Games for Learning English, Vocabulary, Grammar Games, Activities, ESL Home - World Stories Who and whom “Who” and “whoever” are subjective pronouns; “whom” and “whomever” are in the objective case. That simply means that “who” (and the same for “whoever”) is always subject to a verb, and that “whom” (and the same for “whomever”) is always working as an object in a sentence. As simple and important as that distinction is, many people have difficulty deciding on the proper usage of “who” and “whom” in sentences. The two sentences below illustrate the easy usage in which “who” is clearly the subject and “whom” is clearly the object. In such simple cases, virtually everyone can determine the proper choice: Who is that masked man? The men, four of whom are ill, were indicted for fraud. When “who” is not the main subject of the sentence, however, many people become confused. It was Thomas Jefferson, I think, who was the third president of the United States. Notice that “who,” not “whom,” is still the correct form as the subject of the clause that follows. Mrs. Who is that masked man?

Vad betyder värdeorden? Rubriken inleder med hur man kan tolka värdeorden.

För att hjälpa till att bedöma värdeorden används det som kallas bedömningsaspekter (här finns mer information från Pedagog Värmland om ämnet) men De kallas även för språkliga uttrycksformer i Skolverkets skrift Få syn på språket. Anna Kaya skriver om språkliga uttrycksformer här och här. Om du vill läsa mer om bedömningsaspekterna rekommenderar jag även denna skrift Bedömningsaspekter. Jag har sammanställt dessa ord i en liten skolparlör nedan. Jag har även gjort dem i CANVA så man kan sätta upp dem i klassrummet men för mina ämnen i svenska och engelska och lite tips för hur man man tänka för att utveckla sitt resonemang mm. Du hittar stödet längst ner i inlägget efter filmerna! Argumentera – att påstå något och bemöta andras påståenden Tolka – att förstå

Engelska A När används ing-form och när används enkel form (den vanliga verbformen)? Titta på exemplet nedan och formulera en regel: Varför måste det vara enkel form i det första exemplet och ing-form i det andra?

Project-based learning, the USA and Authentic Video in the EFL classroom | Elisabeth Horn The Globe Trekker/Pilot Guides video collection is a treasure trove for any English teacher. It encompasses extensive material from every corner of the world, and especially English-speaking countries are lavished with attention. Australia, Canada, Scotland, Wales, Ireland, England – you name it. Even individual cities are endowed with an approx. 50-minute complete video of its own, like London, New York City, San Francisco, Los Angeles, New Orleans to name but a few. Covering the United States satisfactorily in the language classroom is a daunting project, especially if you want to give your students more than a superficial understanding of its history, geography, language and people. To date, Globe Trekker offers a range of videos on the USA, covering practically every individual state, and, so it seems, more is coming every new season. In addition to making this initial decision, there are quite a lot of follow-up issues to consider: The route travelled in the video “Deep South”
