Friday Sept 16: Unit 7 Review: Now in Teacher Resources, not on my blog.

Hello all!!

I hope you can make it to my very important review day this Friday.

If you cannot for any reason, please make sure to do the review which is now posted in Teacher Resources, Unit 7: Click on the links and do on-line exercise which review Noun Clauses as well as Quoted/Reported Speech.

Other important points: Make sure you review:
-The 3 types on Noun Clauses and word order in all of them: Subject is ALWAYS followed by verb in a Noun clause
-Rephrasing questions so they contain noun clauses
-Quoted Speech: using the appropriate verb (said, asked, told, screamed,begged, complained,etc)
-Changing Quoted speech to Reported Speech-remember to change the subject, to ensure subject comes before the verb and to discard do/does/did & change the verb in the sentence accordingly
-Changing Reported speech back to Quoted speech

That's all! Have a great night and see you tomorrow :)
