Interactive exercises guide learners in mastering the use of subject pronouns through dedicated practice sessions that emphasize repetition. The cycle of practice and starting over aims to solidify comprehension.

Lesson 2. Building Blocks of English Sentences: Subject, Verb, and Object

Sentence structure in English is defined by the order: subject-verb-object; however, some verbs require a complement instead of an object, which can be an adjective or a prepositional phrase. To construct sentences correctly, remember that every sentence needs a subject and a verb, but the object depends on the verb type.

Lesson 3. Third Person Singular: The Verb 'Be' in Action

Learners explore sentence construction using the present simple verb 'be,' while exercises focus on adjective-noun agreement and prepositional context, with sentence rewrites like 'Jeremy's a plumber.' Lists provided aim to expand vocabulary through descriptive language and practical noun usage.

Lesson 4. Crafting Sentences: Adjectives and Nouns Combined

In this lesson, students enhance their English syntax skills by reordering jumbled phrases to construct sentences, ensuring adjectives come before nouns. It stresses proper sentence formatting via uppercase beginnings and period endings, cultivating disciplined writing behavior.

Lesson 5. Mastering 'Was' and 'Wasn't' with He, She, It

Learners practice converting present simple sentences into past simple form using 'was' or 'wasn't,' aiding them in expressing temporal information accurately for third-person singular subjects. Exercises include creating positive and negative past statements, as well as forming relevant questions to reinforce understanding.

This lesson focuses on using prepositions to describe spatial relationships, utilizing examples like 'The star is under the square' and encouraging learners to practice with variations.

Lesson 7. Navigating Adjectives, Nouns, and Prepositional Phrases with 'Be'

This lesson delves into how 'be' verbs function with different types of words in English sentences, maintaining the same structure whether they describe singular or plural subjects. Exercises are provided to reinforce mastery, focusing on both full and contracted forms.

Lesson 8. Grammar in Action: Using Possessive Adjectives

Lesson 8 focuses on possessive adjectives matched with subject pronouns, illustrating examples like 'my dog' and 'their house.' The lesson includes exercises to practice using possessive adjectives and correcting grammatical errors in sentences.

Lesson 9. Understanding Articles: A and An in English Grammar

This session clarifies the use of 'a' vs 'an' by examining initial sounds, offering rules and exceptions for perfect article usage. Exercises help solidify understanding of choosing the correct article in various grammatical contexts.

Lesson 10. Understanding English Plurals: Formation and Rules

In English, pluralization primarily affects nouns by adding an -s, with some exceptions requiring -es for extra phonetic clarity.

Lesson 11. Understanding When to Use -s: Present Simple Verbs for He/She/It

Lesson 11 explains the formation of present simple verbs in the third person singular for actions performed by 'he,' 'she,' or 'it,' emphasizing habitual actions. It distinguishes between verbs that require objects, those that require complements, and some that can use either, explaining the importance of learning these distinctions for effective communication.

Lesson 12. Present Simple: Building Strong Foundations

Lesson 12 covers how to use the present simple tense for all subjects and provides examples with various sentence structures. Students completed exercises requiring sentence construction and verb conjugation, emphasizing third person singular changes.

Lesson 13. Exploring Negations and Descriptions: Understanding 'Not' with Mary and Others

The lesson explains the English negation process using 'is not' to alter meanings of adjective and noun predicates. It provides practice sentences where learners convert positive statements into negatives using contractions and full forms.

Lesson 14. Exploring Negations in English: From Phrases to Sentences

Lesson 14 teaches the use of 'are not' contractions, highlighting that 'am not' becomes 'I'm not.' An exercise reinforces the lesson by rearranging sentences to use short forms correctly.

Lesson 15. Adventures with 'Ago' and the Past Tense

This lesson delineates using 'ago' to construct past tense sentences, distinguishing between affirmative and negative forms. The exercises provided are designed to enable diverse expressions of time and events using structured patterns.

Lesson 16. Pairing Sentences with Their Question Twins

Students are tasked with reversing given statements to questions, exemplified by changing 'The dog is in the yard' into 'Is the dog in the yard?'. Accompanying exercises guide learners in providing appropriate positive or negative short responses.

Lesson 17. Understanding Wh- Question Words

Understanding English question formation involves using words like what, where, and why to ask for specific details, rather than just yes or no answers. This lesson provides practice in crafting questions and selecting appropriate question words based on the type of information requested.

Lesson 18. Playing with Negatives: The 3rd Person Singular Edition

This lesson is centered on teaching negatives in the third person singular, as seen in sentences like Sara doesn't eat pasta, contrasted with what she does eat. The subsequent exercise aids learners in crafting their own sentences by emphasizing what various subjects don't do.

Lesson 22. Navigating Abilities: Lessons in 'Can' and 'Can't'

The concept of 'can' represents the ability to perform an action without variation across different subjects, always teamed with the simple form of the verb. Negative 'can't' is its straightforward counterpart for expressing actions one is unable to perform, maintaining uniform application for all subjects.

Lesson 23. Timeless Tenses: Navigating Regular Verb Past Forms

When conjugating regular verbs into the simple past, the verb endings are crucial; focus on patterns like -ed, with exceptions on doubling consonants or -y to -ied transformation. Enrich sentences by incorporating time phrases to perfectly set the scene in the past.

Lesson 24. Irregular Verbs Past Tense

Learning to use irregular verbs involves memorizing specific past tense forms, highlighted by a list of 25 frequent verbs, since they do not adhere to the regular '-ed' pattern. The exercises provided in the lesson are designed for practice in context, solidifying the learner's understanding.

Lesson 25. Quick Guide to Irregular Verbs (2)

By listing and practicing with commonly misused irregular verbs, this lesson efficiently builds grammatical competence in their past forms. Engaging exercises direct learners to convert verbs like 'cut,' 'run,' and 'set' into their appropriate past tense versions.
