VIP Class Notes (Joe)

Practice talking about colors. Remember that we don’t usually say the word ‘color’ when we describe what color something is. For example, we say ‘It’s red’ instead of ‘It has a red color’. Describe things in your home by making sentences about the different colors these objects are.

Review the website about the present perfect tense and try to make sentences with each of the main 5 reasons to use this tense.
