Homework Básico 1. 7th February

Empezamos la unidad 4B. Son verbos para expresar cosas que te gustan o no. Van seguidos de gerundio que en inglés se hace añadiendo "-ing" al verbo. Pero hay unas reglas: podéis consultarlas en la página 239 de la gramática "Essential Grammar in Use".

Leed el texto de la página 43 del libro de clase. Decidid qué frase habla de hombres y cuál de mujeres. Después subraya una frase que creas que es cierta y otra que es mentira.

Haz también el ejercicio 4B-b de la página 129 del libro de clase.

The first one is a list of words and their translation into Spanish. They are organized in categories.
