Adjectives

Look around you! Is the sky blue? Is your bag heavy? Maybe your friend is funny.

All these describing words are called adjectives. They tell us more about nouns (people, animals, things).
The tall boy is playing basketball.
She has a red dress.
It is a cold morning.

We can use adjectives to compare.
My bike is bigger and faster than yours, and it's more beautiful too.
This is the happiest day of my life!

Complete:
1 ..... is the most difficult subject.
2 ..... is the best day of the year.
3 I feel happier on ..... than on ..... .
4 ..... is more delicious than ..... .

Going to Future

Think of three things you or your classmates are going to do today. Write them down and share with a partner.

When do we use “Going to Future”?

We use it for:

• Plans/intentions → We’re going to fly to Greece this summer holiday.
• Predictions based on what we see → Look at the clouds. It’s going to rain.
• Warnings → Watch out! You’re going to fall!

Complete these sentences with your own ideas:

• Tomorrow I am going to .......... .

Present Continuous Tense

Are you reading this right now? Is your friend playing football outside? Maybe your dog is sleeping.

When we talk about what is happening at this very moment, we use the present continuous tense. 

We use the verb to be (am, is, are) + verb + -ing:
I am sitting.
She is making her bed.
They are laughing.

Try writing what your classmates are doing right now.

To ask questions, we move to be to the front (Is he dancing?). To say no, we add not (We are not sleeping).
