شرح كلمة بكلمة:

شرح الجمل جملة جملة:
1) I wash my hands before dinner.
النطق: ai wosh mai handz bi-FOR DIN-er
المعنى: أغسل يدي قبل العشاء.

أخطاء شائعة:
- لا تخلط بين before و after. الفعل الأول = before، والفعل الثاني = after.
- ترتيب الكلمات مهم في الإنجليزية.
- لا تستخدم sleep بمعنى "أرتاح"؛ المعنى الصحيح هو "أنام".
