PAST MODALS (DEDUCTION)

 

We can use modal verbs for deduction – guessing if something is true using the available information. The modal verb we choose shows how certain we are about the possibility. 

must have

We use must have + past participle when we feel sure about what happened.

Who told the newspapers about the prime minister's plans? It must have been someone close to him.
The thief must have had a key. The door was locked and nothing was broken.

might have / may have

We can use might have or may have + past participle when we think it's possible that something happened.


I think I might have left the air conditioning on. Please can you check?
Police think the suspect may have left the country using a fake passport.

May have is more formal than might have. Could have is also possible in this context but less common.

can't have / couldn't have

We use can't have and couldn't have + past participle when we think it's not possible that something happened.

She can't have driven there. Her car keys are still here.
I thought I saw Adnan this morning but it couldn't have been him – he's in Greece this week.

PERFECT AND PASSIVE INFINITIVE AND THE -ING FORM

 

The perfect infinitive has the following structure: (to) have + past participle. For example: to have missed, to have written, to have worked, to have left etc. The perfect infinitive often refers to things that might have happened in the past:

You seem to have annoyed him

But perfect infinitive can also refer to something that will be completed at a point in the future:

We hope to have finished the car repair by the end of May.

A perfect infinitive is an infinitive in the form of “to have + past participle”. It is mainly used after some verbs to emphasize that something happened in the past.

She seems to be very optimistic.

She seems to have been very optimistic.

The perfect infinitive also appears in the passive voice:

He is supposed to have met the American president.

Mia is considered to have been the best manager of the company.

The perfect infinitive continuous is an infinitive in the form of “to have been + verb + ing”. It is used after some verbs to emphasize that something happened in a particular moment in the past.

He seems to have waited for a long time.

When I saw him, he seemed to have been waiting for somebody.

She pretended to have been reading, but in fact, she was listening to their conversation.

The passive infinitive is used in some constructions of the passive voice and is common after modal verbs. We use the passive infinitive when we want to focus on the receiver, or when we do not want to mention the agent (the person who does the action):

The carpet needs to be washed.

These doors should be shut at night.

He is going to be interviewed tomorrow.

The passive perfect infinitive form is used to talk about the past.

The corporation may have been sold last week.
We should have been told about the dangers.

The passive -ing form is used to express a continuous action.

I don’t like being cheated.
He remembers being given the 

A passive gerund is a verb with -ing ending in the passive voice. It may appear in one of two forms: present (e.g. being shown) and past (e.g. having been shown).

I remember being taken to the hospital.
I hate being spoken to as if I’m a child.

He showed no signs of having been warned.
The notice, having been written in small letters, was not clearly visible.

SERIES PARA MEJORAR TU NIVEL DE INGLÉS

En ocasiones, cuando gozamos de nuestro tiempo de ocio, nos entra un sentimiento de culpabilidad por no aprovechar esos momentos para algo más educativo o productivo. Pero fusionar las dos finalidades en un solo ejercicio es posible y satisfactorio. Se trata de empezar a ver nuestras series favoritas en inglés. De este modo, mientras estamos disfrutando de la trama estaremos haciendo oído y adquiriendo nuevo vocabulario, mejorando la gramática y la pronunciación. Y todo esto, sin moverse del sofá y de una forma divertida.

Hay que desterrar el viejo método del lápiz y el papel para aprender un idioma. Los países de habla no inglesa en los que las series se emiten en versión original subtitulada tienen mejor nivel de inglés que otros países que lo doblan. Así lo recoge un estudio publicado en diciembre pasado en 'Journal of Economic Behavior and Organization'. Eso sí, debemos elegir una serie u otra en función de nuestro nivel de inglés. En TicBeat han elaborado un listado para guiarnos a la hora de decantarnos por una producción u otra.

Nivel bajo de inglés

Debemos buscar series con diálogos simples y pronunciaciones claras para que seguir el hilo sea factible. 'Vikings', 'Gotham' u 'Ozark' son las mejores recomendaciones ya que son series de acción,  y eso permite que la comprensión en inglés sea más sencilla.

Nivel intermedio de inglés

Para un nivel intermedio de inglés podemos optar por series como 'Modern Family' o series como 'The Simpson', en la que los personajes son siempre los mismos y podemos apreciar sus particularidades lingüísticas.

'House of Cards' es perfecta para ampliar el vocabulario ya que utiliza muchos términos políticos. 'Downtown Abbey' o 'The Crown', también son muy recomendables en este nivel ya que ambas tienen un inglés muy pulcro y formal.

Nivel alto de inglés

Cuando el dominio del idioma es alto, los expertos recomiendan series con más giros en el argumento y tramas enrevesadas como 'Sherlock', 'Peaky Blinders', o 'Orange is the New Black'.

En la primera, por ejemplo, los personajes hablan a gran velocidad y la terminología que utilizan no es nada fácil. El acento en 'Peaky Blinders' es sólo apto para oídos experimentados y en la producción carcelaria de Netflix, la jerga y los acentos que utilizan las presas de la serie son complicados de entender si no eres un experto en el idioma. Otras series recomendadas para eruditos de la lengua de Shakespeare son 'Juego de Tronos', 'Sense 8' o 'Derek'.

PRINCE HARRY ON TEACHERS

"In addition to reading, writing and arithmetic, the very best teachers go beyond the pages of textbooks to teach young people about determination, aspiration, resilience and of course compassion," said Prince Harry.
