For Thursday's session, please prepare the following:
- read the grammar descriptions for future time on pp. 38-39 of Destination (first two pages of Unit 5). Bring any questions with you to class.
- complete exercises A-E on pp. 40-41 of Unit 5. Check your answers using the key and bring any questions with you to class.
- bring a list of 10 false friends between English and either Spanish or French to Wednesday's session (whichever you study at the TH)
- make an additional list of 5-10 of your favorite false friends between English and German or another language you speak (other than Spanish or French).
I encourage you to have a look at some of the resources I posted under the "future tenses" folder on the Inhalt page to visualize the difference between "will" future and "going to" future. More on this on Thursday.
For auditory learners, the BBC Learning English channel has video explanations of all of the grammar topics we've addressed and will address this semester, so it might be worth checking out for review: https://www.youtube.com/user/bbclearningenglish
Student questions:
"When does one use the word substitution?"
In the following cases:
- in mathematics (as in substituting a value for x in algebra)
- in restaurants ("no substitutions" means if your burger comes with fries, you can't get onion rings instead)
- in sports (one player replaced by another)
- in chemistry and psychology to describe distinct processes
- in legal language/legalese (substitution of one party for another)
