Today,
after recapitulating what we had said last time about super hero powers, we worked on expressing "ability", "capacity".
Here is what we said about Superman:
Superman can...
-
outrun speeding locomotives.
-
bend steel in his bare hands.
These are his abilities.
Grammaire: Attention "can" ne peut s'utiliser qu'au présent et jamais après "to"
Si vous devez parler d'une capacité à un autre temps ou après "to", vous devrez utiliser:
(be) able to...
Ex. au prétérit:
-
I wasn't able to take the bus. (je n'ai pas pu prendre le bus)
-
They weren't able to take the bus. (ils n'ont pas pu prendre le bus)
Ex. au futur:
-
I will not be able to go to the cinema with you.
Ex. après "to":
-
I would like to be able to fly.
Then, we worked on body parts. You had to place the letters in the correct order and put each word in a column
corresponding to its pronunciation. You will need to know those vocabulary words and their pronunciation by next Thursday.
