twelve. Today we will talk about birthdays and dates. Let's look at the
second line in conversation twelve. It's in June. June is a month of
the year. We use big letters with months of the year. Big letters
are capital letters. Let's review the names of the months of the year.
January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August,
September, October, November, December. In conversation twelve, speaker Bee's
birthday is in June. What number month is June is June the first month
of the year. No, June is the sixth month of the year.
Let's review the days of the week. What is the sixth day of the
week. Let's see Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday,
Friday is the sixth day of the week. Let's look at line three
of the conversation what date date d A T E is similar to the word
day D A y. If someone asks what day it is, this usually
means Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, et cetera. Date is usually asking for
a number. For example, my birth day is the eighth of July,
or my birthday is the twenty seventh of October. The twenty seventh is the
date in the first example, eighth is the date. One last example,
my birthday is the fourth of August. What is the date? Fourth is
the date. Let's look at line five of the conversation, I'm writing it
on my calendar. I'm writing is a present progressive verb. It means you're
doing it right this moment, right now or at this moment. We need
two words to make a present progressive verb. We need a conjugation of to
B and we need an action with I in G. Let's review our conjugations
of to B repeat after me, I am you R he she it is
we R they R. So you need one of these to be verbs.
Second, you need your I n G verb. Writing write w R I
T E changes to writing, you take off the E and add on I
n G. Let's look at another example. Bite, I bite the pizza.
Present progressive would be I am biting the pizza. Bite is spelled b
I T E biting b I T I n G. Fighting is spelled f
I g h t I n G. Let's look at one more example.
Bake I bake the muffins in the oven. I am baking the muffins in
the oven. Remember we use this form to talk about an action we are
doing right now. For example, I am talking right now. You are
listening right now. Great job. Go practice Conversation twelve with your practice partner.
