CONDITIONALS What are conditionals in English grammar? Sometimes we call them 'if clauses' . They describe the result of something that might happen (in the present or future) or might have happened but didn't (in the past) . They are made using different English verb tenses. Conditional sentences have TWO clauses. 1. C onditional clause: (sometimes called an if - clause ). The conditional clause usually begins with if or unless.

What's the difference? Present Perfect Simple and Present Perfect Continuous We use both of these tenses for finished and unfinished actions. The present perfect simple can be used (often with 'since' and 'for') to talk about unfinished actions that started in the past and are still true in the present. It's often used with stative verbs: I' ve known John for three years. The present perfect continuous can also be used (often with 'since' and 'for') to talk about unfinished actions that started in the past and are still true in the present. (Of course, we don't use the present perfect continuous with STATIVE VERBS): She's been living here for three years. Sometimes there's really no difference in meaning between the two tenses. This is especially the case with verbs such as 'live', 'work' and 'study': They've lived in London since 2004. They've been living in London since 2004. I've studied

UNIT 7 TOPIC 1: SUBJECT QUESTIONS Subject questions are questions we ask when we want information about the subject of something. The subject of a sentence is the person or thing that performs the action. Who works in a bank? Mary . ¿ Quién trabaja en un banco? Mary. La estructura de las subject questions en inglés Las subject questions se utilizan para saber quién o qué realiza la acción, es decir, formulamos preguntas sobre el sujeto de una oración. Este tipo de preguntas siguen la estructura siguiente: Question word + verbo principal + (complementos) ? Tomaremos de referencia la misma frase anterior: En este caso solo podemos formular una subject question : Who bought this nice mug in Ireland? TOPIC 2: OBJECT QUESTIONS Most questions in English are object questions – we want to know about the receiver of the action. These questions follow the QUASM formula: Question word – Auxiliary verb – Subject – Main verb - question mark? What do you want to drink?
