Looking back:

What do you remember?

Adverbs of frequency

Position in sentence:

before the  main verb (hoofdww)

BUT after to be & hulpww

--> I am never late!

He can often help

New!

                                         Listening

TIPS:

• Practice (well, duh)= more vocabulary

• Read the question AND the answers

• Stick to the question and listen to what answers this.

• (it 's most likely given but in different words)

RULES:

1. Listen for the purpose

Ask yourself:

What information do I need to answer this question?

2. Look for keywords

Example:

"Mrs. Ahmed has an appointment on Tuesday at 10:30."

Keywords:

Mrs. Ahmed

Tuesday

10:30

3 . Listen for repetition

Speakers often repeat important information.

Example:

"The appointment is on Friday. Please remember, Friday at 2 p.m."

 If it is repeated, it is probably important!

4. Ignore unnecessary details

Example:

"Mr. Jones called this morning while he was drinking coffee at home. He wants to change his appointment from Monday to Wednesday."

What is important here?

• change appointment
• Monday → Wednesday
