Année 2024 - 2025
Suivez mes cours du Centre Social

Je fête cette année mes 10 ans de cours d'anglais sur YouTube et Kids.

Retrouvez ci-contre le résumé du dernier cours.


Tuesday, July 2nd, 2024       To be seen at the beginning of the school year, September 3, 2024 - 10 o'clock. Cheer and see you soon

Pronunciation

                  /wi/, /wai/, /wé/

- I've to quit /kwit/ as soon as possible.
- This liquid /likwid/ is the best one.

- It's quite /kwait/ good.

- Be quiet /kwét/, please !

Réponses brères

En anglais, on répond rarement
par yes ou no. On reprend le sujet,
sous forme pronom personnel, et l'auxiliaire.
- Are you at home ?
      Yes, I am / No, I am not.

Renforcer une réponse

Pour une question affirmative, la réponse sera interrogative avec une inonation descendante.
Exemple : le isn't it.
Il sert non pas à demander une confirmation, mais à renforcer l'affirmation faite dans la première partie de la phrase.
This movie is boring -> Isn't it ?
Isn't it ? = n'est ce pas ?

Autres exemples :

(affirmatif/interrogatif) :
     - We did ..., didn't We ?
     - We will .., Won't We ?
(négatif/interrogatif)
     - We didn't ..., did We ?
     - We won't .., Will We ?

Adj + Noun

L'adjectif se place toujours après le verbe (to be):
It's smal, red and in wood.

Sinon, il se place devant le nom. Retenir l'ordre avec TACOM:
Taille, Age, Couleur, Origine et Matière.

As - So

. Autant que (as/so ... as)
     -Your Doctor is as good as mine.
     -Your Doctor is not so good as mine.
. tellement (so)
     -It's so hot today.
. Quant à moi (as for)
     - As for me ...
