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.
