Or should employers make workers spend their entire work day in the office?This has been a major discussion in the business world since the Covid pandemic changed the way we work. There are arguments on both sides of the debate.

In order to talk about this topic, we need to understand and know how to use causative grammar. In this episode, we will focus on the causative “make” and “let”, while in Friday’s bonus episode we will discuss “have” and “get”.Let’s practise this grammar and discuss remote work and company policies in this episode of Thinking in English Grammar!GRAMMAR STUDY PACK - https://www.patreon.com/thinkinginenglish/shop/causative-grammar-thinking-in-english-1427408?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=productshare_creator&utm_content=join_linkTRANSCRIPT - https://thinkinginenglish.blog/2025/05/05/should-companies-let-employees-work-from-home-causative-grammar-english-grammar-lesson/My LinksAD Free Main Episodes - https://open.spotify.com/show/6gSPOxNCijMq2hTJW8tyx4?si=e7e195bbfae84b6b⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Patreon - ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/thinkinginenglish⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Thinking in English Bonus Podcast - ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/collection/10513⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠NEW YOUTUBE Channel!!! - ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@thinkinginenglishpodcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠INSTAGRAM - thinkinginenglishpodcast (⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/thinkinginenglishpodcast/⁠⁠⁠⁠) ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Blog - ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.thinkinginenglish.blog⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Borough by Blue Dot SessionsContact advertising@airwavemedia.com to advertise on Thinking in English.Thinking in English is part of the Airwave Media podcast network.

Learning vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation are obviously difficult tasks, but I think something else can be just as challenging.Context and culture.Words and grammar are not the only way that we communicate. The world isn’t always direct and clear. In fact, some cultures and parts of the world rely extensively on context to communicate meanings.Today, we are going to discuss culture and context in language learning. We’ll discuss low-context cultures, high-context cultures, and how this affects English learning and English usage!TRANSCRIPT - https://thinkinginenglish.blog/2025/04/14/334-high-context-vs-low-context-cultures-why-context-matters-in-english-learning-english-vocabulary-lesson/AD Free Episode - https://www.patreon.com/thinkinginenglishMy Links Patreon - ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/thinkinginenglish⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Thinking in English Bonus Podcast - ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/collection/10513⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ YOUTUBE Channel!!! - ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@thinkinginenglishpodcast⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠INSTAGRAM - thinkinginenglishpodcast (⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/thinkinginenglishpodcast/⁠⁠⁠⁠) ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Borough by Blue Dot SessionsContact advertising@airwavemedia.com to advertise on Thinking in English.
