36. The Grammar You’re Already Using… Without Realizing It

from 5 минут английского с Лорой Пикенс | 5 Minutes of English with Laura Pickens

THE GRAMMAR THAT MAKES YOUR ENGLISH SOUND GROWN-UPIn this episode, we talk about a structure every English speaker uses constantly—but few learners ever truly master: “to have something done.” This is how we talk about haircuts, manicures, deliveries, repairs, renovations… all the moments when someone else does the work and we just enjoy the result. Once you understand this passive construction, you’ll stop saying “I cut my hair” by accident and start sounding far more natural.If you like how I teach you can learn more at laurapickens.ru/podcastГРАММАТИКА, КОТОРАЯ ДЕЛАЕТ ВАШ АНГЛИЙСКИЙ ЗРЕЛЫМ И НАТУРАЛЬНЫМВ этом выпуске мы разбираем конструкцию “to have something done” — ту самую, которую носители используют постоянно, а изучающие часто игнорируют. Так мы говорим о стрижках, маникюрах, доставках, ремонтах и любых услугах, где действие выполняет другой человек, а результат ваш. Поняв эту конструкцию, вы перестанете случайно говорить “I cut my hair” и начнёте звучать гораздо естественнее.Если вам нравится мой подход, больше вы найдете на laurapickens.ru/podcast
