today we started a new sequence about super heroes. Before we read a text about Superman, we made a list of common points between all super heroes and here is what we said:
- They fight against villains / evil. - They have super powers or use gadgets. - They wear costumesin order tohide their real identities. - They pledge to champion truth and justice. - They do justice instead of the police. / They help the police to do justice.
Then, thanks to the text with the missing words, we talked about the methods to understand words that don't make sense at first and we found the meaning of the following words with the context and with their structures:
- doomed: destin fatal - elderly: agé - awesome: extraordinaire - outrun: dépasser en courant - leap: sauter - bend steel: tordre de l'acier - mild-mannered reporter: journaliste ordinaire (aux manières ordinaires) - unsuspecting: crédule (qui n'a pas de soupçon) - pledge to champion truth and justice: jurer de faire régner la vérité et la justice
Rappel: l'auxiliaire modal "CAN" sert à exprimer la capacité. On l'utilise comme suit: - Superman can bend steel in his bear hands. - He can outrun a speeding locomotive. - He can leap from building to building.
<br />
Superman can outrun speeding locomotives. }<br />
leap tall building. }<br />
bend steel in his bare hands.} Abilities<br />
cast fire balls. }<br />
Grammaire: Attention Can ne peut s'utiliser qu'au présent et jamais après "to"<br />
si autre temps: (be)able to.<br />
ex: I wasn't able to take the bus.<br />
They weren't able to take the bus.<br />
<br />
Futur: I will not be able to go to the cinema with you.<br />
