Prepositions of Time

Prepositions of Time

Warm-Up/Review:

Begin by reviewing the following prepositions with the students (here they are shown in Ukrainian).

Then, have students translate them into English:

 

Presentation of New Material:

Have students copy the following chart into their exercise books, or onto a sheet of paper.

 

Fill in the Ukrainian rules of use….

 

…and then have the students help you to translate them into English.

 

Finally, give them examples for each rule of use.

 

Practice:

Students will recreate the chart by pairing the correct preposition with its rules of use, both in Ukrainian and in English.

 

Application:

Students will be given cards, or squares of paper, with examples on them. Students must then A) choose the correct preposition for this example, and then B) create a full sentence communicating an event in this time example.

 

For example:

1.       The evening à  In the evening à I eat dinner in the evening.

2.       Tuesday à On Tuesday à I have geography class on Tuesday.

3.       Lunch à At lunch à I see my friends at lunch.

4.       …Monday…Friday à From Monday to Friday à I go to school from Monday to Friday each week.

Check for Understanding:

Students will read their sentences aloud to the class; the other students will agree or disagree and help to correct any errors.

Basic Modal Verb: To Have To

Basic Modal Verb: To Have To

Communicating Obligation

	Teacher Guide
Objectives (to be written on board of delivered orally)	The student will be able to: Communicate, orally and written, ‘obligation’ using the modal verb ‘to have’
Warm-Up or Review 5 minutes	Review the verb мати, and have students conjugate the verb.
Presentation of New Material (New vocabulary and concepts) 10 minutes	Have students create this new table in their notes, or on a sheet of paper:                       Now, fill in the ‘main verb’ or predicate section of the chart and have students orally translate. For example, “I eat breakfast’ is ‘Я їм сніданок.’ But, if it is an obligation, we must add ‘have to’ and then it becomes ‘Я маю їсти сніданок.’ (or “Я повинен їсти сніданок”)                         Fill in the verb “to have” to communicate obligation.                         Fill in the negative column to communicate when something is NOT an obligation; note that the verb ‘to have’ changes in the negative form with he, she, and it.
Activity (Practice and Application) 20 minutes	Practice: Practice together as a class with the following examples (write in both the positive and the negative): (He) buy eggs (She) sew a dress (They) listen to music   Application: Give students the following ‘to do’ list. They must write sentences about themselves and what they have to, or do not have to, do.
Summary (Check for Understanding) 5 minutes	Check for Understanding: Once you have collected the sentences about the ‘to do’ list, have students orally tell you about the tasks on the list, varying the subjects. For example, ‘They have to do homework,’ or ‘He doesn’t have to call a friend.’
