•G o to HANDY GRAMMAR

Attenzione alle seguenti variazioni ortografiche: • sostantivi terminanti in -y preceduta da consonante: y → ies party → parties family → families • sostantivi terminanti in -s, -sh, -ch, -x, -o: + es class → classes dish → dishes potato → potatoes

10. sandwich ____________________

Simple Present – Forma affermativa Il Simple Present si usa generalmente per descrivere azioni che si compiono abitualmente.

I go to bed early. Vado a letto presto.

Nella forma affermativa il verbo prende la s alla terza persona singolare.

I / YOU WORK HE / SHE / IT WORKS WE / YOU / THEY WORK

L’aggiunta della s alla terza persona singolare segue la stessa regola del plurale dei sostantivi, quindi: • verbi terminanti in -y preceduta da consonante: y → ies She studies German at school.

Eating out Alan

Fiona

On my birthday I always invite my friends for a pizza to a really fun place: The Big Red Bus Pizzeria.

There you can eat your pizzas on a real London double-decker bus. There are 34 seats on the bus… I mean in the restaurant!

There’s also a garden round the bus where you can watch films and cartoons.

The place is great… and so is the pizza!

Once a year my parents take me to a very special restaurant.

What’s so special about it? Well, it’s called the Treehouse Restaurant and it’s actually built in a tree! You reach the Treehouse across a suspension bridge. There are trees growing through the floor and all the furniture is carved from wood: the chairs, the tables, the walls, the big fireplace.

I love this place but what I like best is the food.

It’s delicious!

mystery

Stonehenge is one of the world’s most famous monuments. It stands on Salisbury Plain, about 150 km from London, and its giant stones can be seen from far away. Stonehenge was built in the late Neolithic Age, around 3000 BC. A mystery surrounds this place: we don’t know exactly why Stonehenge was built.

Some people think that it was used to study the movements of the Sun and the Moon.

Most archaeologists believe that the monument served for funerals and other religious ceremonies.

In fact the ancient Britons danced round the circle of stones on Midsummer’s Day (the longest day of the year) and on Midwinter’s Day (the shortest day of the year).

Today only a few stones are left standing.

l a r d e h t a C y r u b r e t n a C GIRLS' CHOIR Canterbury is a historic town in the county of Kent (in south-eastern England) and it is famous for its Cathedral, one of the oldest Christian churches in England.

Canterbury Cathedral was originally founded in 602 AD

by St Augustine, and it is the cathedral of the Archbishop of Canterbury, the leader of the Church of England (or Anglican Church). One of the Cathedral’s attractions is its choir. Until 2014 the choir was composed only of male members: 12 professional singers and 25 boy

choristers aged between 8 and 13 years.

In 2014 the first Girls’ Choir was created. It first consisted of 16 girls but the number has increased in these years.

Today there are 24 members aged between 12 and 18. The girls rehearse once a week on Wednesday evenings, and their exhibitions are always a success.

Hi everybody!

This is my last weekend in England. Today I’m in Detling, a small village in Kent where Mr Stevenson’s parents live.

Do you remember that the Stevensons are my host family?

The parents live in a beautiful, old farmhouse in the country. Upstairs there are four bedrooms and two bathrooms while downstairs there’s a kitchen, a large living room and another bathroom. There’s also a garage and a large garden round it. The Stevensons have got a dog, Polly. Polly is a four-year-old golden retriever and she’s fantastic. She’a a champion of long jump, a popular dog sport in England. Every year in September there’s an important dog show in Detling, called Paws in the Park.

Polly is taking part in the competition next Sunday and we all hope she wins!

Detling is a small village in Kent. It is famous for its annual dog show which takes place in September.

The show is called “Paws in the Park” and it lasts the whole weekend. All kinds of dogs take part in games and activities, including canine search and rescue, CCC (Cani Cross Challenge) and long jump (also called Splash and Grab). In long jump the dog’s owner throws a tennis ball over a large pool of water. The dog runs up a ramp and launches itself into the water to catch the ball.

Cani Cross Challenge is another funny game. In this competition the dog’s owner and the dog run together as fast as they can. The fastest couple wins the race.

History and mystery in

Cornwall Cornwall lies in the south west of England. It is a beautiful place: blue sea, white sandy beaches, white cliffs, long walks, bike rides and … mystery, of course!

North Cornwall is famous for its legendary kings, beautiful queens and powerful wizards.

The magic of north Cornwall can be found in the village of Tintagel.

For hundreds of years the area has been famous for the legend of King Arthur, including the historic castle on the cliffs.

If you walk along the streets of Tintagel during the summer months you may meet a story-teller who brings the legends of King Arthur, Guinevere and Lancelot to life.

You may also see Merlin’s face carved in a rock in one of the caves below Tintagel Castle.

Uther is going nervously up and down the large dining room. He is a tall, strong man in his thirties. He has blue eyes, long dark hair and a beard.

Uther is very worried. There are rumours about a plot against him.

WHAT CAN I DO? HOW CAN I SAVE MY SON?

Some people want to kill him and his heir, his son Arthur, who is just a baby.

To Ector’s castle

GOODBYE‚ MY SON!

Uther is at the window and watches Merlin leave with baby Arthur. His small body is wrapped in a golden cloth and he is sleeping. Tears flow down the king’s face. “Why is fate so cruel to me?” he thinks.

Many miles away, deep in the forest, there’s a small castle.

It belongs to a knight. His name is Sir Ector. He is a good and honest man.

Merlin arrives at Ector’s house in a cold foggy night. He knocks at Ector’s door…

A new family for Arthur

Ector knows Merlin very well and he MERLIN! trusts him because the wizard uses his powers for good. He invites Merlin in.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE? “Come inside and take a seat,” he says.

“Why are you here?” Merlin hands him the baby.

“Take this child. Call him Arthur and raise him as your own son. Don’t ask me why.

It’s a secret. Nobody must know how Arthur came here.”

Ector gently takes the baby in his arms, and Merlin disappears. The knight calls his wife at once.

“This is Arthur,” he says. “He’s our new son. We will love him just as we love our own child, Kay.” “But who ...? ” says his wife looking at the baby with bright eyes. Ector interrupts her.

3. Arthur grows up

Arthur and Kay

Arthur is sixteen now. He grows up with Ector’s son, Kay, who is two years older. The two boys look very different but they love each other as brothers.

Kay is tall, athletic and has fair hair and brown eyes. Arthur isn’t very tall but he’s strong and handsome. He has got long brown hair and green eyes. He admires Kay and wants to be a knight like his brother. “Knights must be brave, honest and kind. Just like Kay,” he thinks.

I WANT TO BE BRAVE AND KIND LIKE YOU‚ KAY!

BOOKS ARE

as important as Arthur and Kay spend most of their time together. What do they do? Every day they ride horses, go hunting in the forest and fight with swords and spears.

But they also study. There is a big library in Sir Ector’s castle, and the boys spend five or six hours a day on books.

CALL YOUR subjects AND TELL THEM THAT YOUR SON ARTHUR WILL BE THE NEXT KING!

So King Uther gathers the knights, the noblemen, the clergy and a multitude of people at his court. He is sitting in his throne, a big wooden armchair between two soldiers, under a big window. “Thank you my people for being here. Do you still trust me?” asks the king.

“Yes, we do, Your Majesty!” is the people’s answer. “All right. Listen to me: my son Arthur will be the next king after me,” Uther says in a feeble voice. Everybody is astonished. Who is Arthur? Where is he? How old is he?

Does he really exist? Nobody knows.

4. The sword in the stone A strange thing happens

Uther dies on a cold day in November, and Merlin is worried because he has heard some bad news: many lords and knights are fighting to become the new king of England.

THIS FIGHTING MUST STOP. I HAVE AN IDEA... A MAGIC SWORD!

It’s Christmas Day, and a lot of people have gathered at the Great Church in London. Then a strange thing happens outside the church.

There are black clouds in the sky. Suddenly a terrible storm breaks out. Big raindrops start to fall, and a bolt of lightning strikes the ground. Then a stone appears in the churchyard!

A shining sword is stuck into it.

The sword has jewels covering the handle and the blade is so shiny that you can see your reflection in it. Strange words are written on the stone…

Someone tries to draw the sword from the stone.

But it is impossible!

A few days later, on New Year’s Day, as it happens every year, a great tournament is organized in London not far from the Great Church.

Nobles and knights from all parts of England gather to show their ability with their swords and spears, bows and arrows. They are the best knights in England and they will also try to pull the magic sword from the stone.

News of the event in London soon arrives at Sir Ector’s castle. Kay is excited. He knows he can show his talent in the tournament.

5. A trip to London

The big city

Sir Ector and his sons travel all day and arrive in London at 6 p.m.. It’s New Year’s Eve and the streets are busy and full of people of all ages and classes: lords and ladies, knights on their horses, students carrying their books, beggars, street sellers, bakers, butchers...

Arthur is excited. It’s his first time in the capital. What a big city! There are tall towers, houses of all types, inns, shops and churches.

Ector and his sons stop at an inn called The Black Lamb.

They and their horses need a rest and a good meal.

I’M HUNGRY. WHAT’S FOR DINNER?

There are a lot of good things to eat: soup, meat, and a big slice of apple pie.

“It’s late! Tomorrow is New Year’s Day and the tournament begins very early”, Sir Ector says after dinner. “Let’s go to bed!”.

The next morning they get up at six and Kay is very excited. He’s going to take part in a tournament!

Where’s Kay’s sword?

The playing field is near the Great Church. It is full of tents, people, horses and knights in armour. The tournament is about to begin. Suddenly Kay turns pale.

OH‚ NO! MY SWORD!

I forgot it

“Don’t worry,” says Arthur. “I’ll go back to the inn and fetch it for you!” He jumps on his horse but the inn is far and there’s no time. As he is riding past the Great Church he sees a sword stuck in a big stone.

I HAVEN’T GOT TIME. THAT SWORD WILL DO!

He is in a hurry and doesn’t read the words on the stone. He pulls the sword easily from the stone and rides back to Kay. 10 Metti questi avvenimenti nell’ordine corretto. a. b. c. d. e. f. 1 g.

6. An astonishing discovery

Ector tells the truth

Arthur rides back to Kay and hands him the sword.

THIS ISN’T MY SWORD! WHERE did you find it?

Arthur tells them what happened and Ector turns pale. A sword stuck in a rock? This must be one of Merlin’s tricks...

“Hurry up!” Ector shouts. “Let’s ride to the Great Church!”

When they arrive at the churchyard Ector orders Arthur to put the sword back into the stone and then to draw it again. Arthur does what his father asks him: he grasps the sword and pulls it easily out of the rock.

Ector is looking at Arthur in a strange way now.

MERLIN WAS RIGHT! I kneel to THE TRUE KING OF ENGLAND!

“I promised to keep the secret.” Ector continues.

Arthur can’t believe his ears. “If you aren’t my father and Kay isn’t my brother... Who am I?”, he cries.

He is afraid now. “I don’t know,” is Sir Ector’s answer.

“But the prophecy says that if you can pull out that magic sword you will be king!”

LET’S SEE WHO THE NEXT KING WILL BE...

An hour later Arthur is standing in front of the stone with the other knights. He is worried and confused.

The place is full of people and animals: hens, dogs, squirrels running around. Children, young and old men and women have come from all parts to see who will draw the sword from the stone.

7. King Arthur in Camelot Too young to be king?

One by one the bravest knights try to pull out the sword, but nobody can. Their efforts are vain. The Great Church clock strikes midday: it’s Arthur’s turn. As he walks to the stone the people make comments: “Who is that boy?”, “How can he raise such e sword?”

Arthur is right in front of the stone now. He takes one great breath, grips the sword, pulls and... out it comes! Silence. Then someone shouts: “That boy can’t be king!

He’s too young!”

Suddenly a bright mist surrounds the place and a strange old man appears... He is carrying a long stick. Merlin!

I KNOW THE PAST AND I KNOW THE FUTURE. THIS BOY HERE IS KING UTHER’S SON. HIS NAME IS ARTHUR AND HE WILL BE THE GREATEST KING OF ENGLAND!

He sets up his castle at Camelot and marries a beautiful girl, Guinevere. He also gathers the best and bravest knights at Camelot. As a wedding present Guinevere’s father gives the couple a round table where all Arthur’s knights can sit.

THIS TABLE IS ROUND. NOBODY CAN SAY "I’M THE BEST' BECAUSE WE’RE ALL EQUAL ROUND THIS TABLE.

This was the origin of the knights of the Round Table!

Verbi - Comunicare al presente

In inglese i verbi BE e HAVE, l’ausiliare do/does e i verbi modali (ad esempio CAN) possono essere espressi sia con le forme estese che con le forme contratte. La forma contratta è molto usata nel linguaggio quotidiano, colloquiale e informale. In inglese dopo una domanda non si risponde solo con Yes o No, ma si usano le short answers (risposte brevi).

La negazione del verbo si esprime con not, che corrisponde all’italiano “non”. Not segue sempre il verbo: BE (I’m not), HAVE (I haven’t), gli ausiliari DO (I don’t) e DOES (She doesn’t) e i verbi modali, come CAN (I can’t).

Per comunicare al presente si utilizzano due tempi: - il Simple Present (che corrisponde generalmente all’indicativo presente italiano) per esprimere azioni abituali o condizioni permanenti I always get up at seven. Mi alzo sempre alle sette.

She comes from Canada. (Lei) viene dal Canada.

- il Present Progressive (o Present Continuous) per esprimere azioni che sono in svolgimento in un preciso momento What are the kids doing?

Che

cosa fanno

(stanno

facendo) i bambini?

They’re watching cartoons on the TV.

Guardano (stanno

guardando) i cartoni alla

TV.

Imperativo A differenza dell’italiano, in inglese esiste una sola forma per l’imperativo, riferito sia alla seconda persona singolare “tu” che alla seconda persona plurale “voi”.

Forma affermativa è uguale alla forma base del verbo.

Alan, listen to me, please!

Alan, ascoltami per piacere!

Have a nice weekend!

Passa/Passate settimana!

un buon fine

Attenzione alla differenza con l’italiano: Come and see! = Vieni a vedere!

Forma negativa Si ottiene premettendo don’t alla forma base del verbo.

Don’t go out now, girls!

Non

uscite adesso, ragazze!

Non

aprire

Don’t open the window, please!

/ Non

aprite la

finestra, per favore!

Infinito e forma base In inglese l’infinito presente corrisponde alla forma base del verbo, la prima voce che si trova sul dizionario. L’infinito è spesso preceduto da to, ma il significato non cambia. (to) BE = essere (to) GO = andare (to) WRITE = scrivere

Ann always arrives late at school.

Forma affermativa Per esprimere il Simple Present affermativo si utilizza la forma base del verbo. Questa forma è uguale per tutte le persone tranne che per la terza persona singolare (he, she, it), che aggiunge una s.

I YOU

READ.

HE SHE IT

READS.

WE YOU THEY

READ.

Alcuni verbi, alla terza persona singolare, aggiungono -es o -ies alla • forma base perché seguono la stessa regola ortografica del plurale dei sostantivi.

I verbi che terminano con:

Forma base

3a persona singolare

o, s, ss, z, ch, sh, x aggiungono es

go andare cross attraversare push spingere teach insegnare

goes crosses pushes teaches

y preceduta da consonante aggiungono ies

fly volare spy spiare try provare

flies spies tries

L’ausiliare DO Per ottenere la forma interrogativa e negativa dei verbi al Simple Present si utilizzano le forme del verbo DO (don’t/doesn’t per la forma negativa, do/does per la forma interrogativa). In questo caso il verbo DO diventa un verbo “ausiliare”, nel senso che aiuta i verbi nelle forme negative e interrogative.

Forma negativa soggetto + don’t / doesn’t + verbo forma base a forma negativa del Simple Present si ottiene inserendo gli ausiliari • Ldon’t o doesn’t prima del verbo nella forma base. on’t (do not nella forma estesa) si usa con tutte le persone tranne • Dche con la terza persona singolare che usa doesn’t (does not nella forma estesa).
