For those who are just starting to learn English, the names of fruits in English can be a good training base. First, having learned the names and trying to put them into practice, fruits in English can be named in the most ordinary situations - in a supermarket, in a garden, and often right in your kitchen. Secondly, fruits in English are an excellent base for combining with other thematic groups of words for elementary education - "Colors", "Shape", "Volume", "Taste", etc. That is, having learned fruits in English, you will be able to make up many phrases with a variety of adjectives, which will certainly help you fix these words in your memory.

For instance:
Apples - Apples
may be Red apples - Red apples
maybe Round red apples - Round red apples

Pears - Pears
may be Yellow pears - Yellow pears
maybe Sweet yellow pears - Sweet yellow pears

And if you want - you can mix everything - Sweet round yellow apples - Sweet round yellow apples

You can always make any chain of words yourself, depending on which words you remember. By the way, making strings of words can be a fun and useful game if you are learning English with your child. In such a game, you can also include a competitive moment - who will make the most chains, or who will make the longest chain. Everything will depend on your imagination.

We call fruits in English.

One of the frequently asked questions about "Fruit" in English is the word itself fruit - fruit, fruit... When should it be used in the singular form to indicate several fruits (considering this noun as uncountable) - fruit , and when - in the plural form - fruits ?

If we talk about fruits in general, as about food, not meaning a set of individual fruits, then we use fruit.

Fruit is cheap here. - Fruit is cheap here.

If we mean different types of fruits, we use the plural fruits.

There are pears, apples and other fruits in the menu. - The menu contains pears, apples and other fruits (types of fruits).

So with the word fruit sorted it out, let's go directly to the names. First, let's name a dozen of the most common and familiar fruits. By the way, to simplify the task for beginners, we wrote the names of fruits in English in Russian transcription.

Apple - ["æpl] - (epl) - apple

Banana - - (bae "nena) - banana

Lemon - ["lemən] - (" lemn) - lemon

Melon - [’melən] - (" melene) - melon

Watermelon - ['wɒtər‚melən] - (" watamelen) - watermelon

Orange - ["ɔrindʒ] - (" orange) - orange

Peach - - (pi: h) - peach

Pear - - (" pea) - pear

Pineapple - ["paɪnæpl] - (" pineapple) - pineapple

Tangerine - [, tændʒə "ri: n] - (tenjae" ri: n) - mandarin

Then, when these words no longer cause difficulties, you can memorize a few more fruits in English with translation, which may be useful.

Apricot - ['æprə‚kɒt] - (" epricot) - apricot

Kiwifruit - [ˈkiwifru: t] - ("kiuifru: t) - kiwi

Lime - - (" lime) - lime

Plum - [ˈplʌm] - (plum) - plum

Pomegranate - ['pɒm‚grænɪt] - (" pomgranite) - pomegranate

We learn the names of berries in English.

Memorizing English words for various fruits, one cannot ignore the names of berries in English. After all, if you recall the situations in which we use the names of fruits (for example, the name of juices, different types of ice cream, syrups, jams, etc.), a variety of berries immediately come to mind.


Please note: berries in English mostly have the word in the name Berry , which actually means - Berry.

The most common berries in speech:

Bilberry - ["bɪlb (ə) rɪ] - (" bilberry) - blueberry

Blackberry - [ˈblækberi] - ("blackbury) - blackberry

Raspberry - [ˈræzberi] - ("Rasbury) - raspberry

Strawberry - [ˈstrɔːberi] - ("strobury) - strawberry, strawberry

We use new words in practice.

Do not forget, having learned new words, use them in practice whenever possible. If you are learning English with a child, it can be a variety of games: both word games (making chains, for example, about which we wrote above), and various role-playing games - play in the "store", in the "cafe", in " dacha ". The main condition should be the maximum use of new words in the game.

If you are learning English on your own, we can offer you an effective way to practice - an online self-taught English language. By listening to short texts and performing simple exercises for them, you can replenish your vocabulary and learn how to correctly compose English sentences.

For example, you can find the names of fruits on the site in the following short text for beginners:

She often eats apples.
He often eats pears.
Does she often eat pears? No, she does not.
She does not eat pears. She eats apples.
Does he eat pears? Yes, he does.

Listen to the text

She often eats apples.
He often eats pears.
Does she eat pears often? Not…
She doesn't eat pears. She is eating apples.
Does he eat pears? Yes…

Going through such lessons, you not only consolidate new words in your memory, but also master the use of basic grammatical structures.

Hello everyone. We suddenly discovered that our blog did not have a full selection of fruits, vegetables and berries until then. It's time to fix it. Otherwise, how are you going to go to the supermarket or cook, not even knowing how to say "cranberry" or "plum" in English.

Okay. We have divided today's selection into several blocks. Let's start finally!

Fruit

The word fruit in English has two plural forms: fruit and fruits. If we are talking about any fruit in general, the word fruit is used.

For example, a shop called Fruit and vegetables (Fruits and vegetables). Or you can say: It's hard to buy fresh fruit now... It is understood that it is difficult to buy fruits in general, we do not specify which ones. If we mean various types of fruits, fruits are used. For instance: I want to buy the tropical fruits of this island "I would like to buy tropical fruits from this island." There is a clarification here, so we say fruits.

The types of fruit themselves are countable and can be both singular and plural. For example, banana is one banana and bananas is many bananas.

You can only specify "a bucket of strawberries". As for the English language, all berries can be used both in the singular, which is one berry, and in the plural, which is a collective image - the type of berries. Strawberry is one berry, strawberries are a collective image.

• Use flashcards to learn words.
• Create unusual stories in your head with the name of the fruit.
• Associate with the name of the fruit in English and some object that is familiar to you.

Save word sets, learn and expand your vocabulary. And then the next time you look abroad in a fruit shop, you can easily buy at least green beans, even figs. Keep learning!

EnglishDom # inspire to learn

When it comes to learning English, many somehow imagine tons of junk, complete grammar, and heavy vocabularies. Yes, there is, of course, an association, but not when it comes to learning a language for young children. Set up the guys that the training will be in the form of a game, with many pictures, drawings, interesting audio materials and videos. Besides, what grammar is there! After all, our students are little children, and we will have fun learning English! Our topic today is fruit in English for kids.

The topic is very interesting, ‘delicious’ ’, colorful and exciting. Which of the kids doesn't like sweet fruits! Delicious desserts cannot be prepared without fruits and berries, and we use the gifts of nature for baking. Any dessert food, in order to be cooked deliciously, should have fruits, berries, and, of course, nuts in the list of constituents. But today we will talk specifically about fruits, these truly amazing gifts of nature. Let's go for goodies and good mood!

The topic of fruit is very interesting and '' tasty '', let's just say that it is easy for kids. But for the effect to be more effective, we recommend stocking up on colorful cards depicting certain fruits. This will help improve the effect of the lesson and will attract the attention of the children even more.

So where do you start? There are a lot of fruits, and we do not recommend teaching them in a chaotic manner. First we recommend divide all fruits into fruits and berries directly... Remember that large amounts of information are difficult for babies. If you want to stuff everything into them at once, then you risk getting zero result. Divide the topic into subtopics, peculiar segments that will become parts of the whole cake. So you can break one topic into several parts and gradually saturate the children with knowledge. The way it should be.

All fruits can be classified into sweet, sour, and even bitter.... But, first you need to ask the kids what fruits they know in general. First ask in Russian, and then ask to be translated into English. If your child has a hard time concentrating, ask what he ate for breakfast or yesterday for dinner. What was his food? After a hearty dinner, dessert was supposed to come. The kid will immediately come to life and be interested. Ask what the dessert was made of. Even if buns with jam or bagels with jam were made from sweet, any jam is still made from fruits. Well, now, the topic has already begun.

Consider some fruits in English for children that are most often used in speech:

• Apple - [æpl] - Apple

• Melon - [ˈmelən] - Melon

• Orange - [ˈɔrɪnʤ] - Orange

• Lemon - [ˈlemən] - Lemon

• Banana - - Banana

Plum - - Plum

Apricot - [ˈeɪprɪkɔt] - Apricot

Peach - - Peach.

These fruits are, so to speak, basic. Knowing them, you can compose different sentences and get out of any situation. For example, if a child is asked what kind of cake it will be in a restaurant or cafe, then an apple will be in any public institution, 100%. Knowing how ‘’ apple ’’ will be in English, the answer is ready, and more specifically, ... Below we take a look at the popular names for cakes and fruit puddings. But that later. Let's take everything in order.

Sweet fruit

Bitter fruit

Speaking of bitter fruit, it's worth mentioning grapefruit (grapefruit). Another of his brothers -\u003e pomelo, which translates into English as pomelo , And How grape fruit... The fact is that the pomelo is a mixture of grapefruit and orange, which is why the grapefruit itself is also often called a pomelo. But we strongly recommend differentiating between these two fruits, because they are different.

Note! There are fruits that can be both sweet and sour. This includes \u003d\u003e

• Grape - Grape -

• Kiwi - Kiwi Fruit - [ˈkiːwiː]

Pineapple - Pineapple - [ˈpaɪnæpl]

Garnet - garnet (pomegranate) - [ˈgɑːnɪt]

Citrus - citrus (citrus fruit) - [ˈsɪtrəs]

Take note that we add a prefix to some fruits fruit... That is, if the apple is just apple, then kiwi is better to call kiwi fruit, not just kiwi... In context, everything will be clear, but the point is that kiwi has another meaning - this is the name of a New Zealand bird from the wingless order. Therefore, in order not to get confused in a conversation with foreigners, it is better to clarify so that everyone understands that your food was made from fruits, not from poultry J

Distinguishing berries from fruits

Now that we have dealt with fruits, let's look at berries. Everyone loves berries, without exception. Only one of the juicy color already gives a good mood. Consider a table with some names of delicious juicy berries \u003d\u003e

Other English topics: Exercise for children in English, we learn the language with health benefits

Note! Some berries can have multiple names! For instance, lingonberry English will be not only cowberry, she is also known as lingonberry,foxberry, red huckleberry, red whortleberry, red bilberry.

Take note that some names have the prefix redwhich means red... The fact is that bilberry -\u003e it is also blueberry... And blueberries, as we all know, are blue. Therefore, besides bilberry, blueberries are also called blueberry... But not only! Other names for blueberries are known -\u003e whortleberry, huckleberry, hurtleberry.

But there is no need to load the baby with a stream of information. To begin with, he only needs to learn one or two names. Not more. leave the details for later.

reference: blackberry also boasts several names. Besides blackberry, she is also known as dewberryand bramble.

One more interesting berry - currant... We all know that currants are red ( red currant), and sometimes black ( black currant). But! Pay attention to the white currant -\u003e white currant.

Payattention! The currant itself may also be called garden currant.

We use the game to consolidate the result

To understand that the children have studied the material and are not swimming in the subject, play a simple game with them. Ask what color the apple is and what color is orange. Which fruit is bigger - plum or persimmon? Which fruits are sweet and which are sour? Do children love grapefruit and is it tastier than juicy melon?

Ask questions from which you can make a few more questions. After the children have answered, ask Why do you think so? And what about your friend - does he support you? Ask as much as possible, and have the children study the material during your questions.

Now here are some of the names of pies and puddings that can be made from fruits. Such food will definitely intrigue the guys! As they say, cherry for dessert \u003d\u003e

• Apple Pie -\u003e apple pie
• Charlotte -\u003e charlotte
• Cherry Pie -\u003e cherry pie
• Apple pudding -\u003e pandowdy (can also be called apple pie)
• Plum pudding -\u003e plum pudding.

Explain to the kid what the word pie used with sweet pies (fruit), and the first part of the name will change depending on what kind of fruit filling we take (apples, plums, pears, etc.)

Summing up

Fruit in English – an enjoyable topic to explore that kids will love. Use colorful photos and creative materials to keep kids interested. You can use pictures of pies with fruit filling. Such delicious food attracts and just makes you learn.

Good luck and inspiration!
