THE TOWN WHERE I LIVE


you must  control basic mistakes from previous levels and use new structures and vocabulary.
REMEMBER:


  • you must always use the subject
  • normal sentence order is: SUBJECT + VERB + OBJECT + COMPLEMENTS
  • adjectives go BEFORE nouns: There's a wonderful church and they DO NOT have plural (I saw three tall men)
  • don't forget the final -s in plurals and for the 3rd person singular in the Present Simple
  • we only use capital letters at the beginning of sentences, with "I", days of the week, months, names of people/places...
  • avoid repetitions using pronouns: I live in Valleseco, it's a nice small town
  • and please... DO NOT MAKE MISTAKES FROM NB1 (like+ing, a/an, present and past tenses, pronouns...)
  • revise your spelling
