably / Probably won't

We use "Probably" to talk about predictions you are not very certain about but it is very likely to happen.

​

Examples: ​I'll probably go to the gym tonight => You probably won't see Karen tomorrow.

​

Probably goes after will but it goes before won't.​

May and Might

​May and Might

We use May and Might to talk about a prediction that is possible but you are not certain if it will happen.

​

​Example: He may be hungry when he gets home => There might not be any food on the flight.

​

Might is considered less probable than May

Asking, accepting and refusing politely or formally for something.

​Using:
"Can", "Could", "Will", "Would"

Making, Accepting and Refusing Requests

Requests use could, would, can, and will

We use Could and Would as polite ways of telling or asking someone to do something.

Using Can and Will is less formal and are also used to make polite requests, they are just not as soft as Could or Would.

Making Requests

Using "Could" and "Would"

• Could you let them know I called?

• Would you carry this for me, please?

• Could I have some ice with my drink?

  
  

These phrases are polite ways to ask someone for help.

Making Requests

Using "Can" and "Will"

These words are less formal but still acceptable:

• • Can you pass the ketchup?

  • Will you carry this for me?

  • Can I get a size 7 in this shoe, please?

​While these are still polite, they are not as soft as "could" and "would."

Accepting Requests

Using "Could" and "Would"

• Sure, I could do that.

• Of course, I would be happy to.

• Yes, I would be delighted to.

• Yeah, no problem!

​Once you've received a polite request, you can accept by aknowledging and confirming or reassuring the request.

Accepting Requests

Using "Can" and "Will"

• Sure, I can do that.

• Yes, I will.

• Definitely, I'll do it.

Refusing Requests

Using "Could" and "Would"

• Sorry, I have plans already, I wouldn't be able to tonight.

​Once you've received a polite request, you can refuse politely by apologising, provide a reason and express an inability.
