WRITING SELF-CORRECTION CODE

This is a common tool to optimise learning opportunities from mistakes students make in written homework and to encourage the self-correction to get to know the mistakes and do not repeat them any longer. I'll show you where the mistakes are and what kind they are, and then you must try to correct them as a second stage to the initial writing task. The codes shown here is what you might find in your writing all over this course. It's your task to find them and correct them properly.

SUBJECT & OBJECT QUESTIONS: GRAMMAR AND EXERCISES

When we usually learn about how to make a question, we learn about object questions, because they are the most common type of question. The normal rules that you learn about making questions, such as inverting the question word and the auxiliary verb, or adding 'do', 'does' or 'did', are all used in object questions. 'Who kissed John?' is a subject question. We don't need to use inversion, or add 'did'. Instead, we just take out 'Lucy' from the answer (which is a normal sentence) and add 'who'. We generally make subject questions using 'who' or 'what'.

MODAL VERBS

A modal is a type of auxiliary (helping) verb that is used to express: ability, possibility, permission or obligation. Modal phrases (or semi-modals) are used to express the same things as modals, but are a combination of auxiliary verbs and the preposition to.

Modals are special verbs which behave very irregularly in English. In this post you will find the modal explanations and complete the associated exercises and take another step toward English fluency.

FUTURE TENSE

There are several different ways in English that you can talk about the future. This page is an introduction to the most important ones.

Simple Future has two different forms in English: "will" and "be going to." Although the two forms can sometimes be used interchangeably, they often express two very different meanings. These different meanings might seem too abstract at first, but with time and practice, the differences will become clear. Both "will" and "be going to" refer to a specific time in the future.

As I stated in class, in this post you can find the activities you have to do for homework. The first with the sentences you have to make up and the second a fill-in-the-gaps exercise.

SPELLING BEE

This game is very simple and easy to play. You just look at the image or listen to the audio and then spell the word. You can spell the word by clicking on the letters on the screen.
You first select the vocabulary items that you want to practice spelling. Then you are show images in turn and have to spell each one. The faster you spell each item the more score you can accumulate. The game ends when the time runs out.
The idea is that by spelling words again and again very quickly you can become a better speller while also having fun playing a game. If you click the wrong letter then you don’t lose you can just try another one until you get it right. In this way there is a little bit of trial and error in learning to spell words that you don’t know.
