1 Introduction of the venue

This song depicts a scene where Mickey's friends come to his house one after another to play and knock on the door.

“Knock, knock, knock! Where is Mickey?”

The repeated phrases with a light rhythm are fun, and it's a song that even children can easily sing along to.

Actually, this song is filled with some nostalgic memories for me too.

When my daughter Yume was still little, there was a time when she would often follow me to the toilet.

I closed the door and tried to take a breather...

🚪 “Knock, knock, knock! Where is mommy?”

Then, there's a knock on the door (lol)

While I thought, "At least let me take my time going to the bathroom 😂," I still remember how the exchanges in this song somehow warmed my heart.

Now my daughter is in the second grade of elementary school. Of course, she doesn't knock anymore, but when I look at the bathroom door,

“Knock, knock, knock! Where is mommy?”

When I think back to Yume's voice back then, it brings back so many nostalgic memories that I can't help but chuckle 😸💖

This song is not just an English song,

This song may become a treasured part of the everyday interactions between parents and children.

2 Learn grammar

🌸interrogative word Who🌸

Example 1) Who is knocking?

🌸present tense🌸

Example 2) I am knocking.

🌸imperative sentence🌸

3) Come into my house.

(Quoted from DWE's "Sing Along!")

3 Column ~How do you use "Who"?~

🍀How do you use "Who"?

Let's take a look at the world of the interrogative word "Who" used in "Who is knocking?"

The key phrase in this song is...

Who is knocking?
(Who's knocking?)

In this way, the interrogative word used when asking about someone is "who."


There is a group of interrogative words called "interrogative pronouns" that are used when the question you want to ask someone about is a noun such as a "person" or "thing."

There are three main interrogative pronouns:

  • who(who)
  • what(what)
  • which(Which)

"What" and "which" can also be used as interrogative adjectives before nouns to ask "What kind of?" or "Which one?"


● Forms and usage of who

“"Who" is basically an interrogative word that asks "Who?"
Depending on the role (case) in the sentence, it changes as follows:

caseroleinterrogative wordExample sentences
Nominative~ga (subject)whoWho is knocking?
(Who's knocking?)
possessive~ofwhoseWhose house is this?
(Whose house is this?)
objective case~ to / towhom
(or colloquially, who)
Who did you see?
(Who did you meet?)

📘 Whose very best friend is a mouse!There were also lines like, "Who is your best friend?"


🌼A simple way to incorporate "who"🌼

"Who" is a very useful interrogative word, even in everyday conversations.

for example…

  • 🚪 Who is at the door?(Who's at the door?)
  • 🎁 Who gave you this?(Who gave this to me?)
  • 🧸 Who is your best friend?(Who is your best friend?)

There are many situations in the daily lives of parents and children where they want to know "Who is that?"
“Like, ”Who is knocking?”Use it naturally in everyday interactionsIt's important.


interrogative word Who By learning how to use "who," your child's world of "who?" will expand in English as well.
Please try incorporating these phrases little by little into your English conversations!

✅Recreate it at the entrance

This is one of the easiest songs to recreate!

In our house, ever since we started consciously engaging in re-enactment play, my child has started to always knock on the front door when he comes back from going out or for a walk.

of course,

“Knock, knock, knock. Let me in!”

He sings and knocks on the door.

In addition to the front door, you can also try it on the bathroom door, which makes a great sound and gets the kids excited.

My two children take turns taking a bath, and whoever gets in first can ask from inside, "Who is knocking? Who is at my door?" so it might be fun to switch roles depending on the day, such as who goes in and who greets the other.

Chi-kun, who is 0 years old, is also imitating his 3-year-old sister I-chan and banging away with great joy.

When playing reenactment games, it is important not only to "recreate the song exactly as it is said," but also to "change the scene and recreate it in a different setting."

You can also recreate scenes that you can incorporate into your daily life, or combine them to create different scenes.

💭 A word from the blog administrator
I think it's really wonderful to see someone like Erinki developing the ability to recreate songs in their daily lives.
Before I knew it, the English time that parents and children enjoyed together had also become a time for siblings to communicate with each other...
This "gradually expanding circle of English" may be the true essence of English at home.
Also, the trick to reenacting the song is not to just "recreate the scene exactly as it is,"
It's about "applying and recreating it in various everyday situations."
for example,
・Entrance → Bathroom door
・Knock → Try changing to another sound

In this way, you can freely arrange and expand the scene,English expressions have become more firmly establishedReplying to @KimJinHyuk
Just by adding one more place in your home where you can play in English, your home English world will expand!
In this way, the "little ingenuity" that moms have in their practices can become hints for someone else's home...
I want to continue to cherish that connection.
