Lesson 2 of 5
12 min
Let's begin
Mugisha touches his nose. He says: This is my nose.
Then he touches his two ears. He says: This is my ears.
The teacher listens. One small word is wrong. Today you will know which one.
You have one nose. One mouth. One head. One neck. One face.
For one part you say: This is my nose.
Say it with me: This is my mouth. This is my head. This is my neck.
You have two eyes. Two ears. Two hands. Two arms. Two legs.
For two parts, three things change.
Step 1 This becomes These.
Step 2 is becomes are.
Step 3 The name takes an s: ear becomes ears.
These are my ears.
Say them all out loud: These are my eyes. These are my hands. These are my arms. These are my legs.
Almost every name takes an s. Two names do not. Learn these two well.
One foot, two feet.
One tooth, many teeth.
Careful! Foots is wrong. Tooths is wrong. There is no s at all.
Say it ten times, out loud: one foot, two feet. One foot, two feet.
One part: What is this? This is my nose.
Two parts: What are these? These are my eyes.
The question changes too. Is becomes are, this becomes these.
This is my face. Listen for eyes, ears, nose and mouth.
