Warm-up

Before we look back at unit 4:

2. Have you ever cooked for a lot of people? How did it go?
3. Do you do your best work when someone is watching you, or do you get nervous?

Grammar rule

The five points of unit 4

Lesson	Form	Use	Example
16	being + past participle · to be + past participle	the action is done to the person: after -ing words and prepositions, after to words and adjectives	He's afraid of being stung by a bee. She was surprised to be asked to give the speech.
17	make / let / have + someone + verb · get + someone + to + verb	force · allow · give a task · persuade	Our teacher made us memorize a poem, and she got the principal to come and listen.
18	if + had + past participle → would + verb · if + past simple → would have + past participle	a past cause → a result now · true now → a past result	If we hadn't sold the cabin, we would spend every summer there. If he were taller, he would have made the basketball team.
19	it's time / I'd rather + someone + past simple · as if + past simple	it should happen now · what you want another person to do · it isn't true	It's time we painted the kitchen. I'd rather you didn't feed the dog from the table. He acts as if he knew everyone.
20	-ing · past participle · having + past participle · noun + -ing / past participle	active · passive · the earlier action · a short relative clause	Having packed the car, we drove to the coast. The woman selling tickets was very kind.

Five things to watch: being is not been, and after to, be + past participle; no to after make, let and have, but get + to; had + past participle for a past cause, and would + verb (not would have) for a result now; no will and no to after it's time and I'd rather + someone; and a participle clause has the same subject as the main clause.
