Grammar Lesson be (am,is,are)
In this week's English language grammar lesson, I present the verb 'be'.
'Be' is a very important verb in English grammar. By the end of this English language grammar lesson, you will be an expert in using the verb be!
This lesson is packed with simple and clear grammar explanations, interactive grammar practice as well as some pronunciation practice - with listen and repeat routines.
I will present two important functions of the verb be. Be helps us to give more information about the subject of the sentence. We also use be in many useful set expressions - set phrases that you can learn and memorise as 'chunks' of language. Learning language in chunks will help you to be more fluent.
In this lesson, you will also learn some important grammar terminology. What is a noun phrase? What is a pronoun? What is a contraction? What is the subject of a sentence? All of these words and more are explained in this lesson.
Don't forget to tell me in the comments what 'pineapple' is called in your first language!
Good luck with your English language lesson!
