Mastery of the English language is an open door to a universe of opportunities. In this journey, every step counts, from understanding the importance of a correctly used article to constructing coherent and cohesive sentences. Reflecting on what we have learned allows us to identify common mistakes and correct them, ensuring that our foundations are solid to build on.

What is the correct article before a consonant?

Articles in English establish harmony between sound and meaning, and are key to grammatical correctness. One of the common errors is the improper use of the article "an" in front of a consonant. The rule is clear:

• We use "a" before words that begin with a consonant sound, as in:
• A profile
• A message

How do we conjugate the verb "to be" with "it" and "you"?

The verb"to be" is fundamental in English, and using it correctly is a sign of linguistic competence. The proper conjugation for the subject "it" is "is", while for "you" is "are". For example:

• It is purple
• How old are you?

These examples demonstrate the correct forms for referring to characteristics and asking personal questions.

When do we use plural nouns?

Understanding the difference between singular and plural is vital for effective communication. The presence of numerical determiners or plural verbs indicates that the noun should be plural. For example:

• There are three messages.
• There are three books on the shelf.
• There are three cars in the parking lot.
• There are three students in the classroom.

The word "three" and the plural verb "are" tell us that the noun "message" must be in the plural.

How do we use possessive adjectives correctly?

Possessive adjectives state to whom something belongs, and it is important to use the correct one according to the subject we are referring to. In the case of "their hobby", "their" is a possessive adjective that we use to talk about something that belongs to two or more people.

In general, possessive adjectives are valuable linguistic tools for adding details, expressing personal relationships, and avoiding misunderstandings in everyday communication. 💡 They are like brushstrokes that add color and connection to our language! ✨

What happens when we describe colors incorrectly?

Describing colors in English seems simple, but it's important to do it accurately. If there is a discrepancy between the description and the actual color, we must correct it:

• It is not orange; it is blue.
• The shirt is not red; it is green.
• The flowers are not yellow; they are pink.
• The car is not black; it is silver.

What tools did the classes give us to communicate?

During the course, multiple tools have been provided that now form your language kit for communicating in English. These include:

• The alphabet
• The correct use of "a" and "an".
• Phrases with "it's" and "there are".
• Professions and subject pronouns
• Colors, numbers and greetings

Why should we keep learning and practicing?

Language learning is an ongoing process, and constant practice is crucial for improvement. This course may be over, but your English language journey is just beginning. The Platzo website has provided you with a space to understand essential concepts that you can now use with confidence.

What is the next step after completing the course?
