Deodato's Final Exam Review

How prepared are you for your finals?

We will be reviewing:

• Future Tense

• CAN and COULD

• WOULD and SHOULD

• Conjunctions

• WAS and WERE (Pretty sure this one doesn't need to be reviewed.)

Do you remember all of them?

Would you like to ask anything before we begin?

Multiple Choice

What is the simple future tense for?

• for talking about things that already happened

• for talking about things that will likely happen in the future

• for talking about things happening right now

• for talking about things that are happening now and will continue to happen in the future

Multiple Choice

How do we write the simple future tense?

• subject + verb 1

• subject + verb 2

• subject + will/shall + verb 1

• subject + will/shall + be + verb-ing

What do you think are the differences between WILL and SHALL?

Open Ended

Turn this interrogative sentence into an affirmative one!

"Will we be home before sundown?"

Open Ended

Turn this affirmative sentence into a negative one!

"Real Madrid will win the Spanish league!"

Open Ended

Turn this negative sentence into an interrogative one!

"Mimi will not leave the front porch."

Open Ended

Now it's time to write 3 sentences, one in the affirmative, the other in the negative, and the last in the interrogative.

That's it for the simple future tense part

Any questions?

Multiple Choice

What's the difference between CAN and COULD?

• CAN is used in the present and future tense, while COULD is used for the past tense

• CAN is more formal than COULD

• COULD is used to answer questions, CAN is used to make requests

Multiple Choice

What is CAN used for?

• to talk about past actions that someone or something was once capable of

• to talk about someone or something's ability to do something

• to talk about how we had the chance to do something in the past, yet chose not to do it

Multiple Choice

What is COULD used for?

• to talk about someone or something's ability to do something in the present

• to make informal requests and/or suggestions

• to talk about someone or something's ability to do something in the past

Multiple Choice

What's the similarity between CAN and COULD?

• they can both be used to ask for permission and make requests

• they can both be used in the present, future, and past tense

• there's no similarity, as both words have completely different purposes

Multiple Choice

Which one is more formal?

• can

• could

Open Ended

Write 2 sentences! One for CAN, another for COULD.

CAN and COULD is pretty confusing, huh?

That's because they're kind of interchangeable.

Which word you use sometimes depends on the situation.

And at other times, it depends on your personal preference.

Just remember: Could is for past tense and politeness, while CAN is for the present and future tenses and informal speaking.

Multiple Choice

What is 'WOULD' used for?

• to make a polite request, ask questions, or express something about imaginary situations

• to express something that is probable, ask a question, or show an obligation or give a recommendation

Multiple Choice

What about 'SHOULD'?

• to make a polite request, ask questions, or express something about imaginary situations

• to express something that is probable, ask a question, or show an obligation or give a recommendation

Open Ended

Write 2 sentences, one using WOULD and the other with SHOULD.

That's that for SHOULD and WOULD...

Any questions?

Multiple Choice

Do you remember what conjunctions are?

• words that separate other words, phrases, or clauses into different sentences

• words used to express similarity between other words, phrases, or clauses

• words that link other words, phrases, or clauses together

Write down as many as you can.

Open Ended

Write 4 sentences with conjunctions.

Use AND, OR, BUT.

For the last one, use any conjunction other than the 3 shown above.

There are a ton of conjunctions out there...

And a lot of them are interchangeable!

So don't worry about making mistakes, since that's also a part of the learning process.

Plus, conjunctions can be pretty confusing.

Well, we're done with the review!

Do you feel you're ready for your English exam?

Oh, you still remember how to use WAS and WERE, right?
