Summary 1teen - 16

Мы уже сделали два важных шага к изучению английского языка: теперь мы знаем глагол to be и Present Simple. Давайтесравним, чем они отличаются:

To be	Present Simple
Быть (в английском языке всегда должен быть глагол, когда у нас нет действия!!!)	Действие
# I am clever (Я есть умный)	I go to school
Am, is are	Do, Does
Monkey Job: + He is a good driver - He is not a good driver ? Is he a good driver?	Monkey Job: He drives well* He doesn’t drive well Does he drive well?

* Well – «хорошо».

New: So and Because.

А вы скажете по английски Я такой умный потому что я учусь хорошо?

Я учусь хорошо, поэтому я такой умный?

Запишите в словарь: Because – “потому что”, So – “поэтому”.

Потренируйте использование So и Because в упражнении:
