How to say body parts in English. Names of human body parts in English

In studying in English a specific algorithm is important. The basis of learning English is knowing many basic things, including knowing the parts of the body in English. Of course, it is almost impossible to compile an exhaustive list of body parts, but it is still necessary to know the basic 20-30 words to get an idea of ​​human anatomy in English.

Knowing body parts in English is important, if only because this knowledge can really be useful to you. For example, on a trip abroad you will feel unwell. Then knowledge of the main parts of the body will become real help to explain to the doctor. Of course, given that the human body consists of 200 bones, we are not talking about remembering the names of all organs. But knowledge of 20-30 external and internal organs will be enough to be able to explain what exactly is hurting you.

Let's look at the 10 most popular body parts in pictures:

The table below shows the names of not only other parts of the body, but also organs.

	Rib cage
	Finger
	Toe
	Ankle
	Spine
	Forearm
	Intestines
	Pancreas
	Bladder
	Spleen

Knowing body parts in English will help you adapt faster to language environment. It is worth noting that in addition to knowing the familiar and familiar parts of the body in English, so that your language is not too dry and formal, you also need to know English idioms, including those that relate to knowledge of body parts. There are a great many such idioms, but there are about 10 main ones.

Muffin top- muffin top. Everyone knows that the top of a muffin is fluffy and even unnecessarily so, because the dough protrudes from the sides of the bottom of the muffin. An analogy is drawn with the excessively curvy sides of a woman, which are covered with jeans or trousers. This kind of embarrassment happens very often, especially with those who wear low-waisted trousers.

Saddle bags- saddle bags. Initially, it was about bags tied to the sides of the horse. Today we are talking about the fact that in Russian speech the word legs are conveyed by breeches - the excessively full hips of a woman.

Bat wings or bingo wings- bat wings. This idiom applies to flabby and sagging arms in the forearm area.

Bingo wings- the second name of this idiom. It comes from the fact that the game of bingo is often played in nursing homes, while winning, they wave their hands with pleasure.

Spare tire or spare tire. This translates to car tire. This is what they say about the so-called lifebuoy in Russian, the fat with which the waist has grown on all sides. In English, such body parts are also called donut or donut in pictures.

Beer belly- beer belly. This is what they say about a fat belly in Russian too. Or there is another English idiom - pot belly. It means pot belly, the same fat round belly.

Love handles- love handles, means full hips just above the pelvis. Think for yourself why these fatty deposits are called that.

Chubby cheeks- this is how chubby baby cheeks are often called.

Stovepipe legs- legs like chimney pipes. This idiom seems to need no explanation. We are talking about very full legs.

Cankle - calf And ankle- this is what they say about full legs when the transition between the ankle and calf is not visible.

It is safe to say that knowledge English units body is necessary if you want to learn at least the basics of the English language. And knowledge of the above idioms will make your English more similar to that spoken by native speakers themselves. And this is very important if you want to integrate into an English-speaking society.

At the same time, of course, we do not mention the names of specific bones in the human body, as well as many other specific parts of the body, because this is already the competence of a special subsection of the English language - medical terms. However, it is worth noting that if you are learning English with the aim of moving to English speaking country and getting a job, including in the medical field, you definitely need a more in-depth and consistent study of human anatomy. Only then will you be able to confirm your diploma and work in your profession in another country.

A convenient way to study human body parts in English is to write words indicating body parts in a picture of a person. This way you can not only study body parts, but also their location. And, of course, learn words faster, because many people have better developed visual memory than other types of memory. To do this, we recommend making a model of the human body so that studying the parts of the body is fun, quick, and effective.

English has become an international language due to its relative simplicity and logical construction of phrases. It is not surprising that in our country schoolchildren begin to learn it almost from the first grade. If you are no longer a schoolchild, but at one time you studied at school, say, German, which you happily forgot six months after leaving school, then you will probably need to learn at least the basic and basic concepts, the most frequently used words and phrases. For example, such as “exit”, “entrance”, “call”, “police”, “hotel”, etc. They will be very useful to you when you find yourself abroad. And knowing what parts of the body are called in English can even save your life.

Here, for example, is such an unpleasant, but quite possible situation: you received an injury to any part of the body or saw someone get it. The injury is serious enough that you call ambulance. But, without knowing how to tell which specific part of the body is injured, you will not be able to explain over the phone what exactly happened and what help you need.

Let's look at the main parts of the human body and their names in English. These should include, firstly, the head. In English it will be “head”. Transcription (pronunciation) of this word, if written in international format, it will look like this: . You can completely simplify the task and write the same transcription in Russian symbols, but you should keep in mind that in this case the pronunciation will only be approximately correct, since many sounds of the English language are completely alien to Russian, therefore, reliably depicting them using Russian symbols will be very difficult . So, the word “head” is pronounced [head], and the sound “e” should sound drawn out.

Basic parts of the human body in English

Similarly, using Russian and international transcription, we will write down other parts of the body.

• 🔊 Listen to Body [‘bɔdɪ], [badi] - body
• 🔊 Listen to Shoulder - [‘ʃəuldə], [shaulde] - shoulder

• 🔊 Listen Leg - , [leg] - leg
• 🔊 Listen to Knee - , [nii] - knee
• 🔊 Listen Calf (calves) - , , [kaaf], [kaavz] - caviar (calves of the legs) (the pronunciation of the plural body part is given in the second brackets)

Knowing the names of the main parts of the human body, you will be able to communicate with, say, the same ambulance, find out what hurts the person, etc.

How to quickly learn the names of body parts in English?

You should try to teach them with the help of pictures, tongue twisters, and various sites where you can learn words. Remember how as a child you learned parts of the human body in your native language: mouth, ears, eyes, nose... Try to do the same now - point in the mirror at yourself or at the person with whom you are learning, and pronounce the parts of the body. This way they will be better remembered in the mind. In general, look for ways, fantasize, learn from someone else!

Description of a person's appearance in English.

Just as in the first case, for some reason you may need to describe the appearance of a person, and for this you also need to know the names of some parts of the body. But, a description of a person in English, as, in general, in any other language, can consist of several hundred different parameters and characteristics, so let’s consider what gives the most accurate and understandable description of a person’s appearance - his face. After all, sometimes it’s enough to say that someone has dark long hair, a big nose and brown eyes, and everyone has already imagined this person quite vividly, isn’t it?

Parts of a human face in English

• 🔊 Listen to Cheek
• 🔊 Listen to Chin [chin] chin
• 🔊 Listen to Ear [ɪə(r)] [IA] ear
• 🔊 Listen to Eye [ay] eye
• 🔊 Listen to Eyebrows [ibrow] eyebrows
• 🔊 Listen to Eyelashes [aylash] eyelashes
• 🔊 Listen to Eyelid [ailid] eyelids
• 🔊 Listen to Face [face] face
• 🔊 Listen to Hair [hea] hair (at the end of a word, if you follow British pronunciation, there should be a faint [r] sound, pronounced as if you were not pronouncing the letter r; in American English there is no such sound)
• 🔊 Listen to Lips [lips] lips
• 🔊 Listen to Mouth [mauf] mouth (at the end - the same sound [s], at the same time similar to [f])
• 🔊 Listen to Nose [nose] nose
• 🔊 Listen to Nostril [ˈnɔstrɪl] [nostril] nostril
• 🔊 Listen to Pupil [ˈpjuːp(ə)l] [pupil] pupil
• 🔊 Listen Tooth / teeth [tus] [yew] tooth (teeth)

Interestingly, all parts of the face associated with the eyes (eyebrows, eyelashes, eyelids) have the word “eye” as a prefix in their name in English.

Example of using words in speech

Using words meaning parts of the face, you can construct something like this description of a person’s face:
He had beautiful blue eyes long eyelashes and thin brows. When his lips made a smile everyone could see his perfect white teeth. - He had wonderful Blue eyes, long eyelashes and thin eyebrows. When his lips smiled, everyone could see his perfect white teeth.

So you have studied the main parts of the human body that will help you describe it. Of course you can't become a master verbal description just like that, right off the bat - they learn the language for years. But these words will help you describe yourself or someone else in an emergency, simply explain to a passerby or a seller, and help your little son do his homework. In the end, the main thing is that the study of parts of the human body has begun. And you will be able to describe your girl’s pale pink skin color, high cheekbones, pleasant eye shape and long curly hair when you become more familiar with the language and devote more time to studying it. Learn, dare, master the English language - this is a wonderful choice! Good luck and patience!

Body Parts

Body parts are the first thing a child feels on his skin, the first thing he wants to touch and what he wants to learn to control. When the baby is picked up by his mother, he feels her hands and clings to her. He looks at her face, studying its features. When he learns to control his hands, he begins to study first his fingers, then his legs, stomach, face, etc. He also touches and visually examines body parts and facial features of mom, dad and other loved ones.

Therefore, let's start learning nouns in English from body parts. They are easy to explain without translation; you can simply point to these body parts in yourself, your child, animals and toys.

• To use the materials correctly, please read
• To properly prepare your child for lessons, read
• Don't skip topics, do them sequentially. But it is possible and advisable to return to the topics covered periodically.
• To start each lesson off right, use language transition rituals. You can read about them in Introductory Lessons
• If you are just starting to learn this language yourself, then it will be useful for you to read

Tasks

Tasks can be done in any order or combined with each other.

#1 The most important task in this topic

The most important thing for a child to learn in this topic is:

• construction This is... (It is...) / These are... (this is...)
• use of possessive pronouns my - my/my/my)
• forming the plural of nouns

An explanation of these structures can be found in the grammar reference.

Your task is to name your child’s body parts and his, as well as the body parts of his toys, with the appropriate pronouns.

Example:

1. Show on yourself:

• This is my leg (this is my leg)
• These are my legs (these are my legs)
• I raise my leg (I raise my leg)

2. Show on a male toy:

• This is his leg (this is his leg)
• These are his legs (these are his legs)
• He raises his legs (he raises his leg)

3. Show on a female toy:

• This is her leg (this is her leg)
• These are her legs (these are her legs)
• She raises her leg (she raises her leg)

4. Show on both toys:

• These are their legs (these are their legs)
• They raise their legs (they raise their legs)

5. Show on the child:

• This is your leg (this is your leg)
• These are your legs (this is your leg)
• You raise your leg (you raise your leg)

6. Show yourself and your child:

• These are our legs (these are our legs)
• We raise our legs (we raise our legs)

Repeat the same with other parts of the body. Make everything fun! Get active. Otherwise it will be a very boring task for the child.

№2

Tell your child phrases from the templates, combining different words. Speak whole phrases, not individual words (“It’s my hand”, not just “hand”). Be sure to accompany the words positive emotions and actions. Show your body parts, show your baby's body parts, and show your toys' body parts. Encourage him to repeat the movements after you. Don't translate anything. Repeat each phrase several times. It is not necessary to use all the phrases and words in one lesson. One such task should last no more than 3 minutes, then end the lesson or move on to any other task. Use toys, make scenes and mini-dialogues with them.

Example of dialogue (when the toy speaks, change your voice and facial expressions, move the toy):

• — Touch my left hand
• - It is your left hand (toy or you show your left hand or the toy’s left hand)
• — Touch my right hand
• — It is your right hand(toy or you show your left hand or the left hand of the toy)

Then you turn to the child. If he doesn’t understand, then repeat this action with the toy.

№3

Look at pictures of people and animals (you can look at large family photos). It will be good if the pictures or photographs are funny or evoke positive memories in the child. Show parts of the body and face and name them. Repeat each phrase, look at the same pictures or photographs several times.

Example:

• This is a nose. (This nose)
• This is his hand (This his hand)
• This is my leg.(This my leg)
• This is your head.(This yours head)

№4

You can mold a man out of plasticine or draw it on paper, and then show his body parts. The person must be funny. Make it very thick and very large (call it He is big / He is small), very high and very low (He is tall / He is low), very thick and very thin (He is thick / He is thin). Sculpt a leg and attach it instead of a head, shake your head and attach it in place (Is it his head? Oh, no! It is his leg!). Any absurdity will amuse your child, and at the same time evoke in him the necessary associations for memorizing words.

№5

Read any verse to your child and perform the necessary movements according to the text. Show body parts according to the text in the rhyme. You can sing each verse to any melody. Repeat the poem several times at a time. Connect toys to the game. Let them also perform the movements, show their body parts.

You will find the poems below. Some verses are repeated from the previous topic. But this only makes the learning process easier for you and your child.

№6

Watch the video, sing along (at least only those words that you know) and perform the movements.

№7

Play the games listed at the end of this topic

New vocabulary

• You should know these new words before starting classes with your child.
• You can learn words not all words at once, but in groups of 3-5 words, and gradually add them over several days

Quick Grammar Help

For parents who are starting to learn a language or do not speak it well enough:

• You need to master the following grammar rules

1. Good news! Plural nouns is formed by simple addition endings -s.

Bad news! Sometimes there are exceptions to this rule. But there are few of them, you just need to know them.

Exceptions to words in this topic: tooth/teeth - tooth/teeth, hair/hair - hear (no plural)

2. Good news! In fact, in English no concept of gender. Gender can only be determined by the context of the meaning of words in animate beings. Inanimate objects have no gender. Therefore, there is no need to decline pronouns and adjectives. Their forms never change, unlike the Russian language.

3. Bad news! In English, unlike Russian, there is a concept article. Articles are such service words that are used with nouns to give them a sign of definiteness or uncertainty. There are only 2 articles in English indefinite a (an - this form is used before nouns beginning with a vowel) and certain the .

• Indefinite article a (an) came from English word"one" (one), and literally means one of many. If you are naming an object for the first time that does not have any special features, then before the noun meaning this word you need to say a. For example, This is a hand (This is a hand, one of two), This is a finger (this is a finger, one of 10). Accordingly, this article is used only with singular nouns.
• Definite article the comes from the English word “that”, and literally means this one. If you select a specific item with certain characteristics, then use article the. For example, This is the left hand (This is the left hand, the left hand is one of a kind).

As can be seen from the examples, depending on the context, both articles can be used with the same nouns. If you are still confused and it is difficult for you to master this concept, which is not at all in your native Russian language, then you can use possessive pronouns, then there is no need to use articles.

Example: This is my hand. This is your hand. This is my left hand. This is your left hand.

3. In a sentence there must always be a verb. It is impossible to say in Russian without the verb “this is my hand.” In English it will literally sound “this is my hand” - “It is my hand”. Or “I am big” - “I am big” (literally “I am big”)

4. Auxiliary verb to be(be)used in the absence of a semantic verb (“this is my hand” - “It is my hand”). Ctense of the verb to be in the simple present tense:

• I am (abbreviated as I’m)
• You are (abbreviated You’re)
• He / she / it is (he’s / she’s / it’s
• We are (we're)
• They are (they're)

5. Auxiliary verb to do(do)used in interrogative sentences with a semantic verb (What are you showing me? - What do you show me?). Ctense of the verb to do in the simple present:

• I do
• You do
• He/she/it does
• We do
• They do

6. Word order in a question sentence: strict, words cannot be interchanged. If you leave the word order as in an affirmative sentence and use only interrogative intonation, then the phrase will express surprise, not a question. The Englishman will not understand that you are asking him, he will think that you are simply surprised by some fact.

6.1 Question of clarification or about the ownership of an item:

1. auxiliary
2. subject
3. the rest of the sentence

Example: is this your hand? - Is it your hand?

6.2. a question with a question word, but without a semantic verb:

1. question word
2. auxiliary
3. subject
4. the rest of the sentence

Example: Where is your hand? - Where is your hand?

6.3. Question with a question word and a semantic verb:

1. question word
2. auxiliary
3. subject
4. semantic verb
5. the rest of the sentence

Example: What are you showing me? - What do you show me?

Practice each version of the question separately. For each lesson with the child, one version of the question to reinforce the material. Run through each option every time maximum amount combinations of verbs and nouns already known to you.

7. Features of the question “how much”

• how many- used when asked about something that can be counted individually: how many hands do you have? How many hands do you have?
• how much- is used when it is impossible to count individually, but you can say a lot or a little: how much time do you have (a piece can only be hours or minutes, but there cannot be one or two times, only a little or a lot)? - How much tume do you have? how much money do you have (each piece can only be rubles or dollars, but there can’t be one or two pieces of money, just a little or a lot)? - How much money do you have?

8. Conjugation of the verb to have(to have) in simple present tense:

• I have
• You have
• He/she/it has
• We have
• They have

Phrases templates

• You must master these phrase patterns and try to combine, following their example, all the words from the list of new vocabulary
• You can not use all the phrases at once, but gradually add phrases with new grammatical structures (for example, first simple affirmative sentences first and second person, then add third person, then questions without question words, and then questions with question words). While you are mastering one grammatical structure, pass all new words through it in a game with your child so that the grammatical structure is remembered by you.
• If your child already knows how to count, then you can introduce counting during this lesson. Count your hands, feet, eyes, ears, etc. (one - one [uan], two - two [tu], three - three [sri], four - four [fo], five-five [five], six - six [sis], seven - seven [seven], eight - eight [eit], nine -nine [nain], ten - ten [ten]). If your child does not yet know how to count, then do not use numbers in classes yet.

Here's my hand He has a tail I show you my hand Show me your hand This is my hand. This is your hand. Where's my hand? Here's my hand What am I showing you? What are you showing me?
