Compound Nouns:
- elicit from SS the formation, meaning and stress pattern of the worlds.
- the meanings of these compounds take the meanings of both elements of the expressions.
- like most compound nouns, these compounds have the main stress on the first part.
Activity 1 Matching to make compound nouns (task a, p197)
-Ask SS to complete each of the sentences with a noun from the table in task a or a correct form of the verb given in the box.
-Tell SS to compare answers in pairs.
-Call on SS to read their completed sentences and check the answers with the whole class.
Activity : gap-filling (task b, p197)
- Ask SS to read the sentences and fill in each space with a suitable word from the list
- Tell SS to compare answers in pairs and then go over the answers with the whole class.
Can , could and be able to:
- elicit from SS sentences with can, could and be able to and then distinguish between these structures.
- sentence structure with can and be able to + infinitve: in the present tense, be able to is more formal and less usual than can
- we always use be able to , not can in these structures: to-infinitive, after a modal verb, present perfect.
- sentence structure with couldn’t and was / were able to.: we use could or was / were able to for general past ability or opportunity in the past.
To say that the ability or opportunity resulted in a particular action, something that really happened ( specific past action) , we use was/ were able to but not could
We can use either form in negative sentences or questions : couldn’t or wasn’t/ weren’t able to 
We normally use could ( not was/ were able to) with verbs the senses ( see, smell, taste , hear) and verbs of thinking ( understand, .)
Activity 1 : conversation completion (task a, p.198)
- Ask SS to read the sentences in the task and rewrite them using the passive structure.
-Tell SS to work with a partner and compare answers.
-Call on SS to write their sentences on the board and check with the class.
Activity 2: error recognition
- give each student a handout
- tell SS that some of the sentences are correct and some are in correct.
- Ask SS to correct the incorrect sentences and check the correct ones
