LERNING

This topic is considered basic, serves very well to make requests or ask if you are good at something. To respond, in this issue

there are several ways to answer, not only the typical whether or not.

THE IMPERATIVE

Activity

o Use to give orders.

o It is form with the base form of the verb.

o It does not have a subject.

o It ends with an exclamation mark (!)

o The negative is formed with DON’T.

Clean the house!

Do your homework!

Don’t tell lies!

Be on time!

Swim fast!

Sweep the kitchen!

Don’t disturb!

Paint the house!

Clean the yard!

THE IMPERATIVE

Use to give

orders.

The negative is

formed with

DON’T.

It ends with an

exclamation

mark (!)

It does not have

a subject.

It is form with

the base form of

the verb.

Examples

Clean the home! Don’t tell lies!

LERNING

The imperative is a reminder, as you can see in the topic, is used to give orders, the verb is always is its base form, ends with

the exclamation mark and its negative formed with DON’T.

PHRASAL VERBS

Phrasal verbs are usually two – word phrases consisting of verb + adverb or verb + preposition. Think of them as you would

any other English vocabulary.

LERNING

We can use to speak in a more informal manner because by combining verbs with an adverb or a preposition have a different

meaning to what you would get the verb in its base form.

SONG

REFLE CTION.

The song speaks about human values, it’s

hard to live in peace with society, instead

of that let’s make a change, only we will

have weakened the world with our acts,

we have become selfish and

individualistic people, if we are not best,

the world will become a battle field.

SHOULD – SHOULDN’T

Activity

To whom it may concern.

the following things:

At the moment is all, I hope and will take these comments into account.

Thank’s.

LERNING
