If I'd for just one second you'd be back to bother me,
Oh and now GO! Walk out the door! Just turn around now,
'Cause you're not welcome anymore!
Weren't you the one who to break me with goodbyes,
You think I'd crumble, You think I'd lay down and die?

I know I am still alive.
I got all my life to live, and I got all my love to give,
I will survive, hey, hey!

It all the strength I not to fall apart,


Now I am trying hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart,
I oh so many nights just feeling sorry for myself,
I to cry, but now I hold my head up high,
And you see me, somebody new. I am not that chained up
little person still in love with you, and so you
just like dropping in and just expect me to be free,
Now I am saving all my loving for someone who's loving me
Oh and now GO! Walk out the door! Just turn around now,
'Cause you're not welcome anymore!
Weren't you the one who to break me with goodbyes,
You think I'd crumble, You think I'd lay down and die?
No, not I, I will survive, Oh as long as I know how to love,
I know I am still alive,
I got all my life to live, and I got all my love to give,

NOTE: Is important to know that in second semester students focus in the modal auxiliary verb could in past, but it is not a
bad idea that the students know all this forms of the modal auxiliary verb could. This is only a suggestion if the teacher
consider the use of the modal auxiliary verb could only in the past form, she/he are going to teaching in the correct way
too.

COUNTABLE AND UNCOUNTABLE NOUNS

Countable nouns are for things we can count. They usually have a singular and
plural form.
Example: a dog - two dogs
a horse - ten horses
a man - six men
a shop - the shops
an idea - some ideas

™ We use many to indicate a large number of items, and without counting.


™ We use “too...” to increase the number
™ WE USE “HOW MANY…” to make a question.

There were many cars in my city.


There are many buildings in downtown.
There are many houses for rent.
There are many dogs in the park.
There are too many Chinese restaurants in Mexicali.
There are too many boys at the movies.
How many taco stands are in Mexicali?

™ We use “A FEW” to reduce the number for countable nouns.


There are a few bicycles in the neighborhood
There are a few cats in the park
There are a few Japanese restaurants
There are a few museums

Uncountable nouns are for the things that we cannot count


Example: tea, sugar, water, air, rice, dust.

™ They are used with a singular verb.


™ They usually do not have a plural form.
™ They are often the names for abstract ideas or
qualities.
We can not say: “sugars”, “angers”, “knowledges”
™ We use “too” to increase them

WE USE “HOW MUCH…” to make a question.


How much sugar is there?
How much butter is left?
WE USE “MUCH” TO INCREASE THE NUMBER
There is much traffic in my city
There is much pollution in my city.
There is much public transportation.

72
Continuation….

UNCOUNTABLE NOUNS

™ They are often the names for abstract ideas or qualities. Examples
of common uncountable nouns:
Money Furniture
Happiness Sadness
Research Evidence
Safety Beauty
Knowledge Traffic

™ We cannot use a/an with these nouns. To express a quantity of one


of these nouns, use a word or expression like:

™ Some, a little, a lot of, a piece of, plenty, etc.


Some money a piece of furniture
Some happiness a lot of evidence
A little knowledge

™ Use ANY for questions or negative statements. For both


Countable and Uncountable nouns
Was there any happiness on his face?
Was there any evidence of the crime?
Is there any money left?
Is there any car outside your house?
Are there any complete windows?

NEGATIVE
There isn’t any complete window.
There wasn’t any bread left.
There weren’t any dogs in the park

Introduction

The student will practice in everyday life when is he or she expressing, in a correct way after
study understand the use of; Word order in questions; In The English language there are no
different forms for subjects and objects. To keep subject and object apart however, we have to
stick to the word order.
In questions, the word order subject-verbs-objects is the same as in affirmative sentences. The
only thing that's different is that you usually have to put the auxiliary verb example: (main verb be)
before the subject interrogative are put at the beginning of the sentence.

Grammar Focus

Interrogative W questions

interrogative Auxiliary subject Other Indirect Direct place time


verb verbs object object
what would you Like me
to tell
Did You have A party In your yesterday
hose
When were you Here?

You don’t use an auxiliary verb if you ask for the subject. In this case the interrogative
simply takes the place of the subject.

interrogative Verb (s) object


who asked You?

Jennifer Lopez

Born July 24 1969 Jennifer Lopez, she of the infamous buttocks, is now one of the Bronx’s
biggest exports. Starting her career as a dancer and actress appearing on American TV shows
such as Living Color and Hotel Malibu Jennifer was nominated for a Golden Globe for her first
film role in 1998 comedy Selena.

With a change of name came super stardom as, in 2001, JLo was released, featuring hit singles
Play, Love Don’t Cost A Thing as well as giving birth to remixes of I’m Real and Ain’t
It Funny. JLo’s collaboration with rappers such as Ja Rule gave her a
new audience and credibility outside of the pop world, although
Jenny From the Block, the lead single from her 2002 album This is
Me? Then, saw her rather ridiculed for claiming to be from the
block when she was often seen in the world’s finest hotels
wearing fur coats costing the yearly wage of most of us.

In between failed marriages (to Cris Judd) and


broken engagements (Ben Affleck), getting arrested with
P Diddy (another ex) and appearing in films such as Maid
in Manhattan and The Wedding Planner, Jennifer managed to
turn herself in to a corporation with a range of clothes,
perfumes and a production company to her name. She has also turned her hand to modeling,
most notably appearing in a fabulous campaign for Louis Vuitton.

More recently the one time diva seems to have settled down, dedicating time to her new
husband Marc Antony (the Latino pair married in June 2004) and releasing her latest album
Rebirth which, although a commercial flop, signified a new direction for the singer. Despite this
disappointment it seems that JLo’s success is set to run and run although whether her future
lies in singing, acting or fashion remains to be seen.

After reading JLo’s biography, write down with your own words, what
she used to do in her life.

JLo used to be a dancer. She used to…
