1.2 Phonetic symbols

1.3 Types of words
1.3.1. Adjective (Adj.)
1.3.1.1 Usages: An adjective describes a person or thing. It gives the reader or
speaker extra information about a noun or delimits it in some way, such as long hair,
red wine etc.
1.3.1.2 Forms: a word (beautiful, clever) and a phrase (an old tall man).
1.3.1.3 Positions: It can occur in two positions in a phrase:
- Before the noun as in clear water, beautiful beaches, a terrible decision
(attributive).
- After any form of the verb be (e.g. am, is, was, been) and similar verbs
(seem, appear, become) as in the water became clear, the beaches are beautiful
(predicative).
1.3.1.4 Types: We cannot divide clearly, but the -ing adjective tells us about
things or events (politics is very interesting; my job is boring), and the -ed adjective
tells us how somebody feels about those things or events (Julia is interested in
politics; I’m bored with my job).

1.3.2 Adverb (Adv.)
1.3.2.1 Usages: An adverb tells us about a verb. An adverb tells us how
somebody does something or how something happens (Tom drives carefully; it rains
heavily). An adverb adds more information about place, time, manner, cause or
degree to a verb, an adjective, a phrase or another adverb.
1.3.2.2 Forms: The class of adverbs is very wide-ranging in form and is used
to add comments to many of the other word classes.
- Normally made from adjectives by the addition of the ending: => Adjective + –ly
(quickly, hopelessly), e.g. awful -> awfully, incredible -> incredibly; slow ->
slowly.
- Other words which are difficult to classify, like not, just and soon.
1.3.2.3 Positions:
- After verb and/or an object (she speaks English perfectly; they walk quickly etc.).
- Before adjectives and/or other adverbs (terribly sorry; incredibly quickly etc.).
1.3.2.4 Types:
- Adverbs of frequency, such as never, usually, always, seldom, etc.
- Adverbs of place, time, manner, cause or degree, such as quietly, sadly etc.
1.3.3 Conjunction (Conj.)
1.3.3.1 Usages: Conjunctions connect two or more clauses, phrases or words
together to make longer constructions.
1.3.3.2 Forms: a word (but, then, although) and a phrase (in case of; as long
as).
1.3.3.3 Position:
- Before a noun and at the beginning of a sentence:
Despite the rain, they enjoy their holiday.
Although the traffic was bad, I arrived on time.
- Before a noun and in the middle of a sentence(s)
We didn’t go out because of the rain.
I didn’t get the job in spite of the fact (that) I had all necessary qualifications.
- At the end of a sentence (in spoken language):

The house isn’t very nice, I like the garden though. (= but I like the garden).
1.3.3.4 Types:
- The coordinating conjunction: connects the same grammatical status.
Examples: a) The coffee was strong, but sweet.
b) We can go to the match or watch it on TV.
c) She has a dog and two cats.
- The subordinating conjunction cannot stand on its own, but needs another more
important clause to complete the meaning.
Examples: d) When I arrived home, they had already eaten.
e) I had to stop driving because the rain was so bad.
f) Can I have a word with you, if you’ve got the time?
g) Although he can’t swim, he goes sailing.


1.3.4 Noun (N.)
1.3.4.1 Usages: Noun refers to:
- A person, examples: Ann, Peter, woman, Prime Minister, pianist etc.
- A quality or a an activity, examples: plant, sorrow, tennis etc.
- A place, examples: office, cabin, deck floor, railway station etc.
1.3.4.2 Forms: a word (ship; harbor) or group of words (noun phrases, such
as: Second Officer; Dog Watch; some ports; a bigger vessel etc.).
1.3.4.3 Positions: before and/or after a verb (a cat catches a mouse). Noun
can be a subject, an object, a complement or an object of a preposition, example: I
spoke to the driver of the car.
1.3.4.4 Types: we can easily recognize the nouns into two types: Common
nouns and Proper nouns (the names of a specific person, place, event etc., usually
starting with a capital letter, for example, York , John, Christmas, Saturday); but
both of them continue to be divided into two main groups below:
- Countable nouns:
+ singular: a seaman, a pilot, an idea…

+ plural: seamen, pilots, ideas…
- Uncountable nouns: can not use any numbers before them directly: water, fuel, ice,
…
1.3.5 Preposition (Prep.)
1.3.5.1 Usages: We use the preposition to talk about:
- Either time or space: in, on, under, beside, through, inside, before, opposite.
- Possession (the seat of mine), cause (because of), purpose (in order to), and
method (by bicycle).
1.3.5.2 Forms:
- Multi-word units: out of, by means of, in spite of, instead of, up to etc.
- A part of a verb: get in, pick up, switch off
- Phrase containing a noun: at school, in the summer, over the moon,…
1.3.5.3 Positions:
- Before nouns of time, places or means / methods (at sunset; about 20 minutes; in
classroom; on the ship; by train; on foot; by hand; by somebody).
- After nouns to tell about causes, effects (reason for; demand of).
- After verbs to tell about directions (run up; push in; reply to a letter).
- After adjectives: (good for nothing; excited about going out; It’s very kind of you).
1.3.5.4 Types:
- Prepositions of time: in, on, at,…
- Prepositions of position (space; place): behind, between, in, in front of, next to,
opposite, on, under, …
- Prepositions of movement: above, down, out of, over, into, round, through, up,...
1.3.6 Pronoun (Pron.)
1.3.6.1 Usages: A pronoun is used instead of a noun or a noun phrase.
Pronouns are usually treated as a special sub-class of nouns. Some examples of
pronouns are: I, you, he, she, our, its, something, anyone and so on.


Examples:

Bill’s arrived. Bill’s in the lounge => Bill’s arrived. He’s in the lounge.
A person called for you => Someone called for you.
1.3.6.2 Forms: a word (we, anybody) and a phrase (both of them).
1.3.6.3 Positions: as a noun or a noun phrase, but not at the first sentence.
1.3.6.4 Types:
- Demonstrative Pronouns: this, that, these, those, one, ones.
- Personal Pronouns: I, you, he, she, it, we, they.
- Possessive Pronouns: mine, yours, his, hers, its, ours, theirs.
- Relative Pronouns: whom, which, that, etc.
- Reflexive Pronouns: myself, yourself, himself, herself, itself, ourselves, yourselves,
themselves.
1.3.7 Verb (V.)
1.3.7.1 Usages: Verb expresses an action (row), an event (happen) or a state
(exist).
1.3.7.2 Forms: a word (watch, steer) or group of words (verb phrases such as
look at, think about, let out, etc.).
1.3.7.3 Positions: after a noun and/or pronoun (N = S): He runs along the
river-bank; We went on board at twelve, …
1.3.7.4 Types:
- Action verbs: run, initiate, judge, throw, …
- Non-action verbs: see, know, think and so on.

A SAILOR FAMILY
Trung is thirty two years old. He works for Fancon Shipping Company. In the Ship’s
crew, his working place is in the Deck Department. He is a man with a lot of knowledge
and practical experience in seamanship.
Trung is a sailor inborn. His father was an experienced Master and his mother was an
accountant of Tan Cang Port. From childhood, he dreamed to become a sailor to travel

everywhere. After graduated, he went on board to do lots of work that he didn’t learn at
the university: cooking, cleaning, etc ...
Now, Trung is a Bosun. He is married. His wife is a doctor at Navy Hospital. They have
a three-year daughter. His ship travels to many places, inland ports and oversea ports.
Once a month, he comes back home to visit his family, which is an extended one. His
parents are retired. They help him to look after family when his spouses go to work.
Everyday, his wife goes to work by motorcycle. She takes their daughter to the
kindergarten, too.
Trung loves his family so much. When the ship is underway, he misses parents, his wife,
especial the laugh of his little daughter. But when going ashore, he misses his ship, the
sounds of waves … That is a real sailor’s life.
