Thursday, morning intermediate

Hi everyone,

So today we started with a little work on prepositions again. They're quite difficult to remember so I advise you not to worry about trying to remember them, but it's a better idea to try to notice them. Maybe just one day a week have a prepositions day - in a newspaper article try to underline all the cases of adjective+preposition or every verb+preposition. It will help!


What preposition does responsible depend on?

Ooooops, terrible what? Can you remember?


Also, graded readers are a great way to improve all your grammar, and your vocabulary. You'll find them in Delfin Dominick St, the city library in the ILAC centre and in a lot of bookshops and online. You can even take a test here to see which level you should be reading at to enjoy it the most.

DongHee keeps Lenaic and Naima enthralled with his story!
After the prepositions work we moved on to some story telling work. There were three very interesting stories with two very similar themes: murder and romance! You pushed your narrative tenses and learned a little new vocabulary too!

Towards the end of the class we looked at some phrasal verbs with get. We're going to look at these a little more tomorrow, don't worry!

Homework:

  • Do the phrasal verb sheet again.
  • Write a short story containing five of the phrasal verbs with get.
  • Study for the test - zero, first and second conditional, adjective+preposition, vocabulary from the article we read on Wednesday.


See you tomorrow!
