Hello! I'm not going to be in class today and tomorrow, but we still need to do some things and we need to finish Unit 3 of English. 00:00:00
So my idea is that today you are going to learn with me the second point of grammar and tomorrow you are going to practice with Claudia. 00:00:13
okay so today the two sessions will be devoted to teaching grammar to English and tomorrow the 00:00:25
first session that we have you will do some science revision that I will explain tomorrow 00:00:33
and after the break remember that we have two sessions so both of them will be for English 00:00:39
and you will be working with Claudia what are we going to learn today in English we are going to 00:00:46
learn how to express functions what is a function let me make myself smaller yeah a function is like 00:00:52
an objective that i have when i speak so for example when i say something maybe it is a command 00:01:03
a command is when i order you to do something for example open your books for example sit down 00:01:11
For example, calm down when you are overexcited. 00:01:20
What's another function that I can have if I am speaking in English? 00:01:25
It could be a request. 00:01:31
A request is when I ask you politely to do something. 00:01:34
Would you close the door for me, please? 00:01:39
Would you give me that exam? 00:01:42
Another one would be a suggestion. 00:01:45
do you remember the other day when we were studying natural science we were doing the 00:01:47
photocopy and I said I would study this photocopy for tomorrow for the exam I would revise activity 00:01:52
two and then Darius Motok who is very intelligent said teacher I think that activity two is gonna 00:02:02
in the exam tomorrow and it was why because I suggested that you studied the activity I said 00:02:10
I would study this activity at home and another example of another function is to ask for permission 00:02:19
teacher can I go to the toilet so these are easy functions that we already know and today we are 00:02:27
going to learn some new ones these new functions some of them we already know them and some of 00:02:34
them are new are ability, ability in the past, to ask for permission, possibility, certainty, 00:02:42
request, imaginary situations, and suggestions. Some of them I already explained them, right? 00:02:51
Okay, let's talk about ability. To express ability is to express if an animal is able to do 00:03:00
something I can say. Eagles can fly. Whales can swim. Now, in groups, in your white words, 00:03:13
write a sentence expressing ability. Okay, I suppose you stopped the video and you told the 00:03:22
teacher your sentence is expressing ability, right? If you didn't do so, stop the video 00:03:34
and then we continue let's continue do you remember that last year in fourth grade you 00:03:40
studied prehistoric animals in order to talk about the prehistoric animals you expressed 00:03:49
abilities but in the past so instead of saying eagles can fly you said dodos could fly right 00:03:57
or saber-toothed tigers could run very fast. 00:04:08
Now, in your whiteboards, express an ability in the past. 00:04:14
Remember that last year you also studied 00:04:20
I could read when I was six years old. 00:04:22
That is another possibility. 00:04:28
Now, write your own example. 00:04:30
Okay, so now that we have practiced ability and ability in the past, 00:04:37
you knew those two, right? We can also use language to ask for permission and you do that 00:04:41
a lot. And there are different ways of asking for permission. For example, can I go to the toilet? 00:04:49
Right? For example, could I borrow a book when you go to the library? Or for example, may I come in? 00:04:57
All of them are used to ask for permission to do something. 00:05:06
So we have different verbs that can be used in order to do that. 00:05:12
Now write just one example that you think is easy for you to ask for permission. 00:05:19
Okay, this one was also easy, right? 00:05:32
Now, let's talk about possibility and the other one, maybe you don't know it, is certainty. 00:05:36
Those are two different functions. 00:05:46
And what's the difference? 00:05:49
Possibility is when something can happen or something cannot happen. 00:05:51
For example, in Christmas, you can bake cookies. 00:05:56
That is one possibility, right? 00:06:02
You can go to the park, you can sing songs, you can eat grapes on New Year's Eve. 00:06:04
Those are possibilities, different options that you can do at Christmas. 00:06:13
Now, certainty is when something is going to happen for sure. 00:06:19
For example, next Monday we will take the English exam. 00:06:24
On Thursday, people who didn't present the natural project last week will present their projects. 00:06:30
That is for sure. 00:06:40
So, people who didn't present the natural project last week, be ready. 00:06:41
On Thursday, you will present your projects. 00:06:46
Do you see the difference? 00:06:50
At Christmas, we can bake cookies. 00:06:52
On Monday, we will take the exam. 00:06:55
Now you need to write two sentences, one to express a possibility and another one to express certainty, something that you are sure about. 00:06:58
Good. Maybe you didn't know the word certainty, but you already know how to use will and can, right? 00:07:14
Let's go to the next one. A request. A request is when I want to get something from someone. 00:07:23
I want something for example one would be can I borrow your pencil yes that means that I want 00:07:31
your pencil can I borrow your pencil another one if we want to be more polite would be could you 00:07:43
give me the salt that would be another type of request more polite can or could right now write 00:07:50
one example of a request. Think if you want it to be more formal or more informal. Okay this one 00:08:00
you use it a lot. It is when we want to talk about imaginary situations. So for example 00:08:14
if I had holidays right now I would go to Hawaii, right? Or if I could get an animal, 00:08:23
an imaginary animal I would get a unicorn I would go to Hawaii I would get a unicorn 00:08:32
those are functions that we want to talk that we want to use when we talk about something that is 00:08:40
not real for example another example would be I would buy five cars if I was 00:08:48
millionaire. That would be another example, right? So I just want you to write the imaginary 00:09:00
situation. I would buy five cars. I would get a unicorn. I would go to Hawaii. Write your own 00:09:06
example in groups. And this one is totally new for you. It's in order to make a suggestion. Like 00:09:16
I want to do something and I would like you to do it with me. 00:09:29
So, I can say, shall we watch TV? 00:09:34
That means that I would like you to watch TV with me. 00:09:38
Shall we sing? 00:09:43
That would be another option. 00:09:45
The word that I am using is shall, right? 00:09:48
This one is new for you. 00:09:51
S-H-A-L-L. 00:09:52
so please write your own example of a suggestion using shall again shall we watch tv or shall we 00:09:55
sing are two examples okay now the teacher is going to pass out the photocopies and we are 00:10:06
going to do the first activity as we explained we use different words to express different things 00:10:16
right different functions because we always have an objective when we talk so the functions that 00:10:23
we have studied that we have practiced our ability ability in the past possibility an imaginary 00:10:32
situation our request to ask for permission and offer a suggestion uncertainty i want you to write 00:10:38
these words and next to the these sentences and say which function is expressed in each sentence 00:10:48
we are going to work in groups and when you finish you are going to correct with the teacher 00:10:59
using the following slide okay so now we are going to the following slide to see the corrections 00:11:04
I can run very fast that is an ability right I can do it I am able to do it I could walk when 00:11:14
I was three years old that is an ability in the past if I want to ask for permission I raise my 00:11:24
hand and I say can I ask a question that is what we normally say in class but there are more 00:11:31
formal more formal ways of saying that of asking for permission I also can say may I ask a question 00:11:39
or could I ask a question you can use those two may and could to ask for permission as well 00:11:48
then when we want to talk about possibility we said that we can use we can bake cookies at 00:11:56
christmas right that is one possibility that is actually a possibility that is it is very likely 00:12:04
very possible that it happens for example it can rain right but we can also use three other modal 00:12:10
verbs it might rain on saturday it may rain on saturday and it could rain on saturday that means 00:12:23
that it is one possibility but not for sure, right? It can happen, it cannot. But if we 00:12:32
say it will rain on Saturday, it means that we already saw the forecast and 100% it will 00:12:43
rain, okay? Take your raincoats, take your umbrellas, it will rain. Number 10, shall 00:12:53
we go to the cinema remember an offer and a suggestion you would like to go to the cinema 00:13:02
and you would like that person to go with you finally our request 00:13:07
would you close the window would you close the windows the window please that is a request and 00:13:13
we can also use would to talk about imaginary situations i would love to have a unicorn 00:13:20
So, these words that we are using, can, could, may, might, will, shall and would, are what we call the modal verbs. 00:13:27
The modal verbs are helping verbs that express different meanings. 00:13:45
For example, it could rain on Saturday and it will rain on Saturday is almost the same sentence, but they have different meanings. 00:13:49
It could rain on Saturday. It could. It couldn't. We don't know. 00:14:02
It will rain on Saturday. It is sure that it will rain. 00:14:09
So just that word changes the meaning of the sentence. 00:14:14
One very important thing about the modal verbs is that after the modal verb, we use the infinitive. 00:14:18
We don't need to change the verb. 00:14:25
So that makes it very easy to study. 00:14:28
For example, we don't say it may rains, right? 00:14:30
Or we don't say I could walked in the past. 00:14:35
Always after the modal verb, we use the infinitive. 00:14:40
Run, walk, ask, rain, go, close, unlock. 00:14:44
The infinitive verb. 00:14:52
So after practicing the modal verbs, I want you to do the second activity. 00:14:56
And we are going to complete the table. 00:15:03
So what I want you to do is to write in the function of ability all the modal verbs, right? 00:15:05
in this case just one that we use to express ability. In possibility we go 00:15:13
back to the previous activity and we see the modal verbs that we can use to 00:15:21
express possibility and we are going to write them down. I am gonna give you some 00:15:28
minutes and when you are ready you go to the following slide. You continue with the 00:15:35
video okay so these are the answers you can see that these are not the only 00:15:40
modal verbs that we can use for example for a request we can also use can you 00:15:51
can say would you close the door will you close the door or can you close the 00:16:01
door so this table doesn't mean that these are the only modal verbs that are 00:16:07
used to express these functions but these are the ones that we are 00:16:15
going to study this unit we don't need to memorize them we just need to get 00:16:20
used to them so you already know how to use can could will and would so we are 00:16:27
going to focus on may might and shall which are the kind of new ones okay so 00:16:35
now what you are going to do is to go to the activity book language practice 2 in 00:16:45
unit 3 that is page 33 and you are going to do the activities 1 and 2 I am going 00:16:52
to upload this video to the web so you can watch it at home as well and 00:16:59
And remember that at the end of the student's book, you always have the grammar explained. 00:17:04
Language practice 2, unit 3. 00:17:10
So now you are going to do the activities in groups and you will correct with the teacher. 00:17:12
If we finish everything and we have extra time, you are going to write in your notebooks one sentence for each function. 00:17:18
So one sentence to express ability, one to express ability in the past, one to express possibility. 00:17:28
so you can choose between may, might, could or can 00:17:35
and so on using all the functions. 00:17:38
When you finish, make sure that you use capital letters, 00:17:46
periods and that the spelling is correct. 00:17:49
And if you finish everything, help your group. 00:17:52
Bye! 00:17:57
