We use A when the word starts by consonants(for example a bag) but we use AN when the word starts by vowels (for example an answer). We did exercise 11 and 13 about CLASSROOM LANGUAGE. On page 12 you have information about the PLURAL. We practiced the plurals with the exercise 6 on page 12 and with the photocopy.

HAPPY HALLOWEN!!!!!

Dear students,

SORRY!!!!!!. Se me rompió el ordenador. But I'm here now. On Thursday and Friday you studied some vocabulary about HALLOWEEN. We reviewed the ABC and you learned how to ask:

WHAT'S........IN SPANISH?

HOW IS IT PRONOUNCED? or HOW DO YOU PRONOUNCE IT?

WHAT DOES.......MEAN?

On Friday we studied the PLURAL. In English there are 4 rules for the plural:

1. We add -S to the singular. For example: SPIDER SPIDERS

2. We add -ES to words ending in -S, -SS, -SH, -CH, -X, . For example: BUS BUSES

3. The words that end in -Y: They change Y for -I and we add ES. For example: BABY BABIES

4. The words that end in F:They change in V + ES. For example: HALF HAVES

REMEMBER: There are PLURALS in English that are IRREGULAR:

MAN - MEN

WOMAN - WOMEN

PERSON- PEOPLE

CHILD - CHILDREN

On Tuesday we continue with the PLURAL.
