It was a very interesting start of the lesson as we learnt about the new pope, Francis, who had just been elected. We also talked about the atmosphere in the studio of the TV show 'Wer wird Millionär'.

In our grammar section we talked about the auxiliary verbs to do, to have, and to be. The latter, we must still talk about in detail. Then it is the modal auxiliaries.

We learnt to know each other and we discussed some typical mistakes with regard to the present perfect and to like+infinitve as well as to like+gerund.

We also discussed the verb, the declined present tense forms, the past tense as a tense form, and the past participle as a verb form that cannot be used without an auxiliary verb. We also talked about the difference between the gerund and the present participle. Click here for the information sheet.

We also listened to a report about a children's fashion show. Click here if you want to see some of the clothes designed for this show.
