Focus: Grammar fix

When we ask someone to do something for us, we can describe this fact by using the verbs 'have' and 'get'. We can use these verbs both in an active form and in a passive form.

Our choice depends on whether we ask someone connected to us or an expert. Let's find out which form is better in each situation.

Watch the video lesson and do the exercises in the video.

It will help you understand the difference better if you create your own examples for each situation.

Focus: Dictation

Let's end the week with a dictation to see how well you hear the structures you've activated this week.

Follow these steps:

1. Download the ZIP file.
2. Listen to the complete Audio once without looking at the PDF transcript.
3. Start the Audio again.
4. Listen to each sentence two or three times, stop the recording, and write down the sentence.
5. Move on to the next sentence.
6. When you've written the whole text down, compare your script with the PDF transcript.

When you feel you have fully mastered the material in this lesson, take the quiz.

You need to get a minimum score of 80% in each quiz to receive your Certificate of Completion, so repeat the quiz until you score above 80%. You can take each quiz up to 10 times.

Congratulations on completing Week 10!

This week, you've worked on some challenging topics.

Don't expect to be able to use everything you've learnt about subject-verb agreement and the gerund correctly in your own speech or writing immediately.

With enough revision (focused listening) and exposure (relaxed listening), the correct forms will gradually find their way into your English. Be patient!
