Quantifiers

Quantifiers pre-intermediate by LauGalindo

Hi there!

Some people were a little bit confused about when to use "that" instead of "who" or "which". While we can of course use "that" when talking about people, animals or things, sometimes it may be better to use the relative pronouns "who" and "which". This video explains why.

Who? That? Which?

Enjoy!

Conjunctions/Connectors

Hey there! I hope everybody has had a nice weekend. This week we will be having a look at run-on sentences and the use of connectors. Here are a few extra activities to practice if you have the time. See you soon!

Explanation

Speaking about physical appearance, possessions, family, etc: Have vs. Have Got (common mistakes)

Check these ways of talking about the things we have or do not have (family, possessions but also different hair styles, eye color, etc...). The options below are possible, but make sure you don't make those mistakes.

I HAVE = I HAVE GOT

I DON’T HAVE much money/ any children = I HAVEN’T GOT much money/ any children (but NOT “I haven’t much money…”)

SHE/HE HAS= SHE’S GOT       

SHE/HE DOESN’T HAVE blue eyes= SHE/HE HASN’T GOT blue eyes (but NOT “She hasn’t blue eyes”)        

DO YOU HAVE a car? = HAVE YOU GOT a car? (but NOT “Have you a car?”)

DOES SHE/HE HAVE wavy hair?= HAS HE/SHE GOT wavy hair…? (but NOT “Has she wavy hair?”)

Questions?

Forming questions in English can be a little complicated but if you remember this simple formula you’ll have no problem:

ASI       Auxiliary      Subject         Infinitive
Do                   you                 like football?
Does              your sister     work?

or

 QUASI  Question word     Auxiliary   Subject    Infinitive
Where                      do                you              live?
What                       does            Peter           do?

 You can use this formula in the past simple too.
