PRESENT PERFECT SIMPLE & CONTINUOUS

Activity for my students of Bachillerato:
We have been dealing with these tenses. As I have told you there is little difference between them. The Present Perfect Simple has more uses than the Present Perfect Continuous. This tense emphasizes that the action has been happening for some time or has been repeated, like the other continuous tenses.
There is an interesting link here with a brief explanations and exercises:

PAST SIMPLE & PRESENT PERFECT

Activity for my studentsof Bachillerato:

IT'S IS DIFFICULT TO FIND CLEAR EXERCISES TO DISTINGUISH BETWEEN THESE TENSES BUT THERE IS A LINK HERE THAT I LIKE.

http://www.clafoti.com/imagenes12/pres_past.htm

Remember that the PAST SIMPLE is used to express FINISHED ACTIONS AT A CONCRETE MOMENT whereas the PRESENT PERFECT SIMPLE  is used to express (RECENT ACTIONS, ACTIONS THAT STARTED IN THE PAST & CONTINUE IN THE PRESENT) & FINISHED ACTION WITHOUT SPECIFYING WHEN.

PAST SIMPLE & PAST CONTINUOUS

Activity for my  students of 4º ESO & Bachillerato:.
We have been dealing with the differences between Past Simple & Past Continuous in English:
  • Past Simple is used to express actions finished at a concrete moment.
  • Past Continuous is used to emphasize that an action has been happening for some time or has been repeated.
Here are some links you can have a look to practice the difference between both tenses:

Here there is a text where you have to write the verbs in the correct tense:

 And this is a fantastic blog I have found called My English Desk:
http://myenglishdesk.blogspot.com.es/2012/06/present-simple-vs-present-continuous.html

Enough, I think.

PRESENT SIMPLE

Activity for my students of 4º ESO & Bachillerato:
We have worked the Simple Present Tense
Remember that we use this tense to express HABITUAL ACTIONS.
The AFFIRMATIVE FORM is: I work.... he works....
The NEGATIVE FORM is: I don't work...he doesn't work....
The INTERROGATIVE FORM is: Do you work?...Does he work?...
The SHORT ANSWER is: Yes, I do/ No, I don't...Yes, he does/No, he doesn't
TIME EXPRESSIONS which go with this tense are: Every day, once a month, on Mondays, at the weekend and the FREQUENCY ADVERBS: always, usually, often, sometimes, never.

CONDITIONAL CLAUSES

Activity for my ACCESO students.
We dealt with Conditional Clauses at last! As you could see, they are not so difficult: Using the 1st, 2nd or 3rd Conditional depends on the POSSIBITITY of the fulfilment of the condition. You just have to use the VERBS correctly:
- 1st Conditional: If  Clause + Present Simple, Main Clause + Future.
- 2nd Conditional:  If  Clause + Past Simple, Main Clause + Conditional.
- 3rd Conditional:  If  Clause + Past Perfect, Main Clause + Perfect Conditional.
Be careful since the sentences can also start with the Main Clause and remember that there are other LINKS: whether, unless, in case...
You can do more exercises if you click this link:

RELATIVE CLAUSES

Activity for my ACCESO students.
We are working hard with compound sencences lately.
Remember that Relative Clauses have the same function in the Compound Sentence as an adjective in a Simple Sentence, that's why they get just beside the NOUN they describe. Rememeber that
- DEFINING RELATIVE CLAUSES give essential information to describe the noun, they don't have comas and the main links are: WHO (for people), WHICH (for things) & THAT (for both).
- NON-DEFINING RELATIVE CLAUSES give extra information, go between comas and the main links are: WHO (for people) & WHICH (for things).
I have found some links with interactive activities you can do. Good luck:
http://www.agendaweb.org/grammar/relative_pronouns_clauses-exercises.html

Remember that we did inverse crosswords in class. I have found a wonderful blog with crosswords which definitions are Relative Clauses. You can see how useful Relative Clauses are to DESCRIBE THINGS AND PEOPLE:
