π Understanding 'Is' and 'Are'
Hello, young learners! Today, we're going to explore two very special words: 'is' and 'are'. These words help us talk about things and people! When we talk about ONE thing or ONE person, we use 'is'. Think of it like this: "The dog is happy." πΆ We only have one dog. But, when we talk about MORE THAN ONE thing or person, we use 'are'. For example: "The dogs are happy." πΎ Now we have many dogs! Learning when to use 'is' or 'are' correctly helps your sentences sound just right!
