Key Grammar Structures

• if you don't spend a lot of time studying you won't learn English

• it's normal to get sad or frustrated when you learn another language

  ➔ Infinitive as subject complement (It is + adjective + to-infinitive)

  ➔ "It" acts as a dummy subject, and "to get" is the real subject explaining the situation.

• everybody makes mistakes when they speak other languages

  ➔ "Everybody" is treated as a singular noun, so the verb "makes" takes an -s ending.

  ➔ "To improve" explains the reason "why" you need to make mistakes.
