Football vocabulary

British Council

We have already seen the difference between football and soccer in this blog. Today I present you with a great collection of games and exercises on football vocabulary. Many of my students are great football players so I recommend you to learn this new vocabulary on the field, the players, the clothes, the equipment, the vocabulary the referees use in the field, the one used by the supporters, cup competitions or even the English teams to which you may go in the future.

Do you like football? Then, give it a try!! ;-))

Be used to, get used to; I used to know these things

While you are listening to this fantastic song by Gotye (there are some mistakes in the Spanish translation), you can have a look to the explanation in the chart below about these three quite similar terms; there is another good explantion at Peter's Blog inglés (in Spanish).You can also do the  exercises I am going to propose you.

USED TO DO (INFINITIVE)	GET USED TO DOING (GERUND)	BE USED TO DOING (GERUND)
Past habit or state	Process of acquiring a habit	Actually having the habit.
Verb in personal form (used to changes), already in the past: I used to eat a lot. I didn’t use to eat a lot. Did  you use to sleep a lot?	Verb in the infinitive, we can find it in present, past or future (used to remains unchanged): I got used to eating little. I didn’t get used to eating so little. Did you get used to eating so little?	Verb in the infinitive, we can find it in present, past or future (used to remains unchanged): I was used to eating little. I wasn’t used to eating little. Were you used to eating so little?

You can practise this at the following pages:

• English Grammar Secrets
• Using English.com
• The British Council
• Inglés Mundial to work on translations.

So, tell me, are you getting used to using the blog to study English?
