Final Notes for Students:

• Adverbs modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs (e.g., creatively).
• Subject-verb agreement is crucial (e.g., one of the students → is).
• Prepositions like on foot are fixed phrases.
• Modals (must, may, might, can’t) express possibility, certainty, or impossibility.
• Future perfect (will have done) is used for actions completed before another future time.
• Connectives like despite show contrast.
• Passive voice shifts focus from the doer to the action (is estimated by).
• Reported speech changes tenses (did → had paid).
