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

Ellen ah 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 Michelle she is Yuta

and finally we will look at the

contracted forms of the verb to be your

your Pedro he's he's Marcin she's she's

ootah so let's get started our screen is

going to help you understand everything

personal subject pronouns we have the

first person I am 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

mum 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 M for example I and 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

ok 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 you're 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 mighty we are is where you are

again becomes your and they are they're

like when Ellen ah in the sitcom

describes her brothers they're big boys

well I don't know about you but I'm

exhausted after all this studying and I

bet you're tired too

big family doesn't she what about you

do you have a big or a small family I

have a small family like Agatha me my

husband Dylan he comes from sunny

California and he's a radio DJ and lady

Coco my fluffy cat but anyway to the

lesson 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 hi 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 do
