Hi Jeanie Mam, at the outset let me thank you for your lessons in grammar. You talked about "got " . I would like to know about the usage of "getting ".Thank you.

[@JeanietheEnglishTeacher]

There are many uses of the verb 'get', whether in the past form or the present participle. You can use the causative 'get' in progressive tenses as well; for example, "I am getting the car washed this afternoon" would use the present progressive for a scheduled future event. There is no way to talk about all of the uses of 'getting', though! It would take the rest of the month. :)

[@maherkhatib5456]

What’s about this sentence „ I meet a person called Tom „ „Called“ in this case is a passive or it is a relative clauses? Your Answer will be appreciated , and thank you in advance 🙂

[@JeanietheEnglishTeacher]

"Called Tom" is an adjective phrase, not an adjective (or relative) clause. The complete adjective clause would be "who is called Tom" ("I met a person who is called Tom"), but when the clause is reduced to a phrase by taking out the subject (who) and the be verb (is), it is now an adjective phrase. So, you can see that the complete verb in the adjective clause is a passive verb. When it is reduced to a phrase, it is no longer a complete passive verb, but it is a passive participle with a passive meaning.

@@JeanietheEnglishTeacher Many thanks Jeanie 😃! Finally I got it 🌸🌸

[@rajoraon97]

I love this....can you make me understand " have + present participle" and " have + bare infinitive" in what situation do we use it. 😍😍😍😍😍

[@JeanietheEnglishTeacher]

Hello Thomas - Give me some examples of each of these, so I know exactly what you are referring to. Thanks!

[@rajoraon97]

@@JeanietheEnglishTeacher Thank you for responding.sorry my question was wrong actually I wanted to ask have + object + present participle / bare infinitive example sentence like ..... " the teacher had the whole class singing mary had a little lamb." And " the boss had the staff working overtime" and "we'll have my brother staying with us for a little while until he finds a new apartment." Have + object +bare infinitive " I'll have harry book you a taxi " " He had kay make us all some tea " And, I just had them doing stretch routine and after,they got really good at it . I'm not able to understand what's this sentence wants to say. I have doubt like is it a gerund or gerundial infinitive and is it a present participle showing continuous action. Or in which situation we would use this structure. Thank you 😊😊😊😍😍

[@JeanietheEnglishTeacher]

@@rajoraon97 I would say that these present participles carry a progressive aspect. In the sentences you provided, you would only use those -ing forms to bring the reader into the unfinished action, or to indicate a repeated but temporary action. If you changed them to base forms, it would change the sense slightly to look at the whole action, or to talk about a regularly-repeated action.
