Unit 1: Formal "I WANT TO" vs non formal "I WANNA" (Quiero)

UNIT 1: WANT TO 
In formal English we say:
 - I want to go waterskiing - I want to go horse riding - I want to eat - I want to drive.
 In non formal English (especially American English) we say:
- I wanna go waterskiing - I wanna go horse riding - I wanna eat - I wanna drive.

Watch this ad (anuncio) of Hamilton and Rosberg (Formula 1 pilots) and write whether they say "want to" or "wanna".

Devil's pool. Victoria Falls

Dr. David Livingstone, the Scottish missionary and explorer, discovered Victoria Falls in 1855. It is in Africa, in Zimbabwe and Zambia. Livingstone named his discovery after the name of Queen Victoria, but the indigenous name Mosi-oa-Tunya- literally "the smoke that thunders". It is not the highest nor the widest waterfall, but it is claimed to be the largest. Look this video about Devil's Pool.

Opposite or in front of? See the difference.



  • La preposición "in front of" significa delante de:


  • The bus is in front of the school.El autobús está delante del colegio
    The monument is in front of the church.El monumento está delante de la iglesia
    The dog is in front of the kitchen.El perro está delante de la cocina



  • Mientras que la preposición "opposite" significa "enfrente de". Su diferencia con la anterior es que "in front of" indica delante, pero puede ser tanto de frente como de espalda, mientras que "opposite" implica siempre de frente:


  • In the queue, he was in front of me.En la cola él estaba delante de mí  (dándome la espalda)
    The sargent stood opposite the soldiers.El sargento estaba enfrente de los soldados (mirándoles a la cara)
    My house is opposite the park.Mi casa está enfrente del parque
