Now, fix the sentence. Write it in the Let´s talk section to get corrections from
your teacher and classmates.

R) I never eat sardines.

Language building

Complete the paragraph with the PRESENT SIMPLE of the verbs below.

You must use some verbs more than once. Do it in your
notebook.Checkyouranswers in theAnswerkey.

Mr. Jones lives in a small town. Every day he “wakes up” at 7

o’clock. He “have” breakfast and then he“walks” to
school. He is a teacher. His students “likes” him very much
because he is very nice. They “reads” to him carefully during
classes. Mr. Jones also “likes” his work very much. He finishes
work at 3 o’clock and “walks” back home. Mr. Jones
“lives” with his wife and his two children. In the evening they
often “watches” a film together. They “have” dinner at
8 o’clock in the evening. Usually they “have” a soup and a salad,
 which Mr. Jones prepares. The children “helps” him because they
both like cooking.
 
o Adverbs of frequency

They modify the main verb to tell you how frequent activity happens.

E.g.:  I always go shopping on Saturdays.

           I usually wear perfume.

           I rarely wear sunglasses.

           I never eat sardines.

Place of adverbs

Adverbs go between the subject and the main verb.

Ex. We seldom see the sunrise here.

BUT…

When the main verb is BE (am-is-are), the adverb goes after the verb.

Ex. She is always late for work.

Now you go:

Read this negative sentence. Where is the adverb of frequency here?

            Ex. People don´t usually go to the beach in winter.

     You are right!  The adverb has to go between the auxiliary verb and the main
verb.

Real life - Review

o Telling the time

Tellingthe time
To tell the time in English, we use the following expressions:   
O'clock: 11:00.                                        A quarter past: 11:15.
Half-past: 11:30.                                     A quarter to 11:45.
 
Ex.  A: What time is it?
         B: It is a quarter to six (5:45 pm).
         A: Ups! I am late for class! 
 
Notice that we tell the time in a very different way from Spanish. From 11:00 to
11:30 we use the preposition Past.
From 11:30 to 11:59 to say how many minutes are left for the next hour we use the
preposition To:

   Ex. It is a quarter past eleven. (It's 11:15)   

          It is a quarter to twelve. (It's 11:45)       

o The days of the week

Thedays of theweek

In English, the days of the week are usually preceded by the preposition on and
they always go in CAPITAL letters. We use the days of the week in different ways: 
1. To refer to one occasion: 
e.g: I will go to London on Friday.
 
2.  Use it in the plural to refer to repeated events: 
e.g: Fundeim´s office is closed on Sundays.
        Do you work on Fridays?
 
3. In English, the days of the week are nouns, but they can also function as
adverbs of time and adjectives:
e.g.: I'll ring you on Monday (time adv).
 
4.  a + day 
My birthday’s on a Monday this year. (Noun=one of the Mondays in the year)
Similarly, "Mondays (adv)=on Mondays"
e.g.:  The restaurant is closed Mondays. = Adv
I was born on a beautiful Monday morning! = Noun

 NOTAS CLASE 10

 CLASE 10: WORDS AND EXPRESSIONS

Parts of thebody

Facts aboutthe body

1. Blood makes up about eight percent (80%) of your total body weight.

2. The human nose can detect about one trillion smells.
3. Skin is the body’s largest organ and can comprise fifteen percent (15%) of a
person’s total weight.
4. The foot is one of the most ticklish parts of the body.
5. Extraocular muscles in the eye are the body’s fastest muscles.
6. The heart beats more than 3 billion times in the average human lifespan.
 
Meters, minutes, and kilos
These are some of the units of measurement in English. Some are the same or
similar to Spanish, but some others are different.

Let´s see...
1 pound= 453 grams approx.   e.g. You need only one pound of sugar for this
month.
 
100 percent=100%              e.g. I am 100% sure!
 
1 kilo=1000 grams              e.g. A kilo equals 1000 grams.
 
1 hour=60 minutes                  e.g. I can stand here for only sixty minutes.
 

        e.g. I can run two kilometers every day. 

Languagebuilding: Can and Can't

We use the modal verb "can" to talk about abilities or skills in a positive or
negative way.
 Ex.  Affirmative: She can play the piano.
         Negative:        I can´t/cannot read music.
Notice: This is also a sentence in the simple present, but the verb CAN does not
take the -s of the third person singular with he/she/it. 
Can is a modal auxiliary verb and does not need the –s, ies, es. Yey!
Ex. He can ride a bike.
The bee (it) can sting (auch!)   

Use the following expressions to discuss about things you can or can´t do. (p.65).

Record yourself saying if you can/cannot do these four activities.
Uploadyourrecording in the Let´stalk section: 
-I can´t drive a car. My family doesn´t teach me.

-I can cook well desserts.

-I can´t read music, it´s too difficult for me.

-I can´t play the violin. I never practice.

YES/ NO QUESTIONS

You can also form Yes/No questions with the modal verb can:

 Ex. Can you drive?           Answer: Yes, I can.
                                                          No, I cannot/can´t
Remember to put the verb Can first in Yes/No questions.
Ex. Can she cook?
        Can you help me?
Also, in information questions:
Ex. When can you come?
        What can I do to help?
Never forget!
Rule: when you use Can, the following verb has to be in the base form, like this:
                      Ex. You can speak English.        
Ex. Can you speak English?
 Wh-questions

Information questions are used to ask for specific information.    

Who – A person, Where – A place, When – A time, Why – A reason, How many –
A number, What – A thing.

Word order

Word order is very important in English because it can determine the function of a

word inside the sentence. In the next example, the first DO functions as an
auxiliary verb because of its position in the sentence, and the second DO
functions as the main verb:
Ex. What do you do for fun?                                                                                   
        Answer: I play volleyball.
 
 Wh + aux verb +subject + main verb + complement (optional)? (el complement
es opcional, porque a veces con el verbo se puede cerrar la pregunta)
 Ex. Where do you live?
        Answer: I live in Montreal.
       Where can you find a good restaurant in this city? (with can)       
        Answer: You can go to Soho.
