Review: Unit 4

Compound nouns

Words that are combined with another words, the first part of the word tell us the kind of person/object it is and the second part  identifies the object/person in question.

              Boyfriend 

              Hotdog

But sometimes there isn't two words together to make a compound noun like: 

               Swimming pool

               Washing machine 

Have/Get something done

Describes situations where we want someone else to do something for us (as a favor or service)

           We need to have the roof fixed

           We need to get the door replaced

The expression "To have" is used to talk about activities by a specific subject.

          I will have Jimmy repair my automatic door

The expression "To get" is very similar to "To have" but the meaning is very closer to "persuade"

          I must get my my dad to buy a new TV
