[0:00]Hi guys, hello. How are you today? You fine? Yeah, brilliant. So, as you already know, my name is Thomas, and I'm here with another English class for you. Today, we're going to talk about actions that we are doing now. Yeah. So, um, first of all, before we have a look at the grammar, we're going to look at some actions shortly. So, I'm sure you already know what this is. Yeah, sleep. So, I'm sleeping. Sleeping. Can you say it for me? Sleeping. Very good. Sleeping. Okay. What about this one?
[1:07]So, I'm running. Running. Running. Can you say it for me? Running. Running. Very good. Stand up and run with me. Come on. Run, run, run. So I am running now. Running. Very good. Okay, what else have we got? What about this one?
[1:36]So this one, dancing. Dancing. Dancing. Dancing. Can you dance? Yeah, I can't. But this is dancing. Very good. Can you say it for me? Dancing. Dancing. Very good. Okay. What about? Oh, I'm going to be terrible at this, but let's try. I told you, and this is singing. Singing. Singing. Singing. Can you say it for me? Singing. Very good, singing. Brilliant. Okay, so we've got sleeping. We had running. What about? There's a very good sport which I really love. So this is swimming. Swimming. Swimming. Swimming. Very good. Can you say it for me? Swimming. Swimming. Very good. Okay, and the last one we're going to do today is, let me get one thing that we need. So, I have, what's this? Yes, it's a book. And so I'm, I'm reading. Reading. Reading. Very good. Well done. Okay. So, let's just double check if you remember all of them. So, what was this one? Yes, sleeping. Very good. What about this one? Yes, running. Very good. So, we took sports. What about this one? Swimming. Very good. What about this? Dancing. Very good. Okay. What about this? Singing. Very good. And the last one was, I have a book. Reading. Very good. So, that was reading. Lovely. So now we know the vocab that we need, and we're going to ask the question, okay? So, today, we're going to go through some grammar that you can ask not just your friends, family, but you can ask about other people as well. So, the first word is what, because we don't know what, swimming, running, reading, what? What? Now, we're going to be asking you, he, a boy, she, a girl, or it, for example, your dog, or a cat. So, you can ask it. We, so you and I together, we, or they. Yes, so maybe your parents, they, other people, they. Okay. And so, because we ask him about or we're talking about situations that are happening now, now, like I am speaking, yeah, I am sleeping and so on. So, the question when you ask for you, we have to use R. Yeah. So, what are you? He, she, it's going to be different. I'm going to tell you in a minute. For we is the same. And for they, it's also R. Yeah. So, it's very important that we use the verb to be here. Yeah. So, that's at the second place. So, what are you? And then, because we're talking about now, yeah, the time we are doing something now, we have to use ing at the end. So, ing form is very crucial for this. So then I can ask you, what are you doing? What are you doing? And you would say, well, you are watching me, right? Or maybe, if I ask you, what are you doing? Yeah. And then you say, I, if you're talking about yourself. So, I am. So, I am. And doing, same.
[7:22]So, sleep with ing at the end. So, I am sleeping. Very good. Again, this is very important as well as this one. So, I am sleeping. What are you doing? What are you doing? And you say, I am reading. I am reading a book. I'm reading a book. Okay, let's try one more. What are you doing? What are you doing? And you say, I am dancing. I am dancing. Very good. All right, so that was for you, right? Uh, if we're asking, we, or they, and again, so, what are we doing? And we say, we are. And again, sleeping. We are reading. We are running. Very good. And so on. For they, very similar. In the answer, we just swapped the places.
[8:46]So, what are they doing? Mom and Dad, what are they doing? And you say, they are. So, they are dancing. They are, what are they doing? They are sleeping. Very good. Okay. And now you have to be very careful because for he, boy, she, a girl, and it, your dog or a cat, we don't say are, as we do here. For other persons, what we say is, is. So, what is he doing? Again, the ing at the end is the same. Yeah. So, what is he doing? What is he doing? What is she doing? What is it doing? And then again, at the beginning, you start with the person, he, she, or it. Right, where should we put it? Right, let's put it here. So, he, she, or it. Now, we have to remember the is, right, it's very important. So, for example, if I ask you, what is he doing?
[10:25]Can you tell me? What is he doing? And he, he is sleeping. He is sleeping. Very good. What about she? What is she doing? What is she doing? And you say, she is running. She is running. Right, very good. And what about your dog? What is it doing? What is it doing? Well, you got a dog. Can your dog sing? No, your dog can't sing.
[11:19]Can your dog read a book? No. Okay. So for the dog, I'm sure your dog can swim, right? So tell me, what is, what is it doing? What is it doing? And you say, it is swimming. It is swimming. Yeah. So my dog is swimming. Very good. Okay. Well done, guys. So, let's have one more final practice with, excuse me, before we go. So, I'm going to be a teacher for now, and I'm going to ask you the question again. All right. So, what are you doing? What are you doing? And you say, I, I am running. Very good. Okay. What is she doing? What is she doing? And you say, okay. So, what is she doing? She is sleeping. She is sleeping. Okay, let's do one more, shall we? So, what about your dad? Your dad is that, and we ask, what is he doing? What, what is he doing? And he's, And we say, what is he doing? He is dancing. He is dancing.
[13:25]Very good. Lovely, guys. That was brilliant. Quite challenging today. Because this is not easy grammar for you. I know. But again, we use this grammar when things are happening now at this time. So, like now, I am sleeping. Almost. Very tiring lesson today. Very active as well, but you did great. So, good job for that. All right, guys. Anyways, I suggest you watch this video again just to make sure you really get it right. And I'll see you again next time with another fun English class with me. So, by then, I hope you do well. Take care and see you soon. Bye bye.
