CUT 2 LESSON B CORRELATIVE CONJUCTIONS

LESSON B CORRELATIVE CONJUCTIONS

Las conjunciones correlativas funcionan en pares para correlacionar dos partes de una oración de igual importancia.

Las conjunciones correlativas a menudo conectan dos sujetos en singular con un verbo en singular, o dos sujetos en plural con un verbo en plural.

Aplican una relación entre dos sujetos o dos verbos que actúan  entre sí.

 Algunas  conjunciones correaltivas son las siguientes:

1.    Both/and: Using “both” and “and” implies a correlation between TWO subjects that are performing the same action. An example of using these correlative conjunctions is:

 “We will both  leave the party and take one car.”

2.    Either/or: Using “either” and “or” connects two positive statements of equal weight. For example, you could say:

“My brother is either working upstairs or slacking off downstairs.”

 

3.      Neither/nor: “Neither/nor” connects two negative statements of equal weight. For example, you could say:  “I will neither watch the show nor read the book.”

Neither/nor indicates a negative connotation, so be sure your main clause does not also contain a negative verb phrase on top of that. “I can’t neither see it nor hear it,” is not correct because “can’t” already provides a negative. The correct version would be: “I can neither see it nor hear it.”

Subject ‘verb agreement

Watch out – when using either or neither the verb agrees with the second subject, NOT the first:

       Either my brother or my mum look looks after our cat when we’re away on holiday.

       Either my brother or my parents looks look after our cat when we’re away on holiday.

       Neither the manager nor his assistant are is here today.

       Neither the manager nor his assistants is are here today.

CUT 2 LEESON A "embedded questions OR inderect questions "

 

Embedded questions or indirect questions.

they are formal or polite  question there are two important things to check with this topic.

We can say that they are question into another question 

for example 

pay attention to this examples 

Introductory question	Common question	Embedded question
Do you know	Where have they  been working  today?	Do you know where they have been working?
Can you tell me	When has she been looking for her dress?	Can you tell me when she has been looking for her dress?
Can you tell me	Why has she been turning up the music?	Can you tell me why she has been turning up the music?

Introductory statement

Common question

CONNECTOR

Embedded question

Let’s talk

Had she gotten up early that morning ?

IF   or WHETHER

Let’s talk IF  she had gotten up early that morning?

Do you remember

Has she been putting on that  old coat again?

WHETHER

Do you remember WHETHER she has been putting on that old coat again?

I wonder to know

 

Had the thieves thrown all that money to the river?

IF

I wonder to know if the thieves had thrown all that money to the river?

I don’t know

Have  we been studying this strange topic.

WHETHER

I don’t know WHETHER  we have been  studying this strange topic.

As you can see the order of the comon question is modified when it is necessary to use an embedded question.

they change the order into an affirmative statement  and of course it is used the introductory question 

there are others types of questions which  are identified like YES or No questions  and in this sitUation you have to add the connector   IF   or WHETHER and add the question but remember they must be written in affirmative form.

Introductory statement	Common question	CONNECTOR	Embedded question
Let’s talk	Had she gotten up early that morning ?	IF   or WHETHER	Let’s talk IF  she had gotten up early that morning
Do you remember	Has she been putting on that  old coat again?	WHETHER	Do you remember WHETHER she has been putting on that old coat again?
I wonder to know	Had the thieves thrown all that money to the river?	IF	I wonder to know if the thieves had thrown all that money to the river.
I don’t know	Have  we been studying this strange topic.	WHETHER	I don’t know WHETHER  we have been  studying this strange topic.

REMEMBER  if the inroductory statement is used in this case you don't have to use a question mark in the question, because the use of this affects  all te question,

If  the embedded question is in a statement , so it ends with a period, not a question mark.

Now create a mind map with your TEAM  about this topic.
