Talking about Daily Life
Anna has a full-time job. She wakes up early and gets dressed quickly. Before work, she likes to have breakfast with her family. Sometimes she makes a mistake when she is in a hurry. She called her friend and asked for her phone number again. Anna’s last name is Brown.
💡 Notice the Pattern
Make a mistake vs do a mistake
In English, we say 'make a mistake', not 'do a mistake'. Use 'make' for errors. Use 'have breakfast' to talk about eating the first meal.
- I made a mistake on my homework.
- We have breakfast at 8 a.m.
💬 Useful Examples
- I have a full-time job from Monday to Friday.
- Please write your phone number on the form.
- She gets dressed before school every morning.
- His last name is Lee.
