Ok.

Hi everyone, welcome back to your English course!

l hope you are ready to study hard today -

we have a lot to do!

What about our sitcom?

Was it difficult to understand?

Don't worry, it's always difficult at the beginning.

ln our story today,

Elena meets Agatha's brother Victor.

Victor is very surprised isn't he?

And Agatha is very strange in this episode!

l wonder why?

Anyway, today we are going to review

the personal subject pronouns,

the present simple of regular verbs

and then we are going to look at a new topic:

the personal object pronouns.

Listen: you're good students and... l like you,

He's Dylan, my husband, he's very good-looking and...

l like him!

We are also going to study how to say some countries,

nationalities and languages.

Are you ready to start?

So, do you remember how to use personal subject pronouns

and how to conjugate regular verbs?

Of course you do!

Let's practice them again and look at countries,

nationalities and languages.

l come from Australia so l am Australian and l speak English.

You come from France so you are French

and you speak French.

He comes from ltaly so he is ltalian and he speaks ltalian.

We come from Germany so we are German

and we speak German.

They come from Japan so they are Japanese

and they speak Japanese.

The nationality always stays the same - singular,

plural, masculine and feminine.

Do you see?

So, what do you think?

ls your English improving or. . .

'please, help me:

the English language is too difficult!?'

Well, actually this is very helpful for our lesson today.

Have a look at this sentence 'please, help me!'.

'Me' is a personal object pronoun, the object of the verb.

So, let's look at all the personal object pronouns.

We have me, you, him, her,

it, us, them.

Here are some examples:

Anna knows James well, Anna knows him well.

lnstead of Anna knows... Nadia well

we can say Anna knows her well.

lnstead of saying Anna knows French well,

we can say Anna knows it well.

Next we have us.

ln the sitcom when Victor says to Elena 'what are you doing here?'

Agatha replies 'she's staying with us'.

Finally we have them.

Anna knows Jack and Alice well,

Anna knows them well.

Wow, Anna knows a lot of people!

Well, that's all for today, well done!

You're great students and you're going to learn a lot!

l'll see you next time. Bye!
