Day 2- Present perfect/ Modal verbs

22^nd March

At the beginning of the class, we wrote some questions using the Present Perfect to ask our partners about their week. Some of the questions and answer that we did, they are:

• What have you done that week? I have gone to the beach
• Have you seen your family? Yes, I was with my family on Sunday
• Where have you been on Tuesday? On Tuesday, I have been at the University

To do this in pairs, we changed sits to interact with the others partners.

Then, we did a reading exercise, where we had to understand an airport's timetable.

Later, we answered some questions about this timetable and wrote others to practice our pronunciation.

• I`m on flight BA 302. Will I have something to eat?
• I would like to fly to Nantes on Sunday, is it possible?
• Is flight AF 1863, on Sunday, non-stop?

We practiced Modal Verbs too and their meaning.

Possibility, ability, permission and request	CAN COULD MAY MIGHT
Obligation	MUST HAVE TO
Request	WILL WON´T
Suggestions and advice	SHOULD WOULD COULD WILL
Offers and invitations	WOULD SHALL CAN WILL

And we checked some sentences what we underlined the modal verbs and wrote the modal verbs refer to (obligation, request, suggestion…).

We did some exercises about this.

1) Match sentences:

- I´m tired; may I sit here?

- She doesn´t have to translate the letter into English, only into German.

- …

2) Fill de gaps with an appropriate modal verb.

- My teacher told me that I have to review my notes every day. I guess it´s a good idea to look at them after class.

- I didn´t feel very well yesterday. I couldn´t eat anything

- …

3) Fill the gaps with the correct modal verb (Can, could, might, may)

- They might be away for the weekend but I´m not sure

-You may leave now if you wish

- …

Then, we did two listening exercises. The first one was more difficult than the second. We thought, it could be because the speakers were from U.S and a lot of words they pronounced in a different way and they shorten some words. The first listening was about a dialogue at an airport; and the second one about a conversation in a car rental.

At the end of the class, we read 3 different conversations at the post office, in pairs, and then we had to do a dialogue and then read it to our classmates.

To finish the class, Maria José explained us some homework that we had to for the following week. It was about an job offer. We had to read it and answer some question about it.
