The final exam!

Hi everybody!

    We have changed the final exam that we had yesterday to the next Tuesday,for the exam we have to study:

          -Relative pronouns(Unit 5)
          -Vocabulary(Unit 5)
          -Passive voice and reporting verbs(Unit 6)
          -Have/get something done(Unit 6)
          -Vocabulary(Unit 6)
         
!¡Revise all the units because,Gema didn't say us if those grammar exercises will be in the exam too.

                                       HAVE/GET SOMETHING DONE

The causative is used to say that someone has done something for us.

                   Example:I have my house painted.

                    [Subject+Have+object+Past participle]

  Examples:-Me han reparado el coche:
                             I have my car repaired
                -Un decorador  ha pintado de nuevo la casa:
                          We have our house repainted. 
               -Mi chaqueta está siendo limpiada por mi madre:
                                     I'm having my jacket cleaned.

Verbs+gerunds/infinitives

Hi people!
  
      We will explain some verbs which take infinitive and gerunds forms with a difference in meaning.

Those verbs are:Stop,Remember,Forget and Regret.

            -Stop:

+Infinitive:Pause and then do something (Parar un ratillo)
 
                -He stopped to rest for a few minutes (Él paró para descansar unos minutos)

+Gerund:not to continue. (Parar de hacerlo por completo)

                 -We stop eating our sandwishes when the teacher came in.(Nosotros paramos de comer nuestros sandwishes cuando la maestra entró)

             -Forget:

+Infinitive:not remember. (No recordar hacer algo que debías haber hecho)

                   -We forgot to pay the rent this month.(Olvidamos pagar el alquiler este mes)

+Gerund:you didn't do something now you remember it. (No acordarte de algo que has hecho)

                    -She forgot reading the book when she was a kid.(Ella olvidó leer el libro cuando era una niña)

               -Regret:

+Infinitive:feel sorry to give bad news. (sentirse mal de dar una mala noticia)

                      -We regret to inform you that your position at the company is being eliminated.(Siento comunicarle que su posición en la compañía ha sido eliminada).

+Gerund:feel sorry for what you did in the past (sentirse mal de algo que hiciste)

                      -I regretted being late to the interview.(Sentí llegar tarde a la entrevista).

                -Remember:

+Infinitive:remember something and then do it (acordarse de algo y entonces hacerlo)

                       -He remembered to turn off the light before he left(Se acordó de apagar la luz antes de irse)

+Gerund:something happened in the past and now you remember it. (recordar algo que pasó en el pasado)

                        -I clearly remember seing her,she looked great in her suit.(Recuerdo claramente haberla visto,ella se veía bien con su bañador)

Relatives pronouns

Hi friends!

  Last day,Gema taught us the relative pronouns.We use them to add a relative clause to a sentence.For example:
             
            -This is my friend.His brother is in Paris.
                       >This is my friend whose brother is in Paris.(Este es mi amigo cuyo hermano está en París)

We have six relative pronouns:Where,Who,Whose,Which,When and That.

    Here,we are going to put six examples:

         >Where: -He was in London.I was born.
                           *He was in London where I was born.
         >Who: -He is the man.He fights with Yeray.
                           *He is the man who fights with Yeray.
         >Whose -He is the man.His mother is Lola.
                            *He is the man whose mother is Lola.
         >Which: -The dog is ill.The dog is in the vet.
                             *The dog which is in the vet is ill.
          >When: -1981 was a year.I was born.
                              *1981 was the year when I was born.
          >That: -He is the man.He eats with Pepa.
                              * He is the man that eats with Pepa.

!¡ Sometimes,the relative pronouns can be omitted if we have a subject in each clause.For example:
           > He is the man.I met yesterday.
                    *He is the man (who) I met yesterday  |Who can be omitted because of the underlined subject|

Another thing is that we can use THAT instead of using Who or Which,but only in defining relative clauses that we are going to explain the next day.For example:
             *He is the man WHO/THAT fights with Yeray.
             
             *The dog WHICH/THAT is in the vet is ill.

Let's start with passives!

Why don't we anticipate the grammar of this term?

   During this term,we're going to learn how to do passives sentences so let's start!

 PASSIVES SENTENCES 

 

 We usually use the passive when we want to emphasize the action instead of emphasizing the person who carried it out.For example: Yo leo un libro.....El libro es leido por mí.
                                                 <<I read a book......A book is read by me>>
 **Estructure:

             Voz activa:   The italians    invented     jeans.
                                   Sujeto          Verbo       Objeto

             Voz pasiva:  Jeans   were invented   by the italians.
                               Sujeto         Verbo        Complemento
                                                cambiado        agente

!¡We mus't to pay attention to all the changes of verb tenses:

 
      **Passives with reporting verbs
La voz pasiva también se usa para informar sobre sentimientos o creencias.Los verbos más usados serán:accept,believe,expect,hope,know,say,think and understand.For example:
                        Dicen que el restaurante es muy bueno
                                    <<That restaurant is said to be very good>>
