Last year in July I went to Paris. I went with my family to visit some museums
and to visit my sister who lives there. On the first day it rained, but it didn’t
matter because we visited the Louvre. It was enormous! We spent all day there,
and in the evening we went to a restaurant in the city centre. I ate coq au vin,
which is a typical French dish. I had a great time!

page 17Read the follow extracts and decide which hotels they went to.
Julian:
Last year, I went to Spain to relax on the beach. I went by myself, but I met my
friends who live there. The hotel was fantastic, it had a swimming pool and wifi
in my room. The staff were really great and they spoke in English so I could
understand them.
Anna:
In September I went on a group holiday to Morocco. The hotel was really cheap
and full of young people. The hotel helped us book a hiking tour in the Atlas
Mountains and gave us information about the city. We had a really great time.
Emma:
I remember my holiday. It was in 1998 and I went by myself to London. I wanted
to practice my English and I wanted to stay in a cheap place where I could meet
people. The hotel was really dirty, and the food was terrible. The weather was
OK, but it was not hot like it is in Sicily. I had a terrible time!
Joshua:
In the summer holidays I went to Australia with my family for a month. The hotel
was disappointing, the website said they had internet access but when we
arrived it was broken. On the website, the hotel said the rooms were ‘spacious’
but when we got there they were tiny! In the end we changed our hotel and had
a good time.
1. Do you want a cheap place to stay in the UK? Come to the Hotel Ritss in
London where you don’t have to spend a lot of money to visit the city.
We have lots of clients so you can meet new people. You can enjoy our
traditional British cuisine and sleep in our tidy rooms.
2. At our four star residence on the beach you can enjoy free wifi in your
bedroom and our beautiful swimming pool. All our staff speak English and
can help you with anything – from hiking to biking! Give us a call!
3. Do you want a place near the beach where you can relax and surf the
‘net? Search for us on the internet – Oz Hotel, where you can sleep in our
spacious and well‐designed rooms.
4. If you are a student, book a room in our Youth Hostel. Our staff will give
you information about the city and can book your hiking tour in the
nearby mountains. If you are on a group holiday, this is the perfect place
for you!
page 185 Auxiliaries (Verbi Ausiliari)
In lingua inglese I verbi ausiliari hanno le seguenti proprietà.
– Formano le frasi negative al presente e al passato senza l'aggiunta di don't,
doesn't e didn't
i.e. She isn't a bad person I wasn't happy
– Formano le frasi interrogative al presente e al passato senza l'aggiunta di do,
does e did
i.e. Are you ready? Can you swim? Were you there?
– Per formare il presente e il passato hanno generalmente delle forme proprie
i.e. John is tall Mike had a dog when I was a child
page 19• La forma negativa si costruisce con do not e il verbo all'infinito senza to. Alla terza
persona singolare si usa does not nello stesso modo.
I do not work she does not work
Io non lavoro lei non lavora
Nel parlato e nei testi scritti informali si usano le forme contratte don't e doesn't.
I don't work she doesn't work
Quando si usa?
• Realtà che sono sempre vere/ verità assolute
The sun rises in the east
Il sole sorge a est.
• Azioni abituali
Every day I wake up at 7.30
Ogni mattina mi alzo alle 7:30.

never --> My bus never arrives on time.
•Il verbo have, spesso seguito da got, corrisponde al verbo avere in italiano con
accezione di possesso:
Forma affermativa:
I/you/we/they have (got) he/she/it has (got)
Forma negativa:
I/you/we/they haven't (got) he/she/it has't (got)
Forma interrogativa:
have I/you/we/they (got)? Has he/she/it (got)?
•Secondo le regole del British English, come riportato quì sopra, essendo have un verbo
ausiliare come be non necessita nella costruzione di negative e interrogative di do e does
tuttavia nell'inglese americano il verbo have viene usato come un verbo qualunque e usa
per tanto do e does nelle negative e nelle interrogative.
*Nota Bene: il verbo have è ausiliare solo quando esprime possesso !
Esempio: I haven't a car --> possesso
I don't usually have lunch --> uso particolare (fare colazione)
Exercises
Put the verbs into the correct form.
