Review and summarize the grammar focus. Ask students to read and know how to use the sentences:
The subjunctive mood: It is used to express thoughts---wishes, suggestions, suppositions or something contrary to facts. Example 1: He acts as if he _____ drunk. A. is B. were Situation 1: He is showing a set of zuiquan. Choose B Situation 2: Now he has drunk 2 bottles of Maotai. Choose A Example 2: That girl acts as if she____ a boy. A. is B. were
The students will hear their teacher say, “She looks like a boy. She plays basketball better than boys. She is very active…. As a matter of a fact, is that girl a boy or a girl? A girl is a girl after all”. So they’ll know the answer.
Example 3: That boy talks as if he ______ everything in the world. A. knows B. knew
The students will hear their teacher say, “Is it possible the boy knows everything in the world?” So the answer is very obvious. ↘Step8 Exercise
