ReplyDeleteEven if we don't have class, you have topics in English to study, so it is your turn to learn by yourselves!
Deletethis activity reminded me a lot of grammar rules that I had forgotten, I also learned other that I did not know, I had some difficulties in gerunds.

ReplyDeleteThis prepositions are used in grammar according to the syntax of the sentence. This is generally used in everyday life. I do not remember a few rules but the topics are simple.

ReplyDeleteAll topic is relatively simple but I had a little difficulty differentiating the use of "Like and As".
Teacher I have a question: on the topic 'verb + object + to infinitive'. Does the first verb always is in past?
Four points proposed to study grammar were very good and interesting. I understood many of the points, but I still have problems to understand the difference between to .../in order to .../so expert to ..., since, on having done the exercises, I noticed that it had not understood well the explanations. On the Gerunds it is still necessary to polish a little.
ReplyDeleteJennifer Durango Monsalve:
ReplyDeleteThe grammar is fundamental in the idioms, in english is very important to follow the next rules:
1. the use of "To" and "In order to" , both have the same function, however "In order to" is more formal and explicit, in the same way " So as that" , it have the same function.
2. the use of " Verb +object + to infinitive" after some verbs, for example, advise, ask, allow, expect, encourage, force, help, invete, order, persuade, teach, tell.
3. The use of the Gerund, ing form use as a noun.
4. The use of "Like" and "as",
*Like: is used as a preposition and should be followed by a noun .
*As: is used to compare something that is the same as somethin else, or in the same condition. Use a subject and verb after as.

ReplyDeleteAfter doing the exercises, I have doubts about the topic: "I want you to...". Moreover, the topic in order to, I think it's a little confusing

ReplyDeleteI liked really this activity, mainly because I had many doubts about when to use like and as. In the questionnaire got 8/10. Generally I learned a lot about grammar, that is my main problem in learning English.
In the topic of In order to - To - so that - so as to I make the exercises correctly and I understood the topic.
ReplyDeleteVery good, but the best way to learn is to practice these topics that are of common use. Many rules that lack of practice, we forget.
ReplyDeleteJosue David Suarez
ReplyDeleteI think this rules are very necesaries, althought I'm confused about to "Like" and "As". The topic about to gerund was new for me.

ReplyDeleteI could find the differences and the similarities between to + infinitive and in order to + infinitive, I had never study that team, those exercises help me to remember many rules that i did not remember and i could learn other other rules that I had not seen, but i do not undrstand the differences between interesting or interested?
