INTRODUZIONE Le prove INVALSI di inglese Il decreto legislativo n. 62/2017, attuativo della legge 107/2015 e recante norme in materia di valutazione e certificazione delle competenze nel primo ciclo e per gli esami di Stato, ha introdotto, come novità principale nella scuola primaria, la prova INVALSI di inglese per la classe 5a. Le nuove disposizioni sono entrate in vigore il 1° settembre 2017.

Il Ministero stabilisce che la nuova prova INVALSI d’inglese debba valutare le abilita di comprensione e uso della lingua, riportate dal Quadro comune europeo di riferimento per le lingue.

Secondo le Indicazioni nazionali, infatti, gli alunni dovrebbero uscire dalla scuola primaria con il livello A1 del QCER. Nella pratica scolastica il livello degli alunni italiani in realta è spesso molto più basso. È quindi particolarmente importante che i bambini comincino presto a familiarizzare anche con i test INVALSI d’inglese in modo da raggiungere lo standard richiesto.

Il 9 novembre 2017 l’Istituto Nazionale per la Valutazione ha pubblicato un documento che illustra le linee guida del primo test per la scuola primaria, confermate poi nella prima prova INVALSI del 3 maggio 2018. Ecco le caratteristiche principali per l’INVALSI di inglese.

• La prova INVALSI d’inglese ha la durata di 1 ora. Essa si compone di due parti di 30 minuti ciascuna: Reading e Listening. Tra una parte e l’altra è prevista una pausa di 15 minuti.

• La prova di Reading propone 3 o 4 testi in lingua che l’alunno deve leggere e comprendere in autonomia. I testi vanno da semplici frasi a brani di massimo 110 parole: si tratta di situazioni familiari ai bambini (costruire qualcosa, leggere una locandina, interpretare immagini...). Ogni testo presenta fino a un massimo di 8 attivita di comprensione.

• Per il Listening sono previsti 3 o 4 compiti (task), costituiti da brani in inglese della durata massima di due minuti. Anche i contenuti delle prove di ascolto presentano situazioni familiari con brani autentici. Per ogni brano sono presenti da un minimo di 3 a un massimo di 8 domande di comprensione. Per ogni testo sono previsti due ascolti, preceduti e seguiti da due pause di 20 secondi l’una, la prima per un’iniziale osservazione e la seconda per il completamento e la verifica delle risposte da parte dell’alunno.

• Il layout è user friendly con domande e testo affiancate.

• Le consegne sono sempre in lingua, ma usano un linguaggio standardizzato e noto ai bambini.

• Tutte le prove hanno sempre un esempio.

• Le tipologie degli esercizi sono varie: scelta multipla, matching, risposte brevi univoche, vero (true) e falso (false) e non dato (not given).

• Le indicazioni dell’INVALSI esplicitano che NON sono presenti attivita sugli aspetti formali della lingua (esercizi di tipo grammaticale); i test si concentrano per questo sulle competenze ricettive.

I test INVALSI di inglese e gli alunni con disabilità, BES e DSA In analogia con quanto previsto per le prove INVALSI di italiano e matematica, per gli alunni disabili e per quelli con DSA sono previste delle misure compensative o dispensative, in armonia con quanto riportato sul PEI e sul PDP di ciascun alunno (art. 11, c. 4 del D. Lgs. 62/2017 e nota MIUR 1865 del 10.10.2017).

INTRODUZIONE English Training For INVALSI: una vera e propria palestra Ecco il nostro programma di allenamento: • Rispettare i tempi. Poter somministrare ai ragazzi 7 test significa anticipare gia alla classe 4a la preparazione della prova, oppure fare in 5a un programma di ripasso completo, funzionale e ben strutturato. Inoltre nella guida c’è un test aggiuntivo completo fotocopiabile. Gli insegnanti hanno così a disposizione due prove per ogni quadrimestre, sia in 4a sia in 5a.

• Gettare le fondamenta. Questo fascicolo non è un semplice eserciziario: parallelamente ai test che, coerentemente alle indicazioni ministeriali, lavorano sulle competenze comunicative, si affianca un graduale ripasso della grammatica inglese. Gli insegnanti hanno così uno strumento per facilitare la preparazione generale degli alunni.

• Alzare il livello. Se l’obiettivo della prova INVALSI di inglese è monitorare i livelli di competenza raggiunti per favorire lo sviluppo e il miglioramento della lingua, diventa necessario abituare gradualmente i ragazzi a misurarsi con testi di Reading e di Listening un po’ più complessi di quelli con cui si confrontano normalmente. Esporre gli studenti alla lettura e all’ascolto di testi sfidanti, non scontati, consente loro di mettersi alla prova, impiegare in modo efficace le proprie conoscenze, cercare percorsi risolutivi sempre diversi. English Training For INVALSI punta proprio a stimolare l’interesse e la motivazione dei ragazzi.

• Puntare sulla responsabilità. Gia le prime pagine del libro per gli alunni “Istruzioni per l’uso” puntano a rendere i ragazzi consapevoli del percorso di preparazione e condividere le modalita di esecuzione delle prove. Questo permettera agli alunni di affrontare con più tranquillita non solo la fase di allenamento, ma anche il test INVALSI vero e proprio.

• Analizzare i testi. Ricavare una regola o essere in grado di riconoscerla all’interno di un testo è il metodo migliore per approfondire la conoscenza grammaticale di una lingua. Nella guida per gli insegnanti English Training For INVALSI molti task contengono piccoli box con spunti di riflessione e analisi che i docenti possono trasmettere ai ragazzi. I fenomeni linguistici analizzati sono selezionati in base alla difficolta: da osservazioni semplici (come plurali irregolari o aggettivi possessivi), fino ad arrivare ad approfondimenti più complessi (come futuro o passato dei verbi). Con questi spunti gli insegnanti possono quindi usare il momento della correzione collettiva della prova per creare significative occasioni di apprendimento.

• Enfatizzare l’ascolto. L’esposizione all’ascolto migliora la comprensione e la pronuncia.

Per questo motivo tutti i task di ogni prova INVALSI sono affiancati da un QR code (vedi Istruzioni per l’uso p. 6 libro alunno su come utilizzare il QR code). I ragazzi potranno così ascoltare in qualunque momento gli audio di tutti i task sia dei Listening sia dei Reading.

Gli alunni avranno così la possibilita di svolgere le attivita anche da casa, esercitandosi nella comprensione e nella pronuncia. Gli audio di tutti i testi (compresi quelli dei Reading) costituiscono inoltre un grande supporto per gli alunni con disabilita, DSA e BES.

INTRODUZIONE Il progetto English Training For INVALSI • All’inizio del percorso per gli alunni alcune pagine (Istruzioni per l’uso pp. 4-11) spiegano agli studenti le caratteristiche e la struttura della prova INVALSI e analizzano le consegne come anche le varie tipologie di esercizi.

• Nel volume per gli alunni sono presenti 7 test completi in linea con i test ufficiali e con difficoltà crescente.

• Prima di ogni prova, invece, sono previsti materiali di aiuto: due pagine Grammar, che focalizzano alcuni aspetti grammaticali utili allo svolgimento delle prove, e una pagina Glossary, che contiene i vocaboli presenti nella prova con la relativa traduzione.

• Al piede di ogni task è previsto il punteggio (score). Al termine di ogni prova è presente una tabella di registrazione dei risultati per segnare le risposte corrette, quelle date e il punteggio raggiunto. Sono due strumenti utili per facilitare agli insegnanti le correzioni delle prove e aiutare gli alunni nell’autovalutazione.

• Il timing è stato sperimentato sia nelle classi quarte sia quinte: gli alunni riescono a realizzarli nei previsti 75/80 minuti con pausa tra il Reading e il Listening.

• Inoltre in guida (pp. 34-48) è presente un test aggiuntivo che l’insegnante può somministrare ai ragazzi come ulteriore simulazione della prova.

Reading Per la prova di Reading sono sempre previsti 4 testi, come da indicazioni. Le consegne sono sempre in lingua ed è sempre presente un esempio. I testi possono essere semplici frasette oppure testi di massimo 110 parole: si tratta di situazioni familiari ai bambini o brevi testi che mettono in gioco situazioni di civilta. Il layout è, come da richiesta, user friendly: domande e testo affiancate. Tutte le consegne e i testi dei Reading sono disponibili anche come file audio, letti da persone madrelingua, per aumentare l’esposizione all’inglese. Potete decidere se e quando farli sentire alla classe, oppure utilizzarli solo per alunni BES.

Listening Per il Listening sono sempre presenti 4 task per ogni prova. Le consegne sono sempre in lingua. Tutte le prove hanno sempre un esempio. Le tipologie degli esercizi sono varie come da richiesta: scelta multipla, matching, risposte brevi univoche, vero (true) e falso (false) e non dato (not given).

Gli ascolti sono sempre ripetuti due volte, con un intervallo di 5 secondi tra uno e l’altro; al termine del secondo ascolto, sono previsti 20 secondi di pausa per poter completare le risposte e controllare quelle gia date. Dopo ogni comando c’è una pausa di 20 secondi per consentire al bambino di osservare la pagina con attenzione.

Il Quadro di riferimento concettuale Il progetto English Training For INVALSI nasce dall’analisi delle linee guida, degli esempi delle prove ufficiali pubblicati il 19 dicembre 2017 e dal primo test di inglese del 3 maggio 2018.

INTRODUZIONE per lo sviluppo delle competenze al termine della scuola primaria delle Indicazioni Nazionali per il curricolo della scuola dell’infanzia e del primo ciclo di istruzione del 2007. Tali traguardi sono riconducibili al livello A1 del Quadro comune europeo di riferimento (QCER) per le lingue del Consiglio d’Europa e sono i seguenti: L’alunno comprende brevi messaggi orali e scritti relativi ad ambiti familiari.

Descrive oralmente e per iscritto, in modo semplice, aspetti del proprio vissuto e del proprio ambiente ed elementi che si riferiscono a bisogni immediati.

Interagisce nel gioco; comunica in modo comprensibile, anche con espressioni e frasi memorizzate, in scambi di informazioni semplici e di routine.

Svolge i compiti secondo le indicazioni date in lingua straniera dall’insegnante, chiedendo eventualmente spiegazioni.

Individua alcuni elementi culturali e coglie rapporti tra forme linguistiche e usi della lingua straniera.

Le Indicazioni Nazionali esplicitano inoltre gli obiettivi di apprendimento specifici per ciascuna abilita testata, da raggiungersi al termine della classe 5a della scuola primaria. Tale suddivisione rende significativa la lettura dei risultati delle prove e consente agli insegnanti e agli alunni stessi di individuare i punti di forza e le criticita dei percorsi di apprendimento.

PRESENTAZIONE

ENGLISH TRAINING FOR INVALSI Prepararsi a una prova INVALSI non è affatto semplice. È un percorso che richiede del tempo e un modo di lavorare un po’ diverso dal solito.

Per arrivare preparati ad affrontare la prova di quinta, bisogna mettere in campo molte risorse, conoscenze e capacità. Per questo è necessario che tu prenda dimestichezza con tutte le tipologie di esercizi previste e che tu conosca bene la struttura della prova.

Prima di iniziare ad allenarti con i test, abbiamo pensato di darti qualche suggerimento pratico proprio per aiutarti.

Ti consigliamo di leggere con attenzione le prossime pagine e di ritornarci ogni volta che non comprendi bene una consegna, o non ti ricordi come svolgere un esercizio.

Le sette prove presenti in questo libro hanno livello sempre crescente di difficoltà (tre per la classe 4a e quattro per la classe 5a).

Siamo sicuri che questo percorso potenzierà le tue capacità di comprendere la lingua inglese e ti consentirà così di affrontare la prova INVALSI di inglese alla grande!

! k r o w r u o y y o j n E

ISTRUZIONI PER L’USO

ENGLISH TRAINING FOR INVALSI: ISTRUZIONI PER L’USO GRAMMAR & GLOSSARY Prima di ogni test troverai tre pagine. Nelle prime due ci sono le più importanti strutture grammaticali e le principali regole della lingua inglese usate in quella prova. Nella terza pagina trovi il glossario con la traduzione delle parole usate in quel test per rinforzare le tue conoscenze dei vocaboli.

Le pagine GRAMMAR presentano regole che ti aiutano a capire meglio i testi che leggerai e che ascolterai durante il test.

Se non ti ricordi o non conosci una parola, aiutati con il GLOSSARY! In questa pagina trovi i vocaboli presenti nel test e la loro traduzione.

4

ISTRUZIONI PER L’USO

LA PROVA INVALSI E I Task La prova ufficiale INVALSI d’inglese della classe 5a è composta da due parti: quattro task di lettura (READING) e quattro task di ascolto (LISTENING).

Sono strutturate così anche le prove che trovi in questo libro.

I testi dei Reading e dei Listening variano molto tra loro.

Ogni task ha un argomento, un livello di difficoltà e una richiesta differente.

Vai a pagina 6 per sapere come puoi ascoltare tutti i testi grazie al QR code.

REGISTRAZIONE DEI RISULTATI Al termine della prova potrai registrare i risultati nella tabella.

In questo modo ti renderai facilmente conto, non solo di come hai saputo svolgere il test, ma anche di quale competenza fra la lettura e l’ascolto hai bisogno di potenziare.

Nella tabella potrai scrivere la risposta esatta, oltre alla risposta che hai dato tu.

Somma poi tutti i risultati parziali e scrivi il risultato totale.

Durante la correzione ricordati di registrare al piede di ogni task il numero di risposte esatte.

5

ISTRUZIONI PER L’USO

IL QR CODE Nelle pagine del tuo libro, per ogni test, all’inizio di ogni sezione di Reading e Listening, troverai un’immagine apparentemente senza senso composta da quadrati neri e spazi bianchi. Si tratta di un QR code.

QR code è uno speciale codice: i quadratini bianchi e neri sono disposti in modo differente a seconda delle informazioni che contiene.

MINIMALE PAGINA

Il suo nome deriva dalla lingua inglese: è la sigla della frase Quick Response Code. In italiano si può tradurre come “Codice a risposta veloce”. Il QR code è stato pensato per essere velocemente letto e interpretato tramite una fotocamera.

Infatti i QR code contengono delle informazioni che possono essere “decifrate” inquadrando il codice con la fotocamera di uno smartphone, di un tablet o di un PC. Con i QR code si accede a pagine internet che contengono tantissime informazioni diverse: testi, immagini, video, audio...

In questo libro i QR code attivano tutti gli audio di inglese, indispensabili per eseguire gli esercizi di Listening e prepararti alle prove INVALSI. Troverai però il QR code anche per la sezione di Reading dove ci sono i testi in inglese che dovresti leggere e comprendere in autonomia.

Se l’insegnante ti autorizza, se vuoi e se ti è utile, puoi ascoltare anche questi audio: avrai così a disposizione una pronuncia corretta che ti può accompagnare nella tua lettura.

Per scoprire come ascoltare gli audio direttamente con il tuo smartphone o il tuo tablet vai all’indirizzo www.hubscuola.it/hubsmart

6

ISTRUZIONI PER L’USO

COME È IL READING? CHE COSA VALUTA: Quanto e come comprendi un testo quando lo leggi.

DURATA: 30 minuti.

NUMERO DI LETTURE: 3 o 4 esercizi (task), ognuno dei quali è seguito da un minimo di 3 fino a un massimo di 8 domande di comprensione.

TIPOLOGIA DEI TESTI: Storie, mail, inviti, pagine di diario, dialoghi ecc. con un massimo di 110 parole.

Ricordati che grazie al QR code puoi ascoltare anche i testi del READING!

Le consegne Nelle prove INVALSI spesso è proprio difficile capire le consegne! È ancora più complicato comprendere le richieste dell’esercizio, se le consegne sono in lingua inglese.

Vediamo insieme le tipologie di consegne che potrai incontrare.

1 Tutte le consegne hanno la stessa impostazione: nella prima parte dicono che cosa devi fare e nella seconda parte c’è sempre un esempio.

Osserva sempre l’esempio, perché è un aiuto importantissimo: ti permetterà di capire subito l’esercizio.

2 Gli esercizi dei task hanno tipologie sempre ricorrenti.

Read the invitation. Answer the questions (1-6).

Use a maximum of 4 words. Write your answers in the boxes.

The first one (0) is an example.

Quali e quante azioni devi fare?

Le azioni richieste sono 3: 1 Read = Leggi 2 Answer = Rispondi 3 Write = Scrivi

Quando trovi questo tipo di consegna, devi leggere il testo e rispondere alle domande scrivendo al massimo 4 parole.

Per rispondere correttamente è necessario conoscere bene il significato delle Question Words (vedi p. 28).

7

ISTRUZIONI PER L’USO

Match the tickets (A or B) with the sentences (1-6). You can use a letter more than once. Write your answers in the boxes.

The first one (0) is an example.

Quali e quante azioni devi fare?

Le azioni richieste sono 2: 1 Match = Collega 2 Write = Scrivi

Questa consegna ti chiede di collegare immagini, biglietti, situazioni, contrassegnate da lettere, ad alcune frasi.

Attenzione: dovrai usare alcune lettere più di una volta (more than once)!

Read the text about Kimberly and her holiday.

Are the sentences 1-6 true, false or not given?

Put a cross (X) in the correct box.

The first one (0) is an example.

Quali e quante azioni devi fare?

Le azioni richieste sono 2: 1 Read = Leggi 2 Put a cross = Metti una crocetta

Questa consegna ti chiede di leggere e poi completare una tabella. Devi indicare se le frasi sono vere (TRUE), false (FALSE) o non specificate (NOT GIVEN).

Attenzione: NOT GIVEN significa che non è possibile risalire all’informazione perché nel testo non è scritta.

QUALCHE SUGGERIMENTO… PER IL READING 1 Ricordati che hai 30 minuti per svolgere 4 task.

Se impieghi 5 minuti per ogni task avrai tempo per ricontrollare.

2 Osserva bene la consegna, l’esempio e l’esercizio.

3 Leggi prima le domande, così saprai cosa devi cercare mentre leggi il testo.

4 Leggi almeno due volte il testo e non soffermarti troppo sui vocaboli che non conosci: magari non servono per svolgere l’esercizio!

5 Rispondi alle domande e se sei in difficoltà parti da quelle che hai capito meglio.

6 Ricontrolla prima di passare al task successivo.

8

ISTRUZIONI PER L’USO

COME È IL LISTENING? CHE COSA VALUTA: Quanto e come comprendi un testo quando lo ascolti.

DURATA: 30 minuti.

NUMERO DI ASCOLTI: 3 o 4 esercizi (task) ognuno dei quali è seguito da un minimo di 3 fino a un massimo di 8 domande di comprensione.

TIPOLOGIA DEI TESTI: Dialoghi o monologhi con durata al massimo di 2 minuti.

Grazie al QR code puoi disporre di un file contenente tutta la parte di ascolto.

Puoi così esercitarti anche a rispettare i tempi.

Le consegne Il LISTENING può essere molto complesso. Tuttavia, anche qui puoi seguire alcuni accorgimenti che rendono il compito più fattibile!

C’è una parte della consegna che rimane sempre uguale. Eccola: ...

The first one (0) is an example.

You will hear the recording twice.

You will have 20 seconds at the end of the second recording to complete your answers.

You now have 20 seconds to look at the task.

1 Ci sarà sempre un esempio.

2 Ascolterai ogni brano due volte (twice).

3 Avrai a tua disposizione 2 pause di 20 secondi l’una (you will have 20 seconds): la prima pausa è dopo la lettura della consegna per osservare e comprendere l’esercizio; la seconda è alla fine dell’audio per ricontrollare il tuo lavoro e completare l’attività.

Listen to Tina describing her friends.

Write the names in the boxes.

Quali e quante azioni devi fare?

Le azioni richieste sono 2: 1 Listen = Ascolta 2 Write = Scrivi

Devi ascoltare e scrivere i nomi comuni o propri accanto all’oggetto o alla persona di cui parla il testo di ascolto.

9

ISTRUZIONI PER L’USO

Listen to Laura. While listening, choose the correct answer (A, B, C or D) for questions 1-6. Put a cross (X) in the correct box. Only one answer is correct.

Quali e quante azioni devi fare?

Le azioni richieste sono 3: 1 Listen = Ascolta 2 Choose = Scegli 3 Put a cross = Metti una crocetta

Devi scegliere una sola risposta tra le quattro risposte possibili (Only one answer is correct). Possono essere disegni, risposte brevi o completamento di frasi.

Questo esercizio è sempre il più lungo.

Di solito due delle quattro risposte sono proprio improbabili.

Listen to someone talking about shops. While listening, match the shop (A-H) with the name of the owner (1-5).

Write your answers in the box. There are two pictures that you do not need.

Quali e quante azioni devi fare?

Le azioni richieste sono 3: 1 Listen = Ascolta 2 Match = Collega/Abbina 3 Write = Scrivi

L’esercizio consiste nell’abbinare (match) la descrizione che ascolterai con l’immagine corretta. Devi associare, nel box che trovi in fondo alla pagina, una lettera a un numero.

Attenzione: alcune figure non ti serviranno (you do not need), sono solo distrattori. Prima di ascoltare, osserva i disegni.

10

ISTRUZIONI PER L’USO

QUALCHE SUGGERIMENTO… PER IL LISTENING 1 Durante la lettura della consegna cerca di capire che tipo di esercizio devi affrontare.

2 La prima pausa dura 20 secondi. Leggi le domande e le risposte, osserva le immagini.

3 Nel corso del primo ascolto, completa solo le risposte di cui sei certo.

4 Dopo il secondo ascolto, devi completare l’esercizio.

5 Alla fine hai ancora una pausa per ricontrollare, prima di passare al task successivo.

6 Se il testo che ascolti ti sembra complesso, ricordati che spesso bastano poche parole per capire il senso del discorso.

Ricorda: Le short answers affermative non hanno la forma contratta!

GRAMMAR

TEST 1

CLASSE 4a

ATTENZIONE! In inglese troviamo il verbo essere anche in espressioni per le quali in italiano utilizziamo il verbo avere. Vediamone alcune.

I’m ten.

Ho dieci anni.

Hai fame?

Are you hungry?

Lui ha freddo.

He is cold.

Lei non ha paura.

She isn’t afraid.

Hanno ragione?

Are they right?

Noi non abbiamo sonno.

We aren’t sleepy.

I’m thirsty.

Ho sete.

Non hai torto.

You aren’t wrong.

Are you hot?

Avete caldo?

THERE IS/THERE ARE Come in italiano, il verbo essere si usa per dire “c’è” e “ci sono”.

There is è spesso seguito dall’articolo indeterminativo “a/an” (There is a cat. There is an umbrella).

There are invece è seguito da un numero o da some, many…

(There are two cats. There are some umbrellas).

TEST 2

CLASSE 4a

Prima di svolgere la prova, leggi con attenzione queste due pagine di ripasso grammaticale! Vedrai quanto ti saranno utili!

Varia solo alla terza persona e diventa HAS. GOT è un rafforzativo e rimane invariato.

Forma affermativa

Forma interrogativa Have I got?

Come per il verbo TO BE, anche per il verbo TO HAVE si usano le “short answers”, cioè risposte composte da SOGGETTO + VERBO. Per esempio: Yes, he has.

Has she got?

No, you haven’t.

Has it got?

RICORDA! Nelle short answers non si usa mai la particella GOT.

Have we got?

Have you got?

Have they got?

GRAMMAR

QUESTION WORDS Per rispondere correttamente alle domande, è necessario conoscere bene il significato delle QUESTION WORDS, cioè le parole che si usano in inglese per formulare domande.

What…?

Che cosa…? Che…? Quale…?

Where…?

Dove…?

Who…?

Chi…?

When…?

Quando…?

Why…?

Perché…?

How old…?

Quanti anni…?

How is/are…?

Come sta/stanno…?

How many…?

Quanti/quante…?

How much…?

Quanto…?

RICORDA! WHY…? si usa solo

nelle domande, per le risposte si usa invece BECAUSE. Per esempio: Why are you happy? I’m happy because I’m on holiday.

Per rispondere a HOW MANY…? si usa molto spesso un numero preceduto da THERE ARE. Per esempio: How many pencils are there? There are 3 pencils.

Per indicare una quantità non definibile, per esempio “alcuni”, “un po’”, “qualche”, si usa: • SOME nelle frasi affermative, • ANY nelle frasi interrogative e negative.

Per esempio: There are some oranges but there aren’t any lemons.

Is there any milk?

TEST 3

CLASSE 4a

GRAMMAR

Prima di svolgere la prova, leggi con attenzione queste due pagine di ripasso grammaticale! Vedrai quanto ti saranno utili!

Già nelle precedenti prove hai incontrato spesso gli aggettivi possessivi e il genitivo sassone. Sono due modi diversi per esprimere il possesso.

AGGETTIVI POSSESSIVI Pron. Pers.

Agg. poss.

Traduzione

RICORDA! Gli aggettivi possessivi in inglese:

I

My

Mio/a, miei, mie

You

Your

Tuo/a, tuoi, tue

He

His

Suo/a, suoi, sue

She

Her

Suo/a, suoi, sue

• concordano con il possessore, non (come in italiano) con la cosa posseduta.

Per esempio: her car = la sua auto (di una donna).

It

Its

Suo/a, suoi, sue

We

Our

Nostro/a, nostri/e

You

Your

Vostro/a, vostri/e

They

Their

Loro

GENITIVO SASSONE Per espressioni del tipo “il libro di Susan”, quando si vuole indicare che qualcosa appartiene a qualcuno, in inglese si usa il genitivo sassone.

Si forma in questo modo: POSSESSORE + ’S + OGGETTO POSSEDUTO Per esempio: Susan’s book.

• rimangono invariati nella forma singolare e plurale.

Per esempio: your pens = le tue penne, your pen = la tua penna.

• non sono mai preceduti dall’articolo.

Per esempio: my friend = il mio amico.

• per gli animali domestici (pets) di cui si conosce il sesso si usano her e his.

Per esempio: his tail = la sua coda (di un cane maschio).

ATTENZIONE! • Se i possessori sono più di uno e possiedono la stessa cosa, si mette –’s solo all’ultimo. Per esempio: Tom and Sam’s sister.

• Quando il possessore è al plurale e termina con –s, si aggiunge solo l’apostrofo. Per esempio: The kids’ toys.

GRAMMAR

TEST 1

CLASSE 5a

Prima di svolgere la prova, leggi con attenzione queste due pagine di ripasso grammaticale! Vedrai quanto ti saranno utili!

SIMPLE PRESENT Il SIMPLE PRESENT si usa per indicare azioni abituali, cioè che si svolgono regolarmente. Il SIMPLE PRESENT corrisponde al presente indicativo in italiano, ad esempio io mangio, tu suoni, lei corre…

Forma affermativa

Forma negativa estesa

Forma negativa contratta

I eat

I do not eat

I don’t eat

You eat

You do not eat

You don’t eat

He eats

He does not eat

He doesn’t eat

She eats

She does not eat

She doesn’t eat

It eats

It does not eat

It doesn’t eat

We eat

We do not eat

We don’t eat

You eat

You do not eat

You don’t eat

They eat

They do not eat

They don’t eat

Come vedi nella forma negativa si coniuga l’ausiliare DO, non il verbo che rimane invariato. Lo stesso accade nella forma interrogativa.

Forma interrogativa

Short answers

Do I eat?

Yes, I do./No, I don’t.

Do you eat?

Yes, you do./No, you don’t.

Does he eat?

Yes, he does./No, he doesn’t.

Does she eat?

Yes, she does./No, she doesn’t.

Does it eat?

Yes, it does./No, it doesn’t.

Do we eat?

Yes, we do./No, we don’t.

Do you eat?

Yes, you do./No, you don’t.

Do they eat?

Yes, they do./No, they don’t.

Con il SIMPLE PRESENT, come con il verbo TO BE e TO HAVE si preferiscono le “short answers” alle risposte yes/no.

In alternativa si possono dare risposte più articolate.

57

CLASSE 5a

TEST 1

GRAMMAR

ATTENZIONE! Se il verbo termina con -ch, -sh, -ss, -x, -o si aggiunge -es alla terza persona. he goes Per esempio: I go she watches we watch Se il verbo termina con -y preceduta da una consonante, si aggiunge -ies. she cries Per esempio: you cry Se la -y è preceduta da una vocale, si aggiunge semplicemente -s. he plays Per esempio: we play

AVVERBI DI FREQUENZA Usato per parlare delle azioni abituali, il SIMPLE PRESENT è di solito accompagnato da avverbi di frequenza che indicano quanto spesso avviene l’azione descritta dal verbo.

Gli AVVERBI DI FREQUENZA più comuni sono: mai often never raramente always rarely qualche volta usually sometimes

spesso sempre di solito

RICORDA! Gli avverbi di frequenza si posizionano tra il soggetto e il verbo.

Per esempio: She never gets up early!

Altre ESPRESSIONI DI TEMPO che puoi usare con il SIMPLE PRESENT sono: al mattino in the morning al pomeriggio in the afternoon di sera in the evening di notte at night

every day ogni giorno once a week una volta alla settimana twice a month due volte al mese on Sundays di domenica

RICORDA! Queste espressioni si posizionano in genere all’inizio o alla fine della frase.

Per esempio: On Sundays I play the piano.

GRAMMAR

TEST 2

CLASSE 5a

Prima di svolgere la prova, leggi con attenzione queste due pagine di ripasso grammaticale! Vedrai quanto ti saranno utili!

PRESENT CONTINUOUS Il SIMPLE PRESENT serve per esprimere azioni abituali nel presente. Per indicare invece le azioni nel momento in cui stanno accadendo, si usa il PRESENT CONTINUOUS. In italiano, si traduce con, ad esempio, io sto leggendo, Tom sta nuotando…

Il Present Continuous si forma: SOGGETTO + TO BE + FORMA BASE DEL VERBO SEGUITA DA -ing.

In italiano si può chiamare anche forma in -ing.

Forma affermativa

Forma negativa estesa

Forma negativa contratta

I am eating

I am not eating

I’m not eating

You are eating

You are not eating

You’re not eating

He is eating

He is not eating

He’s not eating

She is eating

She is not eating

She’s not eating

It is eating

It is not eating

It’s not eating

We are eating

We are not eating

We’re not eating

You are eating

You are not eating

You’re not eating

They are eating

They are not eating

They’re not eating

Forma interrogativa

Short answers

Am I eating?

Yes, I am./No, I’m not.

Are you eating?

Yes, you are./No, you aren’t.

Is he eating?

Yes, he is./No, he isn’t.

Is she eating?

Yes, she is./No, she isn’t.

Is it eating?

Yes, it is./No, it isn’t.

Are we eating?

Yes, we are./No, we aren’t.

Are you eating?

Yes, you are./No, you aren’t.

Are they eating?

Yes, they are./No, they aren’t.

Con il Present Continuous si possono usare le short answers o anche le risposte complete.

ATTENZIONE! In alcuni casi la risposta comporta un cambio di verbo. Per esempio: What is Tom doing?

He is feeding his dog.

73

TEST 2

CLASSE 5a

GRAMMAR

Il PRESENT CONTINUOUS si usa soprattutto con queste espressioni: in questo momento

at the moment now

ora

right now today

proprio ora oggi

SIMPLE PRESENT E PRESENT CONTINUOUS In italiano si può usare “Dove vai?” oppure “Dove stai andando?”. In inglese, invece, è importante non confondere le azioni abituali, per le quali si usa il SIMPLE PRESENT, con quelle che indicano un’azione in corso che hanno bisogno del PRESENT CONTINUOUS. Per esempio: I usually drink coffee, but I’m drinking a cup of milk now.

Tom is going to school by bike today, but normally he goes to school on foot.

RICORDA! • Se i verbi terminano con -y, non ci sono variazioni, aggiungi -ing seguendo la regola generale.

Per esempio: play

playing

• Nei verbi che terminano con -e, togli la “e” e poi aggiungi -ing.

Per esempio: have

having

• Nei verbi monosillabici che terminano con una consonante preceduta da una vocale, raddoppia la consonante prima di aggiungere -ing.

Per esempio: get

getting

In alcuni casi la forma -ing ha valore di nome: cooking

la cucina

running

la corsa

reading

la lettura

dancing

la danza

painting

la pittura

swimming

74

il nuoto

TEST 3

CLASSE 5a

Prima di svolgere la prova, leggi con attenzione queste due pagine di ripasso grammaticale! Vedrai quanto ti saranno utili!

SIMPLE PAST: TO BE Negli ultimi due test sono stati previsti alcuni task dove è presente il SIMPLE PAST, cioè il tempo verbale che serve per esprimere un’azione che si è conclusa nel passato.

Forma affermativa I was You were He was She was It was We were

Il Simple Past si forma aggiungendo was dopo la prima persona singolare e dopo le terze persone, per tutte le altre persone si usa were.

Si usa Simple Past per le azioni concluse, anche se da poco.

Per esempio: I’m at the park, but this morning I was at home.

You were They were

Forma negativa estesa

Forma negativa contratta

I was not

I wasn’t

You were not

You weren’t

He was not

He wasn’t

She was not

She wasn’t

It was not

It wasn’t

We were not

We weren’t

You were not

You weren’t

They were not

They weren’t

La forma negativa può essere sia estesa sia contratta.

La forma contratta è la più usata.

89

CLASSE 5a

TEST 3

GRAMMAR

Forma interrogativa

Short answers

Was I?

Yes, I was./No, I wasn’t.

Were you?

Yes, you were./No, you weren’t.

Was he?

Yes, he was./No, he wasn’t.

Was she?

Yes, she was./No, she wasn’t.

Was it?

Yes, it was./No, it wasn’t.

Were we?

Yes, we were./No, we weren’t.

Were you?

Yes, you were./No, you weren’t.

Were they?

Yes, they were./No, they weren’t.

Con il Simple Past si possono usare le short answers o anche le risposte complete.

RICORDA! Si utilizza il Simple Past soprattutto con queste espressioni: ieri • Yesterday La scorsa settimana/lo scorso mese/ • Last week/month/year l’anno scorso un’ora fa • One hour ago

COMPARATIVO DI MAGGIORANZA Nelle prossime due prove, incontrerai anche il comparativo di maggioranza.

Vediamo come si forma: AGGETTIVO + -ER + THAN + SECONDO • Con gli aggettivi monosillabici TERMINE DI PARAGONE Per esempio: This dog is oldER THAN that one.

MORE + AGGETTIVO + THAN + SECONDO • Con gli aggettivi plurisillabici TERMINE DI PARAGONE Per esempio: This sofa is MORE comfortable THAN that armchair.

RICORDA! Ci sono alcune eccezioni: • Quando l’aggettivo monosillabico termina con -y, allora la -y diventa -i. drier Per esempio: dry • Quando l’aggettivo monosillabico termina con consonante preceduta da vocale, allora la consonante si raddoppia. bigger Per esempio: big

GRAMMAR

TEST 4

CLASSE 5a

Prima di svolgere la prova, leggi con attenzione queste due pagine di ripasso grammaticale! Vedrai quanto ti saranno utili!

SIMPLE PAST Forma affermativa I opened You opened He opened She opened It opened

Il SIMPLE PAST dei verbi regolari si forma aggiungendo -ed alla forma base del verbo.

Se il verbo termina con -e si aggiunge solo -d.

Il SIMPLE PAST non si coniuga e quindi rimane invariato per tutte le persone.

We opened You opened They opened

Forma negativa estesa

Forma negativa contratta

I did not open

I didn’t open

You did not open

You didn’t open

He did not open

He didn’t open

She did not open

She didn’t open

It did not open

It didn’t open

We did not open

We didn’t open

You did not open

You didn’t open

They did not open

They didn’t open

La forma negativa si costruisce con l’ausiliare did (passato irregolare di to do) e la forma base del verbo seguita dalla negazione not.

La forma contratta è più frequente rispetto a quella estesa.

105

CLASSE 5a

TEST 4

GRAMMAR

Forma interrogativa

Short answers

Did I open?

Yes, I did./No, I didn’t.

Did you open?

Yes, you did./No, you didn’t.

Did he open?

Yes, he did./No, he didn’t.

Did she open?

Yes, she did./No, she didn’t.

Did it open?

Yes, it did./No, it didn’t.

Did we open?

Yes, we did./No, we didn’t.

Did you open?

Yes, you did./No, you didn’t.

Did they open?

Yes, they did./No, they didn’t.

La forma interrogativa si forma con l’ausiliare did seguito dal soggetto e dalla forma base del verbo.

IL SUPERLATIVO Il superlativo in inglese si forma in due modi diversi a seconda della quantità di sillabe che formano l’aggettivo.

AGGETTIVO MONOSILLABICO

SUPERLATIVO

dark

the darkest

strong

the strongest

AGGETTIVO PLURISILLABICO

SUPERLATIVO

beautiful

the most beautiful

interesting

the most interesting

Come in italiano tutti i superlativi sono preceduti dall’articolo.

Per esempio: Tom is the strongest boy in my classroom.

Lisa is the most interesting girl in town.

RICORDA! • Se l’aggettivo monosillabico termina con una consonante preceduta da vocale, the biggest la consonante si raddoppia. Per esempio: big • Se l’aggettivo monosillabico termina con y, la y si toglie e si aggiunge -iest.

Per esempio: pretty the prettiest • Il comparativo di good è better, il superlativo è the best.

• Il comparativo di bad è worse, il superlativo è the worst.
