🧍 Grammar A1-1: Verb “to be” (am / is / are)

The opening material of the Fleydo A1 grammar series, written for learners of about seven to ten. It teaches the verb “to be” from the pattern outwards: a picture of the sentence shape, then a full table of am / is / are with the short forms, then tap-and-repeat cards for every person. Practice is spread across four sets — eight easy gaps, a ten-item sorting task that builds the “one thing or more than one?” habit, six items on negatives, questions and short answers, and eight harder items inside real sentences — followed by six typical errors to repair. Every single answer explains itself in language simpler than the grammar being taught. Teacher notes give a 45-minute classroom sequence, the three-column board move, what to do with a stuck learner and the follow-up topics.
