Final revision

Remember you will be asked to choose or complete some sentences with everything we have studied this year. You should revise the following things:

- Tenses ( present simple and continuous, past simple and continuous, present and past perfect, will, be going to, used to)

-Some- and any- compounds: somewhere, nowhere, somebody, anybody...

-Subject and Object Questions

- 1st, 2nd and 3rd conditionals

- Relative Clauses ( non-defining- who, which, when...etc)

- The passive voice ( verb "to be" + participle) You can find the active sentences in any tense ( present, past, future, after a modal verb...)

-Reported Speech ( statements + questions -say, tell, ask- there will be a whole exercise on this)

*vocabulary: you must know every verb from your list ( infinitive, past simple, participle and their meaning)

Here are some links for you to practice this new unit.
