SLA RESEARCH ON SELF-DIRECTION: THEORETICAL AND PRACTICAL ISSUES



59A. That's why, the third one...This is the past, I am trying to help you to remember the
past participle.
Drive is the present. Drove ...

60K. Draiven!

61 A. Driven, you say driven

62K. Ah, driven (a little laughter/. IfIhaddriven slow ...!wouldn't.....(writing the

sentence) Why am I writing in this way... ( a little laughter)

63A. Let's see, now check it with an example you have in your notes.

64K. IfIhad aha, if I... aha

65A. Are you right here?

66K. Yes.

67A. (reading from the notes) Ifhe had tried to leave the country.....he would have been

stopped at the frontier.

68K. !wouldhave... !wouldhave... No! !wouldhave ...No. I am wrong.

69A. Aha, what happened?

70K.Here. I am wrong here.

71 A. Mhm, let's see. Let's see another example... IfIfwe had found him earlier we could
have saved his life.
Ok Ifwe had found him earlier we might have saved his life. OK,
instead of
would.. Why are you wrong here?

72K. Why? Because I don't have the present perfect here.

73A. Ah, OK, then, that was what was missing.

74K. Then, I haven't understood it yet. I mean, not very well, not as I supposed I had. It

is not the same as....

75A. What is missing here?

76K. A verb in participle.

77A. Of course, like what verb?

78K. Some have.....(looking at me)help me!

79A. What happens is that here, you have to use the same verb, !wouldn't have had an
accident.
This isn't the main verb. The verb is this. This verb is "haber". He wouldn't
have had an accident. Haven't you used it?

80K. No

81 A. (realising her expression)Is it weird?

82K. It is funny.

83A.Is it? Ok. Look, this word is for the verb "haber" and this for the verb "tener". In
English this verb has two/

84K. Yes, yes

85A. senses

86K. two meanings, "haber" and "tener".

87A. Good, then, in this case, it happens that you have to put them together. Let's see. Do
it with a different ending. Don't put...mhm... to have an accident. Put “to have died”.

88K. But

89A. Put it. Change this, (reading) if I had driven slowly.... Put he wouldn't have died.

90K. He wouldn't have died.

91 A. He wouldn't have died, aha

92K.Aha, he wouldn't, this is right.

93 A. Aha , then, if you see, here you have have ....died and would, well, in this case
wouldn't. It is the same structure. It seems to be weird because here you are/
94K. again the
had

95A. Exactly, but if you use another verb, you will realise that it is the modal with the
present perfect. Then you have to use the past perfect here and the present perfect with a
