PAST TENSE

Most of verbs are regular. To form de affirmative past tense we add –ED or –D to the verb

Example:  

Help – helped
Smile – smiled

Rules
-       When there is a –Y after a consonant, we change it when adding –ed à -ied.
o   Try – tried                
o   Carry - carried

-       When we have one syllable verbs finishing with vowel and consonant, we double the final consonant
o   Stop – stopped
o   Plan – planned

To form the negative past tense we add DID NOT or DIDN´T + verb. WHEN YOU USE DIDN´T, YOU HAVE TO TAKE OUT –ED or  -D FROM THE VERB!!!!!!

Example:
I helped my mother
I didn´t help my mother.

To form the interrogative past tense we add DID + Subject + verb (WITHOUT –ED or –D)
Ø  There isn´t any difference between I, you, he, she, it, we, you, they. USE ALWAYS DID.

Example:
I helped my mother
Did I help my mother?

She smiled to the little boy
Did she smile to the little boy?

Time expressions:
-       Ago (one hour ago, a week ago, three days ago, two minutes ago, three hours ago, years, months….)
-       Yesterday
-       Last week, last month…. 

Example:
It´s six o´clock. Tom arrived an hour ago.

PROFESSIONS / JOBS



FRECUENCY ADVERBS (6º)


We use the frequency adverbs to answer the question “how often…? Or “how frequently…?”. 

We use the frequency adverbs to express habits and actions we do frequently. We use present simple tense.

The position of the frequency adverbs is BEFORE THE VERB, except verb to be.

Subject + frequency adverb + verb + complements

Subject + verb to be + frequency adverb +  complements

Example:
I always eat an apple in the morning

I am always on time in the classroom.






Examples:
-          I always come to school.
-          You often do the homework
-          She sometimes forgets the English books
-          He never speaks in English
-          We always do lots of exercises
-          They are sometimes lazy.



here you ´ve got a web page where you can listen to some sentences using frequency adverbs. There are some of them that we haven´t learnt at class, but it doesn´t matter. JUST LISTEN TO THEM!!

In addition, you´ve got a video explaining frequency adverbs. HAVE A LOOK!!

 

 

FASHION COMPLEMENTS

 

 

DO / DOES

REMEMBER!!

When I want to make a question I use the following formulae:

DO / DOES + SUBJECT+VERB+COMPLEMENTS +?

1.      Use DO with I, YOU, WE and THEY

2.      Use DOES with HE, SHE and IT.

IMPORTANT!! If you make a question with DOES, the verb has NOT got S!!!

             v       Does Peter read a book?
       X     Does Peter reads a book?

If you ask with do, answer with do!! 

If you ask with does, answer with does!!


EXAMPLES
Do you like sport? Yes, I do
Do they like sport? No, they don´t.
Does Chip like bones? Yes, he does
Does Trig like bones? No, he doesn´t



IMPORTANT!! If you make a negative sentence and you use DOES, the verb has NOT got S!!

Mary doesn´t like bananas
            X     Mary doesn´t likes bananas

 

 

COMPARATIVES, SUPERLATIVES.

COMPARATIVES “–ER”, “MORE”

We use the comparatives to compare two things, two people….
If the adjective has one  syllable, we add –ER to the adjective.
Example:
-          Fast --> faster
-          Small --> smaller
 
ADJECTIVE + ER + THAN

EX: The rabbit is faster than the tortoise 

RULES

-          If the adjectives ends in “-e” we add only “-r”
o   Nice --> nicer
o   EX: Maria is nicer than Pablo.

-          If one syllable adjective ends in vowel + consonant, we double the consonant before adding “-er” (except “w”)
o   Hot --> hotter
o   Big --> bigger
o   New --> newer
o   Ex: Valencia is hotter than Galicia

-          If adjectives with one or two syllables end in “y”, we changey” for “i” before adding “-er”
o   Dry --> drier
o   Easy --> easier
o   Heavy --> heavier
o   Ex: English is easier than Maths.

If the adjective has two, three syllables or more we addmore” + adjective (except if the adjective has two syllables and ends in “-y”).

o   Expensive --> more expensive
o   Boring --> more boring
o   Interesting --> more interesting.
o   Ex: A car is more expensive than a bike.

SUPERLATIVES “THE  – EST”, “THE MOST”

Superlatives denote the highest grade of a quality.
If the adjective has one  syllable, we add  THEEST to the adjective.

Example:
-          Fast --> The fastest
-          Small --> The  smallest

THE + ADJECTIVE + EST.

-          Ex. The rabbit is the fastest animal.

RULES

-          If the adjectives ends in “-e” we add only  -st”
o   Nice --> the nicest
o   EX: Maria is the nicest  girl in the class.

-          If one syllable adjective ends in vowel + consonant, we double the consonant before adding “-est” (except “w”)
o   Hot --> the hottest
o   Big --> the biggest
o   New --> the newest
o   Ex: Sevilla is the hottest  city in Spain

-          If adjectives with one or two syllables end in “y”, we changey” for “i” before adding “-er”
o   Dry --> the driest
o   Easy --> the easiest
o   Heavy --> the heaviest
o   Ex: English is the easiest  subject .
o    
If the adjective has two, three syllables or more we addthe most + adjective (except if the adjective has two syllables and ends in “-y”).

o   Expensive --> the most expensive
o   Boring --> the most boring
o   Interesting --> the most interesting.
o   Ex: Audi is the most expensive car.

VERY VERY VERY USEFUL VIDEOS!!!

HI PEOPLE!!

I have found some very useful videos!! They are in youtube. This is the link

http://www.youtube.com/user/ahoraentiendoingles#p/u/0/I2NkwNTqUBw

 

Accusative Pronouns

Hay que apreciar la diferencia que existe entre los pronombres personales (pintados con azul) y los pronombres acusativos (pintados con verde).

I love her.
She is writing a poem for you.
We dance salsa with him.
They dance with her.
You help me a lot.
He works in that hotel.
You saw us there.
He is here with you.

Entonces, la misma diferencia que existe entre "you" azul y "you" verde es la que existe entre "She" y "her", "I" y "me", etc. Usamos I, You, She, He, We, They cuando nos referimos al sujeto de la acción:

"She reads poems", es decir, quien ejecuta la acción, el sujeto de la acción, es "She".

En cambio, en "Julio loves her", el pronombre recibe el efecto de una acción ejecutada por otro; en este caso, ella es amada por Julio.


I-----me
You---you
He----him
She---her
It----it


We----us
You---you
They--them
