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:

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). Here you'll find some further explanations to the word pairs we've seen in class. I hope you feel less confused!

Easily Confused Words

By Isabelsaez_english

All / Whole
Remember / Remind
Borrow / Lend
Bring / Take
Earn / Beat / Win
Expect / Hope / Wait

Practice writing one sentence with each where the difference in meaning is obvious.

0 Adverbs of degree: They're incredibly fun!

Adverbs of degree express intensity. It's not the same to say She's pretty, than She's incredibly pretty! or That is stupid than That is completely stupid. There are plenty of different adverbs so have a look at the following website for further explanation and practice:

Adverbs of degree: explanation. Scroll down for activities.

0 Are you bored or boring?

In English, you can form adjectives by adding the suffixes -ed or -ing to a verb. For example, from Bore you can have boring or bored. The problem is that there is a big difference in meaning and sometimes it's easy to mix them up. So, to have a bit more practice you can have a look at the following web pages for further explanation and online exercises:
