BOOK TWO, REVIEW TWO
N: Review Two. For this lesson,
you need a pencil and a piece of paper.
Repeat these words after me.
I you he she it we you they
These words are pronouns. They take the place of nouns, and they come before the verb, so they are subject pronouns. Examples:
John is a doctor; he is a doctor. He is a subject pronoun.
The book is green; it is green. It is a subject pronoun. Those people are from South
America; they are from South
America.
They is a subject pronoun.
Let's practice changing ncuns to
subject pronouns. Listen to the
sentence, then change the
subject (the word or words before
the verb) to a subject pronoun,
and then listen to the correct
new sentence.
M: John is a doctor.
F: He is a doctor.
M: The book is green.
F: It is green.
M: Those people are from South
America.
F: They are from South America.
M: That hat is expensive.
F: It is expensive.
M: Carol and Susan are talking.
F: They are talking.
M: Susan is at home.
F: She is at home.
N: Now let's change the verb forms
to contractions. First, let's
practice the contractions. Listen
to the full form, then repeat the
contracted form.
F: lam
M: I'm
F: you are
M: you're
F: he is
M: he's
F: she is
M: she's
F: it is
M: it's
F: we are
M: we're
F: they are
M: they're
N: Now repeat the practice
sentences with contractions.
M: John's a doctor. The book's
green. Those people are from
South America. That hat's
expensive. Carol and Susan are
talking. Susan's at home.
N: And now change the noun
subjects to subject pronouns, and
again use contractions. Then
listen to the correct sentence.
M: John's a doctor.
F: He's a doctor.
The book's green.
M: It's green.
Those people are from South
America.
F: They're from South America.
That hat's expensive.
M: It's expensive.
Carol and Susan are talking.
F: They're talking.
Susan's at home.
M: She's at home.
N: OK. Listen.
me you him her it us
them
These are object pronouns.
Repeat them after me.
me you him her it us
them
Now listen to some example
sentences.
M: John likes Mary. John likes her.
F: Mary likes John. Mary likes him.
M: We're talking to our friends.
We're talking to them.
N: Now listen to combination
sentences. The noun subjects
change to subject pronouns, and
the objects change to object
pronouns.
M: John likes Mary, and Mary likes
John.
F: He likes her, and she likes him.
M: Mary likes John, and John likes
Mary.
F: She likes him, and he likes her.
M: We're talking to our friends, and
our friends are talking to us.
F: We're talking to them, and
they're talking to us.
N: And now, repeat some sentences
with subject pronouns and object
pronouns.
He likes me, and I like him. I'm
looking at her, and she's looking
at me.
F: You're thinking about him, and
he's thinking about you. We're
watching them, and they're
watching us.
M: They like you, and you like
them. She likes him, and he
likes her.
N: Now listen to a letter from Susan
to her mother and father, and
have your pencil and paper
ready. Each time you hear a
subject pronoun or an object
pronoun, write it down. Just
write the pronoun. For example,
if you hear "I'm," write I,
because I is the pronoun. Ready?
F: Dear Mom and Dad,
How are you? I'm fine, and work
is wonderful. I'm working hard
now. I'm writing a script. It's for
a weekend story on sailing. I
want to do the story alone. But I
have to work with Jake Seltzer.
Do you remember him? I get a
headache when I think about
him.
John is fine. I like him a lot.
And he likes me. He's a
wonderful person - nice,
handsome, and smart. But there's
a problem. He has a job offer in
Denver. He's very happy about
it, but I'm not. I feel nervous
about it. Denver is fifteen
hundred miles from Stamford!
You can call me on Saturday or
Sunday morning.
All my love,
Susan
P.S. Thanks for the great
clothes! I'm wearing the sweater
right now!
N: Well, now, how many pronouns
are there in the letter? How
many do you have on your sheet
of paper? Twenty-six? there are
twenty-six pronouns in the
letter. The pronouns are:
you, I, I, I, it, I, I, you, him, I,
I, him, I, him, he, me, he, he,
he, it, I, I, it, you, me, I
The letter is in your textbook.
Find the pronouns! This is the
end of Review Two.
