    • To turn a sentence into Passive you have to make a new sentence in which the object of the verb becomes the new subject

    • Check the differences between these two tenses.

      When you use the Present Perfect Continuous the consequences of the action are present right now.

      Eg. A: You look terribly tired!

             B: Yes, I've been studying all night long.

      *Read pages 54, 55, 56, 57, 58 and 59 in your books and do the exercises. Let me know if you have doubts or problems.

    • Read this information about Present Perfect Continuous and do the exercises in your workbook unit 7.

    • In case you don't have them: the student's book and the workbook.

    • Study this chart and work on page 60. Let me know if you have doubts.

      *Expressing feeling and opinions:

      +positive: adore, be keen on (like), be crazy about, be fond of (like)

      -negative: loathe (hate), can't stand, can't bear

      .neutral: quite like, be not that keen on, don't mind

      On page 61 words to express AGREEMENT, SYMPATHY, PLEASURE and SURPRISE


    • When the active sentence has an indirect object and a direct object, you'd rather use the indirect object as the subject of the new sentence. That's grammatically more appropriate, though the other one is right anyway.

      Eg. He gave me a heart on one of his Instagram stories.

      Passive: *** I was given a heart in one of his Instagram stories.

      *A heart was given to me in one of his Instagram stories.
