Resumen e ideas relevantes de la clase digital
In today’s digital English class, we focused on two main topics: the use of «get» and «have» as causative verbs and a discussion on various types of crimes and related vocabulary.
Use of «get» and «have» as causative verbs:
- We learned that «get» and «have» can be used as causative verbs to indicate that someone causes something to happen, even if they don’t do it themselves.
- When using «have» in this context, it is typically followed by an object and «have + the past participle» of the action. For example, «I had my car repaired» means someone else repaired my car for me.
- On the other hand, «get» is followed by an object and «get + the past participle» of the action. For example, «I got my hair cut» means someone else cut my hair for me.
Crimes and related vocabulary:
- We explored various types of crimes, including burglary, theft, robbery, shoplifting, mugging, embezzlement, murder, vandalism, hooliganism, terrorism, kidnapping, hijacking, rape, arson, blackmail, fraud, smuggling, petty theft, drink-driving, drug peddling, manslaughter, forgery, baby/wife-battering, obscenity, bribery, and corruption.
- We also discussed verbs related to crime and punishment, such as to burgle, to shoplift, to rob, to mug, to embezzle, to vandalize, to kidnap, to hijack, to rape, to drink drive, to deal drugs, to commit arson, to kill/murder, to forge, to shoplift (again), to bribe, to dismiss a case, to suspend, and to find guilty.
By understanding the use of causative verbs and expanding our vocabulary related to crimes and punishment, we are better equipped to communicate effectively in English and discuss various real-world situations and scenarios.
