Present perfect continuous I've been doing a report on the sales fig ur es. She's been running she looks tired! She's run th e Lo nd o n marathon twice. Have they rev ised for tomorrow's exam? Have they been rev ising or not? Present perfect simple I've done all m y work!
It can be difficult to know whether the simple o r continuous form is the correct one when you 're using the present perfect. Sometimes there isn't much d ifference and it won't matter which you choose. However, there are two things you can conside r whe n you're deciding between the two. • You use the pre sent perfect continuous when the activity that you're ta lking about is im po rt ant , The activity may have finished recently or it may still be going on. He's been running for two hours already. (And he's still running now.) They've been painting the ceiling. (That explains why they have paint on their clothes .) • You use the present perfect simple when you feel that the result of a completed activity is important. He's run the marathon. (This is an im po rt ant achievement.) They 've painted the ceiling. (The resu lt is important. It loo ks better now.) Note: Quite often it doesn't matter whether you use the si mple form or the continuous. The meaning is the same or very similar. Jim's worked all night. I've had a bad drea m . Jim 's been working all night. I've been having a bad dream. However, use the present perfect simple (not the present perfect continuous) with verbs that are not usually used in the continuous form, e.g. agree, believe, know, etc. I've known Pete for a long time . NOT J!-ve-eeen-know;ng'Pete-ffi-r 8 fona time.

Second and t hird conditionals
o Review
Fix it notes A
Second and third conditionals
Use second condi tional sen tences when yo u're th ink ing abou t present situations.
For information about zero and f irst condi tiona l sentences, see Test it, Fix it: English Verbs and Tenses Pre-intermediate pages 53 and 61.
B Use second conditional sentences w he n you 're thi nking about future situations. C Use second co nditio nal sentences wi th If I were you to gi ve advice. D Use third condi t ional sentences to talk abo ut thi ngs th at have already happened in the past.
E Use the pas t tense in the if cl ause of second co nd itio nal sentences and would/wouldn 't in the othe r cla use.
Second conditional • Yo u can use second cond itional sen tences to ta lk about unreal situations i n the present. You use t he past tense in the if clause and would/wouldn 't in the other clause . If I didn't have to work, I'd lie on the beach all da y. (But I have to work, so I can't.) If we had lots of time, we'd travel. (But we haven't, so we don't .) • You can also use second condi tional sentences to ta lk about un likely events in the future . If I won the lottery, I'd shere it with you. (But I probably won 't win it, so I won't share it with you .) If I saw a ghost, I'd speak to it. (But I' m not very like ly to see a ghost, so I won 't speak to one .) You can use second co ndi tional sentences with If I were you to give advice. If I were you, I'd see a doctor. I wouldn't forget Jo 's birthday if I were you.
Third conditional F Use the past perfect in t he if cl au se of th ird co nd itio nal sentences and would/wouldn 't have in th e other clause.

For more info rm ati o n, see the Review page opposite.
• You use thi rd cond it iona l sentences to talk about things that have already happened in the past and their consequences. You use the past perfect in the if clause and would/wouldn 't have in the other clause. If we hadn't smashed the car up. we wouldn't have got into trouble. (But we did smash the car up and we d id ge t i nt o tr o u bl e.) If I'd told you, you 'd have been furious with me. (So I didn't tell you and you weren't furious.) T he i f clause often comes first in condi tional sentences. However, you can reverse the two clauses w ithout chang ing the meaning . If James didn't have suc h a good sense of humour, I wouldn 't like him as much. = I wouldn't like J am es as much if he didn't have such a good sense of humour. When the if cl ouso co m es first, yo u put a comma between the two clauses. You don't need ana if it comes second . Note, however, that native speakers often leavo tho commn out.

Have/Get something done
o Review
Fix it notes A Use have (or get) + object + past participle to say that you arrange for someone to do something for you .
8 Use the passive (object + be + past participle) when something happens that you d idn't arrange.
C Use the active (subj ect + verb + object ) when the subject does the action.

For more in forma tion, see the Review page opposite.
Have/Get something done Unlike some other languages, in English you can't say that you do, did or wi ll do something if yo u mean that someone else does the action. So , for example, you can 't say 'I'm going to service the car' if you mean that yo u're going to take it to a garage and a mechanic is going to service it for you . Instead. you can use the str ucture have/get something done: ' I' m going to have the car serviced.' • You use have l or get) + object + past particip le to say that you arrange fo r someone to do so m ethi ng for you . Often it's a service t hat you pa y for. I'm having my hair cut next week . Let's get the dog shampooed. Note that get is more informal than have but the meaning is the same . I'm going to get m y computer fixed. = I'm going to have my computer fixed.
• You use t he passive (object + correct form of be + past participle) when something happens that y o u didn't arrange and didn't want. Ou r house was broken int o last nigh t. (I di d n't arrange f o r this to happe n.) My wallet w as stolen in the shopping centre. • You can also use have + object + past participle to ta lk about experiences . Often these experiences are unpleasa nt. Peter had his mo torbike stolen last sum m er. (He didn't arrange for this to happen. It w as something that happened to him.) We've had our car vandalized five times this year. • You use the active (subject + verb + ob ject) when the subject does the action. I cut my hai r last night. It looks a mess! John's repaired my computer. (I did it myself.) (He's a computer engineer.) You can use have/get + object + past participl e in all tenses . I'm having my hair cut at the moment. I have my car serviced twice a year. I was having the house valued when he arrived. I had the windo w mended. I've had my house broken into twice. I' ve been having the kitchen painted. I'd had m y portrait painted once before. I'd bean IllIving my films processed there for years. I'm going to hnve tho ciog shampooed. I'll I lo'I ve thl» jm;kllt dry clennad, pleflS().

Relative clauses Defining relative clauses • You use defini ng rel ati ve cl auses to add essential information to a sentence . The clause goes immediately after the noun it describes. This is the man. This is th e m an who sold me the car. (The clause answers the question 'w hich man?') • You use rela tive pronouns (who, which, that, etc.) to introduce defining relative clauses. Use w ho or that for people; that or which for obj ects; where to talk about a place; whose to talk about possession . Here's the book thatjwhich you lent me. He's the man who/that owns the sho p. He's the man whose dog bit me. This is the place where I was born. • You can leave out who, that, w h ich, et c. in a defining relative clause when the clause is the object of the sentence. Here's the book (that) you lent me. She's the girl (that) / told you about. You can't leave it out in a defining relative clause when the clause is the subject of the sentence. This is the man who got the job. Rome is the city where I was born. You can never leave it out of a no ndefining rela tive clause . The fan s, who were waiting anxio usly, finally saw the rock star. NOT セ。ョウLキ・イ」 waiting XョクゥッオウLGセ finally-s8w--t:he--reck ster: • You don't use more than one subject or object pronoun in a relative clau se. The relative pronou n (who, which, etc .) rep laces the subject or ob ject pronouns (he, her, etc.). One pronoun is enough . Jack's the boy who won the prize. NOT daek!s-the boy who -he won the prhe.
Nondefining relative clauses • You use nondefining relati ve clauses to add nonessentia l information to a sen tence. The clause goes im mediately aft er the noun it describes. If y ou removed the relativ e clause, the sentence would still make sense on its own . David, who is a professor at the Universi ty of Barcelona, is a fri end of mine. Note that non defining relative clauses are much more .com m on in writing t han they are in speech. You use relative pronouns (who, which, where, etc.) to introduce non defining re lat ive clIlUSOS.

Verb patterns Using the -in g form • You use the -ing form (not the infinitive) after a prepositio n, e.g . about, at, in, like, of, without, etc . Is Charlie interested in music? We're really looking forward to seeing you. • You use the -ing form (not the infinitive) after some verbs, e.g. can't bear, can't stand, dislike, don't mind, enjoy, finish, go, hate, like, love, mean, suggest, etc. It means getting up really early but at least the flight is cheap. The verb go is very com mon when you're talking about sports. I suggested going to Majorca. Let 's go jogging/swimming/cycling .
Using the infinitive
Us e the infinitive after regret when it means t hat you are sorry about someth ing you're going to say. Use the infin it ive after stop when it means that yo u stop doing one thing in order to do another thing .
E Use the -ing form after remember and forget when you're ta lking about a memory. F Some verbs are followed by object + infinitive, e.g . advise, persuade, teach , want.

Verbs that take both the -ing form and infinitive You use the -ing form or the infinitive after some verbs, e.g. forget, regret, remember, stop, try. Be careful ! The meaning of the verb changes. stop Sheila stopped to say hello. (She stopped wha t she was doing. She said 'Hello'.) Mary stopped saying she was hungry. (She kept saying she was hungry. T hen she stopped .) forget I forgot to lock the car. (It's unlocked.) I'll never forget meeting you for the first time.
