What is your opinion about using blogs to learn English?I want to know your opinion about these lab sessions? Is there anything you would change? or you wouldn't change anything?

i think that is very funny and a good form to learn english, and for me is very useful because the most part of the time I am in front of a computer looking for some information or sending mails, etc.. the blogs are a good idea to write all about that I learn, also we can add some pictures and to interact with other persons.

I think I am going to use my blog always to save information about english grammar
and wouldn't change anything =)

thanks for that!!! ***

what do you think about tic tac toe?

I think that the tic tac toe is a good form to learn and teach more about conditionals, also is very funny, the students can play and understand easily because they love to play =)

Can you think of another way to teach Conditionals?

yes, maybe with songs, images or playing with sentences where the students can enjoy learning about the conditionals

session 3

Zero Conditional:

structure:

if clause if + subject + simple present verb
e.g : if I am late to class my teacher gets angry

main clause subject + simple present verb
e.g : my teacher gets angry, if I am late to class

First conditional :

structure: if +present simple+ will +base verb
e.g : if I dont see my boyfriend tomorrow I will be sad

Second conditional:

structure: if+past simple+would+base verb
e.g : if I won the race I would be happy

Third conditional:

structure: if +past perfect+would have+past participle
e.g : if I had lived in united states I would have gone to the statue of liberty

session 2

Conditional exercises.

what did you learn today?How many good and bad answers did you get? is there anything that you need to study more?Do you have any questions ?

today I enjoyed the class of grammar in the lab , I learned more about the conditionals practise in the exercises and I was wrong in only one ,I will study more about zero conditional to be better, the only questions could be where can I find more exercises t about the zero, first, second and third conditional in the web?
