Visual English Grammar - Welcome

📚 Course Overview

This foundational course introduces young learners to essential English vocabulary across seven thematic units, including animals, colors, body parts, food, family, and actions. Students will master basic descriptive adjectives and functional grammar structures like the singular 'Be' verb, adjective placement before nouns, expressing quantity and plural forms, and stating personal preferences ('I like/don’t like'). The course culminates in the practical application of the modal verb 'Can' for expressing ability and the correct use of subjective pronouns, ensuring students can construct simple, meaningful sentences about themselves and their immediate world.
