My dear friends,
We’ve already seen the Zero and First conditionals, which are used for giving advice, but don’t forget the Second conditional and its famous «If I were you, …». You’ll be delighted with this grammar structure, which will be of great help for those pieces of advice in your written compositions and dialogues.

Hi there, my dear friends!
Today, I’d like to share with you a series of videos you’ll find really useful, since you will need these grammar structures for giving advice. In fact, the videos are about the Zero conditional (yes, it exists!) and the First conditional. As you will see, these two structures are extremely simple and easy to use.

Dear students,
Welcome to a new post on the blog! On this occasion, I’d like to explain the differences between these two modal verbs, Must and Have to.
Although they seem to be very similar to the ones in Spanish, please be careful and don’t be deceived. They are not exactly the same and their use in both affirmative and negative sentences is different from the ones you could imagine. Also, remember, in order to remember those differences, you need to practise a lot, so I have included some activities.
And here are the activities,

Enjoy!
Dear students,
Today I’d like to share with you two videos and a series of online activities for you to learn how to use Will when talking about the future. As you can see, it’s very similar to Be going to, although not exactly the same.

Dear students,
Today I’d like to share with the secret to the perfect story. Relative clauses!
What is a relative clause? It’s the extra information and details we can include in our written composition. With all this information the sentences are longer and more complex. Look at the following examples:
As you can see, the sentences have the same meaning and the same information, but they seem very different. Why? Just simply because of the relative clause. And, what are the main relative pronouns? The main relative pronouns are who, which, where, when, whose, why and how.
Here you are some videos with a very good explanation which I hope you enjoy.
And here is an exercise which I’m sure will be of help.
