Cách phát âm danh từ số nhiều
a) Số nhiều của danh từ thường được tạo bằng cách thêm “S” vào số ít
S được phát âm là /s/ sau âm P, K, F. Ngoài ra nó được phát âm là /z/.
Ví dụ: house - houses, cat - cats, shirt - shirts
Khi S đặt sau CH, CE, GE, SE hoặc ZE, các từ đó khi đọc lên sẽ có thêm một vần được
phát âm là /iz/
b) Các danh từ kết thúc bằng S, SS, SH, TCH, CH, X, Z khi chuyển sang số nhiều đều
thêm -ES vào cuối, như:
gases (hơi), masses (khối), dishes (món ăn), churches (nhà thờ), ditches (hố), boxes (hộp),
topazes (hoàng ngọc). Khi ES đặt sau CH, SH, SS hoặc X, các từ dó khi đọc lên sẽ có them
một vần được phát âm là /iz/
Cách phát âm S tận cùng:
1. Được phát âm là /z/: khi đi sau các nguyên âm và các phụ âm tỏ (voiced
consonants), cụ thể là các phụ âm sau: /b/, /d/, /g/, /v/, /T/, /m/, /n/, /N/, /l/, /r/
Ví dụ: boys, lies, ways, pubs, words, pigs, loves, bathes, rooms, turns, things, walls,
cars.
2. Được phát âm là /s/: khi đi sau các phụ âm điếc (voiceless consonants), cụ thể là
các phụ âm sau: /f/, /k/, /p/, /t/ và /H/.
Ví dụ: laughs, walks, cups, cats, tenths.
3. Được phát âm là /iz/: khi đi sau một phụ âm rít (hissing consonants), cụ thể là các
phụ âm sau: /z/, /s/, /dZ/, /tS/, /S/, /Z/.
Ví dụ: refuses, passes, judges, churches, garages, wishes

Lưu ý: used to + V nguyên mẫu (đã từng)
# be/ get used to + V-ing/ Noun (quen với)
E.g: He is used to having dinner at 6 o’clock.
Mary has lived in Vietnam for two years. She is used to the hot climate here.
Nghi vấn: Did + use to + V nguyên mẫu
Phủ định: S + didn’t + use to + V nguyên mẫu
B. Thì quá khứ đơn (the simple past tense)
1. Công thức: S + V (ở quá khứ) + …
2. Cách dùng: thì quá khứ đơn diễn tả hành động đã xảy ra và chấm dứt ở quá khứ với
thời gian xác định rõ ràng.
E.g: I went to the cinema last week.

5. Cách thêm “ED”

E.g: watched, enjoyed, wanted, …
• Động từ tận cùng bằng “e”, chúng ta cỉ thêm “d”
E.g: loved, liked, wasted, lived, …
• Động từ tận cùng bằng “y”
 Trước “y” là một nguyên âm (a, e, i, o, u), chúng ta thêm “ed” như bình thường.
E.g: played, stayed, …
 Trước “y” là một phụ âm, chúng ta đổi “y” thành “i” rồi thêm “ed”
E.g: studied, tried, shied, …
• Động từ một vần tận cùng là một phụ âm, trước nó là một nguyên âm, chúng ta gấp đôi
phụ âm rồi thêm “ed”
E.g: stopped, planned, tipped, …
• Động từ hai vần có vần thứ 2 được nhấn và tận cùng bằng một phụ âm, trước nó là một
nguyên âm thì chúng ta gấp đôi phụ âm rồi thêm “ed”

C. The unreal past with “wish” (thì quá khứ giả định với động từ wish)
S + wish (that) + S + V ở quá khứ
Câu với động từ “wish” theo sau nó là thì quá khứ giả định dùng để diễn tả sự ao ước về các
sự việc, tình huống ở hiện tại không theo ý muốn của chúng ta. Thì quá khứ giả định giống
như thì quá khứ đơn. Riêng động từ “to be” ta dùng “were” cho tất cả các ngôi.
