Hello, boys and girls!

Last Tuesday Olivia told us about her adventures with PJ and his brother, Rocky, who happened to spend the week in the same house. Lucky them!

In our last lesson students answered some questions as usual. Then they had to write some dates and dictate them to a classmate. It was a good practice and I am sure now most students know that when telling the date they need to use ordinal numbers: 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, etc.

 We continued studying the weather. Some students got extra points because they remember words nobody else did like: freezing, boiling, foggy. 

We studied the Past Simple of the verb to be. It was not the first time students heard it but now we are studying it in a formal way. We use it when we talk about yesterday, last week, last Monday, etc...

Remember:

I was
You were
He/She/It was
We were
You were
They were

When we ask questions we need to change the order of the words and say: was it sunny yesterday? or Were you at home yesterday evening?

Students completed an exercise from the book: they had to rearrange some words to make a sentence: a positive sentence or a question. When we ask about the weather sometime in the past (yesterday, last Sunday, etc.) we say What was the weather like yesterday? So the only thing that changes from our usual way to ask about the weather is the word was instead of is:
What is the weather like today?
What was the weather like yesterday?

Finally students got a worksheet with some gaps and they had to find the missing information by asking a classmate questions like: What is the weather like in Oslo?
