In English, Good morning is a common expression.
People tend to use it when they meet family, friends, or
colleagues in the morning for the first time. Informally, it
is often shortened to Morning.
Good afternoon and Good evening are reserved for more
formal situations. With family and friends, people tend to
use Hi or Hello instead.
See you later (or the shortened version See you) is a
common alternative to Goodbye.
Note the stress: Good morning, Good afternoon, Good

In Australia, speakers tend to say Good day (abbreviated
to G’day) as an alternative to Hi. In different parts of the
US, you may hear people use Hey or Howdy rather than Hi.
People usually say Hi or Hello when they answer the phone.

THE FIRST AMERICANS
Geronimo: Apache hero

June 16th, 1829–February 17th, 1909
There are now twenty-three countries and

twenty-three nationalities in North, Central, and
South America. In the past, there were different
groups of people in America. The Inca people
lived in a large area of South America. The Maya
people lived in Central America. And people in
Mexico were part of the Aztec Empire. In North
America, the Apache, the Navajo, the Sioux, and
other Native American groups lived in different
areas.
The Inca Empire was famous for its roads.
There were roads on the west coast of South
America, from the north to the south. The Maya
people were famous for their writing and math
systems. In Mayan math, a dot was “one” and
a bar was “five.” The capital city of the Aztecs
was Tenochtitlan. Mexico City is in the same
place. The words chocolate and tomato were
Aztec words.
Famous rulers in South America were
Tupac Amaru, an Inca ruler, and Moctezuma, an
Aztec ruler. One famous Apache was Geronimo,
but he wasn’t a ruler. Geronimo was born on
June 16th, 1829. When he was a young man,
there was a war between the US government
and Native Americans. Geronimo was a war
hero. He died in 1909.

A different kind of weekend
172
Joel Connor works in an office in Kansas. His job
is a typical nine-to-five, Monday-to-Friday job. On
weekends, he does something different. He helps
people build houses for free. Every weekend,
there’s a new project. This weekend, Joel is helping
Jill and Scott Eller. You can see him in the photo.
He’s moving a large blue board. All of the people in
the photo are “weekend builders.”
These “weekend builders” are from the small town
of Greensburg in Kansas. A year ago, a tornado
hit their town. After the tornado, the community
started a project to build new homes. The goal is to
build a total of thirty homes.
Joel says, “I heard about the tornado and the
new project. I knew some people in Greensburg. I
wanted to help.” Joel is working with Jill and Scott
Eller to build their dream house. They’re making
the house tornado-resistant—that’s why it has an
unusual shape.
The Ellers’ house is now almost ready. Next
weekend, Joel is moving to a different project. Why
does he do this on weekends? “I have time, I can
help people, I make friends, and it’s fun! So
why not?”

contracted forms with the apostrophe.
Most English nouns have no gender. As a result, the
pronouns he and she are only used to refer to people

refer to boats and ships).

ideas, animals, etc.

contracted to we’re and they’re. We only tend to use the
full form when we are emphasizing or contradicting, e.g.,
Yes! We are French! For this reason, it’s important to teach
and encourage the use of the contracted forms.
Negative forms of be
Grammar notes
In spoken English, the negative forms of be are almost
always contracted. We only tend to use the full forms
(am not, is not, and are not) when we are emphasizing
or contradicting.
Note that am not is shortened to ‘m not, whereas is not
and are not are shortened to isn’t and aren’t. It’s also
possible, but less common, to say he's not/she's not/it's not,
as well as they're not/we're not. However, it is wrong to say
I amn't.
Questions with the verb be
Grammar notes
In English, questions with the verb be are formed by
inverting or swapping the position of the subject and the
verb, and by adding a question mark:
Statement: Question:
You are French. Are you French?
He is OK. Is he OK?
When answering, the speaker shortens the answer because
it’s unnecessary to repeat the information in the question:
Question: Short answer:
Are you French? Yes, I am (French).
Is it cold? No, it isn’t (cold).
In English, the word you can be both singular or plural:
Are you English? Yes, I am. (one person)
Are you from Germany? No, we aren’t.
(two or more people)

In English, we sometimes use the present continuous to

the future. This is sometimes described as the “diary”
future because it’s generally used to talk about things you
could put in your diary. In order for us to use the present
