Dear Students,

Welcome to English VI! During this school year we will be doing different activities in webpages and projects. Please make sure you do them as requested, for the deadlines will not be changed.

September 

1. Click on the link for English Grammar Online and check the table for English Tenses.  https://www.ego4u.com/en/cram-up/grammar

a.  Check the list of irregular verbs provided, and identify those you do not know well. Start learning them all by using the techniques you know.

b. Make sure you read the information about the affirmative, negative and interrogative forms, as well as their use and signal words for the following tenses: simple present, present progressive, simple past, past progressive, and present perfect simple. In case, you need some help, it might be useful to click on go to form → for further explanations and don't forget to see the diagram of all tenses.

c. Now, it's time to do all the exercises in the links for every tense. Yes, the exercises for simple present, present progressive, simple past, past progressive, and present perfect simple. 
You do the activities in the webpage, so you get corrected whenever you make a mistake. Take photos of the screens and save them in your PC. Those activities which were difficult to get them right, write them down in your notebook once they have been corrected.

d. Reading Time. You will read a simplified version of The Canterville Ghost by Oscar Wilde. https://www.ego4u.com/en/read-on/literature/canterville-ghost
Read Chapters I and II, and do not forget to write the questions and answers at the end of each chapter in your notebook.

e. Watch the video 'The Brain-changing benefits of Exercise' (Close- captioned in English as many times as you need to answer the questions).
