IES JOSÉ VILAPLANA 2nd ESO ENGLISH

This unit we're studying the PAST SIMPLE tense. Watch this video about how to form it and when to use it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xLA58CSIf3M Notice that the verb TO BE and the modal verb CAN are irregular and they don't follow the rules. The past simple of TO BE is WAS or WERE and the past simple of CAN is COULD. Finally, here you'll find a list of irregular verbs that may be useful: https://aprendemasingles.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/lista-de-verbos-irregulares-en-inglecc81s.pdf

This week we're talking about literature. So, let's share about our favourite books, or the last book you read, the one you're reading at the moment, etc. I'll start talking about one book I read when I was 18 and really impressed me: And you? Which book would you recommend? Leave your comment telling us. Remember to include this information: What's the title? Who's the author? What kind of book is it? When did you read it? Why did you like it?

Now that we're finishing unit 1 it's time to revise the contents we've learnt through the unit. Furthermore, some of you asked me for useful websites you can use to practise your English at home. So, take a look at these useful activities, and remember that "PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT", so practise, practise and practise!
