English for Beginners
* Unit 1 - The Personal Pronouns
Singular (one person/thing)
Plural (two or more people/things)
As you can see, the word you can be used when you speak to one person as well as to many people.
In English everybody is addressed by the personal pronoun you. So, you can say How are you? when you great your boss as well as your best friend.
Also, the personal pronoun I is one of the few words which are always written with a capital letter. But this doesn't mean that English speakers are egotistic

Unit 2 - BE-Verb
Now that you know the personal pronouns you can make your first sentences in English. All you need is the BE-Verb in the correct form:
I am
you are
she is
he is
it is
we are
you are
they are
English is a compact language. Many words have short forms. Below you'll see the short forms of the be-verb.
I'm
you're
she's
he's
it's
we're
you're
they're
Are you ready for more? Here comes the negative:
I am not
you are not
he is not
he is not
it is not
we are not
you are not
they are not
That was easy, wasn't it? Now, the short forms of the be-verb negative:
I'm not
you're not
she's not
he's not
it's not
we're not
you're not
they're not

you aren't
she isn't
he isn't
it isn't
we aren't
you aren't
they aren't

I'm 25 years old. (or: I'm 25.)
I'm from The Netherlands.
I'm the founder of Amazing, an internet book store.
I'm very tall.
I'm married.

* Unit 4 - Possessive Adjectives
Please, compare the Personal Pronouns with the Possessive Adjectives:
I => my
you => your
she => her
he => his
it => its
we => our
you => your
they => their
That is easy, isn't it? Yet, English grammar can be tricky: Many people confuse it's and its.
Please compare:
This is my car. It's a Vauxhall. Its colour is green.

I'm a computer programmer and my hobbies are talking to people on the internet. I'm married. My wife's name is Asdis. She is a psychologist.

Unit 6 — Possessive «s»
In this unit we are taking at look at the possessive «s». Can you see what it is used for?
Please, read this text to find out:
This is a photo of Anna, her husband and her children. Her husband's name is Frank. He's an engineer. Her daughter's name is Sarah. She's 19 and she's a student. Sarah's boyfriend is an accountant. His name is Jeremy.
So, why is the «s» sometimes red and sometimes blue?

Unit 7
Simple Present
You have already learned the Personal Pronouns. Now let’s build the Simple Present of a verb. Let’s take the verb “to play”
I play
You play
He plays
She plays
It plays
We play
You play
They play
Remember: “He, she, it – the ‘s’ must fit”
Here are some examples:
I play football every weekend.
You often play the piano.
But: He plays volleyball every weekend.
She often plays the guitar.
