Tips: (if I knew….I wish I knew)
Study this example situation:
Sarah wants to phone Paul, but she can’t do this because she doesn’t know his number. She says:
If I knew his number, I
would phone him.
Sarah says: If I knew his number…. . This tells us that she doesn’t know his number. She is imagining the situation. The real
situation is that she doesn’t know his number.

Tips: how long have you (been)…?
Study this example situation:
Dan and Jenny are married. They got married exactly 20 years ago, so today is their 20th wedding anniversary.
They have been married for 20
years.
We say: They are married. (Present)
But How long have they been married? (Present perfect)
(Not how long are they married?)
They have been married for 20 years.
(Not they are married for 20 years.)
We use the present perfect to talk about something that began in the past and still continues now. Compare the present and the present perfect:
□ Paul is in hospital.
10
But He’s been in Hospital since Monday. (He has been…)
(Not Paul is in hospital since Monday)
□ Do you know each other well?
But Have you known each other for a long time?
(not Do you know)
□ She’s waiting for somebody.
But She’s been waiting all morning.
□ Do they have a car?
But How long have they had their car?
Past Now
Present He is
Do you know She is waiting
Present perfect He has been
Have you known She has been waiting

Tips: Be/get used to something (I’m used to…..)
Study this example situation:
Lisa is American, but she lives in Britain. When she first drove a car in Britain, she found it very difficult because she had to drive on the left, not on the right. Driving on the left was strange and
difficult for her because:
She wasn’t used to it. She wasn’t used to driving on the left.
But after a lot of practice, driving on the left became less strange. So:
She got used to driving on the left.
Now it’s no problem for Lisa:
She is used to driving on the left.
14
I’m used to something = it is not new or strange for me:
- Paul lives alone. He doesn’t mind this because he has lived alone for 15 years. It is not strange for him. He is used to it. He is used to living alone.
- I bought some new shoes. They felt a bit strange at first because I wasn’t used to them.
- Our new apartment is on very busy street. I expect we’ll get used to the noise, but at the moment it’s very disturbing.
- Helen has a new job. She has to get up much earlier now than before – at 6.30. She finds this difficult because she isn’t used to getting up so early.
- Katherine’s husband is often away from home. She doesn’t mind this. She is used to him being away.
After be/get used you cannot use the infinitive (to do/ to drive etc.) We say:
- She is used to driving on the left. (not she is used to drive)
When we say “ I am used to something”, to is preposition, not a part of the infinitive. So we say:
- We’re not used to the noise./We’re not used to it.
- Paul is used to living alone. (not Paul is used to live)
- Lisa had to get used to driving on the left. (not get used to drive)
