Well, neither does bathing-that’s why we recommend it daily”

ING / INFINITIVE

When two verbs appear together in a sentence, the first verb determines if the second verb will be in the gerund form (-ing form) or the infinitive form (to+base form). But, how do we know if a verb is followed by the gerund or the infinitive? 

The only way is to memorize which verbs are followed by gerunds and which are followed by infinitives. If you read the photocopy, you'll find a very useful classification of verbs requiring gerunds, infinitives or both. Once you've read it through, you can practise clicking the links.

 

• Infinitive or Gerund • Exercise 2 Level: lower intermediate.

• Infinitive or Gerund • Exercise 2 Level: intermediate

• Infinitive or Gerund • Exercise 2 • Exercise 3 Level: upper intermediate

• Infinitive and/or Ing-Form Level: upper intermediate

Bookcrossing

Leave your book on the shelf... take another.

Talk to Miss Martin

BookCrossing (also BC, BCing or BXing) is defined as "the practice of leaving a book in a public place to be picked up and read by others, who then do likewise." The term is derived from bookcrossing.com a free online book club which was founded to encourage the practice, aiming to "make the whole world a library."

If you want to be a "bookcrosser", leave a book on the shelf which is in the hall. Do not forget to seal the book! Then you can take home another book. Please, write the date you receive it on the cover. If you want to free the book again, write down the date you release it.

Be a good "bookcrosser" and respect The three R's of  BookCrossing (BC):

•  Read 
•  Register 
•  Release 

Enjoy the reading!!

Advice for the class of 2018 by Jim Royall

Last Wednesday,  Jim Royall visited our school to give 2º Bachillerato a talk about motivation (in English, of course 😉). 

We want to thank Jim for giving us some advice. Do you remember them?

• Tip1. Self investment. Put you at the top of the list and keep education and health as your number 1 priority.

• Tip2. Have a plan. Develop and keep developing a plan of what you want from life. 1 year, 3 year, 5 year. Take only good advice.

• Tip3. Fear nothing, respect everything. Accept change, get to know cultures, places, push your boundaries everyday.

Believe in yourself, keep exploring, add value and be who you want to be.

Thank you, class!
