I’m from…

— Hello, boys and girls! My name is Kyle.

— Hello, everyone! My name is Sophia.

— Hello, friends! I’m Melanie.

— Hello! I’m Jackson.

— Welcome to our lesson!

— We are happy to see you!

Today in the lesson we will:

● talk about countries and nationalities;

And

● put the knowledge into practice.

Let’s start our lesson!

Where are you from?

We use this question if we want to know what city or country a person considers as “home”.

The translation is:

Откуда ты (вы)?

To answer this question, we can use the following construction…

We put the subject in the first place. It can be a noun or pronoun. For example:

I

He

She

It

You

We

They

Then we need to use one of the forms of the verb “to be”: am, is or are. For example:

I am

He is

She is

It is

You are

We are

They are

After that we put the word “from” and write the name of the country.

For example:

I am from Canada.

He is from Canada.

She is from Canada.

It is from Canada.

You are from Canada.

We are from Canada.

They are from Canada.

Now look at the screen, please!

Here you can see 10 different people.

They would like to tell you where they are from.

Listen to them, please!
