Why (who is absent for a good/disrespectful reason)?

Let’s begin our lesson.

Check up the home task: ex. 1-2, page 147-149 (Козырева Л.Г- Английский язык для медицинских колледжей и училищ). Retelling the text.

Discussion point

And now I’ll tell you about questions. There are many types of them, but today we’ll study the basic ones: General and Special. Firstly, look at the board and write down in your copybooks: General question is a question whether you can answer only ‘Yes’ or ‘No”. To form it, you need to change the subject and object: She is tall. Is she tall? You’re free. Are you free?

Main part

1. General question.

If you need to know general information, then you ask a general question. "Do you like flowers?", "Will you come tomorrow?". In other words, you do not specify the time, place, etc. The answer implies either agreement or disagreement.

2. Special question.

If you are aiming to get specific information, then a special question is used. "Where are you flying away this fall?". To answer such a question, you need to give your interlocutor a complete and detailed answer.

Task #1. Give the special questions

1. There is a book on the table. 2. He must work hard today. 3. We are leaving for Moscow next week. 4. We were reading the whole evening. 5. They don't go to work on Sunday. 6. It is not cold today. 7. We learn English at school. 8. It wasn't difficult to do this task.

Task #2. Transfer these sentences into interrogative and give answers, e. g. .

Tom is a driver. Is Tom a driver? – Yes, he is. No, he isn’t. The child is ill today. It is hot today. ü Our friends are in France. The cake is nice. The boy is five. The girls are lazy.

Task #3. Ask special questions to the sentences beginning with the words given in brackets.

1. Some children do stupid things. (why?)

2. I am looking for my watch (what?)

3. His penfriend lives in London. (where?)

4. We met after school yesterday. (when?)

5. She'll come to the party. (with whom?)

6. English is spoken in many countries. (what countries?)

7. He was not prepared for the test. (why?)

8. They were playing a game when I came. (what game?)

9. I have made some mistakes in this exercise (how many?)

10. He has given me his old camera. (what?)

Home task

All right, thank you, it’s time to finish our lesson. Who can tell me what kind of questions are in the English language? How do we form them? What’s the difference between Special and General questions? Well done! Now you know it. Here’s your home task. Good buy!

Feedback:

1. What have you learnt today?

2. What other information do you know?

3. Let’s say some examples about today’s grammar.
