Learn English:  Is, And, Are, Between, Middle, Quarter,  Half

The lesson teaches simple verbs and comparisons, after reminding learners how to count 1-4.

Half and quarter are introduced since they are very common in conversation and in telling time, which is taught next.

The lesson could be written with "plus... equals," instead of "and... are... is." However, "and... are... is" are more useful words, so the lesson teaches these words.
