Adverbs of Frequency. Pronunciation of "s"

Monday & Wednesday 6^th- 8^thOctober, 2014

Hello! How are you doing?

We’re having a rainy weekend! And we will probably have a rainy week!

What did we learnt last week?  We revised adverbs and expressions of frequency.

Remember the position of adverbs of frequency:

Before the main verb	Danny hardly ever does housework.	George never goes to the dentist.	Mary usually does sport or exercise.
After the verb “to be”	Christine is never at home in the morning.
In questions, after the subject.	Is Liza often late for work?	Do you often buy flowers?
Expressions of frequency, at the end of the sentence.	Steve goes to the hairdresser’s twice a year.	Christian goes on holiday three times a year.	Miranda  sees her best friend every weekend.

We read and talk about sharing flats.

We both agreed that it’s really important to choose the perfect flat mates. The difference between choosing the people you are going to share a flat with, right or wrong is that your sharing experience becomes perfect or a nightmare!

We started talking about sports.

We learnt which sports are used after go, play and do.

Can you think of more sports to complete the chart?

 

Go	Do	Play

           

I’m sure you know more sports tan me…even the rules; but do you know so many in English? Here you are some links on vocabulary on sports!!

Are You a Sporty Person?

We practised pronunciation of different “S” sounds.

Plurals or present simple, 3^rd person singular (he, she, it)

‘s’ is pronounced /s/ after /k,p,f,t/ walks, stops, laughs, eats

‘es’ is pronounced /Iz/ after /tʃ/ churches /s/ dresses /ʃ/(sh) washes /ʤ/ bridges.

In all other cases the final‘s’ is pronounced /z/ plays, parties etc.

We also practised the pronunciation of /ʃ/ shower and /ʒ/ television
Pronunciation /s/ /z/

And that was all! We’ll continue tomorrow!

See you!
