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.

Help!

Some students asked for some grammar explanations in Spanish. At mansión de inglés you have explanations in Spanish and also extra exercises if you click "ejercicios" at the bottom of the page on the right. There are both grammar and vocabulary pages.

Good luck!

Reading Practice

Improve your English by reading!

If you don't have a lot of time, read some of the short topics here or here.

The British Council web page is another option. 

Adapted Penguin readers are available in the library. 

If you are feeling particularly adventurous, I encourage you to try out one of Roald Dahl's children's books, which are also available in the library, or the Brother's Grimm fairy tales available here.
