Maya

Hello! Welcome to Muse English! I'm Maya.

Lena

And I'm Lena! Today we go outside. We look at the sky. At nature.

Maya

Our five words today are all about nature. The first word is sky. The sky is the big space above us. Clouds are in the sky. The sun is in the sky. The sky is blue today!

Lena

The sky is beautiful! I love a blue sky. In the morning, the sky is bright. At night, the sky is dark. Look at the sky! Can you see the sky?

Maya

Yes! And at night we see the moon. Our second word is moon. The moon is round and bright. The moon is in the sky at night. The moon gives us light at night.

Lena

The moon is so pretty. I look at the moon from my window. A big, round moon! Do you like the moon, Maya?

Maya

I love the moon! When the moon is big, I smile. The moon looks at us. Hi, moon!

Lena

And next to the moon, we see a star. Our third word is star. A star is a small bright light in the night sky. I see one star, then I see another star. A star is small but bright.

Maya

I like that star! A star twinkles at night. A star is beautiful. So many stars in the sky!

Lena

Many stars! I count the stars. One star, two stars, three stars. A star is lovely.

Maya

Great idea, Maya! Now, our fourth word is leaf. A leaf is the flat green part of a tree. The tree has a leaf. Look at the leaf! A leaf is green. I see a leaf on the tree. One green leaf!

Maya

A green leaf! A leaf is small and flat. In spring, the leaf is new and green. I pick up a leaf from the ground. A pretty green leaf! Do you like a leaf, Lena?

Lena

I love a leaf! And our fifth word is stone. A stone is a small hard rock. A stone is gray and smooth. The boy holds a stone. We find a stone on the road.

Maya

A stone! I have a stone in my hand. A smooth, round stone. Children love a stone. We make a small tower with a stone and another stone. A stone is strong!

πŸ“Grammar: Review: talking about the past (Simple Past)

Today we review, not learn. The **third conditional** is a B2 topic. We need **simple past** first. The **simple past** talks about yesterday. Use **was** and **were** for the past. I **was** happy. They **were** big. Use **saw** for see in the past. Use **found** for find in the past. Now use the day's words in the past. I **saw** the moon. The sky **was** blue.
