English A1 Questions & Corrections #081
Topic: Question and correction practice with is / are / where / who
Lesson overview:
Today we practice very common beginner questions and corrections. The main idea is to choose the correct verb: is for one thing, are for more than one thing. We also review where for place questions and who for people questions.
Quick review from previous lessons:
- near = close to
- far = not near
- morning / evening = time words
These ideas help you make simple place and time sentences, but today we focus on question forms and corrections.
5 useful words:
1) is — iz — third-person singular be
2) are — aar — plural be
3) where — wair — at what place
4) who — hoo — what person
5) they — they — plural people or things
5 example sentences:
1) Is the bag red? — iz thuh bag red
2) Are the keys here? — aar thuh keez heer
3) Where is the bag? — wair iz thuh bag
4) Who is that man? — hoo iz that man
