II. ĐIỂM NGỮ PHÁP (LANGUAGE FOCUS):

1. Because:

- We can use the subordinating conjunction because to connect two clauses in a sentence. The clause beginning with because answers the question “Why?” and is used to give a reason for the other clause.  (chúng ta có thể dùng liên từ phụ thuộc because để nối hai mệnh đề trong một câu. Mệnh đề bắt đầu bằng Because trả lời câu hỏi “Tại sao?” và được dùng để đưa ra lý do cho mệnh đề kia.

I failed my math test (Why?) because I didn’t study.

I’m delighted (why?) because I got 100% on my science test.

2. Using conjunctions (however, although) to show contrast:

- Using conjunctions (however, although) to show contrast. (Sử dụng liên từ “however”, “although”) để cho thấy sự trái ngược.

To show two ideas are different, you should use “however” and “although”. (Để thể hiện hai ý kiến khác nhau, bạn nên dùng “however” và “although”

 I woke up early. I missed the bus.

E.g: I woke up early. However, I missed the bus.

        Although I woke up early, I missed the bus.

We often use “however” and “although” when we write, but not when speaking with friends. Using conjunctions when we write helps the readers understand our ideas easily. (Chúng ta thường sử dụng “however” và “although” khi chúng ta viết, những không phải khi nói chuyện với bạn bè. Sử dụng các liên từ khi chúng ta viết giúp người đọc hiểu ý của chúng ta một cách dễ dàng.)

3. “so” and “really”:

- We use the intensifiers so and really to make adjectives stronger. We can use so to show surprise about something being more than you expect it to be. (Chúng ta sử dụng các từ tăng cường “so” và “really” để làm cho tính từ mạnh hơn. Chúng ta có thể dùng “so” để thể hiện sự ngạc nhiên về một điều gì đó nhiều hơn bạn mong đợi.)

He’s so happy because he passed his test.

Why are you so angry? I was trying to be nice!

My teacher is really annoyed because I lost my math book.

I really want to buy that computer game.

4. “have to”:

- We use have to + infinitive to talk about an action that somebody tells us to do. (Chúng ta sử dung have to + nguyên mẫu để nói về một hành động mà một người nào đó nói chúng ta làm.)

I have to do my homework. (My teacher told me to do my homework.)

We add do not to talk about an action we can choose not to do if we don’t want to. (Chúng ta thêm do not để nói về một hành động mà chúng ta có thể chọn không làm nếu chúng ta không muốn.)

I don’t have to clean my room. (My room is not untidy)
