Hi
Can you be a bit more specific? There is so much content on the blog that right now I don’t know which one you are referring to!
Hello, I saw an activity to create relative clauses with different pictures….now I can’t find it. Can you help me please ? (it wasn’t taboo)
Thanks
Thanks for your comment Adinda! Once in a while, I check that all the link are working but some of them are from other sites and they just disappear! It is almost impossible for me to check that they are all working! If you want to let me know which ones are not working, I can have a look and either delete them or find new ones to replace them!
Great stuff! I like using the wordart site to make word clouds to use in class.
Some of the links in this overview are not working (some of the exercises)
Thank you. I am happy you find it useful!
wow! Your website is a rich source of English learning materials.
Hi,
Can we found the answers somewhere? For the exercise about conditionals..Thanks
Hi Toshi
Yes, you’re right. Thanks for letting me know.
Best
there is a mistake on link https://www.cristinacabal.com/pre-intermediate/zeroconditional.htm
where
if clause main clause
IF + PRESENT SIMPLE PRESENT SIMPLE
(If I had gone to the party I would have seen you) is not simple present tense
I am glad you find it useful! 🙂
Great job! Thanks for sharing!!
🙂 thanks
i like so much
