Re: get + past participle

Hi, all
I'd like to ask you about using get + past participle in the sentences like that:

When are we going to get paid?
Pull over or you are going to get stoped in a different way. (I just made them up, so I may be wrong, but I think you get the point).

It looks to me that we have to use the passive voice here. So, the point I'd like to clarify is if this is correct to use the get + past participle construction instead of the passive construction in such sentences.
Can I use these to express the same idea?

When are we going to be paid?
Pull over or you are going to be stoped in a different way.

And is it OK if i use get + past participle in a formal writing?

Thanks in advance,
ND

Anon,

The get + past participle construction is very common and is actually a passive sentence.

For instance:

John got rubbed last night â John was the recipient of the action, that was the rubbing.

Mary got promoted to be the district manager last week. â Mary was the recipient of the promotion.

SUGAR AND BLOOD: SLAVERY IN TWO WORLDS
BY: ROLANDO CASELLA

    Between the early 1790s and the early 1820s, there was a difference in the way that slaves from the US and Brazil were treated. The slaves developed lawsuits against their masters in which, they argued for their right to be free. This essay will talk about three consistent themes from those arguments of the freedom suits: First, the urban slaves who sued their masters in the two countries sharing the common concepts of justice, freedom, and rights. Second, that Brazilian and U.S. lawyers both used Roman lawyers and Roman laws concerning slavery to defend slaves. Even though slavery did not undergo in most parts of Europe after the decline of the Roman laws, capitalist desires there encouraged and grew in other areas in thrill like the U.S. and Brazil. Third, the ways that slaves were treated in different situations in both Brazil and the U.S. Slavery involves the legal state of existing rights to the norm of property rights over things. The laws in the U.S. and Brazil were different from each other and the people were treated differently.
    In the U.S., only planters and private individuals owned slaves. In Brazil, besides the planter class, large plantations were owned by such religious orders as the Benedictine and Carmelite friars, who treated theirs really well. Also, there were slaves that belonged to the government. Brazilian slavery was everywhere, instead of in a few small places. In Brazil the sale of slaves from one master to another apparently was not as common as it was in the US. Brazil was known to have an extensive slavery system.
    Slavery in North America was very different than slavery in the rest of the Americas. In the first place, far fewer slaves were brought into what became the United States. Only around 500,000 slaves were brought in, compared to around 12 to 13 million that were imported into the Caribbean and South and Central America. Most of these slave imports to North America ended by 1770, except for a burst of activity by a few southern states after the American Revolution. Secondly, the fact that the English people had little experience with slavery in comparison to the Spanish and Portuguese, mainly said that they really didn't have any past experience. Initially, the first slaves in the Virginia colony were looked upon as workers rather than as property, and some of them were treated much like white indentured servants. The enslaved Africans often worked along side the indentured European laborers in the tobacco fields of the Chesapeake region. The Africans werenât especially valued, either. It was cheaper in the early years to bring in white laborers from England as indentured servants than to pay for slaves. And most whites looked upon Africans as morally and intellectually inferior, in any case.
    Brazilâs African slaves were treated as inferior to the white man, whether they were servants or free. Slavery was involved as a legal status, it reflected and included this same act as a part of its essence, which white men had practiced against Africans all along and before any statutes, had decreed it. There were at least three major traditional safeguards, which tended to protect the free Negro against being treated as an inferior. In the U.S. the Negro slaves were treated as products not human beings. Even if a black man or woman were free they would still be treated as if they were slaves. On the eve of the Civil War, the Jim Crow idea was one of many stereotypical images of black inferiority. A white southern man who saw a crippled, elderly black man dancing and singing created Jim Crow. Thomas Rice created Jim Crow, and he charcoaled his face and sang a song and danced. Jim Crow was the stereotype of a black man described in a nineteenth century song-and-dance act.
In the United States, State legislations such as the Labor Laws continued attempts made by workers to improve their positions in society, yet dismantled previous federal attempts to improve African-Americans positions through the Black codes and Grandfather laws. Between 1874 and 1896 a number of Labor Laws were passed to lessen working hours, regulate wages, and lessen the amount of women and child laborers. In Brazilâs Congress they passed variants of a constitutional amendment that would permit federal authorities to seize land from slave owners. The law prohibited landowners from holding workersâ documents or using control over their transportation to and from remote farms to imprison them.
    In the United States there were two types of slavery, one the storied domestic slavery of the towns, and the southern country seat, where the Negro was usually feeling kindly treated and loved as though one of the family. This type of slavery was most common along the Mason-Dixon line. The other type was determined by the large-scale enterprises in the cotton and rice fields in the âsouthernâ South, where absentee ownership was often the rule. People become slaves because they are poor, vulnerable
and their basic rights are not protected. Lack of access to work, land, education and lack of enforcement of laws prohibiting the holding of people in bondage result in slavery. Slavery provides âemployersâ with a form of extremely cheap labor, which they will fight, to hold onto. The only option is to pledge their labor to repay their debt. Some resort to selling one of their children. People who are enslaved are usually unaware that they have legal rights to freedom or are unable to take action to defend their rights, because of the threat of violence. In Brazil there is 4 different types of slavery, bonded labor, forced labor, child labor, and sexual misuse of children.
Brazil never had anything similar to the Black Code and other legal prohibitions of contacts of races by marriage and intermarriage such as were very frequent elsewhere in the U.S. âIt takes a new look at the meanings slaves and masters drew from formal wedding ceremonies and celebrations, and examines marriages between slaves and free blacks as well as marriage between slavesâ(Will). In Brazil a slave who wished to marry first had to learn the requisite number of prayers, understand the confession, and receive the sacraments. Having received consent from Master, he is to be married by the vicar. In the U.S. a slave might marry a freeman. If husband was free and wife was a slave, their child would be a slave; but a slave father and a free mother produced a free child. Sacredness of marriage was more highly regarded in Brazil than the U.S. In the U.S. it was illegal for a slave to marry, own property, appeal to court, or be a witness. Black slaves and free blacks alike could not vote, testify in court against a white person, or marry a white person. Slaves were allowed neither to carry arms nor to leave their homes without written permission. The Brazilian slavesâ marriage was sanctified, had legal rights, and could appeal to court, own things, make money, and could buy freedom. The religious feeling has also favored crossbreeding, and it was very common among the colonists. The legislation and the strength of the public opinion in Brazil with reference to marriage and intermarriage is also important. In the U.S., the slave might marry on the plantation, but the very next day be sold, and separated from his wife and parents.
    In both countries, there were certain religions that the slaves had to follow. Many people in Brazil gave emphasis to the religion of Catholicism with its doctrine of essential equality of mankind and its estimation of racial principle that tends to hinder action. Many Protestant countries influenced by modern missionaries have adopted this position of Catholicism. The Church insisted that the marriage ties of the slave be respected, and that the master never forget the slaveâs status as a human being with an immortal soul. That paralleled the concern of the Church by the active interference of royal officials in matters of slave welfare. In the U.S., the Protestants had eradicated the slavesâ old religions, to control and rationalize them. It was always about race and saying the slaves were inferior. The lack of civil law slave code did not mean that the church exercised authority in the regulation of slavery. The 1705 Law stated that all blacks, mulattoes, and Native Americans, and all non-Christian persons brought into the colonies as servants (even if they converted to Christianity later) and were considered slaves. In Brazil state and religious bodies owned slaves. âThe Catholic Church tried to Christianize the blacks, looking for extirpating a tradition milenar. Even so, the black resisted to the domain of the white culture maintaining their faith, and adapting their rituals and transforming their religion in a contemporary realityâ(PARAÃSO). The Catholics in Brazil treated the slaves better since they thought their souls were equal. They believed that all people could and should receive sacraments, marriage, host, and blessings and also allowed African traditions to continue. Religion was a vital factor in slave life. In the Old South, religion was at first discouraged among the slaves. There was a reason for this, for masters knew that nowhere in Christian teachings were there provisions for enslaving Christians. Sometimes the Negroes were allowed to worship under the same roof as their white superiors, but they usually had to steal away to some secret place for this purpose. In Brazil, however, Christianization of the slaves was an essential.
    In master-slave relationship, intimacy, cordiality and the masterâs protection of the slave were maintained as long as the slave stayed in his âplaceâ. In the absence of individual juridical status, the slaves exercised their social identity through their relationship with the master, attempting to negotiate, within the context of white power, individual or collective spaces of autonomy or social promotion, or even their freedom. His master could liberate him during his life. In the U.S. the ultimate controlling factor, that is, in every relationship between white men and black will be the black manâs status as property. Hypodescent is the practice of determining what ethnicity a child of mixed race is, by assigning it the ethnicity of the minority parent. It has always been the cornerstone of the U.S. racial classification system. Hypodescent does several things necessary for the maintenance of strict and rigid racial division. First, it has effectively arranged the U.S. into easily discernable racial groups â no middle ground. Second, it eliminates African ancestry from the white population â African ancestry that in secret makes its way into the white population is unacknowledged. Third, it discourages intermarriage. This is not to say that interracial sex can involve use or simple pleasure â it does not necessarily mean respect or friendship. âIt is said that the Jews and the black slaves had a secret relationship in Brazil, though it has been ignored by bothâ(Levin).
    The women in both Brazil and the U.S. were treated differently. In the U.S. the owners raped the women. In Brazil, the women were raped but there was also a lot of marriages between Africans and whites. âWhat he labels sexual, she labels harassmentâ(Baldwin). The black slave women really couldnât say anything the people would only believe the white man. There was a shortage of white women so there was a lot of mixing. Besides the heavy work, the women slaves were forced to assist sexually with the masterâ(Florentino). If a Negro woman had brought 10 children into the world by virtue, her tenth child would become free. Because of their interests in the physical reproduction of human capital, slave-owners intervened in even the most intimate of slave family ties.
    America and Brazil had very different ways to become free. It was easier to become free in Brazil, and the liberation of slaves was widely practiced. There were different rules to become a free citizen. Among the legal restrictions placed on free blacks, there was the 1717 Connecticut Law that required aspiring black business owners to get official permission to open shop. During the Reconstruction period, reconstituted southern state governments passed "black codes" that shortened the rights of the newly freed slaves. 259,000 free persons represented 9% of Brazilâs total free population. âNo one shall be held in slavery or servitude. Slavery and the slave trade shall be prohibited in all their formsâ (Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Article 4).
In 1696 the comprehensive code outlined severe penalties for a variety of offenses committed by blacks and excused any whites that caused the death of a slave while carrying out a punishment. Legal standing of African Americans in North America has changed over time, varying according to history and place. As black laborers gradually replaced white indentured servants as the principle source of agricultural labor during the second half of the 17th century, laws were being introduced, reducing slavery as a race-based system to a code. For elderly blacks, this practice benefited the company for whom older slaves were a liability rather than an asset.
    During the turn-of-the-century, the South was funding for education. Education there had been at rock bottom and whites were fiercely opposing African-American schooling. By 1867, schools had been set up in even the most remote counties of each of the confederate states. Most children never had the opportunity to attend school with any regularity, since they begin working in the fields around the age of ten or twelve. âA child cannot be taught by anyone who despises him, and a child cannot afford to be fooledâ(Baldwin). Girls were more likely to get a formal education than boys were, because of the greater demand for male field labor. African-Americans have had a respect for education since the first communities of black slaves were established in this country. Slaves and their teachers assumed frightening risks when they created secret schools where a few blacks could learn to read. By the 1830s, it was a criminal offense in most Southern states to teach a slave to read or write. âEducation is indoctrination if you're white - subjugation if you're blackâ(Baldwin). There is an unbroken historical link between the newly freed slaves who fought for universal state-supported public schools in the South and the black mothers and fathers who from the 1950s through the 1980s sent their children in search of a better education on foot and in school buses into the teeth of hostile and sometimes violent white resistance.
    In the 20th century, most blacks in the South remained bound to whites as sharecroppers or tenant farmers. Few blacks owned, or even managed to rent land, so they remained poverty-stricken and propertyless, both dependent on and subordinate to whites. Even then, complained one planter, sharecropping "is wrong policy; it makes the laborer too independent; he becomes a partner, and has a right to be consulted." In Brazil, some of the slaves were able to own their own land. When blacks were freed in America, they really didnât have much to do since all they knew was to work in the fields.
    Much more research needs to be done concerning the concepts of race, laws and ethnicity in the United States and Brazil. Research, which ignores the class-like properties of racial classification and definition, overlooks a significant part of the social landscape of Brazil and the U.S.

Please, I've split letters. Could one help me with correcting errors?

Dear all,

English is not my native language and I do not come across to write compositions every day, my strong skill are figures. Please, help, I'm looking to your comments.

Future plans.

First of all Iâd like to stress that I do not intend to change my career direction dramatically. Iâve made my mind to focus on Accountancy and Financial Management. I bent on continuing my promotion in construction business also. My interest about construction sphere was initiated from the university. My university term papers were devoted to complex issues as are Investment Analysis and Leasing.

The accountancy in construction sphere is considered to be the most complicated in comparison to other branches. Each building is an unique creation and it demands its unique contract with discriminative terms of financing. The cost accumulation and division them inside project and between other projects is a challenge that why one needed to be experienced and intelligent sufficiently. Recording figures, measuring and reporting are an excellent foundation for analysis.

Iâm oriented to concentrate on accountancy and financial management in residential construction. I work in the Russian branch of the Finish Construction Company NCC International OY. Previously the company was engaged mostly in industrial construction and succeeded in several significant projects in Saint-Petersburg. Now our high-positioned managers are determined to develop real estate business in Russia due to long term perspective.

I want to go on learning Finish language. Iâve chosen it for having opportunity to practice it and I reckon it is a worth occupation for spare time. Finish language distinguishes from other linguistic groups and I prefer it for it complication.

Consulting service or teaching the accountancy as a subject at a university is also seemed attractive to channel my professional skills. Frankly speaking, conducting a research doesnât appeal to me now. I realize I havenât sufficient practical materials and havenât formed certain theme in my mind. By learning in England-country with long economic history and strong the accountancy as a subject background- a degree would be the definite next step to my preferences. I suppose it might help me with comprehension of principals in accountant science on the international stage.

I am open for traveling and becoming acquainted with new people. In spite all facts Iâd like to stay family girl and supportive to my relatives.

I am open for traveling and becoming acquainted with new people. In spite all facts Iâd like to stay family girl and supportive to my relatives.

Purpose statement

I have been dreaming about studies abroad for so long but there was always a circumstance that interferes in my initiation to apply. For example, I couldnât identify clearly for myself what sphere in economics really interests me or I didnât fully satisfy the terms for applying. Now Iâm determined to devote part of my life for studying after I have graduated from the university. Iâm experienced enough in accountancy and finance of construction business to say what Iâd like to know in details nowadays and what kind of knowledge will be useful in future with correspondence to present. Iâve been gradually choosing the direction in my profession to achieve position which is appealed to my willing.

I have graduated with BA degree in Accountancy, Analysis and Audit from Petrozavodsk State University in June 2002). I successfully obtained high marks in most of the courses. My career objective is to work in financial sector of construction companies. Iâve got familiar with laws and regulations regarding taxation aspects during my working in the tax inspections. Iâm experienced in keeping the all segments of accounting and financial operations according with Russian legal system in favor for my occupation on the site-constructions. I comprehended the structure, characteristics of costs in construction from the earth works to roof and asphalt works. I had a view of the effective methods to organize cash and documents flows under tough pressure of time schedule.

Russia is a country with not long story of liberal economic principals. Construction market is a part of economic which develops rapidly. People are now making much efforts to change their living conditions precisely to increase (broad) their âsquare metersâ. Moreover, real estate business is now a safety and profitable opportunity to invest money. As for rules in legislation, taxation and accountancy aspects they havenât been fully established yet. I face each day difficulties to refer expenses with their real nature, Russian legislation and foreign demands. Finding an answer and solution takes much time even after there could be some changes. Participatory dwelling construction and mortgage loan activity are issues have appeared several years ago and correspondingly accountancy and financial policy is complicated item in a company. Therefore Iâm interested in studying foreign statements in Accountancy and Financial management. By getting theoretical basement Iâll develop my existing knowledge and comprehension of essence of significant items in companyâs cash flows and analyzing the financial performance of a firm. Also it could provide new professional skills in making unique business solutions in practice.

Leadership

Apart from studying and working I am always fond of something else. I can not say that Iâve achieved the highest results but I While studying at school I attended sport classes. I was a member of the school volleyball team and won several competitions in our region. I used to be good at athletics and was the first in some gymnastic meets. To be honest professional sport activity didnât correspond with my future plans but it was possibility to find goal-oriented friends who share one interest and to develop such physiological features as liberty, determination, persistence in winning.

The brightest example to reflect my leadership skills is my job as project accountant on the site-construction. *****was the main contractor of the construction an electronic plant **** for one year. There were employed about 100-200 builders each day. Time schedule was tough and rapid. I was one girl who was responsible for taxes and payments. At the beginning there was a cost-controller but in the middle of construction he left and I had to divide with the project manager also that obligations for a Client. I learned to negotiate with top-managers and supervisors of different companies and to eliminate negative emotions about short delays in payments or acceptance of done works. Proceeds of checking-up contracts, invoices were complicated and demanded the approval of several managers because of much money

In the end of the project I stayed alone with several engineers and handled not only âmoney issuesâ but also administrative and supply questions.

Recommendation 1

I have known ****since autumn 2004 when she joined ***for the project of construction an electronic plant in ****. ***has been chosen as a prime contractor. During the one year and an half she has been employed firstly as a book-keeper of the site-construction of the plant and then she was also invited for a new project of construction ****. I have been her financial director. Based on my knowledge of her professional abilities and character, I recommend her without reservation.

In spite of the fact that *** had never worked before in a foreign company and on the site construction she had adapted quite well with responsibilities and her duties. She got well along with other employees. Working on the site is a hardship activity distinguished with intensive time schedule and enormous number of documents and subcontractors. **** showed herself as person who was able to execute duties properly under pressure. She was responsible for financial and reporting issues according with Russian legislation and internal financial controlling demands in the foreign construction company. Partly she also took part in controlling of the costs on the site construction before a Client and management. She accepted all challenges cheerfully and her role and during the proceed of construction was effective..

After finishing the first project she was invited for the second one. Taking into account that the construction site was bigger and her tasks was a little different from the previous one ****coped with changes and new people who were also involved in financial and accounting circulation well..

From my experience working with *** I can conclude that she is a gifted and motivated girl. She ahs a good professional skills and well versed in accountancy and regarded to it Russian laws. She can work hard enough and take responsibility for complicated tasks. Describing ***âs person I can say â¦â¦

Therefore, I am sure that she will fulfill all requirements and expectations from the English students and make a very good contribution for the discussions during the study. Knowing **** as a interested girl in her occupation, I can conclude that she would be active student. Moreover, taking into account her activities in the public life, I would foretell that she will be successful not only in the study, but after all also in the practical implementation of the acquired knowledge.

Sincerely,

Hello Dean,

Your grammar is fine. Here are some thoughts:

I would prefer "effects" to "impacts."

I think "every country" isn't necessary if you are saying "worldwide" (or vice versa.)

The "Therefore, there" construction is awkward.

Are "the negative impacts" already discussed? The "the" implies that they have been, but you said it's a topic sentence, so I think perhaps not.

Repeating "pharmeceutical promotion" probably isn't necessary.

You could combine it into one sentence.

Here's just one suggestion of how you could rewrite it: Studies have shown that doctors and patients are (both?) exposed to negative effects from pharmaceutical promotion, leading to a need for effective controls of such promotion across the globe.
