About this course

Dive into the mental world of the verb "Think." This program teaches you how to express personal opinions, reflect on decisions, remember facts, and casually discuss future plans. You will practice forming Yes/No and Information questions using "do" and "does," and master the rules surrounding the conjunction "that" (e.g., "I think that it will rain"), learning when to use it for clarity and when to drop it in casual conversation. To help you express your thoughts precisely, you will expand your vocabulary with evaluative adjectives (like "successful" and "reliable") and adverbs of grade (like "harder" and "less"). Finally, you will continue smoothing out your conversational flow by practicing H-reduction, specifically dropping the 'H' in function words after "that" (e.g., "I think that 'e needs to study").

What you'll learn

Students will learn the multiple functional uses of the verb "Think" (opinions, reflections, memory, and planning) in the Simple Present tense. They will also learn how to correctly use or omit the subordinating conjunction "that," build evaluative vocabulary with specific adjectives and adverbs of grade, and apply H-reduction for more natural pronunciation.
