Grammar Invasion_Conditionals

Conditional sentences have two parts: the if-clause and the main clause.

Example sentence: If you listen, you will understand the lesson.

If you listen is the if-clause and you will understand the lesson is the main clause.

The IF-clause introduces a condition. The main clause is the result of that condition.

What happens in the main clause is conditional to what happens in the if-clause. In other words the main clause only happens when the events in the if-clause happen.

There are 4 main types of conditional clauses (if-clauses)...

You have to focus on the zero, first and second conditional!

ZERO CONDITIONAL: for facts generally true or do not change

FIRST CONDITIONAL: for possible situation in the future

SECOND CONDITIONAL: 

for hypothetical or unlikely situations. Also used to give advice with If I were you…

Grammar Invasion_ The possessive 's

Possessive Case - Genitive Case 

We normally use the ’s with people, animals though it can also be used with places, organizations and companies (which suggest a group of people).

It is not common to use the ’s with non-living things.

1. Singular nouns

add 's (apostrophe S)

• My mother’s house is next to the beach. (= the house of my mother)

2. Plural nouns ending in –s

only add the apostrophe ' (without the S)

• The two sisters’ house is next to mine. (= the house of the two sisters)

3. Plural nouns not ending in –s:

add 's

• Be careful not to trip over the children’s toys. (= the toys of the children)

Il GENITIVO SASSONE

In italiano per dire che una cosa appartiene a qualcuno usiamo di, ad esempio: 

il libro di mia madre. In inglese, invece, aggiungiamo una s con l'apostrofo al possessore ('s). Questa 's si chiama genitivo sassone. Vediamo come si usa.

Usiamo il genitivo sassone per:

- esprimere possesso

- indicare i rapporti di parentela.

1. Quando il possessore è un nome singolare o un nome plurale irregolare (che non finisce in -s) aggiungiamo 's:

NOMI SINGOLARI E PLURALI IRREGOLARI + 's
my mother's book	il libro di mia madre
James's job	il lavoro di James
our children's toys	i giocattoli dei nostri bambini
women's attitude	l'atteggiamento delle donne

2. Quando il possessore è un nome plurale regolare (finisce in -s) aggiungiamo solo l'apostrofo:

NOMI PLURALI REGOLARI + '
my parents' car	l'auto dei miei genitori
his friends' house	la casa dei suoi amici

Casi particolari

·       Se un nome è composto da più parole, aggiungiamo il genitivo sassone solo all'ultima:

NOMI COMPOSTI DA PIÙ PAROLE
Peter Jones's daughter Peter's Jones's...	la figlia di Peter Jones
the Prime Minister's wife	la moglie del Primo Ministro

·       Se i possessori di una cosa sono più di uno, solo l'ultimo prende il genitivo sassone:

PIÙ POSSESSORI DI UNA STESSA COSA
Tom and Mary's children Tom's and Mary's ...	i figli di Tom e Mary
Mr and Mrs Parker's house	la casa del signore e della signora Parker

 Nel caso di più possessori di cose diverse, ogni possessore prende il genitivo sassone:

PIÙ POSSESSORI DI COSE DIVERSE
Tom's and Mary's children Tom and Mary's ...	i figli di Tom e quelli di Mary(= Tom e Mary non sono sposati)
my brother's girlfriend's neighbour	il vicino di casa della ragazza di mio fratello
my friend's grandfather's brother's garden	il giardino del fratello del nonno del mio amico
