Listen carefully, the man speaks quite fast...

Slide 2 - Tekstslide

the alphabet
We are going to do a quiz. A fast quiz!
You are going to see a letter and below that letter are a few ways of pronouncing that letter. For each letter you get 5 seconds to choose the correct answer. Like so:
The alphabet
Most letters will be clear to you all! But some letters might need some more explaining. That explanation will follow after the letter...
the answers are phonetic (fonetisch, dat betekent: hoe je het uitspreekt)
So the answer in the first question is 'ee'.

the letters G and H
These two letters rarely sound the same when used in words as they do when they are spelled singularly. 
When spelled out you hear a 'dzj'-sound. But that sound disappears when these letters are used in words.
Good, Hand, Help, Gravy.   
of course there are exceptions... 'genetic' or 'gender' for instance.

Slide 21 - Quizvraag

Q
The Q is a seldom used letter. And it sounds a bit odd.  
In English there are more words with a Q then in Dutch. 
Just as in Dutch the Q is (almost) always followed by the U. Of course there are exceptions but mostly these are 'exotic' words.

Slide 23 - Quizvraag

R
The R is pronounced 'ahr'. As if the letter is stuck in the back of your mouth. For this letter also goes that you never pronounce it when used in words. Except for the gargle (gorgelen) sound. 

Pay attention to where in your mouth the sound of the 'r' is when you say 'word' or 'gargle'.

The W is pronounced as the dobbeljoew.

Questions?

Slide 36 - Tekstslide

Recap step 4
What did we do in step 4?
  • a small recap on the numbers
  • the imperative (gebiedende wijs)
  • present simple vs present continuous
  • telling time 
  • American vs British English

Slide 37 - Tekstslide

First: The Imperative!
  • An imperative is base verb (present simple verb). 

  • Imperatives are direct. Often they are used when we are angry. Or just to be clear. "Write this down!"  "Watch this"

  • Instruction booklets use a lot of imperatives. They are simple, clear and easy to understand.

  • Remember we can't use continuous verbs; only base verbs:​ "Stand up, please" and NOT "Standing up, please."
Nike used the imperative quite famously...

Slide 38 - Tekstslide

 two ways of using the imperative:

Slide 39 - Tekstslide

so: negative auxiliary+base verb(+object)

negatief hulpwerkwoord+hele werkwoord(+voorwerp)
               Don't       close    the door!
Or... as a negative imperative... 

Simply put Do not/don't in front of the base verb.

Slide 40 - Tekstslide

present simple                vs               present continuous 
Habits and routines. 


Facts and general truths. 


To talk about permanent situations in our lives.

Look for signs such as: always, never, ever, often, every -...
Something is happening at the  moment.

               Future plans.


Temporary situations in our lives.

Slide 41 - Tekstslide

present simple                vs               present continuous 
Habits and routines.
