I'm Minsu 我是民秀

第一个语法章!认识动词 be——I am、you are、he/she is——以及它的日常缩写(I'm、you're、she's)。英语总是需要 be,即使很多语言会省略它。学会说出自己的名字,并称某人为朋友。

I'm Minsu — 我是民秀

  1. Emma Hi! I'm Emma. 嗨!我是艾玛。
  2. Minsu Hi, Emma! I... Minsu. 嗨,艾玛!我……民秀。
  3. Emma "I'm Minsu." Say "I'm"! "I'm Minsu。"说"I'm"!
  4. Minsu I'm Minsu! 我是民秀!

My Friend — 我的朋友

  1. Ms. Carter You're Emma, and you're Minsu. 你是艾玛,你是民秀。
  2. Emma Yes! Minsu is my friend. 是的!民秀是我的朋友。
  3. Minsu And Emma is my friend! 艾玛也是我的朋友!

动词 be:am / is / are

Explanation

动词 be 把主语和"它是谁/什么"连接起来。它随主语变化:I am、you are、he/she/it is、we/they are。日常口语里它缩到主语上:I'm、you're、he's、she's、it's、we're、they're。英语总是需要 be——不能说"I a student",必须是"I am a student"/"I'm a student"。

Examples

  • I'm Minsu. I am a student. 我是民秀。我是学生。
  • You're my friend. 你是我的朋友。
  • She's a person. He's here. 她是一个人。他在这儿。
