WORKING ON PAST SIMPLE - PAST PERFECT

To talk about the past, we need the PAST SIMPLE (theory)  and, of course, the PAST PERFECT (theory).
In both cases, we need to know the complete list of IRREGULAR VERBS, otherwise, we may know the rule, but make grammatical mistakes.

Here you have several exercises to practise the PAST SIMPLE and the PAST PERFECT:

Exercise: Past Simple
Exercise: Past Simple and Past Perfect 1
Exercise: Past Simple or Past perfect 2

WORKING ON CONDITIONALS

Conditionals (theory) is another grammar point we are facing in DBH 3. Here you have several conditional exercises to practise them

1. 0 type or general conditionals
2. 1st type or possible conditionals
3. 2nd type or hypothetical conditionals
4. 3rd type or impossible conditionals
5. Mixed conditiona sentences. It is a PDF, write the verbs in your notebook.

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!!

UNSOLVED MYSTERIES IN DBH 3

The Nazca lines, the faces of Belmez, Ghosts, the Chupacabras, UFO seeings, The Tutankhamon curse ... how many unsolved mysteries are there all over the world? Do you believe in them? What does science say about them? Well, this is what students from DBH3 are tryng to find out. In fact, they have to choose one of these phenomena, unalyse it deeply and present their findings to the rest of their mates in an oral presentation.  We may have some experts among us too and make "thrilling" radio interviews. Amazing!

Anyway, here you have some of the top mysteries to start getting involved with the issue.

CULTURE SHOCK AND COMPARATIVE ESSAYS

Students from DBH 3 are working on CULTURE SHOCK and at the moment they are learning how to make comparative essays.
In order to write a good comparative composition, here you have some tips:

Once learned how to do it, it is time to start working.

4. Share it with your English teacher (give her permission to edit it)
