Dear one,
Learning a new language consists in not only to learn
the idiom itself but to discover a whole and completely new
world. Studying ESL (English as a Second Language) will surely
help you exploring a wonderful part of life. Improving our
communication means not only to learn a few words, it’s much
more than that. We need to know it deeply, we need to feel it,
and we need to live it.
You are, from this moment on, becoming part of a
different culture, with different histories, with different points
of view. You are, now, becoming a different person. And
difference, when you learn how to deal with, means richness.
From now on open your mind as possible as you can, and get
ready for one of the most amazing trips in your life.
Be welcome to your world!
My best wishes,
Teacher Ingrid

Possessive Case
What is the possessive case? It’s a shorter and the most common way to say something/someone “belongs” to something/someone.
The book of Mary.1 - Mary’s book.
The friendship of Mary and Peter. - Peter and Mary’s
friendship.
The car of my father-in-law. - My father-in-law’s car.
The food of my mother is delicious. - My mother’s food
is delicious.
Does the food of Marco taste good? - Does Marco’s
food taste good?
They don’t know the story of my life. - They don’t know
my life’s story.
1 This structure is the most common in the Portuguese idiom. Also valid for the
after coming sentences.
16
In English we have regular and irregular verbs. We are going to use a
regular verb for example.
TO EAT – AFFIRMATIVE FORM
I eat We eat
You eat You eat He/She/It eats They eat
NEGATIVE FORM
I don’t eat We don’t eat
You don’t eat You don’t eat He/She/It doesn’t eat They don’t eat
INTERROGATIVE
Do I eat? Do we eat?
Do you eat? Do you eat? Does he/she/it eat? Do they eat?
It’s really uncommon to use the interrogative form with the 1st
people.

the verbs from the picture of page 15.

Cultural note
“How do I look?” is a TV show produced by Style Network. It
had been on TV from January 2004 to January 2012. The program was
hosted by Jeannie Mai. The show features "fashion victims,"
purportedly turned in by their friends, coworkers, and family members.
Although there are variations in each episode tailored to the individual
contestant, every episode follows the same basic pattern.
Physical Appearance
22
The language for physical descriptions in English is quite specific
depending on the physical characteristic you are describing.
When giving physical descriptions, the two most common verbs
to use are BE and HAVE, however, they are quite specific.
We use BE for: height, weight, skin colour.
We use HAVE for: hair (length), hair (style), hair (colour) and
facial features.
23
Practice
Do you remember verb TO BE? We are going to practice the dialogue
using it.
Example: Student 1: What does he/she/it look like?
Student 2: He/she/is is…
He/she/it has…
24
