Tuesday 27th March

We continue studying the past tense of the verb to be: was/were. To start with, the students have to ask questions to their classmates about their age, the date and place of birth.

Then, we listen to Magalie talking about her family and the students have to note down the year when they were born, besides, they need to pay attention to the family relationships. (t.9.6). After that, they ask and answer questions about Magalie's family. To finish with this topic, the students receive an incomplete photocopy with pictures of famous people on it. They need to complete it asking basic questions in the past form, like:
-Who was he/she?
-When was he/she born?
-Where was he/she born?
-What was his/her job?
In the next section, we focus on some pictures of famous people and match the professions and the names, then we listen to their dates of birth and complete the gaps with the information.

We finish the class writing the negative form of the verb to be in the past wasn't/weren't. We have to correct some incorrect information about the people from the book and then we talk about today and yesterday, and we can compare the use of the present/past form of the verb to be.
