Let's begin
Gatete looks at Mutesi. Her dress is green today.
He wants to say it in English. He says: She wear a green dress.
One small word is not there. Today you will put it back.
Right now you have clothes. In English you say is wearing.
It is two words and they always go together. Never say wear alone.
I am wearing a shirt.
He is wearing a shirt.
She is wearing a dress.

| Who | Shape |
|---|---|
| I | am wearing |
| He | is wearing |
| She | is wearing |
| They | are wearing |
Say every line out loud, twice.
The colour goes first. The clothes word comes after it.

Step 1 Who is it? He.
Step 2 The shape: is wearing.
Step 3 Colour, then clothes: a yellow shirt.

Look at yourself. Say three sentences out loud.
Today I am wearing... Sing it, then say your own clothes.
