学べること

こんにちは！このチャプターでは、英語でのコミュニケーションがもっと楽しくなる「所有」と「欲求」の表現を学びます。まずは「Tom's car（トムの車）」のように、物の持ち主を表す「's」の使い方と、「Whose（誰の？）」という質問の仕方をマスターしましょう。旅行中に忘れ物をした時や、友達と持ち物を確認する時にとても役立ちます。さらに、英語の大切なルールである「数えられるもの（りんご等）」と「数えられないもの（水やお金等）」の違いも整理します。これを知るだけで、レストランでの注文がぐっと正確になりますよ。最後に、毎日必ず使う「like（好き）」「want（欲しい）」「need（必要）」を練習しましょう。「コーヒーが飲みたい」「手助けが必要」など、自分の気持ちをストレートに伝えられるようになります。このチャプターを終える頃には、身の回りの物について説明したり、自分のニーズをはっきり伝えたりできるようになります。初心者の方でも大丈夫、一緒に楽しくステップアップしていきましょう！

Review Summary

  • Owner + 's + Object
  • Countable (a/an/plural) vs Uncountable (some)
  • I + like/want/need + noun

よくある間違い

In English, we prefer the possessive 's for people rather than 'of'.

Wrong: This is the bag of Tom.
正解: This is Tom's bag.

Coffee is uncountable. You must add a countable container like 'cup'.

Wrong: I need two coffees.
正解: I need two cups of coffee.

Like is followed by a noun or a verb with -ing. Do not use 'to' with a noun.

Wrong: I like to coffee.
正解: I like coffee.
