UNIT 7 - (6th grade)

In this unit we have studied the RELATIVE PRONOUNS (who, which and that). We can use relative clauses to join two sentences or to give more information about something.

UNIT 8 - (6th grade)

In unit 8 we have studied the PAST PERFECT. When we talk about something that happened in the past we sometimes want to refer back to something that happened before that time. We can use the past perfect tense to do this. You can see some examples and practise with a quiz on the British Council web page.

REMEMBER! It's important to know the past participle of the irregular verbs! (check this LINK to review them).
