Grammar rule

Grammar from lessons 36–40

Lesson	Grammar	Example
36	adjective or verb + its preposition	She's good at chess and interested in robots.
37	however, therefore, as a result, in addition: a period or a semicolon before, a comma after	The heat went out. As a result, we wore our coats indoors.
38	It + be + adjective + to… · It takes (me) + time + to…	It's fun to cook for friends, but it takes hours to clean up.
39	in case + present: to be ready for something that might happen	Save the email in case you need it later.
40	as long as, provided (that) = only if	We'll have lunch on the beach as long as the forecast is good.

Five things to watch: the preposition that goes with the word (interested in, not about); never a comma alone before however, therefore, as a result or in addition; don't leave out it (It's easy to…, not Is easy to…); no will after in case, as long as and provided (that); and in case (do it now, to be ready) is not if (only when it happens).
