LET'S READ! 📖
Situation:
Next week is Lulu's birthday, so Anna and Melly want to make something special for her.
Direction: Read the conversation below then answer the questions being asked.
Anna
Melly
Great Idea! Let's make a list of the things we need. The party could be in my house. We could use the living room.
Anna
My mom has some balloons and other decorations. I'm going to tell her what we are planning to do, I'm sure she won't hesitate to give them to me.
Melly
What about the food?
Anna
I'll ask Susan to make a vanilla cake. It is Lulu's favorite. I will bring some snacks too.
Melly
I'm going to the supermarket this weekend so I can buy the drinks. I'll ask John to come with me.
Shall I buy some sodas or juice?
Anna
I think it's better to have some juice.
Melly
So now we have the cake, snacks and juice. But what about buying her a nice present?
Anna
It is always very nice to receive one for our birthday. Why don't we buy her a watch?
Melly
That's a great idea!
Questions:
1. When is Lulu's birthday?
2. What present have they decided to give Lulu?
3. Who is going to make the cake?
4. Where is the party going to be held?
LET'S UNDERSTAND! 📚
I. Subject and Object pronouns
1. We can replace nouns with pronouns.
-
I have two neighbours. They are nice. (they - two neighbors)
-
This is Jane. She's my wife. (She - Jane)
Example:
2. There are different forms for subject pronouns and object pronouns, but you and it stay the same.
| subject | verb | object |
|---|---|---|
| I | like | him. |
| She | likes | me. |
-
I'm Susan
-
She sings in the shower.
-
Sometimes we tell her.
Example:
3. Use object pronouns after prepositions. (to, in, at, around.)
-
John lives next to them.
-
Look at me!
-
The story is about her.
Example:
| subject pronoun | object pronoun |
|---|---|
| I | me |
| you | you |
| he | him |
| she | her |
| it | it |
| we | us |
| they | them |
LET'S PRACTICE! 📝
Direction: Talk about your family using the subject and object pronouns. You have to use at least three subject pronouns and three object pronouns.
Example:
There are four people in my family. I am the eldest child. My parents are kind and supportive.
My father is an accountant. He goes to work every day. My mother is a housewife. She takes care of us every day.
I have a brother and a sister. We have a strong bond. I always help them with their homework.
They are always there for me. We create wonderful memories together.
Now, it's your turn.
Lulu's birthday is coming next week. Why don't we prepare a surprise party for her?
