Hello!
Last Thursday students were asking each other about things they like doing in their free time. The questions are:
What do you like doing in your free time?
How often do you __________?
When do you ____________?
Who do you _________ with?
We also studied some sports. When we talk about team sports or the sport involves the use of a ball or something similar we use the verb play.
We play football, basketball, baseball, volleyball, tennis.
We use the verb go for other sports:
We go swimming, cycling, skiing, running.
Still, there are some other sports that require the use of the verb do.
We do judo, yoga, aerobics.
I hope you enjoyed your weekend.I´ll see you Tuesday.

Hi!
How is it going? Are you having a nice weekend? I am glad it's not so hot any more. It's a bit windy though.
Here is a link for you to study food partitives. You must click on the video, the one on top. http://www.englishmedialab.com/elementaryvideos/food%20qty/food%20qty.html
You can also practice those partitives playing this game. http://eslgamesworld.com/members/games/vocabulary/memoryaudio/food/index.html

Hi everybody!
Last week we reviewed and practiced the verb tenses we have studied: the Present Simple and the Present Continuous through a very interesting exercise. We focused on the 3rd Person, singular and plural. Students had to ask each other about various people usual activities and also about their activities one particular day.
When we ask about what somebody usually does we use the Present Simple and say:
What does he/she usually do in the morning?
or
What does he/she usually do in the afternoon?
or
What does he usually do in the evening?
If we are asking about 2 or more people we say:
What do they usually do in the morning?
What do they usually do in the afternoon?
What do they usually do in the evening?
I f we are asking about what are doing a particular day, today, for instance, we use the Present Continuous and say:
What is he/she doing today in the morning?
What is he/she doing today in the afternoon?
What is he/she doing today in the evening?
If we are asking about 2 or more people we say:
What are they doing today in the morning?
What are they doing today in the afternoon?
What are they doing today in the evening?
We also practiced the verb like. This verb is just like any other verb in English (not in Spanish) so we have to be careful. The subject is always the person (or animal), not the thing.
This time we also practiced the 3rd person. We watched a video: in the video a boy and a girl had a conversation about foods and drinks they liked. Then we practiced the questions:
Does the girl like chicken?
Does the boy like rice?
Do the children like spaghetti?
And the short answers:
Yes, she does or No, she doesn't.
Yes, he does, or No he doesn't.
Yes, they do or No, they don't.
Well, I hope this little summary is helpful. See you next Tuesday.

Last Thursday I had a face to face lesson with Luis. He promised he would send you the homework: he has more technical means that I do, which is great.
Anyway, last week we practiced talking about clothes again so you don't forget: we also described people again. Remember:
I am wearing a blue sweater and jeans.
Notice that when we say something singular, such as sweater, we need to say the article a, but when we say jeans, which is plural, we don't use an article.
If we want to ask about somebody's clothes we'll say.
What's he/she wearing?
Then we continued with the food and saying what things we like, what things we love and what things we hate.
We practiced the determiners some and any and asked questions using:
Is there...? (for countable singular nouns and uncountable nouns)
Are there...? (for countable plural nouns)
Have we got any...?
We also learned the terms starter, main course and dessert.
We practiced conversations of people who are making a shopping list. We read the conversations and tried to role played them.
I hope you enjoy your weekend. I'm sure Luis will, riding his motorcycle. By the way I saw it in the news in TV. Lots of people travelling to Jerez on their machines. And yesterday I saw a group on them on the road.
