Today's lesson will be devoted to easy communication on various topics related to our life experience. When learning a foreign language, it is very important to remember that the best way to study a foreign language is to speak (the best way to learn a foreign language is speaking). Expressing your own thoughts allows you to develop and improve language skills.
Easy communication as a tool for mastering a foreign language
Grammar is undoubtedly a useful thing, but it serves only basis of our speech, practical communication. The grammatical constructions studied by us in such detail, in fact, are nothing more than foundation on which we build brick by brick building, speech. Trying to master a new language, string the words you know like beads on fishing line - grammar chart but do not be afraid to make a mistake, for fear paralyzes and enslaves. Remember, language is given to a person for communication, and silence in this case is by no means gold!
So, the main grammatical tense, which helps to talk about what happened to us for a certain time ago called past simple and is formed as follows:
| Positive Sentence (+) |
Negative Sentence (-) |
Interrogative Sentence (?) |
| V (2/ed) …. | didn't v... | DidV…? |
| 1. It gave gave | 1. It didn't give me a chance to see wonderful paintings. - It did not give I have the opportunity to see wonderful pictures. | 1. Did it give me a chance to see wonderful paintings? - Dalo Is it possible for me to see wonderful pictures? |
| 2.We rehearsed a new play yesterday. - We rehearsed new play yesterday. | 2.We didn't rehearse a new play yesterday. - We didn't rehearse new play yesterday. | 2. Did we rehearse a new play yesterday? - And yesterday we rehearsed new play? |
* is the subject of the sentence, expressed by a pronoun (I, she) or a noun (price - price, game - game), and V- a verb that conveys an action, put in the second form if it is an irregular or regular verb with the addition of an ending -ed.
How do you know if a verb is correct? Very easy wrong need just learn by heart ! There is a table of irregular verbs for this. Here are some of them:
| Verb | Verb 2 | Verb 3 | English translation |
| feed | fed | fed | feed |
| go | went | gone | walk |
| See | saw | seen | see |
| meet | met | met | meet |
| lose | lost | lost | lose, lose |
| win | won | won | win, win |
| take | took | taken | take |
| be | was | were | to be |
| give | gave | given | give |
To form a sentence, choose a form from second speakers!!!
If the verb does not appear in the table of irregular verbs, then there is no problem, just add the ending to the base -ed.
If the sentence is negative or interrogative, we use the first form of the verb because we use auxiliary DID !
Now back to real life situations.
Picture yourself touring actor or actress(actor, actress), who is asked about what has happened in his new life lately. Let's spend discussion(discussion) on a given topic.
– What did you do yesterday?(What did you do yesterday?) - the interlocutor asks with interest. - Was there something interesting in your life?(Has anything interesting happened in your life?).
You, of course, begin to describe what happened. The first thing a wandering person needs is to point out the fact that he does not sit still, but travels. How? The fastest and most common way is air transportation. "Fly" in English to fly, and if your flight (a flight) took place yesterday, then you flew(form of the verb in the simple past tense). Did you fly to Riga yesterday? Let's say
I flewto Riga yesterday - I'm summer yesterday l in Riga.
Note! the preposition indicates the direction of your flight "to" - flu to Riga, to moscow, to London.
With travel figured out, back to your occupation. You are an actor (or just a creative person), which means that people, the audience are extremely important to you, their perception is important - perception, the way they perceive(perceive) and absorb[əb'zɔːb] (understand) what you want to convey to them. As a rule, for a good game, the audience remains extremely grateful[‘greɪtf(ə)l], grateful.
However, there are no two identical people in the world and, moreover, the same nations, which means that the question should be answered:
What is the difference between….? - And in what difference between….?
And, of course, describe your impressions[ɪm'preʃ(ə)ns] impressions from visiting this or that city, city[‘sɪtɪ].
Dialogue Expressions
Here are a few more useful words and expressions that can be useful in a friendly dialogue, dividing them into groups.
Firstly, introductory constructions of the type are very important:
- I will be short - I will be brief.
- At the end of the talk - at the end of the conversation.
- At the same time - at the same time.
- Fortunately / unfortunately - fortunately / unfortunately.
- In a positive/good sense - in a good way.
- It means - it means.
- Sure - of course.
unfortunately, we never met before- Unfortunately before we never met.
Don't forget to use similar expressions!
Secondly, one cannot do without the names of objects and phenomena of reality in speech.
- Price - price.
- Team - a team.
- Opinion [ə'pɪnjən] - opinion.
- Space - space.
- Stage - scene. On stage - on the stage.
Thanks to our team spirit we won. - Thanks to commands spirit, we won.
Thirdly what we do in life.
- To spend time - spend time.
- To keep silence - to remain silent.
- To go to bed - go to sleep
- To feel - feel / feel.
After the rehearsal I felt better - After the rehearsal, I felt better.
And, of course, adverbs-indicators of time and frequency of action.
- Often [‘ɔf(t)(ə)n] / seldom [‘seldəm] - often / rarely
- Usually [‘juːʒ(ə)lɪ] - usually
He often repeated that on air - He often repeated it on the air.
We seldom went to restaurants. - We rarely went to restaurants.
One more thing! Every modern person needs to be familiar with the names of some realities. For example, we often use biblical names in speech:
- jesus christ - jesus christ
- Virgin Mary - Mother of God
- Trinity - the Trinity (the famous (famous) icon of A. Rublev, exhibited in the Tretyakov Gallery, has a similar name.
- And, of course, the Bible itself.
So for contemporary (modern) knowledge of a foreign language is an urgent need, but learning it is not easy, because you have to (you must, you need) memorize and constantly keep in mind a huge amount of information. And nothing will help in this better than practical training.
1. Translate into English.
- Unfortunately, I did not see Rublev's icons.
- Usually we respected the elders.
- After the rehearsal, the actor went to sleep?
- I was very thankful to you.
- It didn't mean we had to go to Paris.
- How did you take the news?
- What is included the difference between you?
2. Learn by heart the verbs in the table, make up your own sentences with them.
3. Learn all the words and expressions given in the text of the lesson by heart. Try to describe to yourself constantly describing the situation that happened to you.

Dmitry Petrov strongly recommends that you keep the table from this lesson in your head, running the verbs through this basic pattern as often as possible. By bringing the rules from this table to automatism, you will no longer experience difficulties in composing English phrases.
For a better assimilation of the material of the first lesson, we advise you to practice with the help of the exercises that we have prepared for you below. This peculiar will speed up the learning process and help you consolidate the Petrov table.
Often, some people already have some kind of knowledge base. They have a relatively large vocabulary of English words and expressions, even if on a subconscious level, but they are completely unable to put them into practice.
For beginners, this happens due to the lack of any system, which makes it difficult to use them effectively in everyday communication with English-speaking people. Therefore, one of the main principles of Dmitry Petrov's method is: "create a thread or a kind of rod where you can string all these beads."
The author of the English in 16 Hours methodology is sure that: “... any English learner will have 5-10 minutes of free time in order to repeat certain structures from the lesson 2-3 times a day.” These basic structures, in his opinion, are the most important in the English language.
Practice the basic circuit from the first lesson as often as possible. As soon as you bring the table of these 16 lessons to automatism, you will be able to express your thoughts in English without experiencing any difficulties and time to think over the phrase when speaking.
According to Dmitry Petrov, in order to effectively start learning English from scratch, you need maximum immersion in the learning process. It is worth remembering this basic rule for learning any foreign language, English is no exception.
You need to practice it as often as possible during the day, and it will be much better than doing it once a day, but spending a lot of time doing it. Take a couple of minutes to run through the basic basic English patterns we covered in the first lesson.

love - to love
