The Surprise Party - Præpositioner

Manuscript:

Everybody: SURPRISE !!!!!!!!!!!!

Amalie: OH MY GOD! I got so surprised. But I thought you were angry with me?

Nadja: NO, it is so typical of you!

Signe: Do not be rude to her, it is her birthday

Liselotte: Smile at the photographer :D

Amalie: I am so happy about this party


Amalie, Ann-Sofie (cameraman), Signe, Liselotte og Nadja 2d

Wife beating, præpositioner

I am married to John, he is cruel to me. I am so frightened of him. He is not very friendly with me and I want to prevent myself from danger. He often shouts at me and he is very jealous. It is typical for me to just accept it. I am not very cleaver at relationships. This marriage depends on how bad he is at suprising me.

Revitalizing the Blog :-)

Our cool grammar class blog is now just a class blog! We will use it for a variety of exercises and topics in our English classes starting with Expressions with Prepositions - those little words like in, on, of , to, by, with, for, at, from etc. which can cause you so much trouble when you write.

Or as a Danish university student stated in his thesis in 1919:

"Spørger en Engelsklærer sine Elever om, hvilken Side ved dette Sprog der i Længden bereder dem størst Bryderi, skal det næppe fejle, at de med een Mund vil svare: Præpositionerne!"

Placing Different Adverbs in Sentences - Today's lesson

The purposse of today's lesson was to learn to place the different types of adverbs correctly in sentences.

The students made the sentences themselves (from words which I had cut out beforehand) and then placed a selection of adverbs in those sentences. The posts below are the results of today's group work.

Placing adverbs

We made sentences with different words, and afterwards we put 7 adverbs into the sentences

Fido looked nervously for her purse
- mådesadverbiet placeres efter hovedverbet
Susan never enters the last train
- et småadverbie placeres imellem grundled og udsagnsled
Gunther loves very tasty strawberries
- gradsadverbie fordi adverbiet placeres før adjektivet som ligger sig til navneordet
I almost caught Rachel
- et småadverbie placeres imellem grundled og udsagnsled
The Startrek movies are not my favourite
- mådesadverbie placere efter hovedverbet
We will go home tomorrow
- tidsadverbie placeres tilsidst i sætningen
His dog is always home
- mådesadverbie placeres efter hovedverbet

With miscellaneous love

Emilie, Katty H and Molly

Adverbial regler – Bjarke, Freddy, Ida, Anne Marie, Sebastian og Amalie

“Tomorrow Rachel is awake at 7 p.m.”
Tidsadverbier placeres først eller sidst i sætningen

“Günther the Hungarien talks fast”
Mådesadverbier placeres efter hovedverbet

“I look for fido the dog everywhere in this race”
Stedsadverbier placeres efter verbet

“He will go home nervously due to the finan. Crisis”
Mådesadverbier placeres efter hovedverbet

“Susan loves immensely tasty strawberries every evening”
Mådesadverbier placeres efter hovedverbet

Længere adverbielle udtryk placeres først eller sidst i sætningen

Fido is not my favorite dog. Småadverbium, er placeret efter udsagnsledet som er en form af TO BE.

In this race we caught the last train home. Længere adverbial udtryk, placeres først eller sidst I sætningen.

Susan will usually go home when her purse talks. Smaadverbuim, placeres efter hjælpeudsagsord I sammemsatte tider.

Günther never enters the room. Småadverbium, placers mellem grundled og udsagnsled.

Rachel loves star trek every evening. Tidsadverbium, placers enten først eller sidst I sætningen.

Strawberries are always tasty food. Gradsadverbium, placeres lige før det ord (adj eller adv) de fortæller om.

Mette, Tea, Tenna, Signe.

Gruppe E - adverbiers placering

Simple tense vs. Progressive tense - Group Work

"Kelly The Silent Girl"


Mads, Ida, Tea, Mette and Tenna created this cartoon.

Sang med udvidet tid

Signe, Liselotte, Lonne, Ann-Sofie and Nadja also created this cartoon.

Vi har valgt Tom's Diner, fordi den har mange sætninger skrevet i udvidet tid. Vi lægger kun de første fire vers ind, da den er ret lang.

I am sitting
in the morning
at the diner
on the corner

I am waiting
at the counter
for the man
to pour the coffee

and he fills it
only halfway
and before
I even argue

he is looking
out the window
at somebody
coming in

Video About the Progressive Tense - Post-sync! :-)

Sebastian, Christian and Bjarke (in the background dubbing..) created this mini video about the Progressive Tense.

Simple tense vs. Progressive tense - Group Work

Two groups using their artistic intelligence to create cartoons illustrating the difference between the simple and the progressive tense.


Anne Marie, Emilie, Katrine O and Mie working on their cartoon.

Daniel, Tue, Dennis, Frederik and Morten working on the cartoon you can see above.

Udvidet tid og simpel tid - Tegneserie

Gustav, Katrine H, Molly and Line working on their cartoon.

Today we made comics in the class.

This is ours!

(:

Udvidet nutid = (Be) Am/is/are + ing

Udvidet datid = (Be) Was/were + ing

Udvidet før nutid = (Be) Has/have + been + ing

Udvidet før datid = (Be) Had + been + ing

Udvidet fremtid = Will + be + ing

Datid med modalverbe.
Modalverberne er: COULD – MIGHT – MUST / HAVE TO – WOULD – SHOULD – OUGHT TO

Et eksempel : Jimmy should be in bed by now.

Hovedverbet skal være infinitiv.

Hilsen Mie, Daniel og Frederik.

The Simple Tense vs. The Progressive Tense - Now on Youtube!

Who says grammar can't be fun? Well, that grammar can indeed be fun is excactly what we are trying to prove with this class blog.

Today's grammatical topic is the simple versus the progressive tense and we will work with five different ways of learning or five different types of intelligence if you like. These are:

The mathematical / logical intelligence
The artistic / creative intelligence (pictures / drawing)
The linguistic intelligence (language)
The artistic intelligence (music)
The bodily intelligence (movement)

Furthermore, we will use youtube to educate us about grammar. Check out these very educational AND fun videos where the Road Runner, Coyote, and The Simpsons help us out:

Have fun!

Idags lektion.

Idag lærte ved noget om datid, nutid osv.. Vi havde et lille løb. Vi var to hold, og vi skulle finde ud af hvilken tid sætningen, vi fik læst op, var i.
Desværre vandt hold 1. (:

Men idag var meget sjov og lærig.
- værsgo at skrive jeres indlæg. :p

Our Lesson on Helping verbs in English - With Pictures! :-)

Thanks a lot to our "bridge building" camera team, Tea and Helle, for providing the pictures :-)

Identify the verbal tense in the sentence read aloud.. and run for it!!

Putting up sheets of paper with different verbal tenses

Mette and Frederik racing for the finish line! Who's the first to pick out the correct tense?

Udvidet tid

Udvidet tid består af et hjælpeverbum (to be) og et hovedverbum (lang tillægsform: "-ing").
Her er to ret gode eksempler:
Katrine, Gustav, Anne M and Molly is studying very hard.
The students was the best in class.

Our best regards


Gustav, Katrine H, Anne M and Molly!

Passiv:

Det er BE det er hjælpeverbum som skal efterfølges af hovedverbum i kort tillægsform.
He is run over by a car - To BE run over.
He was killed by a dog - To BE killed.

Nutid m. modalverbum

Nutid m. modalverbum bliver dannet af et hjælpeverbum, enten; can, may, must, will, shall, ought to + infinitiv

F.eks.; I will come home soon
Will er hjælpeverbummet, der KUN kan bøjes i nutid og datid og come er infinitiv.

Signe, Ann-Sofie, Liselotte og Lonne

Før Datid

Før datid dannes ved hjælp af hjælpe verbummet "To have" plus at hoved verbummet skal være i kort tillægsform eksempel vis: "He had run yesterday"

DO-omskrivning

Dette laves ved hjælp af et hjælpeverbum og et hovedverbum.

Hjælpeverbumet er en form af Do, som f.eks. do, does og did. Udsagnsordet bliver bøjet afhængig af tiden.
Når dette udsagsnord står der, skal hovedverbumet stå i infinitiv, hvilket vil sige "at form", som kunne være. "to work".

He does not play music because he like it, but because he have to.

They did get their money back.

Før Nutid

Før nutid af Amalie, Bjarke og Nadja

Man danner før nutid ved at sætte et hjælpeverbum foran (to have i nutid) hovedverbummet. Hovedverbummet skal være i kort tillægsform.

Eks.

I have been in Germany

He has done something wrong

Pictures from our Lesson on Concord

The students are tested in concord in a game where post-its
mark their identities as e.g. "My brother", "News", "People".

Playing the Concord Memory Came in class. The students have to pair

subjekt and verballed correctly.

Evaluating our lesson

So what did you think of today's lesson?
The topic was concord / kongruens.

More from our Syntacs Lesson - Now with Buzz Word Hat

Analyzing the sentence "It was a special type because Malia is allergic to dogs"
Note the "Buzz Word Hat" on Nadja's head! What's up with her word "was"?



The "Buzz Word Hat" (here beautifylly displayed by Ida) designed to mark special verbs which influence the sentence structure.

Rules:

1. Forms of TO GIVE, TO SEND, TO SHOW, TO LEND, TO TELL often take two objects, direct and indirect object (direkte og indirekte objekt)

E.g. They showed me (indirect object) their new car (direct object)

E.g. The bank lend Peter (indirect object) some money (direct object)

2. Forms of TO MAKE, TO CALL, TO REGARD, TO ELECT, TO CONSIDER, TO SEE often take object predicate (objektsprædikat)

E.g. The other children called her (direct object) stupid (object predicate)

E.g. We regarded him (direct object) as the greatest actor of his time (object predicate)

3. Forms of TO BE, TO SEEM, TO APPEAR, TO LOOK, TO SOUND, TO FEEL, TO SMELL, TO TASTE, TO BECOME, TO GET often take subject predicate (subjectsprædikat)

E.g. The weather is horrible (subject predicate)

E.g. The pizza smells good (subject predicate)

Syntacs Lesson

Pictures from our lesson on syntacs. Analyzing sentences morphologically and syntacically.

Here 1dEN is analyzing the sentence "Ted Kennedy gave Obama's two daughters a black dog yesterday."

Note the "Buzz Word Hat" on Ida's head.. What's up with the word "gave"?

We like hat! - By amalie and bjarke

Oh the hat,
how we love that,
We analyzed words,
because we're nerds!

Tadaaah!

Love it

This was so cool!

Adverbier / biord

Ja Hvor skal vi begynde. Vi har at gøre med adverbier.
Adverbier lægger sig til

Verber
Adjektiver
Andre Adverbier
Og hele sætninger.

Desuden har Adverbier ofte, men ikke altid tid ly endelser.

Eksempel på en sætning med et Adverbie. Det er mærkeret med fed.

Frederik is very bad at shawing.


Skrevet af Mads, Sebastian, Morten, Daniel og Frederik

Konjunktioner:
• Binde ord sammen
• Binde sætninger sammen
• Binde udtryk sammen

- De mest almindelige konjunktioner er:
and, or, but, either, nor, neither, when, where, if, however, even though, because, nontheless, for, yet, so,

Sætnings eksempel:
If we are going to the beach because of you then neither of us want to go.

Vejledning til verber

Verber

'Actions words' der kan beskrive handlinger men også tilstande uden bevægelse.

Man kan sætte at og jeg foran på engelsk to og I.

Her er en sætning med et 'action word'- verbum:
He runs.

Her er en sætning med både verbum og hjælpeverbum.
He can run.

Alt vi gør på denne jord kalder vi for udsagnsord. = Verbum

Hilsen fra Tea, Ann-Sofie, Signe og Tenna :)

Amalie, Freddie og Bjarkes übercool præpositioner

Hej gutter, nu skal i høre lidt om præpositioner..
Præpositioner er små herlige ord, der fortæller noget om tings placering (f.eks "on top of", "next to" osv). De kan også bruges til at binde ord sammen! Er det ikke smart? F.eks "going TO bed" "shooting someone IN the head" osv osv..

Brug bolden - tænk på kassen!


Her er en kasse med nogle præpositioner:



Eksempel, på sætning med præpositioner:
"the keys were under the table, but the man looked in the drawer..."

Pronominer (stedord) Anne Marie & Gustav

Der findes mange former for pronomier (stedord)
Pronominer kan bruges til at erstatte eller stå i stedet for, i stedet for at bruge egenavne kan man fx bruge he, she , they, those -> dette er pronomier.
Harald Kingston Hanson and Cathrine Johnson went for a walk -> They went for a walk
Pronominer kan også erstatte navneord
fx. The dog was very mad at the owner -> It was very mad at him
Der findes også spørgende og henførende pronominer som who, which, that, whom, whose.

Adjektiver/Tillægsord

Adjektiver beskriver navneord. Her er et eksempel: It is a big flower
Her er et andet godt eksempel: Katrine H, Katrine O, Mie S and Molly are very pretty

Regelmæssige adjektiver kan bøjes i tre former, fx. stor - større - størst.
Ved uregelmæssige adjektiver ændres det: gammel - ældre - ældst.

Substantiver

- Kan sætte en artikel foran
- Alt hvad man ser
- Personer, steder, ting og ideer (freedom, kindness, love)
- Generelle begreber som flaske, kop, mor
- Egenavn: Svendborg

Love is like the wind
