For homework, students should do ALL of the remaining verb exercises (i.e. 'Exercise 23' to 'Verb Tense Final Tense') on the following page: We then learned about Location Prepositions.  Those of you who missed this class are HIGHLY encouraged to read the PowerPoint at home (this was emailed to you at the beginning of term) and to do the homework exercises which can be found here:
