WEEK 11 ENIGMAS

EXPRESSING CRISTICISM/REGRET ABOUT PAST SITUATIONS

  1. 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
  2. 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:
