Dmitry Petrov strongly recommends that you keep the table from this lesson in your head, running verbs through this basic pattern as often as possible. By bringing the rules from this table to automatism, you will no longer experience difficulties in composing English phrases.
For a better assimilation of the material of the first lesson, we advise you to practice with the help of the exercises that we have prepared for you below. This peculiar will speed up the learning process and help you consolidate the Petrov table.
Often, some people already have some kind of knowledge base. They have a relatively large vocabulary of English words and expressions, even if on a subconscious level, but they are completely unable to put them into practice.
For beginners, this happens due to the lack of any system, which makes it difficult to use them effectively in everyday communication with English-speaking people. Therefore, one of the main principles of Dmitry Petrov's method is: "create a thread or a kind of rod where you can string all these beads."
The author of the English in 16 Hours methodology is sure that: “... any English learner will have 5-10 minutes of free time in order to repeat certain structures from the lesson 2-3 times a day.” These basic structures, in his opinion, are the most important in the English language.
Practice the basic circuit from the first lesson as often as possible. As soon as you bring the table of these 16 lessons to automatism, you will be able to express your thoughts in English without experiencing any difficulties and time to think over the phrase when speaking.
According to Dmitry Petrov, in order to effectively start learning English from scratch, you need maximum immersion in the learning process. It is worth remembering this basic rule for learning any foreign language, English is no exception.
You need to practice it as often as possible during the day, and it will be much better than doing it once a day, but spending a lot of time doing it. Take a couple of minutes to run through the basic basic English patterns we covered in the first lesson.
Words to remember
love - to love
live - live
like - like
open - open
close - close
In this edition, students actively communicate in English on various topics. Discuss the activities they did the previous day. Even Mikhail and Alice, talking about the time spent, took a lot of time. New English words and expressions are added to the colloquial "base". The teacher persistently repeats that it is necessary to bring the basic schemes for the formation of English sentences to automatism. Dasha is still absent from class.

Lesson summary:
Petrov emphasizes that when a free exchange of opinions begins, a discussion, naturally, not everything turns out exactly and correctly, and Dmitry tries not to correct the students during the conversation. Because the most important thing is to reach the level of getting pleasure, enjoying communication in English. Polishing of speech occurs after - you can polish what is already there. Then you can make adjustments, change, enrich English speech. But this does not eliminate the need to constantly "hollow" the basic schemes, so that later we do not have to be distracted by thinking that the correct grammatical formulation of words occurs automatically.

Good afternoon! Today is our tenth session. We continue free creative communication on all topics of interest to us, which are pleasing to our ears and interesting for discussion.
As you noticed, when such a free exchange of opinions, free discussion begins (naturally, not everything turns out exactly and correctly), I try not to correct it along the way. Because the most important thing is to reach the level of getting pleasure, enjoying the fact that I communicate, I interact. Everything else is sanding...
You can only grind what is already there. Then you can make adjustments, add something, change something, enrich it. This is the first. But this does not save us from the need to constantly hammer these basic schemes so that we never have to be more distracted by thinking what is there: didn’t, will I, will you, and so on. To make it work for us absolutely automatically.
