Frecuency

 

Para hablar de nuestras rutinas, lo que hacemos habitualmente o de forma puntual, utilizamos una serie de palabras llamadas "adverbs of frecuency". 

Aquí os proponemos un vídeo cortito para repasar algunas acciones.

Comparative adjectives

This week we are learning how to compare 2 things with the "ER" at the end of the adjective and the word THAN. For example:

Mary is taller than Peter.

To refresh some of this comparative forms here we have some short videos:

This er and than combination is used with adjectives of one or two syllables but when we have longer words like important, beautiful, etc, we must use more before the adjective.

                      more beautiful 

                         more interesting

                       more expensive

But when we want to compare more than two things, two people, etc, we must use "est" at the end of the adjective and add of. For example:

 My house is the smallest of my block.

My hair is the longest of my class.

In these videos we can see the use of both types of comparatives.

When comparing more than 2 things and with adjectives of 3 o more syllables  we use "MOST".

Question words.

 

This week we are going to practice playing with a special dice.

The dice of the Questions Words.

We are going to focus on the words:

Who

Why

What

When

Where

Which

Essential words to ask and learn new things every day.

Here I publish the dice template so you can print it, cut it, fold it and glue it.

Question Cube by Merche Delgado

How to play?

Con al menos dos personas. Una tira el dado y debe realizar una pregunta al otro utilizando la palabra que le ha salido por azar.
Se puede definir el tema antes de empezar el juego a ver quién sabe más de un personaje en concreto por ejemplo, Bob Esponja:

Where? Where does he live?
Who is his best friend?
Which animal is his pet?

I hope you enjoy it.

Curious question # 9

This week´s curious question is:

What do the following books have in common?

Dracula, 

Frankenstein, 

Dr. Jekyll and Mr Hyde, 

The Picture of Dorian Gray.

Think not only about the characters but the writers, the years, the genre ( the type of book).

Five little monkeys

Esta semana no se trata de recordar un poema sino de una canción muy conocida. Five little monkeys.
Con ella vamos a divertirnos y a repasar los números del 5 al 1.
El viernes lo cantaremos por grupos.

La letra de la canción a recordar es:

Five little monkeys jumping on the bed,

one fell down and bumped his head,

mama call the doctor 

and the doctor said.

No more monkeys jumping on the bed.

Four little monkeys jumping on the bed,

one fell down and bumped her head,

mama call the doctor 

and the doctor said.

No more monkeys jumping on the bed.

Three (se repite todo)

Two (se repite todo)

One (se repite todo)
