Week 26, Lesson 2

Today

Recap future tense, relative pronouns and gerunds

Self-Test the above

Your Goals:

- I can make sentences with the proper future tense form

- I can make relative clauses with the proper relative pronouns

- I can make sentences with gerunds

Future tenses

You have already learned about the future tenses of 

will and to be going to

- the difference between will and shall (Grammar 1.3)

- and the forms of to be going to (Grammar 1.5)

Let's see what you remember

Okay, for so far the form

Now we get to the "when"

You have to know the difference between the use in these two

will/shall

promises

predictions without proof

decision making on the spot

to be going to

prediction with proof

decision making done before

will/shall

Promises 

> I will call you later, I promise!

Predictions without proof

> Mum thinks it will rain tomorrow.

Decision making on the spot

> Yes, we shall go to the concert with you tonight!

to be going to

Prediction with proof 

> Look at those clouds! It is goin to rain.

Decision making done before

> Sorry, I can't come. I'm going to visit my granny this weekend.

Gerunds (1/4)

Gerunds are verbs turned into nouns. Why?

1. to use it as a subject

2. to use it as a direct object after verbs of feeling and phase

3. to use it after prepositions

4. to use it after set expressions

Gerunds (2/4)

1. as a subject:

Singing is fun.

Having a friend like you is great.

2. after verbs of feeling and phase

I love travelling.

They stopped seeing each other.

3. after prepositions (voorzetzels)

I am fond of dancing.

there is no point in waiting.

4. after expressions (uitdrukkingen)

It's no use trying it again.

I look forward to meering you.

Gerunds (3/4)

Forming the gerund

Normally verb+ing: singing/waiting/meeting/seeing

Just like you do in the present continuous!

But, yes, as there are exceptions in spelling in the continuous the same expections apply to the gerund>

Gerunds (4/4)

1. verbs of 1 syllable ending in consonant-vowel-consonant > double the last consonant > stopping

2. verbs ending in consonant+e> drop the "e" > making

3. verbs of 2 syllalbles anding in "el" > double "l"> travelling

Let's do this

Go to eDition, Unit 6, Self-Test and do C-E

Do you score less than 70%? > Do the corresponding grammar excerise(s) in Catch Up first (Unit 6 > Catch Up)

Scored higher than 70%? > Go to CommonLit, create an account (use your outlook username and password), enter KL4RGQ and do the assigned text

CommonLit

Those who first had to do a or some Catch Up exercises also have to do the CommonLit text afterwards.

If you did not have enough time to finish the text, 

finish it at home.

Look back

If I am right you can now make

- sentences with the proper future tense form

- relative clauses with the proper relative pronouns 

- sentences with gerunds

Correct, right? However, if you still have some questions, 

feel free to ask them!

Look forward
