Recap time!

How do we call this in English?

Make a sentence by using the word: (bereid zijn tot). Use atleast 7 words for your sentence

How would you describe the word: mutual friend?

Writing a something to a dear friend is also called an .............. letter.

Today Present tense time!

Sounds familiar? 

are walking

in the park

We

after school

with the dog

every morning

are cycling

They

to school

The present Simple

When and why should we use the Present Simple?

The present simple is used for a gewoonte (routine) or a fact (habits) or if something is (not) regularly.
In the regular case we mostly see these type of words:
 usually, often, always, never, sometimes 

Example : I always go to school by bike.

How does it work?

I, you, we -> infinitive (hele werkwoord)

He , she and It -> The infinitive +s (es)

How do you form a present simple?

 Present Continuous 

Something is going on as we speak

Present Simple: I walk to school everyday

Present Continuous: At the moment I am walking to school
 

Present continuous

To form a present continuous sentence: 

Am / are / is + verb + ing

We are enjoying the sun

You are listening to the explanation 

I am explaining the present continuous tense again. 

 Present Continuous 

I	walk	am walk ing
you	walk	are walk ing
he/she/it	walks	is walk ing
we	walk	are walk ing
you	walk	are walk ing
they	walk	are walk ing

Present Simple vs Present Continuous​

Present simple	Present continuous
Gewoontes Feiten Regelmatig	Nu Vaak ergert aan iets Nabije toekomst
always, every day/week/month/year, never, often, sometimes and usually	now, today, at the moment, right now, always, Look! and Listen!

How to tackle gaps in texts

A ‘gap text’ is a text in which some words or sentences have been left out. You have to fill in the missing words or sentences.

How do you nail this exercise?

How to tackle gaps in text (2)

To tackle a gap text you … 

• Don’t read the possible answers yet.
•  Read the text before and after the gap.
• Determine whether there is a connection between the text before and after the gap.
• Determine the function of the missing word or sentence.
• Think of a word or sentence that you believe is fitting and see whether it is one of the possible answers to fill the gap.
