 This post of my blog is related to the last one, in the last one we talked about reading for pleasure, in this space I will talk about how I learned to ask about an article, this helps us to believe in grammar and vocabulary. as an introduction, 2 people having a conversation about someone asking about an article: Starting with the conversation we can practice a little, and understand a little more of the vocabulary, a part that comes out of the conversation are the questions, and within them you must follow certain rules, in this case the grammatical part, Noun clauses: Embedded questions; This is more or less what you should understand and comprehend when formulating questions, understand that every particle, however small, matters in your successful communication.  Following the theme of reading and books, we found that there are some habits when reading such as: 

Reading for pleasure

  This unit and its lessons are related to pieces of paper with letters under a cover that tell a story, books, some are just that, but for many others, they are a delight for the mind, take some cookies or snacks, coffee or tea, and sit under the window to dive into that world. Reading for pleasure is not something that many people do, but there is a rainbow of colors for every taste.  In this unit I learned how to classify these books, according to the story they carry, their genre, these may be:  We can describe a book by how we refer to it, the expressions we use, like these:               Likes:                                                                                                                 Dislikes:  - I can't get enough of them                                                                                             -  Can't get into it  - Can't put it down

The last class was very productive, we finished several lessons and were even able to do the unit quiz. In the topics we addressed, we found the qualities of service, learning to identify the different services and how to refer to them and even being customers we could learn how we can be better providers of a service.  This is what I meant by the different services and how to use them. is also part of our vocabulary class  Speaking of vocabulary, with my friend Sara I made a video at the request of the teacher, making a small conversation, using structures learned in past classes and recent vocabulary, a plus point is that we could put ourselves for seconds in the shoes of the wonderful people who provide us with many of these vital services.  

The passive causative

The causative passive is more interested in who the action is on than who is doing the action. It uses a form of have + an object and a past participle. we can see an example of its use and structure, and to make it a little clearer an example of the difference between liabilities and assets.                                   Object          Past participle they plan to have     The office     painted next week. (They’ll have someone paint them.) Can she have             her X-rays    sent this morning? (Can she have someone send them?) In the vocabulary part, I learned a little more about the services provided by people with whom we live almost every day and hardly notice, we should thank them so much for their services!
