First Period of classes

I love English, that is the reason for I'm studying this career. This is my second year and I will show you how much I learned and improved in this language since I've been studying in the university, especially this semester.

This is a summary in which I don't want to explain all the topics but I will mention all of them. I want to highlight the topics that were new for me and also those who helped me improve the knowledge I had.

These are the new topics for me:

Tag Questions

There are little phrases in the end of a sentence, it can be positive or negative. The main objective of this kind of questions are confirm or deny something.

The golden rule is this: 

With affirmative sentences we use a tag question in NEGATIVE.          

Ex: He isn't Carlos, is he?

In negative sentences we use a tag question in POSITIVE.        

Ex: You are Tom, aren't you? 

Shall
I didn't know anything about "Shall". This is the British Way to use "will". In American English is not common but I will be a teacher and It's important to know this kind of things. 

Causatives

The causative is used when one thing or person makes another person or thing do something.

Let: To allow someone to do something.

Ex: My father let me drive his new car.

Make: To force someone to do something.

Ex: She made his son do his homework:

Have: To give someone the responsibility to do something.

Ex: I have my students doing the homework. 

Get: To convince to do something. This is the only causative that uses "to" before a verb.

Ex: I get my brother to help me fix the computer.

In this period of classes, the teacher helped us to improve the topics we studied last semester.

How to use correctly the Present Perfect and Past Perfect and the difference between both. Also, a review of the use of Simple Present. I've been studying how to identify the pasive voice and active voice in a sentence. This topic was a little confusing but now I could understand better. And finally, the Modal Verbs. Especially, how to use Must, Be able to, May and Might.

And my favorite part of this classes:

We studied the topic of Health Matters, vocabulary about symptoms of a sickness and medications, and readings about types of medical treatment. Another readings, listenings and dictations about climate change, environment, stories about ghosts, soft sand deserts and many interesting things that help me to increase my vocabulary.
