Unit #3 Getting things done

Causative

Causatives are used to show how someone or something initiates or influences an action, clarifying the connection between the initiator and the activity. They help express who is responsible for making things happen in different contexts.

Causatives With Past Participle

In this type, the causative verb, typically 'get' or 'have,' is followed by an object and a past participle. This structure is used causatively to indicate that the subject arranged for an object to be in a specific state or condition. The structure is as follows: Subject + Causative Verb + Object + Past Participle.

Examples

I had my hair cut

I got my car repaired

Causatives with Non-Finite Clause

These causative verbs indicate that the subject is causing the object to perform the action of the main verb. In simpler terms, the subject does not do the action of the main verb; instead, it makes the object do the action. The subject's role can vary but usually involves starting, assisting, or making sure the action happens, without actually doing it themselves. The structure of making this type of causative is as follows: Subject + Causative Verb + Object + non-finite clause

Examples

She had him working on the proyect all the night

She had him practicing on the exam all the day

Unit # 4 reading for pleassure

A noun clause gets its name because it is simply a clause that acts like a noun. A clause is any group of words that contains both a subject and a verb, but noun clauses are a specific type of clause called a subordinate clause.

Also known as dependent clauses, subordinate clauses cannot be used alone and need to join an independent clause. That means sentences with noun clauses will always have at least two verbs (because they will always have two clauses).

Jose hopes that her mother won't be mad.

I didn't know that she spoke with the teacher.

Indirect Speech: Imperatives

Indirect speech, or reported speech, involves conveying what someone else has said without quoting them directly. When reporting commands, requests, or instructions (imperatives), we transform the direct command into an indirect form. This usually involves changing the verb into an infinitive and using verbs like tell, ask, order, or instruct.

Example:

Direct Speech: "Close the door."

Indirect Speech: He told me to close the door.

In reported statements, we can use either 'say' or 'tell'. The meaning is the same, but the grammar is different. For example:

Direct speech:

• John: "I'll be late".

Reported speech:

• John said (that) he would be late.

OR

• John told me (that) he was going to be late.

With 'tell' we NEED the object (e.g. 'me', 'you', 'her').
With 'say' we CAN'T use the object (e.g. 'me', 'them', 'us').
