Grammar Review :
- Question sentences
"Are you flying together?"
"How much luggage have you got?"
"How much luggage have you got?"
Question sentences ask for information. They end with a question mark.
examples :
- Is the boy still growing?
- Will it rain today?
- Do you have a smaller shirt?
- Will it rain today?
- Do you have a smaller shirt?
- Directive sentences
"Come on! take your suitcase and follow me."
"put all your valuables in the basket."
"put all your valuables in the basket."
Directive sentences give commands or make requests. They may also be exclamations. If so, they will end with an exclamation mark.
examples :
- Don't drip on the carpet.
- Get a smaller shirt.
- Stop showing off!
- Get a smaller shirt.
- Stop showing off!
- Sequencing
"First we need to check in"
"Next we're going through passport control"
"Next we're going through passport control"
We use words like : to begin with, firstly, first at all, secondally, next, later, then, lastly, to finish up, finally ... to organize our sentences in a logical order of events. We call them connectors of sequence.
examples :
- First of all you have to read the recipe. Next you have to buy the ingredients. Then you should preheat the oven. While the oven is preheating, mix the ingredients together and put them in a pan. After that, let the cake bake for 20 minutes. Lastly, take the cake out the oven and ice it.
- First check the flight number. Then go to the check-in desk. Next go through passport control. After that, check your gate number. Then you can do the shopping in the dutyfree shops. After that, go to the departure lounge and wait for your flight. Finally, board the plane.
