Don't you remeber - Complete the gaps

To improve our listening skill we are going to listen a song sometimes in class, so you can send your prefered lyrics to Lola in such a way that she will be able to show it to all.

 

This is the song lyric where you can try fill the gaps

Judging by appearances, describing people

Try to describe people in the photos and judge them by their appearance using look, look like, must, may, might and can't.

Use "What does he / she look like?" for appearance

, and "What is he / she like?" for personality.

I You He/She/It We You They
	look(s) + an adjective	He looks tired
	look(s) like + a noun	She looks like a doctor

You can use age adverbs as mid-, early, about, late and forties. For instance:

• He is about nineteen.
• She is in her thirties.
• She is in her early fourties. / mid fourties / late fourties.

You could use height and build adjectives, adjectives about hair or general adjectives like:

• slim, thin, tall, short...
• well built, medium height, overweight...
• fair, blonde, grey hair...
• short, shoulder-lenght, long...
• wavy, curly, straight...
• fringe, ponytail, beard, bald, wig, moustache...
• plain, pretty, ugly, handsome, good-looking, atrractive...

Note that it is important to distinguish between seem, appear, and look.

Modal verbs

Today we have learnt the use of modal verbas, you can review them and do the exercises for tomorrow in the following links:

• Unit 26. Can, could and (be) able to. 
• Unit 27. Could (do) and could have (done). 
• Unit 28. Must and can't. 
• Unit 29. May and might 1. 
• Unit 30. May and might 2. 
• Unit 31. Have to and must.

There are some many forms of use of (be) able to:

• would love to - I'd love to be able to do it. (Me encantaría ser capaz de hacerlo)
• won't be able to - I will not to be able to do it. (No seré capaz de hacerlo)
• have never been able to - I have never been able to do it. (Nunca he sido capaz de hacerlo)
• hate not being able to - I hate not being able to do it. (Odio no poder hacerlo)

Remember the use of the modal auxiliary verb "ought to" , it expresses duty, necessity, desirability and similar ideas. It is often used to advise people – to tell them that they have a duty to do things. The meaning is similar to should

• You ought to attend office regularly. (Duty) 
• We ought to help the needy. (Moral obligation) 
• We ought to buy some furniture. (Necessity) 

Ought is not as forceful as must.

Moreover, we have watched two videos about modal verbs today:
