1 expressing desires and commands

with object + infinitive

Mama told me to take care

me = (indirect) object )= meewerkend voorwerp

to take = infinitive

I'd like you to pay attention

you = direct object = lijdend voorwerp

to pay = infinitive

2 make/let +object + base form

The teacher let me find it out myself.

He made me do it 

find and do are  verbs in the the base form

 (= infinitive whithout to)

This formula also works for verbs expressing perception: 

hear, see, feel

The teacher saw the student fall asleep

Fill in infinitive or base form

 writing (coming soon) and speaking end of the year. (about your reading portfolio)

you know what the reading and listening test looks like.

What about the writing test?

You’ll get 4 assignments to write a short text, each texty covering one domain. (about 120 words)

Here is an example of an assignment:

Bad luck: you are invited to a party (just imagine life is back to normal after Covid) at a very cool party. But at the same day uncle Arnie and aunt Betty are celebrating their wedding anniversary. What party you prefer isn’t hard to imagine. Your parents tell you you are allowed to go to your very cool party if you’ll write a personal letter for Arnie and Betty in which you congratulate them and explain them why you won’t be there.

How will this be graded?
