Saint George's Day


Monday 21st April

Welcome back!

We really needed a holiday. In fact, Almudena and Andrea were still on holiday because they didn’t come to class on Monday!

Manuel, Nacho and María, thanks for coming!

You told me about your Easter. Easter holidays were nice, but they belong to the past. This is the reason why you told me about your holidays in the past!

Do you remember how we make questions in the past?
