1. English Language II Unit 12

2. Unit 12: Talking About Insurance insurance – Risk-transfer mechanism that ensures full or partial financial compensation for the loss or damage caused by event(s) beyond the control of the insured party. Under an insurance contract, a party (the insurer) indemnifies the other party (the insured) against a specified amount of loss, occurring from specified eventualities within a specified period, provided a fee called premium is paid. In general insurance, compensation is normally proportionate to the loss incurred, whereas in life insurance usually a fixed sum is paid. Insurance, however, provides protection only against tangible losses. It cannot ensure continuity of business, market share, or customer confidence, and cannot provide knowledge, skills, or resources to resume the operations after disaster. – osiguranje

6. Future Simple Tense The structure of the simple future tense is: Subject + auxiliary verb WILL + main verb

7. Future Simple Tense How do we use the Simple Future Tense? 1. No Plan We use the simple future tense when there is no plan or decision to do something before we speak. We make the decision spontaneously at the time of speaking. Look at these examples: Hold on. I 'll get a pen. We will see what we can do to help you. Maybe we 'll stay in and watch television tonight. In these examples, we had no firm plan before speaking. The decision is made at the time of speaking. We often use the simple future tense with the verb to think before it: I think I'll go to the gym tomorrow. I think I will have a holiday next year. I don't think I'll buy that car.

8. Future Simple Tense 2. Prediction We often use the simple future tense to make a prediction about the future. Again, there is no firm plan. We are saying what we think will happen. Here are some examples: It will rain tomorrow. Who do you think will get the job?

9. Future Simple Tense 3. Be When the main verb is be, we can use the simple future tense even if we have a firm plan or decision before speaking. Examples: I 'll be in London tomorrow. I'm going shopping. I won't be very long. Will you be at work tomorrow?

10. Personal Pronouns Personal pronouns represent specific people or things. We use them depending on:  number: singular (eg: I ) or plural (eg: we )  person: 1st person (eg: I ), 2nd person (eg: you ) or 3rd person (eg: he )  gender: male (eg: he ), female (eg: she ) or neuter (eg: it )  case: subject (eg: we ) or object (eg: us )

11. Personal Pronouns We use personal pronouns in place of the person or people that we are talking about. My name is Josef but when I am talking about myself I almost always use "I" or "me", not "Josef". When I am talking direct to you, I almost always use "you", not your name. When I am talking about another person, say John, I may start with "John" but then use "he" or "him". And so on.

13. Personal Pronouns When we are talking about a single thing, we almost always use it. However, there are a few exceptions. We may sometimes refer to an animal as he / him or she / her, especially if the animal is domesticated or a pet. Ships (and some other vessels or vehicles) as well as some countries are often treated as female and referred to as she / her. Here are some examples:  This is our dog Rusty. He 's an Alsation.  The Titanic was a great ship but she sank on her first voyage.  My first car was a Mini and I treated her like my wife.  Thailand has now opened her border with Cambodia.

14. Personal Pronouns We often use it to introduce a remark:  It is nice to have a holiday sometimes.  It is important to dress well.  It 's difficult to find a job.  Is it normal to see them together?  It didn't take long to walk here. We also often use it to talk about the weather, temperature, time and distance:  It 's raining.  It will probably be hot tomorrow.  Is it nine o'clock yet?  It 's 50 kilometres from here to Cambridge.

15. Possessive Pronouns We use possessive pronouns to refer to a specific person/people or thing/things (the "antecedent") belonging to a person/people (and sometimes belonging to an animal/animals or thing/things). We use possessive pronouns depending on:  number: singular (eg: mine ) or plural (eg: ours )  person: 1st person (eg: mine ), 2nd person (eg: yours ) or 3rd person (eg: his )  gender: male ( his ), female ( hers )

18. Reflexive Pronouns We use a reflexive pronoun when we want to refer back to the subject of the sentence or clause. Reflexive pronouns end in "-self" (singular) or "-selves" (plural).

19. Reflexive Pronouns reflexive pronoun singular myself yourself himself, herself, itself plural ourselves yourselves themselves

20. Reflexive Pronouns Notice that all the above reflexive pronouns can also act as intensive pronouns, but the function and usage are different. An intensive pronoun emphasizes its antecedent.  I made it myself. OR I myself made it.  Have you yourself seen it? OR Have you seen it yourself ?  The President himself promised to stop the war.  She spoke to me herself. OR She herself spoke to me.  The exam itself wasn't difficult, but exam room was horrible.  Never mind.
