0 MORE RELATIVE CLAUSES

Once again we've ran out of time to prepare for tomorrow's test on Relative clauses, so here you have the rest of the sentences we were working on in class. Some of them have more than one possible solution, but I stuck to the way we've practiced in class as I don't want to mess you up. So, if you have any different one, don't assume it's wrong without asking me first. You know where to find me if you need it!

0 Conditionals

The last few weeks we've been working hard on conditional sentences. As we're running out of time I'm posting the answers for the last of the worksheets we've been doing in class. So, as always, do the exercise first on your own and then check with the answer sheet if you did it right. If you have any doubt ask me, sometimes there may be more than one option and maybe yours is ok too. So check with me too, ok?

Remember:

ATTENTION! here you have the part with the translations! I didn't add them before because I didn't want you to think there's only one possible answer. With translations there are usually more than one way to do it right. Anyway, as some of you have asked for them, here you are. I've tried to include as many possible answers as I could think of. If you have any question, you know where to find me.

0 Easily confused words

There are some words in English which are really difficult to distinguish, either because they have similar spellings (quiet, quite) or their meanings are related some way (lend, borrow).

Easily Confused Words

By Isabelsaez_english
