Unit 4: Caring

Summary: We Are Stronger Together

Full lessonExercises

Key points

  • Every job is important: the builder, the farmer, the carpenter, the baker and the teacher all help people.
  • When people work together, they can do great things: together, we are stronger.
  • We can make a job name from a verb: verb + -er = noun.
  • Some job names do not follow this rule: carpenter, doctor, nurse, vet.
  • The ending -er sounds /ə/: farmer, teacher.

Rules to remember

verb + -er
build ➡️ builder, farm ➡️ farmer, teach ➡️ teacher, play ➡️ player.
verb ending in -e
Add only -r: bake ➡️ baker, drive ➡️ driver, write ➡️ writer.
Describing a job
He is a farmer. He works in the fields. He grows vegetables (he / she ➡️ -s).

How to do it

  1. Take the verb (build).
  2. Add -er, or only -r if the verb ends in -e.
  3. Use a / an before the job: She is a baker.

Example

A builder builds houses and a baker bakes bread.

Common mistakes

  • *bakeer* ➡️ baker
  • *He is farmer.* ➡️ He is a farmer.
  • *The farmer grow vegetables.* ➡️ The farmer grows vegetables.
