Passive Voice
Everyone drinks water.

Water is drunk by everyone.

"Voice" is a grammatical category that applies to verbs. Voice in English


expresses the relationship of the subject to the action. Voice has two
values:
● active: the subject does the action
● passive: the subject receives the action

Shakespeare wrot Hamlet


e .

Hamlet was by Shakespeare.


written

The active voice is the "normal" voice - the one that we use most of the
time. In the active voice, the object receives the action of the verb:

active subject verb object

Cats eat mice.

The passive voice is lss common. In the passive voice, the subject receives
the action of the verb:

passive subject verb object


Mice are eaten by cats.

See how the object of the active verb becomes the subject of the passive
verb:

subject verb object

active Everybody drinks water.

passive Water is drunk by everybody.

Active Voice
Cats eat mice.

The active voice is the "normal" voice of an English sentence. Intransitive


verbs (verbs with no direct object) are always in the active voice. Transitive
verbs are usually in the active voice:

subject verb

Johnny laughed.
Anton got up late.

People drink water


.

In the active voice, the subject is the person or thing responsible for the
action of the verb.

All tenses are possible in the active voice, as well as all sentence types,
positive, negative or question.

Use of active

The active voice is the "default" voice in English. All intransitive verbs can
only be in the active voice, and all transitive verbs usually are active voice -
unless we deliberately make them passive.

In spoken English, we almost always use active voice. It is the natural


choice, more precise and generally shorter.

3.1 Adverbs of degree.

Adverbs of degree
Adverbs of degree tell us about the intensity of something. Adverbs of degree are
usually placed before the adjective, adverb, or verb that they modify, although there
are some exceptions. The words "too", "enough", "very", and "extremely" are
examples of adverbs of degree.

Adverb Modifyi Example


of ng
degree

extreme adjectiv The water was


ly e extremely cold.

quite adjectiv The movie is quite


e interesting.

just verb He was just


leaving.

almost verb She has almost


finished.

very adverb She is running very


fast.

too adverb You are walking


too slowly.
enough adverb You are running
fast enough.

Usage of "enough"
Enough can be used as both an adverb and as a determiner.

Enough as an adverb
Enough as an adverb meaning 'to the necessary degree' goes after the adjective or
adverb that it is modifying, and not before it as other adverbs do. It can be used both

9.1 Past and present participial adjectives.

Participle Adjectives

Some participles (like 'bored' or 'boring') can be used as adjectives. These are used in a
slightly different way from normal adjectives. We usually use the past participle (ending in -
ed) to talk about how someone feels:

● I was really bored during the flight (NOT: I was really boring during the flight).
● She's interested in history (NOT: She's really interesting in history).
● John's frightened of spiders (NOT: John's frightening of spiders).

We usually use the present participle (ending in -ing) to talk about the person, thing, or
situation which has caused the feeling:

● It was such a long, boring flight (so I was bored).


● I read a really interesting book about history (so I was interested).
● Many people find spiders frightening (so they're frightened when they see spiders).

Be careful! 'I'm boring' is very different from 'I'm bored'! 'I'm boring' means I cause other
people to be bored. This is not good! Here are some examples of when one person causes a
feeling in another person:

● I was talking to such a boring guy at the party. He talked about himself for an hour!
● Estaba hablando con un tipo tan
31.- EDUARDO .-

aburrido en la fiesta. ¡Habló de sí mismo


durante una hora!
● She's a really interesting woman. She's lived all over the world and speaks five

Ella es una mujer realmente


languages. 32.- EDUARDO.-

interesante. Ella ha vivido en todo el mundo


y habla cinco idiomas
● My maths teacher at school was really frightening! He was always shouting at the
students. 33.- EDUARDO.-

● ¡Mi profesor de matemáticas en la escuela


era realmente aterrador! Siempre les gritaba
a los estudiantes
These participle adjectives make their comparative by using 'more' (not -er) and their
superlative by using 'most' (not -est):

● I was more frightened of dogs than spiders when I was a child. 34 .- EDUARDO.-

Cuando era niño, tenía más miedo a los


perros que a las arañas.
● That book is more boring than this one.35.- EDUARDO.- Ese libro es

más aburrido que este.


● I think Dr Smith's lesson was more interesting than Dr Brown's.36.-Creo

que la lección del Dr. Smith fue más


interesante que la del Dr. Brown.
● For 24 hours on the flight to Australia, I was the most bored I've ever been.34-
Daniel - Durante 24 horas en el vuelo a Australia estuve más aburrido que nunca
● I think this is the most interesting talk we've heard today.33-Daniel- Creo que esta
es la charla más interesante que hemos escuchado hoy.

● Fue la

9.2 Get + adjective; Get + past participle.

9.3 The…. The… comparatives.

Formation of Comparative Adjectives


There are two ways to make or to "form" a comparative adjective:

● short adjectives: add "-er"


● long adjectives: use "more"

Short adjectives: add -er examples

1-syllable adjectives old, fast

I am older than you comparativo 1 silaba

he is the oldest in the room superlativo 1 silaba

2-syllable adjectives ending in -y


happy, easy

RULE: add "-er" old → older

Variation: if the adjective ends in -e, just add -r late → later

Variation: if the adjective ends in consonant, vowel, consonant, double big → bigger
the last consonant

Variation: if the adjective ends in -y, change the y to i happy →


happier

Long adjectives: use more examples

2-syllable adjectives not ending in -y modern, pleasant

expensive, intellectual

Y syllables

RULE: use "more" modern → more modern

expensive → more expensive

this car is more expensive than mine


that truck is the most expensive

With some 2-syllable adjectives, we can use "-er" OR "more":

quiet → quieter/more quiet

clever → cleverer/more clever

narrow → narrower/more narrow


simple → simpler/more simple
Exception: The following adjectives have irregular forms:

good → better
well (healthy) → better

bad → worse
far → farther/further

Use of Comparative Adjectives


We use comparative adjectives when talking about 2 things (not 3 or 10 or 1,000,000 things,
only 2 things).

Often, the comparative adjective is followed by "than".

Look at these examples:

● John is 1m80. He is tall. But Chris is 1m85. He is taller than John. 45.-Cassandra: Él
es más alto que John
● America is big. But Russia is bigger. 45.-Gabriel: Estados Unidos es grande. Pero
Rusia es más grande.
● 38.-Mariano:the sentra car is much better than the others:el carro sentra es mucho
mejor que los demas.
● I want to have a more powerful computer. 33.- Carlos perez: Quiero tener una
● computadora mas poderosa.
● 39.-Mariano:I want a much newer cell phone:quiero un celular mucho mas nuevo.
● Is French more difficult than English? 34.- Carlos Perez: ¿es el frances mas dificil
que ingles.?
● 46.- ¿Es el francés es más difícil que el inglés?
● 36.- Patty - The river is bigger than the stream.
● 28-mireya:I want a lunch more detailed boyfriend.
● 47 Mauricio Gaytan: El frances es mas dificil que el ingles

If we talk about the two planets Earth and Mars, we can compare them as shown in the table
below:

Earth Mar
s

Diameter (km) 12,76 6,79 Mars is smaller than Earth.


0 0 46.- Gabriel: Marte es más pequeño que
la Tierra.

Distance from Sun (million km) 150 228 Mars is more distant from the Sun.46.-
Martin Alvarado. Marte está más distante
del sol.

Length of day (hours) 24 25 A day on Mars is slightly longer than a


day on Earth.
37.- Jhovany.- Un día en Marte es
ligeramente más largo que un día en la
tierra.

Moons 1 2 Mars has more moons than Earth. 47.-


Cassandra: Marte tiene más lunas que el
planeta tierra

Surface temperature (degrees 22 -23 Mars is colder than Earth.


Celsius) 47.- Gabriel: Marte es más frío que la
tierra
Although we use comparative adjectives when talking about two things (not three or more
things), in fact one or both of the things may be a group of things.

● Mt Everest is higher than all other mountains. 48.-Cassandra: la montaña Everest es


más alta que las demás montañas

Here, we are talking about hundreds of mountains, but we are still comparing one thing (Mt
Everest) to one other thing (all other mountains).
48- Mauricio Gaytan- A qui estamos hablando de cientos de montañas pero seguimos
comparando el monte everest con otras montañas

The comparative and the superlative


Comparative adjectives

Comparative adjectives are used to compare differences between the two objects they
modify (larger, smaller, faster, higher). They are used in sentences where two nouns are
compared, in this pattern:

Noun (subject) + verb + comparative adjective + than + noun (object).

The second item of comparison can be omitted if it is clear from the context (final example
below).

Examples

● This! parking lot is much bigger40.-Mariano:este


estacionamiento es mucho mas grande
● My house is larger than hers. 48.- Gabriel: Mi casa es mas
grande que la de ella
● This box is smaller than the one I lost.49.- Cassandra:Está
caja es más pequeña que la que perdí
● Your dog runs faster than Jim's dog. 50.- Tu perro corre más
rápido que el perro de Jim
● This refrigerator is much more spacious.41.-Mariano:Este refrigerador es mucho mas
amplio.
● The rock flew higher than the roof. 49.-Gabriel: La roca voló
más alto que el techo
● Jim and Jack are both my friends, but I like Jack better. ("than
Jim" is understood)47.- martin alvarado. Jim y Jack son mis amigos, pero me gusta
mas jack.( esta entendiendo Jim)
● 37.- Patty - Alan grew up a lot, he’s taller than Cris.
● 29- My Best use wider than his.

Superlative adjectives

Superlative adjectives are used to describe an object which is at the upper or lower limit of a
quality (the tallest, the smallest, the fastest, the highest). They are used in sentences where
a subject is compared to a group of objects.

Noun (subject) + verb + the + superlative adjective + noun (object).

The group that is being compared with can be omitted if it is clear from the context (final
example below).

Examples

● My house is the largest one in our neighborhood.


● 50.- Gabriel: Mi casa es la más grande de nuestro barrio.
● This is the smallest box I've ever seen.51.- Esta caja es la
más pequeña que he visto
● Your dog ran the fastest of any dog in the race

38.- Jhovany.- Tu perro corrió más rápido que cualquier otro en la carrera.

● We all threw our rocks at the same time. My rock flew the
highest. ("of all the rocks" is understood)52.- Cassandra:Todos lanzamos piedras al
mismo tiempo. Mi piedra fue la que voló lo más alto.
● 38.- Patty - My dog is the biggest because he eats a lot of croquettes.
● 30-we all ate at the dame time but Jesús took Longer.

Forming regular comparatives and superlatives

Forming comparatives and superlatives is easy. The form depends on the number of
syllables in the original adjective.

One syllable adjectives

Add -er for the comparative and -est for the superlative. If the adjective has a consonant +
single vowel + consonant spelling, the final consonant must be doubled before adding the
ending.
A Comp Sup
djective arative erlative

tall taller talle


st

fat fatter fatte


st

bi bigger bigg
g est

sa sadde sadd
d r est

Two syllables

Adjectives with two syllables can form the comparative either by adding -er or by preceeding
the adjective with more. These adjectives form the superlative either by adding -est or by
preceeding the adjective with most. In many cases, both forms are used, although one
usage will be more common than the other. If you are not sure whether a two-syllable
adjective can take a comparative or superlative ending, play it safe and use more and most
instead. For adjectives ending in y, change the y to an i before adding the ending.

djective arative rlative

ha happi happi
ppy er est
si simple simpl
mple r est

bu busier busie
sy st

ta more most

Three or more syllables

Adjectives with three or more syllables form the comparative by putting more in front of the
adjective, and the superlative by putting most in front.

10.1 Phrasal verbs.


Phrasal verbs
Ahora que ya comprendemos sus componentes, entendamos cómo funcionan los
verbos compuestos. Comencemos con un ejemplo sencillo, el verbo look, to look
significa mirar. Sin embargo, al agregar la preposición up al final del verbo, look up
adquiere un significado diferente, significa buscar o admirar. Si agregamos la
preposición out al final del verbo, look out, significa prestar atención o tener cuidado.

Los verbos en inglés son muy comunes y muy útiles. Ahora que ya los conoces
seguramente te darás cuenta de que los escuchas con frecuencia en todo tipo de
conversaciones. La mejor forma de aprenderlos es practicarlos y prestar atención al
escuchar, si escuchas un verbo que frecuentemente se acompaña de otra palabra,
entonces es un verbo compuesto.

El significado de algunos verbos compuestos es muy obvio, por ejemplo el verbo


calm down (calmarse), cuyo significado puede ser inferido simplemente al conocer
el verbo. Sin embargo, otros verbos compuestos como come on (anda / ven), tienen
múltiples significados y traducciones no literales. La mejor forma de aprender estos
verbos es practicar y practicar. Un método muy útil puede ser agruparlos en
categorías de acuerdo a su uso y significado.

Phrasal verbs vs Collocations


No debemos confundir los verbos compuestos con las colocaciones o collocations
en inglés. Las colocaciones son dos palabras que suelen decirse juntas como make
a mistake (cometer un error), mientras que los verbos compuestos son una sola
palabra compuesta de términos.
También es importante recordar que los verbos compuestos en inglés son como
cualquier otro verbo y se conjugan de la misma forma. Por ejemplo, el verbo turn off:
apagar, se conjuga de la siguiente forma: turned off: apagado, turning off: apagando.

11.2 The passive with reporting verbs.

12.1 Present hypothetical conditionals versus past hypothetical conditionals.

12.2 Implied conditionals.

12.3 As if / As though for unreal situations.

Conditionals
If I see her, I will tell her.

There are several structures in English that we call conditionals or if


conditionals. The word "condition" means "situation or circumstance". If a
particular condition is true, then a particular result happens:

● if y = 3 then 2y = 6

There are three basic English conditionals plus the so-called zero
conditional. There are some more conditionals that we do not use so often.

conditional usage if-clause main-clause


type

1 possible condition + present will + base verb


probable result simple
2 hypothetical condition + past would + base
possible result simple verb

3 expired past condition + past would have +


possible past result perfect past participle

0 real condition + present present simple


inevitable result simple

Structure of Conditional Sentences

Zero Conditional
for certainty

If you heat ice, it melts.

We use the so-called zero conditional when the result of the condition is
always true, like a scientific fact.

Take some ice. Put it in a saucepan. Heat the saucepan. What happens?
The ice melts (it becomes water). You would be surprised if it did not.

if condition result

Present Simple Present Simple


If you heat ice, it melts.

Notice that we are thinking about a result that is always true for this
condition. The result of the condition is an absolute certainty. We are not
thinking about the future or the past, or even the present. We are thinking
about a simple fact. We use the Present Simple tense to talk about the
condition. We also use the Present Simple tense to talk about the result.
The important thing about the zero conditional is that the condition always
has the same result.

Look at these example sentences:

if condition result

Present Simple Present Simple

If I miss the 8 o'clock bus, I am late for work.

If I am late for work, my boss gets


angry.

If people don't eat, they get hungry.

If you heat ice, does it melt?


result if condition

Present Simple Present Simple

I am late for work if I miss the 8 o'clock


bus.

My boss gets angry if I am late for work.

People get hungry if they don't eat.

Does ice melt if you heat it?

First Conditional
for real possibility

If I win the lottery, I will buy a car.

We are talking about the future. We are thinking about a particular


condition or situation in the future, and the result of this condition. There is
a real possibility that this condition will happen. For example, it is morning.
You are at home. You plan to play tennis this afternoon. But there are some
clouds in the sky. Imagine that it rains. What will you do?
if condition result

Present Simple will + base verb

If it rains, I will stay at home.

Notice that we are thinking about a future condition. It is not raining yet. But
the sky is cloudy and you think that it could rain. We use the Present
Simple tense to talk about the possible future condition. We use will + base
verb to talk about the possible future result. The important thing about the
first conditional is that there is a real possibility that the condition will
happen.

Here are some more examples (do you remember the two basic structures:
[if condition result] and [result if condition]?):

if condition result

Present Simple will + base verb

If I see Mary, I will tell her.

If Tara is free tomorrow, he will invite her.


If they do not pass their exam, their teacher will be sad.

If it rains tomorrow, will you stay at home?

If it rains tomorrow, what will you do?

result if condition

will + base verb Present Simple

I will tell Mary if I see her.

He will invite Tara if she is free tomorrow.

Their teacher will be sad if they do not pass their exam.

Will you stay at home if it rains tomorrow?

What will you do if it rains tomorrow?


Second Conditional
for unreal possibility

If I won the lottery, I would buy a car.

The second conditional is like the first conditional. We are still thinking
about the future. We are thinking about a particular condition in the future,
and the result of this condition. But there is not a real possibility that this
condition will happen. For example, you do not have a lottery ticket. Is it
possible to win? No! No lottery ticket, no win! But maybe you will buy a
lottery ticket in the future. So you can think about winning in the future, like
a dream. It's not very real, but it's still possible.

if condition result

Past Simple would + base verb

If I won the I would buy a car.


lottery,

Notice that we are thinking about a future condition. We use the Past
Simple tense to talk about the future condition. We use would + base verb
to talk about the future result. The important thing about the second
conditional is that there is an unreal possibility that the condition will
happen.

Look at these example sentences:

if condition result
Past Simple would + base verb

If I married Mary, I would be happy.

If Ram became rich, she would marry him.

If it snowed next would you be surprised?


July,

If it snowed next what would you do?


July,

result if condition

would + base verb Past Simple

I would be happy if I married Mary.

She would marry Ram if he became rich.

Would you be surprised if it snowed next July?


What would you do if it snowed next July?

Third Conditional
for no possibility

If I had won the lottery, I would have bought a car.

The first conditional and second conditionals talk about the future. With the
third conditional we talk about the past. We talk about a condition in the
past that did not happen. That is why there is no possibility for this
condition. The third conditional is also like a dream, but with no possibility
of the dream coming true.

Last week you bought a lottery ticket. But you did not win. :-(

if condition result

Past Perfect would have + past participle

If I had won the lottery, I would have bought a car.

Notice that we are thinking about an impossible past condition. You did not
win the lottery. So the condition was not true, and that particular condition
can never be true because it is finished. We use the Past Perfect tense to
talk about the impossible past condition. We use would have + past
participle to talk about the impossible past result. The important thing
about the third conditional is that both the condition and result are
impossible now.
