Grammar.
Simple Past Statements.
✔️ We use the simple past to talk about things that happened in the past — yesterday, last week, or a long time ago.Regular verbs: Add -ed to the verb. Example:
- I visited my friend yesterday.
- She liked the food.
Irregular verbs: These verbs have a different past form. Example:
- I ate a sandwich. (eat → ate)
- They went to a restaurant. (go → went)
👉 The verb stays the same for all subjects (I, you, he, she, we, they). Example:
- He watched a movie.
- We watched a movie.
Grammar.
Simple Past Questions (Yes/No and WH- Questions)
✔️ We use the simple past to ask questions about things that happened in the past. ✅ Yes/No Questions.
- Did + subject + base verb + ...?
Examples:
- Did you eat breakfast? → Yes, I did. / No, I didn’t.
- Did she drink coffee? → Yes, she did. / No, she didn’t.
👉 Use the base form of the verb after did (not the past form). ✅ Yes/No Questions.
- Did + subject + base verb + ...?
Examples:
- Did you eat breakfast? → Yes, I did. / No, I didn’t.
- Did she drink coffee? → Yes, she did. / No, she didn’t.
👉 Use the base form of the verb after did (not the past form).

Pronunciation.
🔤 Pronunciation: Saying /h/ and /r/
✅ /h/ sound.
- This sound is soft and breathy.
- You make it by pushing air out of your mouth without using your voice.
- Your mouth is open a little.
Examples:
🗣️ Tip: Put your hand in front of your mouth. Say “hi” — you should feel air!
✅/r/ sound.
- This sound is stronger and made with the tongue pulled back, but not touching the roof of your mouth.
- It uses your voice.
Examples:
🗣️ Tip: Don’t roll the “r” — it’s not like in Spanish or Italian. In English, it’s smooth: “rrrrr”
Pronunciation.
🔤 Pronunciation: Listening Focus: “Do you want to...?”
We often say “Do you want to...?” when offering something or making a suggestion.Examples:
- “Do you want to eat now?”
- “Do you want to go to the café?”
✅ In fast, natural speech, it often sounds like:
- “Do you wanna...?” (“want to” becomes “wanna”)
🗣️ So: “Do you want to eat?” → sounds like “Do you wanna eat?”

A Tiring Day in Morocco.
Hi everyone! I'm writing this from Marrakesh, Morocco. Today was very busy but fun. I visited the market early this morning, and I forgot to eat breakfast! I just had an apple on the way, and that wasn’t enough. I walked for hours and saw a lot of interesting shops and foods. At noon, I was super hungry. I found a small café near the square and ordered a chicken sandwich with tomato and cheese. It was simple, but delicious! I also drank fresh orange juice — it was sweet and cold. In the afternoon, I took a long bus ride to another town. On the bus, I had a few crackers and a banana. I didn’t want a big meal because the road was bumpy! Now it’s evening and I’m finally resting. For dinner, I had a warm potato soup with bread and a little bit of butter. Tomorrow, I want to try something different — maybe something with lamb or even coconut. Traveling can be tiring, but the food makes it better! — Sarah

Pronunciation.
🔤 Pronunciation: Saying /h/ and /r/
✅ /h/ sound.
- This sound is soft and breathy.
- You make it by pushing air out of your mouth without using your voice.
- Your mouth is open a little.
Examples:- have
- hot
- hamburger
- hello
🗣️ Tip: Put your hand in front of your mouth. Say “hi” — you should feel air!✅/r/ sound.
- This sound is stronger and made with the tongue pulled back, but not touching the roof of your mouth.
- It uses your voice.
Examples:- rice
- red
- restaurant
- really
🗣️ Tip: Don’t roll the “r” — it’s not like in Spanish or Italian. In English, it’s smooth: “rrrrr”Pronunciation.
🔤 Pronunciation: Listening Focus: “Do you want to...?”
We often say “Do you want to...?” when offering something or making a suggestion.Examples:
- “Do you want to eat now?”
- “Do you want to go to the café?”
✅ In fast, natural speech, it often sounds like:- “Do you wanna...?” (“want to” becomes “wanna”)
🗣️ So: “Do you want to eat?” → sounds like “Do you wanna eat?”Listening.

What did you eat last weekend? Did you eat any dessert?
Talk about:
- If you ate any snacks or dessert?
🗨️ Sample Answer. Last weekend, I ate dinner with my family at a restaurant. I had chicken, rice, and green beans. I also drank some juice. I didn’t eat any salad, but I had some ice cream for dessert. It was very good. I didn’t drink any soda because I don’t like it. I had a great time!Write a short restaurant review (about 70–100 words). Talk about: What kind of restaurant you went to? Who you went with? What food you ate? What you liked or didn’t like? What you think about the service and the price? How many stars you give it (out of 5)? Example: Last night, I went to an Italian restaurant with my cousin. She loves pasta, so we went there for dinner. The menu had many choices, but I don’t like pasta, so I ate a chicken sandwich with tomato and cheese. It was delicious! My cousin had spaghetti and garlic bread. She said it was great. For dessert, I ate coconut cake. It was sweet and soft. The servers were friendly, and the food came fast. The price was a little high, but it was OK. I give this restaurant four stars. ⭐⭐⭐⭐

💡 Grammar Tip:A Tiring Day in Morocco.
Hi everyone! I'm writing this from Marrakesh, Morocco. Today was very busy but fun. I visited the market early this morning, and I forgot to eat breakfast! I just had an apple on the way, and that wasn’t enough. I walked for hours and saw a lot of interesting shops and foods. At noon, I was super hungry. I found a small café near the square and ordered a chicken sandwich with tomato and cheese. It was simple, but delicious! I also drank fresh orange juice — it was sweet and cold. In the afternoon, I took a long bus ride to another town. On the bus, I had a few crackers and a banana. I didn’t want a big meal because the road was bumpy! Now it’s evening and I’m finally resting. For dinner, I had a warm potato soup with bread and a little bit of butter. Tomorrow, I want to try something different — maybe something with lamb or even coconut. Traveling can be tiring, but the food makes it better! — Sarah
