Revision: Present simple

Present simple. Review and activities 

Now, it's time to talk about our routines, for that, let's use the present simple tense. I recommend to read all the presentation and do all the activities, however, it will be good for you to do it in more than one day.

CLICK HERE

Present Simple

 1. We use the present simple to talk about things in general. We are not thinking only about the present. We use it to say something happens all the time or repeatedly, or that something is true in general.

The earth goes round the sun.
Nurses look after patients in hospitals.
In Britain most of the shops close at 5.30 pm.
I work in a school. She works in a shop.

2. We use "do/does" to make questions and negative sentences in the present simple.

Do you know how to spell that word?
Does she understand Spanish?
I don't remember her name.
He doesn't work here any more.
What does CLEVER mean?
Where do you live?

3. We use the present simple when we say how often we do things (habitual actions). Note that frequency adverbs are placed before the (main) verb, EXCEPT if the verb is TO BE.

I get up at 9.00 every morning.
How often do you go to the gynecologist?
Ann doesn't often drink coffee.
When I have some spare time I usually read books
We seldom travel abroad.
They always bring flowers.
We are never at home in the mornings.

Clothes: vocabulary

WHAT ARE YOU WEARING? CLOTHES VOCABULARY

Can you describe the clothes you are wearning at the moment?A good help can be the following worksheet in which there are pictures of some typical clothes:

TIPS TO REMEMBER 

  • WEAR means llevar puesto (I'm wearing a tracksuit)
  • CARRY means llevar, transportar (I'm carrying a school bag)
  • PUT ON means ponerse. TAKE OFF means quitarse
  • GET DRESSED means vestirse. GET UNDRESSED means desvestirse
  • NAKED means WITH NO CLOTHES (desnudo). BAREFOOTED means WITH NO SHOES (descalzo)
  • TO BE DRESSED TO KILL means something like BEING REALLY GORGEOUS: de punta en blanco

  • When describing clothes, don't forget to write adjectives before nouns: A RED SKIRT, A SILK SHIRT (note that materials are also adjectives and don't need preposition in English:  una camisa de seda in Spanish: a silk shirt (CAMISA DE SEDA), or a wool sweatshirt (un jersey de lana)). That is, we never use the prepositon OF.

All sorts of Adjectives



Placing adjectives in a natural sounding word order

An adjective modifies a noun or a pronoun by describing, identifying or quantifying words. However, in English it is common to use more than one adjective before a noun. When this happens, you have to put them in the right order.
The basic types of adjectives are:

OPINION - SIZE - AGE - SHAPE - COLOUR - ORIGIN - MATERIAL - PURPOSE

Getting to Know Each Other



What's in a Name?

 "A rose by any other name would smell as sweet" is a popular reference to William  Shakespeare's play Romeo and Juliet, in which Juliet seems to argue that it does not matter that Romeo is from her family's rival house of Montague, that is, that he is named "Montague". The reference is often used to imply that the names of things do not affect what they really are.

 Names of people do not affect what people are like either, or do they?

 What's behind a name?

 My name is Ana, and I am pretty happy with my name.
Are you happy with your name?
Are you named after someone? Why did your parents choose your name?
Does your name have a meaning?
Do you have a nickname? If so, what is it and how did you get it?
Find out what Meryl Streep & Nicole Kidman have to say about their names origins.


Let's get to know each other better then!
Tell me, what are you like?
