📝 Auxiliary verbs are used together with a main verb to show the verb’s tense or to form a negative or question. The most common auxiliary verbs are have, do and can.
📝 Auxiliary verbs are useful in giving short answers to questions. Basically, your answer can end with an auxiliary verb.
📝 Auxiliary verbs are also known as helping verbs.
🔅 In each of these sentences there is an auxiliary verb and a main verb:
✅ I have lost my keys.
✅ She can't come to the party.
✅The hotel was built ten years ago.
✅ Where do you live?
🔅 In the above examples have/can't/was/do are auxiliary verbs.
📝 We can use an auxiliary verb when we don't want to repeat something.
✅ Have you locked the door? Yes, I have. (= I have locked the door)
✅ Gary wasn't working, but Laura was. (=Laura was working )
✅ Jessica could lend me the money, but she won't. (= she won't lend me the money )
📝 We use do/does/did for the present and past simple.
✅ Do you like onions? Yes, I do. (= I like onions )
✅ Does Simon live in London? He did, but he doesn't anymore.
📝 We can use auxiliary verbs to deny what somebody says (= say it is not true)
✅ You're sitting in my place. No, I am not. (= I'm not sitting in your place )
✅ You didn't lock the door before you left. Yes, I did. (= I locked the door )
📝 We use have you? / isn't she? / do they? etc. to show interest in what somebody has said, or to show surprise.
✅ I've just seen Stephen. Oh, have you? How is he?
✅ Lisa isn't very well today. Oh, isn't she? What's wrong with her?
✅ It rained everyday during our holiday. Did it? What a shame!
✅ James and Tanya are getting married. Are they? Really?
📝 We use auxiliary verbs with so and neither.
✅ I'm tired. So am I. (= I'm tired too)
✅ I never read newspapers. Neither do I. (= I never read newspapers either)
✅ Sarah hasn't got a car and neither has Mark.
📝 Note the word order after so and neither (verb before subject)
✅ I passed the exam and so did Paul. ( not so Paul did)
📝 Instead of neither, we can use nor. We can also use not ... either.
✅ I don't know. Neither do I. or Nor do I. or I don't either.
🔅 I think so / I hope so etc.
📝 After some verbs we use so when we don't want to repeat something.

✅ Will you be at home this evening? I expect so. (= I expect I'll be at home this evening )
✅ Do you think Kate has been invited to the party? I suppose so.
📝 In the same way we say:
🔅I hope so, I guess so and I'm afraid so.
The usual negative forms are:
🔹I think so / I expect so ➡️ I don't think so / I don't expect so
🔹I hope so / I'm afraid so / I guess so ➡️ I hope not / I 'm afraid not / I guess not

⭕️Today on English with Masters we proposed this motivational text for the pronunciation class⭕️
♦️ No positive change can occur in your life as long as you cling to the thought that the reason for your not living well lies outside yourself. As long as you place responsibility entirely on others who treat you unfairly__ a loutish husband, a demanding and unsupportive boss, bad genes, irresistible compulsions__ then your situation will remain at an impasse. You and only you alone are responsible for the crucial aspects of your life situation, and only you have the power to change it. And even if you face overwhelming external restraints, you still have the freedom and choice of adopting various attitudes towards those restraints.

☑️Word fundamentals. ☑️
🔹Learn how basic word parts unlock the meaning of unfamiliar words
Word roots, prefixes, and suffixes are the basic parts out of which words are built.
🔷PREdiction ( PRE - before). So a prefix appears at the beginning of a word to modify its meaning.
🔷preDICTion ( DICT - to say). A word root is the basic unit of meaning in a word to which prefixes and suffixes can be added
🔷predictION ( ION - act or process). A suffix appears at the end of a word to modify its meaning or part of speech.
➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖
☑️ Learn the following nine essential word roots, prefixes, and suffixes:
🔘 root AUTO
🔸Meaning - self
🔸Examples: automatic, autonomy
🔘 root FORT
🔸Meaning - strong
🔸Examples: effort, fortress
🔘 root - SCRIPT
🔸Meaning - write
🔸Examples: denoscription, manunoscript
🔘 prefix - ANTI
🔸Meaning - opposed to or against.
🔸Examples: antihero, antisocial
🔘 prefix - EX
🔸Meaning - not or out of
🔸Examples: exclude, exit
🔘 prefix - MIS
🔸Meaning - wrong or badly.
🔸Examples: misshapen, misunderstand.
🔘 suffix - AL
🔸Meaning - relating to
🔸Examples: historical, rehearsal.
🔘 suffix - FUL
🔸Meaning - full of.
🔸Examples: grateful, merciful.
🔘 suffix - ION
🔸Meaning - act or process.
🔸Examples: consideration, desperation.
❗️ The importance of word parts:❗️
⭕️There are more than 1 million different word parts in use the English language, and it's growing and changing all the time. The average person's vocabulary ranges from 20,000-35,000 words.
⭕️ While it is impossible to know every English word, it is possible to expand your vocabulary by learning the pieces that make up individual words: word roots, prefixes and suffixes.
⭕️You can unlock the meanings of difficult words by learning frequently used word parts and their combinations.
⭕️Breaking words into smaller parts is an efficient and systematic method that allows you to recognize unfamiliar words and build your vocabulary more quickly than by memorization alone.
