Grammar rule

Grammar from lessons 6–10

Lesson	Grammar	Example
6	superlatives: the -est, the most, the best, the worst; in / of	It's the oldest house in town. My grandpa is the tallest of five brothers.
7	present simple (habits, facts) or continuous (now, this week)	I usually read on the train, but today I'm listening to music. I know, I want, I need (not continuous)
8	be going to: plans, and predictions from what we see	We're going to visit Peru in April. The printer is making a strange noise. It's going to break!
9	requests: Can / Could / Would you + verb…?	Could you lock the door? — Sure. / I'm sorry, but I can't.
10	permission: Can / Could / May I + verb…?	May I change seats? — Of course. / I'm sorry, but you can't.

Six things to watch: the before a superlative, and not the most big; know, want and need in the simple, even now; no -s, -ing or to after going to; no to after could, would or may; and I with May (not May you…?). Answer a request with Sure. or Of course. (not Yes, I could.).
