Welcome Back Guys!

Tuesday 13^th January,

Hello and welcome to everybody!

Where’s Alex? I hope the zombies of your story didn’t get him!

Talking about the story, Marcos, could you please finish the story? We need an end!

We were a bit lost, so we started making questions and answers about frequency.

How often do you go to the hairdresser’s? I usually go once a month.

How often does your mum cook? She cooks every day.

How often does Sara have a holiday? She has a holiday twice a year. At Christmas and in summer.

Remember the position of adverbs of frequency:

Before the main verb	Danny hardly ever does housework.	George never goes to the dentist.	Mary usually does sport or exercise.
After the verb “to be”	Christine is never at home in the morning.
In questions, after the subject.	Is Liza often late for work?	Do you often buy flowers?
Expressions of frequency, at the end of the sentence.	Steve goes to the hairdresser’s twice a year.	Christian goes on holiday three times a year.	Miranda sees her best friend every weekend.

Then, we played ‘Bingo’ to revise the infinitive and past forms of irregular verbs.

Gonzalo said the verbs. He said the past form but on your bingo cards you had the infinitive. Marcos was very lucky! He first sang ‘Line? And then he had a ‘bingo’. He made a total of €700! As he is very generous, he gave his money away (donate/ give as a present)… to the teacher!

After this, we read about two transport inventions. A group read (pronunciation /red/ because it’s the past) about the ‘Penny-farthing’ and the other group read about ‘Stephenson’s Rocket’. 

While one of the groups was reading aloud, the other took notes and they later told us (reported) about what they understood. We, then compared these two inventions with the modern versions of them. Of course, we had to use comparative adjectives or adverbs.

   We remembered how to compare things.

		ADJECTIVE	COMPARATIVE	SUPERLATIVE
1-Syllable		hot long	hotter longer	the hottest  the longest
2 -syllable ended in “y”		dirty	dirtier	the dirtiest
	REST OF ADJECTIVES
1-syllable not ended in “y”		violent	more violent	the most violent
More than  2- syllable adj.		expensive	more expensive	the most expensive
		IRREGULAR
		good	better	the best
		bad	worse	the worst

And the same rule applies to adverbs.

		ADVERB	COMPARATIVE	SUPERLATIVE
1-Syllable		fast near	faster nearer	the fastest  the nearest
	REST OF ADVERBS
More than  2- syllable		slowly	more slowly	the most slowly
		IRREGULAR
		much / many	more	the most
		little/few	less	the least
		far	further/farther	the furthest /the farthest

Don’t forget to do homework!!!
