Hello dear classmates, I hope you're having a great day! , and thank you for visiting my new entry!
Today I'm sharing to you information about participial adjectives, As we know some of them ends with "-ING" and some others with "-ED" It's very important to remeber that if the participial adjective ends with "-ED" it has to be used to express a feeling, and if the adjective ends with "-ING" it refers to the "thing or situation" which has caused the feeling.
Example: She felt bored during the movie. (It, refers to the feeling of "she") The movie was boring. (It talks about the movie )
And to know more about the topic I'm attaching nice webpages where you will find extra information and usages of the participial adjectives, also I'm sharing a really nice video that explains in a simple and clear way the how to use adjectives ended in "-ED" and "-ING"

Actually, this topic has helped me to remember the correct usage of participial adjectives and also to improve my learning, because I wasn't sure in which cases the "participial adjective" come in front of nouns for example: She loved the amazing book. Dig you hear about the disappointing news?
I hope you're having a great day! , and thanks for visiting my new entry!
Well let's begin, We have already studied some infinitives and gerunds usage, but today I would like to focus just in sharing a complete view of the infinitives usage.
Infinitives have a lot of ways in which you can use them, and some situations are: - To express purpose e.g. I am calling to ask you about dad. - As the subject of a sentence, e.g. To visit the Grand Canyon is my life-long dream. - To indicate what something can or will be used for, Would you like something to drink?
- After and adjective: It is important for you to be patient with your little brother.
- To make a judgement : This is the right way to do. And much more ways to use them !
As you can see the usage of infinitives is very important and useful to know because we use then every day, so that's why I'm going to share at the end of this post, some links where you will find complete information about the topic and exercises.
Also here I'm attaching a nice video where you can watch 5 ways to use infinitives, based on the location of the infinitive: direct object, subjects, subject complements, adjectives and abverbs.
Actually this information have helped me to reinforce and understand correctly the usage the infinitives usage, because there were some that I didn't know how to use them.
Then I hope this material will be useful to you, too :D
Today In this post I'm sharing with you the (GO + GERUND) usage in context, actually this topic is really useful to know because is used in simple ideas like "go shopping" or "go hiking", but also there are some interesting variations that we need to remember and be sure about how to use them in context.
An example is the following: "I have gone camping ...." as you can see it follows the same structure "go +gerund" but in a different way, because there is a variation in the verb "go"
That's why I'm sharing at the end of the post a nice web page that show us how to use this grammar structure.
And to reinforce our learning I'm sharing the following picture where you can see the simple usage of "go + gerund", that is used commonly in certain idiomatic expressions about activities.
Also I'm sharing a nice video where you will see the correct usage of "go+gerund" with different verb tenses.
This information has been really useful for my learning, because it helped me to improve my knowledge about the different ways in which we could use the structure "go+ gerund" in different context and verb tenses. Then I hope that you like the information.
Definig and non-defining clauses - Relative Clauses
Hello guys!
Today I'm sharing with you a really interesting topic.
As we know, we have been studying the defining and non-defining clauses and all kinds of them (phrases in apposition, preposition phrases, infinitive clauses and relative clauses), so I have focused this post related with the relative clauses in defining and non-defining ways.
Here you can see in the follow diagram how the relative clauses are divided.
As you noticed for defining and non-defining clauses in some cases we can use the same pronoun but in different context, The pronoun can be used to give a relevant and specific information or just to give extra information.
I think these differences and specifications has been ones of the most importat things that I have learned with this post.
but also I'm sharing with you a nice video, where you can watch how to use both kind of relative clauses in contex.
I hope that you enjoyed the video, it's really nice and useful.
Also at the end of the post, I have attached some links where you will find more and clear information about the topic and of course if you want to practice at the end of the post click on "Practice". I'm sure you will get 10 :)
