Imperative

We use the imperative form of the verbs to give instructions or commands.

For example:

"It's very hot in here! OPEN the windows please!"
"First WRITE your name on top of the page and then GIVE it to me"

If you want to play a bit with a mobile phone and the imperatives click on this link:

A description of a person (Júlia)

MY AUNT, ANNA.

The person I admire most is Anna. She is my aunt. She lives in Banyoles. I like her
because she is always happy and polite.
We do not always agree. It depends on what we think. When we meet we go to her
house and we usually go shopping too. It is fantastic and funny! I like spending time
with her.

I love it!

See you soon,

Júlia

Hello from Scotland (Cristian)

Hi Albert,
I'm on holiday here in Scotland with my mum, dad and brother. It's very cold here, so we always stay in a hot place.
At the moment I'm sitting in the sofa with my brother and we are watching a video. He really likes it, so we watch a film every day.
Tomorrow we're going to a famous lake, Lock Ness, so we're going to try to find the monster during all the day.

See you soon,
Cristian Vásquez Tapia Vera

Much or many?

MUCH and MANY both mean the same: A LOT OF.

But we use them in a different way. We use MUCH with uncountable nouns and MANY with countable.

For example:
There is too much pasta for dinner! (Hi ha massa pasta per sopar!)
There are many apples on the table. (Hi ha moltes pomes sobre la taula)

If you want to practise a bit with MUCH and MANY, here you have some activities that will help you.

MUCH and MANY

Good luck!

On holiday (Laia Jordi)

ON HOLIDAY

Hello,

I'm on holiday here in Hawaii with my mother, my father and my sister. It's hot and sunny, so we often drink a tropical juice.

At the moment we are in a beach near the school, so we can sunbathe, my sister is sleeping! My father and my mother are sunbathing too. Just now there are some high weaves!

In the evening we are dancing Samba, my father doesn't know! Tomorrow we are surfing and swimming with dolphins, I think that it's very fun!

I hope you're having a good day!

See you soon.

Laia Jordi.

A description of a person (Pau Parés)

A DESCRIPTION OF A PERSON

Pol is my friend. He's twelve and he's tall. He lives in Porqueres.
Pol is a good friend. I like him because he's funny and friendly.

We sometimes disagree - he likes sausages, but I hate it.
Every summer I go to his house. He's got a swimming pool
and we swim in it.

In the secondary school we have lunch in the school's canteen.
He's a very good friend.
