You need 75 % of attendance to be present in the Final Oral Exam. This doesn’t count the
FOE class.
This 75% means that you can skip 7 modules of classes (without justification)
If you have between 64%-74% of attendance, I will decide if you can do the FOE (depending
on participation and responsibility during the course). If you have less attendance, Academic
Programs will decide if you can do the FOE.
Tardiness
● Tardiness is not considered. (But you won't have extra time if you come late to
a test).
● If you come to the class, write Presente and then leave 10 minutes later, that is
an absence.
Recuperative activities
● You can recover every class you skip. To do this you have to do the recuperative
activities that will be open in Canvas after every class.
● You have to do the recuperative activities COMPLETELY. That means: doing the
summary of the class you skipped and the specific activity related to it. If you only do
one of the activities, you will get a 50% of attendance. If you don’t do them correctly
at all, you will get 0%
● You will always have one week to recover the attendance.
● Recuperative evaluations will be determined on a case to case basis (except for the
oral tests: Oral Midterm and Final Oral Exam)
All cheating evidence will be instantly evaluated with a 1.0 and the case will be sent to
Secretaría Academica.
● We use will + adverb of frequency (almost always, often, rarely, sometimes, hardly
ever, can’t use always or never) + vb. in infinitive for activities/ exceptions to a routine
in the present.
○ We will almost always do a dialogue at the end of the class
○ I will sometimes order food because I don’t have time to cook.
● We use adverbs of frequency (always, never, rarely, often, etc) + vb. in present
simple to talk about present habits

Reported Speech
Use:
● We use reported speech when we want to communicate to someone what we heard
in the past, just like a report.
○ The teacher said the screen time session was open.
○ The mother told the kids that she was preparing breakfast.
● These two sentences in the present were:
○ The teacher: The screen time session is open. (Present simple)
○ The mother to the kids: I’m preparing breakfast! (Present continuous)
● To do the reported speech we need to change the tense of the original sentence one
step into the past (a backshift)
○ Present simple → Past simple
○ Past simple → can stay the same or use Past perfect.
○ Present continuous → Past continuous
○ Present perfect → Past perfect
○ Will → would
○ Can → Could
○ Should, must, ought to, would: stay the same.
● We also need to know if the original sentence had a specific audience or receiver of
the message. If the receiver is mentioned, we use tell. If the message didn’t have a
specific audience, we use say.
○ The teacher said the screen time session was open.
○ The teacher told the students that the screen time session was open.
Reporting questions
● Open questions
○ OS: Danae: Where is the library?
○ R.s.: Danae asked where the library was.
■ In this case we don’t use say or tell, we use ask and the word order of
the sentence is the same as an affirmative sentence.
○ O.s.: Miss Catalina: What page of the book is it?
○ R.S.: Catalina asked what page of the book was.
● Closed questions
○ OS: Javier: Are you listening to the teacher?.
○ R.S.: Javier asked if/whether you were listening to the teacher.
○ Vania: Is the sound very low?
○ R.S.: Vania asked if the sound was very low.
Reporting verbs
Presentation: Prepare a news show where you report recent news of different sections of a
regular news show. Put special focus on news that include interviews or things that people
said so you can use reported speech.

Defining relative clauses
A sentence inside another sentence, which gives essential information about the main
subject.
● The Shawshank Redemption is a prison movie. It goes beyond the violence
seen in films like that.
○ The Shawshank Redemption is a prison movie which/ that goes
beyond….
● When we use defining relative clauses, we can use who,which, where or that. We
can use that to replace who or which, but it’s less formal.
● You can’t replace where for that.
○ It’s the place where I met my girlfriend
○ It’s the place that I met my girlfriend
○ He’s the man who recovered my phone
Remember:
● Prepositions can go at the end of the sentence or before the relative pronoun. If you
put them before the relative pronoun, it’s more formal.
Class 13
Objective: Answer popular culture questions (p.119-120)
Topics:
● Grammar: participle clauses
—
Participle Clauses
Participle clauses have the same function as relative clauses: to give extra information
(defining or non defining) about a specific subject, however, its idea is to reduce the amount
of words in these sentences.
Regarding its structure, we don’t care if the subject is a thing, person, place or time. Instead,
we will only focus on the verbs: if they are active or passive verbs.
● When the sentence has an active verb, we use the present participle (verb in -ing)
to make the participle clause.
○ The man who played pool was also smoking. (Defining relative clause)
○ The man playing pool was also smoking (Participle clause)
● When the sentence has a passive verb, we use the past participle (verb in -ed /
irregular) to make the participle clause.
○ The man, who was sentenced to 40 years in jail, trains in the gym every day.
(Non defining relative clause)
○ The man sentenced to 40 years in jail trains in the gym every day. (participle
clause)
