PRESENT SIMPLE VS PRESENT CONTINUOUS

Here you have an exercise we've done in class. Test yourself =) and if you need some more practice =(, you can go to 'agendaweb' and keep on trying.

MODAL VERBS

Here is an exercise about modal verbs for you to practise.

PRESENT PERFECT

In order to practise this tense -the present pefect- I recommend you to visit this page where you will find some useful grammar explanation about it.

Then, you can do the exercises that follow the explanation:

• In exercise 5 you can practise with sentences in isolation. 
• Exercise 6 6 is about present perfect in context.

You can also practise on www.agendaweb.org

PREPOSITIONS

Here you have two pages where you can practise prepositions.

The first one is related to prepositions of time. You can have a look at the explanation (very graphic) and do the exercise below which has to do with travel.  http://www.grammar-quizzes.com/preps_time.html.

The second one has to do with using prepositions for time and place. It is prepositions in context because you have a text to fill in about Michael Phelps, an Olympic swimmer. http://www.grammar-quizzes.com/preps_paragraph.html.

If you are more interested in prepositions you can press the different options at the top of the page.

COMPARATIVES AND SUPERLATIVES

Have a look at the following presentation. It is about the use and structure of comparatives and superlatives that summarises what we have seen and practised in class. I hope you find it useful. Then you can do the following geography quizzes and at the same time you check your geography knowledge you can practise comparatives http://www.eclecticenglish.com/quizzes/ComparativeQuiz/comparativeQuiz.html or superlatives http://www.eclecticenglish.com/quizzes/SuperlativeQuiz/superlativeQuiz.html
