Grammar Explanations
Grammar 1: Make, Get, Let, and Help
1. We use make + an object + the base form of the verb to talk about when a
person Forces another person to do something.
Nick: Are you really going to make me put these on?
Talia: Yes.
2. We use have + an object + the base form verb to talk about when a person
causes another person to do something. Have is not as strong as make.
Talia had Amy call Valentinos to make reservations.
3. We use get to talk about when a person persuades another person to do
something. Notice that get is followed by an object + an infitive not the
base form
Talia: Im not trying to get you to take me out on a date.
We do Not say: say: Im not trying to get you take me out.
4. We use let + an object + the base form to talk about when a person permits
another person to do something.
Tony let Talia work on the Crawford story.
5. We can use help + an object + the base form of the verb or the infinitive.
Talia: Im trying to help you save your career.
Im trying to help you to save your career.
These 2 senteces have the same meaning, but help + the base form is more
common.
Grammar 2: So and Neither
1. We often use short sentences with so to express, agreement with another
speaker. When we use this type of response, we dont have to repeat the
information in the first statement.
Talia: I care about your statement.
Nick: So do I!
Here, so do I means I care about my future, too.
We can also use so and neither to add similar information to what another
speaker has said.
Nick: Jackie doesnt look very happy.
Talia: Neither does Dean.
In the example, neither does Dean means Dean doesnt look very happy,
either.
