gabrielle and i'm here with you to teach you some english did you see the first episode of our story in our sitcom today elena the spanish student arrives at agatha's house elena is very brave going to england a new country to study the language don't you think anyway are you ready to start the lesson first of all you are going to learn personal subject pronouns like i i am gabrielle you you are my student then we are also going to study the verb to be you are pedro he is marcel she is utter and finally we will look at the contracted forms of the verb to be your your pedro he's he's marcel she's she's utter so let's get started our screen is going to help you understand everything personal subject pronouns we have the first person i i'm gabrielle and the second you you're my student then we have the third person singular he which is masculine he is my father my dad she which is feminine she is my mom she is diane and it for things and animals then we have the first person plural we we are friends now and the second person plural you which is the same as the second person singular you're my students this is an important point we say you for one person and you for many people finally we have the third person plural they they're our books excellent now it's very important to remember that with the first person singular i we always use a capital letter i am your teacher okay in english we don't have different pronouns for formal and informal situations you can use you with a young boy or you with the queen of england if you want to make a situation less formal you can say call me by my first name like when agatha said to elena call me agatha you're part of the family now do you remember now are you a little tired maybe just a little but we have a bit more to learn today so let's look at the verb to be first we have i am for example i am gabrielle i am american then we have you are you are french or you are tired then he she or it is for example he is jack and she is diane it is a cup of tea then we are we are brazilian we are italian we are spanish remember you in the plural form is the same as in the singular form so we can say you are funny to talk about one person or lots of people then finally we have they are for example they are heavy okay great now when we are speaking in english we often use the contracted form of the verb to be so instead of i am gabrielle we say i'm gabrielle i am becomes i'm do you remember in the sitcom today agatha said part of the family well your is the contraction of you are he is becomes he's she is she's and it is becomes it's it's my tea we are is we're you are again becomes your and they are there like when elena in the sitcom describes her brothers their big boys well i don't know about you but i'm exhausted
