Have a nice weekend and enjoy the good weather! And don't forget to do the other exercises on statements as well.

Reported statements

Hi kids! Did you have a good time in Lisbon? Sure you did! Now you can tell your friends about your experiences.
Now we're learning to say what other people told us some time ago. There is something vital that we've got to bear in mind: reported speech in statements in English is exactly the same as in Spanish.


 
So, let's practise!

• Exercise 1
• Exercise 2
• Exercise 3 (you can watch a video here if you want)
• Exercise 4

Here's a quote by Indira Gandhi (1917-84), Prime Minister of India who got assassinated:

My grandfather once told me that there were two kinds of people: those who do the work and those who take the credit. He told me to try to be in the first group; there was much less competition.

I'll post some exercises on questions and commands soon, so check out the blog now and then.

Be good!

The sooner, the better!

Hi kids! Here's what I promised this very morning. But before you do the exercises, have a look at this video. It's got really good explanations on the topic and some exercises as well:

• Video 1

And now a few exercises:

• Exercise 1
• Exercise 2

And last, a few sentences which are, indeed, food for thought:

The more I know, the more I worry.
The less they have to say, the more they talk.
The bigger they are, the harder they fall.
The earlier you start, the better chance you have of being successful.
The bigger the risk, the bigger the payout.
The less said, the better.

See you on Thursday!
