So, But, Because

Week 16^th -18^th June

Hi everybody!

Are you having fun? Are you enjoying the weekend?

Last week we finished watching the videos about the arrival of Allie in the USA.

We learnt some useful phrases:

You look good!                              Well done!

How was the fight?                        Did you sleep well?

You must be really tired!              How are things?

I’m so pleased you came!            What are the plans for the week?

It’s great to see you!                     It’s time to go!

Don’t forget that they use different words for the same words depending if it is the USA or the UK.

The USA                   The UK

Lift                              elevator

Parking Lot              car park

And we finished with a story.

The story of a girl that went out with her friends one Saturday. They went to a disco. The DJ fell in love with the girl in the yellow dress and they started going out together.

They met in a café every evening when she finished work. One evening she was driving very fast because she was in a hurry. She didn’t see a man in a dark coat that was crossing the road. She ran the man over but she didn’t realize.

She waited for her boyfriend in the café but he didn’t turned up (appeared) so, she went home.

While she was watching TV the doorbell rang. It was a police officer. She told her that her boyfriend had an accident and was in hospital. A woman driving a white car ran over him but she didn’t stop to help.

Who do you think ran over the boy?

Remember the use of so, because and but.

Reason: because. It answers the question ‘Why?’

Result: so. The consequence of something.

·         She was driving very fast because she was in a hurry. (Why was she driving fast?)

·         She was in a hurry, so she was driving fast.

We´ll continue with another story on Tuesday!

Enjoy the rest of your Sunday!
