Questions and answers

We're going to work with wh- question words.

1. We pick one of the  Wh- question words
2. We write 5 interesting questions.( Think about what you're learning in your other subjects, Science, History...)
3. We do some research to find out the answers.
4. We draw a project with the questions and answers similar to the model.

It is important to know Wh- questions because they are very frequent.

  

What       qué

    When      cuándo

 Who        quién

 Where    dónde

   Why        por qué

How        cómo

Structure:
WH   +   DO/DOES   +   SUBJECT    +   VERB

Where do you live?

Who are you?
      

Adding -ed and -ing

These are the rules:
-Verbs ending in silent - e: drop the final -e before adding -ed and -ing
-Verbs ending in -ee, -ye, and -oe, just add -ed or -ing
-Verbs ending in vowel plus -l: add an extra -l before adding -ed and -ing
- Verb ending with a single vowel plus a consonant, and the stress is at the end of the word double the final consonant before adding -ed and –ing
-Verb ending with a vowel plus a consonant and the stress is not at the end of the word, just add -ed or -ing.
-Verb with only one syllable and ends with a single vowel plus a consonant, double the final consonant before adding -ed and -ing.
-Verb ends in -c, add a -k before adding -ed and -ing .

You can find here a detailed explanation with examples.

The - s in the Present Simple

As you know, we add an -s in the Present Simple when we talk about he, she or it.

He reads

She cooks

It explains

But you have probably realized we sometimes add -es, or change a y into ie when adding -s.

These are the spelling rules:
(The chart is copied from http://www.learnenglishlanguagewell.com/grammar/verbs-with-s-in-present-simple/)
 

Spelling of third person singular forms in Present Simple Tense
Most verbs: Add “s” to infinitive(1) verbs finishing with  one vowel + “y” :add “s”	Work ->	works	Sit ->	sits
	Stay ->	stays (1)	See ->	sees
	know ->	knows	Live ->	lives
*Verbs ending with consonant and “y”: Change “y” for “ies”	Cry->	cries*	Hurry->	hurries*
	Fly->	flies*	Imply->	implies*
	Try->	tries*
Verbs ending in sibilant sounds –s, -z, -ch, -sh, or -x add “es” to infinitive	Push->	pushes	Fix->	Fixes
	Catch->	catches	Confess->	confesses
	Buzz->	buzzes	Finish->	finishes
Verbs ending with “o” Verb “have”	Go->	goes	Do->	does
	Have->	has

Present continuous

In a nutshell, we use the present continuous (I am doing)

-for actions happening right now
-for planned actions in the short term future

but we don't use it with stative verbs: be, have, love, hate, wish, believe, understand, etc. Here is a list of stative verbs

Present continuous
Present continuous stative verbs
