Welcome to your guide for learning English!

This resource is designed to be your compass as you begin your journey into a new language. Our approach is built on a simple yet powerful principle: to truly learn a language, you must engage with all its facets. That is why this guide systematically covers the four fundamental skills of English: listening, reading, writing, and speaking. You will find that these skills are deeply interconnected, and practicing one will often strengthen the others, creating a truly holistic learning experience. Beyond the core skills, we recognize the importance of building a solid foundation from the very beginning. This guide includes dedicated sections on pronunciation to help you master the sounds of English, enabling you to speak with clarity and understand native speakers more easily. You will also find simple and practical grammatical hints woven throughout the activities. These are not rigid rules, but friendly reminders designed to help you form correct sentences naturally. This guide is specifically tailored for students at the A1 level of the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR). Our goal is to make your first steps in English both successful and enjoyable, equipping you with the essential tools to communicate confidently in everyday situations. We believe that with a solid foundation, your potential for language growth is limitless.

Let’s begin this exciting journey together!

Situational Context:

Describing objects in your home, office, or classroom. Identifying personal belongings.

Topic 3

My Things

When to Use "A"

When to Use "A"

HOW IT WORKS

We use "a" before singular nouns that start with a consonant sound. • Examples: a book

Grammar

When to Use "An"

UNDERSTANDING "a", "an" and "the"

We use "an" before singular nouns that start with a vowel sound. (The vowels are A, E, I, O, U). • Examples: an apple

Important Note: It's about the SOUND, not just the letter!

In summary:

The most important thing to remember is that you choose "a" or "an" based on the sound of the first letter of the word that follows the article, not just the letter itself.

• "a university" (because "u" sounds like "yoo" – a consonant sound) • "an hour" (because "h" is silent, and "our" starts with a vowel sound)

"A" and "an" are called indefinite articles. We use them when we talk about one person, place, thing, or idea that is not specific. The definite article (the) is used before a singular or plural noun to indicate that the identity of the noun is known to the reader. Key Rule: Both "a" and "an" are used only before singular countable nouns. This means you can count them (one dog, two dogs, etc.) and there is only one of them.

When to Use "The"

We use article "the" before a singlular or plural noun to specify a generic name of an an object(s). "Laptop" is generic name, but "the laptop" refers to a specific laptop computer.

Topic 3

My Things

C. Read each sentence. Choose the correct article, "a", "an" or "the" to complete the sentence. Write it in the blank.

Topic 3

My Things

A. Plurals: Regular nouns (add -s).

PLURALS NOUNS

General Rule: Add -s

Most nouns become plural by simply adding -s to the end of the singular form.

• Examples:

cats

cat

dogs

dog

books

book

tables

table

chairs

chair

Rule 2: Add -es.

If a noun ends with -s, -ss, -x, -ch, -sh, -z or - o, we add -es to make it plural. This is because adding just an "-s" would make it hard to pronounce.

• Examples:

buses

bus

kisses

kiss

boxes

box

watches

watch

Complete

B. What can you see? _________.

dishes

dish

Topic 3

My Things

• Some nouns ending in -o (especially musical terms or borrowed words) just add -s.

Rule 3: Nouns ending in -y

D. Change the singular nouns to the correct form.

This rule depends on the letter before the -y:

• Examples:

photos

photo

• If the noun ends in a consonant + -y, change the -y to -i and add -es.

pianos

piano

Text

Text

radios

radio

• Examples:

babies (b- is a consonant)

baby

Text

Text

cities (t- is a consonant)

city

Text

Text

stories (r- is a consonant)

story

Text

Text

• If the noun ends in a vowel + -y, just add -s. (Rule 1)

• Examples:

boys (o- is a vowel)

boy

Text

Text

keys (e- is a vowel)

key

Text

Text

days (a- is a vowel)

day

Text

Text

Rule 4: Irregular nouns

For nouns that follow no specific rules:

Here are some examples:

• Examples:

children

child

Text

Text

woman

women

people

person

Topic 3

My Things

D. Listen carefully to these /s/ /z/ /ɪz/ sounds.

• Some nouns ending in -o (especially musical terms or borrowed words) just add -s.

C. PRONUNCIATION FOCUS

The -s ending for plurals: Practice the three different sounds (/s/, /z/, /iz/).

• Examples:

photos

photo

pianos

piano

This sound is used when a word ends in a voiceless consonant sound, such as -p, -t, -k, -f, or -th. The final sound is a soft, breathy "s."

radios

radio

This sound is used when a word ends in a voiced consonant sound or a vowel sound. The final sound is a buzzing "z" sound.

Listen and select the correct sound.

Question (E)

Question (A)

Question (I)

Question (F)

Question (J)

Question (B)

This sound is used when a word ends in a sibilant sound (a hissing or buzzing sound), such as -s, -z, -ch, -sh, -ge, or -x. This adds an extra syllable to the word.

Question (G)

Question (C)

Question (K)

Getting Around Town

A Day in My Town

I live in a small town called Green Meadows. It's a quiet place, but there are a lot of interesting things to do here. When you walk downtown. There is a large library right next to the town hall. There are some great coffee shops, and they are always full of people. However, there isn't a movie theater in Green Meadows, which is a little sad. But that's okay because there is a huge park with a beautiful lake. There are some boats you can rent in the summer. When I need to buy groceries, I go to the supermarket. There is some fresh fruit and lots of vegetables. There are some good restaurants, especially for pizza! The people here are very friendly. There is one community center where people meet for activities. There are some soccer teams for kids and adults. It's a perfect place to live!
