EASY:










































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

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 CONDITIONAL SENTENCES/IF-CLAUSES



IF-CLAUSES






IF-CLAUSE

(also CAN, MAY, MUST & imperatives)

(2nd Conmditional)
Simple past

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:

Inversion after certain adverbs or adverb phrases t
o give emphasis. 
In this article, we're going to have a look at inversion that sometimes takes place with
certain adverbs and adverb phrases, mostly with a negative or restrictive sense. Such
adverbs (adverb phrases) can be placed first in asentence or clause for emphasis. They
are then followed by the interrogative (i.e. inverted ) form of the verb.
The most important of these adverbs include:
•
hardly ever
•
never
•
scarcely ever
•
only by
•
in no circumstances
•
only in this way on no account
•
hardly . . . when
•
only then/when no sooner . . . than
•
scarcely . . . when
•
not only
•
seldom
•
nowhere
•
not till
•
so
•
neither/nor

Examples of how to use them:
•
I had never before seen such a beatiful place. =
Never before had I been asked to lie.
•
a) I haven't got any money.
b) Neither/Nor have I.
•
They not only rob you, they smash everything too. =
Not only do they rob you, they smash everything too
.
•
She became so depressed that. . . =
So sepressed did she become that. . .
•
This switch must not be touched on any account. =
On no account must this switch be touched.
•
Mike didn't realize how difficult how situation was
till he received the letter. =
Not untill he received the letter did he realize ho
w difficult his situation was.
Also note that a second negative verb in a sentenc
e can sometimes be expressed by
nor
with inversion:
•
She had no friends and didn't know anyone who could
help her. =
She had no friends, nor did she know anyone who cou
ld help her. 
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

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 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"

If

You could see that he's a nasty little guy
WERE + SUBJECT + TO INFINITIVE
CONDITIONAL, COULD, MIGHT

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 would have found a house near the river
IF
PAST PERFECT
COULD or MIGHT HAVE
If
