Causative Structures
Causative structures are used when we want to express that someone causes something to happen. We often use the verbs 'have' or 'get' in these structures. This means that we are not doing the action ourselves, but we are asking someone else to do it for us.
Key Points
- Causative structures show someone causing an action.
- We use 'have' or 'get' + object + past participle.
- Common in everyday situations.
Reported Speech: Advanced Structures
Reported speech is used to express what someone else has said without quoting their exact words. This lesson will focus on advanced structures of reported speech, including changes in tenses, pronouns, and time expressions.
Key Points
- Reported speech changes the original speaker's words into a new structure.
- Tenses often shift back in reported speech.
- Pronouns and time expressions also change according to the context.
