I think that it is a very good experience for learning more about Grammar. I had never used a blog. In the beginning was very complicate because I didn´t know use this blog.
It´s a good and dynamic form to teach and learn English.
I want to know your opinion about these lab sessions?
I enjoyed much this class, I learn too much about grammar and I did exercises
The class was very interesting.
Is there anything you would change? Or you wouldn't change anything?
I think that the lab session could be in the English Lab, because sometimes we were interrumpidos for other students.

Session 1
Miss I made a mistake I forgot to published in my blog
I`ve just put it in the comments. sorry
1.What did you learn today?
ZERO CONDITIONAL
The zero conditional:is a structure used for talking about general truths, things which always happen under certain conditions. THE STRUCTURE IS
If+ Simple Present+ Simple Present
for example :If my brother eats too much pizza, he gets sick
If the "if" clause comes first,a comma is usually used. If the "if" clause comes second, there is no need for a comma:
for example :Ice floats if you drop it in water.
