Story of "Diesel" jeans

"Diesel" is an Italian clothing company, its owner is Renzo Rosso.

This company became be famous with their jeans and their advertising campaigns. 

The first Diesel's shop was opened in the 1991. So we can say that the brand was born more than 20 years ago.

At the beginning, "Diesel" was a little company, but with their original ideas about the advertising and making jeans, a garment that everybody wear (children, teenagers, adults...), it was quickly famous, although the mark always has had little and medium factories around the world.

In conclusion, I think that the Diesel's jeans are so popular because the factory knew how to publish their products and jeans are so comfortable, useful and simple.

TOO-ENOUGH

·TOO: Is used to indicate more than necessary.

It is followed by and adjective or an adverb.

If we use too with a noun, we use:

-Too many (countable) or too much (uncountable)

In a rephrasing with too we use the word TO between the sentences of the rephrasing to express objective.

-

Example: I can´t heard you, this place is too noisy.

·ENOUGH: Is used to indicate that is sufficient or not.

It is behind the adjective or the adverb which is talking. (Adverb/adjective + enough).

In a rephrasing we use TO, like with too.

-Example: The apartment is big enough for four people, but isn´t big enough for six.

THANKS FOR READING!

SO-SUCH

·SO: Emphasizes an adjective, an adverb or a noun.                                             (SO+ADJETIVE/ADVERB).

When we use so in a rephrasing (connecting two sentences), we used to put the word THAT between the sentences to express the consequence.

-Example: I was tired. I went to bed at nine o´clock. à I was so tired that I went to bed at nine o´clock.

(*That can be omitted in some sentences*)

·SUCH: It emphasizes too. But it structure is different.

(SUCH+A/AN+ADJECTIVE+NOUN).

In a rephrasing we use that too.

-Example: The book was so good that I can´t put it down. à It was such a good book that I can´t put it down.

Passive voice

In English we use the passive voice when the subject is not the doer of an action.

When it happens, we put the receiver of an action as the subject and the doer of an action as the object.

For example:

Mike wrote a letter. à A letter was written by Mike.

To form a verb in the passive voice we follow the next structure:

TO BE + PAST PARTICIPLE
