Here you have the adverbs of frequency we worked in class, as well as their position in the sentence
![position freq adv.png](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/bebe89_e79bd021d4934c6683ddc044752eb705~mv2.png/v1/fill/w_460,h_156,al_c,q_85,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,enc_auto/position%20freq%20adv.png)
WATCH OUT!!!
WE USE "HARDLY EVER" AND "NEVER" WITH AFFIRMATIVE SENTENCES!!
Maria hardly ever goes to bed late.
Maria never goes to the cinema.
PAST SIMPLE
![RULES VERS PAST.png](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/bebe89_af14e23934c4459899578f0084912d33~mv2.png/v1/fill/w_684,h_345,al_c,lg_1,q_85,enc_auto/RULES%20VERS%20PAST.png)
TRAVEL, LABEL, MARVEL.
If it is CVC, but the last letter is an L, we double the L:
"travelled, labelled, marvelled"
sin embargo, los podemos ver de ésta otra:
-
TraveLed
-
LabeLed
Las dos son perfectamente válidas. En USA ellos lo hacen simple, sin doblar. Así que técnicamente ambas formas serían correctas. Aunque es mejor que si lo hacemos todo el Británico, ésto también, porque es más correcto no mezclar ambas pronunciaciones.

This week we have been working on the political topic, learning some vocabulary to end up creating an invented political party.

Plus, we have learnt quite a lot of vocabulary, we will use it in class during our "class electoral campaign".
