  • Hello everyone and welcome to your first English lesson!

  • My name is Gabrielle and l'm here with you to teach you some English.

  • Did you see the first episode of our story? ln our sitcom today,

  • Elena, the Spanish student, arrives at Agatha's house.

  • Elena is very brave - going to England, a new country,

  • to study the language!

  • Don't you think?

  • Anyway, are you ready to start the lesson?

  • First of all you are going to learn personal subject pronouns,

  • like l, l am Gabrielle, you, you are my student...

  • Then we are also going to study the verb 'to be',

  • you are Pedro,

  • he is Marcel,

  • she is Ute. . .

  • and finally, we will look at the contracted forms of the verb 'to be',

  • you're Pedro,

  • he's Marcel,

  • she's Ute. . .

  • So, let's get started:

  • our screen is going to help you understand everything!

  • Personal subject pronouns. We have the first person, 'l', l'm Gabrielle,

  • and the second 'you', you are my student.

  • Then we have the third person singular 'he', which is masculine,

  • he is my father,

  • my dad!

  • 'She' which is feminine,

  • she is my mom, she is Diane...

  • and 'it' for things and animals.

  • Then we have the first person plural

  • 'we', we are friends now!

  • And the second person plural, 'you' which is the same as the second

  • singular, you're my students.

  • This is an important point, we say 'you' for one person

  • and 'you' for many people.

  • Finally we have the third person plural, 'they', they're our books.

  • Excellent!

  • Now it's very important to remember that with the first person singular

  • 'l' we always use a capital letter.

  • 'l am your teacher'. Ok?

  • ln English, we don't have different pronouns

  • for formal and informal situations.

  • You can use 'you' with a young boy or 'you' with the Queen of England!

  • lf you want to make a situation less formal, you can say

  • 'call me by my first name'

  • - like when Agatha said to Elena 'call me Agatha, you're part of the family now'.

  • Do you remember?

  • Now, are you a little tired?

  • Maybe just a little. . . but we have a bit more to learn today.

  • So let's look at the verb 'to be'.

  • First we have 'l am', for example 'l am Gabrielle'

  • 'l am American'. Then we have 'you are', 'you are French'

  • or 'you are... tired.'

  • Then 'he, she or it is' for example

  • 'he is Jack',

  • 'she is Diane',

  • 'it is a cup of tea'.

  • Then

  • 'we are', we are Brazilian, we are ltalian,

  • we are Spanish.

  • Remember, 'you' in the plural form is the same as in the singular form

  • so we can say

  • 'you are funny' to talk about one person or lots of people.

  • Then finally we have 'they are'

  • for example 'they are heavy'. Ok? Great!

  • Now, when we are speaking in English, we often use the

  • contracted form of the verb 'to be',

  • so instead of 'l am Gabrielle' we say 'l'm Gabrielle'. 'l am' becomes 'l'm'.

  • Do you remember in the sitcom today, Agatha said

  • 'you're part of the family'?

  • Well,'you're' is the contraction of 'you are'. 'He is' becomes 'he's'

  • 'she is' 'she's' and 'it is' becomes 'it's' - it's. . . my tea'.

  • 'We are' is 'we're'. 'You are', again becomes

  • 'you're' and 'they are' 'they're', like when Elena in the sitcom describes

  • her brothers - 'they're big boys.'

  • Well, l don't know about you, but l'm exhausted after all this studying,

  • and l bet you're tired too!

  • See you soon for our next lesson!

  • Bye!

Clean and polish, neat and tidy...
