Active Sentence : In active sentences, the thing does on the action is the subject of the sentence and the thing is receiving on the action is the object. Most sentences are active. The formula is [Thing does action] + [verb] + [thing receiving action]

Passive Sentence : In passive sentences, the thing receiving the action is the subject of the sentence and the thing doing the action is optionally included near the end of the sentence. You can use the passive form if you think that the thing receiving the action is more important or should be emphasized. You can also use the passive form if you do not know who is doing the action or if you do not want to mention who is doing the action. The formula is [Thing receiving action] + [be] + [past participle of verb] + [by] + [thing doing action]

CHAPTER 5

Indefinite Pronoun and Reflexive Pronoun

Indefinite Pronouns

These are pronouns that don't refer to a specific person or thing. The prefix "in" means "not." That will help you to remember that these pronouns are not definite.

Here are a couple of example sentences with indefinite pronouns :

 - Everyone laughed at the joke.

 - Both of the boys brought her flowers.

Notice that in both of those sentences, we're not sure which nouns the pronouns are replacing. They did not specify which nouns they replaced. They are not definite.

Examples of Indefinite Pronouns

Here is a list of indefinite pronouns:

each, everything, either, everyone, someone, anything, both, many, several, few, all, most, none, one, some, much

Reflexive Pronouns

Reflexive pronouns end in-self or -selves, and they always refer to the subject of the sentence.

Here are a couple of example sentences using reflexive pronouns:

 - The baby looked at herself in the mirror.

 - I bought myself a cupcake.

Notice that the pronouns herself and myself end in -self, and they both refer back to the subject of the sentence, baby and I.

Examples of Reflexive Pronouns

Here is a list of reflexive pronouns:

myself, yourself, himself, herself, itself, ourselves, yourselves, themselves

           

CHAPTER 6

Have Something Done and Causative Have

A.    HAVE SOMETHING DONE

We use HAVE/GET + OBJECT + PAST PARTICIPLE to say that we arrange for someone else to do something for us.

EXAMPLE : Janis took her trousers to the cleaner's : Janis HAD her trousers CLEANED
I'm mending my motorbike : I' M HAVING my motorbike MENDED
I check my daughter's homework every day : My daughter HAS her homework CHECKED every day

The verb to HAVE can be used in any VERB TENSE, either affirmative, negative or interrogative form.

B.     CAUSATIVE HAVE

We use a causative verb when we want to talk about something that someone else did for us or for another person. It means that the subject caused the action to happen, but didn't do it themselves. Maybe they paid, or asked, or persuaded the other person to do it. For example, we can say:

·         I cleaned my house. (This means I cleaned it myself).

If I paid someone to clean it, of course I can say:

·         A cleaner cleaned my house.

But, another way is to use a causative construction. So I can also say:

·         I had my house cleaned.

In a sense, using a causative verb is similar to using a passive. The important thing is that the house is now clean. We don't focus on who did the cleaning.

Have + object + past participle (have something done)

We usually use 'have something done' when we are talking about paying someone to do something for us. It's often used for services. The form is 'subject + have + object + past participle'.

·         I had my car washed.

·         John will have his house painted.

Get + object + past participle (get something done)

We can also use 'subject + get + object + past participle'. This has the same meaning as 'have', but is less formal.

·         The students get their essays checked.

·         I'll get my hair cut next week.

·         He got his washing machine fixed.

Try an exercise about 'have something done' and 'get something done' here.

Have someone do something (have + person + infinitive)

We can also use the construction 'subject + have + person + infinitive'. This has a very similar meaning to 'have something done', which we've already talked about, but this time we say who did the thing - we talk about the person who we asked to do the thing for us.

·         I had the electrician look at my broken light.

·         The doctor will have the nurse call the patients.

·         The teacher had the students write the answers on the whiteboard.

Get someone to do something (get + person + to + infinitive)

Finally, we can also use the construction 'get + someone + to + infinitive'. Again, this means that you cause the other person to do the action, maybe by paying them to do it, or by asking them to do it, or by persuading them to do it.

·         She gets her son to do his homework by promising him ice cream when he's finished.

·         I got the cleaner to clean under the cupboards.

Sometimes, this construction has the feeling that we needed to convince someone to do something, while the other constructions on this page are neutral.

CHAPTER 7

Determiner: all, each, every, few, little

Understanding Determiners

Determiners are one part of the part of speech that is used in order to determine the various single or groups of nouns (noun) in the United Kingdom Language sentence. Determiners are used in order to clarify something that we are talking about becoming more clear.

Determiners fruit with pronouns, because determiners always followed by a noun (a noun). Personal pronouns (I, you, they, we, he, she, it) and the Possesive pronouns (mine belong to you, they, we, his, hers, that is) are both not illiquid determiners.

A variety of Sample Sentences and Determiners

The determiners are:

1. Articles: a/an/the

2. Demonstrative Pronouns: this/that, these/those

3. Possessive Adjectives: my/your/their/our/his/her/its

For example:

Can you open the window, please?

These books are expensive.

May I borrow your books, please?

How to use Determiners in Arabic United Kingdom

You can use determiners when you already know exactly (specifically) of either objects or people which you are discussed.

In general the use of determiners are used to mengkespresikan how many people or objects (things) you're talking about. In conclusion, determiners are part of part of speech used to indicate quantity (quantity/amount) in the United Kingdom Language sentence.

In the United Kingdom Language order (English Grammar), determiners are quantifiers. Here are the various from the quantifiers:

CHAPTER 9

So and Such

Third Conditional

Structures using 'such' and 'so' are similar in meaning, but different in construction. The main difference between the two structures is that 'such' takes a noun phrase, whereas 'so' takes an adjective.

'Such … that'

'Such … that' takes a noun or modified noun in a noun phrase. 'That' can be used following the noun phrase but is not required.

such + adjective + noun + (that)

Examples:

The recording was such a disappointment that I didn't buy any more from that artist.

It was such an expensive car that the didn't buy it.

'So … that'

'So … that' takes an adjective. 'That' can be used following the noun phrase but is not required.

So + adjective + (that)

Examples:

The game was so fascinating (that) he played for hours.

Our vacation apartment was so luxurious (that) we didn't want to leave.

'So' for Results

'So' can also be used to express a result. In this case 'so' is followed by a full clause:
