Learning About Jobs and "To Be"
A nurse
I am a teacher.
You are a student.
John is a doctor.
Sarah is a nurse.
👉 We use the verb "to be" to describe who we are. It's like introducing ourselves.
"I" + "am" (I am a teacher).
"You," "we," "they" + "are" (You are a student).
"He," "she," "it" + "is" (John is a doctor).
Using Articles: Definite and Indefinite

Now, let's dive into articles. There are two types: definite and indefinite.
Definite articles are like pointing to a specific thing, and we use "the":
The teacher is here. (I know the teacher.)
The doctor is in the hospital. (A particular doctor I know.)
Indefinite articles help us talk about any member of a group. We use "a" before words starting with consonants (c, b, m, t):
I'm a teacher. (Any teacher in general.)
John is a doctor. (Any doctor, not a specific one.)
When the word starts with a vowel sound, we use "an" instead of "a" to make it sound better:
She's an engineer. (Any engineer, and it sounds better than "a engineer").
Practical Insights
