Activities Reading Skills – Sample Text Writing Skills – Preparation Lesson The Werewolf
In folklore from around the world, a werewolf is a human with the ability to transform into an unusually ferocious wolf. Active only at night when the moon is full, this creature eats men, women and children, and livestock, ripping out their throats with his claws and fangs. In some stories, a man who becomes a werewolf is the unwilling victim of bad genes, a curse or a bite from another werewolf as in the case of Professor Remus Lupin the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher at Hogwarts. Professor Lupin dislikes being a werewolf and hates the harm he causes and his inability to control his actions. Sentence Types
Simple (one independent clause): Mrs. Dursley was thin and blonde.
Compound (more than one independent clause): Mrs. Potter was Mrs. Dursley’s sister, but they hadn’t met for several years.
Complex (one independent clause and at least one dependent clause): In the end, Hagrid agreed that they could send an owl to Charlie and ask him.

Phrasal Verbs Definition A phrasal verb is a verb followed by an adverb: verb + adverb
Phrasal verbs can be:
intransitive (no direct object): I don’t like to get up.
transitive (direct object): They turned down my offer. Separable Phrasal Verbs
When phrasal verbs are transitive (that is, they have a direct object), we can usually separate the two parts.
For example, "turn down" is a separable phrasal verb. We can say: "turn down my offer" or "turn my offer down".
