WEEK 11 ENIGMAS

EXPRESSING CRISTICISM/REGRET ABOUT PAST SITUATIONS

Regrets are often preceded by wishing things could be different.

Also, be sure to illustrate for them how to make a negative statement, and stress that regrets are often geared toward things you didn’t do, but wish you had.
- - I wish I hadn't said those awful things.
- - I should have known that my brother was in trouble.
- - I could have been a better daughter.
Modal Verb + Have + Verb 3 (Past Participle)

Should have known

Could have been

Would have said
There are some modals of regret that are very common in spoken English. Often we use these conversationally and they can be heard quite frequently. Some of those are:
- - I should have known better.
- - I could have done better.
- - I wouldn’t have dreamed of…
- - I should have been there.
- - I shouldn’t have said that.
- - I should have taken it more seriously.
- - I would have done it differently.
These are great opportunities for more concrete examples and story-telling. You could have students complete each of these thoughts with an example from their lives or have them create hypothetical ways each could be used.

STATE VERBS

hen a verb describes a state and not an action we do not use the continuous tense. For example, 'play' is an action so we can say 'playing' whereas 'be' is a fixed state which does not change: 'To be, or not to be'.

Grammatically it is not correct to say "Im loving it" even though McDonald's have made this expression famous. 'Love' is a state verb and so we should say "I love it".

State verbs generally fall into 4 groups:

Emotion: love, hate, want, need

Possession: have, own, want, belong

Sense: see, hear, smell, seem

Thought: know, believe, remember

Here are some more examples of state verbs:

State Verbs
doubt	dislike	understand	suspect
loathe	own	belong	know
like	need	want	seem
mean	believe	forget	remember
prefer	hate	love	see

Collocations – Match the verbs with the nouns to form phrases from the song.
