SONG

THIS IS THE DAY
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e8wnUU5pIWE

This is the day
That the Lord hath made
And I'm so glad He made you
With each rising sun
You are here by my side
You are more than a dream come true
Oh to have you, to hold you
To love you, to pray
To share with, to care with
To hold hands and say

This is the day
That the Lord hath made
And I will rejoice I will rejoice I will rejoice with you
This is the day
That the Lord hath made that you and I are one
Love's mystery is unfolding today
Written for us in the Son
Oh for better, for worse
For rich or for poor
Each day that passes
I'll love you more 'Cause

INDIRECT QUESTIONS

http://www.1-language.com/englishcourse/unit66_grammar.htm
http://www.spanishdict.com/answers/9522/indirect-questions

Indirect questions are polite, longer forms of normal questions. For
example:
- Where's the department store? - Direct question
- Could you tell me where the department store is, please? - Indirect
question
- What's his name? - Direct question
- Do you know what his name is? - Indirect question

Form

Indirect questions are formed of two parts: a polite expression, and a
question which has no subject/verb inversion like a normal question . For
example:
- What's his name? >>
- Do you know what his name is? - Indirect question
Here the polite expression is "Do you know...", and the question part is
"...what his name is?". Note that the subject and verb have not changed
place in the question part. So if you said "Do you know what is his name?",
this would be incorrect.

Another example:
- What's the time? >>
- Do you have any idea what the time is? - Indirect question
The polite expression is "Do you have any idea...?", and the question is
"...what the time is?".
The question is not "...what is the time?" - you don't invert the subject and
verb kike a normal question.

Auxiliary Verb "To do"

The auxiliary verb "to do"is used in questions when there is no other auxiliary
verb. For example:
- You like Chinese food. >>
- Do you like Chinese food?
17

Indirect questions do not use the auxiliary verb "to do" in the main
Página

question. For example:
- When does the next train arrive? - Direct question


- Do you know when the next train arrives? - Indirect question
- Do you know when does the next train arrive? - Incorrect

Another example:
- When does the restaurant close? - Direct question
- Could you tell me when the restaurant closes? - Indirect question
- Could you tell me when does the restaurant close? - Incorrect

There are infinite ways to make indirect questions. Not all indirect questions
are questions at all, rather they are polite statements which encourage
some kind of response. Some common polite expressions include:
- I wonder if/whether...?
- I can't remember if/whether...?
- Could you tell me if/whether...?
- Would you mind telling me if/whether...?
- Would it be possible for you to...?
- Is there any chance you could...?
- I don't suppose you could...
- I'd like to know if/whether...
- I can't remember...

Whis

http://www.englishgrammarsecrets.com/wish/menu.php

t from what they are, that we have regrets about the present situation.

 I wish I was rich.
 He wishes he lived in Paris.
 They wish they'd chosen a different leader.

Notice that the verb tense which follows 'I wish' is 'more in the past' than the
tense corresponding to its meaning.

 I'm too fat. I wish I was thin.
 I never get invited to parties. I wish I got invited to parties.
 It's raining. I wish it wasn't raining.
 I went to see the latest Star Wars film. I wish I hadn't gone.
 I've eaten too much. I wish I hadn't eaten so much.
 I'm going to visit her later. I wish I wasn't going to visit her later.

In the case of 'will' , where 'will' means 'show willingness' we use 'would'.

 He won't help me. I wish he would help me.
 You're making too much noise. I wish you would be quiet.
 You keep interrupting me. I wish you wouldn't do that.

Where 'will' means a future event, we cannot use 'wish' and must use 'hope'.

 There's a strike tomorrow. I hope some buses will still be running.
 I hope everything will be fine in your new job.

In more formal English, we use the subjunctive form 'were' and not 'was' after
'wish'.

 I wish I were taller.
 I wish it were Saturday today.
 I wish he were here.
