Dependent prepositions

A long time ago a friend and colleague from EOI Avilés told me about these links and I had nearly forgotten about them. They are some exercises on dependent prepositions. Have a go!

Using “advanced” structures

We are advanced students of English, aren’t we?  Then, let’s show it!

It is by using a wide variety of structures and vocabulary that we show our command of a language, and the best way to show that we have an advanced level of English is by using advanced structures.

If you want to do some revision on Passive Voice, have a look at what we have done in our lesson today.

Grammar: we hate it, but we need it.

As I told you in the lesson, we are not doing more exercises on infinitive and gerund, but I also told you that Reyes had prepared a compilation of exercises taken from the internet so you can get more practice.

So, that’s it. Work hard and have fun

Thank you, Reyes. I’m sure lots of students will find your selection very useful.

Just in case you miss me!

Remember that I told you We won´t hve our lesson on April 1st and 2nd because I’m going to a National School Of Languages Conference, but you have to do some revision on your own.

Our last lesson was a bit tough because we had to do some grammar work. You know, these structures that make a difference between elmentary, intermediate and advanced students…

You can check what we did now and, do please do some practice. Here are just a few examples of exercises. We’ll be doing some work on conditionals when we come back to our lessons, but then you will have to show thet they are no longer a problem for you and you have them under control.

Wish you were here Pink Floyd

Wish You Were Here is a concept album by Pink Floyd. Recorded at Abbey Road Studios between January and July 1975 and released on 15 September 1975 (see 1975 in music), the album would later be regarded as one of Pink Floyd’s greatest albums and was ranked 209 on Rolling Stone‘s 500 Greatest Albums of All Time list. Its lyrics, written by Roger Waters, concerned the music industry, and questioned the market-oriented record companies’ lack of understanding and interest for musicians. The album also pays tribute to Syd Barrett, Pink Floyd’s former guitarist and chief songwriter, especially with “Shine On You Crazy Diamond” and the title track itself.
