The objective is to boost your oral fluency and selfconfidence so you can talk about everyday situations. THE ENGLISH ALPHABET The English alphabet consists of 26 letters (5 vowels and 21 consonants): A - PRONOUNCED AS /EꞮ/ B - PRONOUNCED AS /BIː/ C - PRONOUNCED AS /SIː/ D - PRONOUNCED AS /DIː/ E - PRONOUNCED AS /Iː/ F - PRONOUNCED AS /ƐF/ G - PRONOUNCED AS /ʤIː/ H - PRONOUNCED AS /EꞮʧ/ I - PRONOUNCED AS /AꞮ/ J - PRONOUNCED AS /ʤEꞮ/ K - PRONOUNCED AS /KEꞮ/ L - PRONOUNCED AS /ƐL/ M - PRONOUNCED AS /ƐM/ N - PRONOUNCED AS /ƐN/ O - PRONOUNCED AS /OƱ/ P - PRONOUNCED AS /PIː/ Q - PRONOUNCED AS /KJUː/ R - PRONOUNCED AS /ⱭR/ S - PRONOUNCED AS /ƐS/ T - PRONOUNCED AS /TIː/ U - PRONOUNCED AS /JUː/ V - PRONOUNCED AS /VIː/ W - PRONOUNCED AS /ˈDɅBLJUː/ X - PRONOUNCED AS /ƐKS/ Y - PRONOUNCED AS /WAꞮ/ Z - PRONOUNCED AS /ZIː/ OR /ZƐD/ CARDINAL AND ORDINAL NUMBERS Cardinal numbers are used to indicate quantity, while ordinal numbers are used to indicate the position or order of things. In general, when forming an ordinal number, you just add the suffix "-th" to the cardinal number, except for the numbers 1, 2, and 3, where you add the suffixes "-st", "-nd", and "-rd", respectively. Be sure to keep in mind any special spelling changes that may be required for certain numbers (like "eighth" and "ninth"). Here is a quick breakdown of both types of numbers for teaching purposes.

Some common formats include: 1. Month Day, Year: In this format, the month is written in full followed by the day and then the year. This format is commonly used in informal writing and in the United States. Example: December 25, 2020 2. Day Month Year: In this format, the day is written as a number, followed by the month in full or abbreviated, and then the year. This format is commonly used in the United Kingdom and other parts of the world. Example: 25 December 2020 or 25 Dec 2020 3. Year-Month-Day: This format is widely used in technical writing, an international context, or when using numbers exclusively. The year comes first, followed by the month and day, both written as two-digit numbers (add leading zero if necessary). Example: 2020-12-25 4. Abbreviated form: This format is used when space is limited or in casual writing. The month is abbreviated using a three-letter format followed by the day and the last two digits of the year.

PRESENT SIMPLE The present simple tense is used to describe habits, routines, general facts, and statements in the present time. It consists of the base form of the verb, or the verb + 's' (or 'es') for the third person singular (he, she, it). Here's how to form the present simple tense: 1. For most verbs, use the base form (e.g., work, live, play) for subjects "I," "you," "we," "they." 2. For subjects "he," "she," "it," add an 's' or 'es' to the base form of the verb (e.g., works, lives, plays). PRESENT SIMPLE Some common uses of the present simple tense include: 1. To talk about everyday routines or habits (e.g., I wake up at 7 am. They always have lunch at 12 pm.) 2. To state general facts, opinions, or beliefs (e.g., Water boils at 100°C. She thinks it's a good idea.) 3. To express future plans or timetables with a fixed schedule (e.g., The train leaves at 6 pm. The workshop starts on Monday.) 4. To describe natural phenomena, scientific facts or universal truths (e.g., The earth revolves around the sun. Light travels faster than sound.) Remember that some verbs are irregular in the present simple tense, like "be" (I am, you/we/they are, he/she/it is) or "have" (I/you/we/they have, he/she/it has). Regular practice and exposure to the language will help you feel more comfortable using the present simple tense in various contexts. PRESENT CONTINUOUS The present continuous tense, also known as the present progressive tense, is used to describe actions or situations that are happening now or currently, ongoing actions, and future arrangements. It is formed using the verb "to be" in the present simple tense (am, is, are) followed by the present participle of the main verb (base form + ing). Here's how to form the present continuous tense: 1. For subjects "I," use "am" followed by the main verb + "ing" (e.g., I am working). 2. For subjects "he," "she," "it," use "is" followed by the main verb + "ing" (e.g., He is playing). 3. For subjects "you," "we," and "they," use "are" followed by the main verb + "ing" (e.g., They are studying). PRESENT CONTINUOUS Some common uses of the present continuous tense include: 1. To talk about actions happening at the moment of speaking or around it (e.g., I am reading a book now. She is cooking dinner). 2. To describe temporary situations or trends in the present (e.g., He is staying at a hotel this week. More people are working from home). 3. To express future plans and arrangements (e.g., We are traveling to Europe next month. She is meeting her friend later today). Remember that some verbs are rarely used in the present continuous tense because they express feelings, opinions, possession, mental states, or senses (e.g., like, believe, have, know, see). These are often referred to as "state verbs" and are typically used in the present simple tense. THANK YOU FOR COMING! ENGLISH COACHING SESSIONS
