  • She is = She's
  • It is = It's

Making Sentences with Adjectives

  • Use the verb "to be" in the present simple to make sentences with adjectives (e.g., "I am tall", "She is pretty")
  • Use possessive pronouns to describe someone's characteristics (e.g., "Ali is good-looking", "Lina is tall")

Sentence Structure

  • The verb usually comes after the subject in English

Family and Relationships

  • Use the verb "to be" in the present simple to ask about someone's marital status (e.g., "Are you married?")

Punctuation

  • Use a period (.) at the end of a sentence
  • Use a question mark (?) after a question
  • Use a comma (,) to separate items in a list
  • Use a hyphen (-) to join two words together (e.g., "twenty-five")
