Fruits in English. All fruits and berries in English

We continue to expand our vocabulary. As you know, the most effective way to remember English words is a grouping of them by topic. Some students even keep their own dictionary, in which they write down words grouped according to a specific topic. This is extremely helpful for learning.

Today's thematic selection of words consists only of the names of fruits and berries on. A relatively small vocabulary will allow you to memorize the names of the most common fruits in the world. By the way, what is the advantage of this lesson compared to all similar ones on the network? You can immediately hear the pronunciation of all words. To do this, your attention will be presented with a voiced video with pictures. Of course, it is not always clear from the pictures what kind of fruit it is, so after the lesson a text version of the lesson will be presented with the translation of all words into Russian.

The use of vocabulary on the topic "Fruit"

A few examples from life where you can practice using the new learned words for fruit names:

• buy fruits in the store;

🔊 Can I have two kilos of apples? - May I two kilos of apples?

• harvest fruit.

🔊 This year was very fruitful. We picked ten tons of tangerines. “This year has been very fruitful. We have collected ten tons of tangerines.

Plural of fruits in English

All fruit names are countable except for the word itself. fruits. They can be used both in the singular and in the plural. For example:

🔊 Orange(one orange) 🔊 Oranges (lots of oranges).

Difference between Fruit and Fruits

The point is that 🔊 fruits and 🔊 fruits are the two plural forms of the word fruits. There are the following differences between them:

• when we talk about fruits in general, then fruits in English are uncountable and are used in the singular form - fruits. Usage example:

If you speak some English, you probably know words like apple, banana and orange. But there are many more fruits and berries. Today I want to offer you a selection of the names of fruits and berries in English with transcription.

Some lexical and grammatical features

Berries in English often end in berry (plural berries). Actually, "berry" is translated as "berry".

For example, raspberry, strawberry. At the same time, berries often have several names (translations) at once.

For example, blueberries - bilberry, whortleberry. There are even berries that can have 4 names. Do not be surprised if you find some names in the dictionary, and, for example, others on Wikipedia.

Some of them are most common in American English, others in British English, and others are more suitable as a botanical name. In my selection, I tried to choose the most common options.

Berries are countable nouns, so they can be either singular or plural. For example, strawberry-strawberries (strawberries are like one berry - a lot of strawberries); berry-berries - berry-berries.

Difference between fruits and fruits

The very word "fruit" - fruit (s) "can be used in the singular and, that is, it can be both countable and uncountable noun. In Russian, we will translate both options as “fruits”, i.e. in the plural (with the exception of the moment when exactly one particular fruit is meant).

• If the word "fruit" is used in a collective, abstract sense, that is, all fruits in general or any fruits as a type of food are meant, then it is used in the singular - fruit.

For example,

Do you like fruit? - Do you like fruits? (generally, any)

We sell fruit. - We sell fruits. (no matter what, any)

• If the word "fruit" means different types of fruits, then we use the plural - fruits.

For example,

What fruits do you like? - What fruits do you like? (implied - what kind of fruit)

There are apples, oranges, peaches and other fruits on the table. There are apples, oranges, peaches and other fruits on the table. (certain types of fruit)

• If we mean one particular fruit, then we use and translate the word "fruit" in the singular.

For example,

Can I taste this fruit? May I try this fruit? (meaning this particular fruit)

When it comes to learning English, for some reason, many people imagine tons of waste paper, complete grammar, and heavy dictionaries. Yes, of course there is an association, but not when it comes to language learning by young children. Set up the guys that the training will be in the form of a game, with a lot of pictures, drawings, interesting audio materials and videos. Plus, what's the grammar? After all, our students are small children, and we will have fun learning English! Our topic today is fruits in English for children.

The theme is very interesting, ''delicious'', colorful and exciting. What kid doesn't love sweet fruit! Delicious desserts cannot be prepared without fruits and berries, and for baking we use the gifts of nature. Any dessert food, in order to be cooked deliciously, should have fruits, berries, and nuts, preferably in the list of ingredients. But today we will talk about fruits, these truly amazing gifts of nature. Let's go for goodies and good mood!

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

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

All fruits can be divided 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 translate into English. If the child is having trouble concentrating, ask what they had for breakfast or for dinner yesterday. What was his food like? A hearty meal was followed by dessert. The kid will immediately come to life and become interested. Ask what the dessert was made from. Even if there were buns with jam or bagels with jam from sweets, all the same, any jam is made from fruit. Well, 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 pie he will be in a restaurant or cafe, then an apple pie will be in any public institution, 100%. Knowing how it will be ''apple'' in English, the answer is ready, and more specifically, . Below we will look at popular names for fruit cakes and puddings. But that's later. Let's get it right.

sweet fruits

bitter fruits

Speaking of bitter fruits, it is worth mentioning here grapefruit (grapefruit). Another one of his fellow -> pomelo, which translates into English as pomelo , And How grape fruit. The fact is that a pomelo is grapefruit and orange mix, so the grapefruit itself is also often called a pomelo. But we strongly recommend distinguishing between these two fruits, because they are different.

Note! There are fruits that can be both sweet and sour. This includes =>

• Grapes - Grape -

• Kiwi - Kiwi Fruit - [ˈkiːwiː]

Pineapple - Pineapple - [ˈpaɪnæpl]

Pomegranate - garnet (pomegranate) - [ˈgɑːnɪt]

Citrus - citrus (citrus fruit) - [ˈsɪtrəs]

Take note that we add the prefix to some fruits fruits. That is, if the apple is just apple, then kiwi is better called kiwi fruit, not just kiwi. Everything will be clear in the context, but the fact is that kiwi has one more 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, and 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 colors already gives a good mood. Consider a table with some names of delicious berry berries =>

Other English topics: Charging for children in English, learning the language with health benefits

Note! Some berries can have several names! For example, cowberry not only in English cowberry, she is also known as lingonberry,foxberry, red huckleberry, red whortleberry, red bilberry.

Note that some names have the prefix red, which means red. The fact is that bilberry -> this is also blueberry. And blueberries, as we all know, are blue. Therefore, in addition to bilberry, blueberries are also called blueberry. But not only! Other names of blueberries are also known -> whortleberry, huckleberry, hurtleberry.

But you do not need to load the baby with a stream of information. To begin with, it is enough for him to learn one or two names. Not more. Leave the details for later.

Reference: blackberry also boasts several names. Apart from blackberry, she is also known as dewberryandbramble.

Looking for one interesting berry - currant. We all know that currants are red ( red current), and sometimes black ( black current). But! Pay attention to white currant -> white current.

PayAttention! Currant itself can also be called garden current.

We use the game to consolidate the result

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

Ask questions that can turn into 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, let the children learn the material during your questions.

And now we give some names for pies and puddings that can be made from fruits. Such food sure to intrigue the kids! As they say, cherry for dessert =>

• Apple Pie -> apple pie
• Charlotte -> Charlotte
• Cherry Pie -> cherry-pie
• Apple pudding -> pandowdy(may also be called apple pie)
• Plum Pudding -> plum pudding.

Explain to the child 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 – A fun topic to explore that kids will love. Use colorful photos and science materials to further interest children. You can use pictures of pies that have fruit fillings. Such delicious food attracts and simply makes you learn.

Good luck and inspiration!
