 Okay, so good afternoon everybody, how are you? Fine, thank you. The first thing I would like to do is I would like you to work in groups of two and groups of three and I would like you to talk to each other about what you did during the weekend, okay? So, let's see, two minutes, okay? You can talk about what you did during the weekend. Ah, yes, I know. I was to ask the director. Yes. Usually, the actresses play in film. I haven't worked in a movie before. No? You didn't work in a movie? No. No? Saturday I went to my sister's house in the morning. I went down to my sister's house. The pair are the two. The one from the other side. I went to my sister's house. At the end of the day, I had to play with the children. At the end of the day, I had to walk. Okay, let's hear some people. Carlos, tell all of us what you did during the weekend, please. Saturday morning, we had lunch in a restaurant with my children, my wife. In the afternoon, we went to a birthday friend of my son. Can you tell us what you did? He went with his daughter to write for us on Saturday. And yesterday, he had to work yesterday on a hard day. Okay, thank you. Okay, and Jose, can you tell us what Cristina did, please? It was a very special weekend. Because on December, it was her birthday. So, here, his wife, his husband, went to El Gorellada to ask for help. Okay, very good. Okay, thank you. And Silvia, can you tell us what Carlota did, please? She did a lot of things. She showed us football. Okay, and finally, Carlota, can you tell us what Silvia did, please? She did it on Saturday, and on Sunday, and Wednesday, and half. Okay, thank you very much. Okay, now we're going to play a game. A game which is called Alphabet Relay. And in this game, I'm going to name a category, okay? And then each of you will have to say a word starting with each letter of the alphabet, which belongs to that category. I will give an example, okay? So, for example, imagine I say, okay. So, the first round is going to be things you can eat, for example. So, I say, Cristina, what would you say, starting with an A, something you can eat? And then you will say something with B, okay? And then Carlos will say something with C and so on, okay? So, let's see how many we can do, and you have a little bit of pressure, because you have eight seconds to think of a word, okay? So, let's see. The first round is going to be verbs starting with A, Cristina. Answer. Answer, okay? Starting with B, Carlos. Believe, very good. Carlos, with C. Very good. Silvia, with D. And Carlotta, with E. Ern. Cristina, with D. Oh, with F, sorry, with F. Fill. Fill with G. Give with H, okay? And with I. Four seconds. Two, one. Time's up. Okay, but it was good. It was a good round, okay? We did many. Can any of you think of a verb with I? I don't know. I don't know, for example. Exactly. Now I understand, before I didn't understand. Okay, now the next round is going to be adjectives, okay? Starting with A. Awful. Awful. B. Beautiful. Beautiful with C. Colorful with D. Dangerous with E. Enormous, very good. With F. Fat with G. Giant, very good. Carlos with H. High with I. Illusionated with... And Carlotta with J. Horrible, very good. Okay, all right, so let's do one last round. The last round will be about nouns. Nouns, okay? With A. Apple with B. We need table. What's the power? Let's do this with B, okay? Yeah. Okay, well, but very, you see? And this way we are able to remember some of the vocabulary that we already know, okay? Yes. Okay? And now, what are we going to focus on? What can like be apart from a verb? Apart from the verb to like. What can this be? So, like can be a verb on the one hand, right? Which other type of word can it be? Preposition. Now, a preposition. Yes. Okay? Like. This can be a preposition. What can this mean? What is the meaning of like when we use it as a preposition? Can any of you think of it? So, when you say, what do you mean? Like it's like similar to something. Okay, so it's similar. Exactly. So, we'll say similar to. Can you think of an example in which we use like in this context as a preposition, meaning similar to? What's that? Exactly. So, this house is very big like this other house. So, it's similar to. Okay? And what would have... What's the difference? Ah, we will get to that later. Later, we will focus on the difference between like and ask, okay? Okay. Don't do that in front of us. So, we would have... Then we would have questions which adopt this structure. What, like? In this case... Well, first, can you think of a sentence? Before we think of a sentence, in which context would we ask a question with this structure? Exactly. Yes. We want a description, something, somebody, right? So, basically, we are looking when we ask these type of questions we are looking for a description of somebody, something, or even a place also, or somewhere as well, okay? Can you think of an example? A question in which we use like with this structure over here. Sorry? No, because in this case, you are not asking for a description of a place or of a thing. What... For example, what is your car like? What is Paris like? Also, you say you have been to Paris. What is Paris like? What does it look like? What does it look like? Okay. Like can also mean... Can you think of another way in which we can use what would be a synonym of like? What would be the equivalent of like in another context, in a different context? For example. For example. So, like can mean for example. For example, or such as. Such as, okay? So, these, basically, are the same as like. Okay? Can any of you think of a sentence in which you would use like in this context? No, because in this case, we would be in the first situation. Now, we're saying... We're using like as another way of saying for example or such as. Jose? I eat many kind of vegetables like onions, carrots, and so on. In this case, we're using like as for example or such as. Okay? Very good. Another structure in which we use preposition preposition like. We could say. Now, so here, we are using feel like plus the verb, plus ing. Silvia, when do you think we would use this structure? Jose? No? Carlos? When you are talking about something you want to do. When you are talking about something you want to do. If I have another. I'm talking about something you want to do. Cristina, can you think of an example, please? But in this case, you're not using this structure. So you say you like it playing football? Okay, that's fine. But how would we start this sentence? Yes, exactly. You're talking about something. She is talking about something that she wants to do. Okay? You understand, Jose? Yes. Exactly. Exactly. Exactly. Basically, it means the same. Okay? And finally, to finish with like, with preposition like, we would have, okay, then we would have seen or sound or look like plus the object. Okay? When do you think we would use this structure? No, not exactly. Would you like me to open the door? Yes, perhaps. To get some air in here. No, maybe too much noise. Catalotta, can you think of when we would use? So basically what we are doing with this is we are introducing a subject that we are not completely sure about. We are doing, we are talking about an idea, we are talking about an idea that we are not completely sure about. Okay, so here to talk about an idea we are not completely sure about. Can any of you think of an example here? Most. Exactly. That would be an example. Something else we, another thing we could say would be it looks like it's going to rain. There are clouds, many clouds in the sky. It looks like it's going to rain. My best friend hasn't come to class. He seems like, or for example, let's see, Carlos, can you try to think of an example with seems like? No? I'm trying to think about the idea. Maybe you are trying to translate it literally into Spanish, right? Yes. It seems like it's going to be a nice day. It seems like it's going to be a, yeah, seems and looks are very similar. They are very similar, okay? It seems like it's going to be a nice day. The difficulty is the idea, because I think it's easier with the, with the idea that I think it sounds like a strange, for example, this is a pity. I don't understand this part. You don't understand it. Let's see, imagine you are talking, imagine you are talking to a friend and he's describing a terrible situation that he has at home, okay? He's describing a terrible situation that he has at home. And when he finishes telling you his story, you say, oh, it sounds, it sounds like you are very unhappy. It sounds like you are very unhappy. Judging by the things you have told me, it sounds like you are very unhappy. No, yeah, it is. So we will just say, so in this case, you are unhappy. The whole thing would be the object of the sentence. Okay? Like would be the preposition followed by the object. An object to me, Yeah, it's because I was thinking about a noun. Yeah, no. For example, it sounds like a car. Oh, that sounds like a horse. Oh, that sounds like a, no, it's a different kind of, it's a different kind of object. It would also be correct. It's also correct. But in this case, the structure we are using here is more complex and the object is formed by more words. The idea, exactly. Okay, this, when talking about like, preposition like, okay? And then we would have, if we focus on us, we know what this is, right? Which kind of word this is, Carlos? Similar to right. But if we have to classify this word, which type of word would it be? Is it an adjective? Is it a verb? How do we call this type of words? Preposition, preposition, okay? And when do we use as, as a preposition? Before we would use it, we would use it before a job, before a role, okay? We use this before a job, or, so basically we're using as, as a preposition, before the name of a job, or to describe the purpose of something. For example, when would we use as before a job? What is your job? What is your job, Jose? So what would the complete sentence be? I work as a teacher. For example, I work as a teacher, I work as a fireman, and how would we use as to describe the purpose of something? You know what purpose is? The purpose of something is what that something is for. How you can use something. For example, the purpose of a hammer is to fix things, for example. You know what a hammer is, right? So how can we use as to describe the purpose of something? For example, let's see. We could say, imagine you take, imagine you don't have a carpet at home. You know what a carpet is? Okay, so imagine you have a carpet at home. Imagine you don't have a carpet at home, but you need something on the floor. So you say, okay, I don't have a carpet, but I'm going to take a blanket, and I'm going to use the blanket as a carpet. You see? Okay. No, Jose? No? Can you use your pen as an arrow? You know what an arrow is? So if you go like this with your pen, you're using your pen as an arrow. That's the purpose. That's what you are using the pen for. Of course, you can also use the pen as a writing tool, which is what it's meant to be, you know? Okay? All right? Okay, so ask can be a preposition, but it can also be a conjunction. It can also be a conjunction. When as is used as a conjunction, what is it followed by? What would be the structure? Later we will take a look at this with exercises and we will do an activity so you can see it in practice. So it would be followed by the subject plus the verb. It would be followed by a subject plus the verb. How? Can you think of a sentence in which we use as followed by a subject plus a verb? No, no. What you're doing is you're using as plus an adjective. Okay? In this case it's there. For example, as I was telling you, as I was telling you five minutes ago, you see Jose, you see? As I was telling you, I didn't arrive home in time as I was planning to. Okay, so now what we are going to do is we're going to put these ideas into practice, but before we do this very quickly, there are two last structures I would like to mention, which are as if and as though. As if and as though. Which kind of words are these? No, you have never heard this before? As though. You haven't heard either Carlotta? No, it's as if and as though. Both of these are the same, exactly the same. You can use either one or the other. As if and as though are going to be followed by a subject and a verb. And basically what we are going to do here is we're going to refer to something that is either likely or unlikely to happen. Okay? For example, imagine I tell you, can any of you think of an example using as if? No? Okay, well maybe what we are going to do, before beginning this structure, which you are not familiar with, we're going to just focus on like and as. For now we're just going to stop right here. We will focus on as if and as though some other day. So right now what we are going to do, what we are going to do is just some exercises related to as and like. Okay? The activities we are going to do are as follows. Imagine if it wasn't exactly as if it was an umbrella. Exactly. But right now I think I prefer to just focus on the previous things. So imagine we take this sentence. It's raining again. I hate weather as this. Now do you think this sentence is correct? Or do you think there is a mistake in there? Yes. Okay? And if we have to, so in this case as you can see, they are using preposition as. Do you think they are using it correctly? Or do you think it's a mistake? So the mistake is either... It's a mistake. It's with like. It's with like, exactly. So instead of as, we have to be like. Okay? So this is basically the exercise we are going to do in which you are going to have sentences, okay? You are going to have sentences and you are going to have to decide if the sentences are correct or if there are any mistakes, okay? And if there are mistakes, please correct them, okay? So we'll have you do this in pairs, okay? In pairs. Maybe if you want I can... Yeah, yeah, come here. I will change the camera. Okay, so we have... So you can please do this in pairs and in a group of three, okay? And then we will correct it, right? Oh, yes, sorry. Oh, no, don't worry. I checked, the clock can be seen, no problem. No problem. Yes, yes. Why? Yeah, only the first, please. Okay, so I will check the first one, please. Okay, Sylvia, can you read the first one, please? Very good. Jose, please. You think it's correct? Does everybody think it's correct? Why are we using preposition as there? Carlos, why have you decided to use preposition as? It's like, right? Okay, so it's like... Carlos, yes? You don't understand? No. What do you not understand? No, it's a problem. This is a problem. It's because it sounds for me, as I can understand people. Yeah, when you're... If you want to refer to somebody who's similar to somebody you have to use preposition like, okay? Not as. It's incorrect. You only use as before a job and when you refer to... when you want to talk about the use, you give to something. So you cannot use as there. Okay? It has no sense. Okay, Cristina, can you do the next one, please? No. Yeah, sorry, it's correct, exactly. It's correct, yes, yes. Carlos, can you do the next one, please? A small part of his friend. Like. Exactly. Exactly, Carlos, do the next one, please? It's okay. It's like talking to the wall. Okay? Silvia, can you do the next one, please? Number eight. It's correct, very good. Let's do... as the shyness. It's very good. Exactly, it's correct, very good. Jose, Cristina, the next one, please? It is correct. Yes. Carlos, the next one, please? Suddenly, there was a terrific noise. It was as a bomb exploding within this... It's incorrect. It was like a bomb exploding. Exactly, it was like a bomb exploding. And can you do the last one, Carlos, that, please? It's incorrect. Very good. What do you need to do for homework the other two activities from this photo copy? So if you can finish at home for homework, the photo copy, okay? Only the one you have on that side, not on the other side, okay? Only the one you have there, on that side. No, but I mean you have two sides. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, now I understand. Sorry, yeah, so here you go. Okay. I don't have a photo copy, but I'll give it to you later, okay? What book do you use, please? This is from the English grammar... from the English grammar book, okay? Oxford Grammar, Oxford Grammar. So now the last activity we are going to do... Okay. Now in this activity, what we are going to do is... we're going to do a... a survey. Do you know what a survey is? Hey, Carlota, can you try to explain José Guia's survey, yes? Okay, so basically... so basically what you are... what you are going to do is you're going to stand up, walk around class, and you're going to find someone who... has... who fits into these different categories, okay? So you're going to have to... let's see, over here... over here... over here with one more for Silvia. So you're going to have to... you're going to find someone in class who, for example, thinks that traveling to America is... going back in time because of the time difference. So you're going to have to... fill out the spaces. Now if you'll just let me over here a second, Silvia, I'm going to erase some of the ones over here... like this... like this, okay? So except for the ones that I have erased, I would like you to stand up and ask people questions, ask people questions... and... using this information. So for example, if we take the first one, and... find someone who thinks that traveling to America is... which preposition will we use there? Like, exactly, okay? It's like going back in time because of the time difference. We only use... listen, we only use as... before a job or to indicate the use of something. If not, we use like, okay? Don't confuse as with like. We're not the same, okay? If you have any questions, please ask me, okay? So now whenever you want, you can stand up and find people who fit into these different categories. For example, how would we ask the... number two, find someone who works as a fireman, okay? Okay, so can I ask you to please stand up and start like asking different people these questions to see if you can find... for example, I would ask Carlos. Carlos, do you work as a fireman or journalist or teacher? Okay. Exactly. So you have to ask people to see if they can fit into this category, okay? Or a... Sylvia, do you think that traveling to America is like going back in time because of the time difference? And she will answer yes? Yes. Or no? Okay. Okay. So whenever you want, you can stand up and we can begin. You don't understand Carlos? Let's see. You have to find people who fit into one of these categories. So for example, I would ask you, Carlos, do you think that traveling to America is like going back in time because of the time difference? Yes or no? You have to describe when you say knows what the old mother looks like. I have to describe. No, no, no. You have to find someone who knows this. So you would have to ask Cristina, Cristina do you know what the old part of Madrid looks like? And she would answer yes or no? Or for example, I would ask you Jose, have you ever felt like swimming with dolphins? And you would say yes or no? Because I have to find someone who fits into one of these categories. Cristina, have you have you ever eaten like Chinese or Indian? Yes. Very good. Very good, yes. That's how we do it, very good. I know with me, I know what the old part of Madrid looks like. I like very much. Have you have you have you have you had have you had ever felt like having had you have you had have you had an accident and a life and which one? Of course. And life as he was going as you were going a conjunction, exactly a conjunction, as I was going to work, as I was going to work I had an accident, it happened while you were going to work equivalent of while, at the time that you were doing it, okay? Have you had an accident as you were going to work? Which one? I don't know What's your question? What the question means? You don't know how to make a question? What does the old part of Madrid look like? What does it look like? Is it big? Is it small? What does it look like? The physical appearance of the city. What does Carlos look like? He looks like a nice guy. And you? He looks like a strong person. What does he look like? Streaming with nothing. Sorry. Has anyone found somebody who has eaten exotic food? Like Chinese or Indian? Carlota. Carlota? Okay. Has anyone found someone who works as a fireman? No. A teacher. A teacher? Where? There are two of us. Has anyone found someone who once had an accident while he or she was going to work? Yes. You have found Carlota? You have found Silvia? Okay. And Jose? Okay, so now let me check because I think it's time. One second. Okay, so now I'm going to say goodbye, so I'm going to... One second. So I am Ivan. This has been lesson three.
