Thursday 17th May

During this class we reviewed the meaning and use of the present simple and present continuous. We learnt that we mainly use the present simple tense to talk about habits and routines, but when something changes in our normal life, we talk about these changes using the present continuous tense.

I often go to the gym after English classes, but  today I'm staying at home.

We completed a text from p.98 with the present simple forms and then we read another one written in the present continuous. We compared both texts and check that the first made reference to Nigel's working life (routine) and the second to Nigel on holiday (extraordinay).
To comsolidate these two verb froms we completed some pairs of sentences with the correct tense(ex.5, p.99).

We finished the class studying new vocabulary. First, opposite verbs (p.102) and then, some common expressions used to explain how we feel and what the problem is (EVERYDAY ENGLISH p.103).

Homework: WB Unit 13 ex.8,9,10.
                   Read the text on p.105
