Relative clauses

The woman who gave me the flowers: how to construct relative clauses. by Liz Walter

by Liz Walter​ There are two main types of relative clause. One is for making it clear who or what we are talking about.

No y not: cuándo y con qué

Hi guys,

1. Como norma básica recordad que usamos "not" para negar con el verbo, y usamos "no" para negar con el nombre.

There is no time to lose = There isn't any time to lose

2. Y recordad que en inglés normalmente no negamos dos veces:

No hice nada = I didn't do anything = I did nothing = No hice "cosa alguna"

Hugging lions

There is a private zoo in Buenos Aires, where the visitors can pet and feed -to the bears, tigers, lions... and nobody is dead, yet.

The owner claims to be able to domesticate -to these dangerous animals. He says this is possible because they aren't hungry.

Summary:

The video shows Bob+, a metal minder that is on patrol in +the security company G4S. This kind of robot checks if anything is missing +BY doing a scan of a room and -he +it also knows some office etiquette.

I think it is an amazing technology to find out what is missing, but I also think this robot would have to be in other places to warn people of their missing objects.

Armchair tourism

Google, with the approval of the government, is using a special camera to exhibit it on the internet.

I think it is a good idea, although all places are more exciting to visit firsthand.

Water ATM

Commentary

In this video we can see a boy that uses a card in a machine similar to -a +an ATM (automatic teller machine) to fill a bottle of water.

This is a project launched by the city government of Delhi in India, to provide clean drinking water to residents.

The water -come +comes from local low-cost treatment plants. Residents can pay with a pre-paid card and these machines provide them +with drinking water for a small fee.

I think this project is very important because many illnesses could be -avoid +avoided -[with only] +[just by] drinking clean water but this should be done across the country.

Initiatives like this should be made in all countries without access to clean water.

Common mistakes in your writings

These are some notes on the most common mistakes in your writings. I will have linked to them already in my correction comments, but general review is advisable.

 

a /an

En inglés necesitamos algo delante de casi todos los nombres (un artículo definido o indefinido, un adjetivo posesivo...). El artículo indefinido (para uno cualquiera) es "a" y delante de sonido vocálico "an".

 Bas - EGU - (ESP) definite article - a an.pdf

​​

 Bas - PEU - a _ an _uses.pdf

 

the

Si con el nombre nos referimos a un ejemplo concreto, determinado, usamos el artículo definido.
​

 Bas - EGU (ESP) - article the.pdf

​Y cuando hablamos de la categoría en general, sin especificar, no decimos nada:
​

 Bas - EGU - (ESP) generalizations without article - the.pdf

También hay algunas excepciones, que podéis simplemente leer para que os vayan sonando:
​

 Int - HEW - the (in school...) and no article special cases.pdf

 

much / many 

​Uno se usa para nombres incontables y el otro para plurales

 Bas - EGC 173 - much and many.pdf

Y un poco de repaso de nombres contables e incontables

 Bas - EGC 153 - countable and uncountable I.pdf

​​

 Bas - EGC 198 - countable and uncountable II.pdf

 

say and tell

​Los dos pueden ser "decir", pero no se dicen igual :)

 Bas - HEW - tell and say.pdf

​

also / too

Los dos son "también" pero se colocan en distinto sitio

 Bas - PEU - also too as well - position.pdf

 

have (got)

 Bas - have & have got (links & intro)

​

Take your time. We're in no hurry, but make sure that you review all these topics as needed. These are the basics!

The Five W's of Life

Thanks, Antonia.

Resumen del miércoles 21/10/2013

Class summary for Wednesday 21st

En la clase de hoy hemos rellenado una hoja que José Luis nos ha dado. La ficha era para repasar el verbo TO BE. Consiste en rellenar con las formas del verbo TO BE, los huecos en varias frases, después escribirlas sin contraer. También la hoja contiene dos conversaciones, que al igual que el ejercicio anterior hemos rellenado.

A continuación hemos ido a la página 8, a la actividad número 1. Esta actividad consta de vocabulario, el cual debemos aprender a pronunciar adecuadamente. Debemos prestarle atención a la transcripción fonética.

Por último, en la página 150, hemos rellenado y corregido el apartado A.

¿Qué hemos aprendido hoy mientras hemos hecho las actividades?

1)    1)   El verbo TO BE en las respuestas cortas positivas no se contrae. (esta regla, la podéis ver en la página 124, apartado 1B, donde encontramos un ejemplo.)
2)      2)Nos pueden llevar a confusión:
Life: vida
To live: vivir
Un ejemplo de estas dos palabras es la canción de Bon Jovi: "It's my life And it's now or never Cause I ain't gonna live forever"

Os dejo el enlace a youtube de la canción para animar un poco esto y hacer un poquito de oído con el inglés. =D  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9SKFwtgUJHs

3)     3)  Importante saber cómo se dice HERE, ya que por norma solemos decirlo a la española.

Here   /hɪər/ 

Os aporto también el enlace al diccionario para poder escucharlo. http://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/british/here?q=here

4)      4) MUY IMPORTANTE, un plural irregular:
One person: una persona.
Two people: dos personas.
5)     5)  Cuidado al pronunciar:
City   /ˈsɪt.i/  

(Enlace para escucharlo: http://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/british/city_1?q=city )

                Center  /ˈsen.tər/ 

(Enlace para escucharlo: http://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/british/center?q=center )

6)     6)  Otra palabra peligrosa es GREAT

Great: genial

Cuidado porque puedes parecer que dices, algo que no tiene nada que ver como es:

Grit: mota de polvo

Greet: saludar

Recordar el ejemplo: That´s great, mate!

7)     7) Otro error de pronunciación al aprender inglés es la palabra ANSWER

Answer  /ˈɑːn.sər/

(Enlace para escucharlo: http://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/british/answer_1?q=answers)

Esto ha sido todo por hoy.

Por último, recordar a los que no hayan terminado la segunda parte de la página 150, que la rellenen en casa.

También recordar que el próximo viernes hay convocada una huelga de estudiantes, por lo que todos aquellos que decidan ejercer su derecho a hacer huelga, no tendrán falta.

¡Un saludo a todos!

 See you on Monday!

The first vision from the litle town when the cross a river Jarama, appears to us on a level one and ascends on a small mountain. You can see it in the photo, it is very nice , isn't it?

Yesterday evening I left to have a stroll in bicycle by a precious Green Route (Vía Verde de RENFE) that there is near Titulcia. Pay attention that beautiful is the flower of fennels that were next to the way.

Today in the morning I have visited the winne cellar of my uncle Pepe, also known like the Pitorro. It does one of best wines of the Community of Madrid. Although the warehouses are dark, you are put quite contented in them. Certain that yes.

Finally, this evening I was in the mountain where prehistoric caves are even conserved, and I approached them. But I did not ascended until them… why? I have already seen them often and to see ewes, dogs, cows and birds painted on rocks… Who is to say has painted them.

I will already tell you many more things about Titulcia.

I wish you merry Christmas and very happy new year in 2012.

Ciao. Little kisses for all, guys.

Hi guys.

I'm sorry for my delay… I will not put excuses. There my postal go: 

Hello mum

I finish returning of our village, La Fuente, arrived the past Wednesday there and I have returned this evening, you do not know I missed to you, mainly. It made a cold terrible, already you know. I visited all those sites by where I walked as a child: the source, the threshing floors, the grapevines, the olive groves, the mountain range San Jorge, the church, the school, the municipal library, the place of the village, the cemetery… People that we know were as always: very cosy, all they wanted to me to invite to eat, to have dinner… They gave many kisses me for you.

I was very impressed the three days. I longed for so much to you that I cried just a little bit… But I was very happy for being there.

My dear mum, I wish you happiest of Christmases. And remembers you that next Monday I will be with you.

A kiss very hard.

Your Antonio son.
