Today's goals: 

1. I know words about my home and the place I live in, including prepositions of place. 

2. I know how to use articles 

3. I can answer questions about a girl living on a boat 

Something else first: 

Tomorrow is the deadline for the cooking video. 
Is there anything you want to tell me or ask me about this? 

Careful: the deadline is 17:00 because I don't want you to have to work too late. 

Check your work 

Turn to page 14 - 17. 

Choose a partner with whom you DIDN'T work when you were doing the exercises. 

Compare your answers. Are they the same? You're probably right. Different? See if you can figure out why.

I will do a class round in 8-10 minutes to see if anything is still unclear.

Articles (lidwoorden) 

A / an	Gebruik je als je iets voor de eerste keer benoemt, het is niet duidelijk waar het precies over gaat (een) I have a test tomorrow, so I can't go out with you. Dit komt alleen voor bij woorden in het ENKELVOUD
The	Gebruik je als je specifiek verwijst naar iets dat al bekend is, al eerder benoemd: The English teacher said that the test would be easy. DIT KAN BIJ WOORDEN IN HET ENKELVOUD EN HET MEERVOUD
Geen lw	Geen lidwoord: - Voor zaken in het meervoud waar je in het enkelvoud "an" zou gebruiken. - Voor zelfstandig naamwoorden waarvan je de hoeveelheid niet weet. - Voor eigennamen bv. landen, provincies, steden, straten, bergen, eilanden, talen, sporten, mensen

A / an for jobs 

In het Nederlands gebruik je in de volgende gevallen wél een lidwoord terwijl je dat in het Engels niet doet: 

bij namen van banen komt dit het meeste voor. 

My father is a builder, my mother is a nurse. 

No article or the 

Sommige woorden komen zowel met als zonder lidwoord voor. Het gaat dan vooral om gebouwen en instellingen. 

I am in the hospital - je bent in het gebouw
I am in hospital - je ligt er als patient. 

He lives near the school - bij het gebouw.

He goes to university - hij studeert er. 

A or an? 

Je gebruikt "a" als de beginKLANK van het volgende woord een medeklinker is. 

Je gebruikt "an" als de beginKLANK van het volgende woord een klinker is. 

Meestal is de beginklank hetzelfde als in de spelling, maar niet altijd. 
Hoe spreek je de volgende woorden uit? 

Uniform, university, hour, honest?  

Dus? 

Time to move around a bit 

In different places in the classroom there are four pieces of paper: one with a, one with an, one with the, one empty paper which means "no article". 

I am going to show you a number of sentences. Which article should you use? Walk over to the correct place and stay there until the next sentence.

Our lottery dream home 

Picture this.... 

- Work with a partner. This whole activity is in English! 

- You and your partner (let's imagine you're willing to share a home) have won a wonderful prize: you can have your dream home built, without ever having to look at the cost. 

- Tomorrow, you have a meeting with the architect, the landscaping architect (for the garden) and the interior designer. 

- Your job today: come up with an exact description of what your house should be like: what elements should it have? What things would have to be in the rooms? 

- You have to agree on everything and you may have to compromise. 

- You have fifteen minutes for this. Make sure you write down everything you decide on! 

- I will tell you what your next assignment is when the fifteen minutes are over. 

Some language you could use: 

"I would definitely want to have a .... (pool, hot tub, slide, firepit, indoor football pitch etc. " 

"There should be a ...... (comfortable sofa / aquarium bed / walk-in closed) in ... "

"In the ...... (garden, living room, basement, bedroom)  I want there to be a ...... "

"I want to be able to ...... (play tennis / swim / exercise / have twenty-five cats / make my own icecream)"

"I would not want to ..... (do the dishes, walk too much, walk any stairs, go outside to get in the pool" 

You can look up words online and of course you can ask me for help! 

Now what? 

- Work with another pair. 

- Make sure you have a piece of paper 

- One of you describes your dream home to the other. The other pair draws what you tell them. 

- Take turns doing this 

- At the very end, I will ask some of you to describe the dream home and I will show off my phenomenal (...) drawing skills!
