Make or Do?
      - use make when you talk about something you create
                e.g.       she made a cake for me
                             he makes birdhouses

      - when we use DO, we talk about an action ypu do, not mention by name; mostly mental work. mostly refered to the topic.
              e.g.        I do my homework every day
                           I need to do this project at work
Present perfect + yet/already/just.
     - Just: the action happened in a short time ago
     - Already: the action happened before you expected
     - Yet: until now (negative)
            e.g.          Are you hungry? - No, I've just had dinner
                           What time is Bill coming?- He's already arrived
                           Is Tony here?- No, he hasn't arrived yet.

Order of adjectives: 
 - Determiner - Opinion - Size - Height/Lenght - Shape/Weight - Color - Material
       e.g.    they're fantastic orenge leather shoes.

  - We use the expresion USED TO to talk about things that were  true in the past, but are not true in the present.
      e.g      I used to play videogames all day
                We used to go to the park on the weekend

  - We use DIDN'T USE TO to talk about things that weren't true in the past but are probably true in the present.
     e.g.     I didn't use to work full time
                  (but now I probably do)

So/Too-------------------------------------------------------------Either/Neither
   - We use SO,TOO, EITHER and NEITHER to express similarity; to show that we agree with the other person's opinio on something.
      e.g.      I love chocolate:     Me too                   I don't like opinion:    Me neither
                                                So do I                                                    Neither do I
                                                I do too                                                   I don't either

UNIT 3: BUYING POWER

The vs No article

The: use before nouns of wich there is only one. Before a noun wich has become definite as a result of being mentioned a second time. Before names of seas, rivers. chains mountains, groups of islands and plural names of countries. Before instruments.
  e.g.    "We saw a good film last nigth, it was the film you recomended"
           "The erth is round"

No Article: we don't use an article when we talk about plural nouns when we are talking generally.
    e.g.   "Dogs are very intelligent animals"
            "Companies spend lots of money in advertising"

Indirect Questions: we use indirect questions when we want to make more polite questions. They have an opening phrase before the main question. indirect question do not follow the question word order.
      Do you know?              Could you tell me?
    Can you tell me?            Do you have any idea?

For YES/NO questions, include IF/weither after the opening phrase.

  e.g.  Where can I buy a good computer?
             Could you tell me where I can buy a good computer?
   
        Are there any internet cofe's around here?
             Do you know if there are any internet cofe's around here?

       How much did she pay for the TV?
            Do you have any idea how much she paid for the TV?


UNIT 4:  TAKING CARE OF BUSINESS

 Compound Nouns: words can be combined to for compound nouns. these are very common, and new combinations are invented almost daily. Normally the second Part identifies the object, the first part tell us what kind of objects or person it is.

  e.g     What type/purpose?           What?/Who?                        
            police                                  man                                =  Policeman
            boy                                    friend                               = Boyfriend
           water                                  tank                                 = Watertank
           dining                                  table                                = Diningtable
           bed                                     room                               = Bedroom

One word or two words?: there are not clear rules about this- so write the comon compounds that you know well as one word, and the others as two words.

  e.g.       Noun+Noun                Noun+Verb                      Verb+Noun
               bedroom                      raintall                              washing mashine
               watertank                     haircut                              driving license
               motorcycle                   hairdo                              swimming pool


Have/Get   something done: this construction is passive in meaning. it descrives situations where we want someone else to do something for us (as a favor, or as a service we pay for)

                         HAVE/GET + object that revive the action + Past participle
   e.g.      I must GET/HAVE my hair cut
              When are you going to GET that window replaed?
              We are HAVING the house painted

To Get somebody To Do something: the expresion "to have somebody do something" is used to talk about activities performed by a specific subject.

            HAVE + :) + do + object                                      GET + :) + to do + object 
e.g.
 I will HAVE Mike repair my car                              I must GET my dad to buy me a computer
 My father HAD M.r. Johnson paint                          We need TO GET the teacher                                                                                                                 to give us a good grade


UNIT 5

Reprted speech:  when we report someone's words we can do it in two ways. We can use direct speech with quolation marks ("i work in a bak") or we can use reported speech ("he said he worked in a bank").
In reported speech the tenses word-order and pronouns may be different those in the original sentence.

SENCES:  

Why is each important sense?

It’s very important to each of the human senses as we supplement besides that each has its qualities, senses allow us to achieve access to the entire planet and we can hear the sounds, textures can touch, smell different scents and know the different flavors also observe the great things in nature.

If you had to choose, what sense would you eliminate?

Smell.

Why?

is very difficult to make a particular decision since we are so used to our senses that it would be difficult to adapt to only 4 of them, so I decided that smell as the smell only serves to smell different odors and analyze, for me the other 4 senses are very important because if you cannot see or feel you cannot live as a person, listening is also very important but there are signs or language for the deaf. All the senses are very important if we take advantage of them.
