Next day, we reviwed grammar; too/ not..enough.

TOO
In spanish it means "demasiado".

Structure: subject+verb+too+adjective/adverb(+to+verb).

Examples:
-It is too late to say sorry.
-They are screaming too loudly to hear my voice.

NOT..ENOUGH
In spanish enough means "suficiente" (not enough=no lo suficientemente..).

Structure: subject+verb+not+adjective+adverb+enough(+to+verb).

Examples: 
-I'm not old enough to vote.
-We are not tall enough to play basketball.


REMEMBER!!
When we use a verb after too or not...enough, we use the infinitive with to, never the gerund.

On Tuesday, we reviewed again the conditionals.

Do you remenber how to do it?
Here we can resolve your problem:


FIRST CONDITIONAL

It is use in possible or probable future events.
 Structure: If+subject+verb in present simple
                 subject+will/won't(negative form)+verb.

Example: If Elena studies, she will pass the exams. 



SECOND CONDITIONAL 

 It is used in imaginary or unlikely situations in the present or future.
Structure: Subject+would+verb in infinitive.
                If+subject+past simple.

Example: I would meet the president of USA if I were famous.





THIRD CONDITIONAL 

 It is used for hypothetical events or situations in the past.
Structure: If+subject+had+past participle
                Subject+would have+past participle.

Example: If he hadn't gone to the meeting, he wouldn't have made new friends.



AS LONG AS/PROVIDING THAT

Sometimes we need to impose specific conditions or set limits on a situation. In these cases, conditional clauses can begin with phrases such as as long as(siempre y cuando), so long as, only if, on condition that, providing that(a condición de que) provided (that) and unless( a menos que..)

As long as is more common in speaking.

Examples:

-People will help as long as they are aware of the problem. 

-I will go to the meeting unless I am too busy.

-Provinding that they work hard, they will succeed.

WISHES AND REGRETS

Wishes for change in the present.

Structure: Subject+wish+past simple/past continuous.

Examples:

-I wish I were rich.

- I wish we were going on holidays this year.

Regrets about something in the past.

Structure: Subject+wish+past perfect simple.

Examples:

-I wish I hadn't drunk alcohol.

-I wish we hadn't insulted Mario.

Complains about a thing or situation.

Structure: Subject+wish+would+verb.

Examples:

-I wish my mother would treat me right.

- I wish she would count on me.

Last Friday, we went to Madrid and it was amazing!

We left Algeciras at 8 o'clock in the morning and we arrived to Madrid at 3 o'clock. In the train, we laughed a lot and we took a lot of photos with our friends and our teachers too.

When we arrived, we had lunch and then we started to visit the different places.
 In the evening, we went to the "Templo of Debot". There, our teacher Miguel explained us the monument and we took a lot photos together.

This is us, we wanted to take a photo together because we are best friends.








This is the "Templo of Debot" and it is an egipcian monument. It's very beautiful.

In this picture, I appear with my history teacher whose name is María Jesús.

At night, we walked through "Plaza Mayor" and "Puerta Del Sol".

 Before that, we went to the Real Palace. We are going to show some photos:

This is the Real Palace, where the royal family lived long time ago.

 Here, all of us appear with the teachers.

Then, we went to this place where there were a lot of people.





















 On Saturday, we went to this place but the police didn't let us enter into it.










 After we visited the museum, we went to the Retiro Park. We had free time and some of us sailed. We had a great time there!

 After we went to the cementery, our teacher, my classmates and I took the metro and we went to the stadium of Real Madrid. There we took a lot of photos and we bought in the official shop.

At night, we went to the fnac and then we had dinner in a restaurant. After that, we took this photo in Callao.

Before we went to the hotel, we visited the "Puerta del Sol"
and we found this; the zero kilometer. In this photo appear our shoes.

Next day, we bought a lot of presents for our family. There were a lot of shops and everything was very expensive
Then, we went to the Rastro ( a type of street market) and we bougth things too.

At the end, we came back to Algeciras.










 For us, Madrid was a incredible travel because we went with our friends and teachers and we laughed a lot. We will never forget this travel!

Friday, 23rd October 2,015

Last Friday, we haven't english class because 2º bachillerato went to Cadiz to visit all monuments and we saw a play  wich was about two women who explain us the constitution history and other interesting things.
Here, you can see some pictures:

                
In this picture, we can see the two characters whose  names are Lola la Piconera and Doña Lucrecia de Rimaldi.

In this picture, Lola is singing and dancing with the tourists but we are not them.







In the free time, we had lunch in the burguer king and after that, we took a lot of photos. We bought things that we will never forget.
It was an unforgettable trip! :)
We advice you: if you want to do a trip, Cadiz is the best place you can visit!
