5 all, each, every, both, neither, either, some, any, no, none all, each, every, everyone, everybody, everything (for all and each, see also 48 ) all compared tO every Technically, all means a number of people or things considered as a group while every means a number Of people or things considered individually. But ⅲ practice every and its compounds are often used when we are thinking Of a group. each (adjective and pronoun) and every (adjective) each means a number Of persons or things considered individually. every can have this meamng but with every there is less emphasis on the individual. E 川 4 〃カ〃 4 20 〃 means 'AII the men had weapons' , and implies that the speaker counted the men and the weapons and found that he had the same number 0f each. E ん川 4 ん ad 4 e ゆ 0 implies that the speaker went tO each man ⅲ turn and checked that he had a weapon. each is a pronoun and adjective: E 〃 ( 川なの々れ 0 s ん厩面 . every is an adjective only: E 怩川 4 〃々 0 s . each can be used Of tWO or more persons or things, and iS normally used Of small numbers. every is not normally used 0f very small numbers. BOth take a singular verb. The possessive adjective is his/her/its. (For the reciprocal pronoun each other, see 53 C, 70 B. ) everyone/everybody and everything (pronouns) everyone/everybody + singular verb is normally preferred tO all (the) people + plural verb, i. e. we say E 0 e な / の instead 0f A 〃 the 加 0 カル 4 4 の .

He ん as 川 0 〃 e 4 〃肥召の . ln formal English we keep l/we, as the pronoun is still considered t0 be the subject 0f the verb even though the verb has been omitted. ln informal English, however, me/us is more usual: He ん as 襯 0 〃 4 川 e. T んり us. When than/as is followed by he/she/it + verb, we normally keep the verb: Yo 4 s レ 0 れ g 催 4 〃 he な . But we can drop the verb and use he/she/they ⅲ very formal English or him/her/them in very colloquial English.

()therwise a lot/ a good deal/a great deal is preferable: He 04 な so 川ん . But He s 4 lo g . very much meaning greatly can be used more widely ⅲ the affirmative.

Ann 加 or T んなな A れ劜 She must not say A れ〃なん召 or 丑催な A 劜 The adverbs away ( = 0 , down, in, 0 仕 , out, over, round, up etc. can be followed by a verb of motion 十 a noun subject: A 肥 ) e れ一 the 川催 s. の 0 れ元〃 4 面 2 4 s. 0 s. カ川れ g the 側 . 04 れな〃 d 川〃 d ア e the が 4 . But if the subject is a pronoun it is placed before the verb: A りた 04 れ d 4 川〃 d ″ル乢 There is more drama ・ⅲ this order than in subject 十 verb 十 adverb but no difference ln meamng. ln written English adverbials introduced by prepositions ( イ 0 〃 , 0 川 , 切 , 0 川 0 0 4 〃 d , ゆ etc. ) can be followed by verbs indicating position ( c 4 , ん g , , sit, stand etc. ), by verbs of motion, by 厖わ 0 , 市の〃 and sometimes other verbs: F 川川 the 川ア s ん g れ gs 0 0 . ル召面催 s ね 0 4 川〃れ 4 gu ル 0 4 加尾ん厖ん sat 況 " 0 た 0 the 4 〃川 e 4 s ん 0 e / s 〃 . The first three of these examples could also be expressed by a participle and the verb 厖 : 〃 4 g 切 g 0 川 the 川ア催 s e strings 可 0 0 . Standing 切召面 0 ) as 4 川〃〃″ん 4 gu ル Sitting 0 4 加尾ん厖 s / 川 4 わ I 加〃房 . But a participle could not be used with the last example unless the shower Of stones lasted for some time. Adverbs of time afterwards, eventually, lately, now, recently, soon, then, tOday, tomorrow etc. and adverb phrases Of time: at once, since then, till ( 6.00 etc. ) These are usually placed at the very begnmng or at the very end of the clause, i. e. ⅲ front posiåon or end position. End position is usual with imperatives and phrases with till: E 怩厩 4 he 川レ″ came 〃 . T 加〃 we ん 0 川レⅣ e 一ん 0 川 e 召ル Ⅳねツ . 尸〃″〃〃ね川 0 " 0 乢 (For lately, recently, see also 185. ) With compound tenses, eventually, lately, now, recently, since and soon can come after the auxiliary: We ' 〃 so 厖 e 尾 55

C 167 A B 1 2 17 Present tenses For a deflnite arrangement in the near future (the most usual way of expressing one lmmediate plans) : / 切川〃〃 g 催ね . He な々 g 川召召レ e. Are 面切 g 4 切 g ね川 0 〃 0 4 ア召川 00 ル P ~ Yes, / ' 川が切 g れれな″ん A 〃ル Note that the time of the action must always be mentioned, as otherwise there might be confusion between present and future meanings. come and go, however, can be used in this way without a time expression. (See 202 B. ) Other possible uses of the present continuous With a point in time to indicate an action which beglns before this point and probably continues after it: A / の〃厖切 g the 厖 . (I start bathing him before six. ) Similarly with a verb in the simple present: They 〃ア〃 g 催召加〃 0 怩 g 切知ホ . The present continuous IS rarely used in this way except in descnptions Of daily routine and in dramatic narrative , but the past continuous is Often combined with a point in time or a verb in the simple past. (See 179 C, E. ) With always: 〃な〃 s losing んなん s. This form is used, chiefly in the affirmative : For a frequently repeated action, usually when the frequency annoys the speaker or seems unreasonable tO him: TO 川な 4 ) s gomg 4 の ' 知肥〃ホ (present continuous) would imply that he goes away very Often, probably tOO often in the speaker's opinion. But it does not necessarily mean that he goes away every weekend. lt is not a literal statement. Compare with always 十 simple present: TO 川 4 / 肥の , s goes 〃肥々 e ホ TO 川 go 4 の , 召怩々 . (a literal statement) l/we + always 十 continuous tense is alSO possible here. The repeated action is then often accidental: For an action WhiCh appears t() be continuous: This sort Of action quite often annoys the speaker but doesn't necessarily d0 so: 〃 's 肥 s 〃市〃 g could imply that he spends t00 much time reading, but could alSO be said in a tone Of approval. The first person could be used here t00. The action then, like the other actions here in 2 , is usually deliberate. 155
39 List 0f irregular verbs lrregular verbs The verbs ⅲ roman type are verbs which are not very common ln modern English but may be found ⅲ literature. When a verb has two possible forms and one is less usual than the other, the less usual one will be printed ⅲ roman. Compounds Of irregular verbs form their past tenses and past participle s in the same way as the original verb : 364 come 0 e / じ 0 川 e set 0 e / ca 川召 set come 0 / CO e set Pre sent and infinitive SimpIe past abide anse わ ea / become befall beget 厖 g behold 厖れ d beseech bid ( = co 川川 4 の わ ( = 。加わ わ d abode arose わ 0 わ eca befell begot 厖 ga ” beheld be sought 厖 d, 乃可 bade bid わ 04 れイ Past participle abode 〃れ S 召れ awoken/awaked わ乃 0 川 * become befallen begotten 厖 gu beheld 厖 d 乃 * besought bidden bid わ 04 れ d *These past participles are not optional but carry different meamngs and should be checked by the student ⅲ a reliable dictionary. 353
30 302 A B C D The passive V01Ce Form The passive of an active tense is formed by putting the verb tO be intO the same tense as the active verb and adding the past participle Of the active verb. The subject Of the active verb becomes the ・ agent' Of the passive verb. The agent is very Often not mentioned. When it is mentioned it is preceded by by and placed at the end Of the clause: This tree as が 4 g 川 d. 既 Examples Of present, past and perfect passive tenses: Active Passive Active Passive Active Passive We ゆ the わな催 .

Active T ん催 e / 切 g the 切ル / が催 0 ガ万 e . Passive The 切ル d がげ as 厖切 g / 0 ガ e 加 . Other continuous tenses are exceedingly rarely used in the passive, SO that sentences such as: T んん〃膨 ad 厖 / ゆ房 g the 川 ad and り〃加 04 厖 / ゆ 4 ⅵれ g ル川 4 are not normally put intO the passive.
