​COMMON EXPRESSIONS
Different ways to say HELLO 
Instead of saying Hello, you can say:
● Good morning​: buenos días 
● Good afternoon​: buenas tardes 
● Good evening​: buena noches 
 Curso De Listening y Pronunciación 
Aprenderinglesamericano.com

We  use  these  expressions  to  express  good  wishes  for  greetings  at  a  certain 
time of a day. They are more formal than “​Hello​”. 

In more informal contexts, you can use the phrases below to say “Hello”:
● Hey, how are you? 

0
● Hey, how’s it going? 
● Hey, how are you doing? 

2
Because  ‘How  are  you?”  is  usually  used  to  start  conversations  as  a  greeting. 

0
We  don’t  actually  respond  by  telling  people  how  we  are  feeling  like  ‘Estoy 
cansada’ or ‘estoy enojada’.  

2
We usually respond with a greeting in return, like 
● Hi 

A
● Hey 

I
● How are you?
● Hi, good morning/afternoon/evening 

A
Or you can say: 
● I’m good, thanks. How are you?
● I’m fine. Thanks. 

*Avoid this mistake: 

Some of my students make this mistake of saying “Good night” as a
greeting  at  night  time.  Note  that,  we  only  use  “​good  night​”  to  wish 
someone  a  good  sleep at night, or to say goodbye. If you greet someone late 
in the day, remember to say “​Good evening​” instead of “​Good night​”. 

Look at this example dialogue where people use ‘good night’ to say goodbye 
 Curso De Listening y Pronunciación

A: Good night.  
(Una buena noche.) 
B: Good night. Have a good evening 
(Buenas noches. Ten una buena tarde. )

A: Thank you. You too  
(Un gracias. Igualmente.)

I am / I’m + name.

We use this expression to introduce our name to people. 
I’m Carmen Rivera.

I’m​ Jenny Lim.

TO BE WITH I, WE, YOU

I
Hi. I’m Cody.
Introducing  yourself  is  one  of  the  first  things  that  you’ll  learn  in  any 

A
language.  Today,  we’re  going  to  look  at  simple  sentences  made  with 
pronouns and the verb to be starting with the three pronouns: I, you and we 

Pronouns: ​I​, ​YOU​ AND ​WE 

In  English,  the  pronoun  ‘I’ is used to refer to yourself, “​you​” is used to refer to 
the  listener  (it  can  be  one  or  more  than  one  person),  and  “​we​”  is  used  to 
refer to a group of people including yourself.
In  a  sentence  like  I’m  Carmen  Rivera,  the  pronoun  is  the  subject  of  the 
sentence (the person that the sentence is about). Similarly, 
● ‘We’ is the subject of the sentence ‘​We're not in the same class.​’ 
● ‘You’ is the subject of the sentence ‘You’re in room B.’
 Curso De Listening y Pronunciación 
Aprenderinglesamericano.com

We  call  ​‘I’​,  ​‘you’  ​and  ​‘we’  subject  pronouns.  Pronouns  that  are  used  as 
subjects of sentences.  

Subject  Example 

I ​(yo) 
 

2 0
0
I am Sophie.
(Yo soy sophia) 

2
A
You ​(tú) 

I
 
You are Bernie.
(Tu eres bernie) 

A We ​(nosotros) 
 
We are in New York. 
(Estamos en Nueva York.)

Remember  that  almost  all  sentences  in  English  need  subjects.  The  next 
thing that is important in a sentence is the verb. Let’s look at the verb to be.  
 Curso De Listening y Pronunciación 
Aprenderinglesamericano.com

The verb to be WITH I, YOU AND WE

​ hat is the verb “be”? 

W
In  this  dialogue,  “​am​”  and  “​are​”  are all the verb “​be​”; “​to be​” in English is the 
same as “ser” and “estar” in Spanish;

0
We  usually  use  the  verb  “​be​”  after  a  pronoun  when  we  talk  about  names, 
age, jobs, locations or feelings. 

2
We will learn how to talk about all of t

0
Where does “be” go in a sentence?

2
In statements, “​am​” is used right after “​I​”, and “​are​” is used right after “​you​” 
and “we”:

Pronoun  To be 

A
I  
am Jenny.

I
(yo) 

You
are  in Room B. 
(tú) 

A
We 
are  not in the same class. 
(nosotros)

Note: unlike in Spanish in which pronouns can be omitted in sentences:  

Yo soy un estudiante = Soy un estudiante. 

In English, we cannot omit pronouns in sentences: 

I am a student, NOT ​Am a student​. 

To form Yes/No questions, put “​am​” in front of “​I​” (am I…?), and “​are​” in front 
of “you” and “we” (Are you…?, Are we…?).
 Curso De Listening y Pronunciación

You​ a
​ re​ in Room B. 

Are​ ​you​ in Room B? 

In negative short answers, “​not​” is put after “​be​”:

To be Subject Short answer

2
Am   I  in Room B, too?  Yes, you are. / No, you’re not. 

Are you Jenny Loo? Yes, I am. / No, I’m not.

0
Are   we   in the same class?  Yes, we are. / No, we’re not. 
Note that “​be​” is not used in its contracted form in affirmative short answers. 

2
(Yes, ​I am​. NOT ​Yes, ​I’m​.) 

ACTIVITY 8​: Fill in the blanks with a suitable form of the verb ​be​: 

A
1. ________ you John? - No, I ________, I________ Jack.

2. Hi, I ________ your new neighbor. I________ in Room E. 
3. _______ we in the same block? No, we ________.

ACTIVITY  9  ​(Audio-A1-USE-1)​:  Listen  again  to  the  dialogue  and 
arrange the sentences in the order that you hear them:

You’re in Room B. 

We’re not in the same class. 

And I’m Jenny.

Am I in Room B, too? 

Yes, I am. 

What is a contraction? How does it work in a question?

0
In their full form, “​am​” and “​are​” are pronounced as below: 

2
am ​/em/ 

are ​/ r/  

0
In spoken English, “​I’m​”, “​you’re​” and “​we’re​” are used more often than “​I 

2
am​”, “​you are​” and “​we are​”, respectively. We call “​I’m​”, “​You’re​” and 
“​We’re​” contractions:
