Week 12

This week we learned about the Direct Speech and the Indirect Speech. And also we learned how to change the direct speech from Indirect Speech.

The reported speech usually uses say or tell. If we use the verb say/tell, we have to mention the listener.

Here are some examples:


Direct Speech

will
She said, "I´ll teach English online tomorrow."

can
She said, "I can teach English online."

must
She said, "I must have a computer to teach English online."


Indirect Speech

would
She said "she would teach English online tomorrow."

could

had to
She said "she had to have a computer to teach English online."

Week 9



This week, we saw a little review of the themes we`ve been seeing.
Like: the past tense, past progressive, the use of since and for, prepositions, the passive voice, tag questions, infinitive and gerund and past perfect.

Also we saw Unit 7 named Lifelong learning. In that unit we saw about how to describe a teacher. Words like: patient, boring, knowledgeable, understanding, inspiring, frightening, open-minded.

In grammar we saw about the Habitual Past: Used to and Would.





Used to is to talk about about past habits and states which are no longer true. Would is to talk about past habits only, and verbs that are in action.

Both can be used when talking about a repetitive action in the past.
Example: When I was a kid I used to play at the park/When I was a Kid I would play at the park.

When the verb is static use used to.

Some Common Stative Verbs are: (used to)       Some Dynamic Verbs are: (used to/would)
live                                                                         go

love                                                                        cook
like                                                                         say
have                                                                       read
