ENGLISH IN A TEACUP

Hello, everyone! This is Kate.

Welcome to my podcast. Today we are going to study one very interesting and important grammar, which is gonna help you to sound like a native speaker.

Ready?-Let’s go!


Okay, imagine that you need to go to the hairdressers. Your hair is long and obviously it’s time to do something with it. How would you tell this to your companion?  

“I’m gonna cut my hair?”, but you are not doing it yourself, so, there is a better option.

If you are getting some services, there is a construction which simplifies everything.

To have something done.

Listen to my examples:

I have my hair cut every month.
I’m having my hair cut right now.
I’ve decided. I will have my hair cut!

The verb have is used like any other verb and it follows all the rules.

Present simple: I have my windows cleaned every week. Someone cleans them for me.
Present Perfect: I have just had my dinner cooked. Someone cooked it for me.
Past Continuous: I was having my homework checked yesterday.


You see, it’s super easy and handy!


Practise yourself, here are some sentences in the description below:

I didn't cook my dinner myself. Someone prepared it for me.
I usually don't clean the windows by myself.
I have never cut my hair myself
I will not fix my car. My dad will do it for me.
I won’t check my blood pressure myself.

Have something done: WHAT IS IT?

Let's see what  "   I'll get back to you  "  means  : 

It means  : 

I  need time  to think about something before responding 

we use it when we need some time  to think about something  / a decision  before answering or responding

こんにちは！
Japanese daily life podcast のAtsushiです。
このPodcastは、日本語を勉強しているみなさんに向けたPodcastです。

今日もN3の漢字をやります！

化、をやります！

音読み　か、げ
訓読み　ばーける、ばーかす

意味は、形や性質などがかわる、ばける、影響がある、とかそんな感じですね。

例えば、

・正当化ーせいとうか　
　自分が間違ったことをみとめたくない、理由をつけること

・強化ーきょうか
　的をしぼって強くすること

・感化ーかんか
　人や何かに影響を受けること

・文化ーぶんか
　人間が人と関わる中でその土地で生まれてきた生活様式，価値観など

・化粧ーけしょう
　口べになどを使って顔を美しく見せること
　

こんな感じですね。
これを使って例文を作っていきましょう！

・彼はいつも遅刻を正当化する

・新しい商品のプロモーションを強化する

・YouTuberに感化されて、動画を撮りはじめました。

・日本では、電車を待つ時、きれいに列に並ぶという文化があります。また、伝統文化として、茶道、華道、書道などがあります。

・彼女はほぼ毎日化粧しますが、休みの日はすっぴんです。




こんな感じです。


今回も最後まで聞いていただき、ありがとうございます！
