B1 - File 10 (first part)

Dear Students,
in today's lesson we are going to do File 10A Idols and icons, on page 162. The most important part of it is the Grammar. We'll be tackling Relative Sentences. Please go to your Grammar Bank, page 222.

Relative Clauses can be DEFINING and NON-DEFINING.

DEFINING:
They are essential to the sentence. Without them, the meaning is incomplete.

WHO (or THAT) is used to refer to people.
WHICH (or THAT) to things or animals.
WHERE for places.
WHOSE means of who or of which (in Spanish, cuyo)

Ex. The man who (that) lives next door is bad-tempered.

We need to define The man to know who we are talking about.
If the relative pronoun (who, which, that) is NOT the subject of the verb in the relative clause, it can be omitted.
Ex. She is the student (WHO/THAT) I met at the party.

As you can see, the subject of met is not who or that. It is I, so, the relative pronoun can be left out.

Ex. She is the student WHO/ THAT passed all the exams.
The subject of passed is who or that (quien/que), so it CAN'T be omitted.

NON-DEFINING
They are not essential. If you omit them, the sentence still retains its full meaning. They add extra information to the sentence.


  • The main characteristic is that they are BETWEEN COMMAS.
  • The pronouns WHO, WHICH, WHERE and WHOSE must be always present.
  • THAT is not possible.

Ex.  My neighbour, WHO has just bought a new bicycle, is the loveliest person in the street.
Ex. My car ,WHICH I washed yesterday, has been stolen.

Now do exercises a and b on page 222 and check your answers.

You will find more grammar explanations and extra practice in this FOLDER. Please download the PDF and work on it.

Now do the exercises on the Worksheet for 10A, Grammar. You will find it in the same Folder.

Remember that you also have the Workbook pages for 10A  (p 172) and the Online Practice. Access with your code and do the extra exercises that you consider you need revise File 10A. Don't forget to do the Listening Comprehension  exercise there and the part For Speakers of Spanish. Also I recommend you look at File 10A of your Pocket Book for Speakers of Spanish.

B1 - File 9A (First part)

Dear students,
for this lesson we need to revise Files 7&8. Go to page 136-137. On this spread you will see the Revise and Check section with revision exercises and an extra Reading and Video Listening. In the Folder below you'll find the key.

We have to start File 9A on page 144. We're going to study the Third Conditional and more Word-building.
Conditional sentences Type 3 are used to talk about unreal or hypothetical situations. The basic pattern is:

IF  PAST PERFECT                +     WOULD HAVE PAST PARTICIPLE
If I had bought that lottery ticket, I would have won a lot of money.

VARIATION: MIGHT or COULD instead of WOULD

Now do exercise b. Read and listen to the text. Some help with the vocabulary:
knock on: Llamar a la puerta
wonder: preguntarse
hitchhike: hacer autoestop
rudely: maleducadamente

After that you need to listen to the recording in exercise c. You'll find the script on page 202, 9.2. (vocabulary help: rush: apresurarse)

On page 145 go to exercise e. There are three stories of people who were helped by strangers. You have to listen to the recordings and match three sentences to each story.
The answers are: a3, b2, c3, d1, e2, f1, g3, h1, i2.
Then, listen again and read the scripts on page 203, 9.3.

Now 2 GRAMMAR third conditional.
Match the sentence halves: 1C, 2B, 3A, 4D. All the situations expressed are imaginary, unreal only hypotheses.
Please go to page 220 for the grammar. Read it closely. Careful with the contraction 'D. It can be HAD or WOULD.
If I'd (HAD) known you had a problem, I'd (WOULD) have helped you.

Do the exercises and check your answers on the key in the Folder.
At this moment you can do the exercises on Worksheet Grammar 9A. You will find it (together with the key) in the Folder below.
I also suggest you read the grammar pages for File 9A in your Pocket Books for Speakers of Spanish. 
Also go to your Online Practice.
