2. La posició normal d’aquests adverbis és abans del verb i normalment el verb és amb el verb

en Present Simple:

- I sometimes read comics ( a vegades llegeixo còmics)

3. En frases negatives l’adverbi de freqüència també va abans del verb:

- I don’t often play football ( no jugo a futbol gaire sovint)

4. Amb el verb to be, però, l’adverbi de freqüència va després del verb:

- We are always happy (sempre estem contents)

Observacions en l’ús dels pronoms d’objecte:

1. La traducció d’aquests pronoms al català té diverses possibilitats :

me (anglès) es podria traduir per “em, m’ , -me , ‘m “ (català)

Així doncs, per facilitar el seu aprenentatge serà molt millor aprendre com funcionen en anglès

directament.

2. Tenint en compte que els pronoms sempre substitueixen un nom que apareix a la frase

inicial, observa els següents exemples on la posició dels pronoms és molt fixa:

a) darrera un verb: Do you like tea?(singular) I’ve got my books (plural)

Do you like it? I’ve got them

b) darrera una preposició : I play tennis with Mary This present is for Jason

I play tennis with her This present is for him (algunes de les preposicions en anglès són : with, for, at, to, in, on, about, of , over, by . . . )

WRITING : Translation / Traducció 10. How do you translate the following sentences into Catalan? Be careful : all of them

contain an object pronoun : Com traduiries les frases següents al català ? Vigila que totes porten algun pronom d’objecte: 1. Is football your favourite sport? Yes, I like it a lot

.........................................................................................................................................

2. We are in her P.E. class. She teaches us . “teach = ensenyar”

.......................................................................................................................................................................

3. I like sports magazines. I buy them at the weekend.

.........................................................................................................................................

4. My sister plays the piano and I often listen to her ..........................................................................................................................................

11. Complete the sentences with the correct object pronouns. Have a look at the list: Completa les frases amb els pronoms d'objecte correctes. Mira la llista:

a) Robert is my friend. Do you know .........................................?

b) Mr Landy is our teacher. He teaches ............................. History.
