"Essential Grammar in Use", 3ª Edición en español

Here's the list of contents from the Cambridge grammar book that you should go over. Take some time during the Easter break to check which ones you have done, and which ones you still have to do -some of them correspond to things we haven't seen in class yet, though.

Second chance for First Conditionals!

If you missed the classes on conditionals and/or if you want to reinforce it, check with Jennifer, not our Jennifer at the EOI, but the online teacher who will send me to the dole queue ;)

Trying to remember

Read (and try to memorize) this story. A student from your class wrote it, using all the verbs in your list which are followed by to-infinitive. He made it up (=invented it) to try to remember the list of verbs: A story to remember

Question: have you noticed there are other uses of to-infinitive in the story? Send a comment with the 2 examples and explain why you use to-infinitive.

 Challenge: can you write a story using the verbs which are followed by "-ing"? E-mail it to me.

"Superlative" accommodation

Publish a comment with a superlative adjective about this photo (about the tree-house, the landscape, etc). Eg: this is the most beautiful house in the world.

Are you still having trouble using "will", "going to" and the present continuous with a future meaning. Did you know about the use of the "present simple" (that's right, the present simple) to talk about schedules?. Read these notes and do the exercises at the bottom of the pages.
