Semana 6 : Present Continuos
Present Continuous
The present continuous tense, also known as the present progressive tense in some grammar books, is one of the most often used tenses in English. It is also one of the tenses that English learners use incorrectly. It is important to remember that the present continuous tense is generally used to express something happening at the moment of speaking.
Future plans and arrangements.
We're having leftovers this evening.
What are you doing tomorrow afternoon?
She isn't coming on Friday.
Common present continuous time expressions include:
at the moment, now, today, this week, this month, tomorrow, next week (for future arrangements ), currently

Semana 5: Can - Can't
We use 'can' to talk about 'possibility'.
•Can you do that?
•I can't manage to do that.
•You can leave your car in that parking space.
•You cannot smoke in here.
Notice that there are two negative forms: 'can't' and 'cannot'. These mean exactly the same thing. When we are speaking, we usually say 'can't'.
We use 'can' to talk about 'ability'.
•I can speak French.
•I can't drive.
Semana 4: count nouns and Non count nouns
Count nouns are nouns you can count. They exist as individual units, and they can be cut into parts. Some examples of count nouns include tree, house, boy, girl, country, city, idea, etc.
Count nouns can be pluralized. We can have three trees, two girls, or many ideas. It is possible to use the articles a and an with count nouns, when there is only one of them. For example, "I met a cute boy today," or, "That's an interesting idea."
Noncount nouns are nouns that can’t be counted or broken into parts. These nouns cannot be pluralized. They have no plural form. Liquids such as coffee or water, abstractions such as love or peace, and collective nouns such as furniture or luggage are all examples of noncount nouns.
Noncount nouns cannot be used with the articles a or an. To show the quantity of a noncount noun, we use expressions like some, much, less, a lot of, a little of, etc. For example, "I have a lot of furniture in my house," or, "This guidebook doesn't include much information about French culture." With noncount nouns, we cannot use the expressions "a few," "many," "both," "several," "one of," or "a couple of."
Semana 3 : This, These , That and Those
Estos adjetivos concuerdan en número, ya sea en singular o en plural, con el sustantivo al que acompañan, mientras que en género no existen diferencias entre masculino y femenino:
This flower is beautiful.
This car is dirty.
That house is expensive.
That dog is bad.
These apples are cheap.
These pencils are in the box.
Those stars are in the sky.
hose boys are my friends.
Semana 2: a,an,some and any
the Use of a or an
•a = indefinite article (not a specific object, one of a number of the same objects) with consonants
She has a dog.
I work in a factory.
•an = indefinite article (not a specific object, one of a number of the same objects) with vowels (a,e,i,o,u)
Can I have an apple?
She is an English teacher
Some and Any
We use "some" in positive sentences. We use some for both countable and uncountable nouns.Example: I have some friends.
Any
We use "any" in negative sentences or questions. We use any for both countable and uncountable nouns.Example: Do you have any cheese? - He doesn't have any friends in Lima.
We use "any" in negative sentences or questions. We use any for both countable and uncountable nouns.Example: Do you have any cheese? - He doesn't have any friends in Chicago.
Semana 1 : Wh questions words
WH questions ask for information. They are different than
Yes/No questions.
There are 6 different WH question words:

WH Questions with "do"
