I suspect that this might only be of interest to one person, but here's a pdf of the ppt slides we looked at today in relation to compound adjective formation. This is also a nice opportunity to copy and paste what we've produced at the beginning of our last two GVD classes.On Wednesday, GVD group 2 students described themselves as:
• Hard-working students
• Genius students
• Pre-sessional students
• Excellent students
• Lazy students
and tnen:
• a mixture of lazy and hard-working students
• a group of students
• a student group
A sign (I think) of progess, is that this morning we were able to produce this borderline-ridiculous and potentially untrue statement:
This is a wonderful group of extremely beautiful, young, reasonably child-like, successful, intelligent, hard-working Arabic-speaking students who come to university late almost every morning.
We also learnt that Mohammed is a trainee Olympic weight-lifter, but that's another story.
