    A prepositional phrase is made up of a preposition and a no%n phrase. We use prepositional phrasesfor many purposes, for example:

    - as ad&er!ials o' time and pla"e:

    We will be back in a 'e( days.They drove to Glas)o(

    .- as a postmodi'ier in a no%n phrase:

    Helen is the irl in the red dressWe!ve ot a new television (ith a thirty one in"h s"reen.

    - to show (ho did somethin:

    The lion was killed !y the h%nter" saw a wonderful paintin !y *an Go)h

    - with do%!le o!+e"t &er!slike ive and et:

    We ave five pounds to the (omanon the "orner.They ot a drink 'or me.

    - after certain verbs, nouns and ad#ectives:

    The book belongs to me.

    " had an argument (ith my !rother." feel sorry 'or yo%.

    relati&e prono%ns

    S%!+e"t O!+e"t Possessi&e

    which which whose

    that that

    We use who and whom for people, and which for thins.

    &r we can use that for people or thins.

    We use relative pronouns:

    ' a'ter a noun, to ma#e it "lear which person or thin we are talkin about:

    the house that (ack built

    the woman (ho discovered radium

    an eiht-year-old boy (ho attempted to rob a sweet shop

    'to tell us more about a person or thin:

    )y mother, (ho was born overseas, has always been a reat traveller.

    *ord Thompson, (ho is +, has #ust retired.

    We had fish and chips, (hi"h is my favourite meal.

    ut we do not use that as a s%!+e"t in this kind of relative clause.

    We use whose as the possessi&e form of who:

    This is eore, (hose brother went to school with me.

    We sometimes use whom as the o!+e"t of a verb or preposition:

  • 8/9/2019 Frases Preposicionales Frecuentes

    6/122

    This is eore, (hom you met at our house last year.

    This is eore!s brother, with (hom " went to school.

    ut no(adays we normally use who:

    This is eore, (ho you met at our house last year.

    This is eore!s brother, (ho " went to school with.

    When whom or which have a preposition the preposition can come at

    the !e)innin) of the clause...

    " had an uncle in ermany, 'rom who/m0 " inherited a bit of money.

    We bouht a chainsaw, (ith which we cut up all the wood.

    1 or at the end of the clause:

    " had an uncle in ermany who/m0 " inherited a bit of money 'rom.

    Facial expressions are a very important part of communication. Though nothing is said

    verbally, there is much to be understood about the messages we send and receive through

    the use of nonverbal communication, such as facial expressions.

    'he !mportance o( Facial ExpressionsCommunication involves both verbal and nonverbal forms of making sure our message is

    heard. When communicating with others, we often usefacial expressions. It is important

    to understand these more subtle signals as a larger part of the communication process. A

    simple smile may indicate that we are in agreement with a message or approve of the

    message being heard. Meanwhile, a scowl may indicate displeasure or disagreement with

    the message. Understanding facial expressions and their meaning is an important part of

    the communication process.

    Communication involves two or more people exchanging both verbal and nonverbal cues to

    reach a point of shared understanding. When communicating with another person, we

    typically use verbal communication (words and sounds) that we are accustomed to from our

    own language and experience. The communication process involves both a sender and a

    receiver. The sender is sending a message, and the receiver is hearing and seeing the

    message.

    This process is complicated by many factors, such as parties who are trying to

    communicate while speaking different languages. Other complications are often affected by

    the personal 'screens' we all process communication through. These screens include things

    like experience, faith, values, background, gender, education, and more. We both send

    messages and receive messages through these screens, making the ability to understand

    one another more difficult. Often we make assumptions about the message being

    communicated to us because of these screens. Another way in which we make

    assumptions is through observing, analyzing, and assigning meaning to the facial

    expressions we see in others.

    Facial Expressions

    In today's business world, much of our communication takes place via electronic methods

    such as email and text messages. Often, employees report that it is hard to understand the

    context or meaning behind a message that is received electronically. In person, this is often

    easier to do because of visual cues from facial expressions.

    Facial expressions include such actions as smiling, frowning, eye rolling, eye contact,

    scowling, and appearing bored or interested. Other facial expressions might indicate

    interest or excitement or even shock, like opening one's eyes or mouth widely. Winking

    might indicate that we are joking about the remark we made, or flirting with the person to

    whom we are speaking! Raising our eyebrows often indicates that we are surprised or do

    not believe the statement we are hearing.

    The interpretations we assign to these facial expressions vary greatly, so we must be

    careful when using them to prepare ourselves for the way in which they may be assigned

    meaning. Many of the facial expressions we make are ones we are accustomed to from our

    own cultural, familial, and business backgrounds. Because we understand facial

    expressions differently based on our background and experience, we can easily

    misunderstand the intent behind such nonverbal cues. Eye contact is an example of a facialexpression that can easily be misunderstood. Different cultures assign different meanings

    to eye contact. In America a moderate level of eye contact is expected in business dealings,

    while in other countries such as Libya, eye contact between men and women is impolite.

    Appropriate levels of eye contact differ by culture.
