🎧 Listening – Lesson 12

🎧 Cooking Dialogue + Questions

👨‍🍳 Chef: "OK everyone, today we make a Khmer curry! 🍛 First, peel the potatoes and slice them into small pieces. Then fry the onions in hot oil for 5 minutes. Add the spices and heat everything together. Finally, boil the coconut milk and add the meat. Let it roast in the oven for 30 minutes! 🔥"

1️⃣ What do you use to remove the skin from a potato? 🥔

2️⃣ You cut the potatoes into thin pieces. What verb is this? 🔪

✅ Slice — "Slice the potatoes into thin pieces." Slice = cut thinly and evenly.

3️⃣ Order these cooking steps correctly: fry 🛢️ / peel 🥔 / add ➕ / boil ♨️

✅ peel → fry → add → boil
You usually prep first (peel), then cook (fry), then combine (add), then finish (boil).

📐 Grammar – Lesson 12

🔮 Future: going to

📌 When to Use "going to"

✅ Use for future PLANS or INTENTIONS already decided 🎯

✅ "I am going to study medicine." (I already decided this!)

✅ "She is going to cook dinner tonight." (already planned!)

📐 The Formula

Subject + am/is/are + going to + INFINITIVE (base verb)

➕ I am going to travel. | She is going to call.

➖ I am not going to travel. | She isn't going to call.

❓ Are you going to travel? | Is she going to call?

✅ Positive Examples

🛫 "We are going to fly to Bangkok."

🎂 "He is going to bake a cake."

📚 "I am going to study tonight."

❌ Negative Examples

🚗 "I am not going to drive."

🎮 "She isn't going to play games."

🏃 "They aren't going to run."

🔑 Cheat Code: "going to" = already DECIDED. "will" = decided NOW in the moment. Example: "I am going to travel next week" (planned last month) vs "I will carry your bag!" (just decided now) 💡

📝 Questions – Going To

📝 Test Yourself! Going to

1️⃣ Choose the correct form: "She ________ a party next weekend." 🎉

2️⃣ Make this question: "You / go / to the gym / tomorrow?" 🏋️

✅ "Are you going to go to the gym tomorrow?"
Formula: Are/Is/Am + subject + going to + infinitive?

3️⃣ Why do we use "going to" here? → "I'm going to graduate next year." 🎓

✅ Because it's a future plan already decided. The speaker enrolled in university years ago and graduation is a fixed plan, not a sudden decision.

4️⃣ Correct the error: "They going to visit us on Sunday." 📅

5️⃣ Write a negative sentence about your weekend plans. 📝

✅ "I am not going to work this weekend." 😴
"She isn't going to attend the party." 🚫🎉

📝 More Questions – Going To

📝 Going To – Extra Practice!

6️⃣ Fill in: "________ he going to study engineering?" 🔧

7️⃣ Which sentence is WRONG? ❌

📝 Questions – Lesson 14

📝 Test Yourself! Home Vocabulary

1️⃣ The bedroom is on the second floor. Where is it? 🛏️

2️⃣ All the tables, chairs, and sofas in your house — what is the general word? 🛋️

✅ Furniture — "furniture" is uncountable! We say "some furniture" NOT "a furniture" ✅

3️⃣ Which room do you use for watching TV and relaxing with the family? 📺

4️⃣ Fill the blank: "It's very hot in Cambodia 🥵, so we always use the __________."

✅ air conditioning (or "air conditioner / AC") — the essential Cambodian appliance! ❄️

📐 Grammar – Lesson 15

💼 Auxiliary Verbs: have to / don't have to

📌 Meaning

✅ Have to = It is NECESSARY / OBLIGATORY 📋

✅ Don't have to = It is NOT NECESSARY (but you can if you want) 🆓

⚠️ Don't have to ≠ Must not! "Must not" = FORBIDDEN. "Don't have to" = just not required.

📐 Formula

✅ Positive: Subject + have/has to + infinitive

❌ Negative: Subject + don't/doesn't + have to + infinitive

❓ Question: Do/Does + subject + have to + infinitive?

✅ Examples: HAVE TO

📋 "Students have to wear uniform." (necessary!)

👩‍💼 "She has to finish the report." (she/he/it → HAS)

⏰ "I have to wake up at 6am."

❌ Examples: DON'T HAVE TO

😎 "You don't have to wear a tie."

🏖️ "She doesn't have to work on Sundays."

🚗 "We don't have to drive — it's close!"

🔑 He/She/It Rule: Always use HAS to (not have) with he, she, it. → "He has to study." ✅ | "He have to study." ❌

🎧 Listening – Lesson 15

🎧 Dialogue: Responsibilities at Work 💼

👔 Boss: "Welcome to the team! 🎉 You have to arrive at 8am every day. You also have to write a daily report."

🧑 Employee: "Do I have to wear a suit? 👔"

👔 Boss: "No, you don't have to wear a suit — smart casual is fine! But you have to attend the Monday meeting."

🧑 Employee: "Does everyone have to attend?"

👔 Boss: "Yes! Everyone has to be there. It's mandatory! 📋"

1️⃣ Does the employee HAVE TO wear a suit? 👔

2️⃣ Why is it "HAS to" for "everyone has to be there"? 🤔

✅ "Everyone" is treated as a singular subject (like he/she/it), so we use has to not "have to". Rule: he/she/it/everyone/nobody → HAS TO

📝 Questions – Lesson 15

📝 Test Yourself! Have to / Don't have to

1️⃣ "She ________ work on Saturdays. (not necessary)" 📅

2️⃣ Make a question: "he / has to / submit the form today?" 📝

✅ "Does he have to submit the form today?"
Questions: Do/Does + subject + have to + infinitive

3️⃣ "You ________ be quiet in the library." (it's necessary!!) 📚🤫

4️⃣ What's the difference? "You don't have to eat it." vs "You must not eat it." 🍔

✅ Don't have to = You can choose — it's not necessary but OK if you want.
✅ Must not = FORBIDDEN — you are not allowed! Big difference! 🚫

📝 Questions – Health

📝 Health Questions + Dialogue

👨‍⚕️ Doctor: "Good morning! What's the matter? 😷"
🤒 Patient: "I have a sore throat and I feel dizzy. I also have a fever of 38°C."
👨‍⚕️ Doctor: "Do you cough or sneeze?"
🤒 Patient: "Yes, I cough a lot at night. And my back aches too."
👨‍⚕️ Doctor: "I see. You need to take this medicine three times a day. Rest and drink water! 💧"

1️⃣ What phrase does the doctor use to ask "what's wrong?" 🤔

2️⃣ The patient's temperature is high. What illness do they have? 🌡️

✅ A fever — "have a fever" = high body temperature (over 37.5°C). Also "catch a cold" could apply here.

📐 Grammar – Lesson 16

✅ Modal Verb: should / shouldn't

📌 Meaning

✅ Should = It's a good idea / advice / recommendation 💡

❌ Shouldn't = It's NOT a good idea / bad advice 🚫

⚠️ Should is WEAKER than have to — it's advice, not a rule!

📐 Formula

✅ Positive: Subject + should + infinitive (no "to")

❌ Negative: Subject + should + not (shouldn't) + infinitive

❓ Question: Should + subject + infinitive?

✅ SHOULD Examples

💊 "You should take medicine." (advice)

💤 "He should sleep more."

🥗 "We should eat healthily."

❌ SHOULDN'T Examples

🚬 "You shouldn't smoke." (bad idea!)

🌙 "He shouldn't stay up late."

🍔 "She shouldn't eat junk food."

🔑 Key Rule: After "should/shouldn't", the verb is ALWAYS bare infinitive (no "to", no "s"). ✅ "should go" ❌ NOT "should to go" / "should goes"

📝 Questions – Should

📝 Test Yourself! Should / Shouldn't

1️⃣ "You have a headache. You ________ rest." 🛌

2️⃣ "You are trying to sleep. You ________ use your phone." 📱

3️⃣ Find the MISTAKE: "She should goes to the doctor." 🏥

❌ "goes" → ✅ "go"
After "should", always use the BASE FORM (infinitive without "to"): "She should go to the doctor." ✅

4️⃣ Make a question: "I / should / call / the doctor?" 📞

✅ "Should I call the doctor?"
Questions: Should + subject + base verb?

5️⃣ Give advice to a classmate who has a cold. Write 2 sentences! 🤒

📝 More Questions – Should

📝 Should/Shouldn't – More Practice

6️⃣ "________ students use phones in class?" 📱 (asking for advice)

7️⃣ What is the main difference between "should" and "have to"? 🤔

✅ Should = ADVICE (good idea but not forced). "You should exercise more." 💪
✅ Have to = OBLIGATION (necessary, a rule). "You have to pay taxes." 📋
Think of "should" as your mum's advice and "have to" as the law!

8️⃣ Write a "shouldn't" sentence about exam preparation. ✍️

✅ "You shouldn't leave studying until the night before." 😰
✅ "You shouldn't use your phone during revision." 📵

📐 Grammar – Lessons 17–18

⏰ Time Words: since / for / ago / from…to / until

📌 Core Meanings

Word	Meaning	Example
⏰ since	When something STARTED (and still continues now)	"I've lived here since 2020."
⌛ for	HOW LONG something lasts (a duration)	"I've studied for 3 years."
🔙 ago	How far BEFORE NOW something happened (past)	"I arrived 2 days ago."
↔️ from…to	Start time TO end time	"I work from 8am to 5pm."
🛑 until	Up to the point in time when something stops	"Wait until I arrive."

🔑 SINCE vs FOR Memory Trick:
SINCE = a specific POINT in time → 2020, Monday, last week, I was 5 years old 📍
FOR = a PERIOD of time → 3 years, 2 hours, a long time ⏱️
Ask: "Is it a POINT or a PERIOD?" → That decides your answer!

📐 Grammar – Time Words

⏰ Since / For – Examples & Context

📍 SINCE = specific starting point

📅 "I've studied English since 2019."

📅 "She's lived in Phnom Penh since January."

📅 "He's been sick since Monday."

📅 "We've been friends since we were kids."

⏱️ FOR = duration (length of time)

🕐 "I've studied English for 5 years."

🕐 "She worked there for 6 months."

🕐 "He's been sick for 3 days."

🕐 "We've been friends for a long time."

🔙 AGO – Used with PAST SIMPLE (finished action)

⚠️ AGO always goes at the END of the time expression

📅 "I moved here 3 years ago." (= 3 years before NOW)

📅 "She called me 10 minutes ago."

📅 "They met 5 years ago."

📝 Questions – Time Words

📝 Since / For / Ago – Test Yourself!

1️⃣ "I have lived in Cambodia ________ 2018." 🇰🇭

2️⃣ "She studied at this college ________ two years." 📚

3️⃣ "He graduated three years __________." 🎓

4️⃣ "The library is open ________ 9am ________ 6pm." 📚

✅ "The library is open from 9am to 6pm."
FROM…TO = fixed start and end time.

5️⃣ Choose: SINCE or FOR? "I've known her ________ we were in primary school." 🏫

✅ Since — "when we were in primary school" is a POINT in time (a specific moment), not a duration.

⭐ Special Focus – Present Perfect Continuous

🔄 Present Perfect Continuous (PPC) – Deep Dive!

📌 When to Use PPC

1️⃣ An action that STARTED in the past and is STILL happening NOW 🔄

2️⃣ An action RECENTLY STOPPED but with visible results now 👀

3️⃣ To emphasise the DURATION or CONTINUITY of an action ⏳

📐 The Formula

Subject + have/has + been + verb-ING

➕ "I have been studying English for 5 years."

➖ "She hasn't been sleeping well lately."

❓ "How long have you been waiting?"

🔑 EASY MEMORY FORMULA:
have/has + been + verb-ING
Think: "HAVE BEEN = past started | ING = still going on!" 🎯
He → HAS been | I/You/We/They → HAVE been

⭐ Present Perfect Continuous

🔄 PPC vs Present Perfect Simple — What's the Difference?

🔄 PPC – Focus on DURATION/PROCESS

📖 "I have been reading this book all day." (still reading, or just finished)

🏋️ "She has been exercising since morning."

😴 "He has been sleeping for 10 hours."

✅ PP Simple – Focus on COMPLETION/RESULT

📖 "I have read this book." (finished! ✅)

🏋️ "She has exercised today." (completed)

😴 "He has slept well." (result: feels rested)

🎭 Real Context Examples

💧 "Your hands are wet. Have you been washing them?" (PPC — the process)

💧 "Have you washed the dishes?" (PP Simple — done or not?)

📝 "I have been writing this essay for 3 hours." (still going)

📝 "I have written the essay." (it's done!)

⭐ Present Perfect Continuous

🔄 PPC + Since / For = Perfect Partners! 💑

PPC LOVES since and for! 🎉

⏱️ "I have been studying for 3 hours." (duration = FOR)

📍 "I have been studying since 9am." (starting point = SINCE)

⏱️ "She has been working here for 2 years."

📍 "He has been living in Phnom Penh since 2019."

⏱️ "They have been waiting for 30 minutes." 😤

🔑 PPC CHEAT CODE 🔥

Formula: have/has + been + VERB-ING

With "how long?" questions → always use PPC!

"How long HAVE you BEEN WORKING here?" ✅

Signs of PPC: "lately", "recently", "all day", "for + time", "since + point"

He/She/It = HAS been | I/You/We/They = HAVE been

📝 Questions – PPC

📝 Present Perfect Continuous – Test Yourself!

1️⃣ "She ________ (study) all night. She looks tired." 😴

2️⃣ "How long ________ you ________ English?" 🗣️

3️⃣ "They ________ (wait) for the bus since 7am!" 🚌

✅ "They have been waiting for the bus since 7am!"
Formula: they → HAVE + been + wait-ING ✅

4️⃣ Which shows DURATION: "I have written 3 emails" OR "I have been writing emails all morning"?

✅ "I have been writing emails all morning" = shows DURATION (continuous process)
"I have written 3 emails" = shows RESULT (how many = count)

📝 More PPC Questions

📝 PPC – More Practice! 🔥

5️⃣ "I ________ (learn) Khmer since I moved to Cambodia." 🇰🇭

6️⃣ What are the TWO signals in this sentence? → "She has been cooking for 2 hours." 🍳

✅ Signal 1: has been cooking = PPC formula (has + been + -ING)
✅ Signal 2: for 2 hours = duration (FOR + period of time)
Both together = classic Present Perfect Continuous! 🎯

7️⃣ Make a PPC sentence about yourself using "since". ✍️

✅ "I have been studying at this college since September." 📚
"I have been living in Phnom Penh since I was born." 🏙️
"I have been learning English since I was 10 years old." 🗣️

8️⃣ Fix the error: "He have been work here for six months." 💼

Errors fixed: have → has (he = singular) | work → working (needs -ING)

⭐ Special Focus – Modal Verbs

🗣️ Modal Verbs – Complete Master Guide!

📌 What ARE Modal Verbs?

Modal verbs are HELPER verbs that show how CERTAIN, NECESSARY, or POSSIBLE something is.

⚠️ Golden Rule: After modal verbs, ALWAYS use BASE VERB (no "to", no "s", no "-ing")

✅ "She can speak Khmer." ❌ NOT "She can speaks" | NOT "She can to speak"

Modal	Meaning	Example
🔵 can	Ability / permission	"I can swim." 🏊
🟢 could	Past ability / polite request	"Could you help me?" 🙏
🟡 should	Advice / recommendation	"You should sleep." 😴
🟠 have to	Obligation / necessity	"I have to study." 📚
🔴 must	Strong obligation / must not = forbidden	"You must not cheat." 🚫
🟣 will	Future (instant decision)	"I will help!" 🙋
⚪ would	Conditional / polite	"I would like a coffee." ☕
🔵 might/may	Possibility (not sure)	"It might rain today." 🌧️

⭐ Modal Verbs Rules

🗣️ Modal Verb Rules – No Exceptions!

✅ Correct Modal Structures

She can speak three languages. ✅

You should rest today. ✅

I must finish this. ✅

He might come later. ✅

We could try a new restaurant. ✅

❌ Common Mistakes

She can speaks ❌ → can speak ✅

You should to rest ❌ → should rest ✅

I must to finish ❌ → must finish ✅

He might comes ❌ → might come ✅

She cans swim ❌ → can swim ✅

🔑 MODAL VERB CHEAT CODES

1. Modal verbs NEVER change for he/she/it — no "s"! ✅

2. NEVER use "to" after: can, could, should, must, will, would, might, may

3. EXCEPTION: "have to" — this IS followed by "to"! (have TO + infinitive)

5. Questions: flip the modal and subject! → "Should I...?" "Can you...?" "Must we...?"
