Today we continued our work with adjectives of description and learned some new grammar about duration of time.
Here are the notes from the class:
Adjectives of Description
There are two types of descriptions:
Physical
This type of decription describes what we can see in a person. This includes how they look and dress.
ex: He is short and has brown hair.
To form sentences using this type of description we can use the verbs "to be" and "to have."
Personality
This type of description is more personal, it describes what a person acts like, what their temper is like.
ex: She is intelligent and kind, she is open-minded.
To form sentences using this type of description we can use the verbs "to be."
Activity
We described physically and about the personality of two famous people and described them to a partner for them to guess.
For, Since, When/During
For: use for a duration of time that is complete.
ex. I have studied English for 4 years.
Words such as "forever", "ages", and "a long time" are also considered as complete durations.
Since: use for the start of a period of time that is not finished. This is a continuous duration.
ex. I have been in France since last May.
This word is used with dates, seasons, months, stages of life, ages, etc.
During/While: describes when something happens and refers to a simultaneous actions.
During + noun + verb While + 2 verbs
ex. During WWII, many people died.
While I was eating I watched TV.
