II. Learning about grammar

1. Reading and thinking

Turn to page 2 and read with me the text of A PROTECTOR OF AFRICAN WILDLIFE. As you read on, pay attention to the forms of sentence predicates and the subject-verb agreement shown in the sentences.

(For reference: Our group are..., Watching a family of chimps is..., Nobody before has fully understood...)

2. Doing exercises No. 1 and 2 on page 5

Turn to page 5. Look at the two sentences: Our group are all going to visit the chimps in the forest. And Our group includes six boys and five girls. Have you noticed any difference between them? Yes. If the word "group" refers to different members, use a plural verb. If the word "group" is considered as a whole, use a singular verb. Now fill in the blanks with the proper form of the given verbs in brackets on page 5. And then go on to do Exercise No. 2 on the same page, that is, fill in the correct verb form in the letter.
