Adverb Clauses with Time

When

When He was talking on the phone when I arrived.
When she called, he had already eaten lunch.
I washed the dishes when my daughter fell asleep.
We'll go to lunch when you come to visit.
He was talking on the phone when I arrived.
When she called, he had already eaten lunch.
I washed the dishes when my daughter fell asleep.
We'll go to lunch when you come to visit.

'When' means 'at that moment, at that time, etc.'. Notice the different tenses used in relationship to the clause beginning with when. It is important to remember that 'when' takes either the simple past OR the present - the dependent clause changes tense in relation to the 'when' clause.

Before
We will finish before he arrives.
She (had) left before I telephoned.

'Before' means 'before that moment'. It is important to remember that 'before' takes either the simple past OR the present.

After
We will finish after he comes.
She ate after I (had) left.

'After' means 'after that moment'. It is important to remember that 'after' takes the present for future events and the past OR past perfect for past events.


While, as
She began cooking while I was finishing my homework.
As I was finishing my homework, she began cooking.

'While' and 'as' mean 'during that time'. 'While' and 'as' are both usually used with the past continuous because the meaning of 'during that time' which indicates an action in progess.
By the time By the time he finished, I had cooked dinner.
We will have finished our homework by the time they arrive.
By the time he finished, I had cooked dinner.
We will have finished our homework by the time they arrive.

'By the time' expresses the idea that one event has been completed before another. It is important to notice the use of the past perfect for past events and future perfect for future events in the main clause. This is because of the idea of something happening up to another point in time.

Until, till
We waited until he finished his homework.
I'll wait till you finish.

'Until' and 'till' express 'up to that time'. We use either the simple present or simple past with 'until' and 'till'. 'Till' is usually only used in spoken English.

Since
I have played tennis since I was a young boy.
They have worked here since 1987.

'Since' means 'from that time'. We use the present perfect (continuous) with 'since'. 'Since' can also be used with a specific point in time.

As soon as
He will let us know as soon as he decides (or as soon as he has decided).
As soon as I hear from Tom, I will give you a telephone call.

'As soon as' means 'when something happens - immediately afterwards'. 'As soon as' is very similar to 'when' it emphasizes that the event will occur immediately after the other. We usually use the simple present for future events, although present perfect can also be used.

Whenever, every time
Whenever he comes, we go to have lunch at "Dick's".
We take a hike every time he visits.

'Whenever' and 'every time' mean 'each time something happens'. We use the simple present (or the simple past in the past) because 'whenever' and 'every time' express habitual action.

The first, second, third, fourth etc., next, last time
The first time I went to New York, I was intimidated by the city.
I saw Jack the last time I went to San Francisco.
The second time I played tennis, I began to have fun.

The first, second, third, fourth etc., next, last time means 'that specific time'. We can use these forms to be more specific about which time of a number of times something happened.

'have' and 'have got'

 differences between 'have' and 'have got' can be confusing for beginners. Here is a guide for the two forms. 


Remember these important points:

'Have' and 'Have got' are used for possession.

Example: Jack has got a beautiful house. OR Jack has a beautiful house.

Only 'have' is used when talking about actions.

Example: I usually have breakfast at 8 o'clock. NOT I usually have got breakfast at 8 o'clock.

The question form for 'have' follows regular present simple:

Example: Do you have a fast car? NOT Have you a fast car?

'Have' and 'Have got' are only used in the present simple. Use 'have' for the past simple or future forms.

Example: She had a copy of that book.

There is no contracted form for 'Have' in the positive form. The contracted form is used for 'have got'

Example: I have a red bicycle. OR I've got a red bicycle. NOT I've a red bicycle.


Here is a grammar chart showing the construction of the two forms:


Positive I, You, We, They HAVE GOT
Subject + have + got + objects
They have got a new car. Contracted: They've got a new car.

Natalie Maria Cole



Natalie Maria Cole (born February 6, 1950), is an American singer, songwriter and performer. The daughter of jazz legend Nat King Cole, Cole rode to musical success in the mid-1970s as an R&B artist with the hits "This Will Be (An Everlasting Love)", "Inseparable" and "Our Love". After a period of failing sales and performances due to a heavy drug addiction, Cole reemerged as a pop artist with the 1987 album, Everlasting, and her cover of Bruce Springsteen's "Pink Cadillac". In the 1990s, she re-recorded standards by her father, resulting in her biggest success, Unforgettable... with Love, which sold over seven million copies and also won Cole numerous Grammy Awards.
Nathaniel Adams Coles

(March 17, 1919 – February 15, 1965),

known professionally as Nat King Cole, was an American musician who first came to prominence as a leading jazz pianist. He owes most of his popular musical fame to his soft baritone voice, which he used to perform in big band and jazz genres. He was one of the first black Americans to host a television variety show, and has maintained worldwide popularity since his death.
Use of Passive

Passive voice is used when the focus is on the action. It is not important or not known, however, who or what is performing the action.

Example: My bike was stolen.

In the example above, the focus is on the fact that my bike was stolen. I do not know, however, who did it.

Sometimes a statement in passive is more polite than active voice, as the following example shows:

Example: A mistake was made.

In this case, I focus on the fact that a mistake was made, but I do not blame anyone (e.g. You have made a mistake.).
Form of Passive

Subject + finite form of to be + Past Participle (3rd column of irregular verbs)

Example: A letter was written.

When rewriting active sentences in passive voice, note the following:
the object of the active sentence becomes the subject of the passive sentence
the finite form of the verb is changed (to be + past participle)
the subject of the active sentence becomes the object of the passive sentence (or is dropped)

Megalopolis (shenzhen)

The meaning of Megalopolis: an extensive metropolitan area or a long chain of continuous metropolitan areas.I was surprised by this reading in our text book.The reading was about the city of shenzhen near Hong Kong. For a moment I was thinking of my home town, Bonao, with its growing population and new enterprises that are being set recently. Maybe if we were more patriotic and our worthiest people invest here instead of abroad,Bonao would be another shenzhen.

How to make comparisons in English

There are some rules to help you make comparisons in English.

1 If the adjective (describing word) is one syllable, you can add -er.

For example, small – smaller; big – bigger; nice – nicer.

2 If the adjective has two syllables, but ends in -y, you can change the end to -ier.

For example, lucky – luckier; happy – happier.

3 With other English adjectives of two syllables and more, you can't change their endings. Instead, you should use more + adjective.

For example, handsome – more handsome; beautiful – more beautiful and so on.

4 When you compare two things, use 'than'.

"She's younger than me."
"This exercise is more difficult than the last one."

5 When you want to say something is similar, use 'as – as'.

For example, "She's as tall as her brother" or "It's as nice today as it was yesterday."

6 When you want to say one thing is less than another, you can either use 'less than' or 'not as – as'.

For example, "This program is less interesting than I thought" or "This program is not as interesting as I thought."

7 Remember that some adjectives are irregular and change form when you make comparisons.

For example, good – better; bad – worse; far – further.

Inmigration to the USA

Immigration to the United States has been a major source of population growth and cultural change throughout much of the history of the United States. The economic, social, and political aspects of immigration have caused controversy regarding ethnicity, economic benefits, jobs for non-immigrants, settlement patterns, impact on upward social mobility, crime, and voting behavior. As of 2006, the United States accepts more legal immigrants as permanent residents than all other countries in the world combined. Since the removal of ethnic quotas in immigration in 1965,the number of first- generation immigrants living in the United States has quadrupled, from 9.6 million in 1970 to about 38 million in 2007. 1,046,539 persons were naturalized as U.S. citizens in 2008. The leading emigrating countries to the United States were Mexico, India, the Philippines, and China. Nearly 14 million immigrants came to the United States from 2000 to 2010.

James Bond

James Bond, code name 007, is a fictional character created in 1953 by writer Ian Fleming, who featured him in twelve novels and two short story collections. There have been six other authors who wrote authorised Bond novels or novelizations after Fleming's death in 1964: Kingsley Amis, Christopher Wood, John Gardner, Raymond Benson, Sebastian Faulks and Jeffery Deaver. Additionally, Charlie Higson wrote a series on a young James Bond and Kate Westbrook wrote three novels based on the diaries of a recurring series character, Moneypenny.

A SONG THAT I WROTE AND I WANT TO SHARE




THE LYRICS

the time has come
to see you face to face
I don't know if i can look into your eyes
and tell you what i feel
I don't know what to say
if I were standing front of you
tearing down my convictions
would I offend you or kiss you
trembling, grumbling some words
only you understand
hesitating I'm getting close to your lips
and you re looking daggers at me
the time has come to see my pain back
my pain has your face
my pain has your body
your wonderful smile
my pain has your tender voice
your unique way of kissing
and also your way o lying
as you're getting close to me
I'm dying again
I'm in love again

(repeat all)

About my best friend Jesus




Everybody hear about Jesuchrist. He is son of God , the all powerful and the best friend that you can have. When He was heer in the world he did a lot of miracles : resurrection of dead, healing for the sick and feeding for a lot of people.
In the BIBLE He say us many wise abvices.They help us to reflect on our daily life.
The thing I like best from him is his mercy and his loyalty. He loves me though sometime i forget him.
He died for me and for you at the cross. for that reason there is no greater love than this.










My pets

I have two pretty birds as pets. They are white-and-Grey pigeons. Their home is a shady tree in the garden where they are free to fly from branch to branch. Yet they are safe from the cat as the whole tree is inside a wire enclosure. I have nailed a wooden box on the tree. This is their 'nest' where they sleep at night and where they find shelter whenever it rains.

Hillsong United-photoMy favorite musical group is Hillsong United, is an Australian Christian rock and worship band. They started as the youth ministry band from Hillsong Church in Australia. Their music is praise and worship with a contemporary style that is a mix of contemporary Christian music and mainstream rock. The band was formerly named "United Live" and was led by Reuben Morgan and Marty Sampson. United Live made its first album on 1999 when worship pastor, Darlene Zschech suggested to Reuben that they make an album. (This has been mentioned by Reuben in the United We Stand DVD in the documentary section) Following the advice, Reuben and Marty led the team to make their very first album, Everyday. From there they made 3 more albums with Reuben. They changed the band name from "United Live" to Hillsong United after Reuben's departure in 2002. Joel Houston, the son of the church's senior pastor, replaced Reuben, and stepped up to lead the group together with Marty.

Hillsong is one of the most popular group in the christian musical in the worl.I love their songs because They have a beautiful inspiration in it.


These are my favorites songs in my list: How great is our Lord, He is mighty to save, One way, Here I am to worshy and others.

Unit:5 Get Passive Vs Be Passive

The get-passive
The verb get is sometimes used as an auxiliary in place of be in passive sentences. The verb string for a sentence like:
My bicycle got stolen is past + get + en + steal



Compare
My bicycle was stolen with past + be + en + steal



The get-passive is normally fairly informal and more likely to occur in casual conversation and informal sorts of writing than in formal writing. It is often used in agentless passives.

Like be, get also functions as a linking verb. You can distinguish sentences with get as linking verb from sentences with get-passives by considering the verb string.



Note that this sentence has an active counterpart:

The long hike tired Sam out.

Compare with get as linking verb:



Note that this sentence can also be paraphrased by another sentence with a linking verb:

Sam became tired.The get-passive
