[Music]
hello everyone and welcome to your first
english lesson
my name is gabrielle
and i'm here with you
to teach you some english
did you see
the first episode of our story
in 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
i
i
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 utter
and finally we will look at the
contracted forms of the verb to be
your
your pedro
he's
he's marcel
she's
she's utter
so let's get started
our screen is going to help you
understand everything
personal subject pronouns
we have the first person
i
i'm gabrielle
and
the second
you
you're 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 person
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
i
we always use a capital letter
i
am your teacher okay
in 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
if 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
i am
for example
i
am gabrielle
i
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
and
she is diane
it is a cup of tea
then
we are
we are brazilian
we are italian
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
okay
great
now when we are speaking in english we
often use the contracted form of the
verb to be
so instead of
i am gabrielle we say
i'm gabrielle
i am becomes
i'm
do you remember in the sitcom today
agatha said
part of the family
well
your 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
there
like when elena in the sitcom describes
her brothers
their big boys
well i don't know about you but i'm
exhausted after all this studying
and i bet you're tired too

today we are going to talk about the
conjugation of some regular verbs in the
present simple
and
some city names in english
well
before we start
let's have a look at ways of greeting
people with the help of our screen
greeting people is very important in any
language
when we greet people in english we can
say hello
to everyone
or
hi
to family and friends as high
is less formal
we can also say
good morning good afternoon
or
good evening depending on the time of
day
when people are leaving we say
see you
see you soon
goodbye
bye
or
good night if it is night time
when you leave someone you can also say
have a nice day
there are many ways of greeting people
in english aren't there
now
are you ready for some grammar
so
the conjugation of regular verbs in the
present tense
with the verb to come we have
i come
you
come
he
comes
she
comes
it
comes
we
come
you
come and they come
we always use the word come apart from
the third person singular where we use
comes
this is the same in all regular verbs
you just add an s to the verb with he
she or it
easy right
we can say
i come from london
he
comes from boston we come from san
francisco
they come from glasgow
okay
let's look at another verb
to live
we can say
i live in madrid
you live in moscow and
he lives in chicago
remember what we do with the third
person singular
we add an s at the end
lives
agatha's brother
lives in sydney remember
finally let's look at the verb to work
i work
you work
he works
she works
it works
we work
you work
they work
do you remember where agatha's boyfriend
works
he works in a bank
dylan my husband
works in a radio station
they
work in a restaurant
now restaurant is a french word
we often use french words in english
mary works in a boutique
jack works in a hotel
okay so now let's look at some other
city names in english
