Group 902

Hello everybody. As some of you didn't show up last Friday maybe because you didn't know If I was coming or not, I decided to look for some activities on Future for you, since we have already checked this topic in class, and you need to have further practice in case you still have some doubts about it. After checking the grammar reference in your book, click on the following link, and do the exercises . These sites have a feedback section, so you just need to print the last page where your score is shown and hand it in to me by Wednesday.
