The best way to say goodnight to a rainy night...



    To wish impossible things (The Cure)
Remember how it used to be
when the sun would fill up the sky
remember how we used to feel
those days would never end
those days would never end

Remember how it used to be
when the stars would fill the sky
remember how we used to dream
those nights would never end
those nights would never end

It was the sweetness of your skin
it was the hope of all we might have been
that fills me with the hope to wish
impossible things

But now the sun shines cold
and all the sky is grey
the stars are dimmed by clouds and tears
and all I wish
is gone away
all I wish
is gone away

all I wish
is gone away
Looking forward to seeing these films. Beauty and the Beast and Loving Vincent.






Buenas tardes, chicos! Os dejo aquí un resumen en español, claro y conciso, del uso del Futuro en inglés, además de algunos ejercicios con los que precticarlo. Espero que os sea útil.
See you soon!
FUTURO SIMPLE "WILL"

 Usamos futuro con WILL en...

 1.- Predicciones de acontecimientos o situaciones futuras (sin pistas o evidencias en el              presente)  
  
     When you return home, you'll probably notice a lot of changes.
     
     Suele usarse con;· Probably. I'll probably be a bit late today.
·                                   I'm sure. I'm sure you'll like Andrew.
·                                   I expect. I expect Carol will get the job. 
                                    I think. Do you think we'll win the match?

2− Usamos el futuro simple cuando decidimos algo sobre la marcha, en el momento en que      hablamos. 
        
     I've left the door open. I'll go and shut it.
:
2..- Ofrecimientos.

        I'll help you with your bag

4.-. Promesas. 

      I'll pay you back on Friday.

 5.-. Peticiones.    
  
      Will you shut the door, please?


Futuro con GOING TO.

1.− Usamos going to para futuro cuando tenemos intenciones o planes de hacer algo. 
     
        I'm going to have an early night.

2.− Usamos También going to para hablar de algo que tenemos la certeza de que va a               ocurrir en el futuro, ya que tenemos alguna evidencia de ello..    
   
      There is a hole in front of that man. He is going to fall into it.


PRESENTE CONTINUO (Valor de futuro)

 Se usa el presente continuo para:

1.- Preparativos, el futuro planificado.   

     I am having lunch with a friend tomorrow.at 9 o´clock.

 La diferencia entre usar el futuro con going to o el futuro con el presente continuo es que going to solo expresa intenciones mientras el presente continuo expresa planes fijos.

ªThere is a crack in everything, that's how the light gets in.ª

Leonard Cohen, rest in peace.



According to the URBAN DICTIONARY....
INBETWEEN DAYS
Days that aren´t good and aren´t bad, but you still need something. A day where you are missing something or someone.
"Today is my inbetween day." 

"I don't really like inbetween days." 

"I really like The Cure song, Inbetween Days."



If you follow my instructions and the pace I set, I ´m sure that you will learn how to use the irregular verbs in English. 

I advise you not to learn the list by heart. You needn´t study the list, but work on the list, making groups with the verbs that are similar in the way they make the past and past participle forms.  By doing this, you´ll find out that the irregular verbs follow some patterns. If you know these patterns and make groups, this will make  it easier to memorise them and learn them. Also make your own sentences with them and put them into context.

1) Verbs with all 3 forms identical -  HIT HIT HIT
2) Verbs with all 3 forms different : 
  • Verbs with –N in the Past Participle - TAKE TOOK TAKEN
  • Past with -ew, past participle with -own - KNOW KNEW KNOWN
  • Vowels change - RING RANG RUNG

3) Simple Past and past participle are similar:
  • Long “e” changes to short “e” - KEEP KEPT KEPT
  • -ought and –aught endings - TEACH TAUGHT TAUGHT
4) Infinitive and past participle are similar - COME CAME COME



5) Infinitive and Simple Past are similar - BEAT BEAT BEATEN
6) The REALLY Irregular Verbs - BE WAS/WERE BEE
