Dear Students:
Welcome to our new blog!! Due to conection problems with the previous wiki, I have opened a new one. I hope you like the design. Let's start working:
In Module 12 you have studied modal verbs. Modal auxiliary verbs may sound difficult but in fact they're easy. They are invariable (no conjugation), and the main verb is always the "bare infinitive" (the infinitive without "to").
I will offer you some online interactive grammar exercises to revise them. First, you can read the explanation of the use of that modal verb and then, do the practise.
1- Can have / Could have
2- Should have
3- Would have in Third Conditional Sentences

You have also studied expressions using the verb THINK. Please, revise the expressions you studied on page 125 of your book. Here is a link with more expressions to study: http://www.carolinebrownenglishlessons.com/thinkphrasals/menu.php
At the botton of that window, you will find three exercises to check what you remember.
4- Soap Operas: Why are Argentine “ novelas” , Mexican “culebrones” called soap operas in English? Read in Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soap_opera
