Script

Welcome to your English class!

Today’s topic is: My Family – Describing People.

We use possessive adjectives to show who something belongs to.

“I” becomes “my”. For example: “This is my brother.”

“You” becomes “your”. For example: “Is that your dog?”

“He” becomes “his”. For example: “That is his car.”

“She” becomes “her”. For example: “She loves her job.”

“We” becomes “our”. For example: “This is our house.”

“They” becomes “their”. For example: “Their children are happy.”

Now let’s describe people!

Use adjectives like: tall, short, happy, sad, old, young, friendly, kind,

Example:
“My sister is tall and happy.”
“Their grandfather is old, but he is kind.”

Let’s practice with a short dialogue:

A: Who is that?
B: That’s my cousin. He’s young and friendly.

Great job!

Remember: Possessive adjectives and descriptive words help you talk about your family clearly.

See you next time!
