Last week: Unit 6, lesson 27

• We talked about white lies ('een leugentje om bestwil')
• The book told us about Amy who wrote an email to Sophie, telling her she was worried about Jess and Darren.
• The vocabulary from last lesson had to do with (not) telling the truth and looking for advice.
• The grammar exercises from last lesson included: had better/ would rather/ should, -ing vorm, used to + hele ww

Before we start:
What happens when you get caught shoplifting in the Netherlands?

Antwoord

Je krijgt een (hoge) boete. Als het vaker is gebeurd, en je bent minderjarig, kun je een taakstraf krijgen. Ben je ouder dan 18 en komt er geweld bij kijken, dan kun je een gevangenisstraf krijgen.

Grammar explanation

The next slides contain the explanation and some examples of the following grammatical features:

• past simple vs. past continuous
• had better / would rather / should
• -ing vorm

You need this information for the exercises in the workbook

Grammar: past simple vs. past continuous (Helpdesk A6)

• You use the past simple when you want to talk about when something happened. (Vertellen wanneer iets gebeurde. Vaak een tijdsbepaling.)

Mum rang from home an hour ago. /  I bought my nintendo switch a year ago. /  She walked to school yesterday. 

• You use the past continuous when you want to talk about something that was going on when something happened. (Vertellen wat er aan de gang was toen iets gebeurde).

I was talking on the phone when my brother walked into the room. / They were watching tv when the power went out. 

Grammar: had better / would rather /should (Helpdesk B4 + B5)

• had better + hele werkwoord = 'kon maar beter'

You'd better not lie to your close friends.

• would rather + hele werkwoord = 'zou liever'

She would rather not talk about it, if you don't mind.

• should + hele werkwoord = 'zou (eigenlijk) moeten'

You don't have to tell me what I should do, I already know.

Grammar: -ing vorm (Helpdesk B13)

• You use this after the verbs love, like, hate, stop, start, begin:
  

He loves playing videogames. / I hate flying. / She stopped listening to you. / We like going to the movies.

• You can also use the -ing vorm at the start of a sentence:

Cycling to school is not my favourite thing to do. / Running a marathon cannot be easy. / Shoplifting is a common crime.

• Or after a preposition (na een voorzetsel):

I'm not good at playing soccer. / They are sorry for ruining the party. 

Unit 6, lesson 28:

• Do exercises 20-26 in your workbook on pages 149-153!
  
• Read the blue grammar box before you start with the grammar exercises (exercises 21, 23, and 25).  
• For extra grammar instructions, always

       check the Helpdesk in the back of the 

       coursebook. 

Homework:

Make sure to finish all the exercises from lesson 28 before next week Friday (the 10th of July). So, exercises 20-26.
