In this video, we're going to learn how to make questions using 'what' and 'be' verbs. 

このビデオでは、「what」と「be」の動詞を使って質問を作る方法を学びます。

Okay. Now when we have one thing,

そうですか。さて、一つのことができたら

we have to use the 'be' verb 'is'.

は、「be」動詞の「is」を使う必要があります。

“What is it?”

"What is it?"

“What is it?”

"What is it?"

“It is a watch.”

"It is a watch"

“It is a watch.”

"It is a watch"

It's one thing, so I have to say 'a'.

一つのことだから、『a』と言わなければならない。

“a watch.”

"a watch"

I can also use the contraction for 'it is',

また、「It is」の短縮形を使うこともできます。

“it's”.

"it's "です。

Okay, now listen.

よし、聞いてくれ。

“It's a ….”

"It's a ...."

“It's a ….”

"It's a ...."

“It's a watch.”

"It's a watch"

“It's a watch.”

"It's a watch"

“What is it?”

"What is it?"

“What is it?”

"What is it?"

“It's a marker.”

"It's a marker"

“It's a marker.”

"It's a marker"

Okay. Now, there are two highlighters.

そうですか。さて、蛍光ペンが2本あります。

Okay, two.

じゃあ、2つ。

We use 'are'.

私たちは「are」を使います。

“What are they?”

"What are they?"

“What are they?”

"What are they?"

“They are highlighters.”

"蛍光ペンです"

“They are highlighters.”

"蛍光ペンです"

We have more than one, so we have to say “are”.

複数あるので、"are "としています。

And we have to put an 's' at the end.

そして、最後には「s」を付けなければなりません。

Again, we can use a contraction for 'they are':

ここでも「They are」の短縮形を使うことができます。

“they're”.

"they're "という言葉があります。

“They're highlighters.”

"蛍光ペンです"

“They're highlighters.”

"蛍光ペンです"

“What are they?”

"What are they?"

“What are they?”

"What are they?"

“They're markers.”

"They's markers"

“They're markers.”

"They's markers"

Okay. We're going to look at some examples and I'm going to ask some questions.

なるほど。これからいくつかの例を見て、質問をしていきます。

We please try to answer them.

私たちはそれに答えようとします。

Listen carefully and answer with “It's a” or “They're”. 

よく聞いて、"It's a "や "They're "で答えてください。

Let's look at the first one.

1つ目を見てみましょう。

Now let's focus on pronunciation

発音にこだわってみよう

and saying these fast. Okay. 

と、これらを早口で言っています。なるほど。

English speakers speak very quickly,

英語を話す人は、とても早く話します。

so you have to practice as well.

そのためには練習もしなければなりません。

Okay. “What is it?” 

なるほど、"何か？"ですね。

Okay, let's try it faster three times.

では、3回ほど速くしてみましょう。

“What is it?”

"What is it?"

“What is it?”

"What is it?"

“What is it?”

"What is it?"

It sounds like one word.

一つの言葉に聞こえます。

Okay, and the answer is also very fast.

なるほど、答えも非常に早いですね。

“It's a…”

"It's a..."

“It's a…”

"It's a..."

“It's a…”

"It's a..."

“It's a pencil.”

"It's a pencil"

“It's a chair.”

"It's a chair"

“It's a marker.”

"It's a marker"

Okay.

なるほど。

When we have more than one, we say, “What are they?”.

複数あるときは「What are them?

Let's do it fast three times.

速くても3回はやりましょう。

“What are they?”

"What are they?"

“What are they?”

"What are they?"

“What are they?”

"What are they?"

Okay.

And when you answer. “They're…” 

と答えると"彼らは..."

“They're pencils”

"They's pencils"

“They're chairs”

"They's chairs"

“They're markers”

"They's markers"

Okay, so this video was 'what' and 'be' verbs.
