A3HW4 (3 weeks in a row): verbs verbs and some nouns

On May 28th, we started on verbs (UNIT 3) and you learnt the basic form of VERBS.

NOUNS: We also worked on some short nominal phrases, NOT using the verbs,  Nominal phrases are called nominal because they have no verbs in them. The worksheet given in past two weeks has many phrases and sentences on them and they are all NOMINAL sentences.  This is in line with UNIT 5

on June 4th, we extended the VERB knowledge to the full past tense charge.  You also completed a worksheet about basic form of verb and the role of attached pronouns with a verb.  In NOUNS world you learnt about interrogative nouns (UNIT 6)


On June 11th, We will extend that knowledge of verbs and nouns separately again ensuring you are very comfortable with verbs and nouns before we go for long break.  This is where we will pick when we return!
