Present Simple. Grammar with songs.

My youngest students (1º eso) also want to hear her voice.
"All The Man That I Need" is a song easy to understand.

A. We are working with the present tense now, so think of the possible verbs Whitney uses and fill the blanks.

"All The Man That I Need"
I used to cry myself to sleep at night
But that was all before he came
I thought love had to hurt to turn out right
But now he's here
It's not the same, it's not the same
[Chorus:]
He .......... me up
He .......... me love
More love than I've ever seen
He's all I've got,
He's all I've got in this world
But he's all the man that I .............
And in the morning when I .............. his eyes
He takes me down and ............. me slow
And in the evening when the moon is high
He ............. me close and won't let go
He won't let go
[chorus]

THE CHRISTMAS SONG - Nat King Cole ft Natalie Cole

THE CHRISTMAS SONG - Nat King Cole ft Natalie Cole
lyrics:
Chestnuts roasting on an open fire,
Jack Frost nipping at your nose,
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir,
And folks dressed up like Eskimos.

Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe,
Help to make the season bright,
Tiny tots with their eyes all a-glow,
Will find it hard to sleep tonight.

They know that Santa's on his way
He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh,
And ev'ry mother's child is gonna spy,
To see if reindeer really know how to fly.

And so I'm offering this simple phrase,
To kids from one to ninety-two,
Although it's been said
Many times, Many ways
Merry Christmas to you.

[musical interlude]

And so I'm offering this simple phrase,
To kids from one to ninety-two,
Although it's been said
Many times, Many ways
Merry Christmas to you.

This is Halloween.

Lyrics | Danny Elfman - This is Halloween lyrics

9/11

I was profoundly impacted 10 years ago, and I still feel the pain.
Like every year, I’d like to send my love to those who lost someone in the tragedy.
I'll never forget that day.
The redesigned area makes us understand that "They" were irreplaceable.

Practise should, shouldn't, will and pres. perf. with "The Young Ones"
