4) Reflecting in my writing performance

In one of our class we learned about tag questions, another unusual form to write in English, but important to know and use sometimes. Most common we use that when we talk with someone, like with friends or family. 

We use tags in spoken English but not in formal written English. They are not really questions but are a way of asking the other person to make a comment and so keep the conversation open. Making a tag is very mechanical. To make a tag, use the first auxiliary. If there is no auxiliary, use do, does or did. With a positive sentence, make a negative tag and with a negative sentence, make a positive tag.

Examples of tag questions;

• It's beautiful, isn't it?
• He has been, hasn't he?
• You can, can't you?
• It must be, mustn't it?
• You know him, don’t you?
• He finished it, didn't he?
• He will come, won't he?

3) Reflecting in my writing performance

In this week I practiced a lot about mi grammar, with the activity of Mariana I learned the passive voice structure and how do sentences in that form. We did in class one practice and transform sentences in active voice to passive voice. This topic is interesting because it’s another form of grammar, like more educated or professional.

Passive voice is used when the focus is on the action. It is not important or not known, however, who or what is performing the action.

Example: My bike was stolen.

In the example above, the focus is on the fact that my bike was stolen. I do not know, however, who did it.

Sometimes a statement in passive is more polite than active voice, as the following example shows:

Example: A mistake was made.

In this case, I focus on the fact that a mistake was made, but I do not blame anyone.
