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!
