- we began with a reminder that the end-of-year exam will take place on the last lesson, mercoledi' 6 novembre. See course outline below for a summary of the 5 chapters in Espresso 2 covered to date and the language points which have been addressed. If you'd like to start revising, on the second page you'll find a list of exercises in the text book Espresso 2 that relate to the chapters covered so far. There are also page numbers with solutions where you can check your answers. Please do email me any queries you may have.
- we briefly mentioned what had been covered the previous lesson, ie: the focus on using the verb volere in the imperfetto tense to ask for something politely: volevo chiedere....as well as the use of the verbs sapere and conoscere which have slightly different meanings when used in the imperfetto and passato prossimo
- to practice we began by looking at Espresso 2 pagina 57 esercizio 4 Ho Saputo che... and comparing the information in the two adverts for agriturismo by filling in the table on first page of handout (see below)
- using the information in the table we prepared a dialogue in pairs with A wanting to find out information on the agriturismo from B who had been there
- pagina 58 esercizio 5 Fuori dall'Italia may be completed as practise for the Reading exam. Once you have read the article, answer the questions in English. You can email your answers to me for marking
- next we revised when to use the two tenses imperfetto and passato prossimo - see handout
- in pairs we then completed pagina 59 esercizio 7 Diario di viaggio - firstly filling in the verb table with the appropriate forms of the verbs which appear in the passage and then rewriting the passage in the past tense using imperfetto or passato prossimo as required
- Homework: write up a description on your family - try and use the passato prossimo and imperfetto tenses to talk about where your parents were born, when they married, where you were born, brothers and sisters, children, descriptions of what family members look like.....etc. Remember reflexive verbs like sposarsi are conjugated as follows in the passato prossimo: mi sono sposato/a; ti sei sposato/a; si e' sposato/a; ci siamo sposati; vi siete sposati; si sono sposati - you're welcome to email me the description for marking
