Narrate, Describe Duration & Report

I can connect a narrative, describe duration, use basic relative clauses, and report simple speech.

What you will learnConnect events clearly, express ongoing duration, link descriptive information, and relay simple speech.
What you are learningUse sequencing, duration frames, relative que/donde, reported statement/question frames, and five guided viewpoint shifts.
How to know you're readyGive a changed connected narrative or explanation that includes duration, a relative relationship, or a reported message. Reveal can help you learn; try the same skill again without Reveal to check yourself.
Lesson 1

Connect a Narrative

What you are learning:I can connect several events into a short narrative using sequencing expressions.

Use sequencing expressions to make event order clear. The connector organizes chronology; it does not choose the tense for you.
