Grammar Focus

Present Simple: subject + verb(-s)

We use the present simple to talk about facts and things that happen regularly. For he, she, or it, we add -s to the verb.

“ Momo is a small cat.
Tip: Remember to add -s for he, she, or it. For example, 'She lives' not 'She live'.
Adjectives: describing words

Adjectives describe nouns. They tell us more about a person, place, or thing. In English, adjectives usually come before the noun.

“ The robot is sad.
Tip: Put the adjective before the noun, like 'big city' or 'small cat'.
Conjunctions: and, but, because

We use 'and' to join similar ideas, 'but' to show a difference, and 'because' to give a reason.

“ She wins because she is kind.
Tip: Use 'because' to answer 'why' questions. For example, 'Why does she win? Because she is kind.'
