One of my guys has been kidnapped. I don’t know if the Anti Magick Alliance took him or if it was the Human Extinction League. But I do know I’ll do whatever it takes to get him back.

As my powers surge, and the fierce love I feel for my mages intensifies, a discovery no one expected is about to change everything.

Qui si lavora in particolare su una delle forme più importanti dell'inglese parlato reale: le domande indirette. L'obiettivo è permetterti di interiorizzare con naturalezza le strutture interrogative complesse, spesso usate per essere più gentili, meno diretti o più articolati. Un volume indispensabile per entrare nel cuore della lingua reale, imparando non solo a "dire le cose", ma a comunicarle nella forma più naturale, gentile ed efficace possibile.

Dopo aver costruito e impresso nel subconscio i fondamenti della lingua inglese nei volumi precedenti, con questo quinto volume entri nella fase avanzata del metodo.

In questo volume lavoriamo sul pensiero del futuro, cioè sulla capacità di costruire, esprimere e comprendere forme verbali proiettate in avanti, fondamentali nella lingua inglese per la comunicazione quotidiana, la progettualità e la relazione.
