TEST 2 - Word Formation

This document contains a review of test 1 on AE. It includes: 1) A list of vocabulary words with their definitions to be learned for the test. Words cover topics like conflict, war, accusations, and adverb collocations. 2) Examples of grammar structures being tested, including wishes, hypotheses, and uses of auxiliary verbs. Structures like past tense modals for wishes, present/past tense forms for hypotheses, and passive voice are discussed. 3) A note on units 6 and 7 of the curriculum, which seem to focus more on vocabulary relating to conflict, aggression, and international relations.

We use present tense forms after phrases like what if, in
case and suppose to talk about thefuture if we think it is likely to happen:

We use a past tense form to talk about the future after suppose and what
if to suggest something is not likely to happen:

We use modals would, could for a hypothesis about the future:
