Here we are, in the middle of the winter. And we are studying the Present Continuous.

Last week we practiced many verbs. And we tried to practiced  all the persons. It takes a while to get used to it. Specially when it comes to asking questions. Remember the English language is very strict with the order of words: we need to put the subject between the auxiliary (am, are, is) and  verb+ing.

Are you reading the newspaper?

Is your son studying English?

Am I talking too much?

We also reviewed the possessive case: This is my brother's girlfriend.

Aunt Mary's daughter is my favorite cousin. 

I can't lend you this book, it is not mine, it is Jack's (Jack's book).

In our last lesson we reviewed phrases and questions that we need to use in class, like:

Can I come in?

How do you say... in English?

What does...... mean?

Can I borrow your pen?.

How do you spell...?

Can I ask a question?

Etc.
