the way

✍The way can often be used instead of non-interrogative how.

☝️Look at the way those cats wash each other. OR Look at how those cats … (the way how those cats wash)

☝️The way you organise the work is for you to decide. OR How you organise … (The way how you organise)

✍In formal and literary styles, if can be dropped and an auxiliary verb put before the subject. This happens mostly with were, had and should.

🔹Were she my daughter, … (= If she were my daughter …)

🔹Had I realised what you intended, … (= If I had realised …)

🔹Should you change your mind, … (= If you should change)

We’d have been unhappy if we’d lost the game.

The third conditional is sometimes confusing because We'd can mean both We had and We would – so listen carefully! And remember that We’d in the if part is We had, and We'd in the main part is We would.

#note

Hardly, scarcely, and barely are interchangeable, and they all have a similar meaning (almost, just, only just). 

Use hardly/scarcely/barely something when happened, and then something else happened very soon after.

hardly/scarcely/barely + auxiliary verb + subject + base verb + when
-Peter had barely reached the station when the train arrived. =
 Barely had Peter reached the station when the train arrived. 

#note
Form regular* past tense verbs with -ed and the following rules:
1. Add -ed to most verbs (jump + -ed = jumped)
2. Only add -d after a final -e  (dance + -d = danced)
3. Double the last consonant after a vowel before -ed (ship + -ed = shipped)
4. Change -y to -i and add -ed with a final -y after a consonant (dry + -ed = dried)

be + … age
Note the structure be + … age (without a preposition).

🔹When I was your age I was working. (NOT When I was at your age …)
🔹The two boys are the same age.
🔹She’s the same age as me.

#note

After deserve, need and require,  the ing form has a passive sense.

🔸I don’t think his article deserves reading. (= … deserves to be read.)

🔹Your hair needs cutting. (= … needs to be cut.)

In informal British English, want can also be used like this.
