Hello everyone,

I’ve been away for a while because of a really amazing and important reason: three weeks ago I became a mother, now I have a lovely baby boy who takes up all my time and attention 🥰 but still he lets me get back to work, too.

👶 How about you?
Do you have children?

So, now I read a lot of things about children and would like to share some interesting things with you.

There are different words which we use when we speak about children.

Newborn refers to a baby from birth to about two months of age.

Today is Grammar Sunday.

HAVE SOMETHING DONE

We use have + object + -ed form when we talk about someone doing something for us which we ask or instruct them to do.

💇🏻‍♀️ Yesterday I went to the hairdresser’s and had my hair cut.
💅 I need to have my nails done.
👨‍🔧 I’m at the car service center now. I’m having my car fixed.
