This document provides information and activities for an English reinforcement package divided into three weeks. Week 1 defines prefixes and suffixes, explaining how they are used to modify word meanings. Week 2 presents a chart summarizing the four conditionals in English grammar. Week 3 discusses ways to make comparisons using phrases like "as...as", "not as...as", "more...than", and "less...than". The suggested activities for each week involve copying information, writing examples, and creating sentences using targeted grammar points.

WEEK 2
PERSONAL PRONOUNS AND PERSONAL PRESENTACIÓN
Personal Pronouns
Personal pronouns represent specific people or things. We use them depending on:
number: singular (eg: I) or plural (eg: we)
person: 1st person (eg: I), 2nd person (eg: you) or 3rd person (eg: he)
gender: male (eg: he), female (eg: she) or neuter (eg: it)
case: subject (eg: we) or object (eg: us)
We use personal pronouns in place of the person or people that we are talking about. My name is Josef
but when I am talking about myself I almost always use "I" or "me", not "Josef". When I am talking
direct to you, I almost always use "you", not your name. When I am talking about another person, say
John, I may start with "John" but then use "he" or "him". And so on.
Here are the personal pronouns, followed by some example sentences:

WEEK 1
What is a comic strip?
A comic strip is a sequence of images with a small amount of text in each box. This text is normally
inside balloons or written as captions. Comic strips (or comic books) are a form of story-telling, which
uses drawings or cartoon characters to tell a story. Most comic strips are created for humour, while
some can be serious.
Comic strips are most likely to be seen in newspapers or magazines. While entire comic books or
graphic novels can be found at your local library or bookstore. Superman is one of the best-selling
comic books of all time. You might know of other examples of comic strips or books that you’ve seen
or read.
In the professional world, comic strips or comic books are created by cartoonists or professional
graphic artists. But today we’ll show you how to create your own comic strip at home with no
experience needed!
How to create a comic strip
As this is your first-ever comic strip we will focus on creating a three-frame comic. But when you
become a master at creating short comic strips, you can make yours much longer and filled with way
more characters.
Step 1: Write your ideas for your comic
Step 2: Draw the three-frames
Step 3: Use basic shapes to draw
Step 4: Add in the speech and lettering
Step 5: Add detail to your cartoon
Step 6: Go over your comic in pen
WEEK 2
Simple present tense
The simple present tense is one of several forms of present tense in English. It is used to
describe habits, unchanging situations, general truths, and fixed arrangements. The simple present
tense is simple to form. Just use the base form of the verb: (I take, you take, we take, they take) The
3rd person singular takes an -s at the end. (he takes, she takes)
The simple present tense is used:
To express habits, general truths, repeated actions or unchanging situations, emotions and wishes:
I smoke (habit); I work in London (unchanging situation); London is a large city (general truth)
To give instructions or directions:
You walk for two hundred meters, then you turn left.
To express fixed arrangements, present or future:
Your exam starts at 09.00
To express future time, after some conjunctions: after, when, before, as soon as, until:
He'll give it to you when you come next Saturday.
Examples
For habits
He drinks tea at breakfast.
For general truths
Water freezes at zero degrees.

5. She only eats fish.
They watch television regularly.
For repeated actions or events
We catch the bus every morning.
It rains every afternoon in the hot season.
They drive to Monaco every summer.
The Earth revolves around the Sun.
Her mother is Peruvian.
For instructions or directions
Open the packet and pour the contents into hot water.
You take the No.6 bus to Watney and then the No.10 to Bedford.
Forming the simple present tense: to think
Affirmative Interrogative Negative
I think Do I think? I do not think
You think Do you think? You do not think
He thinks Does he think? He does not think
She thinks Does she think? She does not think
It thinks Does it think? It does not think
We think Do we think? We do not think.
They think Do they think? They do not think.
Notes on the simple present, third person singular
In the third person singular the verb always ends in -s:
he wants, she needs, he gives, she thinks.
Negative and question forms use DOES (= the third person of the auxiliary 'DO') + the infinitive of the
verb.
He wants ice cream. Does he want strawberry? He does not want vanilla.
Verbs ending in -y : the third person changes the -y to -ies:
fly --> flies, cry --> cries
Exception: if there is a vowel before the -y:
play --> plays, pray --> prays
Add -es to verbs ending in:-ss, -x, -sh, -ch:
he passes, she catches, he fixes, it pushes
Examples
He goes to school every morning.
She understands English.
It mixes the sand and the water.
He tries very hard.
She enjoys playing the piano.

6. WEEK 3
Simple Future Tense
The simple future is a verb tense that’s used to talk about things that haven’t happened yet.
This year, Jen will read War and Peace. It will be hard, but she’s determined to do it.
Use the simple future to talk about an action or condition that will begin and end in the future.
How to Form the Simple Future
The formula for the simple future is will + [root form of verb].
I will learn a new language. Jen will read that book. My brothers will sleep till noon if no one wakes them up.
You will see what I mean.
It doesn’t matter if the subject is singular or plural; the formula for the simple future doesn’t change.
But…
There is another way to show that something will happen in the future. It follows the formula [am/is/are] + going
to + [root form verb].
I am going to learn a new language. Jen is going to read that book. My brothers are going to sleep till noon if
no one wakes them up. You are going to see what I mean.
The “going to” construction is common in speech and casual writing. Keep in mind though that it’s on the
informal side, so it’s a good idea to stick to the will + [root form] construction in formal writing.
How to Make the Simple Future Negative
To make the simple future negative, the formula is will + not + [root form].
Jen will not quit before she reaches her goal. Make sure you arrive on time tomorrow because the bus will not
wait for you. He will not say anything bad about his boss. I will not finish my homework in time for class.
Using the “going to” construction, the formula is [am/is/are] + not + going to + [root form].
Jen is not going to quit before she reaches her goal. Make sure you arrive on time tomorrow because the
bus is not going to wait for you. He is not going to say anything bad about his boss. I am not going to
finish my homework in time for class.
How to Ask a Question
To ask a question in the simple future, the formula is will + [subject] + [root form].
Will Jen finish War and Peace over the summer? Will I have the discipline to study Spanish every day?
What will you buy with the money you found?
The formula for the “going to” construction is [am/is/are] + [subject] +going to + [root form].
