ºº"Woul rather" and "Would prefer"ºº




Hello clasmates!!!
We are Geovanny and Yuliana
Today we go to explain a little about of Would rather and Would prefer
these two phrases mean preference but the diference between these is that
the verb that follows "Would rather" go in infinitive without "to".
instead the verb that follows "Would prefer" can be go follows of an verb in infinitive whit "to" or "ing".

Here is presented the structure that should have our prayers when we use "Would rather"
Affirmative
Subject+Would rather+Infinitive
Example: I would rather be happy than be beautiful
 Negative
Subject+Would rather+Not+Infinitive
Exaple: I Would not do my homework 
Interrogative
Would+Subject+Rather+Infinitive
Example: Would you rather have coffee or tea?


Here is presented the structure that should have our prayers when we use "Would prefer"
Affirmative: Subject+Would prefer+Infinitive
Negative:Subject+Would prefer+Not+infinitive
Interrogative:Would+Subject+Prefer+Infinitive

Examples
Affirmative:I would prefer flying to cancun that talking the bus.
Negative: He would prefer not to go by train.

*Passive Voice*


Hello guys!!!! this is my homework and I regret the delay.....
Passive Voice
What is Passive Voice?
R= is the action of the verb in the object.
What is Active Voice?
R= is the action of the verb in the subject.
Example:
Active ----> I teach English
Passive ---> English is taught
The color red is the Subject
The color green is the Verb
The color blue is the Object
The color orange used to be
The color brown is the Verb in the Past Participle
In short the Passive Voice is when the subject lost importance.
When we want write sentences using the "Present Perfect", "Present Continuous", "Past Simple", "Present Simple" and "Future", we need to know the basic structures:
"Present Perfect"---->have/has been
"Present Continuous"--->am/are/is being
"Past Simple"---->was/were
"Present Simple"---->is/am/are
"Future" ----> will be / is going to be
For example:
Present Perfect:
Structure: have/has been + Verb (Past Participle)
Sentence:
Active---> I have taught English here for a long time.
Passive---> English has been taught here for a long time.
Present Continuous:
Structure: am/are/is being + Verb-ing
Sentence:
Active---> I am teachin English.
Passive---> English is being taught.
Past Simple:
Structure: was/were
Sentence:
Active---> I wrote a letter.
Passive---> The letter was written.
Present Simple:
Structure: is/am/are
Sentence:
Active---> I write a e-mail.
Passive---> The e-mail is written.
Future:
Structure: will be
Sentence:
Active---> I will write a letter.
Passive---> The letter will be written.
Future:
Structure: is going to be
Sentence:
Active---> I'm going to write a letter.
Passive---> The letter is going to be written.

MEATtheFACTS.org

Good morning!

I just wanted to share with you the source of the information from yesterday's class.

The website is called MEATtheFACTS.org. The pages I printed out yesterday are from the Urgency category. You can see that page by clicking here.

The name of the website is interesting because meat sounds the same as meet. These two words (meat and meet), have the same pronunciation but different spelling and different meaning. In linguistic terms, this word pair are homophones and are used to create a clever pun.

Try a Google Video search for those two words and see what you find.

Feel free to leave a comment with your thoughts.
