Подробности урока
This is a conversation course. We will talk about the book and your favourite parts. You can read a few pages before each lesson, and I will make sure you understand what happens in the book. You will feel great when you can retell all the most interesting details of this fun story! My students are learning a lot of English with this book, and I hope you will enjoy it, too.
If you want extra grammar exercises for private study, I can provide those, too.
Homework Samples:
if / whether – yes–no questions
Used to report questions that could be answered with “yes” or “no”.
Harry asked Uncle Vernon if he could give him a lift to King’s Cross.
→ Direct: “Can you give me a lift…?”
→ if introduces the embedded yes–no question.
Harry asked the guard if he knew anything about the train at platform nine and three‑quarters.
The twins asked their mother if she remembered which of them was Fred and which was George.
Ron asked Harry if anyone was sitting in the compartment and if he could join him.
Fred and George asked Harry whether he really was Harry Potter.
Ron asked Harry if he really had the scar in the shape of a lightning bolt.
Grammar points:
Word order is statement order, not question order:
Direct: “Is anyone sitting…?” → Reported: “if anyone was sitting…”, not “if was anyone…”
if and whether are similar here; whether is a bit more formal.
wh‑words (what / where / why / how / which)
Used to report questions with a question word. The wh‑word becomes the link word of the embedded clause.
Uncle Vernon asked Harry where this wizard school was.
→ Direct: “Where is this wizard school?”
→ Embedded: “where this wizard school was.”
Harry told him that he didn’t know where Hogwarts was.
→ wh‑clause: “where Hogwarts was” inside “he didn’t know…”
Harry asked Uncle Vernon why they were going to London.
→ Direct: “Why are we going to London?”
→ Embedded: “why they were going…”
Harry overheard the red‑haired boys’ mother asking what the platform number was.
→ “what the platform number was,” not “what was the platform number.”
Mrs. Weasley … told him how to get onto the platform.
→ “how to get,” a “how” infinitive clause.
The twins asked their mother if she remembered which of them was Fred and which was George.
→ which of them was Fred and which was George are embedded wh‑clauses.
Harry told Ron that he couldn’t remember what had happened the night his parents died.
→ “what had happened…” is a wh‑clause; verb order is like a statement.
Ron explained that his family were all wizards and told Harry how many brothers he had.
→ “how many brothers he had” is another wh‑clause.
Ron admitted that he was worried about which house he would be sorted into.
→ “which house he would be sorted into” is a wh‑clause.
that‑clauses (statements)
Used to report statements (not questions).
The twins’ mother told Ginny that she was not old enough to go to Hogwarts yet.
Harry told Ron that he couldn’t remember what had happened.
Ron explained that his family were all wizards.
Ron admitted that he was worried.
