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.

And here you are the exercises.

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.

First off, I’d like to wish you all a Happy New Year 2023. I wish all your dreams come true.
I know that you already watched my video about Christmas vocabulary and that your Christmas trees are already up and shining.
However, I’d like to share with you all a new video where you’ll be able to find more useful vocabulary and verbs and even an explanation about how to make a bow (everything in English, of course).
Enjoy the video and the holidays! See you at school.
