WAIT

Most people don't like waiting for things, but if you think about it, we wait all the time. We wait for trains, busses, meetings, and wait for people to do things for us. We wait hours for flights to arrive and concerts to begin... There are four basic English grammar patterns when using wait. Today, let's have a look and practise these.

Put the words in the correct order, to make sentences.

• We use wait for+[someone/something]

(e.g. John said he is still waiting for the package from his father.)

 

1. the I for wait alwaysin morning. the train

..............................................................................

• We also use wait for + [someone/something] + [to verb]

            (e.g. Can you wait for me to go out? I'll be ready soon.)

 

2. I arrive. the to for waiting am train

            ........................................................................

• We use wait + [time]

       (e.g. John waited all day, but the package didn't arrive.)

 

3. the minutes waited train. Itenfor

...................................................................................

• We use wait + [to verb]

(e.g. I've waited to buy a new car because I am saving the money to buy it.)

 

4. The tea is hot - drink you wait have to toit.

    ..................................................................................

 

Key: 1. I always wait for the train in the morning. 2. I am waiting for the train to arrive.

3. I waited ten minutes for the train. 4. The tea is hot - you have to wait to drink it.
