We use the possessive 's' to show that something belongs to someone or something. For example:
"That is Jennifer's dress" means the dress belongs to Jennifer.
Remember: If the person the thing belongs to ends in s we just add an apostrophe and do not add the s. For example:
"That is Carlos' tie."
The subject performs the action expressed in the verb; the subject acts.
SVO: Subject + Verb + Object
e.g. John opens the door

Lesson by Caroline Devane
The Present Simple is learned when we first begin to study English and is used all the time.
Remember that for I/you/we/they the verb doesn't change but for he/she/it you add an 's' on the end!
For example: (never/Shawn/soccer/play/at school) = Shawn never plays soccer at school.
Many verbs can have two objects – one direct object and one indirect object.
Usually the indirect object refers to a person, and this often comes first.
Elementary to Pre-Intermediate
Many English words have more than one meaning. If you only know one meaning, it is easy to get confused!
For example: Sweet.
