Grammar practice

Morning!
Here's a couple of links to extra grammar practice I think you should do:

1) link to Mª José Bermejo's blog with passive voice exercises
2) so / such ... that
3) Present perfect simple and continuous
4) Present modals (there are four pages you have to check here)
5) Past modals

Enough for now!

Teeth

Just for fun...
But if you want to use it s an English exercise, can you tell the story in your own words?

Word missing


I'm sorry but there is a word missing in the cloze text I gave you as homework for next week...

Here's the sentence and the word missing (underlined):
"It ___[4]___ seem improbable, but he says we can build up our muscles simply ___[5]____ thinking about exercise."

Twisted and Sick

This weekend's song is .... one by Marlango where you can recognise the grammatical construction we studied last week: The more ... the more... ;-)


The more you see
The more I hide
The more I show
The more I lie
Or maybe
The more I hide
The more you see
The more I lie
The more I show
But I'm twisted & sick so that's fine with me
Cause I'm twisted & sick so that's fine with me

Te more I show
The more you see
The more I hide
The more I lie
Or even the more you see
The more I show
The more I lie
The more I hide
But I'm twisted & sick so that's fine with me
Cause twisted & sick so that's fine with me

I'd love to need you
But I don't
And I want to miss you
But I don't
And I need to want
And I miss your wanting
And I want your loving
But I'm twisted & sick so that's fine with me
That's fine with me

(Bridge)

Cause I'm twisted & sick so that's fine with me
I'm twisted & sick so that's fine with me

Until I finish what i have to do
I can't start doing what i should do
I'll have to do this
I'll have to say that
I'll have to go beat
Out all of the crap
I'll have to sit still
I'll have to fulfill
Those stupid ideas
They have about me
But I'm twisted & sick so that's fine with me
I'm twisted & sick so that's fine with me
That's fine with me

Key to the used to - be used to - get used to exercises


Hi!
Here's the key to the exercises I handed out to you this week. I realised there were repeated sentences only after I had given the photocopy to you, so I hope the key is not too misleading, since I have eliminated those repeated sentences in it. 

Exercise A)
1 - to getting; 2 – to read; 3 – to like; 4 – to stay; 5 – to drinking; 6 – used to go; 7 – I’m used to saying; 8 – is used to driving; 9 – used to wear; 10 – used to be; 11 – used to get on.
Exercise B)
1 – I’m used to sleeping on the floor; 2 – get used to living; 3 – get used to + your choice, which should be a verb in the –ing form; 4 – drink; 5 – eating; 6 – having / working in; 7 – being told; 8 – be;
