English II: 26th May 2011.

Hi boys and girls. How are you? Fine ,sure.

This is the summary of our last class.

Exercises  of review:

CARD 5:

 Hemos corregido los ejercicios correspondientes al pasado simple y al pasado continuo que como ya hemos visto ambos tiempos se refieren al pasado pero el pasado simple si recordais hace referencia a una acción que ocurrió en el pasado pero esta ha acabado sin embargo el pasado continuo hace referencia a una acción que estaba en desarrollo en un momento determinado del pasado, es decir la acción aun no ha acabado.

Respecto al pasado simple recordaros que existen dos tipos de verbos los verbos regulares y los irregulares. Los verbos regulares hacen el pasado añadiendo la desinencia “–ed “ a la raíz del verbo mientras que los verbos irregulares  como ya hemos dicho muchas veces en clase hay que aprenderlos de memoria, así que ya  sabéis .

Aquí tenéis la corrección a los ejercicios:
