Welcome!

Happy to see you today!

Take a seat and wait till we get started!

Today:

- practice quantifiers

- repeat grammar

- practice all grammar

goal: at the end of the lesson you have practiced grammar and know what grammar will be on the test

quantifiers

what were they again? 

First: (un)countable nouns

A noun can be countable and uncountable 

countable nouns you can count, you can have 3 oranges or a few  chairs. 

uncountable nouns are a little more vague. you can have so much milk or very little patience

uncountable nouns are not usually seen in plural form

Quantifiers

• A quantifier says something about what amount of something there is
• Which quantifiers you can use depend on if the noun is countable or uncountable
• some quantifiers work for both countable and uncountable nouns 

Quantifiers

Practice

• You have 5 minutes to fill in the worksheet.
• You can choose the normal worksheet or the 'step up' worksheet if you want more of a challenge.

grammar we've done so far

short repetition

take notes! 

future - preposition - modal - word order - quantifier 

future tense

will: predictions, offers and promises, spontaneous decisions

going to: very sure predictions, intentions, previously made decisions

present continuous: plans and arrangements, mention when

present simple: things in a schedule or timetable. it's a fact that it will happen, it always happens then. 

prepositions

prepositions act to connect the people, objects, time and locations of a sentence

by - from - in - of - on - to

difference between to and too

modal verbs

can, could, may, might, must, should, have to, shall, will, would, to be able to

Modals in the past tense: 

[modal] + have + verb in past tense

I must have forgotten my bag

he should have walked right into my trap

word order

most important: 

subject - who/what does the action?

predicate - the action that happens

object - to who/what does the action happen?

all together

active sentences

subject - (frequency) - predicate - (manner) - object - (place) - (time)

Question sentences

predicate - subject - object

passive sentences
