Week 10 4th - 10th November 2013



Hello!

This week we have revised the “present simple”, vocabulary on physical appearance and used it to describe people.

We have studied the “present continuous”, compared it with the “present simple”, and used it to express what we are doing currently.

We have also revised word agreement and punctuation (remember that adjectives always keep the same form: a red car, some red cars) as well as “likes and dislikes” ( I love, I like, I don’t like, I hate ) and used it to express our likes and dislikes for both things and actions ( Example: I like cars / I like driving cars ).

Thank you for your participation and involvement. You did very well. Please, don’t worry about making mistakes. Remember that making mistakes is a part of the learning process.
