Hi classmates:

We started the lesson by reviewing common mistakes like the correct use of present perfect, when we mustn't use the article "the", the problem of translation into English +of "estábamos" and "estuvimos" and some questions -relacionated +related to -with the vocabulary.

Then, we learnt -[to forming] +[how to form] nouns and gerunds: nouns are formed by adding suffixes as -ment, -ist or -ism; and gerunds are formed by adding the suffix -ing to the verb. Moreover, we did exercises about it (page 21, Practice 1 and 2).

We learnt that, although we can +sometimes write in the same way a noun and a verb, they -can +could be pronounced differently (e.g. a delegate and to delegate).

At last, the teacher explained -us the -contractive +contrastive stress: a word -[changes his] +[could change its] meaning -depends -depending if it's a noun or a verb (we can check this rule here, where +there are many examples: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B8fHm0gXl9BONDVjMTk5MTItMjA3Yy00MGM4LTg5ZTctYmVlNTY2ODZlOTU2/edit )

That´s all, folks! See you!
