Learning goals

• I can write a narrative
• I can decide where the paragraph breaks should be in a narrative;
• I know what time expressions in a narrative are and can use them;

• I can complete phrasal verbs and give the correct meaning;

Phrasal Verbs

Phrasal verbs

Verb + preposition or adverbs

ex: sit down or look up

literal - stand up 

figurative - make up ---> learn  by heart

Put it down (pronoun between verb and preposition)

Put the book down or put down the book - are both possible (object can be at the end or in between the verb and preposition)

Some words can be used as either prepositions or adverbs. If the word has an object, it is acting as a preposition. If it has no object, it is acting as an adverb.

- Sit down (down is an adverb)

- Put it down (down is a preposition)

Student's book (18)

Exercise 1: Read Liam's narrative. What is it about? Choose the best summary.

Exercise 2: Read Liam's paragraph plan. Decide where the paragraph breaks should be in his narrative

Narrative time expressions (page 18)

- We often start a narrative with a non-specific time expression:

     - a few weeks ago, about a month or so ago, one day last summer, one Sunday last year

- To show how a situation changes with time, we use: 

     - at first...., (but) then......

- To talk about an unexpected event, we use: 

      - Suddenly, all of a sudden,

- We use these expressions to move the narrative forward in time:

     - later, a few minutes later, after a while, later on

- To bring the narrative to an end, we use: 

     - in the end.....

- Or emphasize that a lot of time has passed, we use:

    - finally, at last
