Hello everyone! 🙂
Tuesday:
Today we are going to look at the difference between the use of the verbs «do» and «make» in English.
First I’d like you to answer some questions for me:
What do the verbs «do» and «make» mean exactly?
Can you give as many examples as possible of the verb «do» being used in a sentence?
Can you give as many examples as possible of the verb «make» being used in a sentence?
Is there any general rule we can apply do know when we have to use «do» and when we have to use «make»?
Will there be exceptions to this general rule?
Now let’s look at the Powerpoint Presentation which explains the use of these verbs in more details and let’s practice separating different household activities (chores) depending on whether they take «do» or «make».
Finally, in the second part of the Powerpoint presentation, let’s look a little at phonetics and practise our pronunciation of household vocabulary.
If we have time we can play a bamboozle about «make» and «do»:

Thursday:
Today we are going to revise the modal verbs of obligation, necessity and advice.
Before we look at the Powerpoint presentation I have prepared, I would like to ask you some questions about:
Can you think of examples of modal verbs of obligation in English?
Are they the same as in Spanish?
Can you think of examples of modal verbs for (negative) necessity in English, i.e. it’s not necessary that…?
Do we use this verb in negative in the same way in Spanish?
Can you think of examples of modal verbs of advice in English?
Are they the same as in Spanish?
Let’s watch a short video from the British Council website (up to minute 3.24) to make sure we understand the differences between the modals:
Now let’s look at the Powerpoint presentation and practise making sentences with these modals (slides 22-35).
To practise what we have learnt from the Powerpoint presentation a little more, let’s do a Kahoot about these modal verbs:

Obligation: should or shouldn’t/ must or mustn’t/ have to
Necessity (negative) : don’t have to
Advice: Should or shouldn’t
Ability: Can or can’t/ to be able or to not be able
