So do not hesitate and click on the following link.

Hi there! As I promised, here you have the answers to the exercise on reported speech.

1. Robert boasted that he had always been good at Maths.
2. Nidia objected to paying that much for gas.
3. Belem insisted that I must see a doctor immediately or Belem insisted that I should see a doctor immediately ( in this case because you can use the construction verb + that + subject + should with the verbs insist and suggest instead of the gerund)
4. My father promised to help me with my homework the following Saturday or My father promised that he would help me with my homework the coming Saturday
5. Susan warned her children not to play with matches or they might get burned.
6. Jimmy confessed to breaking the window or Jimmy confessed to his mother that he had broken the window

I hope you have had good marks. See you all!

Hi there! As we started a new topic, I was looking for some extra activities which can help you with the topic about defining relative clauses. So click on the following links the first two are for you to revise some rules, and the third to do an execise.


http://www.ego4u.com/en/cram-up/grammar/relative-clauses#h04

This link talks about relative adverbs.

http://www.ego4u.com/en/cram-up/grammar/relative-clauses#h02

This is about relative pronous

http://www.ego4u.com/en/cram-up/grammar/relative-clauses/exercises?08

And this is the exercise.

It's important just to pay attention to the information that you have right in front of you when you click on the link, but if you want you can read everything, but you may not understand all that you read, because there is more information about clauses that you don't need to know in this moment.
Once you have done the activity, print it and bring it by this Tuesday. See you and have a nice day.

Hi there! What do you think of this unit that we have just started? I know that it might be a bit difficult to try to learn and use all the new words that we'll be checking here. So to begin with, I would like you to check the following:

http://www.languageguide.org/english/vocabulary/landscapes/

This site will help you to practice pronunciation on different words that have a lot to do with landscapes and cities. So listen and repeat each word as many times as you want, then choose 5 words and write a meaningful sentence with each of them trying to use the adjectives that we have just checked in class. Hand them in by Friday. See you. I hope you like this activity too.
