    Third conditional

    • Definition
    The third conditional is the one we use to talk about the past. However, not of
    something that happened, but of something that could have happened, its
    consequences in a hypothetical future and if that past event had been otherwise.
    The third conditional is considered an unreal conditional, since it refers to the past,
    but not to what actually happened, but to what could have happened and how it
    would have had other consequences.

    • Structure and rules

    Structure
    If + past simple, sujeto + would / wouldn + have + participio pasado

    • How to use it in sentences?

    This structure is used to talk about events in the past that, if they had
    happened in a different way, would have had different consequences. It
    is a hypothetical situation in the past. We are imagining what could have
    happened.
    1. If I had had enough money, I would have bought you a house.
    2. I would have invited her to the party if she had told me she wasin Barcelona

    1. Mia: ¡Hey Robert! Why are you crying?
    Robert: I failed the final exam again so I can’t go to college.
    Mia: But, why? Andrew told me you studied a lot last weekend.
    Robert: Hmm no that much. Carla invited me to a party.
    Mia: You didn’t go, right?
    Robert: Yes, I did. If I had not gone to the party, I would have had more
    time to study.
    Mia: Oh that’s bad. What did your mother say?
    Robert: Mom cried a bit and dad got really pissed. He grounded me for 2
    months.
    Mia: Wow! That is a long time. If you had studied more, your dad would
    not have grounded you for such a long time.
    Robert: Yeah, I know. In addition, there is something even worse.
    Mia: Even worse?
    Robert: Yes. If I had passed the exam, my parents would have given me
    a brand new car as a gift.
    Mia: Oh, man. You messed it up big time.

    • Definition
    The passive voice is a grammatical structure used when you do not want
    to emphases who or what the action, but rather emphasize who or what
    receives the action.

    • Structure and rules
    The passive sentence is constructed by using the verb to be in the verb
    tense and the main verb in the past participle, either by adding the
    particle –ed to the verb its regular, or by looking at the past participle in
    the list of irregular verbs if the verb is irregular.
    Objeto + verbo «to be» conjugado + past participle + by + sujeto
    Rules
    The subject of a passive verb corresponds to the object of an active verb
    As in English, the passive voice is formed with the verb to be and past
    participle
    The future progressive (Will be being + pp) and perfect progressive (has
    been being + pp) forms are not very common.

    • How to use it in sentences?
    The passive voice is used to show interest in the person or thing that is
    the object of an action, rather than the person or thing that performs
    the action. In other words, the most important person or thing becomes
    the subject of the sentence. Sometimes we use the passive voice
    because we don’t know or do not want to mention who performed the
    action. Is usually used in formal texts. Switching to the active voice will
    make what you write clearer and easier to read.

    1. The cat was chased by the dog.
    2. Many movies are made in Hollywood.
    3. The little girl is drawing her pet.
    4. My brother takes his medicine every day.
    5. The passengers are going to visit the museum.
    6. All cases of divorce are handled by Miss Adams.
    7. Rules are made to be obeyed.

    • Definition
    Cause and effect connectors are a certain type of discourse connectors or textual markers, i.e., a certain type of linguistic units that serve to link the parts of a text and thus give it an illation and logical organization. This specific type of connectors are called cause and effect connectors because their appearance in the text establishes a relation of causality, that is, of origin and consequence, between the linked elements, in other words, they establish that something is the cause of something else, or that something is the consequence of something else.


    •  Structure and rules
    Cause and effect: because of and due to, are adverb clauses introduced
    by because express cause and effect relationships
    Occasionally, you will see due to followed by a noun clause introduced
    by the fact that. This occurs primarily in older and very formal writing.
    Native English speakers rarely use it in conversations or informal writing
    Cause and effect: therefore, consequently, and so. Transition connect
    ideas between two ideas. They are used commonly in formal writing but
    rarely in spoken English. The transition therefore and consequently
    mean as a result. They occur in the second of two related sentences and
    can have a variety of position within the second sentence.
    •  To use a connector you must have defined the ideas that you want to communicate.
    • You must determite the order of enunciation of the ideas, i.e.
    • which one you want to start with, which one you want to start
    • with, witch one to continue with and which one to end your text
    • with. Without a clear order, connectors cannot be used.

    • How to use it in sentences?
    The connectors of cause and effect can be very varied, but some of the
    most commonly used ones are because, because of that, which means
    that, consequently, as a result, of so that, consequently, in a conclusion,
    so that, sense, therefore, since, among another.

    • Definition
    Adversarial or contrasting connectors are those textual connectors used
    to introduce, in a coherent manner in writing or in a discourse, ideas
    that contradict those previously stated.
    Conditional connectors are links that are used to condition one concept
    in relation to another and to restrict or partially grant information. For
    example: We will get to the movies if we hurry.

    •  Structure and rules
    Linking word of contrast
    Linking words of contrast are word that are used to contrast two ideas
    Rules
    But, yet, and however
    The particles but and yet are introduced in a sentence when we want to
    contrast one idea with another previously said.
    • To separate the two ideas, a comma is placed before but and yet.
    Nevertheless, is used when we are talking about a neutral
    contrasting situation; however, we use yet when we are surprised
    by the contrast.
    But is used when we are talking about a neutral contrasting situation;
    however, we use yet when we are surprised by the contrast.

    The particle however is more formal that but. It does not link ideas in
    the same sentence. First, one is given and then another is introduced,
    usually separated by a full stop.

    • It is mainly used at the beginning of the second sentence followed by a comma. It can also be placed in the middle of a sentence between two commas, or at the end of a sentence preceded by a comma.
    • Although, even though and though these three particles have the same meaning (although/ in spite of) and can be used interchangeably. They introduce a phrase which makes what the main sentence expresses seem surprising.

    • They can be placed at the beginning or in the middle of the sentence. Though can also be placed at the end of a sentence.

    • They precede a sentence made up of subject plus verb.

    Though (Pero/ aun asi/sin embargo) is used in spoken English with the
    same meaning as but it is placed at the end of a sentence, although does
    not apply in this case

    Despite and spite of, like although…, introduce a phrase which makes the
    main sentence expresses seem surprising.

    • They can be placed at the beginning or in the middle of the sentence.
    • They precede a noun, a pronoun (this, that, etc) a verb in the gerund, or the expression the fact that followed by subject plus verb.


    • How to use it in sentences?

    Their use is necessary, since they allow for a more fluent, organized and
    coherent writing, which favors good reading and effective
    comprehension of the texts.
    Contrast and condition connectors serve to connect different ideas or to
    highlight the differences between elements of the text. They are
    especially useful in writings in which we are presenting an argument and
    we want to compare opposing positions. They can also be used as a
    punch line to introduce unexpected information.
    In general, they are used to express concessions, restrictions and
    exclusions that provide contextual significance to discursive ideas.
    It should be noted that their main function is linked to two vital activities
    of the verbal communication process. The first is the argumentative
    activity in which the coherence of utterances is important.

    2.  Even though he tried to make us smile, he wasn’t able to.

    • Definition
    A review consists of commenting and describing a book, movie, event, restaurant, hotel... giving our personal opinion about it. It is not about; the book or the restaurant, because it is not an article, but to make a review, either positive or negative.
    If we want to highlight the essence of a well-done review, it is always to be informative and interesting for the reader. If you also manage to make it entertaining, all the better.

    • Structure and rules
    To write an opinion in English, the same structure should be established
    as in any other type of writing:
    -Brief introduction
    -Development of the critique
    -Final conclusion of what we are giving our opinion about.
    Even if the thing is about giving our opinion about a subject, it is
    important to make an informative exposition of the review. So if you
    want to make a good review in English, you must provide objective data
    and support them with your personal opinion.
    -Basic information. The first paragraph should include the title of the
    work, place or product to be reviewed. In literary works or films, the

    author or director, the genre, the place where the events take place and
    the genre to which it belongs should also be mentioned.
    If we are going to talk about a place, we will have to give details about
    where it is located.
    -Development or summary. In this second paragraph will appear the
    summary of the story told by the book, series or movie. If the review is
    of a restaurant, then we will talk about the type of food served, its
    specialties and the style of the establishment. We can also talk about
    the price of the dishes, the presentation, the characteristic flavors...
    If we are giving an opinion about a product, at this point we will give
    objective information about its finishes and features.
    -Strengths and weaknesses. In the third paragraph of our review we can
    add our personal opinion on different aspects. Here we can comment on
    those things that we have liked the most, and those that have
    disappointed us.
    -Conclusion and recommendation. Finally, in the last paragraph an
    overall evaluation of the work, place or product can be made. With this
    conclusion, the reader should know whether or not you recommend
    what you are talking about.

    • Use adjectives
    • Use a neutral style}, not too formal and not too informal
    • Try to use specific vocabulary that helps you to describe precisely what the book/ film conveys (that part was absolutely griping, moving flat, etc)


    •  How to use it in sentences?
    It is important to study vocabulary on all these topics to make it much easier to assign adjectives and use a more specialized vocabulary according to the chosen topic. Ideally, we should approach the reader by
    the way we write. You can use set phrases and trendy words. But it is also good to use the passive voice and more cultured descriptive expressions or adjectives.

    In this way, you will be able to show the public the positive and negative points that the product has and make an overall assessment to determine if it is worth buying, attending, reading, etc.
