how to correctly use 10 pairs of

6
00:00:18.880 --> 00:00:22.160
really confusing words these are words

7
00:00:22.160 --> 00:00:23.119
that both

8
00:00:23.119 --> 00:00:25.439
learners of english and seasoned

9
00:00:25.439 --> 00:00:27.199
speakers of english

10
00:00:27.199 --> 00:00:30.960
get wrong words like luggage and baggage

11
00:00:30.960 --> 00:00:33.200
they mean the same thing but we use them

12
00:00:33.200 --> 00:00:35.040
in different ways sometimes

13
00:00:35.040 --> 00:00:38.640
what about stationary and stationary

14
00:00:38.640 --> 00:00:40.719
pronounced in the same way but again

15
00:00:40.719 --> 00:00:42.079
different uses

16
00:00:42.079 --> 00:00:44.559
what is the difference between

17
00:00:44.559 --> 00:00:45.920
complicated

18
00:00:45.920 --> 00:00:49.120
and complex is there a difference

19
00:00:49.120 --> 00:00:52.719
and how should we use beside

20
00:00:52.719 --> 00:00:56.079
or besides all of this

21
00:00:56.079 --> 00:00:58.879
will be covered in this lesson before we

inbox there is also a quiz

65
00:02:21.680 --> 00:02:23.760
in the pdf which i think you will really

66
00:02:23.760 --> 00:02:25.680
like number one

67
00:02:25.680 --> 00:02:29.360
luggage or baggage

68
00:02:29.360 --> 00:02:33.040
luggage or baggage so luggage and

69
00:02:33.040 --> 00:02:35.120
baggage are quite unusual because they

70
00:02:35.120 --> 00:02:36.000
are

71
00:02:36.000 --> 00:02:39.040
near perfect synonyms of each other

72
00:02:39.040 --> 00:02:41.519
both of them mean suitcases or other

73
00:02:41.519 --> 00:02:42.160
bags

74
00:02:42.160 --> 00:02:43.599
in which to pack your personal

75
00:02:43.599 --> 00:02:45.599
belongings for travel check in your

76
00:02:45.599 --> 00:02:47.200
luggage at the desk

77
00:02:47.200 --> 00:02:50.160
pick up your baggage from the carousel

78
00:02:50.160 --> 00:02:51.360
they mean the same thing

79
00:02:51.360 --> 00:02:54.160
however baggage has several additional

80
00:02:54.160 --> 00:02:55.200
meanings

81
00:02:55.200 --> 00:02:58.159
which luggage does not have there is

82
00:02:58.159 --> 00:02:58.639
also

83
00:02:58.639 --> 00:03:00.720
a slight preference of baggage in

84
00:03:00.720 --> 00:03:01.840
american english

85
00:03:01.840 --> 00:03:04.080
and luggage in british english but this

86
00:03:04.080 --> 00:03:05.120
is not enormous

87
00:03:05.120 --> 00:03:07.919
we use both baggage can be used to

88
00:03:07.919 --> 00:03:09.440
describe things that make

89
00:03:09.440 --> 00:03:13.120
progress or freedom more difficult

90
00:03:13.120 --> 00:03:14.879
so it's kind of saying that you're

91
00:03:14.879 --> 00:03:16.319
carrying around

92
00:03:16.319 --> 00:03:19.200
a virtual suitcase with you it's much

93
00:03:19.200 --> 00:03:20.879
harder to go through life

94
00:03:20.879 --> 00:03:23.840
carrying a huge burden for example

95
00:03:23.840 --> 00:03:26.000
emotional baggage if somebody has a lot

96
00:03:26.000 --> 00:03:27.519
of emotional issues that they're

97
00:03:27.519 --> 00:03:28.720
carrying around with them

98
00:03:28.720 --> 00:03:31.919
that prevents progress or impedes them

99
00:03:31.919 --> 00:03:32.159
an

100
00:03:32.159 --> 00:03:34.400
example i love him but i don't think it

101
00:03:34.400 --> 00:03:35.280
will work

102
00:03:35.280 --> 00:03:37.840
he has too much baggage this baggage

103
00:03:37.840 --> 00:03:38.640
could mean

104
00:03:38.640 --> 00:03:40.239
lots of things it could mean maybe he

105
00:03:40.239 --> 00:03:42.959
has children maybe he has a difficult

106
00:03:42.959 --> 00:03:45.360
ex-partner you can use your imagination

107
00:03:45.360 --> 00:03:46.239
for that one

108
00:03:46.239 --> 00:03:49.280
we cannot use luggage for this it's only

109
00:03:49.280 --> 00:03:49.920
baggage

110
00:03:49.920 --> 00:03:52.640
in this case if i say he sounds perfect

111
00:03:52.640 --> 00:03:54.000
does he have any baggage

112
00:03:54.000 --> 00:03:56.720
i'm not asking if he has any suitcases

113
00:03:56.720 --> 00:03:58.400
i'm asking if he has

114
00:03:58.400 --> 00:04:00.319
anything negative anything he's carrying

115
00:04:00.319 --> 00:04:02.239
with him number two

116
00:04:02.239 --> 00:04:05.760
we have stationary and stationary

117
00:04:05.760 --> 00:04:08.879
both pronounced in the same way but

118
00:04:08.879 --> 00:04:11.120
spelt differently we have stationary

119
00:04:11.120 --> 00:04:12.080
with a

120
00:04:12.080 --> 00:04:15.519
r y which means to not be moving

121
00:04:15.519 --> 00:04:18.639
or not intended to be moved and we have

122
00:04:18.639 --> 00:04:19.600
stationary with

123
00:04:19.600 --> 00:04:22.160
ery which means office supplies

124
00:04:22.160 --> 00:04:23.360
basically

125
00:04:23.360 --> 00:04:26.479
files pencils envelopes

126
00:04:26.479 --> 00:04:29.279
paper uncountable noun have a look at

127
00:04:29.279 --> 00:04:30.400
these sentences

128
00:04:30.400 --> 00:04:32.160
when you hear them you can only tell the

129
00:04:32.160 --> 00:04:33.919
difference through context

130
00:04:33.919 --> 00:04:36.479
because stationary ery is a noun and

131
00:04:36.479 --> 00:04:38.320
stationary a ry

132
00:04:38.320 --> 00:04:40.639
is an adjective when you see them

133
00:04:40.639 --> 00:04:41.440
written down

134
00:04:41.440 --> 00:04:43.440
it's more clear the van that was

135
00:04:43.440 --> 00:04:45.759
carrying the office stationery

136
00:04:45.759 --> 00:04:49.040
crashed into a stationary vehicle or

137
00:04:49.040 --> 00:04:51.199
you remain stationary and i'll go and

138
00:04:51.199 --> 00:04:53.199
pick up the stationery

139
00:04:53.199 --> 00:04:57.040
number three we have desert and dessert

140
00:04:57.040 --> 00:05:00.160
so they only differ in one extra s

141
00:05:00.160 --> 00:05:02.720
in dessert but the pronunciation is

142
00:05:02.720 --> 00:05:03.440
different

143
00:05:03.440 --> 00:05:06.000
the stress is on a different syllable in

144
00:05:06.000 --> 00:05:07.039
each

145
00:05:07.039 --> 00:05:11.120
desert dessert desert

146
00:05:11.120 --> 00:05:14.720
dessert a desert is a large area of land

147
00:05:14.720 --> 00:05:16.880
that's very dry and has

148
00:05:16.880 --> 00:05:19.279
no water because it's dry and very few

149
00:05:19.279 --> 00:05:20.240
plants

150
00:05:20.240 --> 00:05:23.360
a dessert is a sweet food eaten

151
00:05:23.360 --> 00:05:25.919
typically at the end of a meal okay

152
00:05:25.919 --> 00:05:26.560
which

153
00:05:26.560 --> 00:05:28.639
spellings am i referring to in these two

154
00:05:28.639 --> 00:05:30.160
separate sentences

155
00:05:30.160 --> 00:05:34.560
number one have you ever licked a desert

156
00:05:34.560 --> 00:05:39.120
and number two this dessert is dry

157
00:05:39.120 --> 00:05:41.120
okay i was just trying to confuse you

158
00:05:41.120 --> 00:05:42.880
then the first one

159
00:05:42.880 --> 00:05:46.320
is desert as in a dry place have you

160
00:05:46.320 --> 00:05:47.440
ever

161
00:05:47.440 --> 00:05:50.800
licked a dry place a desert

162
00:05:50.800 --> 00:05:54.720
and this dessert pudding sweet food

163
00:05:54.720 --> 00:05:57.520
is dry that's valid a dessert could be

164
00:05:57.520 --> 00:05:58.400
very dry

165
00:05:58.400 --> 00:06:00.479
give yourself a pat on the back if you

166
00:06:00.479 --> 00:06:01.520
got that right

167
00:06:01.520 --> 00:06:04.960
number four we have beside and

168
00:06:04.960 --> 00:06:09.039
besides so beside is a preposition

169
00:06:09.039 --> 00:06:12.720
meaning next to something i sat beside

170
00:06:12.720 --> 00:06:13.039
him

171
00:06:13.039 --> 00:06:16.639
all night long and besides can be

172
00:06:16.639 --> 00:06:20.639
both a preposition and an adverb as well

173
00:06:20.639 --> 00:06:23.199
the preposition means in addition to or

174
00:06:23.199 --> 00:06:24.160
apart from

175
00:06:24.160 --> 00:06:26.319
an example we have lots of things in

176
00:06:26.319 --> 00:06:28.160
common besides football

177
00:06:28.160 --> 00:06:30.639
apart from football in addition to

178
00:06:30.639 --> 00:06:31.680
football

179
00:06:31.680 --> 00:06:34.400
besides as an adverb is used for making

180
00:06:34.400 --> 00:06:34.720
an

181
00:06:34.720 --> 00:06:37.199
extra comment which adds to what you

182
00:06:37.199 --> 00:06:37.839
have just

183
00:06:37.839 --> 00:06:40.240
said an example i don't want to go to

184
00:06:40.240 --> 00:06:41.199
the concert

185
00:06:41.199 --> 00:06:44.080
besides i've lost my ticket that extra

186
00:06:44.080 --> 00:06:44.720
comment

187
00:06:44.720 --> 00:06:47.279
adds to what i have previously said

188
00:06:47.279 --> 00:06:48.000
number five

189
00:06:48.000 --> 00:06:51.919
we have capital and capital

190
00:06:51.919 --> 00:06:54.000
pronounced in the same way but with

191
00:06:54.000 --> 00:06:55.599
different spellings

192
00:06:55.599 --> 00:06:58.400
so capital with a l means the most

193
00:06:58.400 --> 00:06:59.039
important

194
00:06:59.039 --> 00:07:02.160
city in a region or country for example

195
00:07:02.160 --> 00:07:05.759
london is the capital of england capital

196
00:07:05.759 --> 00:07:09.199
o l is a building in each u.s state and

197
00:07:09.199 --> 00:07:10.000
i think there's one

198
00:07:10.000 --> 00:07:13.120
called the capital in washington as well

199
00:07:13.120 --> 00:07:15.840
which is more specific where politicians

200
00:07:15.840 --> 00:07:16.240
meet

201
00:07:16.240 --> 00:07:18.800
to work on new laws so you can see how

202
00:07:18.800 --> 00:07:19.520
they could be

203
00:07:19.520 --> 00:07:22.160
confused an example they met in the

204
00:07:22.160 --> 00:07:22.800
capital

205
00:07:22.800 --> 00:07:25.759
to discuss the new legislations capital

206
00:07:25.759 --> 00:07:26.000
o

207
00:07:26.000 --> 00:07:29.360
l could be confused for the capital city

208
00:07:29.360 --> 00:07:31.520
you just have to see it written down or

209
00:07:31.520 --> 00:07:33.199
you need to know the context

210
00:07:33.199 --> 00:07:37.120
number six we have to aspire and to

211
00:07:37.120 --> 00:07:40.319
inspire i like that group of vows

212
00:07:40.319 --> 00:07:44.639
ayah inspire a aspire

213
00:07:44.639 --> 00:07:48.400
nice to aspire is to have a strong

214
00:07:48.400 --> 00:07:51.599
desire oh lovely vowel sound um

215
00:07:51.599 --> 00:07:53.360
to achieve something or to become

216
00:07:53.360 --> 00:07:55.919
something for example she aspired to

217
00:07:55.919 --> 00:07:56.400
become

218
00:07:56.400 --> 00:07:59.599
an olympic gymnast to inspire

219
00:07:59.599 --> 00:08:03.039
is to give someone else the confidence

220
00:08:03.039 --> 00:08:06.000
desire or enthusiasm to do something

221
00:08:06.000 --> 00:08:06.720
well

222
00:08:06.720 --> 00:08:10.080
an example you inspired me to pursue a

223
00:08:10.080 --> 00:08:12.720
career in scientific research

224
00:08:12.720 --> 00:08:15.759
number seven we have breath

225
00:08:15.759 --> 00:08:18.800
and breathe so different

226
00:08:18.800 --> 00:08:22.879
consonant sound at the end breath

227
00:08:22.879 --> 00:08:26.479
breathe same mouth shape same tongue

228
00:08:26.479 --> 00:08:27.440
position

229
00:08:27.440 --> 00:08:31.199
but the second one has voice

230
00:08:33.839 --> 00:08:37.360
so breath is the noun and that describes

231
00:08:37.360 --> 00:08:38.159
the air

232
00:08:38.159 --> 00:08:40.479
that you take into your lungs and then

233
00:08:40.479 --> 00:08:41.760
exhale again

234
00:08:41.760 --> 00:08:45.600
an example your breath smells of garlic

235
00:08:45.600 --> 00:08:47.519
it's not what you want to hear well it

236
00:08:47.519 --> 00:08:48.880
means you've had the opportunity to eat

237
00:08:48.880 --> 00:08:50.080
garlic i love garlic

238
00:08:50.080 --> 00:08:53.120
to breathe on the other hand is a verb

239
00:08:53.120 --> 00:08:55.839
it describes the same thing to take air

240
00:08:55.839 --> 00:08:57.839
into your lungs and to breathe it out

241
00:08:57.839 --> 00:08:58.320
again

242
00:08:58.320 --> 00:09:01.279
an example don't breathe on me after

243
00:09:01.279 --> 00:09:03.040
eating garlic

244
00:09:03.040 --> 00:09:06.720
number eight we have complicated

245
00:09:06.720 --> 00:09:10.240
and complex in many situations these can

246
00:09:10.240 --> 00:09:10.880
be used

247
00:09:10.880 --> 00:09:14.080
interchangeably but

248
00:09:14.080 --> 00:09:16.640
sometimes they can't and a good way to

249
00:09:16.640 --> 00:09:17.519
think of this

250
00:09:17.519 --> 00:09:20.880
is that complicated is the opposite of

251
00:09:20.880 --> 00:09:24.800
easy and complex is the opposite of

252
00:09:24.800 --> 00:09:27.600
simple an example the project is very

253
00:09:27.600 --> 00:09:29.440
complicated i'll try and explain it

254
00:09:29.440 --> 00:09:30.240
later

255
00:09:30.240 --> 00:09:33.519
or complex the design of the tapestry is

256
00:09:33.519 --> 00:09:35.120
very complex

257
00:09:35.120 --> 00:09:36.720
it's not necessarily difficult to

258
00:09:36.720 --> 00:09:38.480
understand it's just

259
00:09:38.480 --> 00:09:42.800
not simple number nine we have presume

260
00:09:42.800 --> 00:09:46.519
and assume so we have

261
00:09:46.519 --> 00:09:49.279
presumed with a z sound

262
00:09:49.279 --> 00:09:52.480
and assume with the s

263
00:09:52.480 --> 00:09:56.399
sound has voice has no voice

264
00:09:56.399 --> 00:09:59.440
so these are synonyms both imply to take

265
00:09:59.440 --> 00:10:00.958
something for granted without

266
00:10:00.958 --> 00:10:03.600
fully understanding both mean to take

267
00:10:03.600 --> 00:10:04.078
something

268
00:10:04.078 --> 00:10:07.279
as true but one

269
00:10:07.279 --> 00:10:10.399
implies more confidence so with presume

270
00:10:10.399 --> 00:10:13.519
you are making an informed guess

271
00:10:13.519 --> 00:10:16.078
based on some sort of evidence an

272
00:10:16.078 --> 00:10:17.200
example

273
00:10:17.200 --> 00:10:19.760
i presume that her jewelry is expensive

274
00:10:19.760 --> 00:10:20.640
okay i

275
00:10:20.640 --> 00:10:22.559
based on my evidence i might have seen

276
00:10:22.559 --> 00:10:25.519
some before i'm presuming it's expensive

277
00:10:25.519 --> 00:10:27.839
i don't know for sure but i have a good

278
00:10:27.839 --> 00:10:28.958
idea

279
00:10:28.958 --> 00:10:32.000
to assume implies less confidence

280
00:10:32.000 --> 00:10:33.839
it means it's based on little or no

281
00:10:33.839 --> 00:10:36.320
evidence i can't believe you're here

282
00:10:36.320 --> 00:10:38.480
i assumed you wouldn't come i had no

283
00:10:38.480 --> 00:10:40.160
evidence for that i just assumed it i

284
00:10:40.160 --> 00:10:40.559
just

285
00:10:40.559 --> 00:10:42.640
supposed it now a way that you can

286
00:10:42.640 --> 00:10:44.559
remember this is to say that

287
00:10:44.559 --> 00:10:48.000
to assume is to make an ass out of

288
00:10:48.000 --> 00:10:51.839
you and me as you me

289
00:10:51.839 --> 00:10:55.200
assume i really like that one

290
00:10:55.200 --> 00:10:58.559
and number 10 we have lonely and

291
00:10:58.559 --> 00:11:01.679
alone lonely and alone they sound very

292
00:11:01.679 --> 00:11:02.720
similar but they have

293
00:11:02.720 --> 00:11:04.880
very different meanings both are

294
00:11:04.880 --> 00:11:06.000
adjectives

295
00:11:06.000 --> 00:11:08.399
alone means without any other people

296
00:11:08.399 --> 00:11:09.440
okay if you're alone

297
00:11:09.440 --> 00:11:12.399
no one else is there if you are lonely

298
00:11:12.399 --> 00:11:14.000
you are unhappy because

299
00:11:14.000 --> 00:11:17.120
no one else is there so alone has

300
00:11:17.120 --> 00:11:19.519
no emotion attached to it but lonely

301
00:11:19.519 --> 00:11:20.240
does

302
00:11:20.240 --> 00:11:23.200
an example when i lived alone i felt

303
00:11:23.200 --> 00:11:24.480
very lonely

304
00:11:24.480 --> 00:11:27.760
or i'm alone but i'm not lonely right

305
00:11:27.760 --> 00:11:29.679
that is it for today's lesson i really
