Lesson Plan January 24, 2025
Topic: Noun Review
In this lesson, we’ll review all the materials on "nouns” we’ve been studying for the past few weeks. I recommend reviewing the following lesson materials:
Lesson Notes
Words & Phrases
I am doing alright, but I have a slight headache from my new eyeglasses.
When did you buy them? (NOT it)
Contact lenses made my eyes look bloodshot.
Grammar
“Eyeglasses” is plural we need to use a plural pronoun; “them” not “it”
It might take a week or so to get used to them.
I lost my sunglasses. I can’t find them anywhere
Appropriate Language
"Bloodshot" means having red eyes, the blood vessels in your eyes become enlarged.
After staying up all night, his eyes were bloodshot.
She had bloodshot eyes from crying for hours.
Nouns Review
“My contacts are giving me a headache.”
“Headaches” are countable.
"I'm sorry, but I've forgotten your name. I can never remember names.”
We don’t use an article with plural nouns like “names”
"I usually listen to the radio while I'm having breakfast.”
We use “the radio” to talk about the general idea or medium of radio, not a specific radio station
"I don't usually like staying at hotels, but last summer we spent two weeks at a very nice hotel by the sea.”
"Kyomi is an economist. She lives in Japan and works for an investment company.”
I have two brothers. The older one is training to be a pilot with British Airways. The younger one is still at school. When he leaves school, he wants to go to university to study law.”
“The” is used because you’re referring to specific brothers.
“British Airways” doesn’t need an article, as it is a proper noun.
“School” and “university” don’t need articles when referring to a place for study.
