Winding up with the text

Next Friday at this time we will be having a short test to Check your knowledge about what we have done up until now.

We will start today's lesson with a quiz and some prize giving..

Then we will wind up the work with the text. Here is something we missed last time.

Verb forms

A lot of the text is written in the past tense

(simple past and pluperfect "had thought" etc.)

Please discuss Work out 56-57  on page 296-297

Remember the irregular forms of many verbs in the past-

both the simple past and the participle:-

DRIVE- DROVE- DRIVEN

GIVE- GAVE- GIVEN

HERE is a list of most irregular verb forms..

Loads of exercises available at:


agendaweb.org

verb exercises


past and past perfect

Let us look at the PAST PERFECT

Here are some examples from the text in the book:

page 6

He had been living for the past year...

He had flown out to New York

Page 7
He'd noticed

Page 8
They had had a year together
He had thought it through
He had told her about the job

Page 9
he'd always liked it

Why and when do we use this form?

We are going to watch the video from Agendaweb

http://www.agendaweb.org/verbs/past_perfect-exercises.html

Now turn to your neighbour and discuss when and where you use the PAST PERFECT.

The form of the Past perfect is easy to use
HAD   or 'D   + past participle

FINALLY let's get into the Gleerups Web. Many of you have still not done the Context + exercises there.
The words/phrases in the test are all taken from the two exercises there.

Moreover we will practise verbs using "Take"

Monday's lesson will be for revision
