L'anno scolastico è stato avviato con un ripasso delle principali strutture grammaticali apprese nel corso
dell'anno precedente. In particolare modo sono state esaminate le seguenti strutture: passivo, discorso
diretto e indiretto, condizionale e periodo ipotetico (tipo zero, 1° tipo, 2° tipo, 3° tipo). E' stato, inoltre,
presentato il Present Perfect Continuous, il cui uso è stato analizzato in contrasto con il Present Perfect
Simple. Durante il corso del pentamestre è stata effettuata una preparazione curricolare all'esame PET
(Reading/Writing/Listening/Speaking).
