Test Preparation – 6th grade

In this article, we are going to practice the use of Present Simple, Present Continuous and Past Simple. Also, you will have a chance to do some exercises dealing with the structure was/were supposed to, invitations, Will for prediction, offering help, immediate decision.

These exercises will be your HOMEWORK for 4 December so you make sure you do them. Should you have any questions, you can contact me on the Internet, of course.

So let’s rock’n’roll!

Present Simple and Present Continuous.

Just let me remind you that we use Present Simple for actions that repeat regularly, for scientific facts and something that is always true. On the other hand, we use Present Continuous for actions happening now or around now. For more information on the topic go to:

http://wp.me/p2hI6T-i6

http://monikateachingenglish.wordpress.com/2012/09/13/present-simple-and-continuous/

This structure shows what other people expected you to do.

Will (predictions, immediate decisions, offers) and be going to

You know that we use WILL and WON’T for making predictions (predviđanja), immediate decisions (odluke koje donosimo u trenutku i o kojima prethodno nismo razmišljali)  as well as offers (kada nekome nudimo našu pomoć).

IV Make predictions about the future. What do you think will or won’t happen?

2. „We don’t have any aspirin in the house so I _________ get some from the chemistry.“
3. „Why are you putting on your coat?“  „I __________ go for a walk.
