Good morning!
Yesterday, we did some exercises about modal verbs and about  all the grammar that we have studied before.

Next week, we won´t  write anything in the blog, because  we have five days of holidays.

 HAPPY ANDALUSIAN DAY !( 28th February)

HELLO!
On Monday, we started  learning the modal verbs.
Modal verb and other related verbs express ideas of ability (can,could,be able to), posibility and certainty ( could, may, might, must, can´t), obligation (have to, must, need to,needn´t) prohibition (musn´t), and advice ( should, ought to)

 Examples: 

ABILITY
- I can speak three languages.
- I will be able to go to the cinema tonight.
- When she was five years old, she could play the piano.

POSIBILITY AND CERTAINTY 
 - I may study French today.
- It might rain later.

 OBLIGATION
- You have to study more if you want to pass all the exams.
- You musn´t  smoke  here.
- I need to go to the toilet.

ADVICE
- You should stay at home, you are really ill.
- Helen ought to be more careful.

We use a modal verb+ have+ past participle when we are talking about the past.

FELLINGS OF CERTAINTY ABOUT THE PAST.   
Estucture: must have + participle.
Example: She must have trained for many years.

REGRETS OR CRITICISM OF PAST ACTIONS.
Estructure : should have /ought to have + past participle.
Example: I should  have studied harder at school.

IMPOSIBILITIES IN THE PAST.
Estructure: can have + past participle 
Example: They can´t have passed their exams.

POSIBILITIES IN THE PAST.
Estructure: might have / may have/ could have + past participle.
Example: She might have become  a  famous mountaineer .

SUGGESTED ALTERNATIVES TO PAST ACTIONS.
Estructure: could have+ past participle.
Example: He could have gone to university.

Today, we are very nervous because we are going to do the speaking test. We have thirty minutes to plan our conversation. It's about a teacher who never prepare her lessons. Each of us have to give arguments against and in favour.
Elena agrees with the topic and I don't agree. We talk around five minutes.
The teacher told us that we have some mistakes but she also tells us that our speaking has been one of the best of all.

Yesterday, we read a text about a girl who works in a dangerous job, she is a stunt performer.
We did three activities, after that, we corrected them.
The teacher told us that we must do all the exercises that she gives us because they are very important for the marks.

On Monday, we did the exam!! It was not difficult, because we had studied a lot for it.
It was about indirect speech, reading and listening ;).
There were two exercises of reported speech.
To continue with, the reading was a little difficult. It was about the photographers and paparazzi.
Finally, we heard the listening and we did the exercises which were about the same topic that we had dealt in class(celebrities lives).

We're fine because our teacher Cristina let us listen to music in the class while we were doing a revision of indirect speech for the exam.

Here, we give you some activities that you should do:
1. Change into reported speech: 
-He's ill. She thought.
-I'll be back tomorrow. He said.
-I don't like this music. She said.
-Where's the bus station. She asked me.
-Have you finished?. I asked him.
-Nobody loves me. I felt.
-Do you want tea or coffee?. He asked her.
