English A1 Q&A Corrections #103
Topic: Question and correction practice with are / am / is
Lesson overview:
In this thread, we practice very common short questions and corrections with the verb be. This is a natural next step after can, this/that, and what/where. Today we focus on am, are, and is in simple questions and short answers.
New words:
1) am — reading: am — meaning: be (for I)
2) are — reading: aar — meaning: be (for you / we / they)
3) is — reading: iz — meaning: be (for he / she / it)
4) yes — reading: yes — meaning: yes
5) no — reading: noh — meaning: no
Important usage notes:
- Use am with I.
- Use are with you, we, and they.
- Use is with he, she, and it.
- In questions, the verb often comes before the subject: Am I...? / Are you...? / Is he...?
- In short answers, repeat the correct verb: Yes, I am. / No, you are not.
5 example sentences:
1) Am I late? — reading: am ai leyt — meaning: Am I late?
2) Are you ready? — reading: aar yu re-di — meaning: Are you ready?
3) Is he here? — reading: iz hi hiar — meaning: Is he here?
4) Yes, I am. — reading: yes ai am — meaning: Yes, I am.
5) No, you are not. — reading: noh yu aar not — meaning: No, you are not.
Mini practice:
- Change the mistake: Is I late? → Am I late?
- Choose the correct verb: You ___ ready. → are
- Make a short answer: Are you ready? → Yes, I am. / No, I am not.
- Make a negative sentence: You are ready. → You are not ready.
Answer key:
1) Am I late?
2) You are ready.
3) is
4) Yes, I am. / No, I am not.
5) You are not ready.
