ENGLISH LITERATURE XVIII

You may think that I´m completelly nuts uploading this image in conection to XVIII English Literature, but I'm not!

There are many things that you don't probably know about this particular period.

Authors fought popularity and they did it hard.

I want you to search info about two English authors  who fought their popularity during the XVIII century

These two authors are Samuel Richardson and Henry Fielding.

TASK:

Write a brief review about what you have discovered according to the conection between these two authors and the image I have uploaded.
 
The task is NOT MANDATORY
Do it ONLY if you are interested in discovering the story.

UNIT 7. REPORTED SPEECH

Nowadays we are used to live using our social media all the time. When we write in our whatsapp account, most of the time we are using direct speech.

But what about re-tweeting in your twitter or sharing in your facebook?

Imagine your life if you would have to retell everything you re-tweet or share nowadays.

That's indirect speech:


"Mary has bought a new dress,,,, she says it's amazing,,, but the colour doesn't fit her hair!" Laura said.

Can you tell me what has Laura said about her friend Mary?



You can have a look at these web sites BEFORE we deal with Reported Speech in class.

PASSIVE VOICE

When to use the Passive Voice

1. It is used when the person/thing performing the action is unimportant or unknown.
e.g. Our car was stolen last night.

2. It is used when it is obvious who/what is performing the action.
e.g. Cameron was sacked last week.

3. It is used to describe factual information, especially when describing a process.
e.g. The lasagna is baked in an oven for 35 minutes at 250 degrees Celsius.

4. It is used in news reports and to give instructions.
e.g. Five people were arrested at a nightclub last night.

While it is possible to use this structure in a large variety of tenses in English, it is not common to use the passive in Future Continuous, Present Perfect Continuous, Past Perfect Continuous or Future Perfect Continuous tenses.

Below there are examples of the passive in a range of verb tenses

The butter	is	kept here.	Present Simple
The window	was	broken.	Past Simple
The work	will be	done soon.	Future Simple
The bridge	is being	repaired.	Present Continuous
The cheese	was being	eaten by mice.	Past Continuous

Verbs with two objects

Some verbs that have two objects can make two different active sentences, and so two different passive sentences too:

Give

• Active: He gave me the book / He gave the book to me.

You can choose either of the two objects to be the subject of the passive sentence.

• Passive: I was given the book (by him)/ The book was given to me (by him).

Other verbs like this are: ask, offer, teach, tell, lend, promise, sell, throw.
