5 MOST Difficult English GRAMMAR Structures! The EASY WAY!

Can you understand this conversation?

hello.

Welcome to the Starfish Spa.

Here you can have anything you want done for free.

Have your nails done, have your butthole cleaned.

Have your eyebrows waxed, or have your haircut, you name it.

We'll have one of our talented stylists do it for you.

Wow. Wait.

Sorry. Did you

This is your personal stylist

you need.

Sorry. You just said That's right.

If yours needs cleaning, we can make it look fresh as a daisy.

Is that my.

But hold on. I'm not finished yet.

Eva is a robot.

You can make her do anything.

Anything?

Can I have ever get me a chocolate?

You. Wow.

Thanks. Ever

I like this.

This is. This is great.

So which service would you like? want the

I've put timestamps in chapters for each of these structures.

So if you think Yeah I know this one. Skip.

You can.

However I recommend you watch this from beginning to end.

That way everything will make perfect sense to you.

we often practice all of these in my speaking classes.

You can join here.

also you need to make notes during this lesson.

okay. Starting easy.

Have someone do something or get someone to do something.

So, for example, I come to your company for an interview.

You're the boss.

This is your assistant, Stella.

Hey, Stella.

So, at interviews, I'm always very, very nervous.

So I ask you.

Can I have some tea, please? and you say.

Don't worry.

I'll ask Stella to get you some tea.

remember.

You are the boss.

You will arrange this.

I'm arranging it. How? By asking.

So replace ask.

We've have removed the two.

The verb is the same pronunciation.

In English we usually stress the important parts of the sentence.

If you just say Stella, get tea.

I understand what you mean.

So those are the words you stress when you speak.

I'll have Stella get you some tea.

and again this structure to have someone do something is for arrangements.

Like when you ask someone to do something for you.

You try it.

Now with an example you might use.

Let's say that Yesterday you asked

ChatGPT to write your essay for you.

Very bad. Don't do that.

But if you do now you know how to say it in English.

you arranged this.

So remove ask half.

This is past tense.

So had you had ChatGPT

removed two You had ChatGPT write your essay for you.

Don't do that.

Please.

and again pronunciation which words do you stress?

ChatGPT you write, I say again the important words of a sentence,

those other words which you stress when you speak.

Yeah.

Yesterday I had ChatGPT write my essay.

so let's look at common examples with that.

I have her cut my hair.

Present tense.

Remember, have takes the time.

That verb never changes.

It's a bare infinitive, which means the verb doesn't change.

There's no ING no two before it and no third person s he she.

It doesn't matter. Bare infinitive.

Yeah I had them all to my shirt because it was too long.

quick pronunciation here Remember you stress the focused words.

usually we don't care who alters your shirt or.

Who they are.

For that reason, don't stress them here.

The only important words are alter and shirt.

I had them all to my shirt because it was massive.

Remember, it's all about the focus of the sentence. So

imagine at the

interview, I get the job and I want to know.

Okay, this contract.

Will you give me a contract?

Will you post a contract to me or an email?

What? How do I get this contract?

you say.

I'll have Stella email you the contract later.

Those are the important words.

So those are the ones you stress.

So you see this is a very common

very useful structure that you will need every day.

okay, you're making arrangements.

You have them do something, but you're still asking.

Hey, can you please do this?

They can still say no.

What about situations

where you are forcing that person to do something?

Then change the verb. Have to make.

it's like you cause something to happen or change.

You might use this at the hairdresser.

Like, Please don't make my hair look stupid.

Notice again that verb bare infinitive doesn't change.

No ING.

No s, no two nothing.

Bare infinitive.

The verb make takes all the time tense.

For past tense.

Nice and easy.

For example, She made me change my shirt.

notice there is a pattern.

You're causing someone to do something in different ways.

What if that way is

convincing someone to do something or persuading them to do something right?

in this situation, we use the verb get.

you. Want some tea?

Don't worry.

I'll get Stella to get you some tea.

In this case, notice We've have no two.

We get two.

I'll have Stella get you some tea.

I'll get Stella to get you some tea.

And I know what you're thinking.

Two gets in one sentence.

Is that weird?

It's fine because English is stupid.

It really depends how you say it.

I will get you to love me.

That sounds like an arrangement.

Or you're trying to convince them.

However, if you use a stronger tone, I will get you to love me.

Now, it sounds weird.

Now it sounds like you're forcing the person to love you.

Don't say it like that.

Really.

Be careful not to stress that verb. Okay?

Promise me.

Good.

Okay.

You ready for your English to go supernova?

here I am.

Can I get you to do yoga with me?

this is great.

You're going to convince them to try yoga with you, right?

Maybe they will try it once.

Fine. However.

what if you want to convince them to do it continuously,

repeatedly, all the time, like a new habit or a new hobby?

Then you change the grammar to this.

I'll get you go into yoga with me.

You're going to love it.

This grammar get someone with ING in the verb

sounds continuous, like they will do it more than once.

with the ING form really, really common

when you complain about something, for example. Oh.

My teacher has got me working on this project is so boring.

I hate it.

Or let's imagine you start a new habit, a new hobby. Why?

Because someone convinced you to do it.

For example.

My girlfriend got me eating very healthy food.

I love it, I love not having fun.

this is exactly where the ultimate English e-book comes in handy.

I developed this specifically for self-study.

So if you're studying alone, this is perfect for you I put it on my website.

Papa teach me.com.

Or there's a link right down there that you can get it right now.

Let me ask you this. Do you eat meat?

I do kind of less than before

because of videos like this with cute pigs.

videos like this got me to stop eating pork.

Lamb two chickens are dumb though.

I eat chicken but notice the grammar in that sentence.

This got me to stop eating pork.

This structure is very, very good for debates.

for example, this is my opinion.

This is your opinion.

What would convince you to change your opinion?

What would get you to change your mind?

Do you believe in God?

What would get you to stop believing?

Are you an atheist?

What would get you to believe in God?

So question for you answer in the comments.

If you eat meat what would get you to stop eating meat?

Also, did you notice the stress in that sentence?

Of course you did.

You're a legend.

practice, everything you've learned from today in the comments.

Ask questions to other commenters.

I'll pin the best questions to let our awesome community of students answer them.

Okay, so those verbs are very useful when you are arranging something

or ordering someone to do something right.

However, this structure is very useful to talk about getting a service.

For example, I'm walking home.

I'm waiting for that contract from Stella.

But there. Oh, no.

No, I broke my phone.

I don't know how to fix this.

I need someone else to fix my phone for me as a service.

Right. So I'll save this.

I need to have my phone fixed by the guy who fixes phones

by the guy is not necessary.

Again, we don't know who that person is.

It's not important. So we can remove that.

The form here is have then the object that receives the service,

Then the method of that service.

In this case my phone and fix

the verb is in verb three past participle.

Now this is a regular verb, so this is not the best example.

and you can change.

Have to get I need to get my phone fixed.

I need to have my phone fixed.

Both mean the same thing.

And again, only this verb changes with the time.

But my students learn this.

Then they hear it in a different context like this.

Brilliant. I've had my flight canceled.

So this could be something unfortunate happened to you.

You had your flight canceled? No.

oh, I got my phone stolen.

perfect time to remind you if you're in London.

Hold on to your phone tight.

Don't get your phone stolen.

in London, it's a really, really bad problem.

So please be careful.

all right.

So we've talked about making things happen, having someone do something,

having something done to you, convincing someone to do something.

but this structure, this means

someone needs to do this thing.

It doesn't matter who this thing just needs to happen.

For example.

When you walk into a room and you're like, whoa,

this room is messy, someone needs to clean this room.

Doesn't matter who. You could say this.

Wow, this room cleaning.

Notice the verb is in the ING form.

So yes, you could change this to a noun.

This room needs a clean.

That means the same thing works just the same way.

And before you ask, yes, it's exactly the same as this.

This room needs to be cleaned.

Same thing.

and as a bonus structure change, the word needs to could do with

and it works the same and it sounds more natural, sounds more modern.

Right?

while this room could do with cleaning, this room could do with a clean,

this room could do with being cleaned.

Just make sure that verb is in the ING form and it's good.

Another example could be I've just finished my essay.

It needs checking now.

Or my essay needs to be checked.

Or it could do with being checked.

wow, after all that grammar I am tired.

I could do with the sleep.

I could do with going to bed. Okay.

Before I go, the most difficult part of this

lesson is knowing the verb forms.

So here's a quiz.

Put your answers in the comments, See if you get everything right

and I'll see you in the next lesson okay. Bye.
