Future tense of “have to”

• The FUTURE PERFECT TENSE indicates that an action will have been completed (finished or "perfected") at some point in the future. This tense is formed with "will" plus "have" plus the past participle of the verb (which can be either regular or irregular in form): "I will have spent all my money by this time next year. I will have run successfully in three marathons if I can finish this one."

Singular PluralI will have walked we will have walkedyou will have walked you will have walkedhe/she/it will have walked they will have walked

Introduction the passive voice.

• Although the passive voice is less common than the active voice, there are several good reasons to sometimes use the passive. On this page we look at how to construct the passive voice and when and why to use it. (For a basic explanation of the difference between active and passive, please see voice.)

Examples.

Present simple passive.• It is mainly used to emphasize action rather than who does it. In

Spanish we have several forms of passive as shown in the example. In English we use the same structure in both cases.

• The tree is made of banknotes. Animals are sold in this shop.

Examples.

• Active : They have cleaned the clinic.Passive: The clinic has been cleaned by them.

Active : Thomas has written many books.Passive: Many books have been written by Thomas.

Active : Have the police caught the man?Passive: Has the man been caught by the police?

Active : UPS has delivered the letters.Passive: The letters have been delivered by UPS.

Past perfect tense + “ yet/alreadi”

• Already means that something happened earlier than we expected. With Present Perfect already usually goes after have or has and before the main verb.

Examples.

• - We've already had our breakfast.

• - When are you going to do your homework?• - But I've already done it!

• - Do you want a cup of coffee?• - No, thanks. I've already had one."

Quantifiers.

• In English grammar, a quantifier is a word (or phrase) which indicates the number or amount being referred to. It generally comes before the noun (or noun phrase). The chart below shows which type of noun goes with which quantifier. • However, note that some of the examples in the chart can take on

several different roles within a sentence. For example, 'any' can be used as a quantifier, a pronoun or an adverb:• any as a quantifier: Have you got any tomatoes?• any as a pronoun: I don't want any of you making a noise.• any as an adverb: Can't this car go any faster?

Examples.

Must/ might

• "Must" is most commonly used to express certainty. It can also be used to express necessity or strong recommendation, although native speakers prefer the more flexible form "have to." "Must not" can be used to prohibit actions, but this sounds very severe; speakers prefer to use softer modal verbs such as "should not" or "ought not" to dissuade rather than prohibit. • Examples:• This must be the right address! certainty• Students must pass an entrance examination to study at this school. necessity• You must take some medicine for that cough. strong recommendation• Jenny, you must not play in the street! prohibition

Might.

• "Might" is most commonly used to express possibility. It is also often used in conditional sentences. English speakers can also use "might" to make suggestions or requests, although this is less common in American English.• Examples:• Your purse might be in the living room. possibility• If I didn't have to work, I might go with you. conditional• You might visit the botanical gardens during your visit. suggestion• Might I borrow your pen? request

Past simple of “can”

• The verb form can in Simple Past Could and is the same for all people. As it is a modal verb, the negative form does not specify the verb to do but is formed simply by adding not, that is not contracted.

Execice.

Reported speech.

• Indirect speech, unlike the direct style, do not use the quotes and need not be verbatim. In general, when indirect speech is used, the tense changes. Here you have an explanation of the changes they undergo tenses.

Sometimes "that" is used in the affirmative and negative to introduce what the other person has said phrases. On the other hand, interrogative sentences can be used "if" or "whether".

Note: Also consider that expressions change over time speech. Notice the change of time in the examples below, and then find a table with more explanations of the changes of time in speech.

Examples.

Verbs.• Can.• "Can" is one of the most commonly used modal verbs in English. It can be

used to express ability or opportunity, to request or offer permission, and to show possibility or impossibility.• Examples:• I can ride a horse. ability • We can stay with my brother when we are in Paris. opportunity • She cannot stay out after 10 PM. permission• Can you hand me the stapler? request • Any child can grow up to be president. possibility

Mustn´t• "Must" is most commonly used to express certainty. It can also be used to

express necessity or strong recommendation, although native speakers prefer the more flexible form "have to." "Must not" can be used to prohibit actions, but this sounds very severe; speakers prefer to use softer modal verbs such as "should not" or "ought not" to dissuade rather than prohibit. • Examples:• This must be the right address! certainty• Students must pass an entrance examination to study at this school. necessity• You must take some medicine for that cough. strong recommendation• Jenny, you must not play in the street! prohibition

Have to
