Can you use "can?"





What skills do you like to use?  Did any of your classmates' skills surprise you?  What can I do to help you enjoy the class?

That's the way it is...




Don't give up.  The more you practice, the better you get.  Quizlet is the program I use for electronic flashcards.  Some people add the app to their phone.  Some people always go through the link on this website.  (On a phone, you may have to go to the bottom and click on "view web version.")

Both ways to access Quizlet are fine.  Please give me feedback -- I want to put on all the new words from class that you need to practice.  I also want to fix any mistakes.

 read your mind = know what you think      'cause=because     give up = quit     that's = that is    upnill = uphill = difficult

Click here to join our evening class on Quizlet carefully -- don't pay $$

Unlike Celene Dion, I can't read minds.  Tell me some of your recent story or tell me a story that's popular in your old country.

Grammar Practice (Plum PM Class)

While responding to questions, I briefly talked about a LOT of basic English grammar this evening.
Do you want to practice?  (The difficulty in these posts varies a lot.  They all start easy, but some of the later exercises may be difficult.)

a vs. the                 Have vs. Has                  Pronouns  

Please click the next link if the worksheet I gave you for homework is difficult.
 Present Tense -- Do you want to practice? want/wants like/likes need/needs


Monday's class:  Don't use ______ing or to after will

If this grammar is easy for you, focus on listening or writing!
  • Pick a song to repeat until you can sing it.  Asuka made a CD of English songs she liked, and listened to them while she was driving.  You may want to make a playlist on your phone. 
  •  Answer blog questions with comments or on paper to give me in class.

You are so beautiful


Describe a beautiful person in your life.

I know it's raining, but we have class!


There are (at least) 3 grammar mistakes in this song.  Can you find them?  What are they?

Hello (Adele cover)



Hello!!  Never be sorry for talking about yourself in my class.  Please write about yourself.  Who are you?  What do you like to do?  Where are you from?  What's your favorite food?  What are your favorite things to do?  What is your favorite holiday?  Do you have a big family?  What makes you happy?

Hello



Do you believe in love at first sight?  If you are happily married, write about meeting your spouse. Write about a time you met a friend.
