Speak about your relatives!
Great! It’s finally the time when you can use the new words in your speech. You have to talk about your relatives but don’t worry, the following patterns will help you. Just put the names of your true relatives into the sentences. Here are the example sentences. Remember, you can always improvise. It means you can use different verbs or adjectives, negative forms instead of positive, and vice versa.
Отлично! Теперь время использовать новые слова в речи. Тебе нужно рассказать о своих родственниках, но не волнуйся, следующие формы помогут тебе. Просто подставляй имена своих родственников в предложения в примерах ниже. Помни, что ты всегда можешь импровизировать. Это значит, что ты можешь подставлять другие глаголы или прилагательные, использовать отрицательные формы вместо положительных и наоборот.
