NI1 - UNIT 8B: Work

This unit is dealing with WORK and you'll see many examples of the grammar we've seen in the recent lessons like passive voice, reported speech and so on. Pay attention to the vocabulary as it's pretty useful. If you want to do some more practice, here you are a good link; click here.

The difference between work and job is quite simple: work is referred to what you do and job means your post, in general. For further explanation, go to this link with an exercise to practise; clik here

About grammar we have one of the most difficult things for Spanish speakers because it's very different from our language; we tend to use infinitive more than gerund. However, let me give you an example to see this point:

• I saw Peter to play football: Vi a Pedro jugar al futbol.
• I saw Peter playing football: Vi a Pedro jugando al futbol.

Although the difference is small, it exists in both languages: the infinitive is used for the whole action while the gerund is used for a moment of the action. This example might help you to understand the grammar point: verbs followed by infinitive, by gerund or by both.

But the best way of dealing with this grammar topic is by doing a lot of exercises. Here you are some practice:
