Lesson #130: Present Simple with time words
Today’s lesson reviews a little from previous lessons and adds a new, very useful pattern for A1 English: talking about when something happens.
Short review from earlier lessons:
- We can use simple classroom words like listen, read, write, and repeat.
- We can also talk about regular habits and routines.
New learning:
- every day = each day
- on Mondays = each Monday / every Monday
- before = earlier than something
- after = later than something
- early = before the usual time
5 useful words:
1. every day — EV-ree day — each day
2. on Mondays — on MUN-dayz — each Monday
3. before — bi-FOR — earlier than something
4. after — AF-ter — later than something
5. early — ER-lee — before the usual time
5 simple example sentences:
1. I study every day.
Reading: ai STUH-dee EV-ree day
Meaning: I study each day.
Usage: This says a daily habit.
2. We have English on Mondays.
Reading: wee hav ING-glish on MUN-dayz
Meaning: We have English classes on Mondays.
Usage: This says a weekly routine.
3. I wash my hands before lunch.
Reading: ai wosh mai handz bi-FOR lunch
Meaning: I wash my hands earlier than lunch.
Usage: Use before + noun to show earlier time.
4. I rest after work.
Reading: ai rest AF-ter wurk
Meaning: I rest later than work.
Usage: Use after + noun to show later time.
5. She gets up early.
Reading: she gets up ER-lee
Meaning: She wakes up before the usual time.
Usage: early tells us the time is before normal.
Usage notes:
- Put every day after the verb: I study every day.
- Put on Mondays for a weekly day: We have English on Mondays.
- Use before and after with a noun: before lunch, after work.
- early is an adjective/adverb of time in simple A1 English.
Mini practice:
1. Say one thing you do every day.
2. Say one class or activity on a weekday.
3. Make one sentence with before.
