English A1 Questions & Corrections #098
Topic: What is your name?
Lesson type: Question and Correction Practice
Lesson overview:
Today we practice a very common beginner question: asking someone’s name and answering politely. This forum thread is for correction practice, so read the examples, fix the mistakes, and then post your own sentence in the replies.
Short review from the last lessons:
- We already practiced question words like what and who.
- We also practiced simple polite words like please.
- Now we connect that idea with a real introduction question: What is your name?
5 useful words:
1) name — naym — the word for a person
2) my — mai — belonging to me
3) your — yor — belonging to you
4) is — iz — be verb
5) hello — heh-loh — friendly greeting
Usage notes:
- Use my name is... when you tell your name.
- Use your name when you ask about another person.
- Use is in short beginner answers: My name is Ana.
- Use hello to start in a friendly way.
