13th May ; Good friends - Vocabulary

Manual digital : https://manuale.edu.ro/manuale/Clasa%20a%20VII-a/Limba%20moderna%20engleza/U0MgR1JVUCBFRElUT1JJ/

Page 96 ex 1 - write the expressions along with their translations in your notebooks

In my opinion these are new for you :
to click/snap your fingers- a pocni din degete
queue- coada ( de persoane asteptand la casa la Kaufland )
to jump the queue - a intra in fata ( unei cozi )
to point at someone - a arata cu degetul pe cineva (RUDE!)

Ex 4 / 96 to be written on your notebook
Ex 5/ 96 - listen and answer
ex 7, 8 / 97 - do not forget to listen to the text at least once !

As homework post in your portfolios   at least 4 sentences with ' must / mustn't / have to / don't have to ' about yourself , your obligations and prohibitions. 

12th May ; Live Microsoft Teams ! Good Friends ! Obligation ; Necessity ; Prohibition


must / have to


Must and have to are used to express obligation. When we use must this usually means that the obligations comes from the speaker, it’s like a personal obligation, whereas have to normally means that the obligation is external.
  • I must give up smoking. (I need to, I say so)
  • I have to give up smoking. (I’m obliged. My doctor says so)

mustn’t / don’t have to


The negative forms mustn’t and don’t have to are completely different. Mustn’t is used to express prohibition (an obligation not to do something), whereas don’t have to is used to express an absence of obligation. 
  • You mustn’t reveal where you get the information. (=you have the obligation not to do it)
  • You don’t have to arrive before 7. (=you can do it, but it’s not necessary, there’s no obligation)

Suffixes :

A suffix is a set of letters that comes after the root word and changes its meaning.  For example: "big," "bigger," and "biggest" mean different things.
https://speakspeak.com/english-grammar-exercises/intermediate/verbs-and-their-nouns


Page 90 ex 1, 2 , 3, 4


First conditional :

1.The first conditional is often used for promises.  

If I am elected , I will pay teachers more.

2. First conditionals can also be used for negotiation: 

If you cook dinner, I’ll wash the dishes. 

3. First conditionals can also be utilised for consequences – possible or likely situations in the present or future. 

Chain story : 

Use one of the next beginnings and each student will create a consequence if-sentence taking the previous idea as basis.

22nd April 2020; On Screen - Future Tenses




The Future With "Will"



Use the future with will to talk about an event in the future that you have just decided to do, for predictions and for promises.


Examples:


  • I think I'll go to that party next week.
  • The economy will get better soon.
  • Yes, I will marry you.

Future With 'Will' Structure:

Positive: Subject + will + verb
  • (I, You, He, She, We, They) will come to the party.
Negative: Subject + will + not (won't) + verb
  • (I, You, He, She, We, They) won't have time tomorrow.
Questions: Question word + will + subject + verb
  • What will (he, she, you, we) they do?

The Future With  " Be Going To"

The future with " be going to" is used to express events you have already planned in the future and your intentions for the future. We sometimes also use the present continuous for planned events in the near future.
Examples:
  • She's going to attend university and study to become a doctor.
  • We're going to make the presentation next week.

Future With " Be Going to" Structure:

Positive: Subject + to be + going to + verb
  • I am going to attend the meeting.
  • (He, She) is going to attend the meeting.
  • (You, We, They) are going to attend the meeting.
Negative: Subject + to be + not + going to + verb
  • I'm not going to visit Rome next year.
  • (He, She) isn't going to visit Rome next year.
  • (You, We, They) aren't going to visit Rome next year.
Questions:  (Question word) + to be + subject + going to + verb
  • Where am I going to stay?
  • Where is (she, he) going to stay?
  • Where are (you, we, they) going to stay?

The Present  Continuous 


The present continuous is used to talk about arrangements for events at a time later than now. There is a suggestion that more than one person is aware of the event, and that some preparation has already happened. e.g.
  • I'm meeting Jim at the airport = Jim and I have discussed this.
  • I am leaving tomorrow. = I've already bought my train ticket.
  • We're having a staff meeting next Monday = all members of staff have been told about it.

The Future Continuous 


The Future Continuous tense is often used in English as a way to talk about something happening at a given point in the future.


  • I will be playing tennis at 10am tomorrow.
  • They won't be watching TV at 9pm tonight.
  • What will you be doing at 10pm tonight?

https://manuale.edu.ro/manuale/Clasa%20a%20VII-a/Limba%20moderna%20engleza/U0MgR1JVUCBFRElUT1JJ/



Obiectivul lectiei sunt "adjective fara grade de comparatie " .
Aveti in poza asemenea exemple . De ex daca vreau sa spun ca ceva e " cel mai bun " , in loc de superlativul de la "good" - "the best " , pot folosi "fantastic " . Daca vreau sa accentueza ca ceva e " foarte murdar " pot utiliza " filthy " in loc de "dirty " sau superlativul sau " the dirtiest " .

Parerea mea este ca scriindu-le in caiet pe perechi , cu sageata dinspre 'good ' spre ' fantastic " , de ex ., le veti retine mai usor . Folositi un dictionar online acolo unde este cazul .
https://images.app.goo.gl/u6kWkcXsC3qXzci26


Rezolvati ex 1 / 78  , ascultati si repetati la ex 2 ., rezolvati in scris ex 3 si 4 / 78 . Asculati si cititi de doua ori textul exercitiului 6 / 78 si raspundeti intrebarilor .


Pagina 79 va conduce catre modalitati de exprimare a posibilitaii si probabilitatii .
Va amintesc :
- cand ceva este posibil utilizam MAY,MIGHT, COULD ( ar putea / s-ar putea )
Ex. This closing of schools due to COVID19 may/ might/ could be longer than initially predicted.

-cand ceva este probabil utilizam SHOULD (ar trebui)
Ex: This pandemic should stop in a few weeks if everybody obeys the rules.

Ex 1,2,3,4,5 pag 79 le postati intr-un singur comentariu la acest post pana pe 24 martie ., astfel :
