Future Real Conditional with Pablo Neruda

Posted in Материалы, задания | No Comments »
  • Study the following poem
  • Pay attention to the marked forms
  • Read the extra information in Russian

the last leaf
If You Forget Me

I want you to know
one thing.

You know how this is:
if I look
at the crystal moon, at the red branch
of the slow autumn at my window,
if I touch
near the fire
the impalpable ash
or the wrinkled body of the log,
everything carries me to you,
as if everything that exists,
aromas, light, metals,
were little boats
that sail
toward those isles of yours that wait for me.

Well, now,
if little by little you stop loving me
I shall stop loving you little by little.

If suddenly
you forget me
do not look for me,
for I shall already have forgotten you.

If you think it long and mad,
the wind of banners
that passes through my life,
and you decide
to leave me at the shore
of the heart where I have roots,
remember
that on that day,
at that hour,
I shall lift my arms
and my roots will set off
to seek another land.

But
if each day,
each hour,
you feel that you are destined for me
with implacable sweetness,
if each day a flower
climbs up to your lips to seek me,
ah my love, ah my own,
in me all that fire is repeated,
in me nothing is extinguished or forgotten,
my love feeds on your love, beloved,
and as long as you live it will be in your arms
without leaving mine.

Pablo Neruda

If I Were a Boy

Posted in Материалы, задания | No Comments »
  • Watch it
  • Read the lyrics
  • Find the conditionals (eg. If I were a boy …, I’d roll out of bed…)
  • Watch it once again
  • Think what you’d done if you were a boy or a girl :)

If I Were A Boy

Beyounce
If I were a boy
even just for a day
I’d roll out of bed in the morning
and throw on what I wanted and go

Drink beer with the guys
and chase after girls
I’d kick it with who I wanted
and I’d never get confronted for it
cause they stick up for me

If I were a boy
I think I could understand
How it feels to love a girl
I swear I’d be a better man
I’d listen to her
Cause I know how it hurts
When you lose the one you wanted
Cause he’s taking you for granted
And everything you had got destroyed

If I were a boy
I would turn off my phone
Tell everyone it’s broken
so they’d think that I was sleeping alone

I’d put myself first
and make the rules as I go
Cause I know that she’ll be faithful,
waiting for me to come home, to come home.

If I were a boy
I think I could understand
How it feels to love a girl
I swear I’d be a better man
I’d listen to her
Cause I know how it hurts
When you lose the one you wanted
Cause he’s taking you for granted
And everything you had got destroyed

It’s a little too late for you to come back
Say it’s just a mistake,
think i’d forgive you like that
If you thought I would wait for you
you thought wrong

But you’re just a boy
You don’t understand
and you don’t understand, ohhhh
How it feels to love a girl
Someday you wish you were a better man
You don’t listen to her
You don’t care how it hurts
Until you lose the one you wanted
Cause you’re taking her for granted
And everything you had got destroyed

But you’re just a boy

Рассказывая о своих путешествиях, чаще всего мы применяем времена Past Simple и Past Perfect.

Основной трудностью, с которой зачастую бывает нелегко справиться, в формах прошедшего времени являются неправильные глаголы.

Все неправильные глаголы можно разделить на 9 основных групп, которые облегчают запоминание.

Кроме того, внутри групп многие формы рифмуются. Для запоминания можно попробовать придумать небольшие стихотворения для каждой группы или подгруппы. Придумайте их сами, и неправильные глаголы запомнятся быстрее – и навсегда :)
