Intermedio 1- Comparison

This is the PowerPoint presentation about the comparison.

 And if you need more practise on the comparison, download this worksheet and the key.
And if you click here, you can do a quiz online. There are some questions which contain exceptions which I haven't told you about,
The (soon) you get there the better... -> Cuanto antes llegues mejor
This book is the (good) of the two -> The superlative for two things is made with the comparative.
These structures are not part of the curriculum in Intermedio 1, so you don't have to learn them.
And on this site there are loads of exercises for you to practise English. Some of them might be a bit difficult. Have a look.
Here you can answer questions about "degree" (very, absolutely, really). But first you might like to revise them by clicking here.
This is the worksheet for the song below.

Básico 1: Spelling and grammar

Grammar can be boring but it is more fun if you learn while you play. Try these games. Some of the sentences may be difficult because of the vocabulary or the tenses, sorry.
La gramática puede ser aburrida pero es más divertida si se aprende jugando. Probad estos juegos. Algunas frases pueden ser difíciles por el vocabulario o los tiempos verbales, lo siento.

Lots of spelling games. Choose the vocabulary you want to learn.
Muchos juegos de ortografía. Escoged el vocabulario que queráis aprender.

For those who are starting, try this online course. There is a bit of everything: vocabulary, grammar, listening... I hope you like it.
Para los que estáis empezando, probad este curso online. Hay un poco de todo: vocabulario, gramática, comprensión oral,... Espero que os guste.

You can try units 1 and 2 on this site. The problem is that you have to click to know what the exercise is about. Unit 1 is the verb to be and unit 2 is possessive adjectives. Again, it can be difficult for beginners, sorry.
Podéis probar las unidades 1 y 2 de este sitio. El problema es que tenéis que pinchar para saber de qué va el ejercicio. La unidad 1 es el verbo "to be" y la 2 los adjetivos posesivos. Una vez más, puede ser difícil para los que empezáis este año.

Básico 1. Personal pronouns, was-were, listening

Personal pronouns
Play this game and revise personal pronouns. There are more games at the bottom of the page. Don't do the games for "possessive pronouns".
And this is another game.

Was / were
And this is to practise "was / were". Some words are difficult, sorry.
Was were exercise: not very funny. But there are many more here.
Use these videos to practise pronunciation.



Listening:

• Telling the time.
• Spelling (the sound is not very good)
• Dates (American English)
• Hobbies: difficult vocabulary
• Free time activities: listen and match sounds and pictures for free time activities. There are more on this site
• Family

This is an interesting website: englishpond.com. There are grammar, listening and vocabulary exercises. Have a look (echad un vistazo)

Básico 2 - Past simple

You asked me if there is a site where you can practise the pronunciation of irregular verbs. GOOD NEWS! I've been surfing the net and here you are: click here.
You can download an app for your mobile phone (android).

In this post you have a couple of presentations and exercises for this grammar point.

BBC is great to learn English: here you are some videos to revise the past simple. You can read the script at the same time as you listen if you find them difficult (some of them are not very easy). Pay special attention to pronunciation. And answer the comprehension questions.

Pronunciation of regular verbs is a nightmare, isn't it? Try to do these quizzes. (Me parece que hay un problema en la página y no se pueden corregir online pero podéis verlo en las útilmas páginas de esta copia) Don't worry if you make mistakes with "t" and "d", for me that is not important. If you don't make mistakes when you choose "id", that's perfect.
