Step 2 · Let's Practise

Common difficulties

The parts learners usually find hard in this lesson.

Pronunciation: Linking small words: 'I_am', 'She_is', 'We_are'

Chunks

Native speakers link the verb 'to be' to the word before it. Say it as one smooth chunk, not two separate words.

I_am happy

She_is here

We_are friends

It_is Monday

They_are students

Tricky ones — say it, then check

Recall

These are the parts beginners often get wrong.

Common difficulties

Practise

Slow down and choose carefully.

  1. How old ___ you?

  2. It ___ Monday today.

Answer, then check.

Step 3 · Let's Use It

Quick recap: 'to be' + 'have'

Strengthen the grammar from this lesson — a different route into it.

Quick explanation

Understand

Remember these two small verbs from Lessons 2–4. They are the engine of every easy sentence.

  • I am a student.
  • She is my sister.
  • We are happy.

Notice the pattern

Notice

Read the sentences. What is the same in each one?

  • I am a student.
  • She is my sister.
  • We are happy.
  • I have a book.

Choose the right form

Practise

One answer only. Take your time.

  1. I ___ from Brazil.
