Lesson 11
39. I think I should + (verb 1st form) + objects
In this pattern, you are telling someone that you feel strongly about doing a particular action.
Examples:
I think I should practice my reading.
I think I should join a study group.
I think I should explain myself.
By adding the word ' don't or do not ' you have changed what you are conveying from something you are thinking of doing, to something you are against.
Examples:
I do not think I should decide until later.
I don't think I should attend that event.
I do not think I should explain myself.
40. I've heard that + (a subject) + verb + objects
You are letting someone know that you are aware of something or that you have been informed of something that is taking place. This could be something that has already happened or something happening in the near future.
' I've ' is a contraction of the words ' I have '
Examples:
I've heard that you want to leave your job.
I've heard that you fix computers.
I have heard that there is no school next week.
41. It occurred to me that + (a subject) + verb + objects
The word 'occurred' informs someone that something has come to mind or has been found.
You are letting someone know that you suddenly have thought or remembered about something.
Examples:
It occurred to me that I forgot your birthday.
It occurred to me the / that price for homes are more expensive here.
It occurred to me that eating healthy makes me feel better.
In above, using the word ' had or has ' can change what you are saying to represent something remembered in a past time.
Examples:
It has occurred to me I forgot my daughter's birthday.
It had occurred to me I might need to change my email ID.
