Hello, my name is Miss Barb! Welcome to Lifeline English, the podcast that helps you know God and know English.
You can read the written script for today’s lesson online at lifelineenglish.com.
Today I want to teach you three words.
The first word is recognize. Repeat after me. RE-cog-nize. Good job! To recognize means to know a person or thing because of something you learned or experienced before. The police officer recognized the criminal’s face. Even though I hadn’t seen my first grade English teacher in 40 years, I recognized her immediately. My dog recognized the black and white hairs of the skunk and ran away.
The next word is own. Can you say own? Own can be a verb. It means to possess or to have. Do you rent your home, or own your home? If you own a home, it is your own home. That time, we used own as an adjective. It means the home belongs to you. Do you have your own car? Do you own a motorcycle? Should children have their own phones?
