Are you a party animal?

Last class we worked with the Student´s book (pages 52-53 and 134-135 5A)
We talked about how to behave at a party when we don´t know anyone there.
The unit focused on the different uses of the to-infinitive.

We use to + infinitive:

1-after adjectives: It´s important to know the rules.
2-after some verbs (want, would like, remember, need, forget, etc.) Please, remember to bring your key.
3-to say why you do something (purpose) I went to the supermarket to buy bread.

Negative sentences

1-It´s crucial not to be late.
2-Try not to spend too much money.
3-She took the umbrella in order not to/so as not to get wet.

At the end of the lesson we listened to Elvis Presley´s song The Girl of My Best Friend. 
Skills: pages 11-12
