MT - U6 REVIEW :)

​Today we'll be reviewing Unit 6 :)

Verb patterns, word transformation and quantifiers!

Verb patterns​

These are the ways we organize verbs in a sentence. It is very normal to use several different verbs to achieve meaning.

In class, we've worked on verb patterns that include the non-conjugated forms of verbs. Thus, we'll be reviewing how to use the to infinitive, bare infinitive and -ing forms.​

What were quantifiers?

Excellent questions! We use them to refer to amounts and quantities of things. We can use them for uncountable nouns but also with countable nouns. Most quantifiers are not exact.​

Which will be the final part of this presentation!!

Finally!!!! These take so long to make!!!!!!!!!

Noun transformation​

We've worked on several different kinds of noun transformation during Unit 6. Here is a review of them :)

• In order to turn nouns into adjectives, we can add the endings -ic or -al. metal -> metallic / centre -> central

• In order to turn a verb into a noun, we can add the endings -er or -or. print -> printer/ calculate -> calculator.

• To give a verb the opposite meaning, we add the preffix -dis. Trust -> distrust.

• To give a verb the meaning of "doing s​omething again", we can add the preffix -re. Play -> replay.
