English A1 Q&A Corrections #011
Topic: Question and Correction Practice with what / who / how many
Lesson overview:
In this lesson, we practice three very common beginner question words:
- what = for things and information
- who = for a person
- how many = for countable things
We also practice short, natural replies and simple correction patterns.
Review from the last lessons:
- Use where for place questions.
- Use do / does questions for simple actions and habits.
- Today we add question words for people, things, and numbers.
5 useful words:
1. what — wot — which thing / which information
2. who — hoo — which person
3. how many — hau men-i — the number of things
4. answer — an-ser — a reply
5. sentence — sen-ten-se — a group of words
5 example sentences:
1. What is your name?
Reading: wot iz yor neym
Meaning: What is your name?
Use: Ask for a name.
2. Who is your teacher?
Reading: hoo iz yor tee-cher
Meaning: Who is your teacher?
Use: Ask about a person.
3. How many books do you have?
Reading: hau men-i books doo yoo hav
Meaning: How many books do you have?
Use: Ask for a count.
4. My answer is short.

Meaning: My answer is short.

5. This sentence is simple.

Common correction notes:
- Say: What is your name? not What your name?
- Say: Who is your teacher? not What is your teacher?
- Say: How many books do you have? not How many book do you have?
- Use books with how many because books are countable.
