Hello dear parents!

I've been thinking how I can help my students with more furthur information about the test.

What have we done the lastest weeks?, well I might start with the grammar then:

We have worked with 

1) Artikles.

Target: to learn when to use "a", or "an" 

For exemple: an apple or a table

"a" when an word sounds or starts with a vowel

"an" when a word sounds or starts with a consonant

(In english we just have five vowels: a,e,i,o,u. The rest are consonants: y,t,m,n,d,f)

2) Plurals 

För exemple: table-tables     church-churches    wife-wives     lady-ladies     potato-potatoes    child-children   

According to the rules we have 6 different groups in this field.

a) To bild plurals with a common word, you just have to add an "s" for example: toy-toys  map-maps.

b) To bild plurals with a word that finishes with ss, ch, sh, x, you will add to it "es" like brush-brushes  

c) To bild plurals with a word that finishes with f,fe. You will change the "f" for a "v" and then add "es"

for instance: knife-knives, life-lives

d) To bild plurals with a word that finishes with "y" you have to see if the letter before that is a "consonant" and if it is you will change the "y" for an "i" and then add "es". for exemple: lady-ladies, baby-babies.

e) To bild plurals with words that finishes with "o" you will have to add "es" for exemple: potato-potatoes

tomato-tomatoes

f) Finally there are words that you just have to learn as it is in plural because they do not follow any rules.

You have here some of them:

man-men

child-children

woman-women

sheep-sheep

deer-deer

mouse-mice

tooth-teeth

foot-feet

(You can read more about that on pages 84-85 in our Workbook Good StuffA)

3) adjectives comparative.

for exemple: rich-richer and the richest (rik,rikare,rikast), hot-hotter-hottest (varm-varmare-varmast)

ugly-uglier-ugliest (ful-fulare-fulast), thin-thinner-thinnest (smal-smaler-smalast).

You find more about this on pages 86-87 in our workbook Good Stuff A

PART 2

It will be about the chapter one, animals. Words and verbs.

the students will translate from Swedish into English.

and draw a line between two words, one  in Swedish and one in English. (vocabulary-glosor)
