Smart Choice Unit #6 (Week 10)

Students,

We are on the home straight!  The second half of the semester has begun.  I hadn't realized how little time we have left together until I looked at the calendar and saw that Christmas is only 8 weeks away.


Smart Choice

In this week's class we studied adjectives and adverbs.

What is the difference? 

Adjectives describe (modify) the noun.

e.g.  Ji-sun Park is quick.

Adverbs describe (modify) the verb but can also modify the adjective, too.

e.g.  Ji-sun Park runs quickly.
e.g.  Ji-sun Park is extremely quick.

For a quick explanation from class of adjectives and adverbs check out this segment of my powerpoint presentation.  Link.
To watch the fun video form class about adverbs folow the link "Fun Video".


Grammar

We also talked about the past using PAST PERFECT (the time before the time before).

In the book it is used to talk about an event in the past in relation to another past event.


Examples and explanations

I had never been to a foreign country until I went to China last week.

Last week I went to China.
Before last week, I had never been to another country.


When we arrived at the train station, our train had already left.

We arrived late at the train station.
Before we got to the station, our train departed.
