This class started checking the homework on phrasal verbs, placing the object in the right position within the phrasal verb.
Then we had a class totally based on grammar. I explained reported speech in different forms: statements, questions, requests, imperatives and reporting verbs.
On the two blackboards next to this we can see how the tenses change in reported seech.
With statements we can either use said or told but after told we must use an object.
With questions we can use a wh- particle, if or whether, depending on the type of question; and then we have the same structure as in affirmative sentences.
For requests and imperatives we use the verbs ask and tell, followed by an object, and to + infinitive.
Reporting verbs have different structures depending on the verb.
After the exlanation we had a look at the idiom of the day: to have a green thumb.
For homework students must do exercise 8 page 87, 6 and 9 from page 89, 2 and 5 from pages 90 and 91.
