Английский язык за 20 уроков. Экспресс курс. Английский с нуля. Урок 5. Уроки английского языка

Main ideas / lessons

• Motivation & learning approach

  • The instructor praises consistent effort and encourages learners to watch thoughtfully and repeat pronunciation aloud.
  • Key principle: theory must be practiced to make speaking automatic.
  • Encourages using an English learning app with short daily game-like lessons (mentioned: 15 minutes/day), progressing from simple to complex.

• Core grammar goal of Lesson 5

  • Learn how to form special questions in English (questions starting with interrogative words like what, where, when, why, how, etc.).
  • Also reviews and contrasts:
    • General (yes/no) questions
    • Special questions (with question words/constructions at the beginning)

---

Methodology / instruction bullets (how to form questions)

A) General questions in Present Simple (Yes/No)

Rule: Use do/does before the subject.

• For I / you / we / they

  • Do + subject + base verb (+ object/complement)?
  • Example: Do you have time now?

• For he / she / it

  • Does + subject + base verb (+ object/complement)?
  • Example (structure explained): Does she live…? (do/does placement emphasized)

---

B) Special questions (question word first)

General formula (as taught):

• Question word + do/does + subject + verb (+ something else, if needed)

Examples:

• Where do you live?
• What do you think about this?
• When do you have time?

---

C) Special question examples by question word (as covered)

Where

• Where + do/does + subject + live/work/study/go/etc.?
• Examples:
  • Where do you live?
  • Where does she study?
  • Where do you work?

What

• What + do/does + subject + verb (+ complement)?
• Examples:
  • What do you see?
  • What do you know about this?
  • What does he recommend?
  • What do you think about this?

Why

• Why + do/does + subject + verb (+ object)?
• Examples:
  • Why do you do this?
  • Why are you learning English?
• Note: why can also be understood as “for what purpose.”

How

Two main patterns taught:

• How + do/does + subject + verb?
  • Example: How does it work?
• How + do/does + subject + feel? (feeling = feel, not “yourself”)
  • Example: How are you feeling?

Also mentioned:

• A “Russian-like” phrasing issue: English uses auxiliary first.

When

• When + do/does + subject + happen/come/etc.?
• Examples:
  • When does it happen?
  • When do you come home?
  • When do you have time?

How much / How many (more complex constructions)

• How much + singular / uncountable noun

  • How much + do/does + subject + verb (+ complement)?
  • Examples:
    • How much does it cost?
    • How much money?
    • How much time?

• How many + plural noun

  • How many + do/does + subject + verb?
  • Examples:
    • How many mistakes do you have?
    • How many people are there? (conceptually)

At what time / What time

• What time + do/does + subject + verb?
• Examples:
  • What time do you come home?
  • What time does it start/begin?

How often

• How often + do/does + subject + verb?
• Example:
  • How often do you go there?
• Expected answers may be short:
  • Every day / every week, etc.

Want + to + verb (infinitive pattern)

• Rule: want + to + verb
• Examples:
  • What do you want to say?
  • Where do you want to go?

Present “in your free time” questions

• What do you do in your free time?
  • Uses English word order with do auxiliary.
• What do you usually do in your free time?
  • usually goes between subject and main verb:
  • Question word + do/does + subject + usually + verb

Mixed practice: combining question words

Examples of taught constructions:

• How does this help you?
• What does she know about it?
• Why is this happening?
• How often do you do this?
• Where does he live?

---

D) Practice: question-answer templates (Day-wise Q&A)

The lesson includes mini-dialogue-style pairs:

• Where do you live? → I live in America / I live in New York
• What does she recommend? → She recommends this place / this restaurant
• Where do you want to go? → I want to go to the restaurant / park / this place / there
• What do you like? → I like music and sports / I like traveling / I really like traveling
• What do you usually do in your free time? → Example answers:
  • I listen to music or watch different videos
  • I go to the park or I spend time with my friends

• How often do you go there? → Every day / Every week (and optionally full sentences like I do this every day/week)

• How much does it cost? → It costs $10 / $25

• Why do you learn English? → Example answers:
  • I want to visit America
  • I want to understand native speakers
