Time Details

Step. 115:00-15:30

The teacher Magdalena Ullauri provides a review about the last topic and began to talk about the new one "VERBS WITH TWO OBJECTS"

The teacher begins to ask us about what do we know about this topic.

After that, the teacher begins to explain the topic.There are verbs which are possible to use two objects. These are give, lend, promise, send and show.

Step. 215:30-16:30

The teacher gives us some examples with these verbs.For example:

I gave a prize to me. Gave Susan a prize. Send me a letter.

The teacher explains the following:

If there are two objects in a sentence, the normal word order is:

person → thing

Example:

I must give my sister a book.

I gave Mandy the letter.

I gave her the letter.

If the thing is a pronoun, it is put behind the verb. For

example:

I must give it to her.

When verbs are followed by two objects, the first object (the indirect object) is usually a person or a group of people and the second object (the direct object) is usually a thing:

He lent me his pen.

If we want to reverse the order and place the direct object first, then the indirect object has to be converted into a phrase beginning with either to or for:

He lent his pen to me.

The teacher explains about:Direct object Indrirect object

GRAMMAR VI

I t is the word that recieves directly the action of the verb.

It is the word that recieves indirectly the action of the verb

The indirect object can be in distint position of the direct object.

THE USE OF TO IN THIS THENSE

If we want to emphasize the person, we put the

person after the thing. Then we use the preposition to.

For example:

I was sent a letter to Juan.

Using the words describe, explain, report and say – we

always put the person after the thing. Then we use the

preposition to. For example:

I explain this rule to you.

Step.3. 16:30-17:00

The teacher gives us some examples:In passive voice we pretend that the indirect object will be the subject.Others examples:

1. Active Voice: Mary gave the students the book.

Passive Voice: The students were given the books by Mary.2. Active Voice: My boyfriend sent me a message.

Passive Voice: I was sent a message by my boyfriend.3. Active Voice: John lent a new car to my sister.

Passive Voice: My sister was lent a new car by John.4. Active Voice: I give a wonderful gift to my mom.

Passive Voice: My mom is given a wonderful gift by me.

Finally, the teacher says that:BY WITH PASSIVES

We use by only to emphasize the person who do that.Some authors establish the passive voice with by and without by.
