Who It’s For: (Teachers & Helpers of) Beginners

Why It’s Useful: Beyond novice levels, even beginners will want to “complete their study” of uses of the verb be.  These five excerpts from the first level of WorkLife English Grammars offer instruction in it’s and there’s sentence patterns as well as be- question & answer formats in all persons, singular & plural, affirmative & negative. 

What You’ll Do: 

[1]  Get commonly useful sentence grammar and vocabulary in strip stories and explanations. Practice them in exercises.

[2]  Use appropriate structures to converse about times, dates, weather, location—as well as be- question & answer formats needed to express physical feelings, describe illnesses, and tell about health habits.

[3]  Communicate about your own real situations, needs, or problems.
