C Your turn
Write 2-3 original sentences about your own routine, using at least one simple present and one present progressive sentence.
I usually...At the moment I...
Rule
Use the simple present for habits, routines, and general facts, often with adverbs of frequency (always, usually, often, sometimes, rarely, never). Use the present progressive (am/is/are + -ing) for actions happening now or around now.
TRAlışkanlıklar, rutinler ve genel gerçekler için geniş zaman kullanılır; genellikle sıklık zarflarıyla (always, usually, often, sometimes, rarely, never) birlikte kullanılır. Şu anda veya şu sıralarda gerçekleşen eylemler için şimdiki zaman (am/is/are + -ing) kullanılır.
When?
Use simple present for facts/habits and adverbs of frequency to say how often; use present progressive for temporary or in-progress actions.
TRGerçekler/alışkanlıklar için geniş zaman ve ne sıklıkla yapıldığını belirtmek için sıklık zarfları kullanılır; geçici veya devam eden eylemler için şimdiki zaman kullanılır.

- I always am tired after school.I am always tired after school.
The adverb of frequency goes after the verb 'to be', not before it.
TRSıklık zarfı 'to be' fiilinden önce değil sonra gelir.

Model answer

C Your turn
Write 2-3 original sentences with question tags about your own school life.
Our school..., ...?You..., ...?
Rule
Question tags are short questions added to the end of a statement to check information or invite agreement: a positive statement takes a negative tag, and a negative statement takes a positive tag. Wh-questions (who, where, when, how, why, what kind of) ask for specific information and are formed with a question word + auxiliary + subject + verb.
TRSoru etiketleri (question tags), bilgiyi doğrulamak veya onay almak için bir cümlenin sonuna eklenen kısa sorulardır: olumlu bir cümle olumsuz bir etiket alır, olumsuz bir cümle ise olumlu bir etiket alır. Wh- soruları (who, where, when, how, why, what kind of) belirli bir bilgi istemek için kullanılır ve soru kelimesi + yardımcı fiil + özne + fiil şeklinde kurulur.
When?
Use question tags in spoken conversation to confirm information or start small talk; use wh-questions to ask for specific details.
TRBilgiyi doğrulamak veya sohbete başlamak için konuşma dilinde soru etiketleri kullanılır; belirli ayrıntılar sormak için wh- soruları kullanılır.

The tag only repeats the auxiliary, not the full verb.
TREtiket, tüm fiili değil yalnızca yardımcı fiili tekrarlar.
- What kind school do you go?What kind of school do you go to?
We need 'of' after 'what kind' and a preposition at the end of the question.
TR'What kind'den sonra 'of' gelmesi ve sorunun sonunda bir edat kullanılması gerekir.

Nothing/Something/Anything, Object Pronouns & Must/Can't (Deduction)

Model answer

C Your turn
Write 2-3 original sentences using something/anything/nothing, an object pronoun, or must/can't for deduction.
There is nothing...He must...
Rule
Something/anything/nothing are indefinite pronouns: 'something' in positive statements, 'anything' in questions/negatives, 'nothing' as a negative subject/object. Object pronouns (me, you, him, her, it, us, them) replace a noun as the object of a verb or preposition. Must/can't express logical deduction: 'must' for a strong positive conclusion, 'can't' for a strong negative conclusion.
TRSomething/anything/nothing belirsiz zamirlerdir: olumlu cümlelerde 'something', soru ve olumsuz cümlelerde 'anything', olumsuz özne/nesne olarak 'nothing' kullanılır. Nesne zamirleri (me, you, him, her, it, us, them) bir fiilin veya edatın nesnesi olarak bir ismin yerini alır. Must/can't mantıksal çıkarım belirtir: güçlü olumlu sonuç için 'must', güçlü olumsuz sonuç için 'can't' kullanılır.
When?
Use these pronouns to talk about unspecified things, object pronouns to avoid repeating a noun, and must/can't when you are almost sure about something based on evidence.
TRBu zamirler belirsiz şeylerden bahsetmek için, nesne zamirleri bir ismi tekrar etmemek için, must/can't ise bir kanıta dayanarak bir şeyden neredeyse emin olunduğunda kullanılır.

Question

- Must he study every night?
Short answers
- Yes, there is. / No, there isn't.
Mistakes
- I don't have nothing to say.I don't have anything to say.
English avoids double negatives; use 'anything' after a negative verb.
TRİngilizcede çift olumsuzluk kullanılmaz; olumsuz fiilden sonra 'anything' kullanılır.
- She must not be at school; her bag is on her desk.She can't be at school; her bag is on her desk. / Actually, she must be at school; her bag is on her desk.
'Can't' expresses a strong negative deduction, not 'must not'.
TRGüçlü olumsuz çıkarım 'must not' ile değil 'can't' ile ifade edilir.
Compare
| Must (positive deduction) | Can't (negative deduction) | |

Schools Around the World
Schools around the world look very different from one another. In many countries, most students attend public schools, which are usually free and open to everyone in the local area. Public schools often follow a national curriculum set by the government, so students in the same country study similar subjects at the same age.
Some families choose a different path. Boarding schools, for example, are places where students live during the school term instead of going home every day. Students at boarding schools eat, study, and often do extracurricular activities together, which can create a strong sense of community. Other students attend vocational schools, where the curriculum focuses on practical skills for a future job, such as mechanics, cooking, or design.
A smaller number of families choose homeschooling, in which children study at home instead of going to a school building. Parents or private tutors usually manage the curriculum, and the timetable can be more flexible than in a traditional school. Whatever the type of school, most students share similar experiences: friendships, exams, and unforgettable memories from their school years.

Dealing with School Stress
Feeling stressed about school is extremely common, especially before exams or big deadlines. Many students report feeling overwhelmed by their workload, worried about test results, or anxious about speaking in front of the class. This kind of stress is a normal part of student life, but it becomes a problem when it starts to affect sleep, appetite, or motivation.
Fortunately, there are simple strategies that can help students cope with school stress. Planning ahead and breaking large tasks into smaller steps can make a heavy workload feel more manageable. Regular exercise, even a short walk after school, can also reduce tension and improve concentration. Talking to a friend, family member, or teacher about how you feel is another effective way to cope, because it stops worries from building up inside.
Teachers and schools also have a role to play. Some schools now offer quiet rooms where students can relax between lessons, or organise workshops about time management. When students learn to recognise the signs of stress early and use these strategies, school can feel less like a source of anxiety and more like a place to learn and grow.
