USES:

- have / get something done is used to express things that other people do for us because we  cannot do them or we prefer not to do them; the action is not carried out by the subject.

- As in passive sentences, we can omit the agent if it is obvious who did the action or if it is not important.

TIME CLAUSES

TIME CLAUSES

TIME CLAUSES act as adverbs and tell us when something happens. They usually begin with words like:  

 

  when
     

 before
      

after
      

as soon as
    

  until

Existen 3 tipos de "Time Clauses". Los dos primeros no suelen plantearnos dificultades.

a) Past Time Clauses: en las que tanto la oración subordinada como la principal de la que aquélla forma parte se refieren al pasado: When I got home, I phoned the shop (Cuando llegué a casa, llamé a la tienda).

b) Present Time Clauses: en las que ambas oraciones hacen referencia al presente.

c) Future Time Clauses: en las que, a pesar de que el verbo de la "time clause" hace referencia al futuro, no irá en ningún caso conjugado en futuro simple (will + infinitivo) sino en presente simple (con algunas excepciones en las que puede aparecer en "present perfect", y de las que nos ocuparemos en otra ocasión)

Vamos a ver algunos ejemplos de este último tipo:

- When (cuando): Pay no attention to him when you get home.

- Before (antes de): Should I tell her before she leaves?

- After (después de): After you get to work, drink a glass of water

- Until / Till (hasta): I won't leave until you tell me.

- As soon as (tan pronto como / en cuanto): As soon as I hear from her, I' ll give you a telephone call.
