2. Topic 1: Contrations She is She’s He is He’s They are They’re
We take two words, take some letters out, put in an apostrophe, and then make them contract into one smaller word.
We use an apostrophe ( ‘ ).
She is She’s
He is He’s
They are They’re

3. Topic 2: There is / There are
We use:
There is SINGULAR (1 object)
Example:
There is one apple.
There are PLURAL (2 or more)
There are ten apples.

4. Topic 3: How many are there?
Is asking about quantity.
We use the same structure for questions, even the answer is in singular or plural.

Make sure if it is singular or plural.
Answer using: There is = SINGULAR / There are = PLURAL

5. Topic 4: What is she / He doing? What are they doing?
Is asking about the action the subject of the questions is doing.
