EF34 11am June17

 

 

Good morning, everybody.

We will get started at 11:00.

Cameras on. Mics muted.

 

 

 

Today’s agenda:

 

·      Replacement test

·      Causative verbs

·      “Grandparent’s Day” I emailed this to you a few minutes ago. Check your email.

 

**

Replacement test:

You will have an opportunity to do a replacement test on Monday. This will be exactly the same deal as the replacement quiz that we did last month.

If you have a test that are not happy with, you can replace the mark with this mark.

 

Test#1 4/6

Test#2 3.7/6

Test#3 5/6

Test#4 3/6 4/6 2/6

 

You can choose to replace one of these marks.

 

Replacement test 4/6

Replacement test 2/6

 

If you are reasonably satisfied with your test marks, then just leave them as they are. This replacement test is people who had a bad test, had a bad day, missed the test, etc.

 

Email me by 1PM Friday, tomorrow if you want to do a replacement test. No lates.

 

SUBJECT LINE: Name, Class, Time, Replacement test

Causative verbs – very useful verb form

 

A causative verb makes another verb happen.

e.g. help

My sister helped me to clean up the garage.

I will help you to fix the bicycle.

 

help, allow, invite, require, hire, encourage, tell, ask + infinitive ‘to ABC’

e.g

-allow to ABC

I allow my daughter to take care of her own money.

-invite

Jaswinder invites us to come to her house today.

-require

This course requires you to work hard.

-hire

I hired somebody to clean my house.

-encourage

I always encourage my students to use English outside of class.

-tell

-ask

I asked my son to cook supper for us today.

 

 

help, make, let + infinitive – ‘to

I help my son fix the bicycle.

I make my dog sit.

He lets his coworker borrow his truck.

 

‘help’ can be used both ways

need / require

-need – person

I need you to sit down, please.

-require – institution, not a person

The job requires you to work weekends.

Immigrating to Canada requires you to live in the country for two years.

 

 

Two groups of causative verbs:
