I can review the module: talk about my life and my apartment, say what I do and where I work and what hurts, and not mix up Je mi…, Bolí mě…, and Mám….

What we review
A summary of the module: there are no new rules.
• Your life in the past: narodil(a) jsem se, studoval(a) jsem, přijel(a) jsem; to one person with vy: … jste se narodil / narodila?
• Where: v / na + the “where” form: v bance, ve škole, na nádraží.
• Your job: pracuju jako + the word unchanged; for a woman -ka, -ice, -kyně.
• opravit, vypnout, vyplnit, podepsat: after můžete / musím and in the past.
• Age, pain, how you feel, what you have: Je mi … let, Bolí mě …, Je mi špatně, Mám … See the table.
• The A1 singular cases: the first table.
• byt and být differ only by the mark: choose by the meaning.
The module is over: now you can talk about your life, your apartment, and your job, tell a doctor what hurts, and get through a government office.
Singular cases at A1
One table for everything you know.
| Question | Form | Examples |
|---|---|---|
| who / what? | the dictionary form | Ostrava, vlak, Marek |
| whom / what? | fem. -a → -u; masc. anim. -a / -e | Ostravu, vlak, Marka |

Age, pain, how you feel, and “I have”
English says “I'm …”, “my … hurts”, “I feel …” and “I have”; Czech uses four different phrases.
| What we say | In Czech | Not like this |
|---|---|---|
| age | Je mi … let | ×Mám … let |
| what hurts | Bolí mě … | ×U mě bolí … |
| I feel sick / fine | Je mi špatně / dobře | ×Jsem špatně |
| I'm sick / tired | Jsem unavený / nemocný | ×Je mi unavený |
| what I have | Mám … | ×U mě je … |
