Grammar Discovery: (recycling) verb be: I am / You are + What's your...?

Look at these questions from the dialogue. What small word comes after What?

What's your phone number? → What IS your phone number?

What day is your class?

What's = What + is (like I'm = I + am)

Expected answer: What's = What is. Same contraction pattern: I'm, you're, what's.

Explain:

How do we ask for information?

What's your name? — What is → What's (contraction)

What's your phone number? — Same pattern: What's your ___?

Quick Check (oral):

1. Say: "What___ your name? ('s / 're / 'm)"

Expected: 's

If wrong: What goes with IS: What's = What is.

2. Say: "What day ___ your class? (is / am / are)"

Expected: is

If wrong: Day is singular → IS.

3. Say: "What___ your phone number? ('s / 're / 'm)"

Expected: 's

If wrong: What's = What is. Always What's for things.

Explicação (PT-BR):
Reciclagem de I am = I'm, You are = You're. Novo: What's = What is. Pergunta: What's your ___? = Qual e o seu ___?

Practice

15 minutes

Watch for:
- Phone numbers: digit by digit (five-five-three...), NEVER grouped. Brazilians tend to group.
- Three /θriː/: tongue between teeth. Error #1 — students say 'tree' /triː/. Exaggerate the /θ/.
- Wednesday /wenzdi/: the 'd' is silent. Write on the board and cross out the 'd'.
- Thursday /θɜːrzdi/ vs Tuesday /tuːzdi/: similar sounds for Brazilians. Exaggerate the /θ/.
- Capital letters: days ALWAYS capitalized in English. Different from Portuguese (segunda, terca...).
- What's: contraction of 'What is'. Teach as fixed expression: 'What's your ___?' = 'Qual e o seu ___?'
