One more thing. In writing and speaking we usually ‘contract’ the Subject and Be Verb! Look and listen to how it is different. I will say the normal way, the contracted positive and the contracted negative. Listen to 2 different ways to say the contracted negative!
I am - I’m - I’m not
You are - You’re - You’re not/ You aren’t
He is - He’s - He’s not / He isn’t
She is - She’s - She’s not / she isn’t
It is - It’s - It’s not / It isn’t
We are - We’re - We’re not / We aren’t
They are - They’re - They’re not / They aren’t
Practice repeating these so you remember. Also practice online with your teacher next class! That is all for this week. See you next week!
