Soap opera parody

    A soap opera is a long-running television serial, featuring tons of melodrama and sentimentality. The plots typically rely on emotional turmoil, romance, family feuds, betrayals, and secret identities. The term soap opera stems from the 1930s when daytime radio serials were sponsored by soap and detergent manufacturers.

  The 1st Bachillerato students have parodied this genre by creating their own versions. Click on the pictures below to watch a couple of them:

Who's the father? 

Alberto Cándano, Jorge Macías, Nuria Montoya, Avril Ruano and Daniela Vázquez.

The Three Wishes

Alfonso Fernández, Enol García, Lucía Palomares, Sara Prada and Juan Suárez.

USEFUL PRACTICE OF IRREGULAR VERBS (ALL COURSES)

STUDYING IRREGULAR VERBS is probably one of the issues that causes more trouble. However, you shouldn't complain, verbal tenses in Spanish or French are much more difficult!

Here you have a game that allows you to practise the main verbal forms. You can use it to compete against your classmates and see who gets better results 😉!!

To be able to play, you must know all the verbal forms the game asks you to know:

INFINITIVE: the verb in the first column, for example EAT

SIMPLE PAST FORM: the verb in the second column = ATE

PAST PARTICIPLE: the verb in the third column = EATEN

PRESENT PARTICIPLE: the verb + ING = EATING

PRESENT HE/SHE/IT FORM:

the verb plus the famous third person "-s"  in the present simple tense  = EATS                                                                      

Ready? Steady? Go!!
