Grammar rule

Grammar from lessons 26–30

Lesson	Grammar	Example
26	might / might not + verb: it is possible	We might paint the fence on Sunday. My sister might not like the gift.
27	used to / didn't use to + verb, Did you use to…?: past habits and states, not true now	My dad used to play the trumpet. Did you use to wear glasses?
28	who (people), which (things), that (both)	the nurse who helped us · a pan that doesn't stick · the shoes which I lost
29	because (reason), so (result), although (surprise)	I took a taxi because it was raining. It was raining, so I took a taxi. Although it was raining, I walked home.
30	(not) as + adjective / adverb + as	Tuesday was as busy as Monday. The soup isn't as hot as the tea.

Five things to watch: might + verb, with no to and no -s (and maybe is not a verb); used to only for past habits and states, and use after did; no extra he, she or it after who, which or that; one linking word for two ideas; and as + the plain adjective + as.
