English for Beginners

Today's class is for English language beginners.

Three letters from A to Z: A + B + C the first letters to start speaking English.

A for an Apple B for a Ball C for a Car

The words apple, ball, and car are substantives (proper nouns). Nouns are used to identify any of a class of people, places, or things (common noun), or to name a particular one of these (proper nouns).

A + AN + THE

Articles above are used before nouns. In English grammar, articles (a, an, the) are words that precede nouns to specify whether the noun is definite or indefinite. "The" is the definite article, used when referring to a specific noun already known to the listener/reader. "A" and "an" are indefinite articles, used when referring to a general noun or a noun not previously mentioned. 

'For' is a Peposition

We use 'for' to indicate a purpose or a goal. For example, the letter A is 'for' apple,

aeroplane, astronaut, activist, anticipation, actor, achiever, audience, admiration.

The letter B is 'for' ball, bug, bat, bus, buns (plural), Bill Gates, banker, boat.

The letter C is 'for' car, cab, cat, criminal, cafe, cake, camera

ADJECTIVES

We can use adjectives before nouns to emphasis colour, size, etc. Adjectives are used to describe or modify nouns and pronouns, providing details about their qualities or characteristics. They answer questions like "what kind?", "how many?", or "which one?" about the noun they modify. 

A yellow cab (taxi). A brown boat. A green criminal.

Learning English is an ongoing subject. It takes time to perfect. However, if you are determined you will improve consistently.
