Warm-up

Before we look back at the last three units, and at the whole course:

1. Have you ever taught someone a skill? How did it go?
2. Which adults helped you the most when you were growing up?
3. What do you feel much more confident about now than a year ago?

Grammar rule

Grammar from units 22–24

Unit	Grammar	Example
22	question tags, negative questions, softeners	You start on Monday, don't you? Do you think you could bring a whistle?
23	used to, would, be used to, get used to	A few of them used to stand at the side. They're getting used to playing as a team.
24	comparisons: much / far / slightly + comparative, as… as, the more…, the…	They're far more confident than they were. The more they play, the braver they get.

Three things to watch: a tag uses the helping verb (or do / did) and a pronoun, and a negative sentence (with not, never, nobody…) takes a positive tag (He never cooks, does he?), with I'm → aren't I and Let's → shall we; after be used to and get used to, use -ing (used to playing), and would can't describe a state; and very can't go before a comparative (much better, not very better).
