English Lessons with the IT Crowd A course for intermediate students by David Nicholls
A new approach to learning English, this is a series of lessons based on the episodes of the
hit UK sitcom ‘The IT Crowd’. Lessons include grammar explanations, exercises, vocabulary
tasks and discussion questions. They are ideal for self-study and classroom use.
How to use this ebook
This book was written in order to be used in English lessons with my online students. It
proved to be a popular and effective resource, and so I have decided to make it available in an
e-book format. It could be useful for two different types of readers. Firstly, teachers of
English may find it a fun and effective resource for their students. The majority of homework
exercises that English teachers give to their students are based on reading and writing skills.
This course is an attempt to provide at least a 50% bias towards listening practice. The
second type of reader is the independent student who enjoys ‘learning by doing’, and
understands that fluency is obtainable once one’s reactions are fast enough to respond to
everyday speech. Such speech is found in TV shows, and it would be a crime not to use it. I
have included grammar and vocabulary exercises in all of the lessons, as well as some
comprehension and discussion questions. As a teacher I give the lesson to the students as
homework, and he or she watches the show in their free time and retells me a summary of the
plot during the next class. I encourage them to use the target vocabulary and grammar forms
during this retell, and we then discuss the questions. Other teachers could do the same, or
they may prefer to use the material in some other way. The independent student could watch
the shows, complete the answers, and then perhaps discuss the show with a friend. I think the
retelling part is essential in order to improve speaking skills and learn the new vocabulary by
heart.
The book is divided into different episodes. There is one lesson corresponding to each
episode of the IT Crowd. Students should read the lesson first and check the meaning of any
unfamiliar words. Then they should watch the show and afterwards complete the exercises.
Lastly, they can check their answers, and perhaps prepare themselves for the retell. The
episodes first focus on some difficult tenses, and then move onto some conditionals and
modal forms. The answers for each episode are found after the corresponding exercises.
Many students find the first episode difficult, but this is natural and fortunately the show gets
easier and easier each time. Practice makes perfect. If the student feels disheartened after the
first episode, they should remember that watching the show twice will help.

Grammar – Present Perfect/Past simple
Present perfect is used to ask questions about general events in life (if we don’t know when
they happened, and we don’t know the details yet). Have you seen ‘Titanic’? Have you read
‘War and Peace’? Have you been to France? Or, from the episode:
Have you tried turning it off and on again?
It is also used to show results in the present. I have done my homework – here it is! Look! My
car has disappeared. It has been stolen. Or, from the episode
Roy has passed out!
Lastly, it is used for long periods of time that continue into the present. These are unfinished
periods. We have been married for 5 years and we still love each other very much. For
example
Moss and Roy have worked at Renholm industries for a long time. Jen has been there a few
days.
(‘have been working’ is also possible)
With finished periods we use past simple
They got divorced last year. They were married for 5 years.
Present perfect is NEVER used if we say, ask or know WHEN something happened. When
Moss tells the story of what happened when they went to Amsterdam, he only uses past
simple
When we went to Amsterdam we were so drunk that we decided to hire prostitutes. But when
they arrived at the hotel we were too scared to do anything and so we brought them to the
fair.
Some words are a signal to use present perfect. Yet, already, just, ever, never, for and since
Some words are a signal to use past simple. Ago, last week, 1998, in August, when
Put the following verbs into present perfect or past simple.
1) How many times ____ you ____ to France? (be)
2) When ____ he ____? (arrive)
3) He ____ you about 10 minutes ago. (call)
4) I ____ never ____ that book. (read)
5) Look! The screen is all blue. The computer ____ ____ (break)
6) How long ____ you ____ your boss? (know)
7) I can’t see my dog. Where ____ he ____? (go)
8) I live in the UK now. But I ____ in Russia for 8 years. (live)
Questions for discussion:
Who do you find difficult to deal with at work? Is there anyone who you don’t get on with?
Who checks up on you at work?
In what kind of situations might someone pass out?
What are you looking forward to?

Grammar – past simple, past continuous, past perfect
Past simple = did
Past continuous = was/were doing
Past perfect = had done
We use past simple for consecutive moments which are complete. We use past continuous for
incomplete moments which often happen at the same time as other moments. For example
Roy screamed (COMPLETE) at the girl when she was waiting (INCOMPLETE) to try the
stress machine.
We use past simple for consecutive moments (moments in the story that happen one after the
other). We use past perfect in the narrative when we want to emphasize that something
happened earlier than a past simple moment. For example
When Jen took off her shoe she saw that she had broken (EARLIER than other 2 verbs) her
toe
Put the following verbs in to the correct past tense
When Jen (get) to work that morning she immediately (have to) go to a meeting where her
boss (declare) war on stress. During the meeting Jen couldn’t stop thinking about the shoes
she (see) in the shop window on the way to work. So she (decide) to leave early. The boss
also (invite) an expert on stress to give a lecture. The staff reluctantly (agree) to go only after
they (be told) about the free buffet. When Roy and Moss (arrive) at the stress lecture, the
expert already (start) and everybody (sit) and (listen) to him. He (ask) for a volunteer and a
lady (get up) and (try) the stress machine. Then Roy (offer) to be the next volunteer and he
(scream) at the lady while she (sit) in her chair.

Grammar – Second and Third conditional
If the IT guys were rich, they wouldn’t work at Renholm industries.
This is a second conditional sentence. It is used to talk about hypothetical possibilities in the
present or future (in spite of the fact that it uses past tense). It follows the formula
If + past / would + 1st
Moss reminds Jen that the money Daniel lost on the quiz show wasn’t hers (and so maybe she
shouldn’t be upset). Jen replies
‘It would have been if I’d married him.’
This is a third conditional sentence. It is used to talk about hypothetical possibilities in the
past. It is what would have happened if our lives had been different. Here is the formula
If + had 3rd
/ would have 3rd
(N:B ‘I were’ is correct and preferred in 2nd
and 3rd
conditional. E.g If I were a rich man, I
would buy a castle)
Finish the following sentences about the show with your own ideas (in 2nd
conditional)
1) I (resign) if I (be) in Jen’s shoes.

5) If I (get) in trouble, I (dial) the emergency services.
