PAST SIMPLE VS PAST CONTINUOUS

When you are narrating events in English, you need to know how to use the Past Simple and the Past Continuous. A good use of these tenses will make you story more interesting and will grab other people's attention more easily.

In case you do not remember how to use it, have a look at the following slide:



Now it is high time for you to invent your own story and post it in this page.

Nota: Uno de los objetivos del primer y segundo ciclo de la ESO es que los alumnos desarrollen la habilidad de narrar hechos en el pasado, utilizando el pasado simple y el pasado continuo. Estas diapositivas pueden ser utilizadas en clase como primer acercamiento al tema o incluso como un recordatorio para los estudiantes más avanzados. Luego de la presentación de las diapositivas, se pedirá que escriban su propia redacción utilizando los tiempos verbales estudiados.

THE "TH" SOUND

If you watch this video, you will find an English teacher explaining how to pronounce the "TH" sound. It might be difficult at the beginning but I'm sure that if you try harder, you will definitely succeed.



Have you already tried? Could you do it properly? WELL DONE!!!
