Unit 4: Object Pronouns


"Talk to Her" is a famous drama film by Pedro Almodovar. In it, Pedro Almodovar tells us the story of Benigno. Benigno is a male nurse and from his window he looks at Alicia. With the passing of time Benigno is in love with her. When Alicia suffers a car accident and Benigno finds her in his hospital, he spends his days taking care of her, but she can't say to him, "Thank you".

In the text there are some object pronouns in bold. Who do they refer to? (Benigno, Alicia, Almodovar, the viewers or the film)

Now you can try these activities, but remember we use object pronouns after transitive verbs or after prepositions.

Object Pronouns I
Object Pronouns II
Object Pronouns III

UNIT 3: Goldilocks and the Three Bears



The three bears live in a little house in the middle of the forest: big Father Bear, medium-sized Mother Bear and little tiny Baby Bear. They never change their daily routine.

For example, Mother Bear always cooks a big pot of porridge for breakfast and then she does the housework. Father Bear gets up very early in the morning and gets dressed to go to work. And Baby Bear usually sleeps in bed until 8 o'clock when Mother Bear wakes him up. Baby Bear only goes to the forest with his friends twice a week.
