Talk about weekend activities

Unit 7

I CAN say what I do at the weekend.

Speaking

7 cards

Use these simple phrases to talk about your weekend. They are friendly and natural. You can use them with a friend, a classmate, or your teacher.

What do you do at the weekend? — a common question about free time
I usually + verb — for things you do every week
I sometimes + verb — for things you do not every week
On Saturday, I + verb. — for one day
On Sunday, I + verb. — for the other day

Look at this example: 'I usually relax on Saturday. I sometimes visit my family on Sunday.'

Notice the word order: subject + usually/sometimes + verb. Always use a base verb after usually and sometimes. Do not add -s here. For one day, start with On + day, then a comma. You can also say On weekends, I + verb for both days together.

When you speak, try to use a few phrases. You can say one sentence or three. Practice helps. This is a great way to share your weekend with a friend. Listen, then speak!

إزاي تتكلم عن الويكند بالإنجليزي

في الدرس ده هنتعلم إزاي تسأل صاحبك أو حد تعرفه عن اللي بيعمله في نهاية الأسبوع، وإزاي ترد عليه بشكل طبيعي زي ما الناس بتتكلم فعلاً. كل الجمل هنا بسيطة ومفيدة جداً في الحياة اليومية.

الكلمات اللي بتتكرر: usually و sometimes

usually معناها "عادةً"، وبنستخدمها لما الحاجة بتتعمل كل أسبوع تقريباً. sometimes معناها "أحياناً"، وبنستخدمها لما الحاجة مش بتتعمل كل مرة.

المهم جداً: الكلمتين دول بيتحطوا بين الفاعل (subject) والفعل (verb)، والفعل بعدهم بيفضل في صورته الأساسية من غير ما نضيف s. بص على الفرق:

I usually relax on Saturday. (أنا عادةً بارتاح يوم السبت)
I sometimes visit my family on Sunday. (أنا أحياناً بزور أهلي يوم الأحد)

التكلم عن يوم معين

لما تحب تقول إنك بتعمل حاجة في يوم واحد، ابدأ الجملة بـ On + اسم اليوم، وبعدين فاصلة، وبعدين بقية الجملة. الأمثلة:

On Saturday, I cook and clean.
On Sunday, I read a book.

لو عايز تتكلم عن الويكند كله مرة واحدة، استخدم On weekends:

On weekends, I relax with my family.

جمل تساعدك تفتح المحادثة

في الدرس فيه جمل صغيرة لكنها بتفتح محادثة كاملة:

Hi Tom! What do you do at the weekend? — سؤال ودود بتفتح بيه الكلام.
That sounds nice! — رد لطيف بيخلي صاحبك يحس إنك مهتم ويكمل.
What about Sunday? — طريقة طبيعية تسأل عن اليوم التاني.
And you? — جملة صغيرة بتسأل صاحبك يشارك تجربته هو كمان.

نصيحة صغيرة

لما تتكلم، حاول تسأل سؤال ورا سؤال عشان المحادثة تكمل. خلي إجاباتك بسيطة في الأول، كلمة أو اتنين كفاية. ومع التمرين هتلاقي نفسك بتتكلم بثقة وراحة أكتر.

Listen to two friends talk about the weekend.

Vocabulary

6 cards

The weekend is Saturday and Sunday. Many people have free time on these two days. They rest, see friends, and do fun things. What do you do? Look at these common verbs. They help you talk about free time activities.

Word	Type	Example sentence
relax	verb	I relax at home on Saturday.
visit	verb	I visit my grandmother on Sunday.
watch	verb	I watch a movie at night.
cook	verb	I cook dinner with my family.
play	verb	I play football with friends.
walk	verb	I walk in the park.
read	verb	I read a book in the morning.
clean	verb	I clean my room on Saturday.

All these verbs are easy to use in the present tense. Use I + verb to talk about you. Add -s for he, she, or it: She walks to the park. He plays football on Sunday. My mother visits her sister on Saturday. The verb stays the same after to: I want to relax at home. The verb also stays the same after I like: I like reading in the morning.

You can also use these verbs in questions. Start with Do you + verb...? For example: Do you cook on Saturday? This is a great way to ask a friend about free time. Remember: the weekend is a time to relax and have fun. You can do one activity or many. There is no right or wrong answer. Just tell the truth about your free time.

إزاي نستخدمهم في جملة

كل الأفعال دي في المضارع البسيط (present simple) وبنستخدمها كده:

I + الفعل لما بتتكلم عن نفسك، والفعل بيفضل زي ما هو من غير أي إضافة:

I relax on Saturday. (أنا أرتاح يوم السبت)
I visit my grandmother. (أنا أزور جدتي)
I cook dinner. (أنا بطبخ العشا)

لما بنتكلم عن حد تاني

He plays football. (هو بيلعب كورة)

بعد "to" أو "like"

الفعل بيفضل زي ما هو بعد to، مفيش إضافة:
