Hello everyone! How are you? Welcome to another Mansión Inglés podcast, recorded for September 2011.
En el nivel básico este mes hemos practicado un poco de pronunciación con los sonidos vocales. No voy a repetir lo mismo porque los sonidos están en el cuaderno de septiembre.
Pero si podemos practicar los plurales. Yo voy a decir los sustantivos en singular, y tú dices el plural antes que lo digo yo. Ready? ¿Listos?
One photo - two photos
One glass – two glasses
One city – two cities
One key (una llave) – two keys
One man – two men
One party – two parties
One baby – two babies
One week – two weeks
One child – two children
Very good! ¡Muy bien!
In the intermediate section this month we practised the past continuous tense.
The past continuous, sometimes called the past progressive, is used to say that something was happening around a particular time in the past
Repeat the examples: I was having lunch at 2 o’clock.
What were you doing when I phoned?
They weren’t sitting in the restaurant when we arrived.
We can use the past continuous and past simple together. When this happens, the past continuous is used for the longer action and to provide background. The past simple is used for the shorter action.
Listen to the examples:
We were driving along when suddenly a dog ran out in front of the car.
The driving was the long action and the dog ran out was the short action in the middle.
She sent me a text message while I was waiting for her.
Listen and repeat the following examples of the past continuous:
Sofia broke her arm shile she was skiing.
When I arived, they were talking about football.
This time last week we were walking along 5th avenue in New York eating a hot dog.
When I left home, the sun was shining, the birds were singing. It felt good to be alive.
I looked out of the car window and I saw that we were driving past Big Ben.
When I saw Sandra she was drinking Guinness!
I met my girlfriend while I was travelling around Australia.
When I got home my son was drinking my whisky.
He told me that his wife was having an affair.
While I was waiting for the train, someone stole my iPod.
Next we practiced <
