Glad you like them! And you are very welcome 😀
Happy New Year Jenna!!!
Thank you for being so kind to read my content this is my first part and you have already answered my second part 💪.
In causative we have sentences like
Get
Active - I will get someone to do this work ( means persuing or convincing someone to do something)
Passive - someone will be persuaded or convinced to do this work . ( I don't know about passive. is my passive correct or if not then what is .
Have
Active - I'll have my assistant take
a look .
Passive - my assistant will be asked to take a look .
{ I don't know whether my passive sentences are correct if not let me know the correct ones }
Get + someone/ something + v3
Active - I will get it done .( Means I'm not going to do the someone else for me )
Passive - it will be done .
Have +someone/ something +v3
Active - I'll have it completed.( I'm not going to do the work some else for me )
Passive - it will be completed
Have + some one / something + v3 and
Get someone / something + v3
Both have the same meaning but "get" is informal and " have" is formal
If you don't explain _in for a treat_ then you are in for a treat XD
lol, great answer! I should add "be in for a treat" to my list of upcoming videos.
Thank you so much❤
You're welcome 😊
It happened quite a few times to me that my car broke down in the middle of nowhere and it's such a pain in the neck
It has happened to me, too, and you're right, it's a pain in the neck!
so which one would you prefer to use for unfortunate situations
A. Have or get + something/ someone+ v3
B. Get + v3 ( informal passive)
I was born and raise in the noisy and crowded city area. That's why I want to go to the place where in the middle of nowhere.
Great job using this expression! You can say "I want to go to a place that's in the middle of nowhere" ☺
It is fun that in the Russian language we have just the same phrase.
I wonder if we have got it from English?
Maybe! Or maybe it's just a coincidence. In Portuguese, they say "in the middle of nothing" which is similar but not the same.
@@LearnAcademicEnglish in spanish also applies _en la mitad de la nada_ not very often you hear it but the idea is understandable
It is very constructive for me who is English as a second language.
Glad you found it helpful!
I've been learning a lot from your great videos. Thank you so much. May I ask you a question? Am I supposed to receive a confirmation mail after I subscribed to your mailing list?
I've tried already with two different email addresses,but I haven't received anything. I read "you subscribed ! " on the screen, but I'm not sure if I'm really are.
Thanks for your comment! It sounds like you are subscribed to my email list. I will be sending something out in the next 1-2 weeks, so stay tuned. Let me know if you don't get anything.
@@LearnAcademicEnglish Thank you so much for your response. I'll wait for your email. I'm also interested in taking your summary course,if it's available. I'm in Japan, so I'm not sure if it's possible timewise. I've already watched your " How to write summary"video, and I'd love to learn more.
I live out in the boonies! I’m pretty sure this one is slang 😅
lol, good one! It is very informal.
Hi Jen,
I tried to find the link below, but could not see it. Please help
Hello! What link are you looking for?
Hello teacher I'm your new subscriber my friend recommended to me your channel.
I have a little query
In causative we have sentences like
Get
Active - I will get someone to do this work ( means persuing or convincing someone to do something)
Passive - someone will be persuaded or convinced to do this work . ( I don't know about passive. is my passive correct or if not then what is .
Have
Active - I'll have my assistant take
a look .
Passive - my assistant will be asked to take a look .
{ I don't know whether my passive sentences are correct if not let me know the correct ones }
Get + someone/ something + v3
Active - I will get it done .( Means I'm not going to do the someone else for me )
Passive - it will be done .
Have +someone/ something +v3
Active - I'll have it completed.( I'm not going to do the work some else for me )
Passive - it will be completed
Have + some one / something + v3 and
Get someone / something + v3
Both have the same meaning but "get" is informal and " have" is formal

For an unfortunate situation what do we use
You are gonna get yourself killed
Or
You are gonna be killed
Since I know get is used but which get
Get + v3 ( informal passive form )
Get + someone/ something+v3
( causative verbs )
Which get would you prefer indicating for an unfortunate situation ?
Thank you
I have sent video links to many learners And they find it essential.
To answer this question: "For an unfortunate situation what do we use
You are gonna get yourself killed
Or
You are gonna be killed"
These have a different meaning! So which one to use depends on the situation. "You are going to get yourself killed" means that you are going to do something that will result in your being killed. You have some responsibility. For example, if you are a prisoner and you want to escape, but you are being too noisy, someone could say, "You're going to get yourself killed."
"You are gonna be killed" just means that someone will kill you.
I hope that helps.
@@LearnAcademicEnglish so which one would you prefer to use for unfortunate situations
A. Have or get + something/ someone+ v3
B. Get + v3 ( informal passive)
@@PHANTOM__EDITZ get would be more common in that situation
