Warm-up

Before we look back at unit 5:

1. Which do you like better: calling home, or getting a call from home? Why?
2. When did you last leave someone a voice message? What was it about?
3. Have you ever started a new job or a new school in a place you didn't know?

Grammar rule

Unit 5 at a glance

Lesson	Grammar	Example
21	guesses about now: must, might / could, can't + base verb	His hair is wet. It must be raining. It can't be very cold: he isn't wearing a coat.
22	question tags: be, do / does / did, have, can, will…	You met him at work, didn't you? Your kids aren't in school yet, are they?
23	indirect questions: statement order	Do you know if the hotel has a pool? I wonder where they are.
24	be used to / get used to + a noun or -ing	My parents aren't used to city traffic, but they're getting used to it.
25	although / even though + a clause; despite / in spite of + a noun or -ing	Although the meeting was short, we made a lot of decisions. Despite the short meeting, we made a lot of decisions.

Five things to watch: no to and no -s after a modal (must to be, might is), and can't, not can, for a guess; the tag repeats the helping verb, or do / does / did (You live here, isn't it?); statement order inside an indirect question (Do you know where is it?); -ing after be used to and get used to (I'm used to drive); despite + a noun or -ing, never a clause (despite it was raining).
