Kompetenzerweiterung I (Monday/Wednesday Group), Homework for November 16th

For homework, please prepare the following: 

- complete exercises M-O of Unit 2 (featured on pp. 18-19, posted on Ilias) and self-check your answers. Bring any questions with you to class. 

- complete exercises F-J of Unit 3 (pp. 26-27, posted on Ilias) and self-check your answers. Bring any questions regarding these exercises with you to class.

- read through the sheet on collocation (pg. 28) in the Grammar for CAE and CPE folder on Ilias and complete exercises A-C on the accompanying exercise sheet (pg. 29)

(If you want to do the two other exercises on the Present Perfect page, the answers have been uploaded to the folder.)

A note on the answer to number 8 from exercise number 3 on the Present Perfect page: I mistakenly read this answer out incorrectly in Wednesday's class: answers can include "that's torn/done it" but not"cracked/made". The latter are options for number 9. My apologies for this. 

- read the remaining responses to the question "What's the best sense?" (listed on Ilias Inhalt as "best sense other responses"). Write down 10 words that you learned and decide on which text you find to be the strongest (this might not correspond with the text whose answer you agree with most). (Bonus question: who painted the painting featured on page 2 of the file?)

This is a fantastic resource concerning the various collocations in English with have/take/make/do: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Appendix:Collocations_of_do,_have,_make,_and_take

Student questions: 

Here is a nice resource on when nouns are singular or plural (based on the examples of police, government, etc. referenced in today's session): https://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/learningenglish/grammar/learnit/learnitv358.shtml
