Names common free-time and tourist activities and says where people do them.
Uses the present simple with adverbs of frequency to describe regular activities.
Talks about transport with on foot, by bus, by underground, by bike and by boat.
Explains rules and advice for visitors with must, must not, should and it is worth.
Describes what visitors do in a capital and compares the seasons of a city.
Spots and corrects mistakes with the third person singular, after prepositions and after verbs like enjoy and watch.

Free-time activities in a capital are repeated actions, so they take the present simple and a time expression such as on Sundays or in summer.
Adverbs of frequency stand after the verb be and before any other main verb, and their order is always, usually, often, sometimes, rarely, never.
On foot means walking and it has no article; every vehicle after by also has no article, but after ride the vehicle takes an article.
The verb enjoy, the verb mind and the phrase it is worth are always followed by a gerund, and this is one of the most tested points in this unit.
Must and must not express rules, should and should not express advice, and all of them are followed by the base form of the verb without any ending.
In a protected old town there are usually two kinds of rule: no photos inside religious buildings and quiet behaviour in public places.
Seasonal comparison uses comparatives, such as more crowded in summer, and the best month uses a superlative.
A city tour has a length and a price, and both are asked for with how long and how much in the same way as a journey.

Present simple for regular activities: People usually walk in the old town.
Adverb order: Subject + be + adverb + other verb: The market is always crowded on Saturdays.
Transport: on foot / by bus / by train / by underground / by taxi / by bike / by boat
ride + article + vehicle: She rides a bicycle to school.
go + gerund for an activity: go sightseeing, go shopping, go swimming
must / must not + base verb: Visitors must keep their voices low.
should / should not + base verb: You should visit the old market in the morning.
It is worth + gerund: It is worth taking the boat trip.

Forgetting the third person ending: Write she goes sightseeing every summer, because a singular subject needs the ending on the verb in the present simple.
Putting an article after by: Say by bus and by underground with no article, and use the verb ride with an article when you mean one particular vehicle.
Using a base form with a modal: Modals are always followed by the plain verb, so write you must not take and you should visit without any ending.
Using an infinitive after enjoy: This verb needs a gerund, so write she enjoys visiting museums and never she enjoys to visit museums.
Forgetting the -ing form after go: The activities take a gerund, so write go sightseeing, go shopping and go swimming, not go to sightseeing.
Confusing a rule with advice: Use must and must not when something is not allowed, and use should and should not when you are only giving a recommendation.

When you meet a sentence with a singular subject and a verb without an ending, check the third person rule first; it is the most frequent mistake.
Learn transport phrases as a list, because a small article error in on foot or by bus changes the meaning of the sentence.
Answer a question about an activity with the present simple, and add a frequency adverb to make your answer sound natural.
Use must for a rule and should for advice; if the text says it is not allowed, then it is a rule, not a suggestion.
In a text about a city, look for the season words first, because they tell you which crowd and which price to expect.
To recommend an activity, say it is worth plus a gerund, and then add one short reason with because.
