The English Alphabet (A, B, C...)

English Alphabet is completely new to you, you might

need to practice actually writing the letters.

There are 26 letters in the English alphabet.

8 – Present continuous

Past Future

Moment of speaking

Present progressive

The present progressive puts emphasis on the course or duration of an action.

Present progressive is also known as present continuous.

S + (be) + _____ing


The present progressive-is used for actions going on in the moment of speaking.-for actions taking place only for a short period of time. -It is also used to express development and actions that are arranged for the near future.

-The Present Continuous Tense usually describes things that are happening now, but it can also be used to describe important things in your life, and future activity.

-The Present Continuous is used for actions that are happening around the present time. For example,

"I am studying English" means thatI am in the process of studying English now.

Whole Numbers also known as Cardinal Numbers -used for counting. Cardinal numbers express quantity


When we use it For example:-

0 = oh after a decimal point 9.02 = "Nine point oh two."

in bus or room numbers

Rooom 101 = "Room one oh one."Bus 602 = "Bus six oh two."

in phone number/account

number

9130472 = "Nine one three oh four seven two."

in years 1906 = "Nineteen oh six."

0 =(Br) Nought

before a decimal point 0.06 = "Nought point oh six."

0 = zeroin

temperature(Am/Br) -10°C = "10 degrees below zero."

in count-downs(Am) score in team games

0 = "Zero"

0 = nil(Br) in footballChelsea 2 Manchester United 0 = "Chelsea

two Manchester United nil."

0 = love in tennis 20 - 0 = "Twenty love."


indicate order or rank: first (1st) , second (2nd) , third (3rd) etc...

The definite article "the" normally goes in front of an ordinal number: e.g."Queen Elizabeth the second.“

For most ordinal numbers, the ending '-th' is used, with one or two exceptions for those inevitable irregular numbers:-

Expressions of Time


24 - Time

We measure the time in seconds, minutes and hours.There are 24 hours in a day.There are 60 minutes in an hour.There are 60 seconds in a minute.To tell the time you usually use a clock or a watch.

A clock: A watch:

Important verbs for asking about and telling time: have, know, be, tell


14 : 20

Analogue clocks and watches often have numbers on the "face" to show the hours and lines to show the minutes. An analogue clock also has "hands" a short hand to show the houra longer hand to show the minutes,and sometimes a long thin hand to show the seconds.

Digital clocks and watches show the exact hours and minutes in numbers. They use 24 hours and sixty minutes to show the time.


To the Hour

We say o'clock on the hour:

Six o’clock Nine o’clock

Seven o’clock Ten o’clock

Eight o’clock Eleven o’clock


The times of the day:

Morning Afternoon Evening Night

00:01 - 11.59 12:01 - 18:00 18:01 - 22:00 22:01 - 23.59

1 to 11.59 am 12.01 to 6 pm 6.01 to 10 pm 10.01 to 11.59

pm

12 o'clock is noon (daytime) or midnight (night).

When talking about the time, to show whether it's morning or later we use am and pm.

Introduce yourself if necessary. If you don’t know the person, breaking the ice is very simple: look approachable, tell the new person your name, offer your hand to shake, and smile.


Remark on the location or occasionLook around and see if there is anything worth pointing out. Examples of location or occasion comments: "This is a gorgeous room!", "Such incredible catering!", "I love this view!", or "Great dog!"

Ask an open-ended questionMost people love to talk about themselves; it's your place as the

conversation starter to get them going. An open question requires an explanation for an answer rather than just a simple yes or no. Open questions tend to begin with who, when, what, why, where, and how, whereas closed questions tend to start with do, have, and is/am/are.

Closed questions: "Do you like books?", "Have you been to university?", "Is spring your favorite season?", "Am I intruding?", and "Do you come here often?"

Open questions: "What sort of books do you like?", "What did you study at university?", "Which is your favorite season? Why?", "What are you doing right now?", and "Where's your usual watering hole?" © 2

Idioms for Kids

A good example of an English idiom is the phrase:

1 - It’s raining cats and dogs.

Idioms like ❛it's raining cats and dogs❜, which

means ❛it’s raining very hard❜, are phrases or

sayings that have taken on special meanings

over time - meanings that are often very

different from the individual words that they

contain. In fact, you often can’t even guess

what the meanings of idioms are. This makes

them challenging but also very interesting,

fascinating and even fun to learn.


The Funniest English Idioms

1. a worm’s eye viewMany have heard the expression

a bird’s eye view, but have you

ever heard of a worm’s eye

view? If you have a worm’s eye

view of something, you only

understand or know a little bit

about it - and, unfortunately, it is

usually the worst or least

important part!

Example:

What does Pat perfect know

about prepositions? He only

has a worm’s eye view of

English grammar!


People and Personalities

1. fast-talkerA fast talker is a super talker, i.e. someone who is good at

persuading people to do what he wants. A fast-talker can

convince people to believe things that are not true or do things

that they would not normally do.

Example: When I went to the car dealership, I wanted to buy

a small compact car. When I left, I had purchased a van.

The salesman was a real fast-talker!


NEWS 12Dog that lost snout saving girls arrives in

Calif.

9:27PM EDT October 12. 2012 -

DAVIS, Calif. (AP) — A dog that lost its snout while saving

two girls in the Philippines has been brought to the

University of California, Davis, where veterinarians will try

to fix its injuries.


Surgeons at UC Davis' veterinary medical teaching hospital

looked over the mixed breed dog named Kabang on Thursday.

The San Francisco Chronicle reported that Kabang became a

star in the Philippines after it got in front of a speeding

motorcycle, saving the dog owner's young daughter and niece.

The crash took off the dog's snout and its upper jaw, and

veterinarians in the Philippines were unable to treat the injury.

So Karen Kenngott, a critical care nurse from Buffalo, N.Y.,

spearheaded an online fundraising campaign for the dog's care.

Thursday's hour-long exam at UC Davis included blood and

urine tests.© 2012 Honey Rouzbahani

NEWS 12

Surgeons determined that the dog will need at least two

surgeries over the next six weeks — one procedure to focus

on dental work and another to close the gaping wound on her

face.

There were no plans to fit Kabang with a "prosthetic snout" or

to replace the dog's jaw, the hospital said in a statement.
