[1ESO] Modal verbs: CAN, MUST, SHOULD

Repasamos ahora estos tres verbos modales en nuestro cuaderno y nuestro libro; tenemos un esquema aquí y también en nuestro blog (con unos cuantos ejercicios para practicar).

[1BCH] Relative clauses

First of all, you should review our former post about the relatives (use, pronouns and adverbs, types of clauses, omission…), where you will find grammar explanations at different levels, a lot of exercises, rephrasing practice and even tests at four different levels. After that, you can watch the BBC video above. (Of course, you can send me screenshots of your work).

[1ESO] Present Simple vs Present Continuous

Después de repasar el Present Simple y el Present Continuous, vamos a practicar un poco más la diferencia entre ambos.

[1BCH] Reported Speech

Let’s review all we know from former years… First, review the basics (at 2ESO level). Then review what we learn last year and watch the video as a summary. Finally, do as many exercises on the blog as you need until Wednesday. (You can send me screenshots. Don’t worry, you’ll do the exercises on your book as the next task 😁)

[1ESO] [1BCH] Interactive Student

Quiero recordaros una vez más (después de todas las que lo habré dicho en clase) que todos los alumnos que llevan libros de Burlington tienen acceso al Interactive Student, que les ofrece apoyo adicional online directamente relacionado con el método que estamos usando en el aula.

Phrasal verbs

Phrasal verbs are usually two-word phrases consisting of verb + adverb or verb + preposition. Think of them as you would of any other English vocabulary. Study them as you come across them, rather than trying to memorize many at once. Use the list below as a reference guide when you find an expression that you don’t recognize. The example sentences will help you understand the meanings. If you think of each phrasal verb as a separate verb with a specific meaning, you will be able to remember it more easily. Like many other verbs, phrasal verbs often have more than one meaning.

Passive

Utilizamos la voz pasiva cuando nos interesa resaltar el objeto de la acción y no el sujeto (porque no sabemos quién es o porque no es relevante); por tanto, sólo podremos hacer la pasiva cuando haya un objeto, es decir, cuando el verbo sea transitivo.

El objeto del verbo en activa se convertirá en sujeto pasivo y el sujeto del verbo en activa se convertirá en agente (precedido de “by” -por-). El verbo se pone en pasiva utilizando el mismo tiempo del verbo BE más el participio de dicho verbo.
