Key learning points

1. It is helpful to categorise vocabulary by theme when revisiting large numbers of words.
2. Form a closed question by swapping the position of the verb and subject. Add a question word for an open question.
3. In questions with reflexive verbs, only subject and verb swap position, and the reflexive pronoun follows the subject.
4. Modal (2-verb) questions swap the subject and 1st verb; the infinitive remains at the end.
5. When describing a photo, use the acronym PALM. It stands for People, Action, Location, Mood. Add your own opinions too.
