======================================
Would you like to take a look at the sentences above? Are they all correct? Do I have to add 'the' before four skills?
Thank you for using the Jiskha Homework Help Forum. Don't forget a period at the end of sentence one. In both sentence #2 and #3 how about switching the 2 words "English four" to "four English?"
You would improve the sentences in #1 and #3 by adding "the", and by putting four before English. In sentence #2 the word "my" takes the place of "the".
1. I'd like to talk about the four English skills
2. I'd like to talk about my four English skills.
3. I'd like to talk about how to improve the four English skills.
The sentences you provided can be improved slightly for clarity and proper grammar. Here are the revised versions:
1. I'd like to discuss the four skills in English.
2. I'd like to discuss how to improve my English language skills.
3. I'd like to discuss how to improve the four English language skills.
Regarding your question about whether to add 'the' before 'four skills', it depends on the context. Including 'the' would indicate that you are referring to specific skills that have been previously mentioned or are well-known. If you are introducing the concept of four specific skills for the first time, it is more common to omit 'the'.
So to summarize, the most appropriate sentences would be:
1. I'd like to discuss the four skills in English.
2. I'd like to discuss how to improve my English language skills.
3. I'd like to discuss how to improve the four English language skills.
