Wherever You Go UNIT 1
The Past Simple

We use the Past Simple to talk about finished actions in the past. The form of the past simple is
the same for all persons.

In English, verbs can be regular or irregular. To make the past simple of regular verbs, we add -
ed. Different is the case of irregular verbs, because some of them change completely, while
others are spelt like their infinitive form.

To make negative sentences we need an auxiliary. The same happens when we need to make
questions. The auxiliary is the same for all persons: did/didn´t. So, we use the infinitive after did
(in questions) and didn't (in negative sentences).

Look at the following chart:

Regular Irregular
We went to Brazil on
+ I stayed with friends.
holiday
- I didn't stay in a hotel. We didn't go to Sao Paolo
Did you stay for the weekend? Did you go to Rio?
? Yes, I did Yes, I did
No, I didn’t No, I didn’t
Wh ? Where did you stay? Why did you go there?

The auxiliary is very important because it helps you identify the tense.

Now, check the spelling rules for regular verbs in the chart.

Infinitive Past Spelling

Work Worked
add -ed
Stay Stayed
Like Liked add -d if the verb finishes in e

Study Studied y: ied after a consonant

if the verb finishes in consonant-vowel-consonant,
Stop Stopped
double the final consonant

 Used to

We use this expression to talk about habits or repeated actions in the past which we don't do in
the present. We also use it to talk about states in the past which are no longer true.

Used to + Infinitive

● I used to have long hair (but now I have short hair).

● He used to smoke (but now he doesn't smoke).
● They used to live in India (but now they live in Germany).

To make negative sentences we need the auxiliary in the past and the verb in infinitive.

● She didn't use to like chocolate, I don´t know if she likes it now.
● I didn't use to watch tv when I was a child.

For questions, the rule is the same.

● Did you use to be a teacher?

● Did he use to study French?

1. Make sentences using used to. Complete them with a suitable verb.

a) I ……………………………….…………………………….. tennis when I was at school.

 Adverbs
An adverb is a word that modifies (describes) a verb, an adjective, another adverb, or even a whole
sentence. Adverbs can be regular or irregular.

● Phillip sings loudly in the shower = It describes the way Phillip sings.
● The wozman is quite pretty = It describes how pretty she is.

Regular Adverbs Spelling Rules

Adding -ly to the end of the adjective

Many adjectives can be transformed into adverbs. In most cases, we do this by simply adding -ly to
the end of the adjective.

● Suddenly, slowly, kindly, nervously.

But, when an adjective ends in l, we have to double the l.

● Really, generally, beautifully, severally.

Adjectives ending in -y

When the adjective you want to make into an adverb ends in -y, you must change the y to an i, and
then add -ly.

● Happily, angrily, lazily, messily.

Adjectives that end in -le

When the adjective ends in -le, remove the e and replace it with a y.

● Terribly, incredibly, adorably, predictably.

However, there are some irregular adverbs.

● Fast, hard, well, early, late.

Unit 2 25
 Finally, when you want to form a comparative or a superlative adverb, you should add more
before the adverb to make it comparative, and most to make it superlative.

● Paul spoke more politely than Erica.

● I saw the most amazingly beautiful film yesterday!

POSITION OF ADVERBS

Connecting adverbs: These adverbs join a clause to what came before.

● Then, next, besides, anyway, suddenly, however…
FRONT POSITION
Comment adverbs: These adverbs give the speaker's opinion of an action.
● Fortunately, surprisingly, stupidly…

Indefinite frequency:
● Always, ever, usually, normally, often, frequently, sometimes,
occasionally, rarely, seldom, never.
MID-POSITION
Certainty:
● Maybe, perhaps, probably, certainly, definitely, clearly, obviously.

Adverbs of manner: They say how something happens or is done.

● Angrily, happily, fast, slowly, well, badly, nicely, noisily, quietly, hard,
softly.

Adverbs of place:
END POSITION ● Upstairs, around, here, to bed, in London, out of the window.

Adverbs of time and definite frequency:

● Today, afterwards, in June, last year, finally, before, eventually, already,

soon, still, last, daily, weekly, every year.

Verb Patterns

When two verbs are used together in a sentence the second verb takes either the gerund or infinitive
form.

The verb patterns are dependent upon the first verb. There are several different types of pattern. When
you learn a new verb, you need to learn the verb pattern. Unfortunately, some verbs have more than one
possible pattern!

1. As the subject or object of a sentence.

• Eating outside in the summer makes me feel good.

2. After some verbs.

• I love reading in bed.

3. After prepositions.

• I'm thinking of buying a new car.

Modals

A Modal Verb in an auxiliary verb used to indicate modality, that is: likelihood, ability, permission,
request, capacity, suggestions, order and obligation. They have the same form for all persons.

Modal Verb + Infinitive (without to)

Have to / Don't Have to

Use have to + verb (infinitive) to talk about rules and obligations.

● I have to get up at even every day.

● She has to speak English at work.

Use don’t have to + verb (infinitive) to say that there is no obligation, or that something is not necessary.

● We don’t have to wear a uniform at this school.

● He doesn't have to work on Saturdays.

Use do / does to make questions and negatives.

● Do I have to go? NOT Have I to go?

Don't contract have or has.

● I have to go NOT I’ve to go.

Must / Mustn´t

Use must + verb (infinitive without to) to talk about rules and obligations.

● You must do your homework tonight.

Use mustn’t + verb (infinitive without to) to say something is prohibited.

● You mustn't leave your bags here. (mustn't= must not).

Must / mustn’t is the same for all persons.

● She must tidy her room before she goes out.

● He mustn't forget to call her tonight.

For questions.

● Must I buy a grammar book?

● When must we register for the exam?
Unit 4 37
 Must or Have to?

Must and Have to are very similar, but there is a small difference.

We normally use have to for a general obligation (a rule at work / school or a law).
We normally use must for a personal obligation (one that the speaker imposes), e.g. a
teacher to students or a parent to a child.

BUT!
Mustn't and don't have to have completely different meanings. Compare:

● You mustn't go. = It's prohibited. Don't go.

● You don't have to go. = You can go if you want to, but it's not obligatory or necessary.

Impersonal You
We often use have to and must with impersonal you.

● You have to wear a seatbelt in a car.

● You mustn't take photos in the museum = (not you but people in general).

Should / Shouldn´t
Use should / shouldn’t + verb (infinitive without to) to give somebody advice or say what you think is
the right thing to do.

● You should wear a suit to the interview.

● I think you should change your job.

We often use I think you should ... or I don't think you should... NOT I think you shouldn’t

● I don't think you should speak to her.

Ought to

You can also use ought to / I ought not to instead of should / shouldn't.

● You ought to wear a suit.

● He ought not to work so hard.

The Present Perfect

We often use the Present Perfect to talk about the recent past, not saying exactly when things happened.

Have / Has + Past Participle

For regular verbs the past participle is the same as the past simple (-ed).
For irregular verbs the past participle is sometimes the same as the past simple (buy: bought, bought) and
sometimes different (do: did, done).

● I’ve finished my homework.

● She’s cleaned the kitchen.
● He hasn’t done the washing up.

A - Has she turned off her phone?

B - No, she hasn’t.

We also use it to give news.

● Mary’s had her baby!

● A parcel has arrived for you.

Full Form Contraction Negative Past Participle

I have I've I haven't
You have You've You haven't
He / She / It has He / She / It's He / She / It hasn't finished the exercise.
We have We've We haven't
They have They've They haven't

Have you finished the exercise? Yes, I have. / No, I haven’t .

Has he done the homework? Yes, he has./ No, he hasn’t .

46 Unit 5
Ever / Never
Ever is often used with perfect tenses to mean ‘at any time up to now’.

● Have you ever been to Greece?

Never is often used with perfect tenses to mean ‘at no time up to now’.

● She's never said 'sorry' in her life.

Yet / Just / Already

We often use yet, just and already with the Present Perfect.

Use yet in (?) and (-) sentences to ask if something has happened, or to say if it hasn't happened.
Put yet at the end of the sentence.

● A - Have you done your homework yet?

B - No, not yet. I haven't finished yet.

Use just in (+) sentences to say that something happened very recently.
Put just before the main verb.

● My sister's just started a new job.

Use already in (+) sentences to say that something happened before now or earlier than expected.

Put already before the main verb.

● A - Do you want to see this film?

B - No, I've already seen it three times.

We can also use it in (?).

Put already at the end of the sentence.

● Have you finished that typing already?

Yes, I finished it about five minutes ago.

 The Present Perfect Continuous

We use the Present Perfect Continuous to express an activity which began in the past and
continues to the present.

Have / Has + Been + -Ing Verb

● He’s been teaching music for years.

● It’s been raining for days.

We use it to refer to an activity with a result in the present.

● I'm hot because I’ve been running.

● I haven't got any money because I’ve been running.

Use How long .. ? to ask questions about the duration of an action or a state.

● How long have you been studying English?

Full Form Contraction Negative Past Participle + -ing

I have I've I haven't
You have You've You haven't
He / She / It has He / She / It's He / She / It hasn't been working.
We have We've We haven't
They have They've They haven't

Have you finished the exercise? Yes, I have. / No, I haven’t .

Has he done the homework? Yes, he has./ No, he hasn’t .

Present Perfect or Present Perfect Continuous?

Sometimes there is little or no difference in meaning between the Present Perfect Simple and Continuous.

● How long have you worked here?

● How long have you been working here?

However, some verbs have the idea of a long time (wait, work, learn, travel, play). These verbs can often be
found in the Present Perfect Continuous.

54 Unit 5
 ● I’ve been waiting for hours.

When the verb in the sentence doesn´t have the idea of a long time (find, start, buy, die, lose, break, stop),
it is unusual to find it in the Present Perfect Continuous.

● I've bought a new dress.

● My cat has died.

Verbs that express a state (like, love, know, hate), are not possible in the Present Perfect Continuous.

● We've known each other for a few weeks. NOT! We’ve been knowing each other for years

If the sentence gives a number or a quantity, the Present Perfect Simple is used. The Continuous is
not possible.

● I’ve been writing emails all morning. I've written twenty. NOT! I’ve been writing twenty.

For or Since?

Use for + a period of time: for two weeks, for ten years, for a long time, etc.

● I've had this car for three months.

Use since with the beginning of a period of time: since 1980, since last June, etc.

● I've been afraid of spiders since I was a child.

Use the Present Perfect + For or Since to talk about actions and states which started in the past and are
still true now.

● I've lived in Manchester for twenty years = I came to live in Manchester twenty years ago and I live
in Manchester now.

IMPORTANT!
Don't use the Present Simple in this type of sentence. NOT! I live in Manchester for twenty years.

The Future

Will
We use will to talk about the future we use the auxiliary verb Will. The structure is the same
for all persons.
We make the negative using will not (or its contraction: won´t)

Will + Infinitive

Predictions:
• It will be a nice day tomorrow.
• I think Argentina will win the World Cup.
• I’m sure you will enjoy the film.

Willingness / Unwillingness:
• I hope you will come to my party.
• George says he will help us.
• The baby won't eat his soup.
Offers and Promises:
• I'll pay for the tickets by credit card.
• He´ll help you with your bags.
• I'll see you tomorrow.
• We'll send you an email.
• She´ll call you as soon as possible.

Going to

Going to is another option to express the future, although we use it for different things.

To be + Going to + -Ing Verb

Plans and Intentions:

• I’m going to drive to work today.

• They are not going to move to Manchester.
• I´m bored. I think I´m going to leave soon.

Unit 5 63
 Something likely to happen:

• Be careful! You are going to fall.

• Look at those black clouds. I think it’s going to rain.
• Congratulations! You are going to be a good doctor!

Present Continuous for Future

English can even use the present to suggest the future tense. So, when we have a plan or an
arrangement we can also use the Present Continuous.

To be + -Ing Verb

• I am leaving later today.

• I’m not playing football tomorrow.
• They are coming to see us tomorrow.
• We’re having a party at Christmas.

The exception to the rule: the verbs Come and Go

We cannot use going to with these verbs. In this case, we are supposed to use the Present
Coninuous for Future.

• What time are you coming? NOT! What time are you going to come?
• Are you going to the party tomorrow? NOT! Are you going to go to the party
tomorrow?
We often use verbs like would like, plan, want, mean, hope, expect to talk about the future.

• I’d like to go to University some day.

• We plan to go to France for our holidays.
• George wants to buy a new car.

Complete the sentences with going to or will and a suitable verb.

a) Philipp …………………………...………….. 15 next Wednesday.
b) They …………………………………………….. a new computer.
c) I think my mother ………………………………………... this CD.
d) Paul's sister ……………………………………………….. a baby.
e) They…………………………………. at about 4 in the afternoon.
f) Look at the clouds! It ……………………………………….... soon.
g) Just a moment. I ………………………………. you with the bags.
h) In 2020 people ………………………………….. more hybrid cars.

 The Zero and First Conditionals
Conditionals are sentences with two clauses (an if clause and a main clause) that are closely
related. They describe the result of something that might happen (in the present or future) or
might have happened but didn't (in the past) .

The Zero Conditional

We use the Zero Conditional when we refer to situations that are real and possible. It refers
to general truths.

If + Present Simple + Present Simple

• If you heat ice, it melts.

• If you don´t like pizza, we can eat something else.

The First Conditional

The First Conditional is used to refer to the present or future where the situation is real. It
refers to a possible condition and its probable result.

If + Present Simple + Will

• If you don´t hurry, we won´t arrive on time.

• If I have time, I´ll go shopping on the way home.

Alternative to If Why use it? Example

When When the event will When I die, I’ll leave all my
definitely happen. money to charity.
As soon as To emphasize immediacy. This situation is very urgent. I’ll
call you as soon as I have more
information.
Unless In place of If not. You’ll fail the test unless you
study.

Zero or First?

Zero: If you sit in the sun, you get burned = here I'm talking about every time a person sits in
the sun - the burning is a natural consequence of the sitting.

First: If you sit in the sun, you'll get burned = here I'm talking about what will happen today,
another day might be different.

 “After Twenty Years”
By O. Henry

The cop moved along the street, looking strong and important. This was the way he always
moved. He was not thinking of how he looked. There were few people on the street to see him.
It was only about ten at night, but it was cold. And there was a wind with a little rain in it.
He stopped at doors as he walked along, trying each door to be sure that it was closed for the
night. Now and then he turned and looked up and down the street. He was a fine-looking cop,
watchful, guarding the peace.
People in this part of the city went home early. Now and then you might see the lights of a shop
or of a small restaurant. But most of the doors belonged to business places that had been
closed hours ago.
Then the cop suddenly slowed his walk. Near the door of a darkened shop a man was standing.
As the cop walked toward him, the man spoke quickly.
“It’s all right, officer,” he said. “I’m waiting for a friend. Twenty years ago we agreed to meet
here tonight. It sounds strange to you, doesn’t it? I’ll explain if you want to be sure that
everything’s all right. About twenty years ago there was a restaurant where this shop stands.
‘Big Joe’ Brady’s restaurant.”
“It was here until five years ago,” said the cop. The man near the door had a colorless square
face with bright eyes, and a little white mark near his right eye. He had a large jewel in his
necktie.
“Twenty years ago tonight,” said the man, “I had dinner here with Jimmy Wells. He was my best
friend and the best fellow in the world. He and I grew up together here in New York, like two
brothers. I was eighteen and Jimmy was twenty. The next morning I was to start for the West. I
was going to find a job and make a great success. You couldn’t have pulled Jimmy out of New
York. He thought it was the only place on earth.
“We agreed that night that we would meet here again in twenty years. We thought that in
twenty years we would know what kind of men we were, and what future waited for us.”
“It sounds interesting,” said the cop. “A long time between meetings, it seems to me. Have you
heard from your friend since you went West?”
“Yes, for a time we did write to each other,” said the man. “But after a year or two, we stopped.
The West is big. I moved around everywhere, and I moved quickly. But I know that Jimmy will
meet me here if he can. He was as true as any man in the world. He’ll never forget. I came a
thousand miles to stand here tonight. But I’ll be glad about that, if my old friend comes too.”

78 Unit 6 Short Story: After Twenty Years

The waiting man took out a fine watch, covered with small jewels. “Three minutes before ten,”
he said. “It was ten that night when we said goodbye here at the restaurant door.”
“You were successful in the West, weren’t you?” asked the cop. “I surely was! I hope Jimmy has
done half as well. He was a slow mover. I’ve had to fight for my success. In New York a man
doesn’t change much. In the West you learn how to fight for what you get.”
The cop took a step or two. “I’ll go on my way,” he said. “I hope your friend comes all right. If he
isn’t here at ten, are you going to leave?”
“I am not!” said the other. “I’ll wait half an hour, at least. If Jimmy is alive on earth, he’ll be here
by that time. Good night, officer.”
“Good night,” said the cop, and walked away, trying doors as he went.
There was now a cold rain falling and the wind was stronger. The few people walking along that
street were hurrying, trying to keep warm. And at the door of the shop stood the man who had
come a thousand miles to meet a friend. Such a meeting could not be certain. But he waited.
About twenty minutes he waited, and then a tall man in a long coat came hurrying across the
street. He went directly to the waiting man.
“Is that you, Bob?” he asked, doubtfully. “Is that you, Jimmy Wells?” cried the man at the door.
The new man took the other man’s hands in his. “It’s Bob! It surely is. I was certain I would find
you here if you were still alive. Twenty years is a long time. The old restaurant is gone, Bob. I
wish it were here, so that we could have another dinner in it. Has the West been good to you?”
“It gave me everything I asked for. You’ve changed, Jimmy. I never thought you were so tall.”
“Oh, I grew a little after I was twenty.” “Are you doing well in New York, Jimmy?” “Well enough.
I work for the city. Come on, Bob, We’ll go to a place I know, and have a good long talk about
old times.”
The two men started along the street, arm in arm. The man from the West was beginning to tell
the story of his life. The other, with his coat up to his ears, listened with interest.
At the corner stood a shop bright with electric lights. When they came near, each turned to
look at the other’s face.
The man from the West stopped suddenly and pulled his arm away. “You’re not Jimmy Wells,”
he said. “Twenty years is a long time, but not long enough to change the shape of a man’s
nose.”
“It sometimes changes a good man into a bad one,” said the tall man. “You’ve been under
arrest for ten minutes, Bob. Chicago cops thought you might be coming to New York. They told
us to watch for you. Are you coming with me quietly? That’s wise. But first here is something I
was asked to give you. You may read it here at the window. It’s from a cop named Wells.”

Short Story: After Twenty Years Unit 6 79

 The man from the West opened the little piece of paper. His hand began to shake a little as he
read.

“Bob: I was at the place on time. I saw the face of the man wanted by Chicago cops. I didn’t
want to arrest you myself. So I went and got another cop and sent him to do the job.
JIMMY.”

If You Were in Danger… UNIT 7
The Second Conditional

The Second Conditional is used to refer to a time that is now or any time, and a situation that
is unreal.

If + Past Simple + Would

We can use could instead of would.

The Second Conditional has two uses. First, we can use it to talk about things in the future that
are probably not going to be true.

● If you could live anywhere in the world, where would you live?
● If I won the lottery, I would buy a big house.(I probably won't win the lottery)
● If I had a little more money, I could buy a car.

Second, we can use it to talk about something in the present which is impossible, because it's
not true.

● If I had his number, I would call him = (I don't have his number now, so it's impossible
for me to call him).
● If I were you, I wouldn't go out with that man.
In both cases, the sentences above are not based on facts. They all refer to a hypothetical
condition and its probable result.

First or Second conditional?

● In August: If it snows tomorrow, I’ll go skiing = (It might snow tomorrow).
● In March: If it snowed tomorrow, I’d go skiing = (It almost certainly won’t snow
tomorrow).

If I were...
Note that with the verb To Be we use If + I / he / she / it + Were
The reason we use were instead of was is because the sentence is in the Subjunctive mood.
● If I were not in debt, I would quit my job.
● If he were taller, he'd be accepted into the team.

Introduction to Phrasal Verbs
Introduction to Phrasal Verbs
What is a phrasal verb?

A phrasal verb is a verb, but they consist of a basic verb + another word or words. The two or
three words that make up a phrasal verb, form a short phrase (that is why we call them "phrasal
verbs"). However, a phrasal verb is still a verb. Look is a verb. Look up is also a verb
(a different verb). They do not have the same meaning, and they behave differently grammatically.

The key to learn phrasal verbs is to treat them as separate verbs. Phrasal verbs are very important
because they are so prevalent in everyday spoken and informal written language.

Literal and Idiomatic Phrasal Verbs

Many verbs in English can be combined with an adverb or a preposition, a phrasal verb used in a
literal sense is easy to understand.

• He walked across the square.

• She opened the shutters and looked outside.
• When he heard the crash, he looked up.
It is, however, the figurative or idiomatic application in everyday speech which makes phrasal
verbs so important:

• I hope you will get over your operation quickly.

The literal meaning of to get over, in the sense of to climb over something to get to the other side,
is not relevant here. Here, it means recover from or feel better.

Separable and Inseparable Phrasal Verbs

There are two types of phrasal verbs: separable and inseparable. A Phrasal Verb is separable
when you can insert other words into the middle:

• I need to take back the shirt I lent you.

• Where’s the shirt I lent you? I need to take it back.

On the other hand, inseparable phrasal verbs can’t be separated:

• She broke into tears. (NOT She broke tears into)

• He dipped into his pocket. (NOT He dipped his pocket into).

The Passive Voice

We can say things in two ways, using the active voice or the passive voice. Both are ok, but when using
one instead of the other, we focus on different things.

To be + Past Participle

• Josephine Cochrane invented the dishwasher = Active.

• The dishwasher was invented by Josephine Cochrane = Passive.

In the active sentence, the focus is more on who did the action: Josephine Cochrane.
In the passive sentence, the focus is more on the dishwasher.

So, we use the Passive Voice when we don´t known or it is not important who does the action.

• My car was stolen last week = (we don´t know who stole it).
• Volvo cars are made in Sweden = (we don´t know who make them, and it is not important either).

If we want to say who did the action, we can do it adding by.

• The Lord of the Rings was written by Tolkien.

How we make the Passive Voice

Present Tense: Am / Is / Are + Past Participle

(+) Kevlar is used to make bullet-proof vests.

(-) Tippex isn't used very much today.
(?) Are disposable nappies used all over the world?

Past Tense: Was / Were + Past Participle

(+) The dishwasher was invented by Josephine Cochrane.

(-) Windscreen wipers weren’t invented until 1903.
(?) When was the washing machine invented?

Future Tense: Will + Be + Past Participle

(+) 10000 cars will be produced next year.

(-) The cars won't be sold in the UK.
(?) Where will these cars be sold?

 “The Pedestrian”
By Ray Bradbury

To enter out into that silence that was the city at eight o'clock of a misty evening in
November, to put your feet upon that buckling concrete walk, to step over grassy seams
and make your way, hands in pockets, through the silences, that was what Mr. Leonard
Mead most dearly loved to do. He would stand upon the corner of an intersection and peer
down long moonlit avenues of sidewalk in four directions, deciding which way to go, but it
really made no difference; he was alone in this world of A.D. 2053, or as good as alone, and
with a final decision made, a path selected, he would stride off, sending patterns of frosty
air before him like the smoke of a cigar.
Sometimes he would walk for hours and miles and return only at midnight to his house. And
on his way he would see the cottages and homes with their dark windows, and it was not
unequal to walking through a graveyard where only the faintest glimmers of firefly light
appeared in flickers behind the windows. Sudden gray phantoms seemed to manifest upon
inner room walls where a curtain was still undrawn against the night, or there were
whisperings and murmurs where a window in a tomb- like building was still open.
Mr. Leonard Mead would pause, cock his head, listen, look, and march on, his feet making
no noise on the lumpy walk. For long ago he had wisely changed to sneakers when strolling
at night, because the dogs in intermittent squads would parallel his journey with barkings if
he wore hard heels, and lights might click on and faces appear and an entire street be
startled by the passing of a lone figure, himself, in the early November evening.
On this particular evening he began his journey in a westerly direction, toward the hidden
sea. There was a good crystal frost in the air; it cut the nose and made the lungs blaze like
a Christmas tree inside; you could feel the cold light going on and off, all the branches filled
with invisible snow. He listened to the faint push of his soft shoes through autumn leaves
with satisfaction, and whistled a cold quiet whistle between his teeth, occasionally picking
up a leaf as he passed, examining its skeletal pattern in the infrequent lamplights as he went
on, smelling its rusty smell.
"Hello, in there," he whispered to every house on every side as he moved. "What's up
tonight on Channel 4, Channel 7, Channel 9? Where are the cowboys rushing, and do I see
the United States Cavalry over the next hill to the rescue?"
The street was silent and long and empty, with only his shadow moving like the shadow of
a hawk in midcountry. If he closed his eyes and stood very still, frozen, he could imagine
himself upon the center of a plain, a wintry, windless Arizona desert with no house in a
thousand miles, and only dry river beds, the streets, for company.
"What is it now?" he asked the houses, noticing his wrist watch. "Eight-thirty P.M.? Time
for a dozen assorted murders? A quiz? A revue? A comedian falling off the stage?"
Was that a murmur of laughter from within a moon-white house? He hesitated, but went
on when nothing more happened. He stumbled over a particularly uneven section of

Short Story: The Pedestrian Unit 9 107

 sidewalk. The cement was vanishing under flowers and grass. In ten years of walking by
night or day, for thousands of miles, he had never met another person walking, not once in
all that time.
He came to a cloverleaf intersection which stood silent where two main highways crossed
the town. During the day it was a thunderous surge of cars, the gas stations open, a great
insect rustling and a ceaseless jockeying for position as the scarab- beetles, a faint incense
puttering from their exhausts, skimmed homeward to the far directions. But now these
highways, too, were like streams in a dry season, all stone and bed and moon radiance.
He turned back on a side street, circling around toward his home. He was within a block of
his destination when the lone car turned a corner quite suddenly and flashed a fierce white
cone of light upon him. He stood entranced, not unlike a night moth, stunned by the
illumination, and then drawn toward it.
A metallic voice called to him: "Stand still. Stay where you are! Don't move!"
He halted.
"Put up your hands!"
"But-" he said. "Your hands up! Or we'll Shoot!"
The police, of course, but what a rare, incredible thing; in a city of three million, there was
only one police car left, wasn't that correct? Ever since a year ago, 2052, the election year,
the force had been cut down from three cars to one. Crime was ebbing; there was no need
now for the police, save for this one lone car wandering and wandering the empty streets.
"Your name?" said the police car in a metallic whisper. He couldn't see the men in it for the
bright light in his eyes.
"Leonard Mead," he said.
"Speak up!"
"Leonard Mead!"
"Business or profession?"
"I guess you'd call me a writer."
"No profession," said the police car, as if talking to itself. The light held him fixed, like a
museum specimen, needle thrust through chest.
"You might say that, " said Mr. Mead. He hadn't written in years. Magazines and books
didn't sell any more. Everything went on in the tomblike houses at night now, he thought,
continuing his fancy. The tombs, ill-lit by television light, where the people sat like the dead,
the gray or multicolored lights touching their faces, but never really touching them.
"No profession," said the phonograph voice, hissing. "What are you doing out?"
"Walking," said Leonard Mead.
"Walking!" "Just walking," he said simply, but his face felt cold.
"Walking, just walking, walking?"

108 Unit 9
Short Story: The Pedestrian
"Yes, sir." "Walking where? For what?"
"Walking for air. Walking to see."
"Your address!"
"Eleven South Saint James Street."
"And there is air in your house, you have an air conditioner, Mr. Mead?"
"Yes."
"And you have a viewing screen in your house to see with?"
"No."
"No?" There was a crackling quiet that in itself was an accusation.
"Are you married, Mr. Mead?"
"No."
"Not married," said the police voice behind the fiery beam, The moon was high and clear
among the stars and the houses were gray and silent.
"Nobody wanted me," said Leonard Mead with a smile.
"Don't speak unless you're spoken to!"
Leonard Mead waited in the cold night. "Just walking, Mr. Mead?"
"Yes."
"But you haven't explained for what purpose."
"I explained; for air, and to see, and just to walk."
"Have you done this often?"
"Every night for years."
The police car sat in the center of the street with its radio throat faintly humming.
"Well, Mr. Mead," it said.
"Is that all?" he asked politely.
"Yes," said the voice. "Here." There was a sigh, a pop. The back door of the police car sprang
wide. "Get in."
"Wait a minute, I haven't done anything!"
"Get in."
"I protest!"
"Mr. Mead."

He walked like a man suddenly drunk. As he passed the front window of the car he looked
in. As he had expected, there was no one in the front seat, no one in the car at all.
"Get in."

Unit 9 109
Short Story: The Pedestrian
 He put his hand to the door and peered into the back seat, which was a little cell, a little
black jail with bars. It smelled of riveted steel. It smelled of harsh antiseptic; it smelled too
clean and hard and metallic. There was nothing soft there.
"Now if you had a wife to give you an alibi," said the iron voice.
"But-"
"Where are you taking me?"
The car hesitated, or rather gave a faint whirring click, as if information, somewhere, was
dropping card by punch-slotted card under electric eyes.
"To the Psychiatric Center for Research on Regressive Tendencies."
He got in. The door shut with a soft thud. The police car rolled through the night avenues,
flashing its dim lights ahead.
They passed one house on one street a moment later, one house in an entire city of houses
that were dark, but this one particular house had all of its electric lights brightly lit, every
window a loud yellow illumination, square and warm in the cool darkness.
"That's my house," said Leonard Mead.
No one answered him.
The car moved down the empty river-bed streets and off away, leaving the empty streets
with the empty sidewalks, and no sound and no motion all the rest of the chill November
night.
