Inversions
This document discusses various types of inversion in English grammar:
1) Question inversion, which changes the word order in questions.
2) Subject-auxiliary inversion, which changes the normal subject-verb word order, as in "Along the street came a strange individual."
3) Inversion after negative adverbials, which occurs when negative time expressions like "never" are at the beginning of a clause for emphasis.
4) Inversion can also follow "so" or "such" when used with the verb "be", or after conjunctions like "as", "so", "neither", and "nor" to echo statements.
Emphatic form
The document discusses the emphatic form of verbs in English. It states that the emphatic form is used with the auxiliaries "do", "does", and "did" in the present and past tenses to give additional emphasis to the verb. It provides examples of the emphatic form being used to contradict a previous statement. However, the emphatic form is not used when these auxiliaries are used to form questions or mean "accomplish, carry out, etc.". The document concludes with examples practicing the emphatic form.
Inversion
Inversion is used in certain grammatical structures in English including questions, sentences beginning with negative time expressions or phrases containing "no/not", and expressions like "only after" or "only if" at the start of a sentence. It can also be used with words like "so" and "neither" to show agreement, after adjectives like "so strange" or "such", and in certain conditional sentences by dropping "if" and using an inverted form. When inversion is used, the verb comes before the subject.
Inversions In English
Inversion refers to an irregular verb placement form where the question form takes the place of the standard positive sentence structure. Some examples of inversion include using "not only do I enjoy classical music" instead of "I not only enjoy classical music". Inversion can also occur with negative adverbials like "never", "rarely", and expressions like "only then", "only after", "little", "so", "such", and in conditional forms by dropping "if" and using the inverted form instead.
Indefinite article
The document summarizes the use of indefinite articles "a" and "an" in the English language. It explains that "a" is used before consonant sounds while "an" is used before vowel sounds, with exceptions for words beginning with silent "h". It provides examples of when indefinite articles are used to refer to things for the first time, when specificity is not important, or when information is limited. The document also notes indefinite articles are used in definitions and referring to professions. It concludes with a practice exercise.
Subordinate sentences
Subordinate sentences: types, form and meaning. Relative, result, reason, purpose, time and concessive clauses.
Inversion
The document discusses inversion in English grammar. Inversion means putting the verb before the subject. It is commonly used in questions by moving the verb in front of the subject. There are also some other situations where inversion is used, including with negative adverb phrases at the beginning of sentences to add emphasis, in conditional sentences using "had" or "were", after adverbial phrases of place, and after expressions like "so...that". Inversion changes the typical subject-verb word order in a sentence for specific grammatical purposes or effects.
inversions 2
This document discusses different types of inversion in English grammar:
1. Inversion can occur after "so" or "such" adjectives when the main verb is "be", used for emphasis. It only occurs if "so"/"such" is the first word. Inversion is more common with "so" than "such".
2. Inversion is also used in conditional forms to sound more formal, replacing "if" with inverted verbs like "should", "were", "had".
3. Inversion can follow adverbial phrases of direction/place at the start of a sentence, particularly with verbs of movement/location like "climb", "come", "fly", etc

Inversion grammar and practice
The document discusses inversion, which is when the typical subject-verb word order is reversed in a sentence for emphasis. It specifically focuses on inversion that occurs after negative adverbials or adverb phrases at the beginning of a sentence. Some common adverbs and adverbial phrases that trigger inversion when placed first include seldom, rarely, little, nowhere, never, not until, and more. Examples of sentences with and without inversion are provided.
Inversion
We must invert the subject and verb in certain grammatical constructions in English:
1) In questions, with words like "so" expressing agreement, and with "should", "were", "had" in conditional clauses.
2) After adverbs or expressions like "seldom", "rarely", "only" at the start of a sentence.
3) With verbs of movement or place at the beginning, like "beyond the open fields stood...".
4) In direct speech when the subject of the introductory verb is a noun. Proper inversion is required in these specific cases.
Presentación1 brayan marroquin
This document provides information about reported speech and examples of how to change direct speech into reported speech. It discusses how reported speech does not use the speaker's exact words but rather reports what another person has said. It explains that the structure is a little different depending on whether you are transforming a statement, question, or request. Examples are provided of direct speech using quotation marks and how it would be changed to reported speech without quotation marks.
Gerunds2
A gerund is the continuous form of a verb ending in "-ing" that functions as a noun. Gerunds can serve several grammatical functions including as the subject, object, or complement of a verb or the object of a preposition. Only certain verbs take gerunds as their object or complement, such as "confess", "imagine", and "finish". Both gerunds and infinitives can be used after some verbs to convey the same meaning.
Wh Cleft Sentences
Wh-cleft sentences are used to emphasize specific information in a sentence by restructuring it with "what" or "why" clauses and a form of the verb "be". They can emphasize the subject, object, or entire sentence. What-cleft sentences rearrange elements of the original sentence around a "what" clause followed by a form of "be" plus the emphasized element. They-cleft sentences similarly emphasize reasons or other elements with "the reason why" or "the thing that" clauses.

[1] Jamaican Creole developed from the British sugar plantations in Jamaica, and significant immigration from Jamaica to London occurred in the 1950s. [2] Jamaican Creole has different pronouns, verb structures, negatives, and phonological features compared to Standard English. [3]
Inifinitive tarea
The document discusses the formation and use of verb infinitives in English. It explains that the infinitive is formed by adding "to" before the base verb form. Infinitives can be used after modal verbs or as part of the perfect or progressive tense. Certain verbs, like "want" and "tell", are followed by an infinitive with "to". The infinitive can serve different purposes including expressing obligation, purpose, or as the object or complement of a verb.
Talking about experiences and recent events
The document discusses the uses of the present perfect tense in English. It provides 4 main uses: 1) to talk about personal experiences, 2) to give news when the time is not specified, 3) to talk about repeated or ongoing actions, and 4) with the phrase "This is the first time...". It also provides examples of time expressions used with the present perfect tense like "for/since," "already," and "never." Lastly, it compares the present perfect tense to the past simple tense and discusses the difference between using "been" and "gone."

Inversion of order
This document discusses inversion in the English language. Inversion refers to changing the normal order of elements in a sentence. The most common example is seen in questions, where the subject and verb are inverted compared to a statement (e.g. "Is graffiti ugly?" instead of "Graffiti is ugly."). Inversion also occurs when negative adverbials like "rarely" or "never" come before the subject, requiring use of an auxiliary verb (e.g. "Rarely does Bob speak to himself."). Other instances discussed include inversion with temporal words like "only," "until," "hardly," and in conditional sentences.
imperatives
The document discusses the imperative form of verbs. The imperative is used to give commands and orders without a subject. Examples are given such as "Open your mouth" and "Walk to the corner." Although imperatives have no grammatical subject, the understood subject is "you." The form remains the same whether addressing one or more people. Imperatives can be used to give orders, instructions, advice, warnings, offers, or invitations. Negative imperatives use "do not" or "don't." The "let's" form includes the speaker.
Simple past
The document discusses the simple past tense in English. It describes four main uses of the simple past: 1) to express a completed action in a specific past time, 2) to list a series of completed past actions, 3) with a duration phrase to talk about a single long past action, and 4) to describe past habits. It also notes that "when clauses" refer to actions that occurred before the main clause. The simple past can be used in both active and passive voice.
Present Perfect
The document discusses the use of the present perfect tense in English. It can be used to describe experiences that have occurred at some point in the past but with no specific time mentioned. It can also describe changes that have taken place over a period of time or accomplishments. The present perfect tense implies an action that was expected but remains uncompleted or describes multiple actions that have occurred at different points in the past.

3. Guidance is provided on when to use each tense depending on whether actions happened consecutively or simultaneously in the past.
The passive voice
The document discusses the passive voice in English. The passive voice is used when the receiver of the action is more important than the subject, the subject performer is unknown or unimportant, or the subject performer is obvious and does not need mentioning. To form the passive voice, the verb "to be" is used along with the past participle of the main verb. When changing sentences from active to passive voice, the subject becomes the first complement and is placed after "by" at the end of the sentence.

Passive voice my first ppt
This document discusses the passive voice, including when and how it is used, how it is formed in different tenses, and examples of passive voice exercises. The passive voice is used when the action is more important than the doer of the action, when the doer is unknown, or to emphasize the recipient of the action. It is formed using a form of "to be" plus the past participle of the main verb. Tenses like the present simple, present continuous, past simple, and past continuous are discussed in their passive forms. Sample passive voice exercises are provided to rewrite sentences in the passive and find examples of passive constructions.

The Passive Voice
- 5. 4 . In informal language, we often use you,we, and they to refer to people in general or to no person in particular . In this way, we can avoid using the passive. Ex: They´re building a new department store We speak english in this store. 5. Be careful! Many past participles are used like adjectives. Ex: I´m very interested in modern art We were worried about you I´m exhausted ! I´ve been working all day.
- 6. PRESENT SIMPLE AND PRESENT CONTINUOUS PASSIVE The uses are the same in the passive and in the active. Ex: My car is serviced every six months(= fact that is always true) Sorry about the mess! The house is being painted at the moment( = activity is happening now).
