First class of the year after the Christmas holidays and we started unit 4; this first section of the unit is about music and we saw some collocations related to music: see someone play live, release a new single, do an encore, go onstage...
With this vocabulary students shared their experiences with concerts, the last concert, the best, the worst... The idea was to practise this vocabulary using past tenses.
Then we had a look at the two texts on page 30, one written by Nikki Williams who attended a concert by Lady Gaga and the other by Danny Breen who told his experience DJing at a club. We checked the questions on exercise 4 out loud asking each other the questions.
And finally we had a look at the use of the past simple and past continuous:
- Past simple: for single completed actions in the past, repeated actions or habits in the past, states in the past.
- Past continuous: for actions in progress at a point of time in the past, to tell the background events of a story, for actions in progress in terrupted by a shorter action (in past simple)
And also the comparison between Used to and past simple: you can use both for habits and repeated actions in the past and for states in the past.
For homework students must do exercises 8 and 9 from page 31.
