4º B Reported Speech I

Hello everybody!
This week we start a new unit. It's about food and reported speech. What is it? It means "estilo indirecto" and is used when we tell someone what someone else has said. Here are two websites where you can do some practice. Some sentences cannot be done because they are high level, but the rest are OK for you.

3º A fashion and parts of the body

Helloooooooooooo!
This week we start a new unit. It's about fashion. Do you like clothes? How often do you buy them? Notice that "clothes" is plural. Can we say "I bought a cloth yesterday"? Yes, of course, but only if you mean "paño" or "trapo". Remember! Clothes is always plural.

Here you have a worksheet on clothes. Unfortunately, you can't watch the video but the other activities are very interesting.

Hi Brenda! Hello everybody!
Let's start with a video that explains how we change active sentences into passive. It's very interesting!
Now do this easy exercise on sentences with two objects (DO and IO). Change them into passive. Remember that some of them have got two possible answers!
Have you got a dog? If your answer is yes, has it got a mobile phone? No, I'm not crazy, there are mobile phones for dogs! Read and transform the sentences into passive.
See you tomorrow!

In this exercise, you have to fill in the sentences with going to. Then, answer the following question: Is it sure that they are going to do those things?
Now you have to choose between will, going to, present continuous or present simple (used for timetables - horarios).
