Passive voice (old entry)

Some of my students are having problems with the search engine of the blog. Apparently, this app doesn't work well with mobile phones. I'm sorry, but I don't know how to fix the problem. 

However, since they were mostly interested on downloading the grammar copy set, I've decided to repost it.

Click on the link to be directed to the original blog entry.

Passive voice (blog entry)

And, just so you know, you can easily access to the contents of the blog through Google. All you have to do is:

1. Googling the terms you are interested on (i.e. esl freak+ passive voice)

2. Check it is the correct link.

3. Enjoy the learning ride!

How you doin'? 

I've been quite busy the last couple of weeks. It's always the same after the holidays: resits, marking, preparing classes...

All in all I've been like...

And, believe me, the pile of TO DO tasks keeps getting higher. In fact, I'm actually wearing my highest heels just to reach the top (just kidding! or sort of...)

So, here I am, trying to cross out some overdue tasks. The most important one, in my opinion, was to post the answer key to the conditional sentences I uploaded two weeks ago.

Hey you! I've brought you something :)

Conditionals

"Teacher, if you post more exercises on the blog, I will do them all at home"

And that, dear friends, is a statement which I'm not very used to hear these days (please, note that my student even used the conditionals that I had just explained). What's not to love?

I'm sure that those fellow teachers who read my blog will understand completely why my face turned into this:

Okay, okay, maybe I don't have such an expressive face. 

And maybe, I don't look as good as her when I'm excited. 

But you get my point, right?

So here I am, posting more CONDITIONAL EXERCISES for you (and now I'm talking to my dear students) to practise. 

Help yourselves!

(Answer key will be posted soon)

Getting back into our routine after holidays

Hello guys!

I believe this cartoon accurately depicts your faces this morning. 

Take an extra cup of coffee tomorrow. 

I'm not kidding, you were all very quiet.

This morning the only one participating in in class was the cricket chirping on the courts outside (and he seemed to like my classes)

So, school is back and so are my daily (weekly) posts. Today I'm bringing you some grammar practise involving relative clauses. It's in .pdf format and you can dowload it by clicking on the following link (answer key is included).
