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

Week 8

This week we saw some words to describe a place, or an image such as:
At the bottom, in the middle, in the top, in the foreground, in the background etc.

For example:
In the middle of the picture, there is a little mountain, in the top there are the clouds and the sky looks blue and yellow with orange, in the foreground there are beautiful flowers with beautiful colors.
