English A1 Q&A Corrections #097
Topic: Asking for clarification with what and who
Lesson overview:
In this correction lesson, we practice two very small question words: what and who. We use what for a thing or idea, and who for a person. We also review this, friend, and please. These words help you ask clear questions and make polite requests.
Quick review from the previous lessons:
- do is used in question forms.
- does is used for third-person questions.
- too means also.
- yes / no are short answers.
New words:
1) what — wot — which thing
2) who — hoo — which person
3) this — dhis — this one
4) friend — frend — a person you know well
5) please — pleez — a polite word
Word usage notes:
- what: use for things, objects, or ideas.
- who: use for people.
- this: use for one thing or person near you in the conversation.
- friend: a common word for a person you know well.
