Bring the home vocabulary back onlineاِسْتَرْجِعْ لُغَةَ البَيْتِ وَالأَثَاثِ

Retrieve familiar rooms, appliances, gender and colours before adding present-tense actions and routine sequencing.

By the end

  • Explain what common appliances are used for.
  • Use أَسْتَخْدِمُ، أُشَغِّلُ، أُطْفِئُ accurately.
  • Describe a connected home routine with time and sequence words.
Foundation focus

Learn the useful sentence patterns first. The full present-tense system returns later; here you will control the forms needed to communicate about appliances and routines.
