Lesson 11
What are possessive adjectives? How do we use them? What do they refer to?
Possessive adjectives talk about possession (objects, people).
Examples: My car is blue. Your car is black.
They refer to the PERSON who has the object, not the actual object.
Example: Kathy has a son. HER son (not his!) is young.
Can you explain how to use Present Continuous? Give an example if possible.
Present Continuous: A live action, an action in progress - right now, at the moment - temporary.
I am drinking water. She is playing tennis. We are studying English.
Please correct the following sentences:
1- She are swim in the lake.
2- They is buying a car.
1- She IS swimMING in the lake.
2- They ARE buying a car.
What are the three basic prepositions in English? What do they represent?
IN: country, city, province, month, year, season.
ON: surface, specific day/date, street (just the name).
AT: specific time, specific place, specific address.

Name as many QUESTION WORDS as possible. (5 Ws.)

What is an IMPERATIVE? What do they present?
Then, transform the example into an imperative sentence:
