Watch and listen, then try it yourself.
Imperatives & let's
Everything from the video, in one place. Give orders, advice and suggestions.
| Use | Structure | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Instruction | base verb | Sit down. |
| Negative | Don't + verb | Don't worry. |
| Suggestion | Let's + verb | Let's go! |
Assim como em português, instruções e ordens começam pelo verbo: Sit down! = Sente-se!
Listen & echo
Play a sentence, then say it right away — copy the teacher's rhythm and melody, like an echo. Record yourself and compare.
Ouça uma vez e repita logo em seguida, imitando o ritmo e a “melodia” da frase — como um eco.
Can you write it right?
Play each sentence and type what you hear.
How do you feel?
Tap a face to listen. Use them with the verb be: I'm tired. She's happy.
▶ Teacher Thais's voiceEm inglês a gente é o sentimento, não tem: I am tired — nunca “I have tired”. Cuidado: em português dizemos “estou com sono”, mas em inglês é I am sleepy.
