Will they know these linguistic terms? Will I be overloading them by telling them what they are? Is it really helpful for them? These are all questions teachers ask themselves and the answer may not always be the same, depending on who we are teaching. What we do know for sure is that human brains are naturally wired to spot patterns. This built-in ability is a huge advantage when it comes to teaching grammar, as recognising patterns in language can make learning and teaching grammar rules much more intuitive and effective without lots of linguistic terminology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Let\u2019s take a real-life example of language from a snippet of a conversation I had the other day. I bumped into a friend the who looked different. I said to her \u2018Nita, you look great! Have you had your hair cut?\u2019 She replied \u2018Thanks. Actually, I cut it myself\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">How did Nita know that I was asking if she\u2019d been to the hairdresser\u2019s if I didn\u2019t mention the hairdresser or the salon? Look at the question again and let\u2019s look at some more examples.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Have you had your hair cut?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>have your hair cut<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>have my car fixed<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>have your blood pressure taken<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What do these examples have in common?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\"><strong>Their meaning and use:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">In terms of meaning, all these structures tell us that <strong>someone performs the service for us<\/strong>. We use this structure to explain that we didn\u2019t do it ourselves, we paid someone to do it. Can you think of more examples from service industries?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Here are a few more:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Have a new set of keys cut<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Have my shoes reheeled<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Have my jacket dry-cleaned<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Have sushi delivered<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\"><strong>Their structure:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">We can see from these examples that they all follow a clear pattern: \u201cto have something done\u201d, or <strong>have + object + past participle<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>have + your hair + cut<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>have + my car + fixed<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>have + your blood pressure + taken<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>have + my jacket + dry cleaned<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">The verb used at the end of this structure is called the <strong>past participle<\/strong> (e.g. cut, fixed, taken, cleaned). This might be a familiar term for some learners as we use the past participle in other structures too, so this is often worth pointing out to help build their awareness of common patterns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" fetchpriority=\"low\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/ec.itmonks.dev\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/01\/EC-Malta-Students-Graduation-19.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2313\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ec.itmonks.dev\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/01\/EC-Malta-Students-Graduation-19.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/ec.itmonks.dev\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/01\/EC-Malta-Students-Graduation-19-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ec.itmonks.dev\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/01\/EC-Malta-Students-Graduation-19-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ec.itmonks.dev\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/01\/EC-Malta-Students-Graduation-19-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ec.itmonks.dev\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/01\/EC-Malta-Students-Graduation-19-1536x864.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How can we help learners to recognise patterns?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">When raising learners awareness of patterns, it\u2019s important to give them more than one example. With this particular structure, you could ask learners to think of examples of services they might pay for. To support them, you could give pictures of various services (e.g. hairdressers \/ mechanics).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Once you have a number of examples using the same structure, ask learners to examine them and find the common pattern. Doing these activities in pairs can help as learners begin to bounce ideas off each other and together they find the meaning and patterns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Next it\u2019s all about consolidating the pattern by getting learners to use it. We can get them to ask each other questions and encourage conversations:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">When was the last time you\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>had your eyes tested?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>had your car serviced?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>had your house redecorated?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>had your nails done?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>had a device repaired?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">This repetition can be incredibly useful for learners. It helps to reinforce the pattern making it easier for them to recognise and use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">The final step is to send them out into the world to try to find examples of it in use. By sending them on a pattern-hunt, we encourage them to notice other patterns and structures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img width=\"1620\" height=\"1080\" fetchpriority=\"low\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/ec.itmonks.dev\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/01\/Teacher-Student-Pointing-Laughing-Classroom-EC.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4136\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ec.itmonks.dev\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/01\/Teacher-Student-Pointing-Laughing-Classroom-EC.jpg 1620w, https:\/\/ec.itmonks.dev\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/01\/Teacher-Student-Pointing-Laughing-Classroom-EC-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ec.itmonks.dev\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/01\/Teacher-Student-Pointing-Laughing-Classroom-EC-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ec.itmonks.dev\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/01\/Teacher-Student-Pointing-Laughing-Classroom-EC-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ec.itmonks.dev\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/01\/Teacher-Student-Pointing-Laughing-Classroom-EC-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1620px) 100vw, 1620px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Final  thoughts for English teachers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Some learners will want to know the grammar terminology and that can also give them more autonomy when it comes to studying outside of the classroom. Not all learners will need or want this and so you can keep it useful by focusing on a recognisable pattern that everyone can see. Nevertheless, doing your research before a lesson can help you be prepared and become more confident with terminology bit by bit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">CELTA and DELTA courses<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">The structure we have been looking at here is known as the causative passive construction.
