Guía didáctica: Communicative Grammar III After answering these questions go to the “Grammar Presentation” section. You will see the example of both an affirmative and negative statement which use the infinitive to express the purpose of an action. In “Grammar Notes” you will read explanations and examples about infinitives of purpose. I hope this point is easy to understand. Now you can begin to work on the sections “Focused Practice” and “Communication Practice”. After doing the activities in the aforementioned sections you can move on to the next grammar point. 7.5 Infinitives with Too and Enough You will begin this part with a comprehensive reading of a transcript of a radio talk show about voting rights for people under age 18. Do the activities called “Before you Read” and “After you Read” in your textbook. These activities are short and easy. By the way, the following cultural note will help you in your reading: CULTURAL NOTE “In the United States and Canada, people are considered adults for most purposes when they reach the age of 18. At that age, they can vote, sign contracts, get married, and serve in the armed forces without needing permission from their parents or guardians. In the United States, young people cannot purchase alcohol until they are 21.” Tiberio (2006) I hope this information is helpful. How about answering the following comprehension questions? Exercise: Why does Kyle want the right to vote? _______________________________________________________________ Why does Tina want the right to vote? _______________________________________________________________ What would Micah like to decide for herself? _______________________________________________________________ What contradiction does Kyle see in the law? _______________________________________________________________ After completing the exercise above, look at the charts in the section “Grammar Presentation” in your textbook. You will see the structure of sentences that use infinitives with too and enough. Then read the section “Grammar Notes” in which you will learn about the use of the infinitive with too and enough. If you have any problem understanding these sections, don’t hesitate to contact me. Now you can begin to work on the sections “Focused Practice” and “Communication Practice” in your textbook. Remember that these sections help you practice the structures that are being studied. Once you have practiced by doing the aforementioned exercises move on to the last point of this unit.
