Online Class Notes (Joe)

We practiced using the word ‘yet’ to ask and answer questions. This is a useful word because it adds a subtle new meaning to your sentence.

We also learned about different types of cutlery(knives, forks and spoons) and verbs that can be used with them.

We can talk about more things that we want to do but haven’t done yet.
