MODALS VERBS:

We found a web page called "free English lesson". It's in Google, in the first option. The page has a interesting information about these verbs and some examples too. If you don't understand something, it doesn't matter, because it's in Spanish and you must understand it. In this page there are grammar or vocabulary, so it isn't only about modals verbs.
We have learned how to use them. There are ten modals verbs:
can (poder)
could (podría)
may (puede)
might (podría)
 shall (auxiliar)
should (deber)
will (auxiliar)
would (auxiliar)
must (deber obligado)
ought to (debes de)
You can't use them without a principal verb and modal verbs are auxiliary verbs. Ought is the only modal which have to.

If you want to learn about it, you would go to this page.

Our web page with resources (Jaime and María)

http://anasenglishactivities.blogspot.com/search/label/GRAMATICA

We found this blog, looking for a web page. This blog talks about the english grammar for the spanish pupils and there is many activities like: songs, stories, culture, exercises, multimedia exercises, American partys, Anglo-Saxon partys, grammar, comercial english, games, movies, educative resources, European sections, tv programmes, and more...
We also found a modal verbs table, and we've learned that:
The modals verbs are:

cancould
maymight
shallshould
willwould
mustought to
And we use them when there are an ability, possibility, necessity or another condition of the main verb. These verbs are used with main verbs to make statements or ask questions. Conjugates have no manners or time and can not be used without the main verb. For example:  
They can come
Mike should walk
Can they come?
Should Mike walk?


In our opinion this blog is really good for us, because we can learn a lot. It has activities about english, and grammar. WE LIKE IT!

The modal verbs.

http://www.elearnenglishlanguage.com/

Modals verbs are a class of auxiliary verbs. Modal verbs are also called modal auxiliaries or simply modal verbs. There are ten English modal verbs:

Could / dog
May / Might
Shall / Should
Would / will
Must / ought to


These verbs express the mode of a verb: the ability, possibility, necessity or another condition of the main verb.
These verbs are used with main verbs to make statements or ask questions. Modal verbs haven0t got conjugations or time and can't be used without the main verb.

We learned all modal verbs, their uses and their order. Also we learned the time when used, in which places are most often used (U.S.A or UK) and also what they mean some modal verbs.
The page is very complete in content. It has a simple design that makes it simple and easy to read. Contains all modal verbs and their uses, and has done much to understand.

Trip to País Vasco

Last week we went to Pais Vasco. We went by bus and it was long, because the trip lasted twelve hours. We went to a camping in Navarra from the first day to the fourth day, there we did two trails, but it was raining. In the afternoons we had a free time and we had this time to nine o'clock (we had a dinner).
We visited the Guggenheim museum in Bilbao and a boy broke one sculpture.
Next day we went to San Sebastian to visit it, we saw the city, the beaches, the "peine de los vientos",...
Some people swam in the sea and played football in the beach (we liked the Concha's beach a lot). Then we went to the hotel and we did the bedroom's groups for sleep there. Last day we did another trail and then we visited some small towns for have lunch.
We think that the trip was a good experience for us and we enjoyed, because we had never gone to Pais Vasco. The landscape was really beautiful and the weather was bad.
Sandra and Marce.

Our trip to Pais Vasco 2011

We like this trip a lot because we had a good time with persons that we usually don't speak so much. 
The trip was really good, because we did some news things, like for example : we went to Concha's beach , we did a hiking in Navarra, we visit Guggenheim, we went to a spring (it was very nice), and we saw a painted forest called Ibarrola.
In San Sebastian we had three hours for free time,we went to the beach, had lunch in the city, visit the ''Peine de los vientos''  made by Chillida.
The day we visit Bilbao, when we were in Guggenheim, Pablo Becerra ( a boy of 2º B ) broke an sculpture. But the officer of the museum saw the video and it was accidental so we left the museum. We didn't like the hostel in San Sebastian because it was veeeeeeeery small, called Ameztagaña.
Personal opinions:

Antonio Morcillo:
I like this trip because I had a good time with my friends. I will like to return to País Vasco.

Laura Coll
This trip , for me is the best. Because I had a good time with persons that I usually don't speak with them, because we had a lot of free time, and because we visit a very nice place.

Alfonso Torrelo and Andrea Pinto

Alfonso's experience:
My experience is fascination, the landscapes are faboulus.
The Pais Vasco is in the north of Spain, and it's very wet. For this reason, the landscapes have got a lot of vegetation.
We traveled to the Pais Vasco in bus and it was 12 hours of way, but when we arrived to the Aralar camping, we were exciting  and tired. My favourite experience was the visit to San Sebastián there were fascination.

Andrea's experience:
I was in the school all time and it was so boring. I didn't do anything on this week.
The most funny things were the terror movies and the beehive.
We saw two terror films: La matanza de Texas y Saw VII, and the last movie was very bloodie.
Other day, kike and Josemi went to the school in drunken state, and it was so funny for me, but Charo didn't think so.
We pulled a beehive, and the bees chased us. I was afraid in this moment, but then i laughed with my friends.

Our trip in the Pais Vasco.

Elena:
I went to the trip with the school. On 9th of April we took the bus and started our trip. We traveled 12 hours and finaly we arrived to Navarra. In my bedroom we were 18 people, all girls. We were very tired, so we had dinner in the camping and went to sleep. But the first day anybody slept very well. We had a nice time in Bilbao, on 12th of April. First we visited the Guggenheim. When we were visiting it, Pablo Becerra broke a sculpture, and all the people went to saw it. In San Sebastián I met with my friend Candela, because she live there, and we went to "La playa de la Concha", and had lunch in the center. I fell in love of San Sebastián. Mundaka was amazing. The beach was beautiful and the people were very good. The last night we slept a little bit and we had a nice time in the bedroom. When we returned to Seville, I was very happy, but I didn't wanted to finished the trip.

Yaiza:
I went to school every days, because I didn't go to Bilbao. The firts day we broke a honeycomb with a oranges and with spotlights. Every days we saw a terror movies, but Marta didn't want. On Tuesday Kike and Josemi went to school drunk and Charo told with Kike's mum. On Wednesday we saw "Saw VII" and  "Zombieland" and Nano throwed flying cricket to Maria. On Thrusday, we saw "Texas Chainsaw Massacre"  and after we saw a people of 3º ESO without clothes, because they played a "La Piedra", if you have a stone in the corridors they weted you. And Friday I didn't go to school because I went to Bilbao.

our trip (CarlosCornejoHernandez)

I didn´t go to Pais vasco. My experiencie in the school was very funny, we watches films of terror. In the break we tore down a honeycomb, the bees stung all children who were below.
There were some children who did not come to school...I was all day at school. We wanted to see scary movies but did not let us see them marta. We were very few people in class

Our experience in Pais Vasco

We went to Pais Vasco on Saturday 9th April. This day we met at half past seven a.m and the trip was very long. We stoped in three places to relax and eat. We came to there at eight o'clock p.m. They organized us in grups to the rooms. The next day we did a path to the mountain and it was very long and intensive. When we arrived to the camping we had free time, then we ate and we "went to the bed". Next day, we did another path, it was more beautiful than the other. The landscape was amazing and we took many photos. The third day, we went to Bilbao, and we saw the Guggenheim museum. There, one boy of our school, encountered and crashed a piece of the museum. But nothing happened, because the cameras recorded the scene and it was an accident. The following days, we went to San Sebastián. We went to Concha beach and we ate there, and saw the landscape. We saw the Peine de los Vientos of Chillida. In the afternoon, we went to the shelter Ametzagaña. The penultimate day, we went to the pain forest and to Mundaka (a surfers village). The last day we returned to Seville, and we came at ten o'clock p.m.
Jaime: Is the best trip that I did with the school, it was very beautiful.
María: In this school trip, I learned a lot. We visited many places, and it was a good experience. I didn´t want to came back home.
Jiame Hernández y María Gómez

Cristina Castro and Julia Mason-Elliott

Our experience in the Pais Vasco:
We started our trip at seven o'clock. We were twelve hours in the bus, and we stoped every two hours. It was very long for us. When we arrived to the camping, we were very tired. We had dinner, then we had free time until eleven o'clock.
The firsts three days were walking in mountains and rivers, it was raining but it was beautiful for it self, the one that more impacted every one was the one in the river because the water was blue like in the films with all the plants next to it.
In the rooms we were with our friends, but in our free time we were meeting people for our school that we didn't knew a lot before. We talked with every body.
The city was very diferent that what we spected. The people was very frendly with us.
When we went to the Guggenheim museum, a child from our school had an accident. He broke a piece of the esposition. We were surprised by the Guggenheim and the art of inside. In the museum, there was a gigant dog made of flowers and a big spider made of metal.
Another day, we went to the beach. It was very special, and the water was cold. We were swimming in the sea, and it was fantastic, but very cold. When we went out of the water moast of the people didn't feel their legs.
In general, the experience was very beautiful. We will never goins to forget it. The beach, the museum, our friends...We want to visit it again! :)
