Lesson 1 - Advanced English Course

 Lesson 1



I'm

I'm' is an abbreviation for the word 'I AM.'  It is used in combination with other words to tell someone about yourself or to describe something you are doing.

Here are some examples:

"I'm so tired."
"I'm confused."
"I'm happy."
"I'm twenty three years old."
"I'm hungry."
"I'm nervous."
"I'm excited."
"I'm leaving work."
"I'm thirsty."
"I'm from Seattle."

You can also add descriptive words with 'I'm' such as:

"I'm extremely tired."
"I'm very happy."
"I'm terribly hungry."
"I am super excited."
"I'm very nervous."

............................................


I'm in/at/on

Describes an action you are doing.

Most commonly, you would use the word 'in' when entering a physical location such as a room or a building.


Here are some examples:

"I'm in the shower."
"I'm in the lobby."
"I'm in a car."
"I'm in a house."
"I'm in a school."

Using the word 'at' helps tell someone where you currently are. The difference between 'at' and 'in' is that the physical location is general.

Here are some examples:
"I'm at the grocery."
"I'm at the mall."
"I'm at the doctor's office."
"I'm at the park."
"I'm at the airport."

However, in some cases you can use 'at' and 'in' interchangeably.

Here are some examples:

"I'm at the mall."
"I'm in the mall."
"I'm at the park."
"I'm in the park."
"I'm at the grocery."
"I'm in the grocery."

Using the word 'on' is referring to a non physical location such as your time being utilized by something else.
Here are some examples:

"I'm on the phone."
"I'm on my computer."
"I'm on a bus."


.......................................................


I'm good at

Again, 'I'm' is used here as 'I am.'  'Good at' informs someone what you excel at and are comfortable doing.
Here are some examples:
"I'm good at drawing."
"I'm good at video games."
"I'm good at swimming."
"I'm good at driving."
"I'm good at reading."
"I'm good at sports."
"I'm good at writing."
"I'm good at math."
"I'm good at dancing."
"I'm good at chess."


...................................................

Questions:


  1. How are you feeling today? -  (tired/happy/confused/excited/nervous)
  2. Do you want to drink something?  - (I'm thirsty/I'm not/I do/I don't)
  3. Where are you right now?  -  ( I'm in a shower/lobby/house/car)
  4. Where do I find you? - ( I'm at the airport/mall/park/the doctor's house...)
  5. What is your brother doing now? - ( He is on the telephone/ my computer/on a bus)

The wanted - I'm glad you came




The sun goes down

The stars come out

And all that counts

Is here and now

My universe will never be 

The same 

I'm glad you came

I'm glad you came


You cast a spell on me, spell on me

You hit me like the sky fell on me, fell on me

And I decided you look well on me, well on me

So let's go somewhere no-one else can see
You and me


Turn the lights out now, now I'll take you by the hand

Hand you another drink, drink it if you can

Can you spend a little time, time is slipping away
Away from us so stay,
stay with me I can make
Make you glad you came

The sun goes down
The stars come out
And all that counts
Is here and now
My universe will never be the same
I'm glad you came
I'm glad you came

I'm glad you came
So glad you came
I'm glad you came
I'm glad you came

The sun goes down
The stars come out
And all that counts
Is here and now
My universe will never be the same
I'm glad you came
I'm glad you came
