In the Year 2020...

Week 21^st – 23^rd

Welcome back!

We finished our music quiz. Sergio and Jorge were the winners! They know more about music than Raquel and Loli. Or they were luckier, who knows?

Loli knew that Bob Marley died of cancer. The cancer started under his toe nail!

We also learnt some geographical facts:

·         Mount Makalu is higher than Annapurna.

·         The Pacific Ocean is bigger than the Atlantic.

·         Asia’s population is bigger than Africa’s.

·         The country East Timor is younger than Palua.

We made predictions and gave opinions about the year 2020.

·        You think that most people will do most of their shopping online.

·        Planes might be able to fly without pilots, although that sounds scary for some of you.

·        People may have computers inside their heads.

·        But you don’t think that robots will take over (assume control of) the world!

Will is used for predictions. May for possibility. Might is also used for possibility but it’s more tentatively (less certain) than may.

We use “be able to” when it’s impossible to use “can”.

·          I won’t be able to come to class next Monday. I won’t can…

·          I’d like to be able to speak Chinese. I’d like to can …

·          I love being able to lie in (stay in bed longer) on Sundays. I love + ing

·          I haven’t been able to find him anywhere. Have + participle

Can, could, be able to - exercises

Don’t forget to revise for the test:

·         Present simple, continuous, perfect.

·         Future simple, going to, present continuous.

·         Comparative and superlative adjs.

·         Quantifiers: too, enough, much, many, little, a few

·         “the” or no article.
