Welcome to Class 10: Learning Prepositions

• The lesson focuses on prepositions, essential for beginners learning English.

• A reminder is given about accessing previous classes through a link in the description and following the instructor on Instagram for additional resources.

Articles and Prepositions

• Explanation of using "a" or "an" based on whether the following word starts with a consonant or vowel; "box" uses "a."

• Example provided: “the apple” uses “an” because it starts with a vowel, contrasting with “box.”

Asking Questions with Prepositions

• Example question: “Where is the apple?” is emphasized for practice.

Using 'On' and 'Under'

• The phrase “the apple is on the box” illustrates usage of "on," while “the apple is under the box” demonstrates "under."

• Reinforces that understanding these prepositions requires familiarity from previous lessons.

Translation and Understanding of Basic English Concepts

Understanding Past Tense in English

• The discussion begins with the translation of "The apple is on the box," emphasizing that the focus is on past tense, not present.

• The correct past tense form is highlighted as "The apple was on the box," referencing a memorization table for verb forms.

• Clarification is made that "apple" is an object, thus using "it" instead of personal pronouns like "he" or "she."

• The importance of understanding this table for translating sentences correctly in past tense is reiterated.

Months of the Year

• A review of months starts with January and progresses through to December, encouraging repetition for better retention.

• Specific pronunciations are corrected, such as distinguishing between “September” and “November.”

• Emphasis on practicing pronunciation from top to bottom helps reinforce learning.

Days of the Week

• A quick recap of days includes Monday through Sunday, stressing the need for repetition in class.

• Prepositions are introduced: “at” for time, “in” for months, and “on” for days. This distinction aids clarity in communication.

Using Prepositions Correctly

• Examples illustrate how to use prepositions correctly when discussing time:

• Time uses "at"

• Months use "in"

• Days use "on"

Practical Application and Homework Assignment
