1º ESO REVISION 5&6 FOR/AGO FIRST CONDITIONAL

G'day! ;)

Let's revise Units 5 and 6. Go to page 62 of your workbooks (Citizen Z B1). Don't forget I sent you a copy of it in case you didn't have it. Follow the instructions I give here please, and don't miss any step!

First, we'll try some listening activities.

1. 4.17 Listen to the interview with the member of a band and do exercises 1 and 2.

2. Give an answer to these extra questions:

a. The person being interviewed says the trumpet player dropped out? What does that mean?

b. Who plays what in the band?

3. In exercise 3 from page 62, you will revise the use of for and first conditional. Remember:

• We use for with periods of time. For example: for a month/three years/eight hours...As opposed to since, which is used to set a starting point. For example: since 5 o'clock, 2012, last year...

• Ago normally appears with the past simple tense, never with the present perfect tense: "I met (past) her six years ago, so I have known (present perfect) her for six years or since 2014"

• First conditionals describe things that I think are likely to happen in the future, whereas the second conditional talks about things that I don't think will really happen. It's subjective; it depends on my point of view.

4. In exercise 4 from page 62, you will revise present perfect simple and continuous:

• I have already finished my homework : have/ has + past participle (-ed for regular verbs or 3rd column of irregular verbs) This means that you started some time in the past and you have just finished or finished in the present.

• I have been chatting on the phone for hours: have/has + BEEN+ ing form of the verb. This means that you started some time in the past and will possibly continue. It is normally a tiresome activity that you would prefer not to do.

5. We will finish today's work doing exercises 5 and 6 on page 62 on the Units' vocabulary.

Easy, wasn't it? Don't forget to send me all your homework.

Much better if you do it everyday! Bye!
