Objective
At the end of this lesson, I’ll be able to use noun clauses after verbs like think or adjectives like disappointed to talk
about books and authors.
A noun is the anme we give to animals, places, people, things etc. example: Luis, cat, Mexico, Park etc..
Nouns can be the subject of a verb, the object of a verb, or the object of a preposition.
A noun clause is a phrase that contains a subject and a verb and this phrase can be the subject or object of a verb or
object of a preposition.
In this lesson we’ll see noun clauses that start with the connector that as object of certain verbs or after some adjectives
As you can see the structure is very simple. You just need to say a phase like I think then the connector that and a clause
(a phrase with a subject and a verb)
Example:
In these kind of examples it is possible (and often common) to eliminate the conector that
Example:
It is also common to use noun clauses after certain adjectives. That is also optional.
Ti is not necessary to repeat the phrase this book is good so we replace it with so.
Yes I think so

Unit 4 lesson 2
Objective:
At the end of this lesson I’ll be able to use noun clauses to make a question less direct.
Tell me = dime
I wonder = me pregunto
Connectors:
Where
When
Who
Whose = de quien
Why
What
Whether / if = si (conditional)
Grammar.
To soften a question (or make it less direct) it is common to use a phrase (like the ones in the vocabulary above ↑)
Look at example 1 in the chart. When we add a phrase to soften a question, what happens to the subject and the verb
be?
They return to the affirmative position (first the subject then the verb). This is going to happen when in the question we
have the verb be (in any tense: present or past etc) or any modal. Example:
what book will she require for her class? → Do you know what book she will require for her class?
Look at the examples 3 and 4 in the chart. What happened to the auxiliary verbs does and did? And what happened to
the verbs?
When we add a phrase to a question that has did, do or does, the auxiliary disappears. However remember that the
auxiliary indicates the tense. After eliminating the auxiliary, we have to indicate the tense in the verb (conjugate the
verb in present or past.)
Look at examples 5 and 6. They’re yes-no questions. The structure is the same (first the subject, then the verb, and do or
did disappear)
The difference is that when we add a phrase to soften a question, we have to use the connector if or whether. In this
case both words mean the same.
Does she like to read? → Do you know if she likes to read? =Do you know whether she likes to read?
Finally look at all the examples in the chart (less direct questions) examples 3 and 6 don’t have a question mark (?). the
question mark depends on the phrase we add to soften the question. If the phrase is a question, we use a question mark
at the end but if the phrase is not a question, then we don’t use a question mark. For example the phrase Do you
know…? Is a question, but the phrase Tell me… is not a question.

Unit 5 lesson 1
Objective:
At the end of this lesson, I’ll be able to report an instruction or suggestion that was given using the imperative.
Grammar:
Sam: A hurricane is coming in about ten hours. Buy supplies, return home as soon as possible and hide with
your family in the basement don’t wait too long. See you later. I’m going to the supermarket.
In the conversation, Sam is giving instructions using the imperative (verbs with no subjects). Can you find
them?
Yes the imperatives in the conversation are “buy supplies”, “return home as soon as possible”,“hide in the
basemen with your family”, and “don’t wait too much”
Now read the conversation. Ben is telling his wife about his conversation with Sam.
Ben: yes he said not to wait too long. Don’t worry. I’ll be back soon.
1 What happened to the imperatives he reported to his wife?
2 he changed don’t to simply not and continued with an infinitive ( he said not to wait…)
Be careful to make the necessary changes to keep the same idea. For example:
Ben finds a friend at the supermarket and is telling him about the recent events.
Respond pages 52, 53 and grammar booster on page 129(audios are available in edmodo). Then respond the
corresponding activities in the workbook.
Unit 5 lesson 2
Objective: at the end of this lesson, I’ll be able to report speech changing tense (when necessary) and to use
the reporting verbs tell and say correctly.
Say and tell are reporting verbs. Since we usually report things from the past, we usually use them in their
past form said and told.
The difference is that after told, we have to mention the listener and after said we don’t.
Example:
We “report speech” when we tell somebody about comments and facts we read or heard.
For example:
Look at the next sentences and how they are reported. Pay attention to pronouns and time expressions.
However, it is not always necessary to change tenses when the information is still true.
Example
Wednesday
If you report this information the same day, you can say:
Sara told me that she needed help that day (or on Wednesday)
Respond pages 54 and 55 including the grammar booster on page 129 and 130 (unit five lesson 2 only) in the
now you can section on page 55 report all the news using reported speech. Audios will be available in edmodo.
Respond pages 56, 57, 58, 59, 60 and 61 and finish the workbook unit 5. There are no grammar points. That’s
why I’m asking you to respond them with no more instructions. Also do the writing booster for unit 5.
Then watch the videos and respond the worksheets. Audios and worksheets will be available in edmodo.

Unit 6 preview.
Vocabulary:
After investigating this vocabulary, please respond pages 62 and 63 and the corresponding pages in the
workbook.
Unit 6 lesson 1
Objective:
At the end of this lesson, I’ll be able to use was/were going to and would to talk about intentions in the past that
changed or weren’t achieved.
It’s hard to make a living as (an artist) es duro (dificil) ganarse la vida como (un artista)
I didn’t pass the exam no pasé el exámen
When we have intentions for the future, we can use be going to.
Example:
We use was/were going to, when after time that intention changed or wasn’t achieved for some reason.
Examples:
She wasn’t going to study at this university, but they offered her a full scholarship.
Grammar: would
We can also use would to talk about past intentions but it has to be in a noun clause as a direct object of verbs
like think, say, explain, believe, etc. (remember we are talking about past intentions so these verbs should be
in past.
Example:
Mary thought she was going to be an engineer but her family talked out of it.
I believed my parents weren’t going to help me to pay for my studies but they did.
Respond pages 64 and 65 including the grammar booster on page 130, then respond the corresponding

Unit 6 lesson 2
Objective:
At the end of this lesson, I’ll be able to use the perfect modals to express regrets or speculation about past
actions and events.
Must have
May have
Might have
Should have
Would have
Could have
Examples:
Jim must have been accepted to the university, he looked very happy.
Remember that no matter what the subject is, the modal never changes with the subject. It always uses have,
and the verb after the perfect modal is always past participle.
Meaning:
Must have indicates we are very sure that we know the reason something happened.
She didn’t pass the exam. She must have gone to a party instead of studying. (Seguramente ella debió haber
ido a una fiesta en lugar de estudiar.)
When I’m not very sure that I know the reason I use may have or might have.
She didn’t pass the exam. She may have gone to a party instead of studying. (a lo mejor ella fué a una fiesta
en lugar de estudiar)*the idea is in past but in the structure in English we have to use the perfect modal.
She didn’t pass the exam. She might have gone to a party instead of studying. (quizá ella fue a una fiesta en
lugar de estudiar) *might is less certain than may.
Should have indicates we regret about something we did or didn’t do in the past.
I should have chosen a different career. This one is too hard. (Debería haber elegido una carrera diferente.
Esta está demasiado difícil.)
Why didn’t you study French? You could have applied for the scholarship to study a master in France. (¿Por
qué no estudiaste francés? Podrías haber solicitado la beca para estudiar una maestría en Francia.)
Would have expresses we are very sure about the result of a condition.
If I had married before finishing my studies, it would have been really hard to finish them later. (Si me hubiera
casado antes de terminar mis estudios, habría sido realmente difícil terminarlos después.)

Unit 7 lesson 1
Objective:
At the end of this lesson, I’ll be able to use adjective clauses with that and who to describe holidays and their
participants.
Vocabulary:
Grammar: adjective clauses with subject relative pronouns who and that.
Remember an adjective is a word that gives a description and a clause is a phrase that contains a subject and
a verb. Therefore, an adjective clause is a phrase that contains a subject and a verb, and it gives a description.
Noun clauses and adjective clauses are very similar the difference is their position in a sentence. A noun
clause can be placed before a verb (because it is the subject), after a verb (because it is the object of the
verb), or after a preposition (because it is the object of the preposition. If it is necessary, review the information
about noun clauses on page 1 of this document or unit 4 in your student’s book.
An adjective clause is always placed after the noun it refers to (a person, an animal, a city, etc.) in this lesson
we’ll learn how to use adjective clauses with the subject relative pronouns who and that.
Imagine that you are talking about your traditions and say something like
This sentence indicates that 100% of the people celebrate the day of the Virgin Maria. But this is not true. To
prevent confusion we add an adjective clause after the noun people to describe the people that really
celebrate this day.
“In Mexico people who are catholic celebrate the day of the Virgin Maria.”
We call who and that subject relative pronouns because they refer to the noun before them, but at the same
time, they are the subject of the verb they have after them.
Use who to refer to people and that to refer to people and things.
Remember: adjective clauses give more information about a noun and they always go after the noun they
describe
Examples:

the workbook. Audios are available in Edmodo.
Unit 7 lesson 2
Objective
At the end of this lesson, I’ll be able to use adjective clause with the object relative pronouns
We say that the relative pronoun (who or that) is an object when it does not do the action.
Example:
Remember that who refers to the girl, but it is not the subject of the verb invite. The subject of the verb invite is
Andres.
Silvia is the girl who Andres invited to the “huamantlada” → Silvia is the girl Andres invited to the
“huamantlada”.
Diego is the boy that Elena met at the festival. → Diego is the boy Elena met at the festival.
In addition, when who is the object, it can be changed to whom. The idea is the same but remember this can
happen only if who is the object.

Unit 8 lesson 1
Objective:
In this lesson, I’ll review the use of the real conditional and the unreal conditional.
Grammar: conditionals for the present and the future.
A conditional sentence has two parts: the “if” clause and the “result” clause. (Remember a clause is a phrase
that has a subject and a verb). Use a comma to separate the two parts.
Example:
We use present real conditionals to describe what people normally do in certain situations. The two clauses
(“if” clause and “result” clause) are in simple present.
Example:
If I have problems with my phone, I always call tech support. →Si tengo problemas con mi teléfono, siempre
llamo a servicio al cliente.
Example:
When I have problems with my phone, I always call tech support. →Cuando tengo problemas con mi teléfono,
siempre llamo a servicio al cliente.
It is also possible to start with the result clause but don’t use the comma.
Example:
We use future real conditionals to escribe what will happen after certain situations take place.
The “if” clause is in present, but the result clause is in any form of future (going to, will)
Example:
The “if” clause is in the simple past (but it refers to the present), and the “result clause uses the modal would or
could.
Example:
It is possible to use could in the “if” clause (but not would) because could is also the past of can.
Example:
If you could turn off your cellphone, I would appreciate it. Si pudieras apagar tu celular, lo apreciaría.
When we need to use the verb be in the “if” clause, we use were with all the subjects. Remember this only
happens when describing imaginary situations in the present.
Example:
If the corona virus weren’t still active, we could go back to normality. Si el corona virus no estuviera aun activo,
podríamos regresar a la normalidad.
It is possible to use was in an imaginary situation but this is considered very informal.
Respond pages 88 and 89 and the grammar booster on page 134 then respond the corresponding activities in
the workbook. Audios are available in Edmodo.
Unit 8 lesson 2
Objective:
At the end of this lesson, I’ll be able to use the past unreal conditionals.
We use the past unreal conditionals to talk about imaginary situations in the past (da!)
Imagine that you were driving and got distracted with your cellphone, as a consequence, you hit the car in front
of you. So you start thinking:
“if I had paid more attention to the road, I wouldn’t have hit the other car” Si hubiera puesto mas atencion al
camino, no habria golpeado el otro coche.
or
“if I hadn’t gotten distracted with the phone, I could have stopped on time” Si no me hubiera distraido con el
telefono, me podria haber detenido a tiempo.
The “if” clause is in the past perfect (if + subject + had + verb in past participle).
The “result” clause uses subject + modal would or could + have + verb in past participle.
Remember we can start with the result clause but we don’t use the comma.
I wouldn’t have hit the other car if I had paid more attention to the road.
Questions
To make a question about a condition (present, past, real or unreal). We make the question in the result
clause. No matter if it is at the beginning or at the end.
If you have problems with your phone, do you call tech support?
Do you call tech support if you have problems with your phone?

Unit 9 lesson 1
Objective:
At the end of this lesson, I’ll be able to bring up a controversial issue using non-count nouns that represent
abstract ideas.
An abstract noun is something we can’t physically touch or perceive but we know it is there

Unit 9 lesson 2
Objective:
At the end of this lesson, I’ll be able to discuss controversial issues politely using objects and infinitives.
Vocabulary:
Remember: when there is a noun or pronoun after a verb, it is the object of the verb.
Examples:
They agreed to lower the driving age. Acordaron reducer la edad para manejar.
She doesn’t seem to accept the result. Parece que no acepta el resultado.
These verbs are followed by an object and an infinitive
Examples:
She reminded me to vote before 6:pm. Me recordó que votara antes de las 6:00.
They encouraged her to vote for their candidate. La motivaron a votar por su candidato.
