- Know how to use the + adjectives, used to + infinitive correctly through doing some exercises.

1. 
   Theory:
   

1. 
   The + adjective
   

The + adjective = common noun

E.g. poor (adj): nghèo - the poor (n): những người nghèo

rich (adj): giàu - the rich (n): những người giàu

b. Danh từ tập hợp được dùng như danh từ số nhiều nên động từ theo sau nó được chia ở số nhiều.

E.g. The sick are taken care of by the doctors.

The poor need help from the sick.

2. 
   Used to + Infinitive
   

1. 
   Forms.
   

(?)

2.

Did you your mother use to do morning exercises?

E.g. He used to cried for candies. (Cậu ấy thường khóc đòi kẹo.)

She didn't use to be patient. (Cô ấy thường không kiên nhẫn lắm.)

* To be used to + gerund / noun: chỉ một việc ta quen làm ở hiện tại hoặc tương lai.

E.g. Are you used to driving on the left hand side? (Bạn có quen lái xe bên trái không?)

We are used to the noise from the factory.

(Chúng tôi quen với tiếng ồn phát ra từ nhà máy.)
Ngoài động từ TO BE, ta có thể dùng với các động từ như TO GET, TO BECOME... với "used to" để diễn tả việc bắt đầu quen với.

E.g. I have become used to driving on the left.

(Tôi đã quen với việc lái xe bên trái.)

She is getting used to working from morning till night.

(Cô ấy đã trở nên quen với việc làm việc từ sáng đến tối.)We use the + adjective to describe a group of people as a whole

Example: the rich = rich people (a group of people who are rich)

Ở trong phạm vi bài này, WHICH được dùng để thay thế cho một mệnh đề đứng trước nó.

E.g. She can't speak English. It is a disavatage.

She can't speak English, which is a disavatage.

(Cô ấy không nói được tiếng Anh và điều đó là một sự bất tiện.)

"Which" trong câu này thay thế cho " She can't speak English."
