Good evening everyone. We are going to start today with unit 7 and 8, hypothetical, meaning and relative clauses. So we start in page 89 with the structure I wish. I think the structure I wish, we can explain it in different ways. One way is just to think about if plus simple pass to express, for example, a desire. I wish the travel package included. So you express a desire or I wish we had a better weather. So this is a desire. Then normally when we use I wish with conditional, with a conditional simple, we express a complaint. This is the most simple way. Then you've got more explanations in the book Conditional simple, then you stress a complaint Normally when someone is doing something repeatedly. I Wish you will stop talking Because you are not going to stop so you complain about something And Well, I wish you will stop making that noise. I wish to stop smoking but simple past but Mainly conditional simple to stress a complaint. Okay, and the final one with the past perfect This is the regret Past perfect So you said I wish I had studied harder allow me to be at mass or I wish They haven't gone to the party so this is impossible. This is similar to the conditional sentence I wish, plus past perfect, impossible situations, so a regret, when you regret something. Any questions about Paitis 89 and 90, or it's clear? I mean that's the most important thing about I wish. Then you can also use if only, but sometimes it has got the same meaning, but they say well it's used when your feelings are stronger. If only, but it's more or less the same. I wish, if only, you can use this to express a wish, a desire, a regret, the same, with simple past, conditional simple, or past perfect. And then in Paitis 91 you've got as well the word regret, as a verb, lamentarse. So there are some differences between using I regret not having studied harder, or I regret to inform you. So there is a difference between regret plus the gerund, and regret plus infinitive with two. So, normally at the airport I regret to inform you that the flights are delayed, the flights are delayed, this is a real situation. But when you say the gerund, I regret not having studied harder, you can use it as a regret, something that is impossible because it's in the past. Or I regret I didn't study harder for my test, it's also possible. So you can use it plus the gerund, plus infinity with two, or plus a sentence. I regret that is also possible to use I regret that. Then in page 92 is time or is high time. ¿Ya es hora de qué? ¿Ya va siendo hora de qué? ¿Ya es hora de qué? It's about time. Time is high time. So you could use it's fine, it's high time, it's about time to say yes or no, that something happens. And then in page 92 as well, hay que pagar. We use hay que pagar. To say prefer, preferiria, ojalá, so you can also use I'd rather you didn't pay so much money on that project, I'd rather preferiria I'd rather is the abbreviation of I would rather, preferiria, I would rather you didn't spend or would you rather we travel by boat I'd rather the school started later, preferiria, all of them But you can also use I'd rather plus the past perfect, if you want to say something that happened in the past But it's also a regret, I'd rather you hadn't said that, ojalá no hubiera situación So more or less when you use the past perfect is because you regret the situation But it's impossible to go back, it's already done And well, I'd rather plus infinity without two To talk about infinity To talk about our preferences or other people's preferences in the present or in the future I'd rather go to San Sebastián than, so this rather is like a comparative So you have to use than, not that, or two I'd rather have fish than meat, for example, imagine that you have to compare, you have to say that you prefer fish So, I'd rather have fish than meat, so you should use than with I'd rather Suppose, again, suppose, this is like an imperative, supposing that, suppose that, suppose someone, so you can omit that in this suppose And suppose she knew something that is just imagination, or which is not going to happen in the future Suppose she knew, imagine that she knew, so she doesn't know, this is not likely to happen Or the past perfect, something that could have happened but didn't in the past, could have happened Suppose we had an study, imagine, suppose that we hadn't studied But didn't in the past, could have happened But you studied, so you're supposing, or you're thinking about something that could or couldn't have happened But it did, so that's the difference suppose present, suppose past simple, suppose past perfect. It's all the time the same with I wish, if only, you can use different verb tenses. Well, the difference between I'd rather and you'd better. Well, you'd better normally is an advice or a suggestion for someone. You'd better go to the doctor, you'd better eat more fish or you'd better whatever. I'd rather go to a restaurant, this is a wish. You'd better finish your homework, this is an advice, a piece of advice or a suggestion. So, I'd rather, I would rather, you'd better, you had better. So, this is the abbreviation of you had better, you'd better. And you can also use I'd better, when you are thinking about yourself, I'd better go, será mejor que me vaya. I'd better, you'd better or he'd better. So, we can use the same expression in different persons, different pronouns. Any questions about Paisies, 1991? 92, 93 and then you have some exercises to practice the different meanings of I wish, if it is a complaint, a wish a regret, so you can use the different tenses this is a regret, I wasn't able to make it to the party, so if it is a regret you can use the past perfect I wish I have been able to make it to the party sorry I wasn't able to make it to the party, so you couldn't arrange or you couldn't plan your film, so you couldn't go to the party. So, you regret that you couldn't go to the party, so you say, I wish I had been able to make it to the party. I have. I have been able. I wish I had been able to make it. We are in page 94, exercise 2, sentence 3. Okay? Any other questions about any exercises or... The answer is here. In page 159 in the solution they put I wish I was able to make it to the party. No, because then This means that you still can go to the party and it's a desire. So this should be a mistake. I look for that. Yes, I think it's a mistake because this is a regret. Sorry I wasn't able to make it to the party. So I couldn't plan or I couldn't arrange my things in order to go to the party. So it was impossible for you to go. I don't understand the solution. You regret. So this is a regret. Or I regret not being able or not having been able to make it to the party. I regret not having been able to make it to the party. Having been able as well. To express a regret. Being able to make it to the party. And another question? 96. It's a 6-4. And sentence 8. Sorry, 4. I suppose... Suppose we leave. Do you think anyone would mind? Well, we can use the present simple. So you mean that you are still there. Imagine that it's a meeting for example. So you can tell your partner or your brother or your sister or someone. Suppose we leave. Do you think anyone would mind? Imagínate que nos vamos. So if it is real that you can go but you are still at the meeting, you can say in the present simple. Suppose we leave. Left, the simple past. Suppose we left. Do you think anyone would mind? With suppose, we could talk in the present. And well, it could be okay. In the simple past, you express that it's just imagination or unlikely to happen. Suppose we left. But you are not going to do it. You are not thinking about leaving But you can tell suppose we left do you think anyone will mind but you are not going to leave so it could be possible So if you say suppose we leave Suppose we leave so this is possible. You can go and you can leave the meeting or the party But if you are not thinking about leaving you can say suppose we left Imagine that we are not leaving but we are not going to leave But do you think anyone will mind? But it's possible grammatically it's possible and in the Ansaki is the present or the simple past? The present simple But with the past simple it could be ok And there was a mistake in number 3 because I have to go here I have to rather stay But I think in the Ansaki in sentence 3 it says stayed with "-ed". Right? I'd rather stay. I'd rather stay with infinitive without 2. I'd rather stay. Number 3 I'd rather stay as rather infinitive. I don't understand. Hello! Okay, any more questions? In this stage, in this exercise, the eight subjects, suppose you get the job, surely that will put your dad in a good mood. Suppose you get the job. Well, this is possible, so you can get the job, so you use the present symbol. So I think the difference between suppose plus the present symbol and the past symbol is that if you use the present, it is possible. It can be real. But if you say in the simple past, suppose you got the job, but you are not going to get it. And so it says something that is just imagination or which is unlikely to happen in the future. Improbably. But it depends on the situation. So it depends. Suppose we I don't know, you can just think about a situation that you are not going to do, but you can say imagine if we... Any other things? Any questions about exercises? No? Okay, so we continue with unit number 8, the relative clauses. Well, again in this grammatical explanation of the relative clauses, when we talk about relative clauses, normally, in most grammars, they talk about defining and non-defining relative clauses. So, defining in Spanish, especificativas, non-defining explicativas. They are talking about restrictive or non-restrictive, it's the same, it doesn't matter how you call them, but it is the same. So, normally, when we are talking about restrictive or defining relative clauses, all of them... ... have got a reference, un antecedente, a reference, because the relative pronoun... always refers to a person or an object, a place, a time, so they brought a reference. And normally the relative clause can't be omitted because it doesn't give extra information, it's just the information about someone or about an object. The tourist I met yesterday is not other tourists, it's the tourist I met yesterday. So you are talking about someone specific, this is a restrictive relative clause or defining. You are defining exactly the person you want to talk about. But in non-defining or non-restrictive relative clauses we add extra information, you can omit the information, it's always between commas and you can't omit the relative pronoun. Normally there are four things. For example, characteristics of non-defining. They are between commas, they add extra information, The relative pronoun can't be omitted And another important thing, we can't use that the relative pronoun that So these are the four characteristics of the relative clauses, non-defining relative clauses So there is a difference In a defining relative clause, you can use all the different relatives You can use that They are not between commas And you can't omit the information in the relative clause This is not extra information You are using a defining relative clause to specify or to talk about someone specific And then they give us another kind or another type of relative clauses The three relative clauses they have not had now, not in an antecedente Well, these are normally In normal grammars, in ordinary grammars we've got the pronoun what or what. Sometimes we've got whatever or the others they are talking about in page... let me see... In page 102 they give us whatever, whichever, cualquier cosa que, or what, lo que, or the thing which, or anything which. So for example a very typical one is what, lo que. So lo que hasn't got a head noun, not in antecedente because it doesn't refer to something before. So the relative case is this. Relative pronouns always refer to something or someone before them, el antecedente. But what doesn't refer to something that we have mentioned before? It's the contrary. It refers to something we are going to talk about. So for example, tell me what you want. Tell me what you want. Dime lo que quieres. So it hasn't got something that we have mentioned before. Dime lo que quieres, lo que tú quieres. So it doesn't have any head noun or a person or an object. Or you should return what you have finished reading to the hotel library. You should return, debes devolver lo que has cogido de la biblioteca. You should return what you have taken. You should return, it hasn't got nothing, we haven't mentioned anything, what you have taken, lo que has cogido. So they are referring to something after, not before. So you can see what or whatever or whichever. Cualquier cosa que or whichever is the same. And these are the so-called free resolutions. Free relative clauses. But in ordinary grammar they don't appear as free relative clauses. Aparecen con relativos... something different, they don't talk about free relative clauses. Any questions about any of these things? Another important thing perhaps in page 101, sometimes we've got a different kind of relative clause using which. When read doesn't refer to an object or to something specific, but to the whole sentence, to the whole situation. For example, he couldn't read, which surprised me, él no podía leer, lo cual me sorprendió, so which surprised me, and that's a very good way of expressing a situation or you can talk about anything in your compositions, for example, in your writing. And you can say something, Madrid is a very beautiful town, which is nice for tourists. No Madrid, but the thing that is a beautiful town. Perhaps this is not a good example, but you can talk about a situation and then with which you mention everything, you refer to all the situations. I don't know if you need any other... Well, the omission of the relative pronoun, when you can omit the relative pronoun perhaps. Well, whose can't be omitted because it has got a lot of meaning, possession, and that can't be omitted in non-defining sentences. But normally you can omit the relative pronoun if the sentence has got a subject, if the sentence, if the relative clause has got its own subject. Do you understand the omission of the man? ... We've got the subject of the sentence, we've got the relative, the subject of the second sentence. And in this case, the relative pronoun can be omitted because the function of this relative pronoun is not subject, it's an object. El hombre que yo conocía ayer. So, you can omit the relative pronoun. The man I met yesterday. And normally, an English person will omit the relative pronoun if it is possible to omit it. So, whenever you can omit it, you do it. In written language, well, perhaps it's a bit more formal if you use the relative pronoun. But in oral English, they will always omit the relative pronoun. Well, there was something that one person, one student in the forum was asking about this word, preposition or this expression, preposition stranding, in page 100. This preposition stranding, movimiento de la preposición. I think it's very well explained here, in page 100 The table under which the boy crawled The table which the boy crawled under The table that the boy crawled under But it is impossible to use the preposition before that Under that is not possible But 8, 9 and 10 all of them are ok Perhaps under which is the most formal And when you move the preposition and you write the preposition at the end This is more informal But people use it a lot Under which the boy crawled under Or the book we talked about The book that we talked about Or the person who we talked about The table that the boy crawled under It is very common to see the prepositions at the end right I don't know if we need to explain anything then you've got some sentences to do and well in pages 106 and 107 we've got different tests for you to fill in the gaps with different words and you can just have a look at the vocabulary and remember that last week or two weeks ago we're having an exam and some doubts with a gap filling exercise and Susana told me that in the book in page 107 the test appeared and it was there so it was remember in page 108 in the last paragraph checking out we were talking about with one person there Marianne and I think she was talking about checking on or we were talking about if it was checking out or checking on well in the original test is checking out But she was showing that in a dictionary checking on was also evaluating So probably both options were ok, but in the original test it was checking out So probably the teachers in the exam would say that checking out was the correct one because it was the original test But not because it's ungrammatical or the meaning is not right So you should look at the tests in the book because probably they could take one of the texts for the exam Any other things about... No, two questions about meaning In page 104, beginning in 14 number 14 I know the very person, what's the idea of this text? The very person I know the very person Who will do? Who will do quickly? I know the right person the very person I think it's ok I know the very person it sounds ok to me as I know the right person to do this job he will do the job quickly I know the very person normally if you are thinking about for example someone very hard working or you are thinking about someone patient that you need someone patient for a job and someone tells you I know the very person the very patient person I think this is the meaning this is the meaning for example in 13 at a price they are talking about some meanings the problem today is to build houses at a price economical houses cheap houses at a price or in some areas of Britain unemployment is a part of life it's things of life it's an act of life to be in the job it's an act of life it's a real action in life so they are talking about different expressions Page 106, at the end, in the text it says An individual-centered service Social... in the last... A social network service Social network service usually means An individual-centered service Social network service usually means An individual-centered service, not group-centered But the idea of centered Individual-centered service Centrado en el individuo Individual-centered You could also spell it like this But it's the same Group-centered or individual-centered This is in learner-centred methodology, when we are talking about teaching languages, for example, this is like a trend, una poniente, learner-centred methodology, centrada en el alumno, so individualizada o en grupo, group-centred or individual-centred service. More things? Ok, so let's look at the text at the back. We've got women, travel groups and tools. This was in page 186. Test number 1 was ok, and we're going to read it. Susana, can you start reading test number 1? Ok. Some of the best tools available in the world. Some of the best tools available today are those which offer the intimacy of small specialising groups. Women looking for travel companions with similar interests. often find that taking a trip with a group of women is more fun and less stressful. For women, lists range from high-speed group adventures to relaxing scenic vacation getaways to life-changing cultural-immersion travel experiences. Personalizing small groups' tours to the top world destinations including Greece, France, Italy, Ireland, Egypt, South Africa, Brazil, Croatia, Portugal and Argentina. All trips should be custom tailored to offer unique sights and experiences at every destination. The main goal is to provide a one-of-a-kind travel experience while meeting new and lasting friends. For example, women can be invited to gather for retreats and replenishment on an island in the tranquil Turquoise Blue Waters of the Mexican Caribbean, historically a place for women. healing rituals among the Mayan people. Participants will stay at intimate informal hotels on the beach, where landscaped trails, tropical gardens and the beauty of the ocean will provide a perfect abode for the retreat or a perfect place to practice ballet. Okay, so we've got some words for example. Well, first, how to pronounce the plural? Women. This is a short E. Women in the plural. Women. In the plural. Right. So, let's see. For example, stressful. Estresante. The tools for women listed range from listed, como en una lista, So they are going to give a list of a range of different kind of vacations for women. High speed group adventures, to relaxing, scenic vacation, getaways, escapadas. Life changing cultural immersion travel experiences, personalize, etc. Well, this is important in tourism. Custom tailored. Sorry? Okay, that's perfect. I was trying to explain in English. Oh, sorry. That's perfect. Custom tailored. Tailored sastre comes from customer. So someone who is just ready and prepared for special kind of people or tourists in this case. So they offer. They offer unique sites, únicos at every destination, in todos los destinos. The main goal, goal, objective, aim is to provide one of a kind, one of a kind, a unique destination. Unique, magnificent, wonderful, travel experience, one of a kind, no hay otra, una de un tipo, so unique, while a la vez que meeting new and lasting friends, long lasting, forever friends, lasting friends. Women can be invited to gather, to meet, to get together, to gather, for retreat. To retreat is to get away from the stressful or stressing life, so to be quiet and to be far away from the city, from the noises, etc. Replenishment, it's like a refreshment, so replenishment. Recargar las pilas, it's a refreshment. An island in the tranquil, tranquil, turquoise blue waters of the Mexican Caribbean, historically a place for healing rituals. to heal, to cure, to do some treatment, so to heal. Healing rituals. Healing is an objective in this case. Healing rituals among the Mayan people. Participants will stay intimate in Formajol Tenerife where landscape trails. Trails are paths, paths, caninos, but landscape with a beautiful landscape, so beautiful paths to walk or to travel. Tropical gardens and the beauty of the ocean will provide, will give a perfect abode, a perfect place for the retreat or a perfect place to practice Wole. So retreat, a special place just to get away from the noises, the city, the stress in life. Any questions? Any questions about vocabulary? No? Okay. Then we continue with the other test, handling complaints. this is a diagram or flowchart talking about how to deal with complaints but there was a mistake in the title because both titles were wrong handling handle is manejar to deal with manejar algo handle so the gerund is handling it's not handling so in the test in your I thought oh I missed one test 188 well we will do it next week fit to test I didn't scan page 188 okay so we'll do today page 190 and next week I will do fit to test okay so in this test handling complaints there was a mistake in the title because both titles were wrong handling was a mistake in both titles right so supposedly there was one test that was correct but the title is wrong in both of them because it's handling this is the genuine it's not handling okay so you've got a flow chart with the different things you can do if the complaint is made to a member of a staff what you have to do you have to write comments you have to send letters etc i don't know if you have any questions about this flow chart well there is a difference between the complain and complaint the noun with t okay and the complain complain but complaint is the noun more information gathered by the museum more information gathered collected different sources staff, the people who are working there. Any other things? No? Okay. So now let's go to the exam. We had to correct an exam. It was June exam, the first week. This one. It says what are Italian men like? Is it different? So let's see. Are you ready to start with the exam? Yes? Okay, so number one. Let's see. What are Italian men like? Do you remember that I told you one day about this expression, to be like? What are Italian men like? ¿Cómo son los italianos? What are to be like? I think it was in one of your compositions, Susana, but well, the expression, como es una persona, physical appearance, so to be like. So, what are Italian men like? And is it different, what do you think? In this one. A? No. To be. Is it different to be a woman here compared with in Britain? Different to be. Is it different to be or it is easy to write? It is perfect to be. Adjetivo más infinitivo con tú. It is expensive. It is expensive to buy a car. Or it is good to listen to music while you are traveling. So, it's the same. It is different to be. Number two. United haven't won a football match all year. They are going to finish. Here you can see, Like physical evidence that this is going to happen because they haven't won a football match all year So probably probably very probably they are going to finish last in the league. So it is physical evidence. We're going to Have a date with Sandra No, I'm meeting. Okay. I am meeting because there is a difference between an intention I'm going to meet and I am meeting I Am meeting but remember with the future this is from the in our book I don't remember the number of the unit, but it was about the future chances and When we are talking about plans for the near future We set time you use the present continuous. I'm going to has got like two different options one possibility Physical evidence that something is going to happen. For example This United they're not going to or they are going to be last in the league if they haven't won any match. And the other possibility we're going to is talking about intention, but you don't know if it's going to happen or not. Next year I'm going to study law, for example, but you don't know if you are going to do it or not. It's an intention. I'm going to travel to Paris this summer, but if you have already bought the tickets, you will use the present continuous. If you haven't, I'm going to buy. So that's the difference between A and B. The plans with the time, present continuous. We always recommend people to read our brochure before booking a course. Recommend people to read. Number five, you do it better. Será mejor que. You do it better. You have better. You're better as your brother. Number six, they shouldn't well decide to move. They may, they may, may not, no be, they may well decide to move if he gets a new job. Puede que decidan bien, que decidan. Well, perhaps it's not necessary to translate it exactly, ellos pueden bien decidir, trasladarse. Puede que decidan, may well decide. Well, I don't know how to translate it in Spanish, but they, it is possible that they decide to move if he gets a new job. So they probably, they are going to move, so they may. Seven, I'm sure, dye de nirce el pelo. Have dyed her hair. It used to be much darker. Era mucho más oscuro. So, I'm sure. So, I'm sure. Hay que probar esto en febrero. Hay que probar esto en febrero. So, it's rather impossible. So, it's rather impossible. Eight, if you, if you, they need your address. Eight, if you, they need your address. I'll send you the book. Second conditional. So you see. 9. 8. I used to hate taking food, but I am getting used to eat. So, 8. 10. B. They are both drawing. 11. Have you ever had to... No. Put out a fire. Put out. Apagad un fogo, put out a fire. Where were your children? Mother asks. A. Where the children have been. The simple past is transformed into the past perfect. 13. I've joined the gym. I want to lose weight and get fit. Because they are linked with and, they should be in the same tense. Get fit. And also, well, get phone is not okay. Skinny is very, very thin and negative. And thinner, it should have a double name. Get fit. Fourteen, ensure she hasn't left the office. She? Can't. She can't have left the office. No puede haberse ido. Can't. And finally? Fifteen? Eight. During the summer we travel around seven European countries. Okay. So we continue a little bit with the test. Okay? This is a very complicated test because it's very technical. So, Isabel, can you read it please? Yes, but it is not for high speed transmission of electrical power. ASCII is a 7-bit code and EDICI is an 8-bit code. The codes represent digital technology has a number of advantages, in cutting high-end hot-boils, in making text-on-designs, day. A network structure known as integrated self-digital network is then facilitates the disaspects. Okay, well the test as I told you is very complicated but in fact you don't need to understand the whole test to do the exercises because it's a different exercise. It's not a comprehension exercise but just a grammatical exercise, right? So well, we start with the first sentence. Analog transmission has been in use for many years. So which one is the correct one? The analog transmission has been using, no, ha sido usando no, ha sido usando is not possible. Ha sido usando or ha estado usando. We have used analog transmission for many years. It's si. Llevamos usando durante muchos años. In the past and in the present. This is the present perfect that starts in the past and continues in the present. Okay, 17 is not so suitable for high speed transmission. B. It is not so applicable for high-speed transmission. A number of different codes exist. D. There are different codes. 19. It is for this reason that data transmissions are becoming digital today. A. This explains why data transmissions are becoming digital today. 20. A network structure known as ISDN facilitates these aspects. C. A network structure called ISDN facilitates these aspects. The test was complicated because the topic is horrible, but the exercise was not so difficult. I think this exam wasn't very difficult. I don't know if they are going to do the same for students who are in Diplomatura, but probably they will use more or less the same kind of exam. So, this was quite easy. Okay, any questions over there? No? So, for next week, I think I haven't made copies for you, but you can just download the exams. For next week, we will do the exam that is here, Lengua Inglés Atres Junio, but the second week. Okay, so you can download it from here. So, if you want, we can start for five minutes, or you can start for a little bit. So, we can do the first five questions, for example. So, can you have a look at the first five questions, and we will collect it now, in a minute. Are you finished? Only five. And we finish for today. Okay, so the first one. Maribel, what do you think? A. Brand new. Okay, Marianne, it's okay. A brand new thing is something very new. A estrenar. Brand is la etiqueta de la marca. Brand new. So, it's just new. Number two? B. Okay, cut down on. So, stop smoking or stop eating too much. Number three? A. Not to forget. Not to forget. Okay. He remind me not to forget the keys. So, this is an infinitive. So, if you want to do the negative, not to forget. Number four? D. Would have passed. Okay, this is right. D. It's okay. Would have passed. This is the third conditional. And number five? To go. I don't know. Let's see. A. Okay. This is A. Because this is the meaning of the phrasal verbs. I mean, if you look for in the dictionary, the meaning of the verb take up is to progress, to advance in something. Normally, you took up when you are learning a language, for example, you are learning more vocabulary, so you take up, you progress, you make some advances. That's the point. Well, took off, desplegar. Take over, a veces recuperarse, adelantar, take over. Okay, that's the meaning of the phrasal verbs. So, you have to revise the different phrasal verbs. The ones that appear in the book. If they appear in the book. Because probably these verbs will be somewhere in the book. I think. Okay, so we finish for today. And next week we'll continue with the two units. I think it's here. Homework for next week. Yes, units 9 and 10 and then we will cover the exam in class
