A. Ngữ pháp tiếng Anh lớp 8 học kì 1 năm học 2022 - 2023
I. Thì Quá khứ tiếp diễn - The past continuous tense
1.1. Khẳng định:
S + was/were + V-ing
Trong đó: S (subject): chủ ngữ
V-ing: động từ thêm “–ing”
CHÚ Ý:
- S = I/ He/ She/ It + was
- S = We/ You/ They + were
Ví dụ:
- She was cooking dinner at 5 p.m yesterday.(Cô ấy đang nấu bữa tối vào lúc 5h chiều hôm qua)
- They were playing badminton when I came yesterday. (Họ đang chơi cầu lông khi tôi đến ngày hôm qua.)
1.2. Phủ định:
S + wasn’t/ weren’t + V-ing
Câu phủ định tả chỉ cần thêm “not” ngay sau “to be”.
CHÚ Ý:
- was not = wasn’t
- were not = weren’t
Ví dụ:
- He wasn’t working when his boss came yesterday.
- We weren’t watching TV at 9 p.m yesterday.
1.3. Câu hỏi:
Was/ Were + S + V-ing ?
Trả lời: Yes, I/ he/ she/ it + was. – No, I/ he/ she/ it + wasn’t.
Yes, we/ you/ they + were. – No, we/ you/ they + weren’t.
Câu hỏi ta chỉ cần đảo “to be” lên trước chủ ngữ.
Ví dụ:
- Was your mother going to the market at 7 a.m yesterday?
Yes, she was./ No, she wasn’t.
- Were they staying with you when I called you yesterday?
Yes, they were./ No, they weren’t.
2. CÁCH SỬ DỤNG CỦA THÌ QUÁ KHỨ TIẾP DIỄN
2.1. Dùng để diễn tả một hành động đang xảy ra tại một thời điểm xác định trong quá khứ.
Ví dụ:
- At 12 o’clock yesterday, we were having lunch. (Vào lúc 12h ngày hôm qua, chúng tôi đang ăn trưa.)
Ta thấy “lúc 12h ngày hôm qua” là một giờ cụ thể trong quá khứ, vào tại thời điểm này thì việc “ăn trưa” đang diễn ra nên ta sử dụng thì quá khứ tiếp diễn.
- At this time 2 days ago, I was travelling in America. (Vào thời gian này cách đây 2 ngày, tôi đang du lịch bên Mỹ.)
2.2. Dùng để diễn tả một hành động đang xảy ra thì một hành động khác xen vào.
- Hành động đang xảy ra chia thì quá khứ tiếp diễn, hành động xen vào chia thì quá khứ đơn.
Ví dụ:
- He was chatting with his friend when his mother came into the room. (Cậu ta đang tán gẫu với bạn khi mẹ cậu ta vào phòng.)
Ta thấy có hai hành động đều xảy ra trong quá khứ: “tán gẫu với bạn” và “mẹ vào phòng”. Vào thời điểm đó hành động “tán gẫu với bạn” đang diễn ra thì bị xen ngang bởi hành động “mẹ vào phòng”. Vậy hành động đang diễn ra ta sẽ chia thì quá khứ tiếp diễn.
- They were working when we got there. (Họ đang làm việc khi chúng tôi tới đó.)
2.3. Diễn tả hai hành động đồng thời xảy ra tại một thời điểm trong quá khứ, trong câu có “while”.
Tại một thời điểm trong quá khứ khi có 2 hành động đồng thời đang diễn ra sẽ chia cả hai hành động đó ở thì quá khứ tiếp diễn.
Ví dụ:
- My mother was cooking lunch while my father was cleaning the floor at 10 am yesterday. (Mẹ tôi đang nấu ăn trong khi bố tôi đang lau nhà lúc 10h sang hôm qua.)
- I was studying English while my brother was listening to music last night. (Tôi đang học tiếng Anh trong khi anh trai tôi đang nghe nhạc tối hôm qua.)
3. DẤU HIỆU NHẬN BIẾT
+ Trong câu có các trạng từ chỉ thời gian trong quá khứ kèm theo thời điểm xác định.
- at + giờ + thời gian trong quá khứ (at 12 o’clock last night,…)
- at this time + thời gian trong quá khứ. (at this time two weeks ago, …)
- in + năm (in 2000, in 2005)
- in the past (trong quá khứ)
+ Trong câu có “when” khi diễn tả một hành động đang xảy ra và một hành động khác xen vào.

III. So sánh hơn với tính từ - Comparative forms of Adjecttives
Sử dụng so sánh hơn của tính từ để so sánh giữa người (hoặc vật) này với người (hoặc vật) khác. Trong so sánh hơn, tính từ sẽ được chia làm hai loại là tính từ dài và tính từ ngắn. Trong đó:
- Tính từ ngắn là những tính từ có 1 âm tiết. Ví dụ: tall, high, big,...
- Tính từ dài là những tính từ có từ 2 âm tiết trở lên. Ví dụ: expensive, intelligent,...
2. Cấu trúc câu so sánh hơn
|
Đối với tính từ ngắn
|
Đối với tính từ dài
|
|
S1 + to be + adj-er + than + S2
|
S1 + to be + more + adj + than + S2
|
|
Với tính từ ngắn, thêm đuôi “er” vào sau tính từ
|
Với tính từ dài, thêm “more” trước tính từ
|
|
Ví dụ:
China is bigger than India. (Trung Quốc to lớn hơn Ấn Độ. Lan is shorter than Nam. (Lan thì thấp hơn Nam). My house is bigger than your house. (Nhà của tôi to hơn nhà của bạn). His pen is newer than my pen. (Bút của anh ấy mới hơn bút của tôi). |
Ví dụ:
Gold is more valuable than silver. (Vàng có giá trị hơn bạc). Hanh is more beautiful than Hoa. (Hạnh thì xinh hơn Hoa). Your book is more expensive than his book. (Quyển sách của bạn đắt hơn quyển sách của anh ấy.) Exercise 1 is more difficult than exercise 2. (Bài tập số 1 khó hơn bài tập số 2) |
Để nhấn mạnh ý trong câu so sánh hơn, ta thêm “much” hoặc “far” trước hình thức so sánh.
Ví dụ:
Her boyfriend is much/far older than her.
(Bạn trai của cô ấy lớn tuổi hơn cô ấy rất nhiều.)
3. Cách sử dụng tính từ trong câu so sánh hơn
- Cách thêm đuôi –er vào tính từ ngắn:
|
Tính từ kết thúc bởi 1 phụ âm => thêm đuôi -er
|
old - older, near - nearer
|
|
Tính từ kết thúc bởi nguyên âm “e” => chỉ cần têm đuôi “r”
|
nice – nicer
|
|
Tính từ kết thúc bởi 1 nguyên âm (a,i,e,o,u) + 1 phụ âm => gấp đôi phụ âm cuối và thêm đuôi –er.
|
big – bigger, hot – hotter , fat – fatter , fit – fitter
|
|
Tính từ kết thúc bởi “y”, dù có 2 âm tiết vẫn là tính từ ngắn => bỏ “y” và thê,
|
happy – happier,
pretty - prettier |
Một số tính từ có hai âm tiết kết thúc bằng "et, ow, le,er, y" thì áp dụng Quy tắc thêm đuôi -er như tính từ ngắn.
Ví dụ: quiet => quieter
clever – cleverer
simple – simpler
narrow – narrower
- Một vài tính từ đặc biệt:
Với một số tính từ sau, dạng so sánh hơn của chúng không theo quy tắc trên.
|
Tính từ
|
Dạng so sánh hơn
|
|
good
|
better
|
|
bad
|
worse
|
|
far
|
farther/further
|
|
much/many
|
more
|
|
little
|
less
|
|
old
|
older/elder
|
IV. So sánh hơn với trạng từ - Comparative forms of Adverbs
- Trạng từ ngắn là những từ có 1 âm tiết
Ví dụ: hard, fast, near, far, right, wrong,...
- Trạng từ dài là những từ có 2 âm tiết trở lên.
Ví dụ: slowly, responsibly, quickly, interestingly, tiredly,....
1. Cấu trúc câu so sánh hơn với trạng từ
|
Đối với trạng từ ngắn
|
Đối với trạng từ dài
|
|
S1 + V + adv-er + than + S2
|
S1+ V + more/less + adv + than S2
|
|
Với trạng từ ngắn, thường là trạng từ chỉ cách thức có hình thức giống tính từ, ta thêm đuôi "er”vào sau trạng từ.
|
- Với trạng từ dài, hầu hết là các trạng từ chỉ cách thức có đuôi “-ly” ta thêm “more” (nhiều hơn) hoặc “less”(ít hơn) vào trước trạng từ.
- less” là từ phản nghĩa của “more" được dùng để diễn đạt sự không bằng nhau ở mức độ ít hơn. |
|
Ví dụ:
She runs faster than he does.
They work harder than I do. (Họ làm việc chăm chỉ hơn tôi) (Cô ấy chạy nhanh hơn anh ấy)
My mother gets up earlier than me. (Mẹ tôi thức dậy sớm hơn tôi.) I go to school later than my friends do. (Tôi đi học muộn hơn các bạn.) |
Ví dụ:
My friend did the test more carefully than I did, (Bạn tôi làm bài kiểm tra cẩn thận hơn tôi) My father talks mọc slowly tham my mother does. (Bố tôi nói chậm hơn mẹ tôi.) Hanh acts less responsibly than anyone here. : (An hoạt động ít trách nhiệm hơn bất cứ ai ở đây.) |

The thing I liked most when I was small was the change of seasons. Spring, summer, autumn and winter — I could see them all come and go and each one was completely different.

Whereas, in the country, I could only eat things at certain times of the year, for example, strawberries in June and turnips in winter. I lived my childhood with the seasons.
We also made most of our food and would never eat frozen or tinned food. Everything was fresh, so it must be better than the type of food I am taking now in the city. City people may think people in the country miss a lot of things about modern life. In fact, in my opinion, they miss a lot more than people in the country, they miss real life.
