We use “to be” in the present simple to talk about a state or condition.
It tells us what something is, not what it does.
We use am / is / are with:
We use ’s to show something belongs to someone.
Structure:�Name + ’s + thing
Possessive ‘s
Examples:
A / An – Singular Nouns
We use “a” and “an” with one countable thing.
A/An - The
Countable vs. Uncountable
❌ We don’t use “a/an” with uncountable nouns.�✅ Say: “some water”, not “a water”
Definite Article: “the”
We use “the” when we talk about one specific thing.�It can be something already known, unique, or easily identified by both the speaker and listener.
🟠 1. We use “the” when the noun is already known
🔵 2. We use “the” for things that are unique or one in the world
🟢 3. We use “the” with names of certain places
a) Rivers, seas, oceans
b) Mountain ranges
✅ But not for one mountain:�🗙 the Mount Everest → ❌�✅ Mount Everest → ✔️
c) Deserts
d) Islands (groups)
🔴 4. We use “the” with countries only in special cases
❌ We do NOT use “the” with most country names:
✅ But we DO use “the” with:
📌 These are long, official names or describe a group of states/lands.
⚪ 5. We do NOT use “the” with:
This / That / These / Those
We use them in two ways:
📌 1. Demonstrative Pronouns
They stand alone and replace the noun:
Word | Number | Distance | Example (pronoun) |
This | Singular | Near | This is my book. |
That | Singular | Far | That is your phone. |
These | Plural | Near | These are nice shoes. |
Those | Plural | Far | Those are my glasses. |
📌 2. Demonstrative Adjectives
They go before a noun and describe which one(s):
Word | Number | Distance | Example (adjective) |
This | Singular | Near | I like this shirt. |
That | Singular | Far | I don’t want that book. |
These | Plural | Near | These apples are fresh. |
Those | Plural | Far | Those bags are heavy. |
Plural Noun Rules
Singular and Plural Nouns
To make most nouns plural, we add -s or -es at the end.
Rule | Singular | Plural |
Most words → add -s | book | books |
Ends in -s, -sh, -ch, -x → -es | bus | buses |
Ends in consonant + y → -ies | baby | babies |
Ends in vowel + y → add -s | toy | toys |
Ends in -f or -fe → -ves | leaf / knife | leaves / knives |
❗ Irregular Plural Nouns:
These do not follow the -s rule. You must memorize them.
Singular | Plural |
man | men |
woman | women |
child | children |
tooth | teeth |
foot | feet |
mouse | mice |
person | people |
fish | fish (or fishes)* |
