IN English There is special shape expressions of the arrangement of things. For these purposes, revolutions are used there is Andthere are . In this lesson we will look at in what cases and how to use these phrases correctly, as well as some of their distinctive features.

There is one chair in the room. -IN room ( There is ) one chair.
There are some chairs in the room. -IN room ( There is ) some chairs.

1. The English quite often use the phrase there is/ there are, mainly to mark where and what is located, so the location is present in the sentence. The turnover itselfthere is/th e re are it is customary to putat the beginning of a sentence. Let's look at examples:

There is a knife on the table. -On table ( There is, lies) knife.

Video on the topic “My Family”:

For each of us, family is the most precious thing there can be. Often, when meeting people, we are asked to talk about how we live, about our family, about our parents. If you are learning English, then let this topic help you talk about your family. How can children tell about their family in English?

This topic will also be useful for children. Because at the end school course English speaking, a child must have a certain knowledge of topics that he can talk about, build a dialogue, and tell. The theme of family is one of them.

Each family ( family), usually consists of several people. Sometimes these are some distant relatives, godparents, etc. But now we will look at the most basic family members in English, parents and close relatives ( parents and close relatives). So, let's figure out who is who in the family in English:

• Grandfather (grandpa, granddad) - grandfather
• Grandmother (grandma, granny) - grandmother
• Father (daddy, dad) - father
• Mother (mummy, mum, mom) - mother
• Sister - sister
• Brother - brother
• Son - son
• Daughter - daughter
• Uncle - uncle
• Aunt - aunt
• Cousin - cousin/cousin

It is important for children to be able to tell something about each family member. Who is who by profession, what hobbies, etc. In English it can be done something like this:

• My father is a builder. He builds houses. He is strong and clever. — My father is a builder. He builds houses. He is strong and smart
• My mother is a teacher. She likes children and she likes to read books. — My mother is a teacher. She loves children and loves to read books
• My granny doesn't work. She is pensioner. She tells very interesting fairy tales. — My grandmother doesn’t work. She is a pensioner. She tells very interesting tales
• I have a sister. She is a university student. She likes sports. - I have a sister. She is a university student. She loves sports.

If we're talking about about spouses (spouses), here they are in English:

• Husband - husband, spouse
• Wife - wife, spouse

Pay attention to example sentences with these words:

• I love my husband, he is the best. — I love my husband, he is the best
• John's wife is very hard-working. — John's wife is very hardworking.

Also, we would like to bring to your attention a small set of words that relate to more distant relatives. It will be interesting and useful not so much for children as for beginners learning English. So:

• Father-in-law - father-in-law, father-in-law
• Mother-in-law - mother-in-law, mother-in-law
• Daughter-in-law - daughter-in-law
• Son-in-law - son-in-law
• Stepfather - stepfather
• Stepmother - stepmother
• Stepbrother - stepbrother
• Godfather - godfather
• Godmother - godmother
• Godson - godson
• Goddaughter - goddaughter

Examples of sentences with these words and their translation into Russian:

• My son got married; now I have a daughter-in-law. — My son got married, now I have a daughter-in-law
• My father-in-law is a very wise man. — My father-in-law is a very wise man
• I am going to visit my godfather. — I'm going to visit my godfather.

How to talk about family in English?

This is very important for children. This topic often found in textbooks, on exams, and in simple conversation. The words we cited above, as well as a few more details, will help you talk about your family.

Describe each member of your family, tell us what they are interested in, where they work. Tell us about each of them's hobbies. Briefly tell us about family traditions and holidays, and what you do when you get together. Don't forget to mention yourself, because you are also a member of your family.

So, you can tell about your family something like this:

My family is not big. We are four: my father, my mother, my brother and I. My father is a doctor, he treats people. He likes his work very much. Also he is fond of taking pictures.
My mother is an economist. She likes mathematics. When she has some free time, she cooks very tasty cakes. We always help her all around the house.
My brother is a university student. He is learning to be a doctor like our father. He is also a good sportsman, he plays tennis and football.
My name is Alex, I am a pupil. I also like sport and reading books.
I like when our family gets together. Then we discuss films and books, listen to the music. On weekends we visit our grandparents. In summer we go to the seaside or to the mountains.
I love my family very much. It is the best family in the world.

If you have any difficulties with the translation, here it is:

My family is small. There are four of us: my father, my mother, my brother and me. My father is a doctor, he treats people. He loves his job very much. He is also interested in photography.
My mother is an accountant. She loves mathematics. When she has free time, she makes very tasty cakes. We always help her around the house.
My brother is a university student. He is studying to be a doctor, like our dad. He is also a good athlete, he plays tennis and football.
My name is Alex, I am a student. I also love sports and reading books.
I love when our family gets together. Then we discuss films and books, listen to music. On weekends we visit our grandparents. In summer we go to the sea or to the mountains.
I love my family very much. This is the best family in the world.

This or something like this is how you can talk about your family in English. I repeat that this topic is very important for the lexicon. Practice doing this with your child, using our text as a template.
