Questions With and Without Auxiliaries and Prepositions of Time.

Week 26^th – 28^th May

Hi everybody! How are you?

Let’s see…What did we do in our last lessons?

We revised how to make questions with and without auxiliaries.

I’m not going to repeat the theory, as it was posted on the previous blog. You can just scroll down and you’ll find it!

I won’t write the explanation again but you can watch it on these videos. It may be more entertaining than reading!

We also reviewed prepositions of time: in, on, at, for, during and since.

In/on/at for time. Exercise:  In, On, At ...

I was born on Saturday on25th in December in 1991 in winter in the morning at /on (American English) the weekend at 9p.m

·         On New Year’s Eve we stay up until midnight.

·         We send cards to family at Christmas and on birthdays.

·         They are sweet and we often eat them on special occasions, like Christmas. What are they?

·         Pumpkins are popular at Halloween.

·         People often put up special decorations around the house at Christmas

Use of the prepositions, for, since, ago with present perfect or past simple.

 ·          Since is only used with perfect tenses.

He’s lived in Madrid since 2006.

 ·          Ago is only used with past simple.

He moved to Madrid 8 years ago.

 ·          For can be used with both tenses but the meaning of the sentences is different.

He lived in Santander for six years.        
 He doesn’t live in Santander.

He’s lived in Santander for six years.      He’s probably living in Santander now.

Watch the video and you’ll understand the use much better!
