Lesson 3: Verb To – be
Use of the simple present of to be

The principal use of the simple present is to refer to an action or event that takes
place habitually, but with the verb "to be" the simple present tense also refers to a
present or general state, whether temporary, permanent, or habitual.

➢ I am happy.
➢ She is helpful.
➢ The verb to be in the simple present can be also used to refer to something true
at the present moment.
➢ She is 20 years old.
➢ He is a student.

6
 Remember:

▪ I, you, he, she, it, you, they are subject pronouns (also called
personal pronouns, a term used to include both subject and object
pronouns.)
▪ am, are, is are forms of the verb to be in the simple present.
▪ 'm, 're, 's are short (contracted) forms of am, are, is
▪ 'm not, aren't, isn't are short (contracted forms) of am not, are not, is not.

Lesson 6: Numbers

6.1. Cardinal Numbers

The cardinal numbers are the numbers that are used for counting something.
These are also said to be cardinals. The cardinal numbers are the counting
numbers that start from 1 and go on sequentially and are not fractions.

The examples of cardinal numbers

are:
1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,
20…

The cardinality of a group represents the number of objects available in that

group.

1. There are 6 clothes in the cupboard.

2. 4 cars are driving in a lane.
3. Anusha has 2 dogs and 1 cat as pets in her house.

Cardinal numbers define how many things or people are there. For
example:

• Five men are standing on a ship.

• There are eight fruits kept in a basket.

1
These numbers are written in English in the same way as we write numbers in
words. For the first 10 numbers, we can write as,

6.2. Ordinal Numbers
An ordinal number is a type of number that is used to represent the position or rank
of an object or a person. The sequence of ordinal numbers will vary depending on
the parameters, based on which the positions are defined, such as size, weight,
marks, etc. The ordinal numbers are also simply called ordinals.

Real – life examples of Ordinal Numbers

➢ Ram came first in class

➢ Sarita was the third girl standing in a row
➢ Mohan stays on the fourth floor of the apartment
➢ The table is kept at the sixteenth position in the display of the shop

Ordinal Numbers 1 to 50
The list of ordinal numbers from 1 to 50 is given

Difference Between Cardinal, Nominal and Ordinal

Numbers

Apart from ordinal numbers, the other two types of numbers, which are used
to represent objects or people are:

• Cardinal Numbers

• Nominal Numbers

Cardinal Numbers: The counting numbers which are used to represent the
number of objects or people are called Cardinal numbers. They are: One, Two,
Three, Four, Five, Six, Seven, Eight, Nine, Ten and so on.

Example:

• There are eight men standing in a row.

• The basket contains ten apples.

1
Nominal Numbers: The numbers which are applied to name the objects in a
group, are called nominal numbers. Using these numbers, it is easy to identify
objects or a thing in a collection of things.

Example:

1. Vehicles numbers like KA 05 1220, etc.

2. Pin codes of different cities
3. Player number in a match

Ordinal Numbers: The numbers that express the positions of an object or

a person. The examples are:

• The white car is standing in the third position

• The city came second in drastic air pollution

• Mona won the medal of first position in the Olympiad

Lesson 10: Possessive adjectives and Possessive Nouns

10.1. Possessive adjectives

Possessive adjectives are used to show possession or ownership of something.
While we use them when we refer to people, it is more in the sense of relationship
than ownership.
The possessive adjective needs to agree with the possessor and not with the thing
that is possessed.

Examples

• My car is very old.

• Her boyfriend is very friendly.
• Our dog is black.
• Their homework is on the table.

Like all adjectives in English, they are always located directly in front of the noun
they refer to. (Possessive Adjective + Noun). We do not include an S to the
adjective when the noun is plural like in many other languages.

Examples:

• Our cars are expensive. (Correct)

Ours cars are expensive. (Incorrect)

However, the verb that is used needs to be in agreement with the noun - if the
noun is singular then the verb is singular; if the noun is plural then the verb is
plural.

2
Example

• My pen is black. (Singular)

My pens are black. (Plural)
• Our child is intelligent. (Singular)
Our children are intelligent. (Plural)

Practice:

2
10.2. Possessive Pronouns

A possessive pronoun is a part of speech that attributes ownership to someone or

something. Like any other pronoun, it substitutes a noun phrase and can prevent its
repetition. For example, in the phrase, "These glasses are mine, not yours", the
words "mine" and "yours" are possessive pronouns and stand for "my glasses" and
"your glasses," respectively.

This is our house. It's ours. This

is my bedroom. It's mine. This is
my brother's bike. It's his.

Practice:

29
Lesson 11: Adjectives (personality and physical appearance)
There are two ways to describe people in English. You can describe
people’s
appearance and personality.

You can describe a person’s personality by saying things

like:

• She is really nice

• They are really cool friends
• We are very friendly people

You can describe a person’s physical appearance by saying things

like:

• She is really tall

• She has brown eyes
• She has black curly hair.

Something that you have to keep in mind is that there are positive and negative
things that you can say about someone’s personality and appearance so I strongly
advise to be cautious when using some of the words presented here.

3
These are examples that include some of the positive and adjectives to
describe personality in English.

1. He is shy, he never talks to anybody

2. She is talkative, she never stops talking
3. I consider myself lazy, I don’t like to work hard
4. He is always kind with new students

3
5. My dad is optimistic, he thinks everything is going to be alright
6. We are very bright students
7. They are very funny; they always make friends laugh.
8. She is quiet, She never says much
9. He is a very honest man; he will tell you the truth
10. She is jealous, she doesn’t want others to win.
11. I am very brave; I face dangerous and difficult situations.
12. Mike is clever, he is good at learning things.
13. He is an easy-going guy, definitely a guy who is easy to get along with.
14. James is so lucky; he bought a lottery and he won.
15. Lucas is tidy, his desk is well organized.
16. Maria is very irresponsible; she never does her homework.

Lesson 13: Comparative and superlative adjective

13.1. An adjective
Adjective: A word or phrase naming an attribute, added to or
grammatically related to a noun to modify or describe it.

13.2. Superlative adjective

A superlative adjective expresses the extreme or highest degree of a quality. We
use a superlative adjective to describe the extreme quality of one thing in a group of
things. We can use superlative adjectives when talking about three or more things
(not two things).

As with comparative adjectives, there are two ways to form a

superlative adjective:

• short adjectives: add "-est"

• long adjectives: use "most"

We also usually add 'the' at the beginning.
