Hi Everyone!

Today we studied verb 3s. We learnt that some verbs are regular (ed endings) and some are irregular (different endings and words). I can't help you much with irregular verbs...you just have to study them at home. But I can help you with regular verbs and how to pronounce them! Here is the board...

These rules also apply to 'ed' ending adjectives. We talked about how 'ed' ending adjectives are often feelings or states, whereas 'ing' ending adjectives are often characteristics. For example...

I am so excited about the weekend! (I feel excited)

Action movies are really exciting! (A characteristic of action movies is that they are exciting)

I have learned the present perfect..When did you learn it it? TODAY!

Hi everyone,

Well done on your reading and listening tests today, you all did really well :-)

We corrected the homework and talked about to, at and in...

Today we looked at the present perfect tense. We use the present perfect when we talk about an experience in an unknown time in the past...

Remember that when we give detail (more information) we use the past simple.

Example: I have visited Spain - it was hot  
                present perfect      past simple

We will study this more tomorrow... so don't panic!!!!

Remember your presentations are tomorrow.. I hope you are ready!
