Tag Questions

Tuesday, January 13

In this class we introduced ourselves. The introduction was a little different to the others quarters, because the professor asked us a personal questions like which is the goal of our life, among other questions. She did it to made us talk more and I think that this is what we need to practice.
Then, chose the three topic of the e-magazine.
Afterwards, we solve the page 7 of the active book, this page contained vocabulary about relationships like:

MAKE A GOOD IMPRESSION

  

TO CLICK (WITH SOMEONE)

TO BE ON THE SAME WAVELENGTH

Later, we joined us in couples to practice the vocabulary learned.

The professor did a feedback about the previous class. She asked us to create questions with the vocabulary learned that day. Later, we read the page 8 of the Active Book and solved the exercises corresponding of this topic. Then, the teacher put us on a recording of the page 10, this recording included the tag questions.

Tag questions are used to confirm the information that has spoken previously and also it helps to continue a conversation.

Example:

John is a teacher of mathematics, isn’t he?

María plays soccer, doesn’t she?

To leave the topic clear the professor did a short dynamic. We joined in groups 4 and each group has to passed in front of the class and invent a dialogue according to the topic (Tag Questions).

For homework the professor gave us to do the page 4,5 and 6 of the Workbook.

We checked the homework in page 6 of workbook. Then we solve the exercises 4 and 6 of the ActiveBook. These exercises were about of Pronouns Using (any/every/no/some). We use pronouns using (any/ every…) to make allusion to things or people of a wide way.

In a positives sentences we use some. Also some are used frequently when we offer something or when we make an invitation of a thing.

Example:

There are some eggs.

I’m making some cookies.

I need some milk.

We used any in a negative sentences

Example:

María didn't say any lie.

Joseph haven’t bought any chocolate box.

There are not any book.

The difference between any and some is that, any makes reference to one thing at one time, instead, every makes reference to a lot of things at the same time. (Active Book, page 127).

Every is used with the following structure….. 

Structure        

Every + singular noun

Example:

She liked every song.

I met everyone in my party.

We did every dish.
