This time, we will use the lyrics of "💿【31】Balloons" featured in DWE Blue and the contents of the corresponding "📙BOOK3" as seeds to cultivate the seeds of learning "English at Home"📝🌱

1 Introduction of the venue

In this song,Mickey and friends discussing balloon colorsis being sung 🎈

🎵The memorable phrase "One for me, one for you" is easy for even small children to understand,“The sense of "dividing"orNumber conceptsA great scene that naturally brings out

Furthermore, because it has a structure that repeats the same melody, it often appears at DWE events,Easy songs for kids to sing along toIt is also very popular as a gift!

🎨 This song is themed around the colors of balloons, and includes red, blue, yellow, green, etc.Input of base colorsPerfect for

You can naturally expand the conversation in your everyday interactions, such as "Which color do you like?" or "What color would you like me to get?"

💡These are some of the best times to speak up👇

  • When dividing toys and crayons
  • When siblings hand out sweets
  • When you see balloons or soap bubbles in the park

In such a moment of daily life,"One for me, one for you" By simply adding these phrases, your child will easily develop the ability to express their feelings in English.

2 Learn grammar

🌸Third person singular, present tense🌸

Example 1) Minnie has a pink balloon.

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

3 Column ~Imagine you, me, and the rest~

Here is the key phrase of this song:

Minnie has a pink balloon.
(third person singular, present tense)

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

This time, let's take a look at the rules and images of the third person singular present tense✏️✨

What is the third person singular present tense?

Let's start by breaking down the terminology:

  • Third Person: People and Things Other Than "I" and "You"
    → For example, He / She / It / John / Minnie / The cat, etc. 🐱
  • Singular: one person
  • Present tense: A form that expresses what is happening now or what is happening normally

In other words, the third person singular present tense is used when you want to say that "right now" or "someone other than you or I" is doing something.

When the subject is third person singular...the verb has an S!

In the third person singular, when the subject is third person singular, the verb takes on an "s" 👇

  • I have a balloon.
  • She has a balloon.

Just this one thing can completely change the impression of the sentence.

✅ There are rules for how to add "s"!

It's not just a matter of adding an "s"...
The verb form can change depending on the ending!

rulesexample
Adding s to normal verbsplay → plays、run → runs
Endings: o, ch, sh, s, x → esgo → goes, watch → watches
Consonant + y → iesstudy → studies, cry → cries

There are exceptions, so it's great to input as much as you can while pairing "sound" and "meaning" through DWE or Home English.

Grammar for conveying current events and everyday life

In this song, Minnie talks about her current situation, where she is holding a balloon.
In other words, it's a good way to practice expressing in natural English the image of someone doing something "right now."

The third person singular is a grammar point that can be difficult for some people, but the charm of DWE and Home English is that you can learn it intuitively through play by simply speaking with the characters as the subject.

Starting with the line "Minnie has a pink balloon" from the song, why not try spreading words in the form of "〇〇 has a ~" at home too?☺️💖

4 Secrets of Practice

In the secrets of practice, Yume Mama, Besty instructors, and blog staff will share their practical methods for "home English"❣️

✅ Input of “〇〇's’ (Osunusan)   

In this song,"XX's" expresses possession, such as "Whose is it?"“ A lot will appear 🎈

for example…

  • Minnie's balloon(Minnie's balloon)
  • Goofy's balloon(Goofy balloon)

And so on, it clearly expresses "Who does it belong to?"

This "〇〇's" is a very important part of learning English, but in the DWE stories and songs,It is naturally repeated many timesSo, before you know it, it's easy to find yourself incorporating it into your children's lives.

Try using "〇〇's" in your everyday life!

However, for a clearer understanding,
Listen and speak while being mindful of "Whose this is?"It's very important 💡

For example, in everyday conversation...

  • It's Daddy's cup.
  • That's your sister's bag.

Try calling out to them as if you were labeling an actual object.

Just by using the word "XX" to describe people and possessions close to you, your child will develop a sense of ownership.

Expand your question by asking "Whose?"

Once you get used to this "〇〇's", the next step is"Whose balloon is this?"Try questions like, "Whose balloon is this?" 🎈

First of all, the song that appears in this song BOOK illustrations We recommend using the app to have fun and ask questions like, "Whose balloon is pink?" or "Whose balloon is green?"

💭 A word from the blog administrator
Like Osunu-san, when you feel like "this phrase comes naturally," you can add a little more awareness to it and expand on it...I think that kind of "practical ingenuity" is really wonderful🌸
“"〇〇's" is an expression that is easy to use in everyday life and is the perfect first step in learning English at home.
Someone's belongings, someone's place, someone's feelings...
The question "Whose is it?" opens up a child's world.
Starting today, try to find "〇〇's" around you💕
