Class 25 March, 2015
Sunny, breezy, and a little humid today. Full class.
Conclusion: Did not go to plan at all today. Saved original plan to repost separately.
We went through thoroughly, with each S giving examples and answering questions.
Day/Dates
When we say the date we use ordinal numbers, but we do not write them: we say March 25th, we write March 25.
When we say the year we use pairs: 2015 is 20-15 twenty fifteen, 1972 is 19-72 nineteen seventy-two.
What day is it? This means, “what day of the week is it?”.
Today is Wednesday.
What is the date? What is the date today? This is asking about the month, and day in numbers. That is the date.
Today is March 25(th). You usually do not need to say the year in conversation.
When were you born? I was born on November 25(th), 1972.
When is your birthday? My birthday is on November 25(th).
What month is your birthday? My birthday is in November.
What month were you born? I was born in November.
What year were you born? I was born in 1972.
When do you have class? I have class on Wednesdays. I have class every Wednesday.
When do you get up in the mornings?
When do you go to bed?
etc.
Grammar
Some review from Monday class: prepositions of time with in, at, on
We reviewed their homework from Monday – the first section.
We need to do this again next week as written here:
- in – (time of day, days, weeks) months and years
- on – a day or date
- at – specific time, clock times
I was born in 1972. I was born in November.
I was born on November 23. I was born on a Tuesday.
I was born in the morning.I was born at 7:30 a.m.
I was born at midnight.
Create exercises for prepositions of time next class.
Tongue Twister
“Whether the weather is warm, whether the weather is hot, we have to put up with the weather, whether we like it or not.”
Notes:
- Whether and weather pronounced the same – and are not water or wetter. Whether/weather are not related.
- Whether is similar to if. Whether is used with “or not”. Do not worry about using “whether”.
- “Put up with” – tolerate. This is the simple present, meaning in general.
I put up with traffic when I drive to class. I put up with stupid people.
Etc.
whatever else I may have forgotten.
