Hello guys!

As you know, we're going to be studying from home for some weeks. But we need to keep listening to English! So, to make things easier, here you have a lesson on grammar, starring your teacher and your favourite big fat cat:

Your homework are explained in the video, so check it out! They will count for your final mark 😉 You can do them in a Word document and send them via email, or do them in your notebook and send a picture of them (with good quality, please!) to the same mail 😀

Remember to check the forum in the virtual classroom (your parents have an email about it!). If you have any doubts, you can post them there or write an email to englishcandavera@gmail.com

Unit 4: Great Holidays. Grammar!

In this unit, we work with the Present Continuous. This verbal tense is used:

• For things that are happening now, at the moment of speaking: "I am reading this blog."
• For things that are temporary, that will finish soon: "This month, I am leaning the present continuous."

We form the present simple putting the subject (I, you, s/he/it, we, they), the verb to be in present form (am, are, is) and the verb+ing:

Easy, right? Here you have some exercises to practice it:

Begginers: Set 1, Set 2

Advanced: Set 1, Set 2

Unit 3: It's a thrill. Grammar!

In this unit, we are learning how to express future events in English. First of all, it is very important to understand the difference between time and tense. Time is an universal concept, a human perception that is divided (generally) in past, present and future. Tense, on the other hand, is a linguistic concept that is seen as a reflection of time in speaking. Nevertheless, these two concepts are not always equivalent. For example, if I say:

"My train leaves at 9.00 am tomorrow."

I am talking about tomorrow, that is, future, but using a present tense. In this case, time and tense are not equivalent.

It is important to understand this, and to learn in which ways time and tense differ in the languages we speak - since Spanish and English are not always perfect translations of each other. For example, we have an Spanish equivalent to the English be going to ("voy a"), but we do not have any equivalent to the use of present continuous with future value.

Knowing this, we can dive into the verbal tenses we'll need to pass the exam with flying colors!

Will vs. be going to

The rules are pretty simple:

uWe use will + the base form of the verb to form the Future Simple.

uWe use am, is or are + going to + the base form of the verb to form be going to.

And there you have some exercises to practice it!

Begginer: Set 1, Set 2, Set 3

Intermediate: Set 1, Set 2, Set 3

Advanced: Set 1, Set 2, Set 3

Future continuous vs. Future perfect simple

The rules are simple too:

uWe use will + be + verb + -ing to form the Future Continuous.

uWe use will + have + the past participle to form the Future Perfect Simple.

And here you have some exercises to practice it!

Advanced: Set 1, Set 2, Set 3
