6th GRADE: INFINITIVE OR -ING FORM?

Some verbs are followed by the infinitive with to: offer, need, expect, pretend, agree, promise



Some verbs are followed by the gerund (the -ing form of the verb): suggest, imagine, enjoy, avoid, mind.



4th GRADE: COMPARATIVE

We use comparatives to compare two things or two people.To form comparatives you need to know the

 number of syllables in the adjective.






The rules to form comparatives

1. One syllable adjective ending in one vowel and one consonant — big
  • Comparative — the consonant is doubled and 'er' is added —bigger
          2.  One syllable adjective ending in a silent 'e' — nice
    • Comparative — add 'r' — nicer
3. One syllable adjective ending in more than one consonant or more than a vowel — highcheap
  • Comparative — 'er' is added — highercheaper
4. A two syllable adjective ending in 'y' — happy
  • Comparative — 'y' becomes 'i' and 'er' is added — happier
5. Two syllable or more adjectives without 'y' at the end  exciting
  • Comparative  more + the adjective + than  more exciting than

But... there are some irregular comparatives. Look at this table:



Now, let's see these examples:








6th GRADE: PRESENTATION - "MY SUMMER HOLIDAY"



Let's make a presentation about your summer holiday. Remember the parts of a presentation:

1. Introduction: Good morning/ afternoon everyone
                            Today, I'm going to talk about...

2. Main part: I would like to start by...
                           First, I will talk about...
                           Then, ... Next, ... After that...

3. Summing up and ending the presentation: Finally,...
                          In conclusion...
                          Thank you for listening
                          Does anyone have any questions?


IMPORTANT: Don't use long sentences.
                          Include images or pictures if it is possible.
                          You can use a brief outline.

ENJOY YOUR PROJECT!

4th GRADE - ADVERBS OF FREQUENCY (ALWAYS, USUALLY, OFTEN, SOMETIMES, NEVER)

Frequency adverbs show how often something happens. They usually come before the main verb in a sentence: "I sometimes cook Italian food." 
They can also be found after 'be' verbs (Am, is, are) : "She is always early for class." 
Use this scale to get an idea of what the adverbs mean. Remember, this is just an estimate. The percentages are not fixed rules!
100% - Always 
80% - Usually 
60% - Often
50% - Sometimes
0% - Never
Look at these examples:
  • always have corn flakes for breakfast. 
  • They usually spend the summer in the mountains. 
  • You often water the garden.
  • Ben sometimes goes to the theater. 
  • They never go hiking
