Do you want to know the origins and history of this special day? I worked a bit on that in class with some of you, but it deserves more time. Read the articles first and then watch the videos to understand them better. I think it is very interesting!!! The first video is a bit long and would be more apropriate for the students of 2nd batxillerat, but everydoby is invited! HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

Here you have the list I promised. You will see 5 columns instead of 3, which I think is better for you to avoid confusion with other tenses (gerund, present simple).

Student of 3rd ESO: you can fill in the gaps of the list you have in Workbook page 127, but you still have to look up the meaning in the dictionary for the exam we will do soon!

Students 2n Batx: it will be good for you as well to revise, although I know many of you already know it, don’t you?

Here you have a song to practice the 3 past tenses we have revised today in class. I’m sorry I didn’t find a song by Columbus, I think he was too busy sailing the sea…

 You have to fill in the gaps with the correct verb form meanwhile you watch the video. Ask me for the solutions next week!

You …………….(8-touch) my heart you …………….(9-touch) my soul.

You …………….(10-change) my life and all my goals.

And love is blind and that I …………….(11-know) when

I’ …………….(13-kiss) your lips and …………….(14-hold) your head.

Goodbye my lover.

Goodbye my friend.

You …………….(18-be) the one.

You …………….(19-be) the one for me.

I am a dreamer but when I wake,

You can’t break my spirit – it’s my dreams you take.

Remember us and all we …………….(20-use) to be

<>()<>

I …………….(21-see) you cry, I …………….(22-see) you smile.

I’d spend a lifetime with you.
