Welcome to English A1 Q&A Corrections #033.
Today’s forum practice is about very short correction replies with can, this, that, here, and there. This lesson continues our recent Q&A correction work. We will review a little from previous lessons: ask, answer, and correct, then use new location words and help questions.
Lesson overview:
- Use can for simple help questions.
- Use this for one thing near you.
- Use that for one thing farther away.
- Use here for a place near you.
- Use there for a place farther away.
Words:
1) can — reading: kan — meaning: be able to
2) this — reading: dhis — meaning: this one
3) that — reading: dhat — meaning: that one
4) here — reading: hir — meaning: in this place
5) there — reading: dher — meaning: in that place
Example sentences:
1) Can you help me?
Reading: Kan yuu help mee?
Meaning: Can you help me?
2) This is my pen.
Reading: Dhis iz mai pen.
Meaning: This is my pen.
3) That is your pen.
Reading: Dhat iz yor pen.
Meaning: That is your pen.
4) I am here.
Reading: Ai am hir.
Meaning: I am here.
5) The bag is there.
Reading: Dhe bag iz dher.
Meaning: The bag is there.
Usage notes:
- can + you + verb is a very common beginner help question.
- this = near, that = farther.
- here and there tell place.
- In short forum replies, keep the sentence simple and polite.
Mini practice:
- Change this sentence into a question: You help me.
- Choose this or that: ___ is my pen.
- Choose here or there: I am ___.
- Fix the mistake: The bag are there.
- Write one short help question with can.
Answer key:
1) Can you help me?
2) This is my pen.
3) That is your pen.
4) I am here.
5) The bag is there.
Reply instruction:
Please write one short sentence in the comments. You can make a help question, a this/that sentence, or a here/there sentence. If you want, another learner can correct it in a simple reply.
Reply format: Start your reply with your explanation language code, e.g. [TR], [EN], [AR], [RU], [ES], [DE], [FR], [IT].
