Review of verb tenses

In Unit 1 we worked with simple, continuous and perfect simple verb tenses, in present and past. We practiced:

  • The Present Simple: We sing
  • The Present Continuous: We are singing
  • The Past Simple: We sang
  • The Past Continuous: We were singing
  • The Present Perfect Simple: We have sung
  • The Past Perfect: We had sung
  • The Future Simple: We will sing
Remember that you can check how these verbs are used in this Grammar Appendix, with explanations in Catalan. 

Here's a unit (in Spanish) about the different verb tenses. It was created by a great teacher called Isabel Pérez. It includes a good number of exercises. 

You will find more detailed explanations and useful infographics in the website Perfect English Grammar

If you need more practice or you have any questions or doubts, write them in the comments below or send me an email. If you want to make an appointment, I'll be happy to meet with you one Wednesday afternoon and help you with any difficulties you may have.

Preparing for the Initial Test

In our next class full-group class we are going to do an Initial Test. This will allow me to have an idea of the general skills of the group and, very important, to discover the abilities and needs of each one
of you.

This exam is important for the group and for you individually, as it will be your first mark in English this year. To prepare for it you should:
  • Review the section Grammar Basics on pages 122- 130 of the Student's Book. 
  • Review the Writing Guide on pages 152-164.
  • Have a look at the rest of the sections (Glossary, Functional Language, Easily Confused Words,...)
  • Use these Revision worksheets extra practice. Do:
    • exercise #1 on each page
    • at least 12 exercises in total
    • at least 2 exercises on each page. 
    • Use this answer key to check your answers.
 If you have any questions, doubts or comments, share them in the comment section below. Another classmate might be able to help you. I'll monitor the comments and participate, if needed.
