WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE

Hello and welcome back to the blog!
In this post, we´ll have a look at different activities to conmemorate the 400 years of Shakespeare´s death.
Here you can read about his life:

William Shakespeare was an English playwright and poet, widely regarded as one of the greatest ever English writers. Some of Shakespeare’s better known plays include ‘Romeo & Juliet’, ‘Hamlet’ and ‘Much Ado About Nothing’.

Shakespeare was born in Stratford-upon-Avon in 1564 before moving to London to become an actor at age 21. Shakespeare wrote different genres of plays throughout his career, starting out mainly with comedies and histories before moving on to tragedies as he grew older.

In 1599, along with some fellow actors, Shakespeare built a theatre on the South Bank of the River Thames which he named ‘The Globe’. It was here that many of his plays were performed. Today, visitors to London can still watch Shakespeare plays at the restored Globe Theatre.

Some of his most famous plays are:

COMPARATIVE & SUPERLATIVE ADJECTIVES





Hello and welcome back to my blog!


In this post, we are revising adjectives. Adjectives are words that usually go before a noun and tell us some quality of that noun. For example "My old car has got 4 wheels" the word old is an adjective.




But now, I want you to have look at this video with some good explanations about this topic.

Ok! I hope these explanations are good for you to understand this, but if you have more doubts, don't forget to ask me in class!!

I HOPE YOU ENJOYED IT!!!
