Read and do exercises for workbook Chapter 11 (only
sections 11.1 and 11.3.1)
Vocabulary: This week you will begin learning
semi-productive and irregular forms and multi-word items.
Semi-productive forms are those that do not follow the
normal pattern of the language, but that do follow some
sort of a pattern. For example, the past tense in English
is normally denoted by -ed; however, there are
semi-productive forms like drink-drank, swim-swam and
sing-sang. These forms follow a pattern, just not the
normal one. Irregulars, on the other hand, do not follow a
pattern. An irregular in English would be go-went.
Multi-word items are sequences of words that occur together
frequently and in a fairly fixed pattern. These items
should be a great deal easier than the individual items you
have learned because you have already seen them in the
lists and over and over in the listening activities.

the “verbal repetition” (=VR) on the meaning pages of the
“flashcards” one should right click and open in a new
tab.
