15 cards

Welcome to the Unit 10 Review! In this unit, you learned how to talk about cooking, recipes, and food. You practised imperatives to give instructions, can / can't to talk about ability and permission, and polite ordering language to ask for food in a café or restaurant.

Cooking verbs are very useful in the kitchen. Here are the main verbs you learnt:

Verb Meaning
boil cook in hot water
fry cook in oil in a pan
bake cook in an oven
roast cook in an oven with oil
chop cut into small pieces
peel take the skin off
stir mix with a spoon
pour put liquid into something
add put something in
mix put things together

Look at the imperative. We use it to give instructions. We do not add a subject:

  • Chop the onions. (not "You chop")
  • Don't add too much salt.
  • First, boil the water. Then add the pasta.

Use words like first, then, after that and finally to put the steps in order. This makes your recipe clear and easy to follow.

For ability and permission, we use can / can't:

  • I can cook pasta. (ability)
  • She can't bake a cake. (ability – negative)
  • Can I have a coffee, please? (request / ordering)

Remember: can is the same for I, you, he, she, we and they. The negative is can't (or 'cannot' in formal writing): 'I can't cook', 'They can't bake', 'He can't boil an egg'.

For polite orders in a café, we often use:

  • Can I have a burger, please?
  • I'd like a glass of water.
  • Anything else? / That's all, thank you.

Using capital letters — Always begin every sentence with a capital letter. Also use capital letters for names of people and places, and for the personal pronoun 'I'. In a recipe, capital letters also start the name of the dish.

Now it's time to review everything and write your own recipe!

ملخص الوحدة العاشرة: المطبخ والمطعم

في الوحدة العاشرة اتعلمنا حاجات كتير عملية عن الطبخ والوصفات وطلب الأكل في الكافيه. درسنا كمان إزاي ندي تعليمات في المطبخ، وإزاي نتكلم عن قدرتنا على عمل حاجة، وإزاي نطلب حاجة بشكل مؤدب.

أفعال الطبخ (Cooking Verbs)

ال verbs دي أساسية في أي مطبخ، وخلي بالك إن كل واحد ليه استخدام مختلف:

  • boil — تسلق في مية سخنة (boil an egg، boil water)
  • fry — تقلي في زيت (fry the chicken)
  • bake — تخبز في الفرن (bake a cake)
  • roast — تشوي في الفرن بزيت (roast the potatoes)
  • chop — تقطع قطع صغيرة (chop the onions)
  • peel — تقشر (peel the bananas)
  • stir — تقلب بملعقة (stir the soup)
  • pour — تصب سائل (pour the milk)
  • add — تضيف (add some salt)
  • mix — تخلط مع بعض (mix the flour and water)

صيغة الأمر (Imperatives)

ال imperative بنستخدمه لما ندي أوامر أو خطوات. لاحظ إننا ما بنحطش subject قبله خالص:

  • Chop the onions. (مش 'You chop the onions')
  • Don't add too much salt.
  • First, boil the water. Then add the pasta.

عشان ترتيب الوصفة يبقى واضح، بنستخدم كلمات ربط مهمة زي first، then، after that، و finally.

can / can't — القدرة والطلب

ال modal verb can بنستخدمها لحاجتين مهمين:

  • للتعبير عن القدرة: I can cook pasta. (أقدر أطبخ باستا) / She can't bake a cake. (هي مش عارفة تخبز كيك)
  • للطلب المؤدب: Can I have a coffee, please?

خد بالك إن can واحدة لكل الـ subjects (I, you, he, she, we, they)، وال negative بتاعها can't أو cannot في الكتابة الرسمية.

طلب الأكل في الكافيه (Ordering Politely)

لما تروح مطعم أو كافيه، استخدم التعابير دي عشان تطلب بشكل مؤدب:

  • Can I have a burger, please?
  • I'd like a glass of water.
  • Anything else? (فيه حاجة تانية؟)
  • That's all, thank you. (كده كفاية، شكراً)

الحروف الكبيرة (Capital Letters)

افتكر دايماً: ابدأ كل جملة بـ capital letter، وكمان استخدمها ل أسماء الناس والأماكن، ولـ I (حتى لو في نص الجملة)، وكمان ل اسم الأكلة في أول الوصفة.

دلوقتي جه وقت المراجعة! استخدم الـ review cards اللي تحت، ولما تحس إنك جاهز، اكتب وصفتك الخاصة بيك وطبق كل اللي اتعلمته.

PREPARE — gather your ideas

Think about your favourite meal. Answer these questions in your notebook or in your head:

  • What is the name of the meal?
  • What ingredients do you need? (4 or 5)
  • What are the steps to make it? (5 or 6)
  • Do you need to chop, boil, fry, or bake anything?
  • What do you need to use? (pan, oven, knife)

Make a list of the ingredients and a list of the steps. Use imperatives for the steps: 'Chop...', 'Boil...', 'Add...', 'Stir...'.

WRITE — your recipe

Now write a short recipe for your favourite meal. Include:

  1. The name of the meal (with a capital letter).
  2. A short list of 4–5 ingredients.
  3. 5–6 imperative steps in the correct order. Use 'First...', 'Then...', 'Finally...'. Remember: no 'you' in imperatives.
  4. End with one sentence about how it tastes: 'It is delicious!' or 'It is very nice!'.

Remember to use capital letters at the start of every sentence.

REVIEW — check your writing

Read your recipe and check these things:

  1. ☐ Does every sentence start with a capital letter?
  2. ☐ Did you use imperatives? (Chop, Boil, Add, Stir — without 'you')
  3. ☐ Did you use can / can't correctly?
  4. ☐ Did you use First, Then, Finally to order the steps?
  5. ☐ Did you use full stops at the end of every sentence?
  6. ☐ Are the ingredients and steps clear and easy to follow?

If yes to all — great work! Your recipe is ready to share.
