CUARTOS: MORE GRAMMAR LINKS: REPORTING VERBS

Hi everybody, your homework for next Friday is related to reported speech. In case we have no time in class to revise everything...here are some links for you to study reporting verbs that often cause confusion (suggest, recommend, demand, deny etc.). The link to BBC learning English is really good! I will never insist too much on that.....you can find quizzes, exercises, explanations, pronunciation, videos.....you won't need your teacher any longer! ;-), the other one is also good for quizzes and exercises...enjoy

WARNING

Hello students and friends, as Zenitram says in one of his comments, be careful with links posted by unknown people. I have been deleting a few posts these days (with links to porn sites). They are posted by people using different nicknames, so , it is sometimes difficult to know whether it is a new student logging in or not. I suggest ignoring all links posted on the blog, except the ones posted by me, usually related to English learning sites. If any of you have interesting links to recommend, send them to me by email first, and I will post them on your behalf.
I will not let the blog be affected by these parasytes....:-)

LISTENING PRACTICE

Hi guys, here is another link you might find useful to practise listening comprehension (besides the ones in my favourite links, the ELLLO site some of you have already visited and the BBC learning English)

http://examenglish.com

you will find all skills and levels here

remember that you are not going to improve if you only practise in class once or twice a week ;-)...

GOOD LINK

Hi boys and girls, here's a good link with interactive quizzes to practise all sorts of things for various levels... tell me if it works....
