English but it sounds too direct and 22 00:01:00.059 --> 00:01:02.699 awkward native English speakers almost 23 00:01:02.699 --> 00:01:05.299 never say this in a social situation 24 00:01:05.299 --> 00:01:07.920 instead they use a different question 25 00:01:07.920 --> 00:01:10.740 but before we master that we need to 26 00:01:10.740 --> 00:01:14.040 compare it to a very similar question 27

this minute you answer 37 00:01:39.659 --> 00:01:43.319 it using an ing verb what are you doing 38 00:01:43.319 --> 00:01:47.159 I'm reading I'm watching TV 39 00:01:47.159 --> 00:01:50.040 while the

himself he 218 00:10:45.000 --> 00:10:47.640 started with Hi and then used a set 219 00:10:47.640 --> 00:10:49.500 phrase 220 00:10:49.500 --> 00:10:52.140 how do you do 221 00:10:52.140 --> 00:10:55.920 how do you do 222 00:10:55.920 --> 00:10:58.260 this is a polite expression people often 223 00:10:58.260 --> 00:11:00.480 use with an introduction it sounds like 224 00:11:00.480 --> 00:11:02.519 a question but it has no particular 225 00:11:02.519 --> 00:11:04.500 meaning and there's no expectation the 226 00:11:04.500 --> 00:11:07.140 other person will try to answer it 227 00:11:07.140 --> 00:11:09.660 next he says 228 00:11:09.660 --> 00:11:12.059 I'm Gustavo 229 00:11:12.059 --> 00:11:13.980 the first part of this sentence is a 230 00:11:13.980 --> 00:11:17.339 contraction of two words I and am the am 231 00:11:17.339 --> 00:11:19.559 here functions like an equal sign in 232 00:11:19.559 --> 00:11:21.120 math 233 00:11:21.120 --> 00:11:23.660 I'm 234 00:11:23.880 --> 00:11:27.300 the next word in the sentence is a name 235 00:11:27.300 --> 00:11:29.100 Gustavo 236 00:11:29.100 --> 00:11:30.899 together it's 237 00:11:30.899 --> 00:11:33.240 I'm Gustavo 238 00:11:33.240 --> 00:11:35.640 the structure of the pattern is 239 00:11:35.640 --> 00:11:38.160 hi how do you do I'm 240 00:11:38.160 --> 00:11:40.679 plus your name 241 00:11:40.679 --> 00:11:43.500 now you try imagine your name is John 242 00:11:43.500 --> 00:11:49.399 say hi how do you do I'm John 243 00:11:53.880 --> 00:11:57.899 hi how do you do I'm John 244 00:11:57.899 --> 00:12:01.440 now imagine your name is eichel say hi 245 00:12:01.440 --> 00:12:06.140 how do you do I'm Aiko 246 00:12:10.740 --> 00:12:14.640 hi how do you do I'm ikel 247 00:12:14.640 --> 00:12:18.200 now use your name 248 00:12:22.559 --> 00:12:25.320 okay there are two additional things you 249 00:12:25.320 --> 00:12:27.660 need to know first there's a shortcut 250 00:12:27.660 --> 00:12:29.279 for giving your name 251 00:12:29.279 --> 00:12:31.078 just drop the I'm from the final 252 00:12:31.078 --> 00:12:33.600 sentence of the self-introduction 253 00:12:33.600 --> 00:12:37.078 for example if Gustavo just said 254 00:12:37.078 --> 00:12:40.559 hi how do you do Gustavo 255 00:12:40.559 --> 00:12:42.420 Henry would have understood it was his 256 00:12:42.420 --> 00:12:43.440 name 257 00:12:43.440 --> 00:12:45.240 this would be especially clear if 258 00:12:45.240 --> 00:12:46.980 Gustavo extended his hand for a 259 00:12:46.980 --> 00:12:49.200 handshake while saying this 260 00:12:49.200 --> 00:12:51.899 in very casual situations you can even 261 00:12:51.899 --> 00:12:56.100 drop the high and the how do you do all 262 00:12:56.100 --> 00:12:58.260 that is left would be your name 263 00:12:58.260 --> 00:13:00.480 the second thing you need to know is you 264 00:13:00.480 --> 00:13:03.240 can use I'm with just the first name or 265 00:13:03.240 --> 00:13:04.679 your first name and the last name 266 00:13:04.679 --> 00:13:06.300 together 267 00:13:06.300 --> 00:13:08.940 I'm Henry Eddins 268 00:13:08.940 --> 00:13:11.760 Edens is Henry's family name 269 00:13:11.760 --> 00:13:13.920 using both your first name and your last 270 00:13:13.920 --> 00:13:16.139 name is a little more formal 271 00:13:16.139 --> 00:13:18.720 it also gives you less privacy for 272 00:13:18.720 --> 00:13:20.700 example if people know both your first 273 00:13:20.700 --> 00:13:22.740 and last name they can find you on the 274 00:13:22.740 --> 00:13:24.360 internet more easily 275 00:13:24.360 --> 00:13:26.880 so it may be more common for strangers 276 00:13:26.880 --> 00:13:28.559 to say just their first name than people 277 00:13:28.559 --> 00:13:31.078 meeting in a more friendly environment 278 00:13:31.078 --> 00:13:33.540 next you'll learn how to tell people to 279 00:13:33.540 --> 00:13:35.458 call you by a nickname just like Henry 280 00:13:35.458 --> 00:13:37.500 did in the scene 281 00:13:37.500 --> 00:13:40.078 but please call me Hank 282 00:13:40.078 --> 00:13:43.559 but please call me Hank 283 00:13:43.559 --> 00:13:46.200 the first word in the sentence is 284 00:13:46.200 --> 00:13:47.639 but 285 00:13:47.639 --> 00:13:50.100 this word is not necessary but it makes 286 00:13:50.100 --> 00:13:51.600 the transition to the rest of the 287 00:13:51.600 --> 00:13:53.160 sentence smoother 288 00:13:53.160 --> 00:13:55.320 Henry uses this to introduce a new piece 289 00:13:55.320 --> 00:13:56.639 of information 290 00:13:56.639 --> 00:13:58.620 and this information changes something 291 00:13:58.620 --> 00:14:00.360 about what he said before 292 00:14:00.360 --> 00:14:02.880 but makes this clear 293 00:14:02.880 --> 00:14:04.679 the next word introduces a polite 294 00:14:04.679 --> 00:14:05.940 request 295 00:14:05.940 --> 00:14:07.559 please 296 00:14:07.559 --> 00:14:09.300 please 297 00:14:09.300 -->

for the 318 00:15:19.380 --> 00:15:21.180 first time it's polite to say a set 319 00:15:21.180 --> 00:15:23.459 phrase at the end 320 00:15:23.459 --> 00:15:26.100 nice to meet you 321 00:15:26.100

click the link in 376 00:18:20.039 --> 00:18:21.780 the description to get access 377 00:18:21.780 --> 00:18:24.240 hi everybody my name is Alicia today 378 00:18:24.240 --> 00:18:26.220 we're going to be talking about simple 379 00:18:26.220 --> 00:18:28.740 past tense we're going to talk about how 380 00:18:28.740 --> 00:18:31.559 to make simple past tense statements in 381 00:18:31.559 --> 00:18:34.919 English so let's get started okay so 382 00:18:34.919 --> 00:18:37.200 first let's talk about when we should 383 00:18:37.200 --> 00:18:40.200 use the simple past tense simple past 384 00:18:40.200 --> 00:18:43.140 tense statements for today are for 385 00:18:43.140 --> 00:18:45.840 actions that started and ended in the 386 00:18:45.840 --> 00:18:47.760 past so these are things that both 387 00:18:47.760 --> 00:18:51.480 started or began and ended in the past 388 00:18:51.480 --> 00:18:55.020 both of those must be true to use simple 389 00:18:55.020 --> 00:18:58.380 past tense the second point for today is 390 00:18:58.380 --> 00:19:00.840 these are actions which happened at a 391 00:19:00.840 --> 00:19:03.720 specific point in time so a specific 392 00:19:03.720 --> 00:19:07.500 point in time can be yesterday it can be 393 00:19:07.500 --> 00:19:11.220 an hour ago it can be last year it can 394 00:19:11.220 --> 00:19:14.160 be when you were a kid all of these are 395 00:19:14.160 --> 00:19:16.859 a specific point in time but the key is 396 00:19:16.859 --> 00:19:20.520 that we know when the action happen so a 397 00:19:20.520 --> 00:19:23.400 specific point in time 0.2 for this 398 00:19:23.400 --> 00:19:24.840 grammar point 399 00:19:24.840 --> 00:19:29.100 third we can use simple past tense for 400 00:19:29.100 --> 00:19:31.500 repeated actions in the past so things 401 00:19:31.500 --> 00:19:34.380 you did every week or every month or 402 00:19:34.380 --> 00:19:37.320 every year every summer every hour if 403 00:19:37.320 --> 00:19:40.440 you like but one point about this 404 00:19:40.440 --> 00:19:42.660 make sure to include a frequency 405 00:19:42.660 --> 00:19:45.059 indicator if you want to talk about an 406 00:19:45.059 --> 00:19:46.760 action that repeated in the past 407 00:19:46.760 --> 00:19:50.280 frequency indicator for example I just 408 00:19:50.280 --> 00:19:52.679 mentioned a few every week every month 409 00:19:52.679 --> 00:19:55.559 every year so frequency meaning how 410 00:19:55.559 --> 00:19:58.740 often an indicator shows how often you 411 00:19:58.740 --> 00:20:01.200 did that so you can use repeated actions 412 00:20:01.200 --> 00:20:03.900 with past tense to show 413 00:20:03.900 --> 00:20:06.960 uh let's see something you did a lot in 414 00:20:06.960 --> 00:20:09.539 the past for example so to give you a 415 00:20:09.539 --> 00:20:12.960 visual uh the past is down here now is 416 00:20:12.960 --> 00:20:16.080 this point here and future is up here 417 00:20:16.080 --> 00:20:19.619 when we use the simple past tense it's 418 00:20:19.619 --> 00:20:23.220 an action that started and ended in the 419 00:20:23.220 --> 00:20:26.700 past somewhere before now that's one 420 00:20:26.700 --> 00:20:30.000 it's at a specific point in time so this 421 00:20:30.000 --> 00:20:33.000 action and this action we know when they 422 00:20:33.000 --> 00:20:35.039 happened it could be this morning it 423 00:20:35.039 --> 00:20:38.100 could be yesterday for example but we 424 00:20:38.100 --> 00:20:40.380 know when these actions happen 425 00:20:40.380 --> 00:20:43.080 third we can use for repeated action so 426 00:20:43.080 --> 00:20:45.359 maybe these actions repeat 427 00:20:45.359 --> 00:20:48.720 uh but we know 428 00:20:48.720 --> 00:20:51.179 when the repetition happened we know 429 00:20:51.179 --> 00:20:54.000 when we repeated these actions so it's 430 00:20:54.000 --> 00:20:56.580 okay to use simple past tense to 431 00:20:56.580 --> 00:21:00.539 describe those okay so now we know uh 432 00:21:00.539 --> 00:21:03.179 when we should use simple past tense we 433 00:21:03.179 --> 00:21:05.460 know why we should use simple past tense 434 00:21:05.460 --> 00:21:08.280 but how do we make simple past tense 435 00:21:08.280 --> 00:21:11.460 statements so when you want to use the 436 00:21:11.460 --> 00:21:14.400 simple past tense to explain an action 437 00:21:14.400 --> 00:21:16.859 that happened in the past you need to 438 00:21:16.859 --> 00:21:19.020 conjugate your verb you need to change 439 00:21:19.020 --> 00:21:21.240 your verb so that means when you're 440 00:21:21.240 --> 00:21:25.080 using a regular verb you do verb plus Ed 441 00:21:25.080 --> 00:21:29.640 so verb plus e d is the basic form for 442 00:21:29.640 --> 00:21:32.880 simple past tense verbs but keep in mind 443 00:21:32.880 --> 00:21:35.820 this is only for regular verbs not all 444 00:21:35.820 --> 00:21:37.859 verbs are regular verbs so for example 445 00:21:37.859 --> 00:21:40.919 some common ones are talk which becomes 446 00:21:40.919 --> 00:21:42.059 talked 447 00:21:42.059 --> 00:21:45.000 start which becomes started and enjoy 448 00:21:45.000 --> 00:21:47.700 which becomes enjoyed please be careful 449 00:21:47.700 --> 00:21:49.919 however you'll notice that the past 450 00:21:49.919 --> 00:21:52.559 tense form of verbs has a few different 451 00:21:52.559 --> 00:21:55.140 pronunciations so for example start 452 00:21:55.140 --> 00:21:58.919 becomes started it has an ID sound it's 453 00:21:58.919 --> 00:22:02.520 not an E D sound but an ID sound you 454 00:22:02.520 --> 00:22:05.220 might hear a word like walked also which 455 00:22:05.220 --> 00:22:07.919 has a sort of T sound about it walk 456 00:22:07.919 --> 00:22:10.859 becomes walked started becomes started 457 00:22:10.859 --> 00:22:13.320 an ID sound and then there's also a 458 00:22:13.320 --> 00:22:16.260 sound like in breathed a very soft D 459 00:22:16.260 --> 00:22:19.080 sound so there are three past tense verb 460 00:22:19.080 --> 00:22:22.440 sounds to listen for an ID sound started 461 00:22:22.440 --> 00:22:26.220 a soft D sound like breathed and then a 462 00:22:26.220 --> 00:22:29.220 more hard T sound like walked so pay 463 00:22:29.220 --> 00:22:30.900 attention to that when you're trying to 464 00:22:30.900 --> 00:22:34.080 make these past tense verb conjugations 465 00:22:34.080 --> 00:22:36.179 okay but 466 00:22:36.179 --> 00:22:39.119 some verbs are irregular verbs irregular 467 00:22:39.119 --> 00:22:42.119 verbs do not have a simple rule for 468 00:22:42.119 --> 00:22:45.299 understanding past tense conjugation how 469 00:22:45.299 --> 00:22:47.940 to change them in past tense there's no 470 00:22:47.940 --> 00:22:50.820 rule for these you simply have to 471 00:22:50.820 --> 00:22:53.580 practice you have to remember them read 472 00:22:53.580 --> 00:22:56.159 them listen to them until you can 473 00:22:56.159 --> 00:22:58.799 remember the correct conjugation the 474 00:22:58.799 --> 00:23:00.900 correct way to change these verbs into 475 00:23:00.900 --> 00:23:03.900 the past tense so for example some 476 00:23:03.900 --> 00:23:06.919 common ones are eat which becomes eight 477 00:23:06.919 --> 00:23:11.580 speak becomes spoke and make becomes 478 00:23:11.580 --> 00:23:14.760 made if you see a verb somewhere that 479 00:23:14.760 --> 00:23:16.799 that seems a little odd or you're not 480 00:23:16.799 --> 00:23:19.320 sure what these present tense form would 481 00:23:19.320 --> 00:23:21.600 be you can check a dictionary and try to 482 00:23:21.600 --> 00:23:24.119 remember it from there so now we've 483 00:23:24.119 --> 00:23:26.520 talked about simple past tense irregular 484 00:23:26.520 --> 00:23:29.280 and regular verbs let's try to use them 485 00:23:29.280 --> 00:23:31.380 to make some sentences I prepared a few 486 00:23:31.380 --> 00:23:34.619 example sentences so let's take a look 487 00:23:34.619 --> 00:23:36.960 okay first sentence he something 488 00:23:36.960 --> 00:23:40.140 something a towel and sunglasses to the 489 00:23:40.140 --> 00:23:42.780 beach so the verb here is bring I want 490 00:23:42.780 --> 00:23:45.659 to use the verb bring bring however is 491 00:23:45.659 --> 00:23:48.780 an irregular verb so I can't use the Ed 492 00:23:48.780 --> 00:23:51.539 rule for regular verbs the correct 493 00:23:51.539 --> 00:23:55.460 conjugation is brought 494 00:23:55.700 --> 00:23:58.380 b-r-o-u-g-h-t he brought a towel and 495 00:23:58.380 --> 00:24:00.600 sunglasses to the beach this is the 496 00:24:00.600 --> 00:24:02.940 correct conjugation here so bring is an 497 00:24:02.940 --> 00:24:05.460 irregular verb okay 498 00:24:05.460 --> 00:24:07.380 let's go to the next sentence they 499 00:24:07.380 --> 00:24:09.900 something something to the gym every day 500 00:24:09.900 --> 00:24:13.320 last week so here I'm showing you a 501 00:24:13.320 --> 00:24:15.600 repeated action here I'm using every day 502 00:24:15.600 --> 00:24:18.299 this is a frequency indicator how often 503 00:24:18.299 --> 00:24:21.359 did I do that action and last week shows 504 00:24:21.359 --> 00:24:24.600 the specific point in time so I'm using 505 00:24:24.600 --> 00:24:28.380 both of these two points in addition to 506 00:24:28.380 --> 00:24:30.720 a simple pass the basic simple past 507 00:24:30.720 --> 00:24:33.000 structure here so the verb that we want 508 00:24:33.000 --> 00:24:36.000 to use here is go but go is an irregular 509 00:24:36.000 --> 00:24:40.020 verb so we can't use goad for example go 510 00:24:40.020 --> 00:24:42.840 changes to went in the past tense so 511 00:24:42.840 --> 00:24:45.359 went is the correct answer for this 512 00:24:45.359 --> 00:24:47.340 sentence here okay 513 00:24:47.340 --> 00:24:49.859 let's try the next one uh I something 514 00:24:49.859 --> 00:24:52.859 something to tell my boss about my 515 00:24:52.859 --> 00:24:55.859 schedule so the verb I want to use here 516 00:24:55.859 --> 00:24:59.340 is forget forget is a very useful word I 517 00:24:59.340 --> 00:25:01.980 think to remember but again forget is 518 00:25:01.980 --> 00:25:04.320 not a regular verb forget is an 519 00:25:04.320 --> 00:25:07.440 irregular verb so we cannot use the Ed 520 00:25:07.440 --> 00:25:10.380 form forget in the past tense it becomes 521 00:25:10.380 --> 00:25:12.539 forgot 522 00:25:12.539 --> 00:25:14.400 okay 523 00:25:14.400 --> 00:25:17.580 so I forgot to tell my boss about my 524 00:25:17.580 --> 00:25:19.500 schedule is the correct sentence here 525 00:25:19.500 --> 00:25:22.320 all right let's go to something a little 526 00:25:22.320 --> 00:25:25.020 bit different here's a negative sentence 527 00:25:25.020 --> 00:25:28.200 I don't think they something something a 528 00:25:28.200 --> 00:25:31.619 reservation at the restaurant okay so 529 00:25:31.619 --> 00:25:34.260 here I'm using a phrase I want to use 530 00:25:34.260 --> 00:25:36.960 the phrase make a reservation to make a 531 00:25:36.960 --> 00:25:39.960 reservation so the verb here is make 532 00:25:39.960 --> 00:25:42.659 this was one of my example verbs for The 533 00:25:42.659 --> 00:25:46.320 Irregular form so make becomes made I 534 00:25:46.320 --> 00:25:48.299 don't think 535 00:25:48.299 --> 00:25:51.179 they made a reservation at the 536 00:25:51.179 --> 00:25:53.880 restaurant is the correct verb form to 537 00:25:53.880 --> 00:25:57.000 use here all right uh the next sentence 538 00:25:57.000 --> 00:25:59.460 we something something junk food almost 539 00:25:59.460 --> 00:26:02.640 every day last month so here again I 540 00:26:02.640 --> 00:26:06.000 have uh every day but I have almost here 541 00:26:06.000 --> 00:26:08.820 so almost every day not every day but 542 00:26:08.820 --> 00:26:12.059 close to every day and then last month 543 00:26:12.059 --> 00:26:14.640 last month is my specific point in time 544 00:26:14.640 --> 00:26:16.919 in this case so 545 00:26:16.919 --> 00:26:19.200 here we have junk food that means that 546 00:26:19.200 --> 00:26:21.659 the verb we want to use is probably eat 547 00:26:21.659 --> 00:26:23.700 and we learn to eat 548 00:26:23.700 --> 00:26:27.059 is an irregular verb there's no rule for 549 00:26:27.059 --> 00:26:29.880 conjugating this we just know that eat 550 00:26:29.880 --> 00:26:32.580 becomes eight we ate junk food almost 551 00:26:32.580 --> 00:26:34.380 every day last month 552 00:26:34.380 --> 00:26:36.000 great okay 553 00:26:36.000 --> 00:26:40.200 so next sentence uh has two spaces for 554 00:26:40.200 --> 00:26:43.380 verbs actually okay so the next sentence 555 00:26:43.380 --> 00:26:45.720 that I've prepared I included because a 556 00:26:45.720 --> 00:26:48.119 lot of my students ask about how to 557 00:26:48.119 --> 00:26:50.400 report information when you want to 558 00:26:50.400 --> 00:26:53.340 report information share something that 559 00:26:53.340 --> 00:26:55.619 you heard from a friend a past tense 560 00:26:55.619 --> 00:26:58.200 action you need to conjugate the 561 00:26:58.200 --> 00:27:01.020 reporting verb for example say becomes 562 00:27:01.020 --> 00:27:04.200 said or hear becomes heard you need to 563 00:27:04.200 --> 00:27:06.359 conjugate this verb and you need to 564 00:27:06.359 --> 00:27:08.700 conjugate the information that you heard 565 00:27:08.700 --> 00:27:11.460 so there are two past tense conjugations 566 00:27:11.460 --> 00:27:13.260 that should happen when you report 567 00:27:13.260 --> 00:27:15.840 information let's take a look 568 00:27:15.840 --> 00:27:18.480 so here we have she something something 569 00:27:18.480 --> 00:27:22.140 she something something a great time at 570 00:27:22.140 --> 00:27:25.500 the party so here she blah blah blah a 571 00:27:25.500 --> 00:27:28.740 great time at the party uh so we use the 572 00:27:28.740 --> 00:27:31.980 Expression to have a great time to have 573 00:27:31.980 --> 00:27:35.100 a great time again have is an irregular 574 00:27:35.100 --> 00:27:40.880 verb so we conjugate it to had she had 575 00:27:40.919 --> 00:27:44.279 a great time at the party okay 576 00:27:44.279 --> 00:27:46.919 but then to report your speech so 577 00:27:46.919 --> 00:27:50.580 someone gave you information past tense 578 00:27:50.580 --> 00:27:53.240 give becomes gave you information 579 00:27:53.240 --> 00:27:56.700 so the verb for giving information a 580 00:27:56.700 --> 00:27:59.539 neutral way to pass information is say 581 00:27:59.539 --> 00:28:03.240 so to conjugate say into the past tense 582 00:28:03.240 --> 00:28:06.659 it's an irregular verb so we use said 583 00:28:06.659 --> 00:28:12.179 say becomes said so she said 584 00:28:12.179 --> 00:28:14.640 she had a great time at the party okay 585 00:28:14.640 --> 00:28:17.220 please be careful of your pronunciation 586 00:28:17.220 --> 00:28:20.400 with the word said a lot of people I've 587 00:28:20.400 --> 00:28:23.700 heard use Sade Sade is not correct so 588 00:28:23.700 --> 00:28:26.820 please use said it sounds like s-e-d the 589 00:28:26.820 --> 00:28:30.720 pronunciation but it's said s-a-i-d is 590 00:28:30.720 --> 00:28:33.600 the spelling say becomes said she said 591 00:28:33.600 --> 00:28:36.900 she had a great time at the party okay 592 00:28:36.900 --> 00:28:40.860 so last one okay so the last example 593 00:28:40.860 --> 00:28:43.440 sentence for today includes spaces for a 594 00:28:43.440 --> 00:28:45.539 few different verbs I included this 595 00:28:45.539 --> 00:28:47.340 because I wanted to show you that you 596 00:28:47.340 --> 00:28:49.020 can use a lot of different information 597 00:28:49.020 --> 00:28:52.200 in one sentence just by connecting your 598 00:28:52.200 --> 00:28:54.360 past tense verbs together so let's take 599 00:28:54.360 --> 00:28:55.620 a look 600 00:28:55.620 --> 00:28:58.260 okay yesterday I something something 601 00:28:58.260 --> 00:29:00.960 late something something shopping and 602 00:29:00.960 --> 00:29:04.380 something something to my mother okay so 603 00:29:04.380 --> 00:29:06.179 the verbs I want to use for this 604 00:29:06.179 --> 00:29:10.980 sentence are sleep go and speak sleep go 605 00:29:10.980 --> 00:29:14.220 and speak these are all irregular verbs 606 00:29:14.220 --> 00:29:16.620 there are no regular verbs in this 607 00:29:16.620 --> 00:29:20.220 sentence so sleep in past tense becomes 608 00:29:20.220 --> 00:29:21.860 slept 609 00:29:21.860 --> 00:29:26.600 go and past tense becomes went 610 00:29:26.700 --> 00:29:31.620 and speak in past tense becomes spoke 611 00:29:31.620 --> 00:29:34.559 so here in one sentence I have I have 612 00:29:34.559 --> 00:29:36.539 explained three things about my day 613 00:29:36.539 --> 00:29:37.620 yesterday 614 00:29:37.620 --> 00:29:40.200 uh yesterday I slept late I went 615 00:29:40.200 --> 00:29:43.140 shopping and I spoke to my mother so you 616 00:29:43.140 --> 00:29:45.539 can explain a lot of things with past 617 00:29:45.539 --> 00:29:48.000 tense and a few connecting words in this 618 00:29:48.000 --> 00:29:50.820 case I've just used and to connect the 619 00:29:50.820 --> 00:29:52.679 last two things in this sentence so 620 00:29:52.679 --> 00:29:54.600 please keep this in mind when you're 621 00:29:54.600 --> 00:29:57.000 sharing information about your past 622 00:29:57.000 --> 00:29:58.200 events 623 00:29:58.200 --> 00:30:00.539 so today we talked about the simple past 624 00:30:00.539 --> 00:30:02.340 tense and we talked about how to 625 00:30:02.340 --> 00:30:04.799 conjugate both regular and irregular 626 00:30:04.799 --> 00:30:06.779 verbs it might seem a little bit 627 00:30:06.779 --> 00:30:08.940 difficult to understand which verbs are 628 00:30:08.940 --> 00:30:10.860 regular and which verbs are irregular 629 00:30:10.860 --> 00:30:13.020 but with some practice it will become 630 00:30:13.020 --> 00:30:15.539 easier so I hope that you enjoyed this 631 00:30:15.539 --> 00:30:17.460 video if

00:30:54.779 way to learn English 644 00:30:54.779 --> 00:30:58.440 hey everyone Alicia here in this series 645 00:30:58.440 --> 00:31:01.440 we're going to learn some easy ways to 646 00:31:01.440 --> 00:31:03.960 ask and answer common questions in 647 00:31:03.960 --> 00:31:06.779 English it's really useful and it only 648 00:31:06.779 --> 00:31:08.640 takes three minutes 649 00:31:08.640 --> 00:31:11.340 in this lesson you are going to learn 650 00:31:11.340 --> 00:31:13.559 how to ask what someone's hobbies are 651 00:31:13.559 --> 00:31:16.740 without using the word Hobbies 652 00:31:16.740 --> 00:31:19.740 you've probably seen the question do you 653 00:31:19.740 --> 00:31:22.980 have any hobbies or what are your 654 00:31:22.980 --> 00:31:25.760 hobbies in an English textbook before 655 00:31:25.760 --> 00:31:29.460 however native English speakers almost 656 00:31:29.460 --> 00:31:32.880 never use the word Hobbies when asking 657 00:31:32.880 --> 00:31:36.299 about them a much more natural way to 658 00:31:36.299 --> 00:31:39.480 ask the same question is what do you do 659 00:31:39.480 --> 00:31:40.620 for fun 660 00:31:40.620 --> 00:31:43.080 let's practice this question 661 00:31:43.080 --> 00:31:45.600 what do you do for fun 662 00:31:45.600 --> 00:31:48.600 what do you do for fun 663 00:31:48.600 --> 00:31:51.899 you can also ask what do you do in your 664 00:31:51.899 --> 00:31:53.399 free time 665 00:31:53.399 --> 00:31:56.940 what do you do in your free time 666 00:31:56.940 --> 00:31:59.480 so how would you answer this question 667 00:31:59.480 --> 00:32:02.520 let's look at how native speakers would 668 00:32:02.520 --> 00:32:06.480 do it the easiest way is to say I like 669 00:32:06.480 --> 00:32:10.860 to or just I like followed by what you 670 00:32:10.860 --> 00:32:14.100 like to do for example if you like 671 00:32:14.100 --> 00:32:17.220 watching movies you could say I like to 672 00:32:17.220 --> 00:32:21.240 watch movies or I like watching movies 673 00:32:21.240 --> 00:32:25.200 I like to watch movies or I like 674 00:32:25.200 --> 00:32:26.820 watching movies 675 00:32:26.820 --> 00:32:30.240 and if you like golf you could say I 676 00:32:30.240 --> 00:32:34.620 like to play golf or I like playing golf 677 00:32:34.620 --> 00:32:38.220 I like to play golf or I like playing 678 00:32:38.220 --> 00:32:41.520 golf you can emphasize how much you like 679 00:32:41.520 --> 00:32:44.220 your hobby by adding a word like really 680 00:32:44.220 --> 00:32:48.480 in front of like for example I really 681 00:32:48.480 --> 00:32:51.360 like watching movies on the other hand 682 00:32:51.360 --> 00:32:54.059 if you want to play Down how much you 683 00:32:54.059 --> 00:32:57.960 like something you can say kind of for 684 00:32:57.960 --> 00:33:01.620 example I kind of like playing tennis 685 00:33:01.620 --> 00:33:05.399 now it's time for Alicia's advice if you 686 00:33:05.399 --> 00:33:08.100 don't have any special Hobbies or don't 687 00:33:08.100 --> 00:33:11.279 want to be specific a good way to reply 688 00:33:11.279 --> 00:33:14.340 is I like hanging out with my friends 689 00:33:14.340 --> 00:33:16.559 and stuff like that 690 00:33:16.559 --> 00:33:20.100 I like hanging out with my friends and 691 00:33:20.100 --> 00:33:21.840 stuff like that 692 00:33:21.840 --> 00:33:26.220 just use I like and add hanging out with 693 00:33:26.220 --> 00:33:29.760 my friends and then add and stuff like 694 00:33:29.760 --> 00:33:30.960 that 695 00:33:30.960 --> 00:33:33.779 how do you answer the question where are 696 00:33:33.779 --> 00:33:36.600 you from it doesn't even have a verb 697 00:33:36.600 --> 00:33:39.779 we'll cover this and more in the next 698 00:33:39.779 --> 00:33:42.539 English in three minutes lesson see you 699 00:33:42.539 --> 00:33:43.250 next time 700 00:33:43.250 --> 00:33:57.320 [Music] 701 00:33:58.200 --> 00:34:01.200 hi everybody my name is Alicia and today 702 00:34:01.200 --> 00:34:04.140 I'm going to give a short explanation of 703 00:34:04.140 --> 00:34:06.720 some basic uses of the present perfect 704 00:34:06.720 --> 00:34:10.739 tense so let's begin okay the present 705 00:34:10.739 --> 00:34:13.379 perfect tense what I'm going to talk 706 00:34:13.379 --> 00:34:16.679 about today there are two basic points 707 00:34:16.679 --> 00:34:18.780 to think about when using the present 708 00:34:18.780 --> 00:34:21.480 perfect tense we use the present perfect 709 00:34:21.480 --> 00:34:25.260 tense first number one to express a life 710 00:34:25.260 --> 00:34:27.540 experience so this can be a life 711 00:34:27.540 --> 00:34:31.260 experience you have had or a life 712 00:34:31.260 --> 00:34:34.980 experience you have never had so we use 713 00:34:34.980 --> 00:34:37.679 this grammar point to talk about life 714 00:34:37.679 --> 00:34:42.359 experience but with one key nuance 715 00:34:42.359 --> 00:34:45.899 this life experience it happened at a 716 00:34:45.899 --> 00:34:49.260 non-specific or an unimportant point in 717 00:34:49.260 --> 00:34:52.859 time so the point in time when this life 718 00:34:52.859 --> 00:34:55.980 experience happened is not important in 719 00:34:55.980 --> 00:34:57.839 this sentence in the sentence where you 720 00:34:57.839 --> 00:35:00.420 use the present perfect tense the point 721 00:35:00.420 --> 00:35:03.359 in time where you had the experience is 722 00:35:03.359 --> 00:35:05.940 not the focus of your statement the 723 00:35:05.940 --> 00:35:08.219 focus of your statement is just the life 724 00:35:08.219 --> 00:35:11.579 experience so to give a visualization of 725 00:35:11.579 --> 00:35:14.940 this on a timeline with past present and 726 00:35:14.940 --> 00:35:16.140 future 727 00:35:16.140 --> 00:35:19.140 the present perfect tense is used to 728 00:35:19.140 --> 00:35:21.599 express a life experience at a 729 00:35:21.599 --> 00:35:25.140 non-specific point in time meaning we 730 00:35:25.140 --> 00:35:29.520 use it for some experience you had 731 00:35:29.520 --> 00:35:33.119 at some point before the present some 732 00:35:33.119 --> 00:35:36.480 point before the current conversation so 733 00:35:36.480 --> 00:35:38.640 we use the present perfect tense to talk 734 00:35:38.640 --> 00:35:41.099 about a life experience that happened at 735 00:35:41.099 --> 00:35:44.760 a non-specific point in the past so when 736 00:35:44.760 --> 00:35:47.579 specifically this experience happened is 737 00:35:47.579 --> 00:35:50.400 not important this grammar Point allows 738 00:35:50.400 --> 00:35:53.460 us to Simply say that we have or have 739 00:35:53.460 --> 00:35:56.640 not had an experience so this is the 740 00:35:56.640 --> 00:35:58.859 first grammar point about the present 741 00:35:58.859 --> 00:36:00.960 perfect tense the simple use of the 742 00:36:00.960 --> 00:36:02.760 present perfect tense 743 00:36:02.760 --> 00:36:05.460 the next point I want to talk about 744 00:36:05.460 --> 00:36:08.280 though is this second Point number two 745 00:36:08.280 --> 00:36:11.760 here we use the present perfect tense to 746 00:36:11.760 --> 00:36:14.640 talk about an action that started in the 747 00:36:14.640 --> 00:36:18.239 past and continues to the present the 748 00:36:18.239 --> 00:36:21.420 effect of an action that started in the 749 00:36:21.420 --> 00:36:24.900 past continues to the present so this is 750 00:36:24.900 --> 00:36:26.640 a grammar Point that's slightly 751 00:36:26.640 --> 00:36:27.900 different 752 00:36:27.900 --> 00:36:30.540 from number one that I talked about so 753 00:36:30.540 --> 00:36:33.660 the image here is an action that started 754 00:36:33.660 --> 00:36:36.420 at some point in the past it began at 755 00:36:36.420 --> 00:36:39.359 some point in the past and it continues 756 00:36:39.359 --> 00:36:41.700 to the present 757 00:36:41.700 --> 00:36:44.160 or the effects of that action continue 758 00:36:44.160 --> 00:36:46.800 to the present so this is something we 759 00:36:46.800 --> 00:36:49.560 can use to talk about where we live our 760 00:36:49.560 --> 00:36:52.800 studies our work experience for example 761 00:36:52.800 --> 00:36:55.380 I'll show you in a couple of example 762 00:36:55.380 --> 00:36:58.920 sentences a little bit later but this is 763 00:36:58.920 --> 00:37:01.200 the second use the second grammar point 764 00:37:01.200 --> 00:37:03.540 I want to talk a little bit about today 765 00:37:03.540 --> 00:37:06.000 so it's important to note that when we 766 00:37:06.000 --> 00:37:08.160 use this second point when we use the 767 00:37:08.160 --> 00:37:10.440 second use of this grammar point we 768 00:37:10.440 --> 00:37:13.440 often use the words for and since to 769 00:37:13.440 --> 00:37:15.599 express that action that began in the 770 00:37:15.599 --> 00:37:18.060 past and continued to the present it 771 00:37:18.060 --> 00:37:19.320 gives the listener some extra 772 00:37:19.320 --> 00:37:22.859 information about the duration about how 773 00:37:22.859 --> 00:37:26.219 long that action has continued 774 00:37:26.219 --> 00:37:29.579 so the difference between for and since 775 00:37:29.579 --> 00:37:32.640 many people make a mistake with this so 776 00:37:32.640 --> 00:37:34.739 use of for instance is important with 777 00:37:34.739 --> 00:37:37.079 grammar Point number two here especially 778 00:37:37.079 --> 00:37:39.119 because it gives the listener some 779 00:37:39.119 --> 00:37:42.060 information about how long the action 780 00:37:42.060 --> 00:37:45.719 has been happening so in an example 781 00:37:45.719 --> 00:37:47.820 sentence you could say I have lived in 782 00:37:47.820 --> 00:37:50.579 Paris for three years or you could say I 783 00:37:50.579 --> 00:37:53.000 have lived in Paris since 784 00:37:53.000 --> 00:37:57.359 2014. so you can hear four is used for a 785 00:37:57.359 --> 00:38:00.119 period of time I have lived in Paris for 786 00:38:00.119 --> 00:38:02.640 three years three years is a period of 787 00:38:02.640 --> 00:38:05.219 time your period of time can be years 788 00:38:05.219 --> 00:38:09.300 months days minutes hours and so on any 789 00:38:09.300 --> 00:38:11.579 period of time can be used with the word 790 00:38:11.579 --> 00:38:14.579 for I have been teaching this lesson for 791 00:38:14.579 --> 00:38:17.099 a few minutes I have been standing up 792 00:38:17.099 --> 00:38:20.400 for about an hour for example you can 793 00:38:20.400 --> 00:38:22.680 use a different time duration for 794 00:38:22.680 --> 00:38:24.660 different Expressions you can use this 795 00:38:24.660 --> 00:38:27.180 actually a lot in your everyday life 796 00:38:27.180 --> 00:38:28.980 but on the other hand let's talk about 797 00:38:28.980 --> 00:38:32.280 since so since it's used for a point in 798 00:38:32.280 --> 00:38:34.380 time when we want to talk about a point 799 00:38:34.380 --> 00:38:37.440 in time where an action began where an 800 00:38:37.440 --> 00:38:40.680 action started we can use since so for 801 00:38:40.680 --> 00:38:42.900 example in my sentence I said I have 802 00:38:42.900 --> 00:38:44.960 lived in Paris since 803 00:38:44.960 --> 00:38:50.160 2014. so that since shows the exact year 804 00:38:50.160 --> 00:38:53.339 when I started Living in Paris I have 805 00:38:53.339 --> 00:38:57.300 lived in Paris since 2014 and the action 806 00:38:57.300 --> 00:39:00.660 continues to the present so we can use 807 00:39:00.660 --> 00:39:04.079 for and since to show when an action 808 00:39:04.079 --> 00:39:07.380 began and we also know that that action 809 00:39:07.380 --> 00:39:09.839 is going to be continuing that action 810 00:39:09.839 --> 00:39:13.320 will continue to the present so these 811 00:39:13.320 --> 00:39:15.180 are kind of the two grammar points I'd 812 00:39:15.180 --> 00:39:18.180 like to talk about then lastly I want to 813 00:39:18.180 --> 00:39:20.460 talk about how to make this grammar 814 00:39:20.460 --> 00:39:22.380 Point how to make the present perfect 815 00:39:22.380 --> 00:39:25.619 tense so I have three categories here 816 00:39:25.619 --> 00:39:28.200 there's positive statements negative 817 00:39:28.200 --> 00:39:30.839 statements and question statements these 818 00:39:30.839 --> 00:39:33.180 are just the basic forms of these three 819 00:39:33.180 --> 00:39:37.020 types of sentences so let's talk about a 820 00:39:37.020 --> 00:39:39.000 few different sentence patterns that we 821 00:39:39.000 --> 00:39:40.920 can make I have positive statements 822 00:39:40.920 --> 00:39:42.960 negative statements and question 823 00:39:42.960 --> 00:39:45.300 statements these are just a few examples 824 00:39:45.300 --> 00:39:47.400 of the type of sentences and questions 825 00:39:47.400 --> 00:39:49.619 that you can make with this grammar 826 00:39:49.619 --> 00:39:52.020 point so first to make a positive 827 00:39:52.020 --> 00:39:54.480 statement we'll use have or has 828 00:39:54.480 --> 00:39:56.579 depending on your subject if your 829 00:39:56.579 --> 00:39:58.920 subject is I for example we'll say I 830 00:39:58.920 --> 00:40:02.820 have you have and we have for uh he and 831 00:40:02.820 --> 00:40:06.420 she he has she has and so on so 832 00:40:06.420 --> 00:40:08.280 depending on your subject we will use 833 00:40:08.280 --> 00:40:12.420 have or has next we need to include the 834 00:40:12.420 --> 00:40:15.599 past participle form of the verb so for 835 00:40:15.599 --> 00:40:18.960 example I have lived in Paris lived is 836 00:40:18.960 --> 00:40:21.359 the past participle form of the verb 837 00:40:21.359 --> 00:40:26.280 live I have been to Paris so we can use 838 00:40:26.280 --> 00:40:28.500 these past particles simple forms of 839 00:40:28.500 --> 00:40:31.560 verbs bin in this case to talk about the 840 00:40:31.560 --> 00:40:33.900 present perfect tense to use the present 841 00:40:33.900 --> 00:40:36.239 perfect tense please try to remember 842 00:40:36.239 --> 00:40:39.420 your past participle forms of verbs but 843 00:40:39.420 --> 00:40:42.719 I find that one of the best ways to get 844 00:40:42.719 --> 00:40:44.760 used to using the correct form of the 845 00:40:44.760 --> 00:40:46.800 verb here is just practicing in 846 00:40:46.800 --> 00:40:48.780 sentences it's a little bit difficult to 847 00:40:48.780 --> 00:40:51.300 memorize all the verbs just from a list 848 00:40:51.300 --> 00:40:54.000 so try practicing them in sentences to 849 00:40:54.000 --> 00:40:55.200 remember 850 00:40:55.200 --> 00:40:57.540 let's talk then about how to make a 851 00:40:57.540 --> 00:40:59.820 negative statement so a life experience 852 00:40:59.820 --> 00:41:03.180 you have not had this is the sentence 853 00:41:03.180 --> 00:41:05.219 pattern that you can use to describe 854 00:41:05.219 --> 00:41:07.859 that so again depending on your subject 855 00:41:07.859 --> 00:41:12.719 use have or has I have he has and so on 856 00:41:12.719 --> 00:41:16.500 next we'll include never so I have never 857 00:41:16.500 --> 00:41:19.680 he has never they have never you have 858 00:41:19.680 --> 00:41:23.640 never and so on so this never shows no 859 00:41:23.640 --> 00:41:25.500 experience this is our negative 860 00:41:25.500 --> 00:41:27.060 expression 861 00:41:27.060 --> 00:41:30.239 then finally we'll include the past 862 00:41:30.239 --> 00:41:32.940 participle form of the verb so I have 863 00:41:32.940 --> 00:41:36.900 never eaten horse he has never visited 864 00:41:36.900 --> 00:41:39.900 Italy and so on these make negative 865 00:41:39.900 --> 00:41:42.420 statements with never 866 00:41:42.420 --> 00:41:44.940 okay and finally a couple of different 867 00:41:44.940 --> 00:41:47.460 question patterns that we can use there 868 00:41:47.460 --> 00:41:49.680 are a lot of different questions yes and 869 00:41:49.680 --> 00:41:52.859 no questions information questions let's 870 00:41:52.859 --> 00:41:55.440 take a look at a simple one a simple yes 871 00:41:55.440 --> 00:41:58.260 no pattern so again we begin with our 872 00:41:58.260 --> 00:42:00.599 has and have depending on the subject 873 00:42:00.599 --> 00:42:05.280 here so have you been for example with 874 00:42:05.280 --> 00:42:09.119 the past participle verb has she seen 875 00:42:09.119 --> 00:42:12.119 and so on so again we need to use this 876 00:42:12.119 --> 00:42:14.640 past participle form of the verb when 877 00:42:14.640 --> 00:42:16.320 making our questions 878 00:42:16.320 --> 00:42:19.619 you might have heard people use ever I 879 00:42:19.619 --> 00:42:23.040 have here at the bottom this ever in 880 00:42:23.040 --> 00:42:25.739 this sentence style have you ever been 881 00:42:25.739 --> 00:42:28.460 to France have you ever eaten something 882 00:42:28.460 --> 00:42:32.700 this ever uh the the Nuance of this ever 883 00:42:32.700 --> 00:42:37.260 is in your whole life experience so ever 884 00:42:37.260 --> 00:42:40.500 kind of amplifies ever emphasizes the 885 00:42:40.500 --> 00:42:42.719 importance of your life experience in 886 00:42:42.719 --> 00:42:45.300 your entire life have you had the 887 00:42:45.300 --> 00:42:48.619 experience of something this ever 888 00:42:48.619 --> 00:42:52.020 emphasizes your entire life's experience 889 00:42:52.020 --> 00:42:54.900 if you say for example have you seen 890 00:42:54.900 --> 00:42:56.160 that movie 891 00:42:56.160 --> 00:42:58.500 it sounds like maybe it's a recent movie 892 00:42:58.500 --> 00:43:01.440 but if you say have you ever seen 893 00:43:01.440 --> 00:43:04.440 such and such movie it sounds like maybe 894 00:43:04.440 --> 00:43:07.319 the movie is a little bit older so 895 00:43:07.319 --> 00:43:09.719 especially in cases where you'd like to 896 00:43:09.719 --> 00:43:12.719 emphasize something that's not so recent 897 00:43:12.719 --> 00:43:15.660 you might consider using ever in your 898 00:43:15.660 --> 00:43:18.119 questions have you ever been to a 899 00:43:18.119 --> 00:43:19.980 different country have you ever studied 900 00:43:19.980 --> 00:43:23.460 something else so using ever shows that 901 00:43:23.460 --> 00:43:25.380 maybe you're thinking something about 902 00:43:25.380 --> 00:43:27.960 something a little bit further back a 903 00:43:27.960 --> 00:43:30.420 little bit more in the past in someone's 904 00:43:30.420 --> 00:43:33.900 life okay so now that we know this 905 00:43:33.900 --> 00:43:36.180 let's take a look at a few example 906 00:43:36.180 --> 00:43:40.140 sentences that I've prepared so first I 907 00:43:40.140 --> 00:43:43.200 have they something something in Germany 908 00:43:43.200 --> 00:43:46.160 so here I want to use the verb live live 909 00:43:46.160 --> 00:43:49.739 so the past participle form of the verb 910 00:43:49.739 --> 00:43:52.859 live is lived and my subject here is 911 00:43:52.859 --> 00:43:57.900 they so I need to use they have lived 912 00:43:57.900 --> 00:44:00.660 in Germany this is a very very simple 913 00:44:00.660 --> 00:44:04.079 sentence they have lived in Germany I'm 914 00:44:04.079 --> 00:44:06.839 using this simple structure this simple 915 00:44:06.839 --> 00:44:09.239 grammar Point number one which we talked 916 00:44:09.239 --> 00:44:12.060 about so this is just a life experience 917 00:44:12.060 --> 00:44:14.880 when did they live in Germany we don't 918 00:44:14.880 --> 00:44:17.880 know but it's just the experience that 919 00:44:17.880 --> 00:44:20.460 we want to focus on in this sentence I 920 00:44:20.460 --> 00:44:22.560 could change the sentence to say they 921 00:44:22.560 --> 00:44:25.160 have lived in Germany since 922 00:44:25.160 --> 00:44:28.079 1999 in that case 923 00:44:28.079 --> 00:44:31.619 it means they live in Germany now also 924 00:44:31.619 --> 00:44:34.500 however if they do not live in Germany 925 00:44:34.500 --> 00:44:37.140 they only want to express their life 926 00:44:37.140 --> 00:44:39.960 experience of living in Germany they 927 00:44:39.960 --> 00:44:42.540 could say they have lived in Germany 928 00:44:42.540 --> 00:44:45.060 they have lived in Germany only that 929 00:44:45.060 --> 00:44:48.180 sentence so please be careful they have 930 00:44:48.180 --> 00:44:51.359 lived in Germany since 1999 shows they 931 00:44:51.359 --> 00:44:54.239 still live in Germany saying they have 932 00:44:54.239 --> 00:44:57.780 lived in Germany shows only a life 933 00:44:57.780 --> 00:44:59.280 experience 934 00:44:59.280 --> 00:45:01.020 if you'd like to give more information 935 00:45:01.020 --> 00:45:03.780 about where they live now do it in the 936 00:45:03.780 --> 00:45:07.040 next sentence they have lived in Germany 937 00:45:07.040 --> 00:45:10.079 but they travel around a lot and now 938 00:45:10.079 --> 00:45:12.960 they're living in Paris for example so 939 00:45:12.960 --> 00:45:15.060 using the present progressive tense to 940 00:45:15.060 --> 00:45:17.280 give some more information in the next 941 00:45:17.280 --> 00:45:20.280 sentence okay so here we see grammar 942 00:45:20.280 --> 00:45:22.619 Point number one is being used in this 943 00:45:22.619 --> 00:45:25.260 first sentence let's take a look here at 944 00:45:25.260 --> 00:45:27.239 a negative sentence I something 945 00:45:27.239 --> 00:45:29.819 something never something something to 946 00:45:29.819 --> 00:45:31.319 Italy here 947 00:45:31.319 --> 00:45:34.800 we have the subject I here we know that 948 00:45:34.800 --> 00:45:36.540 it's a negative sentence because it's 949 00:45:36.540 --> 00:45:40.800 never so we need to use I have never and 950 00:45:40.800 --> 00:45:44.400 then if I want to use the verb be if I 951 00:45:44.400 --> 00:45:45.900 want to use the verb be the past 952 00:45:45.900 --> 00:45:49.079 participle form of the verb be is bin I 953 00:45:49.079 --> 00:45:51.599 have never been 954 00:45:51.599 --> 00:45:55.140 to Italy is the correct sentence here so 955 00:45:55.140 --> 00:45:58.020 I'm expressing no experience in my life 956 00:45:58.020 --> 00:46:00.960 I have never been to Italy meaning 957 00:46:00.960 --> 00:46:02.880 as we talked about with grammar Point 958 00:46:02.880 --> 00:46:06.359 number one in my whole life I have not 959 00:46:06.359 --> 00:46:09.000 had an experience so there's no time 960 00:46:09.000 --> 00:46:11.880 point being used here I have never had 961 00:46:11.880 --> 00:46:15.780 the experience of going to Italy okay 962 00:46:15.780 --> 00:46:18.660 now let's talk about the next example 963 00:46:18.660 --> 00:46:20.280 sentence she's something something 964 00:46:20.280 --> 00:46:24.060 something the test three times so here I 965 00:46:24.060 --> 00:46:26.640 want to use the verb take so to take a 966 00:46:26.640 --> 00:46:29.339 test take is going to be the verb for 967 00:46:29.339 --> 00:46:32.339 this sentence so here my subject is she 968 00:46:32.339 --> 00:46:34.800 she and I know this is a positive 969 00:46:34.800 --> 00:46:37.260 sentence a positive statement so I'm 970 00:46:37.260 --> 00:46:42.180 going to use has she has and take the 971 00:46:42.180 --> 00:46:45.060 past participle form of the verb take is 972 00:46:45.060 --> 00:46:49.020 taken she has taken 973 00:46:49.020 --> 00:46:52.500 the test three times so this sentence 974 00:46:52.500 --> 00:46:56.219 shows in her life experience at three 975 00:46:56.219 --> 00:46:59.040 times three points in her life she has 976 00:46:59.040 --> 00:47:02.160 taken the test so we don't know when she 977 00:47:02.160 --> 00:47:04.560 took the test but we know she has taken 978 00:47:04.560 --> 00:47:08.099 the test three times at some point in 979 00:47:08.099 --> 00:47:10.020 the past this is what this sentence 980 00:47:10.020 --> 00:47:12.420 teaches us we don't know when just that 981 00:47:12.420 --> 00:47:15.800 she has taken the test three times okay 982 00:47:15.800 --> 00:47:19.079 next let's look at this sentence maybe a 983 00:47:19.079 --> 00:47:21.300 very useful sentence for some people who 984 00:47:21.300 --> 00:47:23.660 are watching this video on this channel 985 00:47:23.660 --> 00:47:27.380 so this is I something something English 986 00:47:27.380 --> 00:47:30.900 for two years okay so there's a big hint 987 00:47:30.900 --> 00:47:34.020 word here I have the word for included 988 00:47:34.020 --> 00:47:37.500 in this sentence remember we use four to 989 00:47:37.500 --> 00:47:40.739 talk about a time period a time period 990 00:47:40.739 --> 00:47:42.719 so 991 00:47:42.719 --> 00:47:45.540 that connects to grammar point two which 992 00:47:45.540 --> 00:47:47.760 we talked about over here so remember 993 00:47:47.760 --> 00:47:50.460 with grammar Point number two for 994 00:47:50.460 --> 00:47:52.859 present perfect tense we're showing an 995 00:47:52.859 --> 00:47:55.260 action that started in the past and 996 00:47:55.260 --> 00:47:59.040 continues to the present okay so the 997 00:47:59.040 --> 00:48:02.099 verb I want to use here is study study 998 00:48:02.099 --> 00:48:07.020 so my subject is I so I need to use have 999 00:48:07.020 --> 00:48:09.780 in this case and the past participle 1000 00:48:09.780 --> 00:48:14.160 form of study is studied so I have 1001 00:48:14.160 --> 00:48:17.280 studied English for two years this shows 1002 00:48:17.280 --> 00:48:20.280 us a length of time a period of time a 1003 00:48:20.280 --> 00:48:23.219 duration for your studies it shows your 1004 00:48:23.219 --> 00:48:25.800 studies are continuing you are still 1005 00:48:25.800 --> 00:48:28.500 studying English two years ago you 1006 00:48:28.500 --> 00:48:29.460 started 1007 00:48:29.460 --> 00:48:32.099 and you have continued since that time 1008 00:48:32.099 --> 00:48:34.859 you have continued studying for two 1009 00:48:34.859 --> 00:48:37.500 years so this sentence shows us that you 1010 00:48:37.500 --> 00:48:39.960 have studied English and how long you 1011 00:48:39.960 --> 00:48:41.700 have studied English lots of information 1012 00:48:41.700 --> 00:48:43.140 here 1013 00:48:43.140 --> 00:48:46.140 okay let's talk about the next sentence 1014 00:48:46.140 --> 00:48:50.160 a question sentence now okay so here my 1015 00:48:50.160 --> 00:48:54.359 subject I have he he is here so I know 1016 00:48:54.359 --> 00:48:56.400 that because the subject of the sentence 1017 00:48:56.400 --> 00:48:59.219 is he I need to begin my question with 1018 00:48:59.219 --> 00:49:02.640 has has he something something so here I 1019 00:49:02.640 --> 00:49:04.920 want to use the verb take take out the 1020 00:49:04.920 --> 00:49:08.460 trash is sort of a set phrase so 1021 00:49:08.460 --> 00:49:11.280 the past participle form of take is 1022 00:49:11.280 --> 00:49:14.660 taken has he taken out the trash meaning 1023 00:49:14.660 --> 00:49:18.900 uh perhaps today at some point has he 1024 00:49:18.900 --> 00:49:22.140 taken out the trash so maybe we don't 1025 00:49:22.140 --> 00:49:25.079 know when and when he took out the trash 1026 00:49:25.079 --> 00:49:27.719 is not important just has he finished 1027 00:49:27.719 --> 00:49:31.619 the task at some point today so we use 1028 00:49:31.619 --> 00:49:34.739 the present perfect tense for that so we 1029 00:49:34.739 --> 00:49:36.839 can use the simple past sentence did he 1030 00:49:36.839 --> 00:49:38.819 take out the trash but the reason that 1031 00:49:38.819 --> 00:49:40.920 it sounds a little bit more natural to 1032 00:49:40.920 --> 00:49:43.619 say has he taken out the trash is 1033 00:49:43.619 --> 00:49:45.119 because of this point we talked about 1034 00:49:45.119 --> 00:49:48.900 here the effects of that action so if he 1035 00:49:48.900 --> 00:49:50.819 did or did not take out the trash it 1036 00:49:50.819 --> 00:49:52.800 could affect the people around him or 1037 00:49:52.800 --> 00:49:56.160 the environment around him so has he 1038 00:49:56.160 --> 00:49:58.920 taken out the trash if the answer is no 1039 00:49:58.920 --> 00:50:00.719 it might mean there's some negative 1040 00:50:00.719 --> 00:50:03.540 effect in the environment if the answer 1041 00:50:03.540 --> 00:50:05.700 is yes perhaps it means the people in 1042 00:50:05.700 --> 00:50:08.160 the environment will be happy there will 1043 00:50:08.160 --> 00:50:10.619 be a half the effect of that so this is 1044 00:50:10.619 --> 00:50:12.839 the consideration it's a very very small 1045 00:50:12.839 --> 00:50:15.480 point if you ask did he take out the 1046 00:50:15.480 --> 00:50:18.060 trash it's okay to use but keep in mind 1047 00:50:18.060 --> 00:50:20.640 though you may hear people say has he 1048 00:50:20.640 --> 00:50:23.460 taken out the trash as well and this is 1049 00:50:23.460 --> 00:50:25.739 the reason why the effect of taking out 1050 00:50:25.739 --> 00:50:28.260 the trash is what's kind of the Nuance 1051 00:50:28.260 --> 00:50:31.680 of this expression uh great so let's 1052 00:50:31.680 --> 00:50:33.719 talk about the next example sentence 1053 00:50:33.719 --> 00:50:36.000 which country something something you 1054 00:50:36.000 --> 00:50:39.599 something something to so in casual kind 1055 00:50:39.599 --> 00:50:42.359 of more everyday friendly spoken English 1056 00:50:42.359 --> 00:50:44.880 it's okay to end your sentence with a 1057 00:50:44.880 --> 00:50:47.819 preposition in this case too so here I 1058 00:50:47.819 --> 00:50:49.619 have an information question which 1059 00:50:49.619 --> 00:50:53.819 countries I need to use have or has here 1060 00:50:53.819 --> 00:50:57.300 plus you so that tells me I should use 1061 00:50:57.300 --> 00:51:01.020 half which countries have you and I want 1062 00:51:01.020 --> 00:51:04.559 to use again the verb be here so I know 1063 00:51:04.559 --> 00:51:06.540 it should be bin 1064 00:51:06.540 --> 00:51:09.540 which countries have you been to so 1065 00:51:09.540 --> 00:51:12.000 again in your life experience which 1066 00:51:12.000 --> 00:51:14.339 countries have you been to when is not 1067 00:51:14.339 --> 00:51:16.859 important just in your life where where 1068 00:51:16.859 --> 00:51:18.300 which countries 1069 00:51:18.300 --> 00:51:20.579 okay let's look at the next one you'll 1070 00:51:20.579 --> 00:51:22.980 see I have a little apostrophe maybe you 1071 00:51:22.980 --> 00:51:25.079 can see it on the screen there there's a 1072 00:51:25.079 --> 00:51:26.760 little apostrophe here which is a 1073 00:51:26.760 --> 00:51:29.760 pronunciation hint so this is a yes or 1074 00:51:29.760 --> 00:51:31.559 no question you something something 1075 00:51:31.559 --> 00:51:33.619 never something something a motorcycle 1076 00:51:33.619 --> 00:51:36.540 so motorcycle the verb I want to use 1077 00:51:36.540 --> 00:51:39.739 with motorcycle is ride ride the past 1078 00:51:39.739 --> 00:51:43.920 participle form is written you've never 1079 00:51:43.920 --> 00:51:47.520 written a motorcycle is the complete 1080 00:51:47.520 --> 00:51:49.800 sentence here so I mentioned this 1081 00:51:49.800 --> 00:51:53.400 pronunciation hint uh you have becomes 1082 00:51:53.400 --> 00:51:56.339 you've in the contracted form you've so 1083 00:51:56.339 --> 00:51:59.219 try not to use you have he has she has 1084 00:51:59.219 --> 00:52:02.400 try to use that apostrophe ve or 1085 00:52:02.400 --> 00:52:04.800 apostrophe s sound when you're speaking 1086 00:52:04.800 --> 00:52:07.619 you've never he's never she's never 1087 00:52:07.619 --> 00:52:10.739 sounds a lot more natural and a lot more 1088 00:52:10.739 --> 00:52:14.880 fluid fluent as well than he has or she 1089 00:52:14.880 --> 00:52:17.760 has or you have so please try to use the 1090 00:52:17.760 --> 00:52:20.339 contracted form here so this sentence 1091 00:52:20.339 --> 00:52:23.339 you've never ridden a motorcycle meaning 1092 00:52:23.339 --> 00:52:25.920 in your life experience 1093 00:52:25.920 --> 00:52:29.339 you have never ridden a motorcycle so 1094 00:52:29.339 --> 00:52:31.980 this is a yes or no question no I've 1095 00:52:31.980 --> 00:52:34.200 never ridden a motorcycle could be the 1096 00:52:34.200 --> 00:52:36.839 answer or yes I have actually ridden a 1097 00:52:36.839 --> 00:52:39.599 motorcycle so this is a simple yes or no 1098 00:52:39.599 --> 00:52:42.059 question but we use the negative form 1099 00:52:42.059 --> 00:52:44.520 here you've never it sounds surprised 1100 00:52:44.520 --> 00:52:46.739 this sounds kind of shocked 1101 00:52:46.739 --> 00:52:49.380 okay let's look at our next example 1102 00:52:49.380 --> 00:52:51.719 sentence we something something never 1103 00:52:51.719 --> 00:52:54.359 something something the verb I want to 1104 00:52:54.359 --> 00:52:57.180 use for this sentence is work work okay 1105 00:52:57.180 --> 00:53:01.079 so the past participle form of work is 1106 00:53:01.079 --> 00:53:02.219 worked 1107 00:53:02.219 --> 00:53:06.300 here okay and uh we is the subject of 1108 00:53:06.300 --> 00:53:09.839 the sentence so we're going to use we 1109 00:53:09.839 --> 00:53:12.900 have never worked internationally in our 1110 00:53:12.900 --> 00:53:15.900 life experience we do not have the 1111 00:53:15.900 --> 00:53:17.940 experience of working internationally 1112 00:53:17.940 --> 00:53:21.000 okay finally 1113 00:53:21.000 --> 00:53:24.739 they something something in Paris since 1114 00:53:24.739 --> 00:53:27.780 2015. so just as we practice with this 1115 00:53:27.780 --> 00:53:30.540 example sentence with four here we see 1116 00:53:30.540 --> 00:53:33.480 since so this shows us that maybe a 1117 00:53:33.480 --> 00:53:37.079 specific point in time in this case 2015 1118 00:53:37.079 --> 00:53:39.359 is going to give us some extra 1119 00:53:39.359 --> 00:53:43.920 information about this situation so 1120 00:53:43.920 --> 00:53:44.819 um 1121 00:53:44.819 --> 00:53:48.599 let's use the verb live again 1122 00:53:48.599 --> 00:53:51.300 we know that the past participle form of 1123 00:53:51.300 --> 00:53:53.280 live is lived 1124 00:53:53.280 --> 00:53:56.339 and we'll use have because our subject 1125 00:53:56.339 --> 00:53:58.619 is they so they have lived in Paris 1126 00:53:58.619 --> 00:54:02.460 since 2015. so this sentence shows us 1127 00:54:02.460 --> 00:54:06.059 that in 2015 they moved to Paris and 1128 00:54:06.059 --> 00:54:08.460 they have lived in Paris they have 1129 00:54:08.460 --> 00:54:11.280 continued living in Paris since that 1130 00:54:11.280 --> 00:54:13.980 time this sentence shows us that with 1131 00:54:13.980 --> 00:54:17.760 sins okay so those are a few example 1132 00:54:17.760 --> 00:54:21.239 sentences and a short introduction to 1133 00:54:21.239 --> 00:54:24.239 how to use the present perfect tense and 1134 00:54:24.239 --> 00:54:26.099 also a little bit of information on 1135 00:54:26.099 --> 00:54:29.400 using for and since so I hope that this 1136 00:54:29.400 --> 00:54:31.260 lesson was useful for you if you have

01:05:41.160 --> 01:05:42.540 time bye 1397 01:05:42.540 --> 01:05:45.059 hi everybody my name is Alicia in this 1398 01:05:45.059 --> 01:05:47.160 lesson I'm going to talk about could 1399 01:05:47.160 --> 01:05:50.220 have should have and would have what 1400 01:05:50.220 --> 01:05:52.079 they mean how to use them in the 1401 01:05:52.079 --> 01:05:54.119 negative and the differences between 1402 01:05:54.119 --> 01:05:57.599 them so let's get started first I want 1403 01:05:57.599 --> 01:06:00.480 to begin with could have let's look at 1404 01:06:00.480 --> 01:06:03.000 the positive and the negative meanings 1405 01:06:03.000 --> 01:06:06.480 of could have first positive we use 1406 01:06:06.480 --> 01:06:09.480 could have positive for something that 1407 01:06:09.480 --> 01:06:13.319 was possible in the past so to give kind 1408 01:06:13.319 --> 01:06:15.839 of an image of this if our conversation 1409 01:06:15.839 --> 01:06:19.859 is happening now when we use could have 1410 01:06:19.859 --> 01:06:22.859 we're talking about something that had 1411 01:06:22.859 --> 01:06:26.160 possibility in the past something we 1412 01:06:26.160 --> 01:06:29.579 were able to do for example an example 1413 01:06:29.579 --> 01:06:33.539 sentence ah if I had known you were 1414 01:06:33.539 --> 01:06:37.260 throwing a surprise party I could have 1415 01:06:37.260 --> 01:06:41.700 helped I could have helped so here could 1416 01:06:41.700 --> 01:06:45.180 have shows us that this action helping 1417 01:06:45.180 --> 01:06:48.539 was possible in the past in this case 1418 01:06:48.539 --> 01:06:50.819 the speaker did not know some 1419 01:06:50.819 --> 01:06:51.619 information 1420 01:06:51.619 --> 01:06:54.660 and as a result this action did not 1421 01:06:54.660 --> 01:06:58.440 happen but it was possible at a point in 1422 01:06:58.440 --> 01:07:01.260 the past the speaker could have helped 1423 01:07:01.260 --> 01:07:04.319 helping was a possibility in the past so 1424 01:07:04.319 --> 01:07:06.720 we use could have to express that 1425 01:07:06.720 --> 01:07:07.920 possibility 1426 01:07:07.920 --> 01:07:11.220 the negative form however expresses the 1427 01:07:11.220 --> 01:07:14.579 opposite so in the negative could 1428 01:07:14.579 --> 01:07:17.039 not have 1429 01:07:17.039 --> 01:07:20.180 expresses something that was impossible 1430 01:07:20.180 --> 01:07:23.220 impossible so not possible in the past 1431 01:07:23.220 --> 01:07:26.039 so here if we want to give an image it's 1432 01:07:26.039 --> 01:07:29.280 something that was not possible 1433 01:07:29.280 --> 01:07:32.640 something we were not able to do let's 1434 01:07:32.640 --> 01:07:34.760 look at an example of this 1435 01:07:34.760 --> 01:07:39.480 no that couldn't have been Sarah in the 1436 01:07:39.480 --> 01:07:43.319 cafe just now she's at the office so 1437 01:07:43.319 --> 01:07:47.220 here I'm using couldn't have could not 1438 01:07:47.220 --> 01:07:50.119 have contracted reduced becomes couldn't 1439 01:07:50.119 --> 01:07:53.819 so that couldn't have been Sarah in the 1440 01:07:53.819 --> 01:07:56.640 cafe just now in other words it's 1441 01:07:56.640 --> 01:07:59.940 impossible that just now we saw Sarah in 1442 01:07:59.940 --> 01:08:04.319 the cafe why she's at the office so in 1443 01:08:04.319 --> 01:08:06.359 this case maybe Sarah is the speaker's 1444 01:08:06.359 --> 01:08:09.000 colleague co-worker so we know Sarah is 1445 01:08:09.000 --> 01:08:11.400 at the office so we saw someone maybe 1446 01:08:11.400 --> 01:08:14.339 who looks like Sarah at the cafe just 1447 01:08:14.339 --> 01:08:17.640 now but it's not possible it was Sarah 1448 01:08:17.640 --> 01:08:20.219 because Sarah's at the office so we can 1449 01:08:20.219 --> 01:08:23.880 say that couldn't have been so it's 1450 01:08:23.880 --> 01:08:26.520 impossible that that was Sarah so 1451 01:08:26.520 --> 01:08:28.380 couldn't have been sounds much more 1452 01:08:28.380 --> 01:08:30.660 natural than it's impossible that that 1453 01:08:30.660 --> 01:08:33.060 was Sarah so we use couldn't have been 1454 01:08:33.060 --> 01:08:35.100 or could not have been 1455 01:08:35.100 --> 01:08:38.040 so positive form something that was 1456 01:08:38.040 --> 01:08:41.640 possible in the past so be careful in 1457 01:08:41.640 --> 01:08:44.339 maybe contrast a key difference here is 1458 01:08:44.339 --> 01:08:47.698 this is only about possibility we're not 1459 01:08:47.698 --> 01:08:49.859 talking about like a plan to do 1460 01:08:49.859 --> 01:08:52.799 something or regret necessarily we're 1461 01:08:52.799 --> 01:08:55.620 only talking about possibility when we 1462 01:08:55.620 --> 01:08:59.880 use could or could not here so with this 1463 01:08:59.880 --> 01:09:02.698 let's move along to the next part the 1464 01:09:02.698 --> 01:09:05.460 next part I want to focus on should have 1465 01:09:05.460 --> 01:09:08.040 so let's look at the positive form 1466 01:09:08.040 --> 01:09:11.460 should have in the positive expresses 1467 01:09:11.460 --> 01:09:16.198 regret for something we did not do in 1468 01:09:16.198 --> 01:09:19.259 the past so an image of this here if our 1469 01:09:19.259 --> 01:09:22.140 conversation is happening now we want to 1470 01:09:22.140 --> 01:09:24.000 talk about something 1471 01:09:24.000 --> 01:09:28.560 we did not do in the past and that now 1472 01:09:28.560 --> 01:09:32.060 maybe we think oh it's a good idea like 1473 01:09:32.060 --> 01:09:36.179 I should have done this thing I did not 1474 01:09:36.179 --> 01:09:38.460 do this thing in the past that's why I 1475 01:09:38.460 --> 01:09:40.859 marked it with an X here so I did not do 1476 01:09:40.859 --> 01:09:44.100 this thing but I feel bad now I feel 1477 01:09:44.100 --> 01:09:47.580 regret like I should have done that 1478 01:09:47.580 --> 01:09:50.460 thing in the past so an example sentence 1479 01:09:50.460 --> 01:09:51.540 of this 1480 01:09:51.540 --> 01:09:55.080 I should have studied more when I was in 1481 01:09:55.080 --> 01:09:58.198 school here is the should have I should 1482 01:09:58.198 --> 01:10:01.920 have and this action studied more 1483 01:10:01.920 --> 01:10:05.400 so in other words the speaker did not 1484 01:10:05.400 --> 01:10:08.040 study enough in the past the speaker 1485 01:10:08.040 --> 01:10:10.620 feels he or she did not study enough in 1486 01:10:10.620 --> 01:10:13.439 the past regrets that and wants to 1487 01:10:13.439 --> 01:10:17.340 express the change like I wish I had 1488 01:10:17.340 --> 01:10:20.159 done this thing I should have studied 1489 01:10:20.159 --> 01:10:23.698 more when I was in school so here we 1490 01:10:23.698 --> 01:10:25.800 have more this is a common pattern with 1491 01:10:25.800 --> 01:10:28.380 should have or should not have when we 1492 01:10:28.380 --> 01:10:30.420 use more it means I should have studied 1493 01:10:30.420 --> 01:10:34.380 more than I did when I was in school 1494 01:10:34.380 --> 01:10:37.198 so here the speaker is Regret expressing 1495 01:10:37.198 --> 01:10:40.500 regret sadness about something they did 1496 01:10:40.500 --> 01:10:43.620 not do therefore when we use the 1497 01:10:43.620 --> 01:10:45.780 negative form the speaker again 1498 01:10:45.780 --> 01:10:48.360 expressed his regret yes but they're 1499 01:10:48.360 --> 01:10:50.640 expressing regret for something that 1500 01:10:50.640 --> 01:10:53.280 happened in the past something they did 1501 01:10:53.280 --> 01:10:55.439 in the past so I've marked it here with 1502 01:10:55.439 --> 01:10:58.800 a check this action did happen and we 1503 01:10:58.800 --> 01:11:01.500 feel regret about that action we feel 1504 01:11:01.500 --> 01:11:04.198 bad about something we did in the past 1505 01:11:04.198 --> 01:11:07.979 an example I shouldn't have spent so 1506 01:11:07.979 --> 01:11:10.860 much time playing video games when I was 1507 01:11:10.860 --> 01:11:15.360 a kid so here I've used shouldn't have 1508 01:11:15.360 --> 01:11:18.719 so should not have is how we make the 1509 01:11:18.719 --> 01:11:20.880 negative form I've reduced it shouldn't 1510 01:11:20.880 --> 01:11:23.100 have shouldn't have in Rapid speech 1511 01:11:23.100 --> 01:11:25.500 shouldn't have I shouldn't have spent so 1512 01:11:25.500 --> 01:11:28.560 much time playing video games so what's 1513 01:11:28.560 --> 01:11:31.080 the action here the speaker played video 1514 01:11:31.080 --> 01:11:34.439 games when he or she was a child the 1515 01:11:34.439 --> 01:11:36.900 speaker now regrets that the speaker 1516 01:11:36.900 --> 01:11:39.659 says I shouldn't have spent so much time 1517 01:11:39.659 --> 01:11:42.238 I should have spent less time playing 1518 01:11:42.238 --> 01:11:45.300 video games so I could use positive 1519 01:11:45.300 --> 01:11:47.760 should have I should have spent less 1520 01:11:47.760 --> 01:11:50.340 time playing video games when I was a 1521 01:11:50.340 --> 01:11:53.040 kid here I shouldn't have spent so much 1522 01:11:53.040 --> 01:11:56.460 time so here a key point we should have 1523 01:11:56.460 --> 01:11:59.460 is that we're expressing regret remember 1524 01:11:59.460 --> 01:12:01.820 with could have we're talking just about 1525 01:12:01.820 --> 01:12:04.620 possibility with should have we're 1526 01:12:04.620 --> 01:12:06.960 expressing a regret for something that 1527 01:12:06.960 --> 01:12:10.320 did or did not happen in the past so 1528 01:12:10.320 --> 01:12:12.420 with this in mind let's go on to the 1529 01:12:12.420 --> 01:12:14.698 last point for this lesson the last 1530 01:12:14.698 --> 01:12:17.219 Point uh the last Point rather is would 1531 01:12:17.219 --> 01:12:18.780 have would have 1532 01:12:18.780 --> 01:12:21.960 so when we say would have we often say 1533 01:12:21.960 --> 01:12:24.479 would have would have I mentioned here 1534 01:12:24.479 --> 01:12:26.640 with should have we say should have or 1535 01:12:26.640 --> 01:12:28.500 shouldn't have same thing with could 1536 01:12:28.500 --> 01:12:30.960 have like could have or couldn't have is 1537 01:12:30.960 --> 01:12:34.020 the correct pronunciation in fast speed 1538 01:12:34.020 --> 01:12:36.360 so when we talk about would have or when 1539 01:12:36.360 --> 01:12:38.698 we look at would have and we look at the 1540 01:12:38.698 --> 01:12:40.800 positive form 1541 01:12:40.800 --> 01:12:43.800 um we use it to express a plan for 1542 01:12:43.800 --> 01:12:47.100 something that did not happen so we're 1543 01:12:47.100 --> 01:12:49.860 talking about something in the past so 1544 01:12:49.860 --> 01:12:52.198 from a point in the past 1545 01:12:52.198 --> 01:12:55.860 something in the future at that time 1546 01:12:55.860 --> 01:12:58.080 we had a plan for that thing or we 1547 01:12:58.080 --> 01:12:59.760 thought something was going to happen 1548 01:12:59.760 --> 01:13:02.939 but in the positive form it did not 1549 01:13:02.939 --> 01:13:05.400 happen this is kind of tricky let's look 1550 01:13:05.400 --> 01:13:08.280 at an example situation here 1551 01:13:08.280 --> 01:13:12.719 I would have arrived on time today but 1552 01:13:12.719 --> 01:13:15.420 there was terrible traffic so I did not 1553 01:13:15.420 --> 01:13:18.719 arrive on time so first here's my action 1554 01:13:18.719 --> 01:13:21.780 I would have arrived on time 1555 01:13:21.780 --> 01:13:26.760 so I had a plan or I had a desire I was 1556 01:13:26.760 --> 01:13:29.820 thinking I was going to arrive on time 1557 01:13:29.820 --> 01:13:32.880 so at this point in time I would have 1558 01:13:32.880 --> 01:13:34.738 arrived on time today maybe we're 1559 01:13:34.738 --> 01:13:36.479 thinking when I left the house maybe 1560 01:13:36.479 --> 01:13:39.420 this is where the action starts my plan 1561 01:13:39.420 --> 01:13:42.360 was to arrive on time so again this is 1562 01:13:42.360 --> 01:13:44.460 all happening in the past my 1563 01:13:44.460 --> 01:13:46.080 conversation is here 1564 01:13:46.080 --> 01:13:49.140 I was planning to arrive on time but 1565 01:13:49.140 --> 01:13:51.780 there was terrible traffic terrible 1566 01:13:51.780 --> 01:13:54.000 traffic means lots and lots of cars it 1567 01:13:54.000 --> 01:13:55.920 was difficult to drive or difficult to 1568 01:13:55.920 --> 01:14:00.360 get to work so I did not arrive on time 1569 01:14:00.360 --> 01:14:03.360 I would have arrived on time but I 1570 01:14:03.360 --> 01:14:05.939 didn't because of terrible traffic so 1571 01:14:05.939 --> 01:14:08.520 this shows us this would have shows us 1572 01:14:08.520 --> 01:14:11.640 all of this information everything here 1573 01:14:11.640 --> 01:14:14.580 happened in the past on like a timeline 1574 01:14:14.580 --> 01:14:17.820 so I thought I was going to arrive on 1575 01:14:17.820 --> 01:14:20.939 time something happened and I didn't 1576 01:14:20.939 --> 01:14:23.760 so we can use would have to show like 1577 01:14:23.760 --> 01:14:26.400 our thinking in this point would have in 1578 01:14:26.400 --> 01:14:29.820 the past about a future action that is 1579 01:14:29.820 --> 01:14:32.820 also in the past so a couple of past 1580 01:14:32.820 --> 01:14:36.479 points there at the same time okay so 1581 01:14:36.479 --> 01:14:39.300 let's compare this then to the negative 1582 01:14:39.300 --> 01:14:41.820 form the negative form then expresses 1583 01:14:41.820 --> 01:14:45.300 the opposite so we have a lack of plan 1584 01:14:45.300 --> 01:14:48.060 or a lack of a desire so lack of 1585 01:14:48.060 --> 01:14:51.360 something means no plan or no desire so 1586 01:14:51.360 --> 01:14:54.238 lack of plan for something that happened 1587 01:14:54.238 --> 01:14:57.600 in the past it did happen yes 1588 01:14:57.600 --> 01:15:01.738 so we commonly use both of these to talk 1589 01:15:01.738 --> 01:15:04.080 about other people's choices like when 1590 01:15:04.080 --> 01:15:06.600 we're giving advice this example 1591 01:15:06.600 --> 01:15:08.760 sentence is a very common way that we 1592 01:15:08.760 --> 01:15:11.520 use would not have or wouldn't have 1593 01:15:11.520 --> 01:15:14.760 let's look if I were you 1594 01:15:14.760 --> 01:15:18.238 I wouldn't have quit my job before I 1595 01:15:18.238 --> 01:15:22.320 found a new position so here is my would 1596 01:15:22.320 --> 01:15:24.300 not have I've reduced it to wouldn't 1597 01:15:24.300 --> 01:15:28.020 have I would not have quit my job before 1598 01:15:28.020 --> 01:15:30.600 I found a new position 1599 01:15:30.600 --> 01:15:34.140 so that means if I were you this is how 1600 01:15:34.140 --> 01:15:35.760 we're beginning this this is a very 1601 01:15:35.760 --> 01:15:38.580 common way that this would have or would 1602 01:15:38.580 --> 01:15:40.198 not have is used 1603 01:15:40.198 --> 01:15:43.920 so if I were you I'm not you but if I 1604 01:15:43.920 --> 01:15:46.640 were at this point in time in the past 1605 01:15:46.640 --> 01:15:48.840 my decision 1606 01:15:48.840 --> 01:15:52.520 would not have been to quit my job 1607 01:15:52.520 --> 01:15:56.520 however your decision was to quit your 1608 01:15:56.520 --> 01:16:00.120 job this did happen you quit your job in 1609 01:16:00.120 --> 01:16:03.840 my case I would not have done that so 1610 01:16:03.840 --> 01:16:06.420 here in opposite to the positive form 1611 01:16:06.420 --> 01:16:08.760 I'm talking about a point in the past 1612 01:16:08.760 --> 01:16:12.000 like if I were you just in general and 1613 01:16:12.000 --> 01:16:14.939 I'm talking about a future decision I 1614 01:16:14.939 --> 01:16:17.340 might make in this case the person 1615 01:16:17.340 --> 01:16:19.620 listening did choose to quit his or her 1616 01:16:19.620 --> 01:16:22.439 job I'm saying I would not have quit my 1617 01:16:22.439 --> 01:16:24.960 job that would not have been my decision 1618 01:16:24.960 --> 01:16:26.580 for the future 1619 01:16:26.580 --> 01:16:30.060 so again there's kind of this idea of 1620 01:16:30.060 --> 01:16:32.219 two points in the past like a kind of a 1621 01:16:32.219 --> 01:16:35.280 general I guess a starting point in the 1622 01:16:35.280 --> 01:16:38.219 past if I were you in this case and some 1623 01:16:38.219 --> 01:16:41.100 decision some plan some like desire or 1624 01:16:41.100 --> 01:16:43.439 lack of desire in this case in the 1625 01:16:43.439 --> 01:16:46.080 negative form so we use these like I 1626 01:16:46.080 --> 01:16:48.179 said to talk about like other people's 1627 01:16:48.179 --> 01:16:51.060 choices when we're giving advice like oh 1628 01:16:51.060 --> 01:16:54.540 if I were you I would have done this in 1629 01:16:54.540 --> 01:16:57.420 the past so we use would have to talk 1630 01:16:57.420 --> 01:17:01.198 about uh past decisions and maybe to 1631 01:17:01.198 --> 01:17:03.360 talk about things 1632 01:17:03.360 --> 01:17:05.880 um like if you if you were the speaker 1633 01:17:05.880 --> 01:17:08.939 like things you might change what would 1634 01:17:08.939 --> 01:17:11.820 you do differently so we use this to 1635 01:17:11.820 --> 01:17:14.280 talk about these sorts of past past 1636 01:17:14.280 --> 01:17:16.860 decisions and give advice and talk about 1637 01:17:16.860 --> 01:17:20.100 how we might make different decisions in 1638 01:17:20.100 --> 01:17:23.580 the future so this kind of expresses a 1639 01:17:23.580 --> 01:17:27.360 desire or lack of Desire this one should 1640 01:17:27.360 --> 01:17:30.600 have expresses regret in the past could 1641 01:17:30.600 --> 01:17:33.840 have expresses possibility so this is 1642 01:17:33.840 --> 01:17:36.000 just a quick introduction to the 1643 01:17:36.000 --> 01:17:37.679 differences between these three 1644 01:17:37.679 --> 01:17:40.198 expressions and their negative forms I 1645 01:17:40.198 --> 01:17:42.179 didn't write the not here so would not 1646 01:17:42.179 --> 01:17:45.420 have but if you have any other questions 1647 01:17:45.420 --> 01:17:47.460 about this please let us know in the 1648 01:17:47.460 --> 01:17:50.159 comments they are very similar I know 1649 01:17:50.159 --> 01:17:52.439 they sound very similar and it can be 1650 01:17:52.439 --> 01:17:55.260 hard to understand how to use them but 1651 01:17:55.260 --> 01:17:57.600 try to keep these three kind of themes 1652 01:17:57.600 --> 01:18:01.560 in mind possibility and regret and then 1653 01:18:01.560 --> 01:18:05.280 kind of Desire or advice here so I hope 1654 01:18:05.280 --> 01:18:06.840 that this helps you understand the 1655 01:18:06.840 --> 01:18:09.000 differences between these three if you 1656 01:18:09.000 --> 01:18:10.800 have questions or comments or if you 1657 01:18:10.800 --> 01:18:12.659 want to practice making an example 1658 01:18:12.659 --> 01:18:14.880 sentence please feel free to do so in 1659 01:18:14.880 --> 01:18:16.979 the comment section of this video of 1660 01:18:16.979

people will usually ask 1683 01:19:26.939 --> 01:19:29.219 this question and answer it in a 1684 01:19:29.219 --> 01:19:30.840 different way 1685 01:19:30.840 --> 01:19:33.479 first let's review 1686 01:19:33.479 --> 01:19:36.719 if someone says how are you you can say 1687 01:19:36.719 --> 01:19:38.640 I'm fine 1688 01:19:38.640 --> 01:19:40.560 I'm fine 1689 01:19:40.560 --> 01:19:43.620 here

01:19:49.560 --> 01:19:51.420 pretty good 1694 01:19:51.420 --> 01:19:54.659 we also have not bad 1695 01:19:54.659 --> 01:19:57.000 you can use this if you are feeling just 1696 01:19:57.000 --> 01:19:59.760 okay or so-so 1697 01:19:59.760 --> 01:20:02.880 not bad let's look at our question again 1698 01:20:02.880 --> 01:20:04.800 how are you 1699 01:20:04.800 --> 01:20:07.198 this is the most well-known way of 1700 01:20:07.198 --> 01:20:09.179 asking how someone is 1701 01:20:09.179 --> 01:20:11.100 you could use it when you want to be 1702 01:20:11.100 --> 01:20:12.120 polite 1703 01:20:12.120 --> 01:20:14.580 but now let's look at some different 1704 01:20:14.580 --> 01:20:17.580 ways to ask how someone is 1705 01:20:17.580 --> 01:20:20.820 these ways are more casual and much more 1706 01:20:20.820 --> 01:20:21.780 common 1707 01:20:21.780 --> 01:20:25.320 first hey how's it going 1708 01:20:25.320 --> 01:20:27.960 hey how's it going 1709 01:20:27.960 --> 01:20:31.080 you can answer this in many ways if 1710 01:20:31.080 --> 01:20:34.860 you're feeling good you can say good 1711 01:20:34.860 --> 01:20:36.300 good 1712 01:20:36.300 --> 01:20:38.219 pretty good 1713 01:20:38.219 --> 01:20:39.659 pretty good 1714 01:20:39.659 --> 01:20:41.460 not bad 1715 01:20:41.460 --> 01:20:43.260 not bad 1716 01:20:43.260 --> 01:20:45.960 once more good 1717 01:20:45.960 --> 01:20:50.760 pretty good not bad here's a tip even 1718 01:20:50.760 --> 01:20:53.340 though these answers mean the same thing 1719 01:20:53.340 --> 01:20:56.939 as I'm fine you can't answer how's it 1720 01:20:56.939 --> 01:21:00.360 going with I'm fine it will sound a bit 1721 01:21:00.360 --> 01:21:01.679 strange 1722 01:21:01.679 --> 01:21:04.738 if you're not feeling good you can say 1723 01:21:04.738 --> 01:21:06.900 not so good 1724 01:21:06.900 --> 01:21:08.939 not so good 1725 01:21:08.939 --> 01:21:10.738 not great 1726 01:21:10.738 --> 01:21:14.939 not great or not so well 1727 01:21:14.939 --> 01:21:16.979 not so well 1728 01:21:16.979 --> 01:21:20.760 be careful if you say one of these the 1729 01:21:20.760 --> 01:21:23.880 other person will usually ask why what's 1730 01:21:23.880 --> 01:21:27.600 wrong to be polite then you will have to 1731 01:21:27.600 --> 01:21:28.800 explain 1732 01:21:28.800 --> 01:21:31.738 another casual but very common version 1733 01:21:31.738 --> 01:21:35.100 of how are you is what's up 1734 01:21:35.100 --> 01:21:36.780 what's up 1735 01:21:36.780 --> 01:21:40.260 to reply use a cheerful voice as you say 1736 01:21:40.260 --> 01:21:44.719 not much not much or nothing much 1737 01:21:44.719 --> 01:21:46.860 nothing much 1738 01:21:46.860 --> 01:21:50.340 this means you are free and able to chat 1739 01:21:50.340 --> 01:21:53.698 since what's up is just another way of 1740 01:21:53.698 --> 01:21:57.300 saying hello you can also reply with hey 1741 01:21:57.300 --> 01:21:59.460 or hi 1742 01:21:59.460 --> 01:22:03.300 now it's time for Alicia's advice a lot 1743 01:22:03.300 --> 01:22:05.640 of the time when we ask questions that 1744 01:22:05.640 --> 01:22:08.580 mean how are you in English we're not 1745 01:22:08.580 --> 01:22:11.040 actually asking about the other person's 1746 01:22:11.040 --> 01:22:13.860 health we're only asking to be polite 1747 01:22:13.860 --> 01:22:16.679 you should think of these questions as 1748 01:22:16.679 --> 01:22:19.560 another way of saying hello a way for 1749 01:22:19.560 --> 01:22:22.140 the conversation to get started instead 1750 01:22:22.140 --> 01:22:26.219 of actual literal questions in fact when 1751 01:22:26.219 --> 01:22:29.100 someone asks you what's up you don't 1752 01:22:29.100 --> 01:22:31.920 even have to answer just say what's up 1753 01:22:31.920 --> 01:22:33.780 in reply 1754 01:22:33.780 --> 01:22:36.719 do you know the difference between what 1755 01:22:36.719 --> 01:22:39.900 do you do and what are you doing 1756 01:22:39.900 --> 01:22:42.479 it's a little tricky but we'll explain 1757 01:22:42.479 --> 01:22:45.360 it simply in the next English and three 1758 01:22:45.360 --> 01:22:47.570 minutes lesson see

01:24:37.020 the weekly series where you ask me 1797 01:24:37.020 --> 01:24:39.479 questions and I answer them maybe okay 1798 01:24:39.479 --> 01:24:41.340 let's get to your first question this 1799 01:24:41.340 --> 01:24:45.020 week first question this week comes from 1800 01:24:45.020 --> 01:24:48.659 says hi Alicia my question is when do we 1801 01:24:48.659 --> 01:24:51.420 use actually and when do we use really 1802 01:24:51.420 --> 01:24:54.060 I'm always confused about whether to use 1803 01:24:54.060 --> 01:24:56.280 really or actually in a sentence love 1804 01:24:56.280 --> 01:24:57.840 from Pakistan cool thanks for the 1805 01:24:57.840 --> 01:24:59.760 question sure yeah let's talk about 1806 01:24:59.760 --> 01:25:02.820 really and actually let's start with the 1807 01:25:02.820 --> 01:25:06.238 word really we use really to emphasize 1808 01:25:06.238 --> 01:25:08.400 something we tend to use it a lot for 1809 01:25:08.400 --> 01:25:10.560 example in front of adjectives when we 1810 01:25:10.560 --> 01:25:11.939 want to show that something is 1811 01:25:11.939 --> 01:25:15.120 especially or extra that adjective for 1812 01:25:15.120 --> 01:25:18.540 example this is really beautiful or that 1813 01:25:18.540 --> 01:25:20.880 dinner was really delicious you can 1814 01:25:20.880 --> 01:25:23.340 think of this use as similar to very 1815 01:25:23.340 --> 01:25:25.560 right so when we want to emphasize 1816 01:25:25.560 --> 01:25:27.540 something we say that it is really 1817 01:25:27.540 --> 01:25:31.140 something in contrast actually is used 1818 01:25:31.140 --> 01:25:33.360 to talk about things that are truly some 1819 01:25:33.360 --> 01:25:36.238 something else so I can understand why 1820 01:25:36.238 --> 01:25:38.400 really and actually might seem like they 1821 01:25:38.400 --> 01:25:41.040 have similar uses but we use actually 1822 01:25:41.040 --> 01:25:43.320 when we want to clarify something when 1823 01:25:43.320 --> 01:25:45.360 we want to express that something is 1824 01:25:45.360 --> 01:25:48.120 true or something real so we use this 1825 01:25:48.120 --> 01:25:50.280 when maybe someone has made a comment 1826 01:25:50.280 --> 01:25:52.979 that is not true or is not correct and 1827 01:25:52.979 --> 01:25:55.738 we want to correct their comment so for 1828 01:25:55.738 --> 01:25:57.479 example if someone says to you hey 1829 01:25:57.479 --> 01:26:00.000 didn't you pass your English exam last 1830 01:26:00.000 --> 01:26:01.920 week that was last week right you might 1831 01:26:01.920 --> 01:26:05.159 say actually my exam is next week so 1832 01:26:05.159 --> 01:26:08.040 that actually means truly or really or 1833 01:26:08.040 --> 01:26:10.080 it's like a kind of Correction to the 1834 01:26:10.080 --> 01:26:12.360 thing the other person said so we use 1835 01:26:12.360 --> 01:26:14.939 actually when we need to correct or 1836 01:26:14.939 --> 01:26:17.760 clarify something we use really when we 1837 01:26:17.760 --> 01:26:19.800 need to emphasize something here's 1838 01:26:19.800 --> 01:26:22.320 another example with actually let's look 1839 01:26:22.320 --> 01:26:24.960 at another example situation hey I 1840 01:26:24.960 --> 01:26:26.639 haven't received that file yet did you 1841 01:26:26.639 --> 01:26:29.520 send it to me oh actually I forgot I'm 1842 01:26:29.520 --> 01:26:32.280 so sorry about that so in that example 1843 01:26:32.280 --> 01:26:35.100 situation it might be someone clarifying 1844 01:26:35.100 --> 01:26:37.920 the situation for another person so they 1845 01:26:37.920 --> 01:26:40.260 use actually to express some kind of 1846 01:26:40.260 --> 01:26:43.260 true or real information so I hope that 1847 01:26:43.260 --> 01:26:44.520 this helps you understand the 1848 01:26:44.520 --> 01:26:46.939 differences between really and actually 1849 01:26:46.939 --> 01:26:49.560 emphasis and kind of clarification or 1850 01:26:49.560 --> 01:26:51.600 correction of information thanks very 1851 01:26:51.600 --> 01:26:53.340 much for the question okay let's get to 1852 01:26:53.340 --> 01:26:55.380 your next question next question comes 1853 01:26:55.380 --> 01:26:58.620 from Nabil hi Nabil Nabil says what is 1854 01:26:58.620 --> 01:27:02.698 the difference between or and nor thank 1855 01:27:02.698 --> 01:27:04.439 you yeah good question they seem really 1856 01:27:04.439 --> 01:27:06.540 similar right or and nor there's just 1857 01:27:06.540 --> 01:27:09.600 one letter different so we use or and 1858 01:27:09.600 --> 01:27:12.780 nor in positive and negative expressions 1859 01:27:12.780 --> 01:27:14.939 for example when you're choosing between 1860 01:27:14.939 --> 01:27:17.340 two things someone might offer you a 1861 01:27:17.340 --> 01:27:19.020 choice they might say would you like the 1862 01:27:19.020 --> 01:27:21.420 red shirt or the blue shirt for example 1863 01:27:21.420 --> 01:27:24.840 so we're using or to show an offer in 1864 01:27:24.840 --> 01:27:26.400 this case or we're using it in a 1865 01:27:26.400 --> 01:27:29.820 question pattern we use nor in negative 1866 01:27:29.820 --> 01:27:32.400 sentence patterns for example you might 1867 01:27:32.400 --> 01:27:35.460 respond to that as I would like neither 1868 01:27:35.460 --> 01:27:38.698 the red shirt nor the blue shirt so 1869 01:27:38.698 --> 01:27:40.860 you're showing that both of the options 1870 01:27:40.860 --> 01:27:42.960 are not what you want they're not what 1871 01:27:42.960 --> 01:27:45.719 you're looking for we use nor to express 1872 01:27:45.719 --> 01:27:48.360 that this tends to sound a little bit 1873 01:27:48.360 --> 01:27:50.580 more formal we don't use these kinds of 1874 01:27:50.580 --> 01:27:52.738 patterns so much in everyday speech now 1875 01:27:52.738 --> 01:27:54.420 but you might hear them from time to 1876 01:27:54.420 --> 01:27:56.639 time so the key here though is that 1877 01:27:56.639 --> 01:27:58.920 you're using it in a negative sentence 1878 01:27:58.920 --> 01:28:01.198 in this example I said I would like 1879 01:28:01.198 --> 01:28:04.260 neither the red shirt nor the blue shirt 1880 01:28:04.260 --> 01:28:06.360 so using or in this example sentence 1881 01:28:06.360 --> 01:28:08.400 would be incorrect I would like neither 1882 01:28:08.400 --> 01:28:10.500 the red shirt or the blue shirt would be 1883 01:28:10.500 --> 01:28:12.840 totally incorrect we have to match the 1884 01:28:12.840 --> 01:28:15.659 negative neither with nor in this 1885 01:28:15.659 --> 01:28:17.698 sentence pattern so if you want to 1886 01:28:17.698 --> 01:28:19.860 express that two choices or multiple 1887 01:28:19.860 --> 01:28:22.380 choices are all not acceptable for you 1888 01:28:22.380 --> 01:28:24.420 and you want to use this kind of pattern 1889 01:28:24.420 --> 01:28:26.219 you can totally do that but just 1890 01:28:26.219 --> 01:28:28.979 remember you can't interchange or and 1891 01:28:28.979 --> 01:28:32.340 nor so in some or is is used to present 1892 01:28:32.340 --> 01:28:34.679 different options like colors or maybe 1893 01:28:34.679 --> 01:28:38.159 sizes whatever it is and nor is used to 1894 01:28:38.159 --> 01:28:40.800 respond to those in a negative sentence 1895 01:28:40.800 --> 01:28:42.479 pattern so I hope that this helps you 1896 01:28:42.479 --> 01:28:44.400 understand the differences between or 1897 01:28:44.400 --> 01:28:46.439 and nor thanks very much for the 1898 01:28:46.439 --> 01:28:48.238 question okay let's go to your next 1899 01:28:48.238 --> 01:28:50.520 question next question comes from Sergey 1900 01:28:50.520 --> 01:28:53.219 hi Sergey Sergey says Hi teacher I hope 1901 01:28:53.219 --> 01:28:55.198 all is well I just watched your video 1902 01:28:55.198 --> 01:28:57.360 about the word shoot and it reminded me 1903 01:28:57.360 --> 01:29:00.179 of a song by Divine called shoot your 1904 01:29:00.179 --> 01:29:03.120 shot I thought the name of the song is 1905 01:29:03.120 --> 01:29:05.580 something like an English idiom and the 1906 01:29:05.580 --> 01:29:07.979 meaning is do what you consider you have 1907 01:29:07.979 --> 01:29:10.439 to do am I right is this expression used 1908 01:29:10.439 --> 01:29:13.080 nowadays yeah good question so shoot 1909 01:29:13.080 --> 01:29:15.360 your shot yes you're very close with 1910 01:29:15.360 --> 01:29:17.698 your example with do what you consider 1911 01:29:17.698 --> 01:29:20.340 you need to do the expression shoot your 1912 01:29:20.340 --> 01:29:21.900 shot it might be helpful to think of 1913 01:29:21.900 --> 01:29:24.540 this as a sports related expression you 1914 01:29:24.540 --> 01:29:26.698 can think of shoot your shot as meaning 1915 01:29:26.698 --> 01:29:29.219 try to do the thing that you think you 1916 01:29:29.219 --> 01:29:31.439 want to do so for example if if you 1917 01:29:31.439 --> 01:29:33.780 imagine a basketball player trying to 1918 01:29:33.780 --> 01:29:37.320 shoot his or her shot they try to make a 1919 01:29:37.320 --> 01:29:40.139 basket in this example situation so when 1920 01:29:40.139 --> 01:29:42.360 you say shoot your shot to someone it 1921 01:29:42.360 --> 01:29:44.520 means try to do the thing that you think 1922 01:29:44.520 --> 01:29:46.738 you want to do there are many different 1923 01:29:46.738 --> 01:29:48.900 situations where we use this expression 1924 01:29:48.900 --> 01:29:51.238 we tend to use it a lot in situations 1925 01:29:51.238 --> 01:29:53.520 that have kind of a challenging feel or 1926 01:29:53.520 --> 01:29:55.198 maybe that make us a little bit nervous 1927 01:29:55.198 --> 01:29:57.900 like for example asking someone out on a 1928 01:29:57.900 --> 01:29:59.880 date or talking to someone that you find 1929 01:29:59.880 --> 01:30:02.698 attractive in a social situation you 1930 01:30:02.698 --> 01:30:04.320 might try to encourage your friend and 1931 01:30:04.320 --> 01:30:07.139 say gone shoot your shot which means try 1932 01:30:07.139 --> 01:30:09.179 to talk to that person or try to get to 1933 01:30:09.179 --> 01:30:11.760 know that person so in those situations 1934 01:30:11.760 --> 01:30:13.800 it's always like try to do the thing 1935 01:30:13.800 --> 01:30:16.020 that you want to do or give it a go is 1936 01:30:16.020 --> 01:30:17.698 another way you might hear this 1937 01:30:17.698 --> 01:30:19.679 expressed so these are all kind of 1938 01:30:19.679 --> 01:30:22.020 encouraging Expressions that are like 1939 01:30:22.020 --> 01:30:23.639 saying try it if you think you need to 1940 01:30:23.639 --> 01:30:25.139 do it or you think you want to do it 1941 01:30:25.139 --> 01:30:27.479 give it a try so that's what this shoot 1942 01:30:27.479 --> 01:30:29.580 your shot expression means thanks very 1943 01:30:29.580 --> 01:30:31.020 much for the question I hope that it 1944 01:30:31.020 --> 01:30:33.420 helped you okay that is everything that 1945 01:30:33.420 --> 01:30:34.979 I have for this week thank you as always 1946 01:30:34.979 --> 01:30:37.020 for your great questions remember

1963 01:31:09.238 --> 01:31:11.460 that are difficult to say so they're 1964 01:31:11.460 --> 01:31:13.320 really good chances to practice your 1965 01:31:13.320 --> 01:31:16.340 pronunciation let's go Sally sold 1966 01:31:16.340 --> 01:31:19.979 seashells by the seashore Sally sold 1967 01:31:19.979 --> 01:31:22.439 seashells by the seashore this one's 1968 01:31:22.439 --> 01:31:25.198

bought some butter but 1974 01:31:38.280 --> 01:31:40.620 she said the Butter's bitter I've never 1975 01:31:40.620 --> 01:31:43.320 seen this before okay Betty botter 1976 01:31:43.320 --> 01:31:45.238 bought some butter but she said the 1977 01:31:45.238 --> 01:31:47.939 Butter's bitter that's a good one that's 1978 01:31:47.939 --> 01:31:49.380 a good one I feel like he could have 1979 01:31:49.380 --> 01:31:50.639 thrown the word like butt in there 1980 01:31:50.639 --> 01:31:52.500 somewhere too Betty bought her bought 1981 01:31:52.500 --> 01:31:53.760 some butter but she said the Butter's 1982 01:31:53.760 --> 01:31:55.979 bitter Ah that's a good one it's very 1983 01:31:55.979 --> 01:31:58.080 bubbly Betty bought her bought some 1984 01:31:58.080 --> 01:31:59.460 butter but she said the Butter's bitter 1985 01:31:59.460 --> 01:32:01.500 it's like if I if I knew the words I 1986 01:32:01.500 --> 01:32:03.000 could probably say it faster Betty 1987 01:32:03.000 --> 01:32:04.260 bought or bought some butter but she 1988 01:32:04.260 --> 01:32:05.159 said the Butter's bitter butter butter 1989 01:32:05.159 --> 01:32:08.340 is better better But she bought some 1990 01:32:08.340 --> 01:32:09.719 butter but she said the Butter's bitter 1991 01:32:09.719 --> 01:32:11.000 this is enough 1992 01:32:11.000 --> 01:32:14.760 I don't know when to stop how much wood 1993 01:32:14.760 --> 01:32:17.820 would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck 1994 01:32:17.820 --> 01:32:21.000 could chuck wood the next tug twister is 1995 01:32:21.000 --> 01:32:22.679 also a classic one about woodchucks 1996 01:32:22.679 --> 01:32:25.439 woodchucks are real creatures that exist 1997 01:32:25.439 --> 01:32:27.420 on the west coast of the United States 1998 01:32:27.420 --> 01:32:29.820 primarily in Washington Oregon uh 1999 01:32:29.820 --> 01:32:31.738 they're like beavers but they don't live 2000 01:32:31.738 --> 01:32:33.780 in rivers they live in like forests and 2001 01:32:33.780 --> 01:32:36.120 rocks the tongue twister is how much 2002 01:32:36.120 --> 01:32:37.500 wood would a woodchuck chuck if a 2003 01:32:37.500 --> 01:32:39.238 woodchuck could chuck wood how much wood 2004 01:32:39.238 --> 01:32:40.560 would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck 2005 01:32:40.560 --> 01:32:41.820 could chuck wood and then there's a 2006 01:32:41.820 --> 01:32:43.860 common response to that which is it 2007 01:32:43.860 --> 01:32:44.820 would chuck all the wood that a 2008 01:32:44.820 --> 01:32:46.020 woodchuck could if a woodchuck could 2009 01:32:46.020 --> 01:32:47.639 chuck wood we definitely talked about 2010 01:32:47.639 --> 01:32:49.860 this one in that English topics episode 2011 01:32:49.860 --> 01:32:52.380 we did about tongue twisters lesser

like 2071 01:35:05.040 --> 01:35:06.360 my desk and I just think of that's 2072 01:35:06.360 --> 01:35:07.679 probably what somebody does like they're 2073 01:35:07.679 --> 01:35:09.000 bored at their job and they just think 2074 01:35:09.000 --> 01:35:10.210 of these sorts of things 2075 01:35:10.210 --> 01:35:21.960 [Music] 2076 01:35:21.960 --> 01:35:24.120 hi everybody my name is Alicia welcome 2077 01:35:24.120 --> 01:35:26.400 back to top words today we're going to 2078 01:35:26.400 --> 01:35:29.280 talk about 10 ways to stop translating 2079 01:35:29.280 --> 01:35:33.780 in your head let's get started identify 2080 01:35:33.780 --> 01:35:36.719 objects around you in English the first 2081 01:35:36.719 --> 01:35:39.300 way to stop translating in your head is 2082 01:35:39.300 --> 01:35:42.420 to identify the objects around you in 2083 01:35:42.420 --> 01:35:44.040 your target language so if you're 2084 01:35:44.040 --> 01:35:46.260 studying English that means you look at 2085 01:35:46.260 --> 01:35:48.420 the objects around the room look at the 2086 01:35:48.420 --> 01:35:51.479 things in your life don't think of them 2087 01:35:51.479 --> 01:35:54.000 in your native language first think of 2088 01:35:54.000 --> 01:35:56.760 them in your target language first so if 2089 01:35:56.760 --> 01:35:58.439 I look around the room I see a computer 2090 01:35:58.439 --> 01:36:01.020 I shouldn't think my native language 2091 01:36:01.020 --> 01:36:03.120 word I should think my target language 2092 01:36:03.120 --> 01:36:05.760 word so start with the items and the 2093 01:36:05.760 --> 01:36:08.820 situations in your everyday life if I 2094 01:36:08.820 --> 01:36:10.800 say computer in English maybe I should 2095 01:36:10.800 --> 01:36:13.860 say computer in Japanese I should say 2096 01:36:13.860 --> 01:36:16.560 not I don't know water in English I 2097 01:36:16.560 --> 01:36:19.800 should say omizu in Japanese so start 2098 01:36:19.800 --> 01:36:22.320 associating the words in your your 2099 01:36:22.320 --> 01:36:24.900 target language with your everyday life 2100 01:36:24.900 --> 01:36:27.540 now so if you're studying English that 2101 01:36:27.540 --> 01:36:30.238 means start getting familiar with the 2102 01:36:30.238 --> 01:36:33.360 things in your everyday life in English 2103 01:36:33.360 --> 01:36:35.639 repeat phrases you hear native speakers 2104 01:36:35.639 --> 01:36:38.880 use tip number two is to repeat the 2105 01:36:38.880 --> 01:36:40.860 phrases that you hear native speakers 2106 01:36:40.860 --> 01:36:43.679 use so if you're watching this channel 2107 01:36:43.679 --> 01:36:47.219 for example or you're watching a TV show 2108 01:36:47.219 --> 01:36:50.760 or a movie listen for the way that 2109 01:36:50.760 --> 01:36:53.580 native speakers make those phrases if 2110 01:36:53.580 --> 01:36:55.500 you hear a phrase you have never heard 2111 01:36:55.500 --> 01:36:57.719 before or you hear an interesting 2112 01:36:57.719 --> 01:37:00.960 combination of words try to repeat them 2113 01:37:00.960 --> 01:37:04.198 yourself don't just listen try to say 2114 01:37:04.198 --> 01:37:06.120 them yourself if you're in a public 2115 01:37:06.120 --> 01:37:08.100 space and it's difficult for you to do 2116 01:37:08.100 --> 01:37:10.738 that fine practice in a place where you 2117 01:37:10.738 --> 01:37:12.780 feel more comfortable maybe if you have 2118 01:37:12.780 --> 01:37:15.060 some private space to practice just 2119 01:37:15.060 --> 01:37:17.159 repeat them get your mouth used to 2120 01:37:17.159 --> 01:37:19.080 saying the words the way that the 2121 01:37:19.080 --> 01:37:22.080 speakers the native speakers do so if 2122 01:37:22.080 --> 01:37:24.420 you never actually say words if you're 2123 01:37:24.420 --> 01:37:26.939 only taking in if you're only listening 2124 01:37:26.939 --> 01:37:29.100 and you're not actually producing the 2125 01:37:29.100 --> 01:37:31.920 language it's it's kind of hard to to 2126 01:37:31.920 --> 01:37:34.080 practice and to 2127 01:37:34.080 --> 01:37:36.360 um to really hone your pronunciation to 2128 01:37:36.360 --> 01:37:39.060 improve your pronunciation so when you 2129 01:37:39.060 --> 01:37:41.400 listen to native speakers try to repeat 2130 01:37:41.400 --> 01:37:43.920 after them so for example if you're 2131 01:37:43.920 --> 01:37:45.960 studying English you can try to repeat 2132 01:37:45.960 --> 01:37:48.360 after this video you can repeat after 2133 01:37:48.360 --> 01:37:51.060 the things I'm saying because maybe I'm 2134 01:37:51.060 --> 01:37:53.698 using an expression or I'm using a 2135 01:37:53.698 --> 01:37:56.400 certain series of vocabulary words 2136 01:37:56.400 --> 01:37:58.920 together the way a native speaker would 2137 01:37:58.920 --> 01:38:02.340 and it's maybe a good idea to try to 2138 01:38:02.340 --> 01:38:04.198 practice the ways that native speakers 2139 01:38:04.198 --> 01:38:06.360 put their words together so try to 2140 01:38:06.360 --> 01:38:09.360 repeat after native speakers especially 2141 01:38:09.360 --> 01:38:11.639 when you're looking at media and you can 2142 01:38:11.639 --> 01:38:13.139 do this when you're reading books too 2143 01:38:13.139 --> 01:38:15.960 you can try to read out read out loud 2144 01:38:15.960 --> 01:38:18.120 interesting lines of books that you find 2145 01:38:18.120 --> 01:38:19.560 or something that may be as difficult 2146 01:38:19.560 --> 01:38:22.560 for you very nice practice tip make a 2147 01:38:22.560 --> 01:38:24.659 situation where you can't escape into 2148 01:38:24.659 --> 01:38:27.120 your native language make a situation 2149 01:38:27.120 --> 01:38:28.979 where you can't escape into your native 2150 01:38:28.979 --> 01:38:31.620 language essentially means immerse 2151 01:38:31.620 --> 01:38:33.960 yourself of course going to the that 2152 01:38:33.960 --> 01:38:36.780 country are going to a place where you 2153 01:38:36.780 --> 01:38:39.238 can speak only that language is very 2154 01:38:39.238 --> 01:38:41.040 difficult for some of you totally 2155 01:38:41.040 --> 01:38:44.400 understand but if in your life you can 2156 01:38:44.400 --> 01:38:47.040 create a situation in your library in 2157 01:38:47.040 --> 01:38:50.040 your room in your house somewhere for 2158 01:38:50.040 --> 01:38:52.439 just an hour or I don't know maybe a day 2159 01:38:52.439 --> 01:38:53.939 I don't know what your schedule is like 2160 01:38:53.939 --> 01:38:56.639 but if you can create a situation or 2161 01:38:56.639 --> 01:38:59.280 create an environment where you have no 2162 01:38:59.280 --> 01:39:02.820 choice but to use that language and you 2163 01:39:02.820 --> 01:39:06.238 cannot Escape meaning you cannot go back 2164 01:39:06.238 --> 01:39:08.760 to using your native language as a 2165 01:39:08.760 --> 01:39:10.620 crutch you can't use the native language 2166 01:39:10.620 --> 01:39:14.280 at all it forces you to use the language 2167 01:39:14.280 --> 01:39:16.860 that you're studying so of course if you 2168 01:39:16.860 --> 01:39:18.840 are lucky enough to live in the country 2169 01:39:18.840 --> 01:39:21.659 or to live in a place where people speak 2170 01:39:21.659 --> 01:39:23.820 the language you're studying great but 2171 01:39:23.820 --> 01:39:26.040 you have to go out and interact with 2172 01:39:26.040 --> 01:39:28.139 people you have to put yourself in a 2173 01:39:28.139 --> 01:39:30.659 place where you have no choice but to 2174 01:39:30.659 --> 01:39:32.580 speak it's very hard and it's very scary 2175 01:39:32.580 --> 01:39:35.219 and it's very embarrassing at first but 2176 01:39:35.219 --> 01:39:37.979 if you take time to find places and to 2177 01:39:37.979 --> 01:39:39.780 make environments that are comfortable 2178 01:39:39.780 --> 01:39:41.639 for you where you feel comfortable 2179 01:39:41.639 --> 01:39:43.860 making mistakes and asking questions 2180 01:39:43.860 --> 01:39:46.198 it's very valuable for your learning 2181 01:39:46.198 --> 01:39:47.880 process this is actually something that 2182 01:39:47.880 --> 01:39:50.219 I did totally I totally did this my 2183 01:39:50.219 --> 01:39:53.040 Japanese wasn't very good for a long 2184 01:39:53.040 --> 01:39:55.260 time but then I started making friends 2185 01:39:55.260 --> 01:39:58.620 who could not speak English actually I 2186 01:39:58.620 --> 01:40:00.238 just did this through finding Hobbies 2187 01:40:00.238 --> 01:40:03.000 there was a hobby that I had I joined a 2188 01:40:03.000 --> 01:40:04.800 group I joined actually a school to 2189 01:40:04.800 --> 01:40:06.719 where I could learn how to do that Hobby 2190 01:40:06.719 --> 01:40:09.479 and everything was taught only in 2191 01:40:09.479 --> 01:40:12.238 Japanese and the people in my class only 2192 01:40:12.238 --> 01:40:14.639 spoke Japanese mostly and then maybe we 2193 01:40:14.639 --> 01:40:17.219 would go out for drinks and food late at 2194 01:40:17.219 --> 01:40:18.780 night or on the weekends and everybody 2195 01:40:18.780 --> 01:40:21.840 spoke only Japanese and if I couldn't 2196 01:40:21.840 --> 01:40:24.900 communicate even simply in Japanese I 2197 01:40:24.900 --> 01:40:26.820 had no hope of keeping that friendship 2198 01:40:26.820 --> 01:40:29.340 together so it forced me to study it 2199 01:40:29.340 --> 01:40:31.260 forced me to think about the words they 2200 01:40:31.260 --> 01:40:34.139 were using and to try to learn those 2201 01:40:34.139 --> 01:40:36.479 words those patterns as well as how to 2202 01:40:36.479 --> 01:40:38.639 produce them naturally myself so I was 2203 01:40:38.639 --> 01:40:40.800 learning the vocabulary words the people 2204 01:40:40.800 --> 01:40:43.500 around me were using and learning how to 2205 01:40:43.500 --> 01:40:45.540 apply them on my own that was only 2206 01:40:45.540 --> 01:40:48.060 possible because I had no Escape in 2207 01:40:48.060 --> 01:40:51.238 those situations so try to do that even 2208 01:40:51.238 --> 01:40:52.920 if you can do it yourself in your house 2209 01:40:52.920 --> 01:40:55.080 it's super helpful I think 2210 01:40:55.080 --> 01:40:57.179 I think watch TV and movies in your 2211 01:40:57.179 --> 01:40:59.639 target language without subtitles 2212 01:40:59.639 --> 01:41:02.219 tip number four is to watch TV and 2213 01:41:02.219 --> 01:41:04.738 movies in your target language without 2214 01:41:04.738 --> 01:41:07.860 subtitles without subtitles so I think 2215 01:41:07.860 --> 01:41:11.219 that watching uh with subtitles can be 2216 01:41:11.219 --> 01:41:12.620 very beneficial 2217 01:41:12.620 --> 01:41:16.080 so if I'm watching something or if you 2218 01:41:16.080 --> 01:41:17.820 want to watch something with subtitles 2219 01:41:17.820 --> 01:41:21.300 on great but I sometimes find that I can 2220 01:41:21.300 --> 01:41:23.760 in my case I I think too much about 2221 01:41:23.760 --> 01:41:26.280 reading the subtitles and I forget to 2222 01:41:26.280 --> 01:41:29.040 listen so maybe if you've seen a movie 2223 01:41:29.040 --> 01:41:32.698 in your target language a few times with 2224 01:41:32.698 --> 01:41:35.280 the subtitles on try turning the 2225 01:41:35.280 --> 01:41:38.460 subtitles off and think about the like 2226 01:41:38.460 --> 01:41:40.139 character's body language the words 2227 01:41:40.139 --> 01:41:42.719 they're using you can always look that 2228 01:41:42.719 --> 01:41:44.698 up later look up the you know the words 2229 01:41:44.698 --> 01:41:46.920 you don't know in a dictionary but try 2230 01:41:46.920 --> 01:41:48.900 to do it where you're focusing 2231 01:41:48.900 --> 01:41:51.900 completely on the way that people are 2232 01:41:51.900 --> 01:41:54.300 using their words try not to use the 2233 01:41:54.300 --> 01:41:57.179 subtitles so kind of play around with it 2234 01:41:57.179 --> 01:41:58.619 a little bit if there's a word that's 2235 01:41:58.619 --> 01:42:00.600 difficult for you to here you can 2236 01:42:00.600 --> 01:42:03.119 actually turn on the subtitles in like 2237 01:42:03.119 --> 01:42:05.698 the in the native language of the movie 2238 01:42:05.698 --> 01:42:07.800 as well that's something that I've done 2239 01:42:07.800 --> 01:42:10.198 like if uh like if I wanted to study 2240 01:42:10.198 --> 01:42:12.420 Japanese it's very useful when the 2241 01:42:12.420 --> 01:42:15.540 actual words spoken in Japanese appear 2242 01:42:15.540 --> 01:42:17.880 on the screen sometimes it's easier for 2243 01:42:17.880 --> 01:42:21.179 me to catch a word if I see it visually 2244 01:42:21.179 --> 01:42:23.939 and I hear it at the same time so 2245 01:42:23.939 --> 01:42:27.479 another way to kind of explore how you 2246 01:42:27.479 --> 01:42:30.119 can use TV and movies is to actually 2247 01:42:30.119 --> 01:42:33.420 turn on the closed captions like the the 2248 01:42:33.420 --> 01:42:35.880 um the words on the screen in the native 2249 01:42:35.880 --> 01:42:38.760 language of the movie so uh so this is 2250 01:42:38.760 --> 01:42:40.860 sort of two points in one so one watch 2251 01:42:40.860 --> 01:42:42.719 movies without subtitles meaning 2252 01:42:42.719 --> 01:42:45.238 subtitles in your native language in 2253 01:42:45.238 --> 01:42:48.479 hint too is to watch movies with closed 2254 01:42:48.479 --> 01:42:50.639 captioning on but the closed captioning 2255 01:42:50.639 --> 01:42:52.979 is in your target language not in your 2256 01:42:52.979 --> 01:42:54.900 native language so you can try those two 2257 01:42:54.900 --> 01:42:57.900 things with TV and with movies 2258 01:42:57.900 --> 01:43:00.719 don't bring a dictionary to your lesson 2259 01:43:00.719 --> 01:43:02.820 tip number five is don't bring a 2260 01:43:02.820 --> 01:43:06.060 dictionary to your lesson okay so give 2261 01:43:06.060 --> 01:43:08.100 me a second here so I understand the 2262 01:43:08.100 --> 01:43:10.260 dictionaries especially electronic 2263 01:43:10.260 --> 01:43:12.119 dictionaries we have them on our phones 2264 01:43:12.119 --> 01:43:14.639 now are very very convenient 2265 01:43:14.639 --> 01:43:16.320 um of course it's important to use them 2266 01:43:16.320 --> 01:43:18.179 and it's they're a great resource to 2267 01:43:18.179 --> 01:43:21.119 have however one thing that really 2268 01:43:21.119 --> 01:43:25.080 bothers me and that I think is 2269 01:43:25.080 --> 01:43:27.300 detrimental it's not helpful for 2270 01:43:27.300 --> 01:43:30.238 students is when students are in a 2271 01:43:30.238 --> 01:43:31.560 lesson and they're practicing 2272 01:43:31.560 --> 01:43:34.560 conversation and they reach a point in 2273 01:43:34.560 --> 01:43:36.600 the conversation where they don't know 2274 01:43:36.600 --> 01:43:38.520 the word they want to use they know it 2275 01:43:38.520 --> 01:43:40.500 in their native language and they don't 2276 01:43:40.500 --> 01:43:42.238 know how to say it in their target 2277 01:43:42.238 --> 01:43:44.400 language they pull out their dictionary 2278 01:43:44.400 --> 01:43:47.040 they say to this the person listening to 2279 01:43:47.040 --> 01:43:49.080 them their practice partner in their 2280 01:43:49.080 --> 01:43:51.000 lesson where they have a limited period 2281 01:43:51.000 --> 01:43:53.820 of time just a moment and then they look 2282 01:43:53.820 --> 01:43:56.280 it up on their phone and it takes a few 2283 01:43:56.280 --> 01:43:58.560 seconds the flow of the conversation 2284 01:43:58.560 --> 01:44:02.100 stops and then they say a word and I was 2285 01:44:02.100 --> 01:44:05.580 like whoa no that's not you don't have 2286 01:44:05.580 --> 01:44:08.159 that ability you don't have the ability 2287 01:44:08.159 --> 01:44:10.439 to do that in a conversation with a 2288 01:44:10.439 --> 01:44:12.840 native speaker most people like if you 2289 01:44:12.840 --> 01:44:14.520 go to a bank and try to open a bank 2290 01:44:14.520 --> 01:44:16.139 account are you really going to pull out 2291 01:44:16.139 --> 01:44:19.040 your dictionary and sit there and try to 2292 01:44:19.040 --> 01:44:21.300 communicate you know just a moment just 2293 01:44:21.300 --> 01:44:23.820 a moment as you look up each word you 2294 01:44:23.820 --> 01:44:26.460 don't know no or if you do that's not a 2295 01:44:26.460 --> 01:44:30.420 real conversation so instead try using a 2296 01:44:30.420 --> 01:44:32.939 different strategy by that I mean if you 2297 01:44:32.939 --> 01:44:34.800 find a word you don't know in 2298 01:44:34.800 --> 01:44:37.860 conversation explain the word to your 2299 01:44:37.860 --> 01:44:40.260 conversation partner maybe they know the 2300 01:44:40.260 --> 01:44:41.760 word if you're speaking with a native 2301 01:44:41.760 --> 01:44:43.619 speaker this is a chance for them to 2302 01:44:43.619 --> 01:44:46.139 teach you a word I find that when people 2303 01:44:46.139 --> 01:44:49.020 take the time to teach me a word I 2304 01:44:49.020 --> 01:44:51.360 remember the word much better than just 2305 01:44:51.360 --> 01:44:54.060 looking it up on my dictionary so try to 2306 01:44:54.060 --> 01:44:55.920 resist maybe you can bring a dictionary 2307 01:44:55.920 --> 01:44:58.260 to your lesson but don't use it or try 2308 01:44:58.260 --> 01:45:00.540 not to use it in your conversation 2309 01:45:00.540 --> 01:45:03.000 practice this it's just it destroys the 2310 01:45:03.000 --> 01:45:05.219 flow of a conversation so instead 2311 01:45:05.219 --> 01:45:07.860 practice the skill of describing the 2312 01:45:07.860 --> 01:45:10.439 vocabulary word you want to use and 2313 01:45:10.439 --> 01:45:13.080 learn how to ask the meaning of a word 2314 01:45:13.080 --> 01:45:15.780 or learn how to ask for a vocabulary 2315 01:45:15.780 --> 01:45:18.300 word from your partner so you can use an 2316 01:45:18.300 --> 01:45:20.280 expression like ah what's the word that 2317 01:45:20.280 --> 01:45:22.619 means blah blah or 2318 01:45:22.619 --> 01:45:24.420 um you know it's this thing that does 2319 01:45:24.420 --> 01:45:26.340 this and this and this so this is an 2320 01:45:26.340 --> 01:45:28.198 opportunity for you to describe 2321 01:45:28.198 --> 01:45:30.900 characteristics of something or find a 2322 01:45:30.900 --> 01:45:32.880 different way you can use your body 2323 01:45:32.880 --> 01:45:35.698 language you can use whatever you have a 2324 01:45:35.698 --> 01:45:38.280 lot of tools but try not to use a 2325 01:45:38.280 --> 01:45:39.900 dictionary in a conversation because 2326 01:45:39.900 --> 01:45:41.939 it's not realistic 2327 01:45:41.939 --> 01:45:45.060 trained responses to common questions 2328 01:45:45.060 --> 01:45:47.280 number six is a quick one I think number 2329 01:45:47.280 --> 01:45:49.679 six hint number six I have is just to 2330 01:45:49.679 --> 01:45:51.840 train responses to common questions 2331 01:45:51.840 --> 01:45:54.479 train responses to common questions so 2332 01:45:54.479 --> 01:45:57.000 for example a very common question in 2333 01:45:57.000 --> 01:45:59.340 English is hey how are you you should 2334 01:45:59.340 --> 01:46:01.439 know how to answer this question just 2335 01:46:01.439 --> 01:46:03.900 have a default response hey how are you 2336 01:46:03.900 --> 01:46:07.860 I'm good like if it takes you a long 2337 01:46:07.860 --> 01:46:10.500 time to answer the question hey how are 2338 01:46:10.500 --> 01:46:11.219 you 2339 01:46:11.219 --> 01:46:13.800 you need to practice I think that's a 2340 01:46:13.800 --> 01:46:16.320 pretty good uh a pretty good indicator 2341 01:46:16.320 --> 01:46:19.020 so for example sometimes I ask students 2342 01:46:19.020 --> 01:46:21.420 a question like that they they haven't 2343 01:46:21.420 --> 01:46:24.840 quite gotten the idea of how to respond 2344 01:46:24.840 --> 01:46:27.479 just yet they they're not so quick at 2345 01:46:27.479 --> 01:46:29.880 responding I say uh hey how are you and 2346 01:46:29.880 --> 01:46:31.020 they say yes 2347 01:46:31.020 --> 01:46:34.320 and then they think and they go I'm uh 2348 01:46:34.320 --> 01:46:37.320 I'm a good and it's like that's a very 2349 01:46:37.320 --> 01:46:40.198 common question so think about just a 2350 01:46:40.198 --> 01:46:42.179 default response that you can spit out 2351 01:46:42.179 --> 01:46:44.460 that you can quickly say if it's how was 2352 01:46:44.460 --> 01:46:47.219 your weekend or hey what's up or what do 2353 01:46:47.219 --> 01:46:49.080 you want to do for dinner tonight think 2354 01:46:49.080 --> 01:46:52.439 about like just a handful meaning just a 2355 01:46:52.439 --> 01:46:55.260 few responses to those questions and 2356 01:46:55.260 --> 01:46:57.840 train them quickly just how are you I'm 2357 01:46:57.840 --> 01:47:00.000 good how are you I'm okay how are you 2358 01:47:00.000 --> 01:47:03.600 not bad there's three so it's just 2359 01:47:03.600 --> 01:47:06.000 training responses to those questions 2360 01:47:06.000 --> 01:47:09.238 there's no reason to be surprised by a 2361 01:47:09.238 --> 01:47:11.639 question like how are you like that's a 2362 01:47:11.639 --> 01:47:13.860 very common question so for those common 2363 01:47:13.860 --> 01:47:16.619 questions train responses to that we've 2364 01:47:16.619 --> 01:47:18.659 got a bunch of videos especially 2365 01:47:18.659 --> 01:47:20.939 beginner level videos for some example 2366 01:47:20.939 --> 01:47:24.000 responses you can do so don't get 2367 01:47:24.000 --> 01:47:26.219 stuck with these little questions just 2368 01:47:26.219 --> 01:47:28.260 train a few responses practice a few 2369 01:47:28.260 --> 01:47:30.238 responses till they feel natural to you 2370 01:47:30.238 --> 01:47:32.340 it'll save you time and it'll help the 2371 01:47:32.340 --> 01:47:34.380 person asking the question to to move 2372 01:47:34.380 --> 01:47:37.260 forward in the conversation yay 2373 01:47:37.260 --> 01:47:39.600 study with materials that don't provide 2374 01:47:39.600 --> 01:47:41.280 a translation 2375 01:47:41.280 --> 01:47:44.219 the next tip is to study with materials 2376 01:47:44.219 --> 01:47:47.159 that don't provide a translation so by 2377 01:47:47.159 --> 01:47:49.560 this I mean if you're using worksheets 2378 01:47:49.560 --> 01:47:52.679 and or some kind of textbook or whatever 2379 01:47:52.679 --> 01:47:56.159 and it has your target language the 2380 01:47:56.159 --> 01:47:58.439 language you're studying and it has your 2381 01:47:58.439 --> 01:48:00.840 native language next to it while this 2382 01:48:00.840 --> 01:48:04.260 can be useful I feel that if you can 2383 01:48:04.260 --> 01:48:07.500 studying your materials only in your 2384 01:48:07.500 --> 01:48:09.719 target language and then simplified 2385 01:48:09.719 --> 01:48:12.659 explanations for more detailed points 2386 01:48:12.659 --> 01:48:15.420 also in your target language can be a 2387 01:48:15.420 --> 01:48:18.238 little bit better so I don't want to say 2388 01:48:18.238 --> 01:48:20.159 like you should only study things in 2389 01:48:20.159 --> 01:48:22.020 your target language and nothing from 2390 01:48:22.020 --> 01:48:23.639 your native language because of course 2391 01:48:23.639 --> 01:48:26.159 like it's it can be helpful sometimes to 2392 01:48:26.159 --> 01:48:27.960 look up a word or to understand a 2393 01:48:27.960 --> 01:48:29.400 grammar point in your native language 2394 01:48:29.400 --> 01:48:32.820 but where possible if you can find 2395 01:48:32.820 --> 01:48:34.698 something that provides simplified 2396 01:48:34.698 --> 01:48:37.619 explanations in your target language it 2397 01:48:37.619 --> 01:48:39.300 can be really really helpful because 2398 01:48:39.300 --> 01:48:41.219 again you're thinking you're learning to 2399 01:48:41.219 --> 01:48:44.100 think on like a simpler on a more basic 2400 01:48:44.100 --> 01:48:46.560 level about the language you're studying 2401 01:48:46.560 --> 01:48:49.020 in the language that you're studying so 2402 01:48:49.020 --> 01:48:50.698 this can be really really good so 2403 01:48:50.698 --> 01:48:53.100 finding some materials to use where 2404 01:48:53.100 --> 01:48:55.619 there's no translation maybe you can 2405 01:48:55.619 --> 01:48:56.880 practice 2406 01:48:56.880 --> 01:48:58.738 um of course with with books and with 2407 01:48:58.738 --> 01:49:01.139 written materials but also with like 2408 01:49:01.139 --> 01:49:04.020 video materials as well so there are a 2409 01:49:04.020 --> 01:49:07.320 variety of different ways that you can 2410 01:49:07.320 --> 01:49:07.920 um 2411 01:49:07.920 --> 01:49:10.880 find materials in your target language 2412 01:49:10.880 --> 01:49:14.159 like in video and TV so some things to 2413 01:49:14.159 --> 01:49:15.960 think about there are the level of 2414 01:49:15.960 --> 01:49:18.420 vocabulary words people are using in the 2415 01:49:18.420 --> 01:49:20.939 media content you're watching who the 2416 01:49:20.939 --> 01:49:23.219 media content is intended for children 2417 01:49:23.219 --> 01:49:26.280 young adults adults the speed at which 2418 01:49:26.280 --> 01:49:28.139 the speaker is talking so like I have 2419 01:49:28.139 --> 01:49:30.300 the ability to change the level of 2420 01:49:30.300 --> 01:49:33.900 difficulty of videos based on the rate 2421 01:49:33.900 --> 01:49:36.119 of speech the vocabulary words that I 2422 01:49:36.119 --> 01:49:38.100 use and how many like idioms and things 2423 01:49:38.100 --> 01:49:40.080 I use so I could make a video very 2424 01:49:40.080 --> 01:49:41.698 difficult we could make a very like a 2425 01:49:41.698 --> 01:49:44.880 very difficult video series by leveling 2426 01:49:44.880 --> 01:49:47.340 up our vocabulary user by speaking very 2427 01:49:47.340 --> 01:49:50.340 quickly or as you might see in like our 2428 01:49:50.340 --> 01:49:53.159 English in three minutes series we can 2429 01:49:53.159 --> 01:49:55.920 also use very simple vocabulary and 2430 01:49:55.920 --> 01:49:58.020 speak at a low rate of speech so maybe 2431 01:49:58.020 --> 01:50:00.119 right now this is a very intermediate 2432 01:50:00.119 --> 01:50:02.580 level video so please think about that 2433 01:50:02.580 --> 01:50:05.639 so not just for written materials but 2434 01:50:05.639 --> 01:50:07.860 also for your audio and visual materials 2435 01:50:07.860 --> 01:50:10.860 think about who your audience is the 2436 01:50:10.860 --> 01:50:13.260 level of the material and so on it can 2437 01:50:13.260 --> 01:50:15.900 be really fun and it can be helpful to 2438 01:50:15.900 --> 01:50:18.659 think about your your target language in 2439 01:50:18.659 --> 01:50:20.100 your target language all right we're 2440 01:50:20.100 --> 01:50:21.659 almost done 2441 01:50:21.659 --> 01:50:23.939 study phrases in addition to single 2442 01:50:23.939 --> 01:50:25.260 vocabulary 2443 01:50:25.260 --> 01:50:28.139 the next tip is study phrases in 2444 01:50:28.139 --> 01:50:30.719 addition to single vocabulary words so 2445 01:50:30.719 --> 01:50:33.119 yes of course vocabulary is important 2446 01:50:33.119 --> 01:50:36.540 but I find it personally very very 2447 01:50:36.540 --> 01:50:40.080 useful to look at how a vocabulary word 2448 01:50:40.080 --> 01:50:43.800 is used in a phrase because sometimes 2449 01:50:43.800 --> 01:50:46.619 using it in a phrase helps you 2450 01:50:46.619 --> 01:50:49.260 understand the Nuance of that vocabulary 2451 01:50:49.260 --> 01:50:52.619 word really really well so if I like a 2452 01:50:52.619 --> 01:50:54.560 word like crazy for example in English 2453 01:50:54.560 --> 01:50:57.119 depending on the situation where the 2454 01:50:57.119 --> 01:50:59.280 word crazy is used it could mean 2455 01:50:59.280 --> 01:51:01.679 something different it could mean like a 2456 01:51:01.679 --> 01:51:04.380 person who is mentally confused or mixed 2457 01:51:04.380 --> 01:51:06.000 up it could also mean something really 2458 01:51:06.000 --> 01:51:08.580 good it can mean something really bad so 2459 01:51:08.580 --> 01:51:11.400 if we look only at the word crazy it's 2460 01:51:11.400 --> 01:51:14.040 quite difficult to understand really the 2461 01:51:14.040 --> 01:51:16.380 meaning of the word but if you look at 2462 01:51:16.380 --> 01:51:19.080 the way the word is used in a phrase you 2463 01:51:19.080 --> 01:51:21.540 can get a lot more information so take a 2464 01:51:21.540 --> 01:51:23.580 look at the way people use words in 2465 01:51:23.580 --> 01:51:26.520 phrases not just as single vocabulary 2466 01:51:26.520 --> 01:51:28.560 words you can learn a lot more that way 2467 01:51:28.560 --> 01:51:29.939 I think 2468 01:51:29.939 --> 01:51:31.979 do your daily activities in English 2469 01:51:31.979 --> 01:51:33.540 where possible 2470 01:51:33.540 --> 01:51:35.520 the next tip is to do your daily 2471 01:51:35.520 --> 01:51:38.340 activities in your target language so if 2472 01:51:38.340 --> 01:51:39.960 you're studying English that means try 2473 01:51:39.960 --> 01:51:42.119 to do some daily activities in English 2474 01:51:42.119 --> 01:51:44.698 if possible so this can be very very 2475 01:51:44.698 --> 01:51:46.860 boring stuff but just think about it 2476 01:51:46.860 --> 01:51:49.020 when you're doing the activity so like 2477 01:51:49.020 --> 01:51:51.320 right now I'm filming a video for 2478 01:51:51.320 --> 01:51:54.420 englishclass101.com or I'm going to work 2479 01:51:54.420 --> 01:51:56.580 I'm cooking breakfast I'm doing the 2480 01:51:56.580 --> 01:51:58.979 laundry what do I have to do tomorrow so 2481 01:51:58.979 --> 01:52:02.400 try thinking about your everyday life in 2482 01:52:02.400 --> 01:52:04.738 English if you're studying English try 2483 01:52:04.738 --> 01:52:06.780 thinking about your everyday activities 2484 01:52:06.780 --> 01:52:09.000 the people that you meet what are you 2485 01:52:09.000 --> 01:52:10.979 doing so this is a way to help you 2486 01:52:10.979 --> 01:52:13.080 practice your verbs so if you don't know 2487 01:52:13.080 --> 01:52:14.820 if you're I don't know you're doing 2488 01:52:14.820 --> 01:52:16.439 something at work and you're like oh my 2489 01:52:16.439 --> 01:52:18.420 gosh how do I explain the what's the 2490 01:52:18.420 --> 01:52:21.600 verb for you know a picture like I want 2491 01:52:21.600 --> 01:52:23.520 to blah blah blah a picture what's the 2492 01:52:23.520 --> 01:52:25.920 word you can check a dictionary at that 2493 01:52:25.920 --> 01:52:28.439 point and go ah it's draw I need to use 2494 01:52:28.439 --> 01:52:31.500 the verb draw for draw a picture so you 2495 01:52:31.500 --> 01:52:33.479 can find these little gaps in your 2496 01:52:33.479 --> 01:52:35.820 everyday life these little gaps in your 2497 01:52:35.820 --> 01:52:38.520 knowledge if you think about your 2498 01:52:38.520 --> 01:52:40.260 everyday activities in your target 2499 01:52:40.260 --> 01:52:42.000 language if you don't think about it in 2500 01:52:42.000 --> 01:52:43.679 your target language you might not 2501 01:52:43.679 --> 01:52:45.960 realize you have vocabulary gaps or 2502 01:52:45.960 --> 01:52:47.939 phrase gaps here and there so this is a 2503 01:52:47.939 --> 01:52:49.679 really good and kind of funny actually 2504 01:52:49.679 --> 01:52:51.540 way to study 2505 01:52:51.540 --> 01:52:53.900 use a Learner's Dictionary for new words 2506 01:52:53.900 --> 01:52:57.179 the last tip is to use a Learner's 2507 01:52:57.179 --> 01:52:59.400 Dictionary for new words so in English 2508 01:52:59.400 --> 01:53:01.260 there are Learners dictionaries 2509 01:53:01.260 --> 01:53:03.840 available in English so my favorite my 2510 01:53:03.840 --> 01:53:05.540 personal favorite is Merriam-Webster 2511 01:53:05.540 --> 01:53:08.040 Merriam-Webster is a fantastic 2512 01:53:08.040 --> 01:53:10.080 dictionary resource they're so 2513 01:53:10.080 --> 01:53:12.238 interesting and they have tons of like 2514 01:53:12.238 --> 01:53:15.119 historical information I really do just 2515 01:53:15.119 --> 01:53:17.280 sit and like read things on the 2516 01:53:17.280 --> 01:53:21.300 dictionary page lately it's true but 2517 01:53:21.300 --> 01:53:22.738 um of course there's a definition 2518 01:53:22.738 --> 01:53:24.659 there's a meaning for Words there are 2519 01:53:24.659 --> 01:53:26.600 example sentences for words but 2520 01:53:26.600 --> 01:53:29.340 Merriam-Webster also has what's called a 2521 01:53:29.340 --> 01:53:31.439 Learner's Dictionary if you find a word 2522 01:53:31.439 --> 01:53:33.300 that you don't recognize you can check 2523 01:53:33.300 --> 01:53:35.820 it in a dictionary in a Learner's 2524 01:53:35.820 --> 01:53:38.460 Dictionary and it gives you a simplified 2525 01:53:38.460 --> 01:53:41.340 a simple explanation in simple English 2526 01:53:41.340 --> 01:53:44.698 of that word so instead of checking it 2527 01:53:44.698 --> 01:53:46.679 in your native language you can check it 2528 01:53:46.679 --> 01:53:49.080 in your target language so again this 2529 01:53:49.080 --> 01:53:52.198 helps you to understand the word 2530 01:53:52.198 --> 01:53:54.179 um that you are that you're focused on 2531 01:53:54.179 --> 01:53:57.119 but you understand it from 2532 01:53:57.119 --> 01:53:58.860 um the language you're studying not from 2533 01:53:58.860 --> 01:54:00.540 your native language so using a 2534 01:54:00.540 --> 01:54:02.100 Learner's Dictionary can be really 2535 01:54:02.100 --> 01:54:05.219 really useful as well all right so those 2536 01:54:05.219 --> 01:54:07.860 are 10 tips those are 10 tips to help 2537 01:54:07.860 --> 01:54:10.260 you stop translating in your head I know 2538 01:54:10.260 --> 01:54:12.659 it's very difficult but it's it takes 2539 01:54:12.659 --> 01:54:14.520 time and it takes practice and I hope 2540 01:54:14.520 --> 01:54:16.679 that these are a few strategies that can 2541 01:54:16.679

01:57:53.040 --> 01:57:55.380 the next interview question is why 2625 01:57:55.380 --> 01:57:57.780 should we hire you why should we hire 2626 01:57:57.780 --> 01:58:00.960 you so this is your

special qualifications you have 2630 01:58:09.599 --> 01:58:11.639 certifications you have specific 2631 01:58:11.639 --> 01:58:14.219 experience you have a specific goal in 2632 01:58:14.219 --> 01:58:16.739 mind this is the kind of question you 2633 01:58:16.739 --> 01:58:19.500 can share that information in response 2634 01:58:19.500 --> 01:58:22.800 to why should we hire you because I can 2635 01:58:22.800 --> 01:58:25.320 speak six different languages and I know 2636 01:58:25.320 --> 01:58:28.920 how to create a website in 10 minutes I 2637 01:58:28.920 --> 01:58:31.800 don't know so if you have some kind of 2638 01:58:31.800 --> 01:58:34.020 special qualifications you can share 2639 01:58:34.020 --> 01:58:36.599 those qualifications in response to this 2640 01:58:36.599 --> 01:58:39.119 question in another example sentence I'm 2641 01:58:39.119 --> 01:58:41.400 a goal-oriented person who likes to work 2642 01:58:41.400 --> 01:58:43.440 at a fast pace 2643 01:58:43.440 --> 01:58:45.420 what do you consider your strengths and 2644 01:58:45.420 --> 01:58:46.560 weaknesses 2645 01:58:46.560 --> 01:58:48.780 the next question is a common question 2646 01:58:48.780 --> 01:58:51.840 what do you consider your strengths and 2647 01:58:51.840 --> 01:58:54.060 weaknesses what do you consider your 2648 01:58:54.060 --> 01:58:56.460 strengths and weaknesses or what are 2649 01:58:56.460 --> 01:58:58.500 your strengths and weaknesses so 2650 01:58:58.500 --> 01:59:00.900 strengths means strong points things you 2651 01:59:00.900 --> 01:59:03.179 are good at weaknesses is your weak 2652 01:59:03.179 --> 01:59:05.099 points things you are not very good at 2653 01:59:05.099 --> 01:59:08.040 so you can you should be honest to a 2654 01:59:08.040 --> 01:59:10.679 degree but be careful so this should be 2655 01:59:10.679 --> 01:59:13.199 in a professional setting keep that in 2656 01:59:13.199 --> 01:59:15.599 mind it's a professional setting if you 2657 01:59:15.599 --> 01:59:17.340 want to talk about your weaknesses don't 2658 01:59:17.340 --> 01:59:19.920 say like uh I eat too much chocolate or 2659 01:59:19.920 --> 01:59:21.900 don't say like I love sleeping or 2660 01:59:21.900 --> 01:59:24.179 whatever talk about your professional 2661 01:59:24.179 --> 01:59:25.860 strengths and your professional 2662 01:59:25.860 --> 01:59:28.320 weaknesses and also with your weaknesses 2663 01:59:28.320 --> 01:59:30.420 it would be a good idea to talk about 2664 01:59:30.420 --> 01:59:33.780 how you improve those weaknesses or how 2665 01:59:33.780 --> 01:59:35.940 you work with your team members or work 2666 01:59:35.940 --> 01:59:40.139 in a company to try to reduce the effect 2667 01:59:40.139 --> 01:59:42.900 of those weaknesses so for example I'm 2668 01:59:42.900 --> 01:59:46.020 very detail-oriented but I often take on 2669 01:59:46.020 --> 01:59:48.599 too much at one time 2670 01:59:48.599 --> 01:59:50.639 um so like in my case that's the case 2671 01:59:50.639 --> 01:59:52.860 like I'm very detail oriented but I 2672 01:59:52.860 --> 01:59:55.500 often take on too much so do too many 2673 01:59:55.500 --> 01:59:58.440 things at one time so I could explain 2674 01:59:58.440 --> 02:00:01.800 okay so I'm very detail oriented but uh 2675 02:00:01.800 --> 02:00:04.139 if I'm trying to take on too much I try 2676 02:00:04.139 --> 02:00:06.599 maybe I say I communicate with my 2677 02:00:06.599 --> 02:00:08.460 co-workers about what should be 2678 02:00:08.460 --> 02:00:11.400 prioritized and that helps me organize 2679 02:00:11.400 --> 02:00:13.500 my time better so when you introduce 2680 02:00:13.500 --> 02:00:15.900 your weakness talk about the ways you 2681 02:00:15.900 --> 02:00:18.540 kind of you try to reduce the effect of 2682 02:00:18.540 --> 02:00:20.460 that weakness that can be one technique 2683 02:00:20.460 --> 02:00:22.380 so your good points and your bad points 2684 02:00:22.380 --> 02:00:23.639 in this question 2685 02:00:23.639 --> 02:00:25.920 tell me about a time when you overcame a 2686 02:00:25.920 --> 02:00:28.739 challenge at work some interviewers may 2687 02:00:28.739 --> 02:00:31.199 ask this question tell me about a time 2688 02:00:31.199 --> 02:00:33.780 when you overcame a challenge at work so 2689 02:00:33.780 --> 02:00:35.280 it's not really a question they're 2690 02:00:35.280 --> 02:00:37.739 asking you to tell a story so tell me 2691 02:00:37.739 --> 02:00:39.599 about a time when you overcame a 2692 02:00:39.599 --> 02:00:41.699 challenge at work so they want to hear 2693 02:00:41.699 --> 02:00:43.920 an example from your professional 2694 02:00:43.920 --> 02:00:46.739 experience about how you solved a 2695 02:00:46.739 --> 02:00:49.080 problem what did you do to solve a 2696 02:00:49.080 --> 02:00:51.900 problem at work they want to know what 2697 02:00:51.900 --> 02:00:54.119 kind of problem it was and how you 2698 02:00:54.119 --> 02:00:56.159 approach the problem and the result of 2699 02:00:56.159 --> 02:00:59.040 that problem so you could say for 2700 02:00:59.040 --> 02:01:01.440 example our company party was scheduled 2701 02:01:01.440 --> 02:01:04.139 for the day before Christmas but the 2702 02:01:04.139 --> 02:01:06.540 restaurant exploded and I had to find a 2703 02:01:06.540 --> 02:01:08.699 new place to have the party I don't know 2704 02:01:08.699 --> 02:01:11.940 that's not of course a crazy example but 2705 02:01:11.940 --> 02:01:15.060 giving your employer an idea of how you 2706 02:01:15.060 --> 02:01:16.920 solve problems and maybe the kind of 2707 02:01:16.920 --> 02:01:18.900 mental state you have when you solve the 2708 02:01:18.900 --> 02:01:21.179 problems can be helpful in making a 2709 02:01:21.179 --> 02:01:24.000 hiring decision so in an example when I 2710 02:01:24.000 --> 02:01:25.980 was having trouble communicating with a 2711 02:01:25.980 --> 02:01:28.679 client I reached out to a co-worker for 2712 02:01:28.679 --> 02:01:29.880 support 2713 02:01:29.880 --> 02:01:32.520 what are your career goals the next 2714 02:01:32.520 --> 02:01:35.280 question is what are your career goals 2715 02:01:35.280 --> 02:01:38.280 your career goals so not necessarily in 2716 02:01:38.280 --> 02:01:40.619 this company but in your career overall 2717 02:01:40.619 --> 02:01:43.380 in the interview it's probably a good 2718 02:01:43.380 --> 02:01:46.500 idea to include the company where you 2719 02:01:46.500 --> 02:01:48.599 are currently interviewing in your 2720 02:01:48.599 --> 02:01:51.960 career goals but keep in mind like you 2721 02:01:51.960 --> 02:01:54.900 should be explaining a goal or you 2722 02:01:54.900 --> 02:01:59.219 should be sharing a goal that is in line 2723 02:01:59.219 --> 02:02:02.159 with the company's work so if your goal 2724 02:02:02.159 --> 02:02:04.860 is to open a cupcake shop but you're 2725 02:02:04.860 --> 02:02:07.380 interviewing for like an I.T job where 2726 02:02:07.380 --> 02:02:10.099 you're going to be like I don't know 2727 02:02:10.099 --> 02:02:12.840 installing Windows 10 on people's 2728 02:02:12.840 --> 02:02:14.940 computers maybe this doesn't really 2729 02:02:14.940 --> 02:02:17.400 match so make sure that your career goal 2730 02:02:17.400 --> 02:02:19.080 and the job you're interviewing for 2731 02:02:19.080 --> 02:02:21.360 Align those two should be kind of 2732 02:02:21.360 --> 02:02:24.000 aligned it'll help your interviewer and 2733 02:02:24.000 --> 02:02:26.460 it will help you I think so in an 2734 02:02:26.460 --> 02:02:28.980 example sentence I want to create a 2735 02:02:28.980 --> 02:02:31.800 global advertising campaign strategy so 2736 02:02:31.800 --> 02:02:32.940 maybe you're interviewing for a 2737 02:02:32.940 --> 02:02:34.679 marketing job for example you could say 2738 02:02:34.679 --> 02:02:36.480 that's your career goal I would love to 2739 02:02:36.480 --> 02:02:38.639 design a global marketing campaign 2740 02:02:38.639 --> 02:02:40.380 strategy for example 2741 02:02:40.380 --> 02:02:42.300 where do you see yourself in five years 2742 02:02:42.300 --> 02:02:44.940 the next question a very common one 2743 02:02:44.940 --> 02:02:47.760 where do you see yourself in five years 2744 02:02:47.760 --> 02:02:49.739 where do you see yourself in five years 2745 02:02:49.739 --> 02:02:51.960 this question means after five years 2746 02:02:51.960 --> 02:02:55.440 five years from this point in time what 2747 02:02:55.440 --> 02:02:58.080 is your vision for you what is your 2748 02:02:58.080 --> 02:03:01.320 vision of your self professionally so 2749 02:03:01.320 --> 02:03:04.199 what do you want to have achieved after 2750 02:03:04.199 --> 02:03:06.420 five years so a good tip for this 2751 02:03:06.420 --> 02:03:09.719 question is to explain where you will be 2752 02:03:09.719 --> 02:03:12.900 having made contributions to the company 2753 02:03:12.900 --> 02:03:15.060 where you are interviewing so if I'm 2754 02:03:15.060 --> 02:03:17.219 interviewing at Apple and apple says 2755 02:03:17.219 --> 02:03:18.480 where do you see yourself in five years 2756 02:03:18.480 --> 02:03:20.699 Alicia and I say I see myself at 2757 02:03:20.699 --> 02:03:23.580 Microsoft like that sounds really bad so 2758 02:03:23.580 --> 02:03:27.300 try to share your your goals for 2759 02:03:27.300 --> 02:03:29.520 yourself in a five-year period but again 2760 02:03:29.520 --> 02:03:32.159 try to align them with the company where 2761 02:03:32.159 --> 02:03:34.679 you're interviewing and explain like how 2762 02:03:34.679 --> 02:03:36.360 you plan to contribute to the company 2763 02:03:36.360 --> 02:03:39.119 and develop yourself professionally that 2764 02:03:39.119 --> 02:03:40.980 can be a really good way to to answer 2765 02:03:40.980 --> 02:03:43.139 this question for example I see myself 2766 02:03:43.139 --> 02:03:45.599 in a managerial position in this company 2767 02:03:45.599 --> 02:03:47.940 working on multiple projects for 2768 02:03:47.940 --> 02:03:50.340 multiple markets 2769 02:03:50.340 --> 02:03:52.619 why do you want to work here the next 2770 02:03:52.619 --> 02:03:54.480 question is why do you want to work here 2771 02:03:54.480 --> 02:03:56.639 why do you want to work here so similar 2772 02:03:56.639 --> 02:03:58.619 to why are you interested in this 2773 02:03:58.619 --> 02:04:01.080 position that one's like that question 2774 02:04:01.080 --> 02:04:03.119 is very much about this job in 2775 02:04:03.119 --> 02:04:05.340 particular but the question why do you 2776 02:04:05.340 --> 02:04:07.020 want to work here means why do you want 2777 02:04:07.020 --> 02:04:08.940 to work in this company like in this 2778 02:04:08.940 --> 02:04:11.280 place specifically so share something 2779 02:04:11.280 --> 02:04:13.800 about the company that you like or share 2780 02:04:13.800 --> 02:04:16.980 something some reason the company is 2781 02:04:16.980 --> 02:04:19.500 attractive to you as a candidate so 2782 02:04:19.500 --> 02:04:21.360 maybe it's the location or maybe it's 2783 02:04:21.360 --> 02:04:25.080 the ability to work overseas or maybe 2784 02:04:25.080 --> 02:04:26.880 it's an international environment or 2785 02:04:26.880 --> 02:04:28.679 maybe you can use your English skills 2786 02:04:28.679 --> 02:04:31.440 some reason why you're interested in 2787 02:04:31.440 --> 02:04:33.900 working at this company specifically 2788 02:04:33.900 --> 02:04:36.300 share that after this question so 2789 02:04:36.300 --> 02:04:38.639 example I think there's a lot to learn 2790 02:04:38.639 --> 02:04:40.619 and I think there are opportunities for 2791 02:04:40.619 --> 02:04:42.060 promotion 2792 02:04:42.060 --> 02:04:44.340 do you have any questions for me 2793 02:04:44.340 --> 02:04:46.980 last one the last question is very 2794 02:04:46.980 --> 02:04:49.560 common do you have any questions for me 2795 02:04:49.560 --> 02:04:51.300 do you have any questions for me 2796 02:04:51.300 --> 02:04:53.280 interviewers will often ask this 2797 02:04:53.280 --> 02:04:55.219 question at the end of an interview 2798 02:04:55.219 --> 02:04:58.199 inviting the candidate to ask questions 2799 02:04:58.199 --> 02:05:01.199 about the company it is usually a very 2800 02:05:01.199 --> 02:05:04.020 good idea to prepare some questions for 2801 02:05:04.020 --> 02:05:06.540 the interviewer so it's it's also a good 2802 02:05:06.540 --> 02:05:08.219 idea to research your company or 2803 02:05:08.219 --> 02:05:09.719 research the university you're 2804 02:05:09.719 --> 02:05:12.780 interviewing for before the interview so 2805 02:05:12.780 --> 02:05:14.340 if you have questions about the company 2806 02:05:14.340 --> 02:05:17.699 company policy that sort of thing it's a 2807 02:05:17.699 --> 02:05:19.560 great chance to ask your interviewer 2808 02:05:19.560 --> 02:05:21.900 generally however it's not a good idea 2809 02:05:21.900 --> 02:05:24.599 to ask specific questions about pay or 2810 02:05:24.599 --> 02:05:27.420 vacation in the interview as you can be 2811 02:05:27.420 --> 02:05:30.360 seen as maybe two being too money or too 2812 02:05:30.360 --> 02:05:32.520 vacation focused that might come a 2813 02:05:32.520 --> 02:05:34.679 little later if you say what's the 2814 02:05:34.679 --> 02:05:37.560 salary for this job like unless it's a 2815 02:05:37.560 --> 02:05:39.659 situation unless it's a kind of a close 2816 02:05:39.659 --> 02:05:42.000 situation that might be too direct a 2817 02:05:42.000 --> 02:05:44.699 question but instead ask some some 2818 02:05:44.699 --> 02:05:46.260 things about the company ask your 2819 02:05:46.260 --> 02:05:48.480 interviewer what it's like to work there 2820 02:05:48.480 --> 02:05:50.699 what your interviewer thinks is good 2821 02:05:50.699 --> 02:05:52.980 about working for the company or maybe 2822 02:05:52.980 --> 02:05:55.380 what your interviewer thinks the company 2823 02:05:55.380 --> 02:05:57.599 is planning to do over the next few 2824 02:05:57.599 --> 02:06:00.719 years ask something of your interviewer 2825 02:06:00.719 --> 02:06:03.060 so it shows that you are interested in 2826 02:06:03.060 --> 02:06:05.219 that company and that you want to learn 2827 02:06:05.219 --> 02:06:07.199 more and participate more with that 2828 02:06:07.199 --> 02:06:09.300 company so make sure to have some 2829 02:06:09.300 --> 02:06:11.580 questions prepared when your interviewer 2830 02:06:11.580 --> 02:06:13.920 asks do you have any questions for me so 2831 02:06:13.920 --> 02:06:16.080 example question what do you think is 2832 02:06:16.080 --> 02:06:17.940 the most rewarding part about working 2833 02:06:17.940 --> 02:06:21.179 here so those are 10 job interview 2834 02:06:21.179 --> 02:06:23.820 questions and a few different ways you 2835 02:06:23.820 --> 02:06:25.980 can respond to them so I think those are 2836 02:06:25.980 --> 02:06:28.260 useful for job interviews yes but maybe 2837 02:06:28.260 --> 02:06:30.360 if you interview for like a university 2838 02:06:30.360 --> 02:06:33.179 or interview for a scholarship or 2839 02:06:33.179 --> 02:06:35.340 something you can use similar responses 2840 02:06:35.340 --> 02:06:37.619 to similar questions so if you have any 2841 02:06:37.619 --> 02:06:39.420 questions or comments please let us know 2842 02:06:39.420 -->

Winter I 3632 02:40:37.500 --> 02:40:39.060 tried to pull the blankets up and my 3633 02:40:39.060 --> 02:40:42.180 blanket was kind of like shiny and slick 3634 02:40:42.180 --> 02:40:45.020 and I

02:41:16.680 probably don't need to use this so much 3646 02:41:16.680 --> 02:41:18.959 because in most cases the price is 3647 02:41:18.959 --> 02:41:21.840 clearly written in stores but every once 3648 02:41:21.840 --> 02:41:24.300 in a while you do need to ask or you 3649 02:41:24.300 --> 02:41:26.520 need to like talk to someone about a 3650 02:41:26.520 --> 02:41:29.100 price in a

02:41:37.020 here how much are these how much are 3654 02:41:37.020 --> 02:41:40.020 those in present tense and you can also 3655 02:41:40.020 --> 02:41:42.959 ask about past tense information how 3656 02:41:42.959 --> 02:41:45.840 much was that for example how much was 3657 02:41:45.840 --> 02:41:48.000 your car or how much was this apartment 3658 02:41:48.000 --> 02:41:51.000 or how much were those donuts 3659 02:41:51.000 --> 02:41:53.520 it's a very important question how much 3660 02:41:53.520 --> 02:41:55.620 did your sandwich cost you could ask 3661 02:41:55.620 --> 02:41:57.780 that

important probably more important for 3670 02:42:20.939 --> 02:42:22.859 you to use this expression and don't 3671 02:42:22.859 --> 02:42:25.560 feel bad about it what did you say 3672 02:42:25.560 --> 02:42:28.080 naturally what did you say what did you 3673 02:42:28.080 --> 02:42:30.899 say what did you say is a question about 3674 02:42:30.899 --> 02:42:33.359 the thing the other person in the 3675 02:42:33.359 --> 02:42:36.000 conversation just said like you couldn't 3676 02:42:36.000 --> 02:42:39.479 catch it or you think you misheard 3677 02:42:39.479 --> 02:42:42.000 something or maybe you didn't understand 3678 02:42:42.000 --> 02:42:44.280 something they said what did you say 3679 02:42:44.280 --> 02:42:47.220 it's a little more polite than just what 3680 02:42:47.220 --> 02:42:50.640 so what did you say yeah anytime you 3681 02:42:50.640 --> 02:42:52.500 need to come confirm something that 3682 02:42:52.500 --> 02:42:54.720 someone else said you can use what did 3683 02:42:54.720 --> 02:42:57.359 you say try to use a nice intonation 3684 02:42:57.359 --> 02:43:00.180 with this also what did you say what 3685 02:43:00.180 --> 02:43:02.399 does that mean what does that mean and 3686 02:43:02.399 --> 02:43:04.260 native speakers use this too like we 3687 02:43:04.260 --> 02:43:05.939 don't understand everything like 3688 02:43:05.939 --> 02:43:08.160 sometimes everybody needs an explanation 3689 02:43:08.160 --> 02:43:11.939 so what does that mean is a great way to 3690 02:43:11.939 --> 02:43:14.459 ask for it what does that mean in fast 3691 02:43:14.459 --> 02:43:16.439 speech is what does that mean what does 3692 02:43:16.439 --> 02:43:19.800 that mean so the th in that becomes like 3693 02:43:19.800 --> 02:43:24.000 a s or a z sound what does that mean so 3694 02:43:24.000 --> 02:43:27.060 it connects to that z sound in does what 3695 02:43:27.060 --> 02:43:29.340 does that mean what does that mean so 3696 02:43:29.340 --> 02:43:31.740 what does that mean it's like you don't 3697 02:43:31.740 --> 02:43:33.959 understand something that's written or 3698 02:43:33.959 --> 02:43:35.640 maybe you don't understand the 3699 02:43:35.640 --> 02:43:38.879 implications implications means like the 3700 02:43:38.879 --> 02:43:41.340 um like the background information of a 3701 02:43:41.340 --> 02:43:44.280 situation so what does that mean or you 3702 02:43:44.280 --> 02:43:45.840 don't understand something someone else 3703 02:43:45.840 --> 02:43:48.000 said but they're gone 3704 02:43:48.000 --> 02:43:51.540 so you can't say what did you say you 3705 02:43:51.540 --> 02:43:53.280 ask someone else what does that mean 3706 02:43:53.280 --> 02:43:54.899 what that person just said what does 3707 02:43:54.899 --> 02:43:56.700 that mean so what does that mean is 3708 02:43:56.700 --> 02:43:59.100 another really important expression for 3709 02:43:59.100 --> 02:44:01.560 Learners especially I don't feel so good 3710 02:44:01.560 --> 02:44:04.200 I don't feel so good so if you don't 3711 02:44:04.200 --> 02:44:06.479 want to specifically say like my stomach 3712 02:44:06.479 --> 02:44:08.520 hurts or my arm hurts or my head hurts 3713 02:44:08.520 --> 02:44:12.359 you can say I don't feel so good so this 3714 02:44:12.359 --> 02:44:14.939 tends to be used more for like stomach 3715 02:44:14.939 --> 02:44:18.000 problems so I don't feel so good I ate a 3716 02:44:18.000 --> 02:44:20.580 huge lunch I don't feel so good or maybe 3717 02:44:20.580 --> 02:44:22.979 you ate something bad I don't feel so 3718 02:44:22.979 --> 02:44:25.500 good we often use I don't feel so good 3719 02:44:25.500 --> 02:44:28.500 when we actually feel very bad very 3720 02:44:28.500 --> 02:44:31.740 suddenly like in the examples I 3721 02:44:31.740 --> 02:44:34.140 mentioned when we eat something and our 3722 02:44:34.140 --> 02:44:36.240 body is not happy with it and we 3723 02:44:36.240 --> 02:44:38.700 suddenly feel sick we might use the 3724 02:44:38.700 --> 02:44:40.920 Expression I don't feel so good I need 3725 02:44:40.920 --> 02:44:43.680 to go home so you can use this to talk 3726 02:44:43.680 --> 02:44:45.840 about like a sudden and unpleasant 3727 02:44:45.840 --> 02:44:47.939 feeling in your body I don't feel so 3728 02:44:47.939 --> 02:44:51.959 good I need to go to location I need to 3729 02:44:51.959 --> 02:44:54.840 go to location I need to go to location 3730 02:44:54.840 --> 02:44:58.620 is useful for talking about errands so 3731 02:44:58.620 --> 02:45:01.260 errands is like small tasks you need to 3732 02:45:01.260 --> 02:45:03.420 do throughout the day we also use this 3733 02:45:03.420 --> 02:45:05.340 expression when we need to visit the 3734 02:45:05.340 --> 02:45:07.859 restroom urgently so you can say I need 3735 02:45:07.859 --> 02:45:09.600 to go to the restroom that's great 3736 02:45:09.600 --> 02:45:11.879 that's very natural and polite way to 3737 02:45:11.879 --> 02:45:13.280 talk about visiting the restroom 3738 02:45:13.280 --> 02:45:15.899 otherwise when you're talking about your 3739 02:45:15.899 --> 02:45:17.939 daily tasks you can say I need to go to 3740 02:45:17.939 --> 02:45:19.620 the bank I need to go to the store I 3741 02:45:19.620 --> 02:45:22.200 need to go to the car wash I need to go 3742 02:45:22.200 --> 02:45:24.300 to the pet sitter and pick up my 3743 02:45:24.300 --> 02:45:26.520 neighbor's poodle what that was very 3744 02:45:26.520 --> 02:45:27.439 specific 3745 02:45:27.439 --> 02:45:29.700 so you can talk about your 3746 02:45:29.700 --> 02:45:32.819 responsibilities with need to yes you 3747 02:45:32.819 --> 02:45:35.760 can substitute have to here I have to go 3748 02:45:35.760 --> 02:45:37.319 to the bank I have to go to the store 3749 02:45:37.319 --> 02:45:40.439 keep in mind also when you want to use 3750 02:45:40.439 --> 02:45:43.620 the negative form I don't have to or I 3751 02:45:43.620 --> 02:45:47.100 don't need to you can but make sure you 3752 02:45:47.100 --> 02:45:49.620 use it with something you don't have a 3753 02:45:49.620 --> 02:45:52.439 responsibility to do you I hear lots of 3754 02:45:52.439 --> 02:45:55.319 Learners use expressions like I don't 3755 02:45:55.319 --> 02:45:58.979 have to go to the bar today for example 3756 02:45:58.979 --> 02:46:02.220 like if going to a bar is part of your 3757 02:46:02.220 --> 02:46:04.800 regular responsibilities like you work 3758 02:46:04.800 --> 02:46:07.260 at a bar or like part of your business 3759 02:46:07.260 --> 02:46:10.379 is at a bar fine but if it's just 3760 02:46:10.379 --> 02:46:12.720 something you occasionally do it sounds 3761 02:46:12.720 --> 02:46:15.420 really unnatural to use I don't have to 3762 02:46:15.420 --> 02:46:18.240 go to the bar today so we use this in 3763 02:46:18.240 --> 02:46:20.220 the negative form for things we can 3764 02:46:20.220 --> 02:46:23.160 naturally and reasonably be expected to 3765 02:46:23.160 --> 02:46:26.040 have responsibility to do so keep that 3766 02:46:26.040 --> 02:46:27.780 in mind when you use the negative form 3767 02:46:27.780 --> 02:46:31.979

02:47:01.500 apart on camera because that's how much 3779 02:47:01.500 --> 02:47:04.800 I love shopping yeah so past tense I had 3780 02:47:04.800 --> 02:47:07.439 to buy new clothes yesterday or I

leaving so we use this when 3792 02:47:39.780 --> 02:47:41.879 we're at an event we're at a party we're 3793 02:47:41.879 --> 02:47:44.160 maybe at work whatever you're going 3794 02:47:44.160 --> 02:47:46.379 somewhere else with another person or 3795 02:47:46.379 --> 02:47:49.379 with a group when are we leaving when 3796 02:47:49.379 --> 02:47:51.899 are we leaving this place in other words 3797 02:47:51.899 --> 02:47:54.720 so natural pronunciation when are we 3798 02:47:54.720 --> 02:47:57.359 leaving when are we leaving becomes when 3799 02:47:57.359 --> 02:48:00.240 are we leaving okay so those are 25 3800 02:48:00.240 --> 02:48:03.180 must-know intermediate phrases I hope 3801 02:48:03.180 --> 02:48:05.459 that those are helpful for you many of 3802 02:48:05.459 -->

3805 02:48:11.879 --> 02:48:15.000 tense too so don't stick only to present 3806 02:48:15.000 --> 02:48:17.819 tense make sure to go outside of present 3807 02:48:17.819 --> 02:48:19.920 tense and think about the different ways 3808 02:48:19.920 --> 02:48:21.959 that you can use these Expressions to 3809 02:48:21.959 --> 02:48:24.359 talk about the past and the Future Okay 3810 02:48:24.359 -->

02:54:25.740 --> 02:54:28.260 what that tense looks like in a sentence 3874 02:54:28.260 --> 02:54:31.260 or in a question so this is just a quick 3875 02:54:31.260 --> 02:54:34.379 guide if you want

website for a video specifically about 3879 02:54:41.760 --> 02:54:44.100 one of these tenses so I hope this is 3880 02:54:44.100 --> 02:54:46.439 helpful for you okay so let's get 3881 02:54:46.439 --> 02:54:49.859 started the first group of tenses I want 3882 02:54:49.859 --> 02:54:52.859 to look at is the present tense so for 3883 02:54:52.859 --> 02:54:55.080 today's lesson I've organized it into 3884 02:54:55.080 --> 02:54:58.379 three categories present past and future 3885 02:54:58.379 --> 02:55:01.620 tenses so let's begin with the present 3886 02:55:01.620 --> 02:55:04.979 tense so in each category I have four 3887 02:55:04.979 --> 02:55:07.500 different tenses I have simple 3888 02:55:07.500 --> 02:55:10.020 continuous perfect and perfect 3889 02:55:10.020 --> 02:55:13.439 continuous you might know continuous as 3890 02:55:13.439 --> 02:55:15.540 Progressive they mean the same thing 3891 02:55:15.540 --> 02:55:18.120 continuous and Progressive mean the same 3892 02:55:18.120 --> 02:55:20.459 thing for this lesson so let's begin 3893 02:55:20.459 --> 02:55:23.340 with the present simple tense present 3894 02:55:23.340 --> 02:55:25.859 simple tense is a tense we use for 3895 02:55:25.859 --> 02:55:29.220 General facts for regular actions and 3896 02:55:29.220 --> 02:55:31.740 for schedules so this is stuff that 3897 02:55:31.740 --> 02:55:33.300 doesn't change 3898 02:55:33.300 --> 02:55:36.660 like he speaks English for example she 3899 02:55:36.660 --> 02:55:38.700 doesn't speak Spanish that's a simple 3900 02:55:38.700 --> 02:55:41.879 fact for regular action so things you do 3901 02:55:41.879 --> 02:55:45.180 every day or every week for example and 3902 02:55:45.180 --> 02:55:47.580 schedule so that means like a bus or an 3903 02:55:47.580 --> 02:55:50.040 airplane or maybe a car schedule 3904 02:55:50.040 --> 02:55:52.319 something that maintains a regular 3905 02:55:52.319 --> 02:55:55.379 schedule an example two examples of 3906 02:55:55.379 --> 02:55:58.500 using the present simple tense first I 3907 02:55:58.500 --> 02:56:01.620 work on Mondays so here work is my verb 3908 02:56:01.620 --> 02:56:04.800 I work on Mondays simple present tense a 3909 02:56:04.800 --> 02:56:07.560 negative I don't eat lunch at two 3910 02:56:07.560 --> 02:56:10.200 o'clock so these are simple present 3911 02:56:10.200 --> 02:56:12.420 tense statements in this case they're 3912 02:56:12.420 --> 02:56:14.399 just simple statements of fact really 3913 02:56:14.399 --> 02:56:17.939 okay so let's continue to the next one 3914 02:56:17.939 --> 02:56:20.279 the second tense is the present 3915 02:56:20.279 --> 02:56:22.920 continuous tense the present continuous 3916 02:56:22.920 --> 02:56:23.819 tense 3917 02:56:23.819 --> 02:56:26.939 so present continuous tense we use for 3918 02:56:26.939 --> 02:56:29.399 continuing actions and that means 3919 02:56:29.399 --> 02:56:32.459 actions that are happening now so for 3920 02:56:32.459 --> 02:56:35.580 example I'm teaching I'm standing I'm 3921 02:56:35.580 --> 02:56:39.000 speaking those are actions happening now 3922 02:56:39.000 --> 02:56:41.520 so we use it for continuing actions now 3923 02:56:41.520 --> 02:56:45.120 like physical actions we also use it for 3924 02:56:45.120 --> 02:56:48.120 Trends so things happening in your 3925 02:56:48.120 --> 02:56:51.000 Society right now for example so 3926 02:56:51.000 --> 02:56:53.819 examples would be like that TV show is 3927 02:56:53.819 --> 02:56:57.060 becoming popular or the world is getting 3928 02:56:57.060 --> 02:56:59.879 warmer for example so these are things 3929 02:56:59.879 --> 02:57:03.479 happening now also we can use it for 3930 02:57:03.479 --> 02:57:06.359 one-time actions as well and this 3931 02:57:06.359 --> 02:57:08.760 relates a little bit to future tense 3932 02:57:08.760 --> 02:57:11.100 which I'm going to talk about later too 3933 02:57:11.100 --> 02:57:14.100 but something happening just one time in 3934 02:57:14.100 --> 02:57:16.680 the future we can use the continuous 3935 02:57:16.680 --> 02:57:20.580 form to describe that so for example I'm 3936 02:57:20.580 --> 02:57:23.580 working this Saturday so sometimes 3937 02:57:23.580 --> 02:57:25.740 students ask what's the difference why 3938 02:57:25.740 --> 02:57:28.200 is it I'm working this Saturday and not 3939 02:57:28.200 --> 02:57:31.620 I work this Saturday remember we talked 3940 02:57:31.620 --> 02:57:33.779 about the present simple tense we use 3941 02:57:33.779 --> 02:57:35.760 that for regular actions for General 3942 02:57:35.760 --> 02:57:39.420 facts so if you usually work on 3943 02:57:39.420 --> 02:57:41.459 Saturdays you should use the present 3944 02:57:41.459 --> 02:57:44.100 simple tense I work on Saturdays if 3945 02:57:44.100 --> 02:57:47.220 however this Saturday is special and you 3946 02:57:47.220 --> 02:57:49.319 don't usually work on Saturdays you 3947 02:57:49.319 --> 02:57:51.359 should use the continuous tense I'm 3948 02:57:51.359 --> 02:57:53.520 working this Saturday so it sounds like 3949 02:57:53.520 --> 02:57:55.859 that's not a typical thing for you I'm 3950 02:57:55.859 --> 02:57:58.379 working this Saturday okay let's go on 3951 02:57:58.379 --> 02:58:00.479 to the third tense the third tense is 3952 02:58:00.479 --> 02:58:02.580 the present perfect tense the present 3953 02:58:02.580 --> 02:58:05.100 perfect tense so we use the present 3954 02:58:05.100 --> 02:58:07.319 perfect tense for General life 3955 02:58:07.319 --> 02:58:10.319 experience or lack thereof so lack 3956 02:58:10.319 --> 02:58:13.080 thereof means no no life experience not 3957 02:58:13.080 --> 02:58:15.899 having a life experience so something 3958 02:58:15.899 --> 02:58:19.620 that you did in the past but not at a 3959 02:58:19.620 --> 02:58:21.840 specific point in time the specific 3960 02:58:21.840 --> 02:58:24.240 point in time is not so important here 3961 02:58:24.240 --> 02:58:27.600 or maybe we don't know so example a 3962 02:58:27.600 --> 02:58:30.840 negative example he has Never Been to 3963 02:58:30.840 --> 02:58:33.060 Spain he has Never Been to Spain in this 3964 02:58:33.060 --> 02:58:36.540 case no life experience of going to 3965 02:58:36.540 --> 02:58:38.819 Spain is what this means so this is an 3966 02:58:38.819 --> 02:58:41.819 example of present perfect tense here we 3967 02:58:41.819 --> 02:58:44.760 have he has remember we need to attach 3968 02:58:44.760 --> 02:58:49.379 has or have before our past participle 3969 02:58:49.379 --> 02:58:51.779 verb form here so for more information 3970 02:58:51.779 --> 02:58:54.000 about this tense you can check the 3971 02:58:54.000 --> 02:58:55.560 channel there's more information there 3972 02:58:55.560 --> 02:58:58.439 so let's continue on to the next tense 3973 02:58:58.439 --> 02:59:00.300 now the next tense is the present 3974 02:59:00.300 --> 02:59:02.700 perfect continuous tense present perfect 3975 02:59:02.700 --> 02:59:06.060 continuous we use this tense for actions 3976 02:59:06.060 --> 02:59:09.000 that started in the past and continue to 3977 02:59:09.000 --> 02:59:10.920 the present so something you started 3978 02:59:10.920 --> 02:59:13.620 doing in the past some point in the past 3979 02:59:13.620 --> 02:59:17.340 it's not always important when but that 3980 02:59:17.340 --> 02:59:19.979 action continues so you use this a lot 3981 02:59:19.979 --> 02:59:22.319 to talk about your studies for example 3982 02:59:22.319 --> 02:59:26.220 we use words like for and since and 3983 02:59:26.220 --> 02:59:28.920 maybe a go with this as well so an 3984 02:59:28.920 --> 02:59:31.439 example of this I've been studying 3985 02:59:31.439 --> 02:59:34.800 English for two years so here we see 3986 02:59:34.800 --> 02:59:38.040 I've been this I've is the contracted 3987 02:59:38.040 --> 02:59:41.779 the reduced form of I have I have been 3988 02:59:41.779 --> 02:59:44.640 studying so this is the continuous or 3989 02:59:44.640 --> 02:59:46.979 the progressive form in this case I've 3990 02:59:46.979 --> 02:59:49.379 used the word for I've used four because 3991 02:59:49.379 --> 02:59:52.319 I'm using two years which is a length of 3992 02:59:52.319 --> 02:59:55.560 time we can use since for example I've 3993 02:59:55.560 --> 02:59:59.279 been studying English since 2016. so we 3994 02:59:59.279 --> 03:00:02.399 use since before a specific point in 3995 03:00:02.399 --> 03:00:06.600 time we can use a go as well usually we 3996 03:00:06.600 --> 03:00:08.520 pair it with synths I've been studying 3997 03:00:08.520 --> 03:00:11.879 English since two years ago you'll 3998 03:00:11.879 --> 03:00:14.580 notice when we use a go however we 3999 03:00:14.580 --> 03:00:17.359 change from using in my first example 4000 03:00:17.359 --> 03:00:21.359 2016 to a length of time since two years 4001 03:00:21.359 --> 03:00:23.819 ago so there are a few different changes 4002 03:00:23.819 --> 03:00:25.620 you need to make there but you can check 4003 03:00:25.620 --> 03:00:27.959 the other video on the channel for more 4004 03:00:27.959 --> 03:00:29.879 information about that grammar Point 4005 03:00:29.879 --> 03:00:32.760 okay let's move on to the second group 4006 03:00:32.760 --> 03:00:35.340 for today which is the past tense let's 4007 03:00:35.340 --> 03:00:37.379 look at the Four Points in the past 4008 03:00:37.379 --> 03:00:40.560 tense here first one is the past simple 4009 03:00:40.560 --> 03:00:43.020 or just simple past tense simple past 4010 03:00:43.020 --> 03:00:45.600 tense is used for actions that started 4011 03:00:45.600 --> 03:00:49.080 and finished in the past so for example 4012 03:00:49.080 --> 03:00:52.979 I taught simple present tense earlier so 4013 03:00:52.979 --> 03:00:55.620 I used past tense I taught simple 4014 03:00:55.620 --> 03:00:58.140 present tense because the action started 4015 03:00:58.140 --> 03:01:01.560 and finished in the past another example 4016 03:01:01.560 --> 03:01:05.160 I worked all night I worked all night so 4017 03:01:05.160 --> 03:01:08.279 work is my verb I use simple past tense 4018 03:01:08.279 --> 03:01:10.979 worked because the action started and 4019 03:01:10.979 --> 03:01:13.859 finished in the past another example a 4020 03:01:13.859 --> 03:01:16.439 negative they didn't come they didn't 4021 03:01:16.439 --> 03:01:18.240 come to the party they didn't come to 4022 03:01:18.240 --> 03:01:21.120 the office the action was in the past it 4023 03:01:21.120 --> 03:01:23.640 refers to something that did not happen 4024 03:01:23.640 --> 03:01:26.160 in the past so there was no action in 4025 03:01:26.160 --> 03:01:28.740 the past but it's over it's finished so 4026 03:01:28.740 --> 03:01:30.720 we use simple past tense to talk about 4027 03:01:30.720 --> 03:01:33.420 these simple actions that started and 4028 03:01:33.420 --> 03:01:36.899 finished in the past okay let's go on to 4029 03:01:36.899 --> 03:01:40.140 the Past continuous them past continuous 4030 03:01:40.140 --> 03:01:43.379 is for actions that we're continuing in 4031 03:01:43.379 --> 03:01:46.379 the past so this one is one we often use 4032 03:01:46.379 --> 03:01:49.439 with a specific point in time along with 4033 03:01:49.439 --> 03:01:52.680 it so let's look at an example first 4034 03:01:52.680 --> 03:01:55.020 we were listening to music we were 4035 03:01:55.020 --> 03:01:57.180 listening to music yesterday or we were 4036 03:01:57.180 --> 03:02:00.240 listening to music at 8 pm when were you 4037 03:02:00.240 --> 03:02:02.220 listening to music when was that action 4038 03:02:02.220 --> 03:02:06.240 continuing at 8 pm or yesterday so it's 4039 03:02:06.240 --> 03:02:09.300 common to include a point in time with 4040 03:02:09.300 --> 03:02:11.399 this grammar Point another example like 4041 03:02:11.399 --> 03:02:14.399 I was doing something something ing form 4042 03:02:14.399 --> 03:02:18.120 there so this is one that's some people 4043 03:02:18.120 --> 03:02:20.340 have questions about like why should I 4044 03:02:20.340 --> 03:02:22.500 use that when should I use that it's 4045 03:02:22.500 --> 03:02:24.720 typically used in response to someone's 4046 03:02:24.720 --> 03:02:27.240 question like what were you doing last 4047 03:02:27.240 --> 03:02:29.640 night for example or what were you doing 4048 03:02:29.640 --> 03:02:31.560 this morning so you want to know 4049 03:02:31.560 --> 03:02:34.439 someone's activities at a specific point 4050 03:02:34.439 --> 03:02:36.660 in time you can use this grammar point 4051 03:02:36.660 --> 03:02:39.720 to respond to that question okay let's 4052 03:02:39.720 --> 03:02:42.180 move along to the past perfect tense our 4053 03:02:42.180 --> 03:02:44.520 next one past perfect tense is for 4054 03:02:44.520 --> 03:02:46.439 actions that were completed or not 4055 03:02:46.439 --> 03:02:50.580 completed at a non-specific point in the 4056 03:02:50.580 --> 03:02:53.100 past at a non-specific point in the past 4057 03:02:53.100 --> 03:02:55.740 so this one is kind of difficult and 4058 03:02:55.740 --> 03:02:59.580 it's perhaps not used quite so much in 4059 03:02:59.580 --> 03:03:02.040 everyday conversation this is used a bit 4060 03:03:02.040 --> 03:03:04.439 more in writing this is a grammar Point 4061 03:03:04.439 --> 03:03:07.020 that's especially helpful when we want 4062 03:03:07.020 --> 03:03:09.420 to show kind of a timeline in our 4063 03:03:09.420 --> 03:03:11.819 writing to show that an action happened 4064 03:03:11.819 --> 03:03:15.359 before another action in the past we can 4065 03:03:15.359 --> 03:03:18.000 use the past perfect tense so here's a 4066 03:03:18.000 --> 03:03:21.359 couple of examples uh first one they 4067 03:03:21.359 --> 03:03:24.300 hadn't departed yet so here hadn't is 4068 03:03:24.300 --> 03:03:26.819 the reduced form of had not they hadn't 4069 03:03:26.819 --> 03:03:30.000 departed yet and I had taken my lunch 4070 03:03:30.000 --> 03:03:30.899 break 4071 03:03:30.899 --> 03:03:34.140 so we would use sentences like these if 4072 03:03:34.140 --> 03:03:36.540 we're telling a story so we're telling a 4073 03:03:36.540 --> 03:03:38.640 story about the past and we want to show 4074 03:03:38.640 --> 03:03:41.220 that one action happened before another 4075 03:03:41.220 --> 03:03:43.740 action when we want to talk about the 4076 03:03:43.740 --> 03:03:45.540 earlier action so the thing that 4077 03:03:45.540 --> 03:03:48.060 happened earlier like more in the past 4078 03:03:48.060 --> 03:03:51.240 we use the past perfect tense then we 4079 03:03:51.240 --> 03:03:53.580 can use the simple past tense to explain 4080 03:03:53.580 --> 03:03:56.340 the action that happened closer to the 4081 03:03:56.340 --> 03:03:57.180 present 4082 03:03:57.180 --> 03:03:59.040 so for example 4083 03:03:59.040 --> 03:04:02.939 I had taken my lunch break when I saw 4084 03:04:02.939 --> 03:04:05.760 the delivery man came or something like 4085 03:04:05.760 --> 03:04:07.620 that so you can see my second point 4086 03:04:07.620 --> 03:04:09.120 there that's kind of a strange example 4087 03:04:09.120 --> 03:04:11.700 but you see that my second point there 4088 03:04:11.700 --> 03:04:14.459 uses the simple past tense I saw the 4089 03:04:14.459 --> 03:04:16.500 delivery man came so I had taken my 4090 03:04:16.500 --> 03:04:19.379 lunch break further in the past when I 4091 03:04:19.379 --> 03:04:21.660 saw the delivery man came so that's 4092 03:04:21.660 --> 03:04:23.520 simple past tense so this is probably 4093 03:04:23.520 --> 03:04:26.279 more common in writing but it is used in 4094 03:04:26.279 --> 03:04:28.979 speaking as well too so this is what we 4095 03:04:28.979 --> 03:04:31.800 use a past perfect tense to do okay 4096 03:04:31.800 --> 03:04:33.479 let's move on then to another 4097 03:04:33.479 --> 03:04:36.140 challenging point a past perfect 4098 03:04:36.140 --> 03:04:39.080 continuous tense past perfect continuous 4099 03:04:39.080 --> 03:04:41.840 these These are sentences or questions 4100 03:04:41.840 --> 03:04:45.800 for actions that started in the past and 4101 03:04:45.800 --> 03:04:49.379 continued to like an unspecified point 4102 03:04:49.379 --> 03:04:51.600 in the past so the action has finished 4103 03:04:51.600 --> 03:04:55.020 as well that's a key difference with the 4104 03:04:55.020 --> 03:04:57.120 present perfect continuous with present 4105 03:04:57.120 --> 03:04:59.580 perfect continuous the action is 4106 03:04:59.580 --> 03:05:02.399 happening now still that behavior still 4107 03:05:02.399 --> 03:05:04.620 continues key point though with past 4108 03:05:04.620 --> 03:05:06.779 perfect continuous is that the action 4109 03:05:06.779 --> 03:05:09.600 started at some point in the past and 4110 03:05:09.600 --> 03:05:12.660 then continued and finished as well but 4111 03:05:12.660 --> 03:05:15.420 at some unspecified point so maybe we 4112 03:05:15.420 --> 03:05:17.399 don't know exactly when the action 4113 03:05:17.399 --> 03:05:20.160 finished but it's done it's complete so 4114 03:05:20.160 --> 03:05:22.260 let's look at an example 4115 03:05:22.260 --> 03:05:25.859 they had been waiting since 3 pm 4116 03:05:25.859 --> 03:05:29.580 so here they had been waiting this shows 4117 03:05:29.580 --> 03:05:32.580 us that there was some waiting period so 4118 03:05:32.580 --> 03:05:35.580 the The Waiting started at 3 P.M and the 4119 03:05:35.580 --> 03:05:37.020 waiting continued and continued and 4120 03:05:37.020 --> 03:05:39.600 continued we don't know when the waiting 4121 03:05:39.600 --> 03:05:42.060 finished but this grammar Point shows us 4122 03:05:42.060 --> 03:05:43.979 that the waiting has finished we're 4123 03:05:43.979 --> 03:05:46.319 finished waiting that's done we wanted 4124 03:05:46.319 --> 03:05:48.660 to talk only about this period of time 4125 03:05:48.660 --> 03:05:51.120 the people were waiting in the past so 4126 03:05:51.120 --> 03:05:53.040 this is the grammar point that we use to 4127 03:05:53.040 --> 03:05:54.740 talk about things that were happening 4128 03:05:54.740 --> 03:05:57.899 over a period of time in the past and 4129 03:05:57.899 --> 03:06:00.479 then finished so this is something again 4130 03:06:00.479 --> 03:06:02.459 we use when telling stories we're 4131 03:06:02.459 --> 03:06:04.800 showing a sequence of events actually 4132 03:06:04.800 --> 03:06:07.560 okay let's move along then to the last 4133 03:06:07.560 --> 03:06:09.779 group for today's lesson the future 4134 03:06:09.779 --> 03:06:11.939 tense future tense let's start with the 4135 03:06:11.939 --> 03:06:15.000 future simple tense future simple tense 4136 03:06:15.000 --> 03:06:18.000 this is for actions that are planned or 4137 03:06:18.000 --> 03:06:20.040 unplanned for the future 4138 03:06:20.040 --> 03:06:21.840 there are actually a lot of different 4139 03:06:21.840 --> 03:06:24.120 things we can do to make the future 4140 03:06:24.120 --> 03:06:26.580 simple tense some very common ways of 4141 03:06:26.580 --> 03:06:28.979 making future simple are through using 4142 03:06:28.979 --> 03:06:31.979 will and won't and going to and not 4143 03:06:31.979 --> 03:06:35.220 going to and earlier in this lesson I 4144 03:06:35.220 --> 03:06:37.200 mentioned using the continuous tense the 4145 03:06:37.200 --> 03:06:40.200 present continuous tense the ing form of 4146 03:06:40.200 --> 03:06:42.540 a verb to make statements about the 4147 03:06:42.540 --> 03:06:44.760 future also so there are many ways to 4148 03:06:44.760 --> 03:06:46.920 make a simple future statement let's 4149 03:06:46.920 --> 03:06:50.100 look at a couple of examples first I'll 4150 03:06:50.100 --> 03:06:52.439 have a glass of wine this uses will 4151 03:06:52.439 --> 03:06:55.439 aisle isle is the reduced form of I will 4152 03:06:55.439 --> 03:06:57.300 have a glass of wine that's a future 4153 03:06:57.300 --> 03:06:58.620 statement 4154 03:06:58.620 --> 03:07:01.620 also he's going to cook dinner in this 4155 03:07:01.620 --> 03:07:04.620 one I've used going to to express that 4156 03:07:04.620 --> 03:07:06.540 so these are just simple things about 4157 03:07:06.540 --> 03:07:08.700 planned or perhaps unplanned like he's 4158 03:07:08.700 --> 03:07:10.620 not going to cook dinner would be an 4159 03:07:10.620 --> 03:07:12.479 unplanned action in the future or 4160 03:07:12.479 --> 03:07:14.220 something that's not going to happen in 4161 03:07:14.220 --> 03:07:17.879 the future rather okay so let's go on to 4162 03:07:17.879 --> 03:07:20.459 the Future continuous tense now future 4163 03:07:20.459 --> 03:07:22.020 continuous tense 4164 03:07:22.020 --> 03:07:25.800 this is for actions you think uh will or 4165 03:07:25.800 --> 03:07:29.459 will not be continuing in the future in 4166 03:07:29.459 --> 03:07:31.500 the future something you think will be 4167 03:07:31.500 --> 03:07:33.840 continuously happening in the future 4168 03:07:33.840 --> 03:07:36.240 let's look at an example 4169 03:07:36.240 --> 03:07:40.260 I'm not going to be working at company a 4170 03:07:40.260 --> 03:07:42.720 I'm not going to be working at company a 4171 03:07:42.720 --> 03:07:46.379 so here you can see we have going to I'm 4172 03:07:46.379 --> 03:07:50.220 not going to plus we have a verb in the 4173 03:07:50.220 --> 03:07:53.100 continuous tense I'm not going to be 4174 03:07:53.100 --> 03:07:55.979 working at company a meaning in other 4175 03:07:55.979 --> 03:07:58.319 words I'm not going to have a job at 4176 03:07:58.319 --> 03:08:01.140 company a or I'm not going to continue 4177 03:08:01.140 --> 03:08:04.080 my position at company a in the future 4178 03:08:04.080 --> 03:08:06.420 that's my thought now in the present 4179 03:08:06.420 --> 03:08:09.240 about the future so at that time in the 4180 03:08:09.240 --> 03:08:12.060 future like in one year for example I 4181 03:08:12.060 --> 03:08:14.520 will not be working at that company or 4182 03:08:14.520 --> 03:08:16.920 I'm not going to be working at company a 4183 03:08:16.920 --> 03:08:19.560 so that's the idea behind the future 4184 03:08:19.560 --> 03:08:22.620 continuous tense okay let's move along 4185 03:08:22.620 --> 03:08:26.220 to the future perfect tense then so so 4186 03:08:26.220 --> 03:08:28.680 future perfect tense refers to actions 4187 03:08:28.680 --> 03:08:31.620 that you think will have started some 4188 03:08:31.620 --> 03:08:33.840 point in the future so remember you're 4189 03:08:33.840 --> 03:08:36.779 thinking in the present right now but 4190 03:08:36.779 --> 03:08:39.000 this grammar point is used to talk about 4191 03:08:39.000 --> 03:08:42.300 something something you imagine in the 4192 03:08:42.300 --> 03:08:43.319 future 4193 03:08:43.319 --> 03:08:46.260 that starts at some point and you think 4194 03:08:46.260 --> 03:08:49.080 might be continuing into the future 4195 03:08:49.080 --> 03:08:50.720 maybe something 4196 03:08:50.720 --> 03:08:54.000 started and maybe continues this is the 4197 03:08:54.000 --> 03:08:57.300 idea here so let's look at an example 4198 03:08:57.300 --> 03:09:01.920 uh I will have lived in China for two 4199 03:09:01.920 --> 03:09:05.160 years I will have lived in China so here 4200 03:09:05.160 --> 03:09:07.740 I'm using will to show it's a future 4201 03:09:07.740 --> 03:09:11.580 tense statement I will Plus have lived 4202 03:09:11.580 --> 03:09:14.340 this is the same thing that we use for 4203 03:09:14.340 --> 03:09:17.160 the present perfect tense that we talked 4204 03:09:17.160 --> 03:09:19.560 about earlier that past participle Plus 4205 03:09:19.560 --> 03:09:22.439 have or has but we're attaching it to a 4206 03:09:22.439 --> 03:09:25.859 future tense will I will have lived in 4207 03:09:25.859 --> 03:09:28.620 China for two years so when would we use 4208 03:09:28.620 --> 03:09:31.620 this so if for example someone asks you 4209 03:09:31.620 --> 03:09:34.379 a question about your future and they 4210 03:09:34.379 --> 03:09:37.260 say like hmm so where do you see 4211 03:09:37.260 --> 03:09:40.920 yourself in like 2020 for example or 4212 03:09:40.920 --> 03:09:42.899 where do you imagine you're going to 4213 03:09:42.899 --> 03:09:45.959 live in 2020 for example you can say oh 4214 03:09:45.959 --> 03:09:49.439 I will have lived in China for two years 4215 03:09:49.439 --> 03:09:54.180 so meaning at that time in 2020 I will 4216 03:09:54.180 --> 03:09:57.000 have lived in China for two years so 4217 03:09:57.000 --> 03:10:00.420 that means not now but in the future at 4218 03:10:00.420 --> 03:10:03.420 that point in time in the future I will 4219 03:10:03.420 --> 03:10:06.660 have started Living in China and that 4220 03:10:06.660 --> 03:10:08.939 will have continued for two years so 4221 03:10:08.939 --> 03:10:10.319 that's what that means that's a guess 4222 03:10:10.319 --> 03:10:12.779 about the future a future time period 4223 03:10:12.779 --> 03:10:15.540 that something will have continued in 4224 03:10:15.540 --> 03:10:18.060 the future so again quite a challenging 4225 03:10:18.060 --> 03:10:20.459 grammar point but something definitely 4226 03:10:20.459 --> 03:10:23.220 to look into so again not used perhaps 4227 03:10:23.220 --> 03:10:25.979 as much as the present perfect tense but 4228 03:10:25.979 --> 03:10:28.379 great for storytelling and for imagining 4229 03:10:28.379 --> 03:10:31.560 your future too okay so let's move on to 4230 03:10:31.560 --> 03:10:34.200 the last point for today's lesson the 4231 03:10:34.200 --> 03:10:36.899 future perfect continuous tense future 4232 03:10:36.899 --> 03:10:40.140 perfect continuous this is a tense that 4233 03:10:40.140 --> 03:10:42.840 you use similar to the last one but for 4234 03:10:42.840 --> 03:10:45.479 actions you think will or won't have 4235 03:10:45.479 --> 03:10:49.319 started and will be continuing so 4236 03:10:49.319 --> 03:10:52.260 something that's going to have started 4237 03:10:52.260 --> 03:10:54.240 again in the future something started 4238 03:10:54.240 --> 03:10:56.700 and the action will have continued into 4239 03:10:56.700 --> 03:10:59.939 the future example I won't have been 4240 03:10:59.939 --> 03:11:02.819 eating meat for three months I won't 4241 03:11:02.819 --> 03:11:04.379 have been eating meat for three months 4242 03:11:04.379 --> 03:11:06.979 so for this one let's imagine 4243 03:11:06.979 --> 03:11:09.720 that you decided last month to stop 4244 03:11:09.720 --> 03:11:12.240 eating meat so that's fine actually for 4245 03:11:12.240 --> 03:11:14.040 this for this sentence that's okay you 4246 03:11:14.040 --> 03:11:16.439 made a decision last month to stop 4247 03:11:16.439 --> 03:11:17.819 eating meat 4248 03:11:17.819 --> 03:11:21.120 then someone asks you about your 4249 03:11:21.120 --> 03:11:23.819 progress like how's it going like what 4250 03:11:23.819 --> 03:11:26.700 are you going to do next month and you 4251 03:11:26.700 --> 03:11:29.459 can say to yourself hmm well at that 4252 03:11:29.459 --> 03:11:31.800 point next month by next month in the 4253 03:11:31.800 --> 03:11:35.459 future you can use this sentence I won't 4254 03:11:35.459 --> 03:11:39.420 so won't negative will not I won't have 4255 03:11:39.420 --> 03:11:42.779 been eating meat for three months for 4256 03:11:42.779 --> 03:11:44.879 three months so that means from the 4257 03:11:44.879 --> 03:11:47.120 point in time I started it in the past 4258 03:11:47.120 --> 03:11:50.939 until this point in the future so not 4259 03:11:50.939 --> 03:11:53.840 present but into the future 4260 03:11:53.840 --> 03:11:58.379 this entire time my behavior not eating 4261 03:11:58.379 --> 03:12:01.859 meat that's going to have continued so 4262 03:12:01.859 --> 03:12:04.200 you're making a guess about the future 4263 03:12:04.200 --> 03:12:07.319 so at this future point in time that 4264 03:12:07.319 --> 03:12:09.600 behavior I started in the past will have 4265 03:12:09.600 --> 03:12:11.580 continued and continued and continued 4266 03:12:11.580 --> 03:12:13.800 and at this point it will be three 4267 03:12:13.800 --> 03:12:15.899 months three months total for that 4268 03:12:15.899 --> 03:12:18.240 behavior so we use this to talk about 4269 03:12:18.240 --> 03:12:21.240 something some future thing that will 4270 03:12:21.240 --> 03:12:24.180 have continued or will be continuing 4271 03:12:24.180 --> 03:12:26.879 into the future so we'll have continued 4272 03:12:26.879 --> 03:12:28.740 meaning something that started in the 4273 03:12:28.740 --> 03:12:31.620 past and continues into the future or 4274 03:12:31.620 --> 03:12:34.319 will be continuing meaning it's still 4275 03:12:34.319 --> 03:12:37.620 going into the future as well so there 4276 03:12:37.620 --> 03:12:39.660 are a couple of like very very subtle 4277 03:12:39.660 --> 03:12:41.819 grammar points to consider there too so 4278 03:12:41.819 --> 03:12:43.500 that those are a couple of maybe tough 4279 03:12:43.500 --> 03:12:45.660 grammar points but they're really good 4280 03:12:45.660 --> 03:12:47.459 for storytelling and for talking about 4281 03:12:47.459 --> 03:12:50.700 your future as well okay so I know that 4282 03:12:50.700 --> 03:12:52.740 this was a

sorry about that 4363 03:16:43.740 --> 03:16:46.859 sorry about that 4364 03:16:46.859 --> 03:16:49.560 in general this expression when used to 4365 03:16:49.560 --> 03:16:52.140 respond to excuse me shows a friendly 4366 03:16:52.140 --> 03:16:54.420 willingness to help the other person 4367 03:16:54.420 --> 03:16:56.879 in this case Henry wanted to show he was 4368 03:16:56.879 --> 03:16:59.279 happy to move out of gustavo's way 4369 03:16:59.279 --> 03:17:01.620 you can also use it to apologize for a 4370 03:17:01.620 --> 03:17:03.479 small mistake like bumping into someone 4371 03:17:03.479 --> 03:17:05.399 on the street or blocking someone's way 4372 03:17:05.399 --> 03:17:07.379 in the aisle of a supermarket 4373 03:17:07.379 --> 03:17:09.660 now you try say Henry's line after 4374 03:17:09.660 --> 03:17:12.060 Gustavo speaks 4375 03:17:12.060 --> 03:17:14.839 excuse me 4376 03:17:19.800 --> 03:17:22.080 sorry about that 4377 03:17:22.080 --> 03:17:24.779 later Gustavo also used the word sorry 4378 03:17:24.779 --> 03:17:26.580 to apologize when he didn't understand 4379 03:17:26.580 --> 03:17:30.359 Henry's name which phrase did he use 4380 03:17:30.359 --> 03:17:32.399 I'm sorry 4381 03:17:32.399 --> 03:17:34.140 I'm sorry 4382 03:17:34.140 --> 03:17:36.180 this is a very common phrase in English 4383 03:17:36.180 --> 03:17:38.879 from many situations but here Gustavo 4384 03:17:38.879 --> 03:17:40.500 uses it to indicate he didn't understand 4385 03:17:40.500 --> 03:17:41.879 something 4386 03:17:41.879 --> 03:17:44.640 now you try say the line after Henry 4387 03:17:44.640 --> 03:17:46.080 speaks 4388 03:17:46.080 --> 03:17:49.520 I'm Henry Eddins 4389 03:17:54.180 --> 03:17:56.220 I'm sorry 4390 03:17:56.220 --> 03:17:57.899 because Gustavo did not understand 4391 03:17:57.899 --> 03:18:00.300 something he asked Henry to repeat what 4392 03:18:00.300 --> 03:18:02.819 he said to do this what polite question 4393 03:18:02.819 --> 03:18:04.680 did he use 4394 03:18:04.680 --> 03:18:07.740 can you say that again please 4395 03:18:07.740 --> 03:18:12.000 can you say that again please 4396 03:18:12.000 --> 03:18:14.399 in response English speakers will 4397 03:18:14.399 --> 03:18:16.200 usually repeat what they have said and 4398 03:18:16.200 --> 03:18:18.120 will use the same words 4399 03:18:18.120 --> 03:18:20.220 now you try ask the question after 4400 03:18:20.220 --> 03:18:23.040 Gustavo says I'm sorry 4401 03:18:23.040 --> 03:18:25.760 I'm sorry 4402 03:18:30.600 --> 03:18:33.720 can you say that again please 4403 03:18:33.720 --> 03:18:36.060 Gustavo also wanted Henry to speak more 4404 03:18:36.060 --> 03:18:39.660 slowly to do this what does he ask 4405 03:18:39.660 --> 03:18:41.879 a bit slowly 4406 03:18:41.879 --> 03:18:44.459 a bit slowly 4407 03:18:44.459 --> 03:18:46.800 this is not a complete sentence but has 4408 03:18:46.800 --> 03:18:49.140 a clear meaning when used after can you 4409 03:18:49.140 --> 03:18:50.580 say that again please 4410 03:18:50.580 --> 03:18:52.979 in response English speakers will slow 4411 03:18:52.979 --> 03:18:54.600 their speech down 4412 03:18:54.600 --> 03:18:57.540 now you try say the phrase after Gustavo 4413 03:18:57.540 --> 03:19:00.720 says can you say that again please 4414 03:19:00.720 --> 03:19:04.340 can you say that again please 4415 03:19:09.180 --> 03:19:11.399 a bit slowly 4416 03:19:11.399 --> 03:19:14.160 after Gustavo said Henry's name Henry 4417 03:19:14.160 --> 03:19:16.319 confirmed he said it correctly how did 4418 03:19:16.319 --> 03:19:17.879 he do that 4419 03:19:17.879 --> 03:19:19.800 that's it 4420 03:19:19.800 --> 03:19:21.660 that's it 4421 03:19:21.660 --> 03:19:24.540 this is like saying that's correct but 4422 03:19:24.540 --> 03:19:26.760 since the situation was friendly that's 4423 03:19:26.760 --> 03:19:29.100 it sounded more natural 4424 03:19:29.100 --> 03:19:31.920 now you try say the phrase after Gustavo 4425 03:19:31.920 --> 03:19:34.200 says Henry's name correctly 4426 03:19:34.200 --> 03:19:37.760 Henry Eddins 4427 03:19:42.479 --> 03:19:45.200 that's it 4428 03:19:45.840 --> 03:19:48.479 now the lesson Focus here's how to 4429 03:19:48.479 --> 03:19:50.040 introduce yourself 4430 03:19:50.040 --> 03:19:52.520 ready 4431 03:19:53.700 --> 03:19:55.620 do you remember how Gustavo introduced 4432 03:19:55.620 --> 03:19:57.420 himself 4433 03:19:57.420 --> 03:20:02.040 hi how do you do I'm Gustavo 4434 03:20:02.040 --> 03:20:04.379 when Gustavo introduced himself he 4435 03:20:04.379 --> 03:20:07.020 started with Hi and then used a set 4436 03:20:07.020 --> 03:20:09.060 phrase 4437 03:20:09.060 --> 03:20:11.700 how do you do 4438 03:20:11.700 --> 03:20:15.420 how do you do 4439 03:20:15.420 --> 03:20:17.819 this is a polite expression people often 4440 03:20:17.819 --> 03:20:20.040 use with an introduction it sounds like 4441 03:20:20.040 --> 03:20:22.020 a question but it has no particular 4442 03:20:22.020 --> 03:20:24.000 meaning and there's no expectation the 4443 03:20:24.000 --> 03:20:26.640 other person will try to answer it 4444 03:20:26.640 --> 03:20:29.220 next he says 4445 03:20:29.220 --> 03:20:31.560 I'm Gustavo 4446 03:20:31.560 --> 03:20:33.300 the first part of this sentence is a 4447 03:20:33.300 --> 03:20:36.779 contraction of two words I and am the am 4448 03:20:36.779 --> 03:20:39.060 here functions like an equal sign in 4449 03:20:39.060 --> 03:20:40.620 math 4450 03:20:40.620 --> 03:20:43.100 I'm 4451 03:20:43.439 --> 03:20:46.819 the next word in the sentence is a name 4452 03:20:46.819 --> 03:20:48.660 Gustavo 4453 03:20:48.660 --> 03:20:50.399 together it's 4454 03:20:50.399 --> 03:20:52.800 I'm Gustavo 4455 03:20:52.800 --> 03:20:55.140 the structure of the pattern is 4456 03:20:55.140 --> 03:20:57.720 hi how do you do I'm 4457 03:20:57.720 --> 03:21:00.240 plus your name 4458 03:21:00.240 --> 03:21:02.879 now you try imagine your name is John 4459 03:21:02.879 --> 03:21:08.839 say hi how do you do I'm John 4460 03:21:13.379 --> 03:21:17.399 hi how do you do I'm John 4461 03:21:17.399 --> 03:21:21.060 now imagine your name is eichel say hi 4462 03:21:21.060 --> 03:21:25.700 how do you do I'm Aiko 4463 03:21:30.240 --> 03:21:34.200 hi how do you do I'm ikel 4464 03:21:34.200 --> 03:21:37.700 now use your name 4465 03:21:42.060 --> 03:21:44.700 okay there are two additional things you 4466 03:21:44.700 --> 03:21:47.100 need to know first there's a shortcut 4467 03:21:47.100 --> 03:21:48.779 for giving your name 4468 03:21:48.779 --> 03:21:50.640 just drop the I'm from the final 4469 03:21:50.640 --> 03:21:53.100 sentence of the self-introduction 4470 03:21:53.100 --> 03:21:56.640 for example if Gustavo just said 4471 03:21:56.640 --> 03:22:00.060 hi how do you do Gustavo 4472 03:22:00.060 --> 03:22:01.920 Henry would have understood it was his 4473 03:22:01.920 --> 03:22:02.939 name 4474 03:22:02.939 --> 03:22:04.740 this would be especially clear if 4475 03:22:04.740 --> 03:22:06.479 Gustavo extended his hand for a 4476 03:22:06.479 --> 03:22:08.700 handshake while saying this 4477 03:22:08.700 --> 03:22:11.279 in very casual situations you can even 4478 03:22:11.279 --> 03:22:15.120 drop the hi and the how do you do 4479 03:22:15.120 --> 03:22:17.819 all that is left would be your name 4480 03:22:17.819 --> 03:22:20.040 the second thing you need to know is you 4481 03:22:20.040 --> 03:22:22.800 can use I'm with just the first name or 4482 03:22:22.800 --> 03:22:24.240 your first name and the last name 4483 03:22:24.240 --> 03:22:25.800 together 4484 03:22:25.800 --> 03:22:28.379 I'm Henry Eddins 4485 03:22:28.379 --> 03:22:31.260 Edens is Henry's family name 4486 03:22:31.260 --> 03:22:33.479 using both your first name and your last 4487 03:22:33.479 --> 03:22:35.700 name is a little more formal 4488 03:22:35.700 --> 03:22:38.220 it also gives you less privacy for 4489 03:22:38.220 --> 03:22:40.140 example if people know both your first 4490 03:22:40.140 --> 03:22:42.240 and last name they can find you on the 4491 03:22:42.240 --> 03:22:44.040 internet more easily 4492 03:22:44.040 --> 03:22:46.319 so it may be more common for strangers 4493 03:22:46.319 --> 03:22:48.000 to say just their first name than people 4494 03:22:48.000 --> 03:22:50.580 meeting in a more friendly environment 4495 03:22:50.580 --> 03:22:52.979 next you'll learn how to tell people to 4496 03:22:52.979 --> 03:22:54.899 call you by a nickname just like Henry 4497 03:22:54.899 --> 03:22:57.000 did in the scene 4498 03:22:57.000 --> 03:22:59.640 but please call me Hank 4499 03:22:59.640 --> 03:23:03.060 but please call me Hank 4500

03:23:11.100 the transition to the rest of the 4504 03:23:11.100 --> 03:23:12.660 sentence smoother 4505 03:23:12.660 --> 03:23:14.760 Henry uses this to introduce a new piece 4506 03:23:14.760 --> 03:23:16.200 of information 4507 03:23:16.200 --> 03:23:18.120 and this information changes something 4508 03:23:18.120 --> 03:23:19.859 about what he said before 4509 03:23:19.859 --> 03:23:22.379 but makes this clear 4510 03:23:22.379 --> 03:23:24.180 the next word introduces a polite 4511 03:23:24.180 --> 03:23:25.500 request 4512 03:23:25.500 --> 03:23:27.060 please 4513 03:23:27.060 -->
