CLASS 10
Tuesday 28/4
HELLO EVERYONE. HOW WAS YOUR WEEKEND? RAINY AND GREY, BUT THE RAIN WAS NECESSARY AND IT´S ALWAYS NICE TO BE AT HOME ON RAINY, GREY DAYS, RIGHT?
WELL, THOSE OF YOU WHO SENT AUDIOS AND THE WRITING EXERCISE DID QUITE A NICE JOB. THE BIGGEST ERRORS I FIND IN
ALL ARE WORD FORMS. THIS IS WHY I INSIST THAT YOU KEEP A PAGE IN YOUR NOTEBOOKS LIKE THIS:
VERB NOUN ADJECTIVE ADVERB
TO RISK RISK/RISKINESS RISKY RISKILY
----- COURAGE COURAGEOUS COURAGEOUSLY
LUCK LUCKY LUCKILY
STRENGTH STRONG STRONGLY
CALMNESS/CALM CALM CALMLY
ETC...
THIS WILL HELP YOU TO USE WORDS CORRECTLY IN SENTENCES AND NOT SAY, FOR EXAMPLE, "THEY HAVE A VERY
RISK JOB, " WHEN IT SHOULD BE, "THEY HAVE A VERY
RISKY JOB."
THE SECOND BIGGEST ERROR IS SUBJECT-VERB AGREEMENT. LOTS OF MISTAKES LIKE, "TEACHERS
HAS......" OR , "THERE
IS MANY JOBS THAT....." :-(
AND THIRDLY, THE WRONG USE OF ARTICLES. BE CAREFUL WITH "I THINK
THE DOCTORS WORK..... " WHEN WE ARE TALKING ABOUT ALL DOCTORS, TEACHERS, FIREFIGHTERS, ETC. IF YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT A SPECIFIC GROUP, YOU WOULD USE ´THE´. "THE DOCTORS IN ARGENTINA ARE NOW REWARDED AS THEY SHOULD BE."
PLEASE LISTEN TO YOUR OWN AUDIOS!! LISTEN AND LISTEN AGAIN. FIND YOUR OWN ERRORS. THIS IS A VERY GOOD EXERCISE FOR YOU!
