This first lesson focuses on helping beginners speak English confidently by using a simple structure: I + am + (other words). The video explains how Kannada speakers often skip certain words like “am” or “a/an,” but in English, these are essential for correct sentences.
🔑 What This Lesson Covers
You learn how to talk about four basic things in English:
-
Your name
-
Your profession
-
Your nationality
-
Your feelings
📝 Introducing Your Name
-
When saying your name, you do not use a or an.
Example: I am Ranjith.
👨🏫 Talking About Your Profession
Use a or an:
-
Use a if the next word starts with a consonant sound
I am a teacher. -
Use an if it starts with a vowel sound
I am an engineer.
🌍 Describing Your Nationality
Nationality follows the same rule:
-
I am an Indian.
-
I am an American.
😊 Expressing Feelings
When talking about emotions or where you are, a/an is not used:
-
I am happy.
-
I am sad.
-
I am here.
🧩 Key Grammar Insight
Even if Kannada allows dropping certain words, English needs correct grammar for clear meaning. Using “am,” “a,” and “an” in the right places makes your sentences sound natural and correct.
📝 Practice Exercise
