Hi there pals! .

Today's lesson will help us to use two important prepositions in a better way.

1) Between: we can use this word as a preposition of place. (In the middle of 2 things / people)

E.g. 'I am sitting between Mike and Paty'

You can also use between when talking about sth more than ... and sth less than...

E.g. 'this restaurant is good enough to celebrate Tom's birthday. The meals cost between £10 and £20.

We want to invite you to learn an interesting idiom with 'Between'. Can you tell us how people use it in their own language? You can find it in our story!

2) Among: we use 'among' when refering to a group of things, animals or people.

E,g.
'I am the youngest person among my friends'

Good morning dear pals.

In today's lesson We are going to learn some characteristics related to the Simple Past Tense.

Let's take a look at the following tips:

1. We use auxiliary "Did" for questions and for negative sentences.

✅️Did you attend to your English Class last week?

✅️No, I did not.

2. When We use "Did", we use the verb in its base form

Example:

✅️Did you have fun at the movies last night?

3. For affirmative sentences We use regular and irregular verbs.

Regular verbs: "ed"

Play - played

Irregular verbs:

Take - took

4. Time expressions in simple past:

Remember that as we refer to finished actions, we need to use some expressions that clarify that a sentence happened at a specific period of time in the past.

✅️ Last (monday, february, year)

✅️ yesterday

✅️ ago (look at its usage below)

* 5 months ago.
* 10 years ago.

Hi there pals, in today's lesson, Our goal is to explain the use of the following words:

👉 my, your, his, her, its, our, your, their.

These words are called:

✅️ POSSESSIVE ADJECTIVES

These words are use to express possession: that something (and sometimes a person or an animal) belongs to someone. .

As these words are adjectives, We use them without modifying them. We DO NOT use 'S' in plural.

Example:

I like my friends = CORRECT ✅️
I like mys friends= WRONG ❌️

These words are usually places before NOUNS

Example:

✅️ Is that your car?

✅️ Does she like her PE class?

✅️ Karol and Martin love their children

Check out our stories and keep up with the good vibes!

Hi there pals, learning how to use prepositions properly can give us a hard time, but don't worry about it. We can help you!

In today's lesson we will learn how to use 'ON' as preposition of place, of time and as an adverb too!

Let's begin...

'on' can be used to show the place where an object is (the upper part, over sth but making contact)

👉 your phone is on my desk!
👉 there is a poster on the wall
👉 is there a good movie on TV?
👉 The drinks are on me tonight!

2. We use 'ON' for time as well.

Complete/ special dates:
👉My Birthday is on June (the) 7th.
Days of the week
👉 our PE (physical education) class is on wednesdays

👉some people eat turkey on thanksgiving.

3. Types of travel

👉 some soccer players travel on planes at least once a week.

👉 I always get to work on foot

4. We can use 'ON' as an adverb:

used to know that something continues:

👉 Keep on with the good work!
👉 please, go on with what you are doing!

We hope you can use the word 'on' with a bit more confidence from now ON...

Cheers! 🙏
