Unit 3
REVISION Dagli argomenti studiati hai imparato a:
» COMMUNICATION
»
• chiedere e dire l’età di una persona;
How old are you? How old is Mike? My father is 40 years old.
• dire in quale giorno della settimana compi una data azione.
I play basketball on Friday.
• dare il buongiorno e salutare secondo l’ora e la circostanza nella quale ha luogo l’azione.
Hello! Hi! (Susan). Good morning/Good afternoon. Good evening/Good night. Goodbye/Bye-bye.
• dire a che ora compi una determinata azione.
I get up at seven thirty. I go back home at 4 o’clock.
» SOME GRAMMAR POINTS • Where do you live?
Dove abiti?
• I do not live in a flat.
Non abito in un appartamento.
La forma negativa ed interrogativa del presente indicativo dei verbi ordinari si ottiene, come già accennato, con l’ausiliare do (does per la terza persona singolare).
• I never go to school by bike.
Non vado mai a scuola con la bici.
• I usually go to school by bus.
Di solito vado a scuola col bus.
Tieni presente che always, often, never, usually, sometimes e rarely si collocano prima del verbo, ma dopo il verbo to be (essere).
• Susan, how old are you?
Susan, quanti anni hai?
• I’m twelve years old.
Ho dodici anni.
• My father is forty years old.
Mio padre ha quaranta anni.
Per chiedere e dire l’età di una persona la lingua inglese fa uso della espressione to be…. old.
» LANGUAGE PRACTICE Prendi buona nota che: a) children, plurale di child, significa ragazzi (maschi e femmine). Lo stesso vocabolo viene usato per indicare la prole, i figli (maschi e femmine). b) casa ha due forme: house e home. House si riferisce all’edificio; home indica il focolare domestico. Tieni bene a mente to go home e to be at home (andare a casa e essere a casa). c) People significa popolo, ma anche gente.
