05:46

position
07:35
and we will work with a scream let's
07:39
look at that dinner the screen now this
07:42
is a moment when we focus on the grammar
07:45
so all the things that I said then had
07:49
the verb to be so let's look at the verb
07:53
to be here we are I am you are he is she
08:00
is it is we are you are and they are now
08:08
when we speak in English we contract the
08:12
form so that I am becomes I'm you are
08:17
becomes your he is becomes he's she is
08:24
she's it is it's we are where you are
08:32
you're they are there okay so there is
08:39
quite a difficult pronunciation there
08:42
they are there now let's look at the
08:46
sentences I'm your teacher you're my
08:50

09:11
our story that's life there was some
09:13
phrases using the verb to be for example
09:16

13:02
good now let's continue with our lesson
13:07
about the verb to be but this time we're
13:10
going to study the negative form so
13:13
listen to me again I'm not english i'm
13:19
welsh in a whale's wales scotland
13:23
england wales i'm welsh and I'm not a
13:29
teacher I'm a singer you know singer
13:33
letter that are there well but don't
13:37

13:43
in English yet you aren't fluent but you
13:48

13:56
rich he isn't famous and he isn't tall
14:02
but he's still wonderful ah she yes she
14:08
isn't a pedigree and she isn't very
14:13
obedient but she's smashing it yeah well
14:20
this hat it isn't very practical it
14:25
isn't very practical is it now we aren't
14:32
friends yet but we will become friends
14:37
so we aren't they those they vant
14:44
English music and they aren't cheap ok
14:51
so those are examples of the verb to be
14:54
in the negative and now it's time to
14:57
move to our language screen where we can
15:01
study the grammar together now like in
15:05
the positive for
15:07
we have a contraction in the negative
15:11
let's look at the negative I am NOT you
15:16
are not he is not she is not it is not
15:21
we are not you are not they are not now
15:26
to contract those when we speak we say
15:30
I'm not English you aren't you see that
15:37
and are not aren't difficult
15:40
pronunciation you aren't worried he
15:45
isn't famous she isn't obedient it isn't
15:54
comfortable we aren't relatives you
16:01
aren't fluent and they aren't cheap so
16:07
the difficult here is the pronunciation
16:09
of are not witches aren't okay aren't
16:14
good so that's the negative of the verb
16:18
to be and now it's time to go back to

29:27
difficult let me see what you got did
29:33
you get this whether it's difficult
29:37
especially this are it's difficult so
29:41
what I want to do now is will go to the
29:43
screen and I will explain how the
29:47
alphabet is divided into different
29:50
groups to help you remember okay so
29:54
let's look at the screen the first group
29:58
is with the sound eh and the letters are
30:02
a H J and K all right the second group
30:10
is with the sound e at the end so the
30:14
letters are b c d e g p T and V okay the
30:25
next group is with the sound eh for
30:29
example F L
30:32
m n s x and z in the middle z alright
30:40
next group is I the sound I and the
30:45
letters are I and why the next group is
30:51
0 which is the letter O and then you the
30:58
sound you and the letters RQ u and w and
31:05
then the last one is our and that is the
31:10
letter R and that's difficult now look
31:16
at the screen and let's have another
31:18
test so write this word ready k I look
31:30
at the screen t see he3 n what there you
31:48
go and what did you get did you get the
31:52
same as me this is the word kitchen not
31:58
easy is it if you follow that system it
32:01
really works now we also heard them
32:05
using numbers and I want to look at that
32:10
with you now at the screen again so the
32:14
easy numbers which I'm sure you know
32:17
already one two three four five six
32:23
seven eight nine ten okay from one to
32:30
nine we use on the telephone and we also
32:33
say on the telephone o or 0 the
32:38
Americans say 0 let's move on 11
32:44
12 now these are interesting numbers
32:48
that follow listen 13 14 15 16 17 18 19
33:02
19 now all of those numbers finish with
33:06
teen and if you are the age from 13 to
33:11
19 then you are called a teenager that's
33:16
where it comes from teenager okay great
33:20
now let's move on 20 21 22 23 24 25 26
33:27
27 28 29 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 and 100 I
33:42
think that's enough for now because
33:45
we've learned a lot of things we've
33:47
learned the alphabet and numbers so keep
33:50
practicing those because you're going to
33:52

47:18
are you now did you notice in that's
47:21
life the girls were very confused about
47:24
the time for dinner 830 930-1030 well
47:31
that's what we're going to do in the
47:33
lesson now is look at how you tell the
47:36
time in English and for that I need a
47:39
clock so here we have a clock now when
47:45
the hand is in this position on the hour
47:49
in English we say o'clock it's look at
47:54
this six o'clock now if we move the hand
48:00
into this position so it's 15 minutes
48:05
after we say it's a quarter past six a
48:10
quarter past six let's move it again and
48:16
here we have half past this is half past
48:22
six alright 30 minutes after half past
48:25
let's move again like this this is a
48:32
quarter to six a quarter to 45 minutes
48:38
all right now let's look at those things
48:41
on the screen because they're quite
48:43
difficult to pronounce all right let's
48:46
go and see them now so the questions
48:52
were what time is it or what's the time
48:58
then we said it's five o'clock with it
49:02
on the hour it's a quarter past two for
49:07
example it's a half past three and it's
49:12
a quarter to nine those are the examples
49:17
all right just with it hello hello yes
49:26
oh yes yes about the romantic weekend in
49:29
Paris yeah yeah yeah yes I'm very very
49:32
interested yes okay yeah um what time is
49:41
departure departure at nine-fifteen okay
49:47
and what time is a rival 1030 okay
49:52
that's good 1030 great and what about
49:56
the romantic dinner for two yeah in the
50:01
evening eight okay yes eight o'clock
50:04
that's perfect and then there was a boat
50:07
trip on the sin what time is that 845 in
50:13
the morning hmm that's a bit early okay
50:16
but that's fine and our departure from
50:19
Paris when is that ok good 340 in the
50:27
afternoon fantastic yes thanks great i
50:30
love it yes i'll book it ok great thank
50:34
you very much thank you yes bye
50:39
fantastic that is a holiday that I've
50:43
booked for my boyfriend and I for his
50:46
birthday for a romantic weekend now did
50:51
you hear when I was speaking I was using
50:54
digital time in English now let's look
50:58
at that on the screen digital time well
51:02
it's very easy because you just read the
51:06
numbers so for example 9 15 is 915 look
51:13
at the screen 1030 845 so very easy if
51:21
you know the English numbers digital
51:24
time is very easy now in English we use
51:28
the 12-hour clock so we say ten o'clock
51:33
in the morning we don't say ten o'clock
51:36
a.m. we say in
51:39
in the morning we say 340 in the
51:44
afternoon not PM 340 in the afternoon
51:50
okay and then we say seven o'clock seven
51:54
o'clock in the evening we don't use p.m.
51:58
so seven o'clock in the evening and then
52:03
for example 11 15 at night so in the
52:08
morning in the afternoon in the evening
52:12
and at night okay so that is telling the
52:18
time in English that's both normal time
52:21
and digital times so I think you'll find
52:24
that useful good well keep studying and
52:28
remember to come back and be with us
52:30
again at English today well you'll be
52:32

everyone and goodbye from me Lucy Ross
61:34
okay now let's have a look at some of
61:37
the vocabulary sanjeev and i just used
61:39
to talk about cinema first of all in
61:43
American English the word movies means
61:46
films a movie is a film and the movies
61:50
means the cinema let's go to the movies
61:54
is an invitation to go to the cinema
61:57
when we talk about cinema the word star
62:00
means a famous actor who plays principal
62:04
roles in films star is also a verb it
62:07
means to play a role in a film George
62:11
Clooney stars in many films we all know
62:15
what an actor is someone like George
62:18
Clooney who plays a role in a film but
62:21
what about Julia Roberts she's an
62:23
actress and actor is a man and an
62:26
actress is a woman the person who
62:30
directs a film like Steven Spielberg is
62:32
called a film director and the person
62:36
who writes a film is called a screen
62:38
writer George Clooney rights films so
62:42
he's a screenwriter he directs films so
62:46
he's a film director and he stars in
62:48
films so he's also an actor notice how
62:53
we always use the article are or an
62:56

film director we say he's a film
