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.
