Lesson Comments
We started out talking about our long weekend and Joshua´s upcoming trip to Virginia. We then reviewed the concept of the comparative of adjectives to make sure he is able to work on the exercises I had copied into our Google Docs file for him to work on during his trip. These exercises also focus on practicing the use of dependent clauses as well as useful phrases to give a reason.
