Key Topics to Revise

1

Understanding 'Is' and 'Are'

  • The words 'is' and 'are' are helping verbs used to describe something that is happening now (present tense).
  • 'Is' is used with singular subjects like 'he', 'she', 'it', 'this', 'that', or a single person or thing.
  • 'Are' is used with plural subjects like 'we', 'you', 'they', 'those', 'these', or more than one person or thing.
2

Using 'An' Correctly

  • 'An' is used before singular nouns that start with a vowel sound (a, e, i, o, u).
  • It means 'one' and is used only with singular countable nouns.
  • We say 'an egg', not 'a egg', because 'egg' starts with the vowel sound /e/.
