OP 12 - CLOSE-UP (1) - "Have to" for obligation; "as…as"; weak "was", "were", "for"<br />
- Let's practise the expression "have to"…<br />
NB: Pronunciation: / hQs t´/<br />
I'll say a sentence like "I want to go", and you say "I have to go ", OK?<br />
NB: Students are told on the tape not to worry too much about the TH in clothes.<br />
I want to go now.<br />
I want to meet Tom.<br />
I want to go to work.<br />
I want to do my homework.<br />
I want to go shopping:<br />
I want to buy some clothes.<br />
I want to buy a new jacket.<br />
- Now, the third person singular… ( hQs t´)<br />
She wants to go now.<br />
She wants to meet Tom.<br />
She wants to go to school.<br />
She wants to do his homework.<br />
She wants to go shopping:<br />
She wants to buy some clothes.<br />
She wants to buy a new jacket.<br />
- Let's practise the construction "as…as", pronounced /´z...´z/<br />
Paris…beautiful…<br />
London…interesting…<br />
New York…fantastic…<br />
Tokyo…expensive…<br />
Bangkok…hot…<br />
Helsinki…cold…<br />
Amsterdam…pretty…<br />
- We can use this expression another way - to compare two things…<br />
Rome…beautiful…Paris …<br />
Paris…interesting…London …<br />
Chicago…fantastic…New York …<br />
Hong Kong…expensive…Tokyo…<br />
Singapore…hot…Bangkok…<br />
Stockholm…cold…Helsinki…<br />
Copenhagen…nice…Amsterdam…<br />

- And to conclude, the weak pronunciation of "was" and "were", and the preposition "for". Let's do a<br />
little conjugation:<br />
Do a few yourself - or the whole thing - to get things started. Then let the students do a round or two.<br />
Try to get a natural weak pronunciation of unstressed "was", "were", and "for".<br />
I was there for a week. / You were there for a week. / He was there for a week. / She was there for a<br />
week. / It was there for a week. / We were there for a week. / You were there for a week. / They we<br />
there for a week.<br />
Repeat, à la Substitution Drill, with "for two weeks", "in New York", "for a month", "in Ireland", etc.<br />
