Jingle Bell Rock

Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells swing and jingle bells ring
Snowing and blowing up bushels of fun
Now the jingle hop has begun.
Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells chime in jingle bell time
Dancing and prancing in jingle bell square
In the frosty air.
What a bright time, it’s the right time
To rock the night away
Jingle bell time is a swell time
To go gliding in a one-horse sleigh
Giddy-up jingle horse, pick up your feet
Jingle around the clock
Mix and a-mingle in the jingling feet
That’s the jingle bell rock.
Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells swing and jingle bells ring
Snowing and blowing up bushels of fun
Now the jingle hop has begun.
Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells chime in jingle bell time
Dancing and prancing in jingle bell square
In the frosty air.
What a bright time, it’s the right time
To rock the night away
Jingle bell time is a swell time
To go gliding in a one-horse sleigh
Giddy-up jingle horse, pick up your feet
Jingle around the clock
Mix and a-mingle in the jingling feet
That’s the jingle bell,
That’s the jingle bell,
That’s the jingle bell rock.

THE PASSIVE VOICE

THE PASSIVE VOICE

Compare the two sentences:

                        Your little boy broke my kitchen window this morning.

                        That window was broken by your little boy.

            The first kind of sentence is called "active". The second kind of sentence is called "passive".

            Passive structures are used when we want to talk about an action, but we are not interested in saying who or what did it.

                        Those pyramids were built around 400 A.D.

                        Too many books have been written about the second world war.

            Passives are very common in scientific writing, and other kinds of expression where we are most interested in events and processes: in things that happen.

           

           

            PASSIVE VERB-FORMS

                        Passive verb-forms are made with:

                                   TO BE + PAST PARTICIPLE

Present simple:                       English is spoken here.

Present continuous:                The house is being painted.

Past simple:                            I wasn't invited, but I've come anyway.

Past continuous:                     I felt as if I was being watched.

Present perfect:                      Has Mary been told?

Past perfect:                           I knew why I had been chosen.

Future:                                               You'll be told in advance.

Future perfect:                       Everything will have been done by the 26th

Going to:                                            Who's going to be invited?

Modal structures:                   The house should be cleaned.  

                                               You might have been hurt.

                                                          

            PASSIVE: by + agent.

In sentences like:

            The trouble was caused by your mother

            the part of the sentence introduced by by is called the agent.

The agent is only expressed when it is important to say who or what something is done by. In most passive sentences, there is no agent.

            A new supermarket's just been opened.

            I'm always being asked for money.

            With is used when we talk about an instrument (tool, etc.) which helps the agent to do an action.

            He was shot (by a policeman) with a revolver.

            PASSIVE: verbs with two objects.

            Many verbs, such as give, send, show, lend, explain, invite,                                                            ask, tell, teach, pay, promise, offer.

can be followed by two objects, which usually refer to a person and a thing.

                        She gave her sister a book.

            When these verbs are used in the passive, there are two possibilities.

                        Her sister was given a book.

                        A book was given to her sister.

            Most often in such cases the person becomes the subject of the passive verb.

                        I've been sent a lot of information.

                        You were lent  ten thousand pounds last year.

                        We were shown all the different ways of making whisky.

THE PASSIVE VOICE.     from BBC NEWS EUROPE

Inaki Urdangarin is being investigated on allegations of corruption.

Inaki Urdangarin, the Duke of Palma, has not been formally charged but was forced to face a judge in February over claims that he misused millions of euros of public money - allegations he denies.

The boy was treated at a nearby hospital before being transferred .

His grandmother Queen Sofia is expected to pay a visit on Tuesday.

Under Spanish law, children under 14 are not allowed to use firearms and questions have been raised as to whether the boy's parents will be held legally responsible for the accident.

Conditional sentences. Grammar and exercises for 1º BACH.

CONDITIONAL SENTENCES

            Conditional sentences have two parts: the if-clause and the main clause. In the sentence

                                   If it rains I'll stay at home

"If it rains" is the if-clause, and "I'll stay at home" is the main clause.

            There are three kinds of conditional sentences.

Type 1: probable

            The verb in the if-clause is in the present tense; the verb in the main clause is in the future tense. It doesn't matter which comes first.

If he runs he'll get there in time.

You'll be ill if you eat all that.

            This type of sentence implies that the action in the if-clause is quite probable.

            Note that the meaning here is present of future.

Possible variations of the basic form

            If (present) - may/can/must/imperative/present

If your documents are in order you may leave at once.

If it stops snowing we can go out.

If you want to lose weight you must eat less bread.

If you want to lose weight eat less bread.

If you heat ice it turns to water.

Instead of if we can also use  unless.(=if not)

Ex. Unless you start a diet, you won´t be on top form.

-       If you don´t go to Madrid, you won´t be able to see The Prado Museum.

............................................................................................................................(unless)

If you use unless, the sentence must go in affirmative.

Type 2: improbable or unreal

            The verb in the if-clause is in the past tense; the verb in the main clause is in the conditional tense.

If I had a map I would lend it to you.

If he knew that it was dangerous he wouldn't come.

If I

            Type 2 refers to the present of future, and the past tense in the if-clause is not a true past but a subjunctive, which indicates unreality or improbability.         We don't expect the action in the if-clause to take place:

If I won a prize in a lottery I'd give up my job.

We also use the second conditional to give advice.

Ex. If I were you I wouldn´t do that

-       Give advice about the following matters:

- Dejar de fumar

            ..................................................................................................

- Leer más libros

            ..................................................................................................

- No llegar tarde

            ..................................................................................................

- Quedarme en casa

            ..................................................................................................

Possible variations of the basic form

            might or could may be used instead of would

If I knew her number I could ring her up.

If he had a degree he could get a job.

Type 3: impossible

            The verb in the if-clause is in the past perfect tense; the verb in the main clause is in the perfect conditional. The time is past and the condition cannot be possible because the action in the if-clause didn't happen.

If I had known that you were coming I would have met you at the airport. (but I didn't know, so I didn't come)

If you had spoken more slowly he would have understood you.

(but he didn't speak slowly)

Possible variations of the basic form

            could or might may be used instead of would

If Jim hadn't lent me the money I couldn't have bought the car.

If we had found him earlier we might have saved his life.
