Classes 18-20. Tuesday-Tuesday 10-17/03

Hello

These weeks we continued talking about clothes, shopping and wearing clothes. We learnt some useful expressions like phrasal verbs, in this topic we have plenty of them:
put on
take off
try on
throw out
wear out etc.

Remember! We can use an object between the verb and preposition or after them if it´s a noun:
Can I try a jacket on? or Can I try on a jacket?

But: If it´s a pronoun, we always use it between the verb and preposition:
I´d like to try it on. Throw them out. 

We also watched a video about Camden Market in London and revised some vocabulary. You can watch all parts of it and study the Language Focus as well:

Also we learnt some grammar - Comparative and Superlative degrees of the adjectives.
Here´s a list of exercises, choose any you´d like to practise and do them online:
Comparatives and Superlatives

In our dialogues we were using one and ones, we also revised this/that and these/those:

Here´re some more listenings that could be useful for you - Shopping for Clothes and Comparing places.

Have a nice weekend and enjoy tomorrow´s day off!!!
