MODAL VERBS

The previous class on Friday we do a review of the modal verbs and we wrote in team an imaginary story with the regret or end of the story ´If only I had not boarded that bus´.

My team was integrated with Berenice and Jessica, and our story was:

Finished wrote our story one person of our team read and needed remember all stories, but we lost.

In that exercise, we committed a grammar mistake with one phrase of reported speech.

We wrote the phrase in past but the correct time was past participle.

Another Modal verbs are:
Can could, may might, will would, must shall, should and ought to.

And that indicated:
ability, obligation and advice, permission, habits and past modals.

LOANWORDS

The latest class we learn the concept of loanwords and we research in teams some loanwords and their origins.

In my team, we found the following loanwords:

LOANWORDS	ORIGIN
zombie	african
ketchup	chinesse
garbage	french
lychee	chinesse
umbrella	itilian ombrello
lasagne	italian
vodka	russian
paparazzi	italian/plural
taekwondo	korean
hurricane	spanish
tourist	spanish
tornado	spanish
karate	korean

It is interesting known the origin of the words and it was useful for the reading task and for our vocabulary.

I never imagine that we use in our language words of african origins.
