HW for 11/21 and Quiz info

Hi everyone,

For HW please complete pp. 41 and 42 in the workbook.

Also please review for the quiz tomorrow.  What will be on the quiz?

• The vocabulary of Units 1, 2, 3 and 4, which we reviewed today in class 
• Grammar points of Units 4 and 5

(I have given some grammar examples, these are in no way all-inclusive of course, they are just meant to refresh your memory of the grammar point. Please go to the book and/or check any handouts I have given you, for a more comprehensive review!)

subject-verb inversions out of unit 4,
ex.: At no time     did      he      consider     surgery. (He didn't consider surgery)
       Neg. Adv.      Aux     S       Main V           O

conditionals, out of unit 5
ex. (again, these are just some examples, they are not exhaustive - check your handout and the book)

zero conditional: If you want to improve your English you have to read everyday!

first conditional: If I haven't finished the homework, I won't go to that party.

second conditional: If I were you, I'd learn the grammar inside out!

third conditional: If Moises had studied the vocabulary from the beginning, he wouldn't have to cram now!  =)

cleft sentences, out of unit 5
ex.
It was Marzouk who figured out the HDMI cable for us today!
I could have said: 'Marzouk figured out the HDMI cable for us' but this sentence gives less importance to Marzouk!

What I want is something to eat now!
I could have said: 'I want something to eat now' and the sentence is fine, but it lacks emphasis. By starting with the cleft 'What I want now' I demonstrate to the other interlocutors that what I want is important!

OK, that does it for the quiz.


READING CLUB is still happening - please share with your classmates what you are reading, you ARE reading right?!? If you're not, then it's never too late, read something NOW!

See you all tomorrow, have a great evening ~
