LESSON 2
 Use of English:
-to have something done

When talking about these shops/services w

e say we go there “to do something” or tha
t we go there “to get something done”.

What’s the difference???

 Example
• I go to the shoe store to buy running shoes.

• I go to the shoe store to have my feet measure

d for running shoes.
• The difference is…

• You doing it yourself…

– I go to the shoe store to buy running shoes.
Vs.
• Someone doing it for you…
– I go to the shoe store to have my feet measured f
or running shoes.
-to have something done
have object Past participle

• I have my hair cut at the barber’s opposit

e the bank. Past participle???

• A form of a verb that functions

as an adjective or an adverb.

EXAMPLE: Boiled potato

• “Boiled” is the past participle

of the verb boil. And in this
phrase boiled acts like an
adjective!

TOWN OR COUNTRY
 Town or country?
• Which words and phrases do you think of when you l
ook at the photos on this page?
 Use of English:
-the second conditional

We can use if clauses to describe imaginary situations.

Clause 1 Clause 2
If + past tense would

• If I lived in the country, I’d ride my bike to school.

You can change the order of the clauses like this:

• I’d ride my bike to school if I lived in the country.

Remember that I’d is the short form of I would.

You make questions and short answers like this:

• Would I like to live in the country If I had the change?

• I would and I wouldn’t.
