Reported speech

When we report someone's words we can do it in two ways.
we can use direct speech with quotation marks or reported how other person said.

we use reported speech when we want to repeat what other people said

example:

We may not say exactly what the person said:

Reporting Questions

When we report what people say, we usually change the tense of the verbs to reflect that we are reporting.

Review UNIT 4

Compound nouns

Words can be combined to form compound nouns. These are very common, and new combinations are invented almost daily. They normally have two parts. The second partidentifies the object or person in question (man, friend, tank). The first part tell us what kind of objecct or person it is, or what is purpose is (police,boy).

What tipy / what who ?

police               man                  policeman

boy                   friend                boyfriend

water              tank                       watertank


One Word or two words ?

There are no clear rules about this so write the common compounds that you know well as one Word, and the others as two words.

greenhouse


Have/ get Something done

This construction is passive in meaning. It describes situations where we want someone else to do something for us ( a favor, or as a service)


1. I must get/ have my hair cut.
2 When are you going to get that window replaced?
we're having the house painted.


The expression " to have somebody do something" is used to talk about activities performed by a specific subject.

I will have Mike repair my car.
My father had Mr Johnson paint a picture of himself.

" to get somebody to do something" is very similar.
to " to have somebody do something". However, its meaning is closer to " persuade".

I must get my dad to buy me a new computer
We need to get the teacher to give us a good grade.

Review UNIT 3

THE vs NO ARTICLE

The uses before nouns of which there is only one.

example- The earth is round

Before a noun which has become definite as a result of being mentioned a second time.

example- we saw a good film last night, It  was the film you recommended.

Before names of seas, rivers, chains of mountains, groups of islands.

example- The Pacific Ocean, The thames

Before musical instruments

examples- She play the piano.

We do not use an article when we talk sbout plural nouns when we are talking generally.

examples- Dogs are very intelligent animals.
                 Companies spend lots of mone in advertising.

INDIRECT QUESTIONS

We use indiret questions when we want to make more polite questions. They have an opening phrase before the main question. Indirect questions do not follow the question Word order.

For yes/no questions, include if/ whether after the opening phrase.

examples:
  • Where can I buy a good computer?- Can you tell me where I can buy a good computer?
  • Are there any internet cafes around here?- Do you know if there are any internet cafes around here ?
  • Where is the post office?- Could you tell me where the post office is ?

Senses


Why is each sense important?

The senses are very important for human beings because they give us knowledge of the outside world and our own body. It is the main thing by which information reaches the brain giving human beings the possibility to navigate in the world.

The sensations allow us to perceive signals and reflections, it  is important for the mental development of the person.

There are 5 senses:

·         Taste.-serve to perceive flavors, recognize textures and temperature of the food.

·         Smell- serves to describe and recognize the State of things.

·         View-we used to see things, we perceive the size of objects and the distance you are from us.

·         Ear-helps to differentiate sounds.

·         Touch-we used to feel things that we touch.



If you had to choose, what sense would you eliminate? Why?

 I eliminate smell because I think that it is the less important and is the least it matters.
I would not mind losing that sense somo others I head spin a cause me headache.
