becoming easier for you to understand isn't it good now we know that every country has its own traditions and customs but poor Elena is very surprised to see how early the English eat dinner now I don't mind eating early especially when somebody else is preparing my dinner okay today in our lesson we are going to look at the possessive adjectives in English like my your his we are also going to look at ways of apologizing to people to apologize means to say that you're sorry for doing something wrong okay let's get started first of all

let's go over the possessive adjectives we have my this is my bag then your I'm your teacher is for masculine this is his hat Dylan is so handsome with his hat on but let's continue with possessives her for feminine it's for things or animals our your and their it's important to note that your and your the contraction of you are have the same pronunciation so make sure you don't confuse them this is your book and you're very good students another important point is that the possessive adjectives never change they stay the same whether the noun

is singular or plural so we can say my book or my books okay let's look at some examples my friend Robert is American your friend lives in Madrid his sister knows Heather very well her mother is a good cook lady Coco my cat loves its ball our father works in Toronto their house is beautiful remember that his sister is used to describe the sister of a man for example the sister of Sam his sister and her brother is used to describe the brother of a woman for example the brother of Jessica her brother now do

you remember in the sitcom Victor forgets to put the napkins on the table so he says sorry to Agatha well sorry is a way of apologizing in English we can also say I'm sorry or I apologize which is slightly more formal if you want to make the apology stronger you can say I'm so sorry if you do something really bad you can say please forgive me now if someone apologizes to you and you forgive them you can say don't worry like Agatha said to Elena don't worry you go and sleep or you can say that's

okay well I hope you don't have to apologize too much in English anyway that's enough for today thank you for working so hard and I'll see you next time goodbye everyone oh good morning you're up early yes I'm looking for them for my look for your keys yeah here thank you Thank You Victor um do your classes start today you know I start classes on Wednesday and I'm looking for that duck today oh it's a good idea to get the the paper early yeah can I can I make you some tea do you have coffee

is Gabrielle's scarf lady Coco do you remember her lady Coco is Gabrielle's cat then we are going to study the days of the week Monday Tuesday maybe you know some of them and then the numbers 1 to 12 does that sound okay alright let's get started so I have a friend Jade she has gorgeous red hair and she's a very good friend of mine Jade has a brother he's a student I can make life much easier by saying Jade's brother is a student instead of using the brother of jade I can simply add apostrophe s

and say Jade's brother it's much simpler isn't it let's look at some more examples shall we in English instead of saying the mother of Peter we say Peters mother a native English speaker doesn't say the book of sera they say Sarah's book we can say Agatha's boyfriend is very handsome the cat's toy is in the box the president's house is in Washington DC you see it sounds much better than the house of the president you sound like a native English speaker already well done now what day is today Thursday Saturday I can never remember poor

me hmm well I know it's not Sunday because I don't normally work on Sunday and I usually have a delicious dinner with Dylan our Sunday roast so let's look at the days of the week Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday and the weekend Saturday and Sunday do you remember what day L&S starts class she starts on Wednesday and on which days is the job at the video store Thursday Saturday and Sunday okay let's look at some other words if today is Monday what day is tomorrow tomorrow is Tuesday and what day was it yesterday Sunday here's

a tip the second day of the week is Tuesday which sounds a little bit like the number to remember that in English we write the days of the week with a capital letter okay oh I said two so let's have a look at the numbers one to twelve one two three four five six seven eight nine ten eleven twelve okay let's see if you can do a little test what is two plus three five good and five plus 4/9 what about six plus six twelve good job well today was an English end a math lesson

soon Elena it gets very cold in London not like sunny Barcelona red ink we might get some some snow at Christmas snow there will be a new experience for you yes Oh wonderful you don't have school tomorrow let's go shopping okay let's go shopping oh dear hello everyone and welcome again to your English lesson oops I've just been shopping do you like my dress do you think it suits me it's new well Agatha certainly loves shopping doesn't she although I'm not sure that Victor approves and how about Eleanor today getting the job at the video

store clever girl well enough of that are you ready to hear what grammar points we are going to look at today well first we are going to learn some question words like what what is it it's my new dress and where where are you now I'm in the studio teaching my lesson then we will look at the verb to be in its interrogative and negative forms is it a new bag no it isn't we will also look at the negative form of some other verbs in the present simple tense I don't go shopping very often

Victor doesn't like shopping quite a lot to cover so are you ready to begin first let's look at the question word how a well-known example of this is how are you I'm fine thanks how is she she oh my mom Diane she's very well thank you how old are you it's not polite to ask a lady's age but I'm pretty young anyway how old are they they are 36 years old then we have the question word what like in what's your name my name is Gabrielle as you know and what's your friend's name my friend's

name is Jade do you remember the girl with red hair then we have where where are you from I'm from New York where is he from he's from San Diego oh I love California do you notice how these questions are all useful when you are getting to know someone they are great for discovering personal information then we have the word when as in when is your birthday my birthday is in July yes summertime when is the party sure my birthday party well I haven't decided yet and as Victor asked Ellen uh when do you finish

work no no we have a bit more work to do today so let's look at some other types of questions using the verb to be are you English is he German are they French to make questions with the verb to be we just invert the subject and the verb so I am a teacher becomes n I a teacher you are a student are you a student do you see to make sentences negative with the verb to be we simply add the word not I am not Italian we are not Chinese he is not Scottish when

we speak English we usually contract the negative form of the verb so I am NOT Italian becomes I'm not Italian you are not Indian if you aren't Indian he is not French becomes he isn't French we are not if we aren't and they are not they aren't the final thing I want to look at today is adding don't or doesn't to make present simple verbs negative here's an example I speak Spanish I do not speak Spanish do not is contracted to don't I don't speak Spanish you don't speak German Agatha says to Elinor you don't

have school tomorrow lucky girl she can go shopping then in the third person singular we say she does not or doesn't like pizza which in my opinion is impossible he doesn't live in the city notice how we cut off the s from the verb when we make the sentence negative he likes tea he doesn't like tea well I think tea sounds like a great idea I think I will go and relax with a nice of tea you can relax too you worked hard today well done and see you next time bye
