Passive - Present/Past simple

Passive voice is used when the focus is on the action; it's not important or not known who or what is performing the action:

. We use an active verb when we say "what the subject does"
                       My father built this house the last year.
  We use a passive verb when we say "what happens to the subject"
                       This house was built the last year.


. When we use passive, who or what causes the action is often unknown or unimportant.
                     Active:     Somebody stole my bike.
                     Passive:   My bike was stolen.


. Present Simple: 
                   Active:  clean(s), see(s),watch(es)......
                               Somebody cleans this room every day.
                   Passive:  am/is/are + cleaned /seen/ watched......
                                                     ( past participle (regular verbs+ed
                                                       irregular verbs 3rd column))
                              This room is cleaned every day.
                              I'm not often invited to parties.
                              
. Past simple:

                  Active:  cleaned, saw, watched......
                               Somebody cleaned this room yesterday.
                   Passive:  was/were + cleaned /seen/watched......
                                                     ( past participle (regular verbs+ed
                                                       irregular verbs 3rd column))
                              This room was cleaned yesterday.
                              When I was fifteen, I wasn't invited to parties.

Phrasal verbs - What did you do last Saturday?

The following text contains 10 highlighted phrasal verbs. Your task is to match them to the correct definitions.

On Saturdays I always have to get up early for work but last Saturday I woke up late, around 9am and then got up 30 minutes later.

The first thing I did is switch on the coffee maker. No instant coffee for me today! I took the time to make some good coffee. While that's getting ready, I quickly threw on some clothes and picked up a newspaper from the local shop.

With my coffee and paper, I spent the rest of the morning on the sofa. I turned off my phone for a couple of hours so no one called me.

Later in the day, I liked to hang out with friends over lunch and catched up with their news and gossip. It's always nice to drive out to the countryside for a pub-lunch in a quiet English pub.

In the evening I stayed in and watched some TV or, depending what's on, I checked out a film in the cinema.

All in all, that's my idea of a good day!

•   1 - to start the energy flow of something:
• 2 - to spend time with friends relaxing:
• 3 - to open your eyes after sleeping/to stop sleeping:
• 4 - to to quickly put on (wear) something:
• 5 - to find out the latest information:
• 6 - to physically get out of bed so you are not lying down:
• 7 - to stay inside your home and not go outside:
• 8 - to go and buy something (cheap):
• 9 - to look at/watch/investigate
• 10 - to stop something's power supply:

Phrasal verbs

A phrasal verb is a verb followed by an adverb. Phrasal verbs are part of a large group of verbs called "multi-word verbs". Multi-word verbs are very common, especially in spoken English. There are three types of multi-word verbs: prepositional verbs, phrasal verbs and phrasal-prepositional verbs. But for convenience many people refer to all multi-word verbs as phrasal verbs.
The meaning is different of the principal verb, for this reason it is important to study them using examples to understand the meaning.

PRONUNTIATION THIRD PERSON PRESENT SIMPLE

Although the morphological suffix for third person singular verbs in the simple present tense is -s or -es, the suffix is pronounced differently depending on the sound of the last syllable of the verb.

If the last syllable of the verb is a voiceless sound, then the suffix is pronounced as an unvoiced s [s]. Voiceless sounds are produced by not vibrating the larynx, or voice box, in the throat. The voiceless, or unvoiced, sounds in English are:

• p, pe [p]
• t, tt, te [t]
• k, ck, ke [k]
• f, gh [f]
• th [θ]
• h [h]
• y [j]

For example:

• breaks [breks]
• counts [kaunts]
• drinks [driŋks]
• hopes [hops]
• likes [laiks]
• sits [sIts]

If the last syllable of the verb is a voiced sound, then the suffix is pronounced as a voiced z [z]. Voiced sounds are produced by vibrating the larynx, or voice box, in the throat. The voiced sounds in English are:

• m, me [m]
• n, ne [n]
• ng [ŋ]
• b, be [b]
• d, de [d]
• g, ge [g]
• v, ve [v]
• th [ð]
• w [w]
• r, re [r]
• l, ll, le [l]
• all the vowels

For example:

• calls [kalz]
• destroys [distroiz]
• gives [gIvz]
• moans [monz]
• sobs [sabz]
• tries [traiz]

If the last syllable of the verb is a sibilant sound, then the suffix is pronounced /iz/

For example:

• watches
• kisses

MAKING SUGGESTIONS

Read the following text; then write about your city and make suggestions about food in your city.

My name is Julian. I'm from Madrid. In Madrid there is a lot of good food you should try.

For breakfast, you should have “porras” or "churros" with chocolate. “Porras” are like “churros” but longer and wider.

For lunch you should have “cocido madrileño”. It's very typical in Madrid.

For lunch or dinner, you should try “tapas” like “patatas bravas”, “boquerones fritos”, “patatas ali-oli”, “callos a la madrileña” and of course a calamari sandwich. You should also try “boquerones en vinagre”. They are delicious.

For a sweet treat, you should try “rosquillas del Santo” but just on 15th May. I love them, they are really good.
