2A & 2B: March 26th class

Hi! How are you?

I hope you had two nice terms and are plenty of energy for this last term.

Well, after having checked the homework let's start with our class.

In this unit we are revising the Modal verbs so let's remember some of them!

CAN - CAN'T

COULD - COULDN'T

MUST

MUSTN'T

SHOULD - SHOULDN'T

THEORY:

Remember when to use them HERE.

You also have to remember that Modals are different from normal verbs:

1: They don't use an 's' for the third person singular. (She can speak German)
2: They make questions by inversion ('she can go' becomes 'Can she go?')3: They are followed by verb without 'to' (They can swim for one hour/ They want to swim)

Short summary:

CAN - ability

COULD - past (podia) and conditional (podria) of "can"

MUST - obligation

MUSTN'T - prohibition

SHOULD - recommending

PRACTISE:

A) Which one would you use for each picture?

1 year ago

B) Let's mime to practise these modal verbs.

VOCABULARY

In this unit we are also studying food. Let's learn some meat vocabulary.

Let's match all together the type of meat witht the appropriate animal (I'll ask it in the exam):

beef - lamb - pork - chicken ............................................................... hen - sheep - cow - pig

OK. GOOD JOB GUYS! SEE YOU NEXT CLASS!

ADG March 26th class.

Hi guys!

I hope you had a nice course and still have energy for this third (and last) term.

Well, after having checked the Reading exercises for today we are going to focus on Grammar.

As Marina told me we are going to go on with the Passive voice (Past tense).

THEORY

We will have a look to this presentation which illustrates how to change the active voice into passive. Pay attention to the P.V in Past.

A) Practise Passive voise in Past Simple HERE, HERE and HERE.

B) Read these active sentences and change them into the passive voice in your notebook. Then, we will correct them. If you have any doubt while doing the exercise please do not hesitate asking me:
