ADS TO LEARN ENGLISH

Some ads are very funny (or not). Watch this video by Mercedes:

The conversation is:
G-Hello! I'd like to order French fries, a burger and a milk shake.
L.A- This is a library!
G- (in a low voice) I'd like to order.....

Do you think it is funny? Well, in the end it was banned (prohibido). What do you think about it?

Now, here is another commercial by Coca-Cola

Funny way to pick up a girl!

PRESENT TENSE versus PRESENT CONTINUOUS

This video shows some of the differences between the present tense and the present continuous tense in English.

And for those who need more, here is another video to learn the use of the present continuous:

CHOCOLATE IS NOT ALWAYS SWEET!

Chocolate is something you eat for pleasure, until you discover the appalling things that happen on cocoa plantations. In the production of cocoa beans even children are being exploited. Slavery still exists.

Unbelievable!! and discouraging too!

WHAT TIME IS IT? (revision)

There are two ways to tell time in English: on a digital watch or on a standard watch or clock.
Watch the following video to revise how to tell the time:


Remember that you can say "it is twenty after two or it is twenty past two"

THE PRESENT CONTINUOUS

How do we form the present continuous tense? Watch this video to refresh grammar:

A TYPICAL DAY

Victoria Fontana is a teacher from madridteacher.com. The following video is about a typical day in her life. It has two parts: the first one without subtitles and the second with subtitles.
Watch the first part and try and answer the question: What does she study?
Did you get the correct answer?
If not, watch the second part and see if you can find it. When you know the answer, watch the video again and do the questionnaire.

FREQUENCY ADVERBS

Sometimes we don't know HOW OFTEN a person does something (for example: go to the cinema; wash his/her hair; do the shopping etc). Then we ask him/her

How often do you....?

Frequency adverbs: always, sometimes, rarely, seldom, never... are used to answer questions like the previous one. Watch this video and revise the rules studied today in class.

Was it useful? I hope so. By the way: "twice a week" means "dos veces por semana".

THE SIMPLE PRESENT TENSE

Watch this video (the teacher speaks with an American accent) about how to form the present tense for "learn" (aprender, estudiar):

And now, see how to form the present tense negative for the verb "eat" (comer):

Easy, isn't it?
