UNIT 3

THE PASSIVE VOICE & CAUSATIVE HAVE

PASSIVE VOICE

Grammar

1) A passive verb form is a form of BE + past participle.
2) When the subject is the person or thing doing the action (the agent) we use an active verb. When the subject is not the agent, then the verb is passive:
Columbus discovered America - America was discovered by Columbus
3) In a passive sentence, when we want to say who or what did the action, we use BY:
They were questioned by the police
4) We do not mention the agent when:
- the agent does not add any new information - the agent is not important - it is difficult to say who the agent is
5) We can use empty subjects (you, they, people, someone) instead of the passive, especially in conversation:
A new theatre is being opened - They are opening a new theatre
6) We use the passive both in speech and writing, but it is more common in writing. We use it to describe activities in industry, science and technology (processes), official rules and news reports.
7) We sometimes use GET in the passive rather than BE, mainly in informal English, to emphazise change. We often use it for something happening by accident, unexpectedly or in an unplanned way:
Our car got damaged on our way home.
We also use GET in idiomatic expressions like get dressed/married...

Special Passive Patterns
1) In an active sentence a verb of giving can have two different patterns after it:
She gave us a present / She gave a present to us.
Both "us" (but using the subject pronoun) and "a present" can be the subject of a passive sentence. It is quite normal in English for the person receiving something to be the subject in a passive sentence. Verbs in this pattern are:give, send, pay, lend, hand, sell, promise, show, offer, teach, owe, award, grant, allow, leave (in a will) and feed.
2) We can use a special pattern with verbs of reporting when we do not need to know who is doing the reporting:
People say taxes will increase - It is said that taxes will increase
We often use this pattern with IT + BE + SAID (THAT) ... in news reports. Verbs in this pattern are: say, report, mention, announce, think, believe, understand, agree, decide, know, find, expect, hope, regret, fear, intend and arrange.
3) We can also use a pattern with an infinitive:
People said he would win a prize - He was said to win a prize People said he won a prize - He was said to have won a prize People said he was planning a new scheme - He was said to be planning a new schem
n this pattern we can use: say, report, think, believe, understand, know, find, expect and intend.	I

4) HAVE/GET SOMETHING DONE: We use HAVE or GET (more informal) in a passive pattern which means to arrange for someone to do something for you as a professional service:

Both have and get are ordinary verbs, so they can have an auxiliary when necessary:

When did you have/get your house painted?

We can use have in this pattern with the meaning "experience something", often something unpleasant:

We had our house broken into.

5) TO BE DONE and BEING DONE:

a) Some verbs take a to-infinitive (want to do...) and some take an -ing form (enjoy doing...). After a preposition we use an -ing form (interested in doing...). The to-infinitive or -ing form can be active or passive:

I want to meet them at the airport - I want to be met at the airport
I don't like people laughing at me - I don't like being laughed at

b) Active forms with passive meaning:

- The active form after need has a passive meaning:

The roof needs repairing - The roof needs to be repaired

- We sometimes use an active infinitive to refer to jobs to be done:

I've got some letters to write

- If the subject is not the person doing the job, then we use a passive infinitive:

These letters are to be sent.

- After the subject there we can use either an active or a passive infinitive:

There are some letters to send / There are some letters to be sent.

HAVING THINGS DONE/MANDAR HACER ALGO

THE CAUSATIVE: HAVE/GET SOMETHING DONE

Have /get + objeto + participio pasado = I have /get my watch mended

A. Se usa un verbo causativo para expresar las acciones que encargamos a alguien.

She always has her food delivered (en lugar de traerla ella, pide a alguien que se la traiga)

I got my phtograph taken for my passport (otra persona me hizo la foto)

Esta estructura tiene un significado pasivo, puesto que el sustantivo que va en medio recibe la acción expresada por el verbo en participio.

Nota:

a) get también indica que el objeto realiza personalmente la acción o se implica mucho en su ejecución.

When I get my homework done, I’ll match TV

b) have es un poco más formal que get y get es más frecuente que have en la forma imperativa.Example: Get your bedroom tidied at once!

Nótese la diferencia entre:

a) I’m going to have/get this chair restored

b) I’m going to restore this chair
En la frase a) yo voy a llevar la silla a alguien para que efectúe la restauración, mientras que en la b) soy yo mismo quien la efectúa.

B. Si quisiéramos mencionar quién hace la acción, podríamos añadir by + el agente al final de la frase.

Susan had her car repaired by a mechanic (Susan llevó el coche a un mecánico para que se lo arreglara)

C. El verbo causativo puede usarse prácticamente en cualquier tiempo, incluso en las formas continuas.

We’re having our house painted this week

Jack will be getting his messages sent by e-mail from now on

TENSE	HAVE/GET SOMETHING DONE
Present Simple	I have/get my hair cut.
Past Simple	I had/got my hair cut.
Present Continuous	I'm having/getting my hair cut.
Past Continuous	I was having/getting my hair cut.
Present Perfect	I have had my hair cut.
Past Perfect	I had had my hair cut.
will	I will have my hair cut.
must	I must have my hair cut.
be going to	I'm going to have my hair cut.

D. La interrogativa y la negativa se forman como las de cualquier otro verbo

Do you have your car serviced regularly?

Did he get his house redecorated last week?

You won’t have your eyes tested next week

I’m not getting my hair cut today.

E. En situaciones en las que se quiere indicar que algo desagradable ha ocurrido en el pasado se suele usar have + objeto + participio

He had his car broken last week

I had my finger bitten during the fight

She had his mobile phone stolen while she was playing in the playground

UNIT 4

IF-CLAUSES

	IF-CLAUSE	MAIN CLAUSE	MEANING
General conditions ("Zero" Conditional)	Simple present	Simple present	General laws; things that are always true
Possible conditions (1st Conditional)	Simple present	WILL + V (also CAN, MAY, MUST & imperatives)	Probable future result
Hypothetical conditions (2nd Conmditional)	Simple past	WOULD + V (also COULD / MIGHT)	Imaginary situation in the present or future
Impossible conditions (3rd Conditional)	Past Perfect	WOULD HAVE + pp (also COULD / MIGHT)	Imaginary situation in the past
*UNLESS* can be used with the meaning "IF ... NOT" in general and possible conditions only.

Other structures

As long as, providing (or provided that) and on condition: these expressions meanonlyifand can be used with the same verb forms as conditional sentences:
In Spain you can drive a car as long as you are 18
Inversion of subject and verb: this structure is very common in formal English in conditional sentences with should and the past perfect. When inversion is used, we omit if:

Had I known about the transport strike, I would have taken my car.

Should you meet Sheila, tell her the meeting has been postponed.

INVERSION IN CONDITIONAL SENTENCES (ADVANCED LEVEL)

In formal English conditional sentences can be formed by inversion of subject and auxiliary. Also, if is removed.

Consider these examples:

Unreal present

Were I you, I would visit my grandfather.

Unreal past

In formal English conditional sentences can be formed by inversion of subject and auxiliary. Also, if is removed.

Consider these examples:

Unreal present

Were I you, I would visit my grandfather.

Unreal past

Had I known this fact before, I wouldn't have come here.
Had Jake been informed about the meeting, he would have participated.

CONDITIONAL CLAUSES

Grammar theory -

Conditional clauses, describe the condition upon which the action in the main clause depends. Their basic structure is the following:

If…………then………………..

Different types of conditional will depend on how possible is that expressed in the conditional clause.

Type 0- neutral type

Here if could be replaced by when and the resulting sentence would be:

'When it was very cold, we switched on the heating.'

IF	PRESENT (or same tense)	PRESENT (or same tense
If	It is very cold/it was very cold	We switch/switched on the heating

Type I- open condition

What happens in the main clause may or may not happen, depending on the conditional cluse

IF	PRESENT	FUTURE, IMPERATIVE, CAN, MAY
If	You want to lose weight,	You will probably be hungry
If	You see her,	Tell her to give me a ring

IMPERATIVE	"AND"/"OR"	FUTURE
Keep working like that	And	You will have an accident
Please sit down	Or	You won't see the show.

Something that may happen is seen as depending on chance or highly improbable.

IF	SHOULD	FUTURE and IMPERATIVE
If	You should find this can difficult to open,	Return to the shop
SHOULD + subject + verb		FUTURE and IMPERATIVE
Should you find my keyholder,		You will telephone me immediately Telephone me immediately

Type 2- hypothetical but possible condition

The main clause depends on an imaginary non fact in the if-clause, expressed by past tenses

IF	PAST	CONDITIONAL, COULD, MIGHT
If	You bought a car	You would spend money on fuel You could drive your friends around

It is less likely that the action in the conditional takes place.

IF	"WERE TO"	CONDITIONAL, COULD, MIGHT
If	You were to meet Mr James,	You could see that he's a nasty little guy
WERE + SUBJECT + TO INFINITIVE		CONDITIONAL, COULD, MIGHT
Were you to find walking difficult,		You could try the easy way up.

Type 3- hypothetical but unreal condition

What is said in the main clause is an imaginary consequence of something that that didn't happen

IF	PAST PERFECT	PERFECT CONDITIONAL
If	We had followed his advices	We would have found a house near the river

IF	PAST PERFECT	COULD or MIGHT HAVE
If	You had told me before	I could have got you the tickets

Summary of inversions in the conditional sentences

In type 1

"SHOULD" INVERTED	FUTURE or IMPERATIVE
Should my mother call me	Tell her I'm not feeling too well

In type 2

"WERE TO" INVERTED	CONDITIONAL
Were they to arrive tomorrow	We would have to buy some food

In type 3

PAST PERFECT INVERTED	PERFECT CONDITIONAL
Had you seen what I saw	you would have also believed it

Other expressions used in conditional clauses:

UNLESS " Si no…" "A menos que..."	You won't finish the race unless you control your effort.
"WHETHER…OR NOT" "Tanto….como si no "	Whether you pay or not, you won't get in without an invitation.
"ON CONDITION THAT" "PROVIDED THAT" "PROVIDING THAT" "SO LONG AS" "AS LONG AS "Siempre que, en tanto que, con la condición de que,...etc "ASSUMING THAT" "SUPPOSING THAT" "SUPPOSE THAT" "Suponiendo que.."	"I will only tell my age on condition that you tell yours." "What would you do supposing that you were given the chance to see the future ?" "Assuming that it's fine tomorrow, we'll go for a swim"

Exercise 1

UNIT 4 RELATIVE CLAUSES

Defining Relative Clauses

They describe the preceding noun and give essential information about the noun. They are introduced by a relative pronoun which can be replaced by THAT or even omitted (except when the relative pronoun is subject of the clause or is in the possessive case). They are not separated by commas.


possessive	WHOSE	The film is about a man WHOSE children are kidnapped
Things as:
subject	WHICH / THAT	The cup WHICH / THAT is on the table is full of sugar
object (of a verb)	WHICH / THAT / --	The cup (WHICH / THAT) I bought in Venice is on the table
object (of a preposition)	WHICH / THAT / --	The novel (WHICH / THAT) you talked ABOUT is very good
Notice that the preposition moves to the end of the clause.
possessive	WHOSE	Living in a house WHOSE walls were made of glass would be horrible

Notice also that:

- when usually replaces in/on which (time)
- where usually replaces in/at which (place)
- why usually replaces for which (reason)

When, where and why used in this way are called relative adverbs, and can be omitted in the same way as relative pronouns.

Non-defining Relative Clauses

They are placed after nouns which are definite already; therefore, the information they add to the noun is not essential. They are always introduced by a relative pronoun which cannot be replaced by THAT and they are separated by commas.

subject	WHO	John, WHO is going to marry Jill soon, is an engineer
object (of a verb)	WHO (WHOM)	Peter, WHO everyone suspected, turned out to be innocent
object (of a preposition)	WHO (WHOM)	She asked Paul, WHO she worked FOR, to give her a holiday
Notice that the preposition moves to the end of the clause. If the clause contains an expression of time or place, this will remain at the end: Peter, WHO I play tennis WITH on Sundays, is fitter than me
possessive	WHOSE	Alice, WHOSE parents live next to us, is trying to get a job
Things as:
subject	WHICH	I went to Port Aventura, WHICH is a famous park
object (of a verb)	WHICH	Port Aventura, WHICH I have visited on several occasions, is near Tarragona
object (of a preposition)	WHICH	John's house, WHICH we were talking ABOUT just yesterday, has been demolished
Notice that the preposition moves to the end of the clause.Where and when can also introduce non-defining relative clauses: Three years ago I travelled to Austria, WHERE I met my future husband I read lots of books last month, WHEN I had a broken leg
possessive	WHOSE	Living in Barcelona, WHOSE climate is temperate, is a wish many people have

Connective Relative Clauses

They have the same form as non-defining relative clauses. They do not describe a noun but continue the story. They are introduced by who, which and whose, which can be replaced by and or but. They are usually placed after the object of the main verb or after the preposition + noun structure:

I told Jane, WHO said it wasn't her business
(BUT she said it wasn't her business)

We went with John, WHOSE car broke down before we got there
(BUT his car broke down before we got there)

He drank a lot of whisky, WHICH made him ill
(AND it made him ill)

WHICH can also stand for a whole sentence:

They asked me to go away, WHICH was very rude
They said it was his fault, WHICH wasn't true
