Greetings, Numbers, Verb to be (I-You) and alphabet

Greetings

When we greet someone, we use titles, like Mister, Miss or Missus, but we only use them with
last names.
 We use Mister for old and young men;
 We use Miss for single women;
 We use Missus for married women.

Let’s see some greeting examples:

Good evening Mrs. Flores. How are you?

Good evening Mr. Tello I’m fine.

Hi Jenn! How are you?

Hello Jake! Fine, thanks and you?
Good! Nice to see you again!

Good morning, I’m Frank. What´s your name?

Good morning, my name is Mary. Nice to meet you Frank!
Nice to meet you, too!

Hello Mrs. Jenson, how are you?

Good, thank you!
What is your first name?
Julie.

Sorry, are you Ann Parker?

No, I’m not. I’m Kara Evans. And are you Mark Patterson?
Yes, I am! Sorry, what’s your name again?
Kara Evans!
Oh yes, Kara! Nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you, Mark.

Good afternoon miss.

Good afternoon. What’s your name?
My name is Peter.
And what’s your last name, please?

F-L-O-K-E-R
Bye, Tom!

* Instead of saying One Hundred, you can say A hundred.

e.g. (127) one hundred and twenty-seven OR (127) a hundred and twenty-seven.

The same rule applies for one thousand (a thousand) and one million (a million)

Notice that you need to use a hyphen (-) when you write the numbers between 21 and 99.

With long numbers, we usually divide them into groups of three which are divided by a comma. e.g. 5000000
(5 million) is normally written as 5,000,000
Verb to be (I-You)

We use the verb to be for names, ages, feelings, nationalities, and professions. 
Examples:
 I am Jorge.
 You are Sofia.
 You are not Sofia.
 You are Liliana.
 I’m not a teacher.
 I’m a student.
 I’m Kevin.
 You are 35 years old.
 I’m not happy.
 Are you from Peru?
 I’m a teacher.
 Are you Sofia?
 No, I’m not. I’m Liliana. Sofia is there.

As you can see, the verb to be is used as a positive, negative, or a question, and we can also
use contractions with it.

An example of the positive use would be:

 I am Jorge or I’m Jorge
 You are Liliana or you´re Liliana

A negative use of the verb to be would be:

 I am not Sofia or I’m not Sofia
 You are not Jorge or you’re not Jorge

In a question, we use the verb to be like this:

 Are you Sofia?
(The answer would be: yes, I am or no, I’m not.)
 Yes, I am or no, I’m not.
