The Verb 'To be' and Present Continuous

Monday 11^th May

Hello everybody! How are you?

I hope David is feeling better.

Thank you for bringing Coby. We are looking forward to seeing (we want very much to see) and listening what Coby and you did with Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Did you help him to investigate any crime with Sherlock Holmes?

                                                                        And next Monday, Eva is going to tell us about Queen Elizabeth 1. So, we are going to learn a lot.

What did we do in class?

We reviewed the verb ‘To be’

We reviewed prepositions using the videos I had posted on the blog. You must revise them a little more, so watch the videos again, please!

TO BE
Affirmative		Negative	Interrogative
Long form	Short form
I am a teacher.	I’m a teacher.	I ‘m not a teacher.	Am I a teacher?
You are Marcos.	You’re Marcos.	You aren’t Marcos.	Are you Marcos?
He is David.	He’s David.	He isn’t David.	Is he David?
She is Eva.	She’s Eva.	She isn’t Eva.	Is she Eva?
It is a dragon.	It’s a dragon.	It isn’t a dragon.	Is it a dragon?
We are students.	We’re students.	We aren’t students.	Are we students?
You are boys.	You’re boys.	You aren’t boys.	Are you boys?
They are girls.	They’re girls.	They aren’t girls.	Are they girls?

And we also reviewed every day activities because we explained the present continuous.

We make present continuous using to be + -ing. For example:

I am writing the blog.

Are you writing the blog?

Yes, I am.

For homework: write two sentences in affirmative, two in negative and two questions, in present continuous. (Use the photocopy I gave you)

Eva, don’t forget to write the presentation ‘Where I live’ (you can consult the previous blog if you don’t remember).
