Listen to the audio file in lesson 1. There are five sentences.
Listen to each sentence and count the number of words in each sentence. Try to count the number of words without writing anything on paper. You will write the sentences later.
- he’s > he is
- she’s > she is
- we’ve > we have
- they’d > they would
Contractions count as two words.
I’ve never really understood why she’d always arrive late to work.
This sentence contains thirteen words.
