Something in your home has stopped working. How can you explain what needs doing? Use need + -ing to describe a necessary job: “The tap needs fixing.” “The window needs cleaning.” “The battery needs replacing.” The thing before “needs” receives the action. The tap does not fix anything: someone needs to fix it. Compare: “I need to clean the window.” “The window needs cleaning.” Your turn: complete each sentence with the correct form. 1. The door needs ___ (paint). 2. I need to ___ (replace) the battery.

Do you know about the origins of your language? In this post I am going to talk briefly about the origins of my language, Pashto/ Pashtu or Pukhto. There are two contending theories regarding the origins of Pashto. One theory suggests that Pashto is basically a Jewish language. They support this idea with historical and religious traditions from the Bible suggesting that Pashtuns are a lost tribe of Jews. The second theory argues that Pashto belongs to the Indo-European branch of languages. Linguistic studies of Pashto in 19th and 20th century supports this view. Tell me about your languages too!
