Your First Sentences: Am, Is, Are: guided A1 early practice

The language problem this module solves

Your First Sentences: Am, Is, Are starts with language a learner can use in school, at home or with friends. The first lesson builds this result: I can say who I am and where I am from in full sentences. The checkpoint then combines the module in a short quiz and a private speaking or writing task. You may whisper, write first or use the phone recorder. A slow first attempt still counts.

Level: A1 early. This module contains 6 connected lessons. Follow the order when the topic is new, or use the lesson map to repair one specific gap.

What useful practice looks like

• I Am, You Are: I can say who I am and where I am from in full sentences.
• He Is, She Is, We Are, They Are: I can talk about other people.
• Not and Questions with Be: I can say what is not true and ask simple questions.

Use true information where possible. A sentence about your own routine, work or plans is easier to remember than a sentence copied from a model.

How to know you are ready to continue

Do not judge readiness by reading speed. You are ready when you can complete the checkpoint task with a clear message, understandable language and no copied answer. A small number of errors is normal at A1 early; errors should not hide your meaning.

If the checkpoint is difficult, repeat the lesson whose outcome matches the problem. That is faster than restarting the whole module.
