Full lessonExercises

Key points

  • In winter, it’s cold and rainy; in the mountains of Aïn Draham, it can be snowy.
  • Winter clothes: sweater, coat, scarf, gloves, socks and boots.
  • Verb + ing = the name of an activity: skiing, skating, sledging, reading.
  • We use these activities after go, like, love and enjoy: He goes skiing.
  • Between… and… = in the middle of two things.

Rules to remember

Verb + ing
ski ➡️ skiing, read ➡️ reading.
Spelling
Drop the e: skate ➡️ skating. Double the letter: swim ➡️ swimming, run ➡️ running.
Between
Aïn Draham is between Jendouba and Tabarka.

How to do it

  1. Take the verb (ski, skate, swim…).
  2. Ends in -e? Drop it.
  3. One vowel + one consonant? Double the last letter.
  4. Add -ing.

Example

In winter, I love making snowmen, and my cousin goes skiing in Canada.
