Grammar


*PART 1*


Write a paragraph about something you learned in ESL331 during this summer term, using the questions below as your guide.  Pay attention to the verb tenses in the questions...  Look at the sample paragraph below.
1 - Think of ONE THING that you learned in this class.
2 - When did you learn it?  Think of the SPECIFIC date.

3 - Had you known anything related to that ONE THING before this SPECIFIC date?
4 - How has learning that ONE THING  helped you?
5- How can you use what you learned NOW?


sample paragraph:
Last Thursday, I learned how to make questions in my ESL 331 class.  Before last Thursday, I had never learned how to make questions step by step.  Learning to make questions has been very helpful because since Thursday, I have been able to make a lot of questions with various kinds of sentences without making mistakes.  Now I can communicate with my friends more easily and ask them questions about interesting topics without making mistakes.


 *PART 2*
Make negatives and questions with the following sentences:
You have lost your mind.
She knew the answer.
The parents were surprised.
Tim is going to throw a party.
We are worried.
 He will go to the party.
