đź’™SO - SUCH / TOO - ENOUGHđź’™


❤ SO

 (tan, asĂ­, entonces) y SUCH (semejante, tal, tan, tanto), suelen confundir. VOY a intentar explicar sus diferencias y cĂłmo se  utilizan. 

 ❤ ejemplos:

•  I didn't like the film. The plot was so boring!!   (No disfrutĂ© de la pelĂ­cula. ¡¡La trama era tan aburrida!!)
•  I didn't enjoy the film. It was such a boring plot!!   (No disfrutĂ© de la pelĂ­cula. ¡¡Era una historia tan aburrida!!)
❤ Tanto SO como SUCH refuerzan el significado de un adjetivo. Observa:

•  It's a beautiful day, isn't it? It's so warm. (= really warm)
   (Es un dĂ­a hermoso, ¿no? Está tan cálido. (= realmente cálido)•  We enjoyed our vacation. We hadsuch a good time. (= a really good time)    (Disfrutamos nuestra vacaciĂłn. La pasamos tan bien. (= realmente muy bien)Ahora, compara SO y SUCH en estas dos oraciones 
• I like Miguel and Victoria. They are so nice.
   (Me gustan Miguel y Victoria. Son tan agradables)•  I like Miguel and Victoria. They are such nice people. (not   so nice people )   (Me gustan Miguel y Victoria. Son personas tan agradables)Con frecuencia decimos SO ... THAT (tan ... que) y SUCH ... THAT (tal ... que):
•  I was so tired that I went to bed at seven o'clock.

❤ Too equivale al español "demasiado".

Se utiliza siempre delante de los adjetivos o adverbios que modifica.

                This exercise is too easy (Este ejercicio es demasiado fácil)

                I arrived too late (LleguĂ© demasiado tarde)

Luego del adjetivo, puede agregarse "to" más un verbo.

                He's too young to drive (Es demasiado joven para conducir)
❤ Enough equivale al español "lo sufucientemente".

Se utiliza siempre despuĂ©s de los adjetivos o adverbios que modifica.

                 I arrived early enough (LleguĂ© lo suficientemente temprano)

También puede ser seguido de "to" más un verbo.

               He isn't old enough to drive (No es lo suficientemente mayor para conducir)

               He isn't strong enough to lift it (No es lo suficientemente fuerte como para levantarlo)

Si se usa con sustantivos, significa "suficiente/s" y va siempre antes.

đź’“REPORTED SPEECH - MODAL VERBS AND PAST PERFECT

đź’“REPORTED SPEECH - MODAL VERBS AND PAST PERFECT  Indirect speech focuses more on the content of what someone said rather than their exact words.  In indirect speech , the structure of the reported clause depends on whether the speaker is reporting a statement, a question or a command. 1. Direct Speech Saying exactly what someone has said is called direct speech. Here what a person says appears within quotation marks ("...") and we should say it with the exact words that the person said. He said, "Today’s lesson is on the past simple." "Today’s lesson is on the past simple," he said. 2. Indirect Speech, Reported Speech Indirect (reported speech), doesn’t use quotation marks to show what the person said and it doesn’t have to be the exact words as what the person said. When reporting speech is used the tense usually has to be changed. This is because when we use reported speech, we are usually talking about a time in the past T
