TUESDAY 7 FEBRUARY 2017
Sometimes it is difficult to understand exactly what is happening.

When you describe  a picture, you can talk about facts ( The sky is blue ) or impressions ( It looks like summer (for more phrases with look ask me for a worksheet)).

Here are some more ways of talking about your impressions and opinions:

might    e.g It might be someone's birthday
I think   e.g I don't think they're going on holiday
perhaps / maybe   e.g Perhaps she's tired
probably  e.g It's probably summertime 

We can use modal verbs to describe how certain we are about something.

 100% - must - He must be a thief

50% / 60% - could - The door could be broken

30/40% - may - The keys may be lost

10/20% - might - He might be a mechanic

0% - can't - He can't be the owner

What do you think is happening in this situation?



You can also use modal verbs to speculate about the past. In this case use the modal verb plus have plus past participle

See here for more examples


and practise here


For more grammar exercises on modal verbs, see this book

MARTEDI 7 FEBBRAIO 2017

Per fare domande con il verbo essere, basta invertire l'ordine dello soggetto e l'ausiliare

I am Italian

Are you Italian?

Potete provare a rispondere a queste domande con il verbo essere.

Non dimenticare la risposta breve.


Anche con il verbo avere facciamo le domande allo stesso modo.

Vedere il libro do grammatica, Unit 9.

Provate a fare e a rispondere a queste domande con il verbo essere e il verbo avere per  ripassare.
