Welcome to your eighth week of online tuition! We are going to start with a little review of important grammar points so that we can carry out an exam on Wednesday. I have been keeping record of the most "tricky" grammar points ( the ones which made you commit the most mistakes this year) and prepared some practice about the. So for today, we will be practising the causative. Do you remember the structure?
HAVE/GET+SOMETHING+DONE
Remember it is a passive structure , where you arrange somebody else to do something ( you ask/pay/order/somebody for a service )
When my hairdresser's reopens, I'll have my hair cut
which means that you do not cut your hair yourself, you get somebody to do it for you.
Have a look at the following explanatory video ro review its use. The video has 5 questions at the end. Try to answer them all.
TODAY'S ASSIGNMENT
Do you remember the structure? Good! Now let's practice with some exercises.
PRACTICE WITH THIS EXERCISE . After that , post a little paragraph ( or 5 sentences ) on the blog explaining the different services that you/ your family got done during the COVID-19 lockdown. Try to make the sentences true for you and post it by today.
Eg. I couldn't have my laptop repaired by the local computer shop.
We'll continue tomorrow with a general passive practice. See you then😉
