Hi guys welcome back I’m Julia your online English teacher and today’s
lesson is about the present simple tense again. So this English tutorial is a
revision of spelling of the third-person singular of the present tense and also
about adverbs. So just like in the previous lesson we are going to be
focusing on the present simple why is that you might ask? It is because in the
next lesson we will already be moving on to another tense so today our focus is
to really master the present simple tense. Okay so really focus on making
sentences in the positive form in the negative form in question forms whether
positive or negative and really feel comfortable using this particular tense.
Throughout the lesson I highly recommend that you play with a variety of subtitle
options so no subtitles is a good thing but you can also watch the video with
English subtitles switch to your mother tongue then switch back to english and
then remove the subtitles. At this point you should really start focusing on the
listening and the speaking and read the subtitles less often. Okay so that’s just
a piece of advice if it’s too soon just do bear that in mind that is what you
are trying to attain that is a goal that is a target so really ideally you will
get to the point where you watch videos just with the subtitles in English or no
subtitles okay. So the lesson today is comprised of your
dialogue your vocabulary your grammar point of the day for questions and
answers and we will finish together with a recap of today’s lesson. Just running
through those important points I like to really focus on pronunciation using the
grammar in examples and just reviewing a few keywords.
The same time that’s it guys I’ll now let you study and I’ll see you later bye
for now.

Hi guys! Welcome back!
Let’s do the recap now of lesson 14 together!
This lesson is very important to learn more about the present simple. In today’s recap video we’re going to be looking at two things:
- the “S” ending – we’re going to look at verbs and how to pronounce them in the third person singular.

Let’s start with the verbs:
to understand – he understands
to speak – she speaks
to ask – he asks
to learn – she learns
to reply – he replies
In the grammar explanations you may have noticed this expression:
for example = for instance
Please try and use these expressions when writing a summary of your lesson:
