But anyway. . . to the lesson!

Today we are going to talk about the conjugation of some regular verbs

in the present simple

and some city names in English.

Well, before we start, let's have a look at ways of greeting people

with the help of our screen.

Greeting people is very important in any language.

When we greet people in English,

we can say 'hello' to everyone

or 'hi' to family and friends,

as 'hi' is less formal.

We can also say 'good morning,

good afternoon or good evening',

depending on the time of day.

When people are leaving we say

'see you, see you soon, goodbye,

bye or goodnight' if it is night time.

When you leave someone, you can also say 'have a nice day!'

There are many ways of greeting people in English, aren't there?

Now, are you ready for some grammar?

So, the conjugation of regular verbs in the present tense.

With the verb to come we have

l come, you come, he comes,

she comes, it comes, we come,

you come and they come.

We always use the word 'come', apart from the third person singular,

where we use 'comes'.

This is the same in all regular verbs,

you just add an -s to the verb with he, she or it. Easy, right?

We can say l come from London, he comes from Boston,

we come from San Francisco, they come from Glasgow.

Ok, let's look at another verb, to live.

We can say l live in Madrid, you live in Moscow

and he lives in Chicago.

Remember what we do with the third person singular?

We add an -s at the end - lives.

Agatha's brother lives in Sydney - remember?

Finally let's look at the verb to work.

l work, you work, he works,

she works, it works,

we work, you work, they work.

Do you remember where Agatha's boyfriend works?

He works in a bank.

Dylan, my husband, works in a radio station,

they work in a restaurant.

Now, restaurant is a French word -

we often use French words in English.

Mary works in a boutique, Jack works in a hotel.

Ok, so now let's look at some other city names in English.

Do you know any?

Well, we have New York, fabulous for its shopping,

Tokyo in Japan, Paris in France - very romantic,

Saint Petersburg in Russia - brrrr it's very cold there!

Florence in ltaly - such a beautiful city,

Barcelona in Spain and Berlin in Germany.

Have you been to any of these cities?

l want to visit them all!

Well l think that's enough work for one day -

well done for working so hard!

l look forward to seeing you next time.

Don't forget to practice those regular verbs.

See you soon and have a nice day! Bye!
