ESL / EFL comparatives and superlatives

These last weeks we have been studying comparative and superlative structures in our classes.  This chart summarizes the main points that you have to keep in mind:

If you want to download the worksheet used in class, click here and if you want to check if you already know this grammar structure, you may try this Hot Potatoes exercise.

ESL / EFL Past simple tense

When is the past simple tense used?

• For completed action in the past (We saw your sister yesterday.)
• For a series of completed actions (I woke up, had a shower, had breakfast and went to school.)
• For longer actions that start and stop in the past; time expressions usually go with it (My sister lived in London for years.)
• For talking about habits which stopped in the past (She studied Japanese when she was in high school.)
• For past facts or generalizations (Old people never played football.)

How is it made?

• Positive sentence → Subject + verb+ ed or irregular form (I played with her.- She came with us.)
• Questions → Auxiliary verb + subject +verb (Did they read the story?)
• Negative sentence → Subject + auxiliary verb + verb ( I didn’t like it.) 

 More practice

•  Irregular verb forms (translations are in French)
• Irregular verb test (all the verbs in your textbook)
• Isabel Perez - grammar and practice
• Verb tense quiz
• Complete these sentences in the past simple tense - fill in the gaps
• Writing sentences in order (Isabel Pérez)
• Fernando Alonso text (Isabel Pérez)
• Shakira's life (Isabel Pérez)
• Thanksgiving day (Isabel Pérez)

ESL / EFL Revision of "be" and "have got"

You probably remember the rules that you must follow to use verbs be and have got correctly.You studied them last year. If you need some extra revision, why don't you read the corresponding pages in www.isabelperez.com and study them or download the following sheets (about be and have got) that I have prepared for you?

Then you can try the following on-line exercise or you can try and write a short text about yourself and send it to your teacher for correction.

Imperial vs. metric units of measurement

British and American people do not use the metric system. They use the Imperial units of measurement. But, do you know them?
Did you know that Pau Gasol is 7 ft 0 in tall? And Shakira 5 ft 2 in?
It's 2,790 miles between New York and Los Angeles? How much is it in kilometres?
How big is a pint of liquid?
And a pound? Do chocolate bars weigh more or less than a pound?
What units are used in the UK and US to measure the following items?
petrol or fuel for a car

• milk
• a house
• water
• somebody's weight
• somebody's height
• temperature

If you want to convert units of measurement there are several useful websites:
