***Please be advised that I will not be holding our class on November 2nd due to my participation in the search committees for two new professors. Our next session will be on November 10th.***
In preparation for our next session(11/10), please do the following:
Please complete the exercises (i.e. A-J) for Unit 7 and read through the grammar details for Unit 7. Bring any questions you have regarding rules/these solutions with you to our next session.
Please read the file "Grammar for CAE Future p 24" and complete the check exercises on that page and complete exercises 1, 2, and 4 in the file "Grammar for CAE Future p 25" as well. (For exercise 1 on pg. 25, I would like you to also come up with contexts in which the form that you did not select for the book's sentence could work. An example for sentence 1 (whose answer is "she's going to") would be "I think she'll faint if you tell her that." Will-future works in this sentence because the if-clause construction takes us into the hypothetical. Going to-future is used in the book's sentence because one sees concrete evidence in the form of the pale face.) You'll find the answers to these exercises at the bottom of the post (but please do the exercises BEFORE checking your answers!).
- read the article in the file "Missing apostrophe" on Ilias and do the following:
a) make sure you can summarize what the case was about and what its ruling was
b) look up all of the words you don't know (there is quite a bit of legal language used in this article which will prove useful for you to know in your later studies)
c) summarize the basic rules of how apostrophes are used in English (this might require outside research/consultation with other English grammar/language books you own)
