We can talk about jobs with very simple sentences. Use he for a man, she for a woman, and I for yourself. The verb is goes with he and she. The verb am goes with I. Always add a or an before the job.

For example, we say He is a driver and She is a nurse. We do NOT say He are a driver. This is a common mistake, so be careful. The verb must match the person.

To ask about a job, we say What is your job? To answer, we say I am a [job]. For example, I am a teacher. or I am a nurse. You can also add a good or a nice before the job: She is a good doctor. Listen to the dialogue, then say the sentences yourself.

اتكلّم عن الوظيفة بالإنجليزي بسهولة

في الدرس ده هنتعلّم إزاي نتكلم عن الوظائف (jobs) بشكل بسيط وصحيح. الموضوع كله معتمد على إنك تختار الفعل المناسب حسب الشخص اللي بتتكلم عنه.

الضمائر والأفعال

  • I am = لما تتكلم عن نفسك
  • He is = لما تتكلم عن راجل
  • She is = لما تتكلم عن ست

مثال: بنقول I am a driver ومش بنقول "I is a driver". وبنقول He is a teacher ومش بنقول "He are a teacher". كتير من المتعلّمين بيقعوا في الغلطة دي، فخلي بالك إن الفعل لازم يطابق الشخص.

الـ a قبل اسم الوظيفة

دايماً بنحط a قبل اسم الوظيفة:

  • I am a nurse.
  • She is a doctor.
  • He is a police officer.

إزاي تسأل عن الوظيفة

  • What is your job? يعني إيه وظيفتك؟
  • What does he do? يعني إيه شغله؟
  • What does she do? يعني إيه شغلها؟

إزاي ترد على السؤال

بنستخدم الجملة: I am a [job]. زي: I am a teacher. أو I am a nurse. وممكن تضيف كلمة حلوة زي good أو nice قبل الوظيفة: She is a good doctor.

من الحوار اللي في الدرس

إيما بتقول لتوم: Hi Tom! What is your job? وتوم: I am a driver. وبعدين إيما بتكمل: That is a good job. What does your mother do? وتوم يقول: She is a teacher. وفي الآخر توم بيقول: Nice to meet you, Emma!

المهم إنك تتمرّن على النطق وتقول الجمل بصوت واثق. جرّب تقول: "She is a doctor" و"I am a teacher" وهتلاقي الموضوع بقى طبيعي وسهل.

Listen to Tom and Emma talk about their jobs.

  1. E
    Emma Hi Tom! What is your job?
  2. T
    Tom I am a driver.
  3. E
    Emma That is a good job. What does your mother do?
  4. T
    Tom She is a teacher.
  5. E
    Emma I am a nurse. I like my job.

Meet eight common jobs. People work every day in many places. A doctor helps sick people in a hospital. A teacher teaches children in a school. A nurse helps the doctor with patients. A cook makes food in a kitchen. A driver drives a car, a bus, or a taxi. A farmer works on a farm with animals and plants. A police officer helps keep people safe in the city. A waiter brings food to people in a restaurant.

Look at the table below. Each word is a job you can see every day. We use a or an before a job. Use a before a consonant sound: a doctor, a teacher. Use an before a vowel sound: an engineer (but a uniform because 'u' sounds like 'you').

We can also say He is a doctor for a man, and She is a teacher for a woman. The verb is goes with he and she. Read the example sentences in the table out loud. This will help you remember the new words.
