38 00:01:23.340 --> 00:01:25.680 hi everybody welcome back to ask Alicia 39 00:01:25.680 --> 00:01:27.540 the weekly series where you ask me 40 00:01:27.540 --> 00:01:29.938 questions and I answer them maybe let's 41 00:01:29.938 --> 00:01:31.438 get to your first question this week 42 00:01:31.438 --> 00:01:33.060 first question this week comes from 43 00:01:33.060 --> 00:01:35.340 bodan hi bodan I hope I said your name 44 00:01:35.340 --> 00:01:37.920 correctly butan says hi Alicia you've 45 00:01:37.920 --> 00:01:39.540 been teaching me for the last half year 46 00:01:39.540 --> 00:01:42.060 cool I want to ask you about the 47 00:01:42.060 --> 00:01:45.020 contraction of the word wood with nouns 48 00:01:45.020 --> 00:01:47.880 sometimes I hear that we can use catted 49 00:01:47.880 --> 00:01:51.420 instead of cat wood or lessened instead 50 00:01:51.420 --> 00:01:53.640 of lessen wood but I can't find any 51 00:01:53.640 --> 00:01:55.140 information about this can you explain 52 00:01:55.140 --> 00:01:58.740 it to me sure yeah absolutely so we can 53 00:01:58.740 --> 00:02:02.220 contract wood to just apostrophe D so 54 00:02:02.220 --> 00:02:03.960 for example when we have an expression 55 00:02:03.960 --> 00:02:06.479 like I would like we can contract this 56 00:02:06.479 --> 00:02:09.840 to I'd like right as you suggest in your 57 00:02:09.840 --> 00:02:12.239 question we can also use this with other 58 00:02:12.239 --> 00:02:14.580 nouns so for example you talked about 59 00:02:14.580 --> 00:02:17.400 cat wood and that's perfectly okay so 60 00:02:17.400 --> 00:02:19.800 the cat had loved that treat or the 61 00:02:19.800 --> 00:02:22.379 lesson it'd be over by now we can also 62 00:02:22.379 --> 00:02:24.599 use these contract it forms with other 63 00:02:24.599 --> 00:02:27.180 nouns is totally fine to do this so the 64 00:02:27.180 --> 00:02:30.360 answer is yes you can use I would or 65 00:02:30.360 --> 00:02:33.239 noun would as a contraction just using 66 00:02:33.239 --> 00:02:35.340 apostrophe D that's totally fine to do 67 00:02:35.340 --> 00:02:37.560 it's very natural actually to do this so 68 00:02:37.560 --> 00:02:39.360 just keep in mind that although it's 69 00:02:39.360 --> 00:02:42.239 very natural and very common to use noun 70 00:02:42.239 --> 00:02:45.720 plus would as noun apostrophe D there's 71 00:02:45.720 --> 00:02:48.000 another apostrophe D to be careful of 72 00:02:48.000 --> 00:02:49.680 when you're reading and when you're 73 00:02:49.680 --> 00:02:52.260 speaking and that's when had is used in 74 00:02:52.260 --> 00:02:54.780 the reduced form we see this in patterns 75 00:02:54.780 --> 00:02:58.260 like subject had been so for example I 76 00:02:58.260 --> 00:03:01.560 had been or she had been in these cases 77 00:03:01.560 --> 00:03:04.440 had is reduced to apostrophe D just as 78 00:03:04.440 --> 00:03:06.780 we talked about earlier with wood this 79 00:03:06.780 --> 00:03:10.860 sounds like I'd been or she'd been so a 80 00:03:10.860 --> 00:03:12.720 very common question is how do I know 81 00:03:12.720 --> 00:03:14.580 the difference between the reduced forms 82 00:03:14.580 --> 00:03:17.220 how do I know if it's I would or I had 83 00:03:17.220 --> 00:03:19.620 and the answer is to look at the word 84 00:03:19.620 --> 00:03:22.680 that comes after the contraction when we 85 00:03:22.680 --> 00:03:26.040 use the noun wood pattern the word that 86 00:03:26.040 --> 00:03:28.560 comes after this is a verb in the 87 00:03:28.560 --> 00:03:32.519 infinitive form so for example I'd go or 88 00:03:32.519 --> 00:03:35.819 she'd sit and so on the verb is in the 89 00:03:35.819 --> 00:03:37.319 infinitive form so that means the base 90 00:03:37.319 --> 00:03:39.239 form there's no change to the verb there 91 00:03:39.239 --> 00:03:42.120 on the other hand when we use this had 92 00:03:42.120 --> 00:03:44.459 in the reduced form the verb that 93 00:03:44.459 --> 00:03:46.319 follows it is a verb in the past 94 00:03:46.319 --> 00:03:49.379 participle form so for example I had 95 00:03:49.379 --> 00:03:53.040 been or she had eaten and so on so the 96 00:03:53.040 --> 00:03:54.780 verb that follows the contraction is 97 00:03:54.780 --> 00:03:56.400 what's telling you the hint it's what's 98 00:03:56.400 --> 00:03:58.920 telling you which form of apostrophe D 99 00:03:58.920 --> 00:04:01.080 you're looking at this may take a little 100 00:04:01.080 --> 00:04:03.180 bit of time to get used to especially in 101 00:04:03.180 --> 00:04:05.159 speech but that's okay this will become 102 00:04:05.159 --> 00:04:07.019 more natural as you practice so a good 103 00:04:07.019 --> 00:04:09.000 way to do this is to keep an eye out for 104 00:04:09.000 --> 00:04:11.400 this contraction when you are reading so 105 00:04:11.400 --> 00:04:13.500 I hope this helps you understand how to 106 00:04:13.500 --> 00:04:16.440 use this apostrophe D for wood and for 107 00:04:16.440 --> 00:04:18.299 had thanks very much for an interesting 108 00:04:18.299 --> 00:04:19.919 question let's move on to your next 109 00:04:19.919 --> 00:04:22.620 question next question comes from Hassan 110 00:04:22.620 --> 00:04:24.900 hi Hassan and Hassan says what is the 111 00:04:24.900 --> 00:04:26.940 difference between stationary with an A 112 00:04:26.940 --> 00:04:29.940 and stationery with an e thank you okay 113 00:04:29.940 --> 00:04:31.680 yeah great really interesting question 114 00:04:31.680 --> 00:04:34.139 stationary with an A and stationary with 115 00:04:34.139 --> 00:04:36.900 an E let's talk about stationery with an 116 00:04:36.900 --> 00:04:40.020 E first stationary with an E refers to 117 00:04:40.020 --> 00:04:43.979 things like paper pens ink envelopes and 118 00:04:43.979 --> 00:04:46.979 so on that we use to create kind of nice 119 00:04:46.979 --> 00:04:49.139 letters or maybe we use them for like 120 00:04:49.139 --> 00:04:51.360 official documents or something kind of 121 00:04:51.360 --> 00:04:53.759 formal so generally when we write 122 00:04:53.759 --> 00:04:56.040 someone a note or maybe we're at home 123 00:04:56.040 --> 00:04:57.660 just taking some kind of information 124 00:04:57.660 --> 00:05:00.240 down on the phone we just use plain old 125 00:05:00.240 --> 00:05:03.300 paper and pens right but another way to 126 00:05:03.300 --> 00:05:06.240 understand this is as stationary the 127 00:05:06.240 --> 00:05:08.639 things that we use to write our letters 128 00:05:08.639 --> 00:05:11.580 to write our notes and so on when we use 129 00:05:11.580 --> 00:05:13.860 the word stationary we can use it to 130 00:05:13.860 --> 00:05:15.720 talk about kind of like office supplies 131 00:05:15.720 --> 00:05:17.580 sometimes but a lot of the time 132 00:05:17.580 --> 00:05:20.220 stationery refers to kind of nice things 133 00:05:20.220 --> 00:05:22.800 that we use for letters and for other 134 00:05:22.800 --> 00:05:25.860 such situations so for example you might 135 00:05:25.860 --> 00:05:28.500 hear about matching stationery that 136 00:05:28.500 --> 00:05:31.259 refers to paper and envelopes that come 137 00:05:31.259 --> 00:05:33.000 as kind of a set there's like a special 138 00:05:33.000 --> 00:05:35.940 design on the envelope that matches the 139 00:05:35.940 --> 00:05:37.979 special design of the paper so when the 140 00:05:37.979 --> 00:05:40.139 person receives the letter in this case 141 00:05:40.139 --> 00:05:42.180 it looks very formal it looks 142 00:05:42.180 --> 00:05:44.460 beautifully designed so we often think 143 00:05:44.460 --> 00:05:46.440 of this when we think about stationery 144 00:05:46.440 --> 00:05:48.539 so maybe you use this very special pen 145 00:05:48.539 --> 00:05:50.639 to write something in a beautiful way 146 00:05:50.639 --> 00:05:53.880 and so on so this is stationary with an 147 00:05:53.880 --> 00:05:55.560 E this refers to these kinds of 148 00:05:55.560 --> 00:05:58.080 materials and tools that we use for 149 00:05:58.080 --> 00:05:59.520 generally kind of formal or maybe 150 00:05:59.520 --> 00:06:02.880 special occasion communication on the 151 00:06:02.880 --> 00:06:05.940 other hand stationary with an a refers 152 00:06:05.940 --> 00:06:08.580 to something that is not moving so for 153 00:06:08.580 --> 00:06:10.560 example if you're in a car it stopped in 154 00:06:10.560 --> 00:06:13.020 traffic you can say I'm stationary right 155 00:06:13.020 --> 00:06:15.240 now so that means you are not moving in 156 00:06:15.240 --> 00:06:17.279 any direction something that is in the 157 00:06:17.279 --> 00:06:20.520 state of not moving is stationary simply 158 00:06:20.520 --> 00:06:23.039 stationary with an a refers to something 159 00:06:23.039 --> 00:06:25.919 that is not moving so your car when 160 00:06:25.919 --> 00:06:29.100 stopped is stationary or maybe when you 161 00:06:29.100 --> 00:06:31.080 are walking through an airport and you 162 00:06:31.080 --> 00:06:32.759 need to stop for a moment you are 163 00:06:32.759 --> 00:06:34.979 stationary so that means that you are 164 00:06:34.979 --> 00:06:36.720 not moving something is in the condition 165 00:06:36.720 --> 00:06:39.600 of being stopped so we call this 166 00:06:39.600 --> 00:06:42.180 stationary so these are two very very 167 00:06:42.180 --> 00:06:44.819 different terms for sure so be aware 168 00:06:44.819 --> 00:06:46.620 that when you're talking about writing 169 00:06:46.620 --> 00:06:48.960 and those kinds of materials we use 170 00:06:48.960 --> 00:06:51.419 stationery with an E when you're talking 171 00:06:51.419 --> 00:06:53.400 about the condition of being stopped we 172 00:06:53.400 --> 00:06:55.560 use stationary with an a I hope this 173 00:06:55.560 --> 00:06:57.120 answers your question thanks very much 174 00:06:57.120 --> 00:06:59.160 for sending it along okay let's move on 175 00:06:59.160 --> 00:07:01.259 to your next question next question is 176 00:07:01.259 --> 00:07:04.199 from Rohit Soni hi Rohit Rohit says 177 00:07:04.199 --> 00:07:05.880 what's the correct pronunciation of the 178 00:07:05.880 --> 00:07:09.840 should we say it like uh or like e the 179 00:07:09.840 --> 00:07:12.960 or the ah the answer is both actually so 180 00:07:12.960 --> 00:07:15.060 generally when we're just talking in 181 00:07:15.060 --> 00:07:16.979 everyday speech we don't want to put any 182 00:07:16.979 --> 00:07:19.319 special emphasis on the noun that comes 183 00:07:19.319 --> 00:07:22.620 after this word we just say the the so 184 00:07:22.620 --> 00:07:24.539 for example well I went to the movie 185 00:07:24.539 --> 00:07:27.360 theater or I saw that on the computer 186 00:07:27.360 --> 00:07:30.180 today when we're not trying to kind of 187 00:07:30.180 --> 00:07:33.000 indicate some special emphasis we use 188 00:07:33.000 --> 00:07:37.199 the generally V is used when we want to 189 00:07:37.199 --> 00:07:39.660 indicate some kind of special emphasis 190 00:07:39.660 --> 00:07:42.240 for something so maybe you're trying to 191 00:07:42.240 --> 00:07:43.979 make a decision between a couple of 192 00:07:43.979 --> 00:07:46.500 different things for example and maybe 193 00:07:46.500 --> 00:07:48.840 you think to yourself ah this is the 194 00:07:48.840 --> 00:07:51.539 choice for me like you want to emphasize 195 00:07:51.539 --> 00:07:53.699 something about that item or something 196 00:07:53.699 --> 00:07:56.340 about your decision you might use V 197 00:07:56.340 --> 00:07:59.460 instead of the to do that so both 198 00:07:59.460 --> 00:08:01.979 pronunciations are 100 correct and 199 00:08:01.979 --> 00:08:04.199 they're both totally natural to use but 200 00:08:04.199 --> 00:08:06.900 if you use the the pronunciation all the 201 00:08:06.900 --> 00:08:08.580 time it's going to sound really weird 202 00:08:08.580 --> 00:08:12.539 I'm using the the pronunciation in these 203 00:08:12.539 --> 00:08:15.840 cases because I'm trying to emphasize V 204 00:08:15.840 --> 00:08:18.240 in this case I'm trying to emphasize the 205 00:08:18.240 --> 00:08:19.379 difference between the two 206 00:08:19.379 --> 00:08:21.840 pronunciations so if you're having kind 207 00:08:21.840 --> 00:08:23.580 of a hard time trying to think about 208 00:08:23.580 --> 00:08:25.440 this like oh my gosh how do I know when 209 00:08:25.440 --> 00:08:27.599 to emphasize a word how do I know when I 210 00:08:27.599 --> 00:08:28.979 shouldn't emphasize a word what does 211 00:08:28.979 --> 00:08:31.259 this even sound like maybe an exercise 212 00:08:31.259 --> 00:08:33.419 that you can try is just to go back and 213 00:08:33.419 --> 00:08:35.219 watch this video or watch any other 214 00:08:35.219 --> 00:08:37.500 episode of ask Alicia and try to listen 215 00:08:37.500 --> 00:08:40.260 for the times when I use the and the 216 00:08:40.260 --> 00:08:43.260 times when I use the chances are that 217 00:08:43.260 --> 00:08:46.500 when I use the V pronunciation as I just 218 00:08:46.500 --> 00:08:49.200 did I'm trying to emphasize or kind of 219 00:08:49.200 --> 00:08:52.320 highlight the word that follows my the 220 00:08:52.320 --> 00:08:55.440 pronunciation when I use the I'm 221 00:08:55.440 --> 00:08:57.000 probably just kind of continuing along 222 00:08:57.000 --> 00:08:59.100 in speech there's no special emphasis 223 00:08:59.100 --> 00:09:01.260 there so if you want to kind of look for 224 00:09:01.260 --> 00:09:03.179 an easy way to practice you can just use 225 00:09:03.179 --> 00:09:05.458 these videos and try to find out like is 226 00:09:05.458 --> 00:09:08.040 she using B here or the there and why 227 00:09:08.040 --> 00:09:10.320 probably it's for emphasis or to help 228 00:09:10.320 --> 00:09:12.779 that next word stand out a little bit 229 00:09:12.779 --> 00:09:15.240 from the other information so to answer 230 00:09:15.240 --> 00:09:17.220 your question both pronunciations are 231 00:09:17.220 --> 00:09:18.839 totally correct we just use them in 232 00:09:18.839 --> 00:09:20.700 slightly different ways to kind of show 233 00:09:20.700 --> 00:09:22.440 a little bit more emphasis here and 234 00:09:22.440 --> 00:09:24.240 there so thanks very much for sending 235 00:09:24.240 --> 00:09:26.339 this question along all right that is 236 00:09:26.339 --> 00:09:28.260 everything that I have for this week hi 237 00:09:28.260 --> 00:09:30.240 everybody welcome back to ask Alicia the 238 00:09:30.240 --> 00:09:31.980 weekly series where you ask me questions 239 00:09:31.980 --> 00:09:34.500 and I answer them maybe let's get to 240 00:09:34.500 --> 00:09:36.179 your first question this week first 241 00:09:36.179 --> 00:09:39.059 question this week comes from okay sinon 242 00:09:39.059 --> 00:09:40.620 hi okay I hope I said your name right 243 00:09:40.620 --> 00:09:44.399 okay says award and reward have similar 244 00:09:44.399 --> 00:09:46.559 meanings what is the difference thank 245 00:09:46.559 --> 00:09:49.679 you great question award and reward 246 00:09:49.679 --> 00:09:52.380 these two words can be used as both 247 00:09:52.380 --> 00:09:55.320 nouns and verbs so let's break them down 248 00:09:55.320 --> 00:09:58.440 one by one first let's talk about reward 249 00:09:58.440 --> 00:10:02.279 let's talk about this as a noun a reward 250 00:10:02.279 --> 00:10:05.279 is something we get in return for doing 251 00:10:05.279 --> 00:10:07.740 something else so for example if you 252 00:10:07.740 --> 00:10:09.300 help your friend move into a new 253 00:10:09.300 --> 00:10:11.880 apartment they might give you a reward 254 00:10:11.880 --> 00:10:14.399 for example they might buy you pizza or 255 00:10:14.399 --> 00:10:16.080 they might buy you something or give you 256 00:10:16.080 --> 00:10:18.660 some money even perhaps in exchange for 257 00:10:18.660 --> 00:10:21.899 helping them we can understand this as a 258 00:10:21.899 --> 00:10:24.420 reward or for example if you see 259 00:10:24.420 --> 00:10:26.279 somebody posting like a missing sign 260 00:10:26.279 --> 00:10:28.679 like maybe someone's cat is missing it 261 00:10:28.679 --> 00:10:30.720 might say on that poster where they're 262 00:10:30.720 --> 00:10:32.279 talking about the details of their 263 00:10:32.279 --> 00:10:36.480 missing cat reward 100 so this means in 264 00:10:36.480 --> 00:10:38.580 exchange for finding my missing cat I 265 00:10:38.580 --> 00:10:40.800 will give you this money so we're 266 00:10:40.800 --> 00:10:43.559 talking about some kind of exchange of 267 00:10:43.559 --> 00:10:46.140 services or maybe some kind of exchange 268 00:10:46.140 --> 00:10:48.660 of goods I suppose in some cases but 269 00:10:48.660 --> 00:10:50.339 generally when we do something for 270 00:10:50.339 --> 00:10:52.740 someone else they might hopefully give 271 00:10:52.740 --> 00:10:55.500 us a reward in exchange for that thing 272 00:10:55.500 --> 00:10:58.679 we can use the verb form of reward in 273 00:10:58.679 --> 00:11:01.078 the same way so for example I found my 274 00:11:01.078 --> 00:11:03.600 neighbor's cat and he rewarded me with 275 00:11:03.600 --> 00:11:06.179 one hundred dollars or I helped my 276 00:11:06.179 --> 00:11:07.920 friend move into her new apartment and 277 00:11:07.920 --> 00:11:10.200 she rewarded me with pizza and beer it 278 00:11:10.200 --> 00:11:12.779 was a great time so we use reward to 279 00:11:12.779 --> 00:11:14.760 talk about these kinds of transactions 280 00:11:14.760 --> 00:11:16.679 right these kinds of doing good things 281 00:11:16.679 --> 00:11:18.660 in exchange for getting something else 282 00:11:18.660 --> 00:11:20.820 so whether or not you do the good thing 283 00:11:20.820 --> 00:11:22.440 just for the reward is a different 284 00:11:22.440 --> 00:11:24.779 conver conversation but this is what 285 00:11:24.779 --> 00:11:27.660 reward means let's compare this then to 286 00:11:27.660 --> 00:11:30.420 the word award so let's talk about this 287 00:11:30.420 --> 00:11:34.679 as a noun to begin with an award is not 288 00:11:34.679 --> 00:11:36.839 something that we get in exchange for 289 00:11:36.839 --> 00:11:38.220 something it's not something that's 290 00:11:38.220 --> 00:11:42.240 related to a transaction rather an award 291 00:11:42.240 --> 00:11:45.420 is usually given to somebody else as 292 00:11:45.420 --> 00:11:47.399 kind of a recognition that they've done 293 00:11:47.399 --> 00:11:49.620 something really great so there's some 294 00:11:49.620 --> 00:11:51.660 kind of excellent quality about this 295 00:11:51.660 --> 00:11:54.420 person so for example a top scientist 296 00:11:54.420 --> 00:11:57.420 might receive an award for his or her 297 00:11:57.420 --> 00:11:59.940 work or maybe at your workplace you 298 00:11:59.940 --> 00:12:02.339 might receive an award for excellent 299 00:12:02.339 --> 00:12:04.920 performance that month so the key with 300 00:12:04.920 --> 00:12:07.320 award is that there isn't really some 301 00:12:07.320 --> 00:12:09.720 kind of transaction it's rather some 302 00:12:09.720 --> 00:12:12.779 kind of recognition of a great job done 303 00:12:12.779 --> 00:12:15.360 you might also be familiar with Awards 304 00:12:15.360 --> 00:12:17.399 shows especially in the entertainment 305 00:12:17.399 --> 00:12:20.339 industry so actors and actresses often 306 00:12:20.339 --> 00:12:23.100 receive awards for their performances is 307 00:12:23.100 --> 00:12:25.380 they're receiving some kind of trophy or 308 00:12:25.380 --> 00:12:27.240 some other kind of maybe certificate 309 00:12:27.240 --> 00:12:29.399 that shows that other people think 310 00:12:29.399 --> 00:12:31.559 they're great so that's what an award 311 00:12:31.559 --> 00:12:34.320 essentially is so for example the 312 00:12:34.320 --> 00:12:36.958 actress was awarded an Oscar for her 313 00:12:36.958 --> 00:12:39.120 performance in the movie so an Oscar is 314 00:12:39.120 --> 00:12:41.760 a very very high level award for actors 315 00:12:41.760 --> 00:12:44.639 and actresses or for example I was 316 00:12:44.639 --> 00:12:47.458 awarded employee of the month at my job 317 00:12:47.458 --> 00:12:50.880 this month so we can use award as a verb 318 00:12:50.880 --> 00:12:52.980 or as a noun so the key difference here 319 00:12:52.980 --> 00:12:56.339 between award and reward is that award 320 00:12:56.339 --> 00:12:58.380 is used in situations where we're 321 00:12:58.380 --> 00:13:00.300 recognizing something great about 322 00:13:00.300 --> 00:13:02.880 someone else reward is used in 323 00:13:02.880 --> 00:13:04.440 situations where we're kind of talking 324 00:13:04.440 --> 00:13:06.600 about some kind of transaction someone 325 00:13:06.600 --> 00:13:08.760 does something in exchange for something 326 00:13:08.760 --> 00:13:10.980 else so I hope this helps you understand 327 00:13:10.980 --> 00:13:12.839 the difference between these two words 328 00:13:12.839 --> 00:13:14.220 thanks very much for an interesting 329 00:13:14.220 --> 00:13:16.200 question okay let's move along to your 330 00:13:16.200 --> 00:13:18.240 next question next question comes from 331 00:13:18.240 --> 00:13:21.360 Ginny hi Jenny Jenny says hi Alicia can 332 00:13:21.360 --> 00:13:24.000 you explain the word super glued I heard 333 00:13:24.000 --> 00:13:26.220 it from a conversation okay sure yeah 334 00:13:26.220 --> 00:13:29.279 super glued as a verb right past tense 335 00:13:29.279 --> 00:13:31.620 verb in this case so first let's talk 336 00:13:31.620 --> 00:13:34.260 about super glue as a noun what is super 337 00:13:34.260 --> 00:13:37.200 glue so if you don't know the word glue 338 00:13:37.200 --> 00:13:40.019 glue is a sticky material a sticky 339 00:13:40.019 --> 00:13:42.779 substance that we use to attach things 340 00:13:42.779 --> 00:13:45.480 to other things so for example if you're 341 00:13:45.480 --> 00:13:47.940 doing like a craft project you maybe 342 00:13:47.940 --> 00:13:50.519 will use glue to maybe put one piece of 343 00:13:50.519 --> 00:13:52.920 paper onto another and it stays there 344 00:13:52.920 --> 00:13:55.559 right it becomes hard and stays so this 345 00:13:55.559 --> 00:13:58.320 is glue basic glue is used by kids in 346 00:13:58.320 --> 00:14:00.420 schools to do arts and crafts projects 347 00:14:00.420 --> 00:14:03.059 super glue then is like the next level 348 00:14:03.059 --> 00:14:06.240 of glue so super glue is used to attach 349 00:14:06.240 --> 00:14:08.700 much tougher materials together so maybe 350 00:14:08.700 --> 00:14:11.760 wood for example or some kinds of fabric 351 00:14:11.760 --> 00:14:14.519 maybe so when we use super glue we can 352 00:14:14.519 --> 00:14:17.279 use this as a verb actually so although 353 00:14:17.279 --> 00:14:19.680 it's a noun super glue which refers to 354 00:14:19.680 --> 00:14:22.139 just like a mega type of glue we can 355 00:14:22.139 --> 00:14:25.740 also use the this as a verb so to Super 356 00:14:25.740 --> 00:14:28.680 Glue something means to use super glue 357 00:14:28.680 --> 00:14:31.380 to attach something to something else so 358 00:14:31.380 --> 00:14:33.480 in your question the word super glued 359 00:14:33.480 --> 00:14:36.240 means I used super glue to attach 360 00:14:36.240 --> 00:14:38.700 something to something else so this is 361 00:14:38.700 --> 00:14:41.579 what super glue means as a noun and it's 362 00:14:41.579 --> 00:14:44.220 also what it means as a verb so some 363 00:14:44.220 --> 00:14:46.560 other example sentences might be I super 364 00:14:46.560 --> 00:14:48.600 glued the two pieces of fabric together 365 00:14:48.600 --> 00:14:50.160 I don't think they're going to come 366 00:14:50.160 --> 00:14:52.740 apart or she super glued her fingers 367 00:14:52.740 --> 00:14:55.199 together oh no what should we do so 368 00:14:55.199 --> 00:14:57.720 super glue is sometimes used and kind of 369 00:14:57.720 --> 00:15:00.300 unsafe ways but this is actually kind of 370 00:15:00.300 --> 00:15:01.980 common example sentence that you may 371 00:15:01.980 --> 00:15:03.779 hear especially when kids are just 372 00:15:03.779 --> 00:15:05.399 finding out about super glue for the 373 00:15:05.399 --> 00:15:07.380 first time so I hope this helps you 374 00:15:07.380 --> 00:15:09.720 understand the use of super glue as a 375 00:15:09.720 --> 00:15:11.399 verb thanks very much for an interesting 376 00:15:11.399 --> 00:15:13.560 question okay let's move on to your next 377 00:15:13.560 --> 00:15:15.959 question next question comes from Lisa 378 00:15:15.959 --> 00:15:18.600 hi Lisa Lisa says hello I have a small 379 00:15:18.600 --> 00:15:21.180 question can you give me a definition of 380 00:15:21.180 --> 00:15:23.160 overwhelming and some examples bubbles 381 00:15:23.160 --> 00:15:26.160 thank you okay yeah great question let's 382 00:15:26.160 --> 00:15:28.199 talk about how to use overwhelming 383 00:15:28.199 --> 00:15:29.339 because this might be a little bit 384 00:15:29.339 --> 00:15:32.459 difficult to understand at the base at 385 00:15:32.459 --> 00:15:35.459 its core overwhelming means that 386 00:15:35.459 --> 00:15:38.820 something is too much emotionally so 387 00:15:38.820 --> 00:15:41.459 when we have an experience and we feel 388 00:15:41.459 --> 00:15:43.980 really really strong emotions we can 389 00:15:43.980 --> 00:15:46.100 describe that as something that is 390 00:15:46.100 --> 00:15:48.959 overwhelming we can use this in positive 391 00:15:48.959 --> 00:15:51.060 situations and in negative situations 392 00:15:51.060 --> 00:15:53.820 something that causes you to feel a lot 393 00:15:53.820 --> 00:15:56.279 of Happiness could also be overwhelming 394 00:15:56.279 --> 00:15:59.279 like you feel so much happiness that you 395 00:15:59.279 --> 00:16:01.199 feel maybe you need to cry or something 396 00:16:01.199 --> 00:16:03.240 that could be described as something 397 00:16:03.240 --> 00:16:05.760 that is overwhelming on the other hand 398 00:16:05.760 --> 00:16:07.920 when you have something negative happen 399 00:16:07.920 --> 00:16:09.480 in your life like something very very 400 00:16:09.480 --> 00:16:11.699 stressful or very difficult you could 401 00:16:11.699 --> 00:16:14.279 also describe that as overwhelming so 402 00:16:14.279 --> 00:16:16.440 you feel such strong emotions relating 403 00:16:16.440 --> 00:16:19.320 to stress or sadness for example that 404 00:16:19.320 --> 00:16:21.420 you want to cry maybe we can describe 405 00:16:21.420 --> 00:16:23.880 that as overwhelm filming as well so 406 00:16:23.880 --> 00:16:25.320 let's take a look at some example 407 00:16:25.320 --> 00:16:27.240 sentences so you can see how it might be 408 00:16:27.240 --> 00:16:29.519 used first let's look at a happy example 409 00:16:29.519 --> 00:16:31.800 sentence you could say my wedding day 410 00:16:31.800 --> 00:16:34.800 was so beautiful it was overwhelming I 411 00:16:34.800 --> 00:16:36.720 cried so this is an example of a 412 00:16:36.720 --> 00:16:39.240 situation that is very happy and that 413 00:16:39.240 --> 00:16:41.519 causes lots of emotion so it's like it's 414 00:16:41.519 --> 00:16:44.339 too much emotion at one moment and you 415 00:16:44.339 --> 00:16:46.139 feel kind of like a little bit out of 416 00:16:46.139 --> 00:16:48.300 control perhaps this is something we can 417 00:16:48.300 --> 00:16:50.459 describe as overwhelming in a positive 418 00:16:50.459 --> 00:16:52.620 way on the other hand a stressful 419 00:16:52.620 --> 00:16:54.839 situation might be something like my 420 00:16:54.839 --> 00:16:57.060 boss made me work so much overtime last 421 00:16:57.060 --> 00:16:59.699 month it was overwhelming so this 422 00:16:59.699 --> 00:17:01.139 expresses that someone is feeling 423 00:17:01.139 --> 00:17:03.959 stressed or upset about a situation that 424 00:17:03.959 --> 00:17:06.000 was emotionally just too much for them 425 00:17:06.000 --> 00:17:08.400 so we can use overwhelming to talk about 426 00:17:08.400 --> 00:17:11.220 these different kinds of situations also 427 00:17:11.220 --> 00:17:12.839 here we're focusing on the word 428 00:17:12.839 --> 00:17:15.359 overwhelming so we use this to describe 429 00:17:15.359 --> 00:17:17.760 the situation outside us so my wedding 430 00:17:17.760 --> 00:17:20.939 was so beautiful it was overwhelming or 431 00:17:20.939 --> 00:17:23.819 my job was overwhelmed last month so 432 00:17:23.819 --> 00:17:25.679 we're talking about the thing outside us 433 00:17:25.679 --> 00:17:27.600 when you want to describe your own 434 00:17:27.600 --> 00:17:30.900 emotions though use overwhelmed so we 435 00:17:30.900 --> 00:17:32.880 can use this in the same kinds of 436 00:17:32.880 --> 00:17:34.740 situations we just need to change the 437 00:17:34.740 --> 00:17:36.539 grammatical structure of the sentence a 438 00:17:36.539 --> 00:17:38.520 little bit so for example in a happy 439 00:17:38.520 --> 00:17:40.799 situation we might say something like my 440 00:17:40.799 --> 00:17:42.539 wedding was so beautiful I was 441 00:17:42.539 --> 00:17:44.460 overwhelmed or we might also say 442 00:17:44.460 --> 00:17:46.500 something like I was overwhelmed with 443 00:17:46.500 --> 00:17:48.539 happiness some people like to include 444 00:17:48.539 --> 00:17:50.580 the emotion at the end there so 445 00:17:50.580 --> 00:17:52.500 overwhelmed is the expression that we 446 00:17:52.500 --> 00:17:55.080 use to talk about our own feelings I was 447 00:17:55.080 --> 00:17:58.260 overwhelmed or I am overwhelmed again in 448 00:17:58.260 --> 00:18:00.059 a stressful situation we can do the same 449 00:18:00.059 --> 00:18:02.220 thing with this word so my work was 450 00:18:02.220 --> 00:18:04.140 really really difficult last month they 451 00:18:04.140 --> 00:18:06.600 had to work so much overtime I was 452 00:18:06.600 --> 00:18:09.119 overwhelmed so again we're talking about 453 00:18:09.119 --> 00:18:12.000 having too much to do too much to take 454 00:18:12.000 --> 00:18:13.619 care of feeling a little bit out of 455 00:18:13.619 --> 00:18:15.240 control there's just too much of a 456 00:18:15.240 --> 00:18:17.220 certain emotion so when you talk about 457 00:18:17.220 --> 00:18:19.859 your own emotions use overwhelmed when 458 00:18:19.859 --> 00:18:21.900 you talk about the thing outside you use 459 00:18:21.900 --> 00:18:24.299 overwhelm tell me so I hope this helps 460 00:18:24.299 --> 00:18:26.220 you understand the use and the meaning 461 00:18:26.220 --> 00:18:28.919 of the word overwhelming and overwhelmed 462 00:18:28.919 --> 00:18:30.480 too thanks very much for an interesting 463 00:18:30.480 --> 00:18:32.280 question all right that is everything 464 00:18:32.280 --> 00:18:34.020 that I have for this week thank you as 465 00:18:34.020 --> 00:18:35.400 always for sending your super great 466 00:18:35.400 --> 00:18:37.559 questions hi everybody welcome back to 467 00:18:37.559 --> 00:18:39.720 ask Alicia the weekly series where you 468 00:18:39.720 --> 00:18:41.940 ask me questions and I answer them maybe 469 00:18:41.940 --> 00:18:44.039 let's get to your first question this 470 00:18:44.039 --> 00:18:46.760 week first question this week comes from 471 00:18:46.760 --> 00:18:50.039 kavisha Samara sin I hope I said your 472 00:18:50.039 --> 00:18:52.619 name right hi kavisha kavisha says what 473 00:18:52.619 --> 00:18:55.559 are the differences between do and does 474 00:18:55.559 --> 00:18:59.520 and is and are can you teach me yeah 475 00:18:59.520 --> 00:19:03.179 sure so let's start by looking at do and 476 00:19:03.179 --> 00:19:07.440 does we use do and does as part of a 477 00:19:07.440 --> 00:19:09.840 question that we're asking and we decide 478 00:19:09.840 --> 00:19:12.900 to use do or does according to the 479 00:19:12.900 --> 00:19:15.720 subject so when we use the subject you 480 00:19:15.720 --> 00:19:18.840 for example we use do like do you 481 00:19:18.840 --> 00:19:21.059 something something and when our subject 482 00:19:21.059 --> 00:19:25.380 is he she or it we use does does he does 483 00:19:25.380 --> 00:19:27.900 she does it we can of course use other 484 00:19:27.900 --> 00:19:31.440 subjects with do as well do I or do they 485 00:19:31.440 --> 00:19:34.320 or do we but for today's lesson let's 486 00:19:34.320 --> 00:19:36.600 use you because it's a very easy example 487 00:19:36.600 --> 00:19:39.720 to use so we can ask yes or no questions 488 00:19:39.720 --> 00:19:42.960 by putting do and does at the beginning 489 00:19:42.960 --> 00:19:45.660 of this question for example do you have 490 00:19:45.660 --> 00:19:49.140 a pen or does he have my wallet we can 491 00:19:49.140 --> 00:19:52.020 ask these simple yes or no questions we 492 00:19:52.020 --> 00:19:55.380 can also use do and does in information 493 00:19:55.380 --> 00:19:58.559 questions that begin with a wh question 494 00:19:58.559 --> 00:20:02.340 like who what where when and so on for 495 00:20:02.340 --> 00:20:04.919 example what do you do means what is 496 00:20:04.919 --> 00:20:07.619 your job or what does he do means what 497 00:20:07.619 --> 00:20:11.640 is his job so we use do and does as part 498 00:20:11.640 --> 00:20:13.679 of these different kinds of questions so 499 00:20:13.679 --> 00:20:15.299 we have these simple yes no questions 500 00:20:15.299 --> 00:20:17.760 where do and does come at the beginning 501 00:20:17.760 --> 00:20:19.619 of the question and we have these 502 00:20:19.619 --> 00:20:21.780 information questions where these words 503 00:20:21.780 --> 00:20:24.539 come in the middle of the question so 504 00:20:24.539 --> 00:20:26.640 the key here though is to remember that 505 00:20:26.640 --> 00:20:29.640 we use do with certain subjects uh you 506 00:20:29.640 --> 00:20:32.880 we they and we use does with other 507 00:20:32.880 --> 00:20:35.760 subjects he she and it so this is a 508 00:20:35.760 --> 00:20:37.440 quick introduction I hope that that 509 00:20:37.440 --> 00:20:39.000 helps you understand the differences 510 00:20:39.000 --> 00:20:42.960 between do and does so let's talk a 511 00:20:42.960 --> 00:20:44.760 little bit now about the differences 512 00:20:44.760 --> 00:20:48.480 between is and are the key here is to 513 00:20:48.480 --> 00:20:51.119 remember that is is used with singular 514 00:20:51.119 --> 00:20:54.720 subjects and R is used with plural 515 00:20:54.720 --> 00:20:57.359 subjects so to give a very very basic 516 00:20:57.359 --> 00:21:01.500 example he is something something and we 517 00:21:01.500 --> 00:21:04.980 are something something so in the he is 518 00:21:04.980 --> 00:21:07.200 something something example pattern we 519 00:21:07.200 --> 00:21:11.039 have a singular subject he is that's one 520 00:21:11.039 --> 00:21:14.940 person in the we are pattern we have we 521 00:21:14.940 --> 00:21:17.580 as the subject which represents more 522 00:21:17.580 --> 00:21:20.220 than one person so a plural subject 523 00:21:20.220 --> 00:21:22.740 right so we can expand this we can use 524 00:21:22.740 --> 00:21:25.320 this in other ways too so for example 525 00:21:25.320 --> 00:21:27.840 two dogs are at the park that's another 526 00:21:27.840 --> 00:21:30.299 way to make this subject plural or we 527 00:21:30.299 --> 00:21:33.119 could say one dog is at the park to make 528 00:21:33.119 --> 00:21:35.580 the subject singular so the key here is 529 00:21:35.580 --> 00:21:37.859 that is is used for singular subjects 530 00:21:37.859 --> 00:21:41.640 and R is used for plural subjects also 531 00:21:41.640 --> 00:21:43.260 keep in mind that these are used in 532 00:21:43.260 --> 00:21:45.240 present tense situations if you want to 533 00:21:45.240 --> 00:21:47.280 make these past tense we would use these 534 00:21:47.280 --> 00:21:50.460 as was and were so I hope that this 535 00:21:50.460 --> 00:21:52.260 quick introduction helps you understand 536 00:21:52.260 --> 00:21:55.080 the differences between do and does and 537 00:21:55.080 --> 00:21:57.299 is and are thanks very much for the 538 00:21:57.299 --> 00:21:59.220 question okay great let's move on to 539 00:21:59.220 --> 00:22:01.320 your next question next question comes 540 00:22:01.320 --> 00:22:04.020 from Matthew hi Matthew Matthew says hi 541 00:22:04.020 --> 00:22:06.179 Alicia I'm from Peru and I'm 17 years 542 00:22:06.179 --> 00:22:08.159 old I always watch your videos thank you 543 00:22:08.159 --> 00:22:11.220 my question is how can I improve my 544 00:22:11.220 --> 00:22:13.740 listening and how long does it take I'm 545 00:22:13.740 --> 00:22:15.359 very good at grammar and other things 546 00:22:15.359 --> 00:22:17.340 but sometimes I worry when I don't 547 00:22:17.340 --> 00:22:19.679 understand conversations yeah sure let's 548 00:22:19.679 --> 00:22:21.179 talk about some ways that you can 549 00:22:21.179 --> 00:22:24.419 improve your list listening skills so I 550 00:22:24.419 --> 00:22:26.100 know that a lot of people of course want 551 00:22:26.100 --> 00:22:28.320 to listen to something to improve their 552 00:22:28.320 --> 00:22:30.659 listening skills but like you said it's 553 00:22:30.659 --> 00:22:33.000 sometimes really hard to catch all the 554 00:22:33.000 --> 00:22:35.159 words if you're watching maybe a movie 555 00:22:35.159 --> 00:22:37.260 or like a YouTube video or something 556 00:22:37.260 --> 00:22:39.900 sometimes you have subtitles right you 557 00:22:39.900 --> 00:22:41.700 have captions at the bottom of the 558 00:22:41.700 --> 00:22:44.280 screen so you can read what's being said 559 00:22:44.280 --> 00:22:46.380 and that's really helpful right but what 560 00:22:46.380 --> 00:22:48.299 do you do if you're listening to like a 561 00:22:48.299 --> 00:22:50.280 podcast for example or maybe a news 562 00:22:50.280 --> 00:22:52.200 report those are kind of difficult 563 00:22:52.200 --> 00:22:54.240 situations because there's no captions 564 00:22:54.240 --> 00:22:56.940 right so what do you do the thing that I 565 00:22:56.940 --> 00:22:58.980 recommend a lot for listening practice 566 00:22:58.980 --> 00:23:01.980 is to find materials that have a script 567 00:23:01.980 --> 00:23:04.799 so sometimes you can find podcasts or 568 00:23:04.799 --> 00:23:07.260 other language learning materials that 569 00:23:07.260 --> 00:23:09.780 also have a script so it's not just 570 00:23:09.780 --> 00:23:12.240 listening but you have the option to 571 00:23:12.240 --> 00:23:15.359 listen and to read along so this is 572 00:23:15.359 --> 00:23:17.400 really really helpful for exactly the 573 00:23:17.400 --> 00:23:19.080 reason that you mentioned in your 574 00:23:19.080 --> 00:23:21.900 question if you can't quite catch a word 575 00:23:21.900 --> 00:23:24.000 or maybe there's a new expression or 576 00:23:24.000 --> 00:23:25.740 something like that or maybe the way 577 00:23:25.740 --> 00:23:27.720 that the person speaks is kind of unique 578 00:23:27.720 --> 00:23:29.340 or something you haven't heard before 579 00:23:29.340 --> 00:23:32.340 you can check the script and see what 580 00:23:32.340 --> 00:23:34.440 that person said like what were the 581 00:23:34.440 --> 00:23:36.600 words that person used and you can think 582 00:23:36.600 --> 00:23:39.080 about how that person how that speaker 583 00:23:39.080 --> 00:23:42.299 connected words in a certain way so you 584 00:23:42.299 --> 00:23:44.039 might be listening to something that has 585 00:23:44.039 --> 00:23:46.380 a kind of special dialect maybe or they 586 00:23:46.380 --> 00:23:48.720 speak very very uniquely or maybe they 587 00:23:48.720 --> 00:23:50.460 have kind of a funny way of speaking 588 00:23:50.460 --> 00:23:53.039 whatever that might be if you have a 589 00:23:53.039 --> 00:23:55.260 script you can check the script and that 590 00:23:55.260 --> 00:23:57.000 will tell you what the other person 591 00:23:57.000 --> 00:23:59.100 actually said and you can kind of think 592 00:23:59.100 --> 00:24:00.900 about that like maybe it's different 593 00:24:00.900 --> 00:24:02.700 from the way you've heard that word 594 00:24:02.700 --> 00:24:05.220 pronounced in the past or maybe that's a 595 00:24:05.220 --> 00:24:07.020 totally new word that you need to go and 596 00:24:07.020 --> 00:24:09.359 look up so this can be a really great 597 00:24:09.359 --> 00:24:12.000 way to work on improving your ability to 598 00:24:12.000 --> 00:24:14.159 catch those new sounds and to hear how 599 00:24:14.159 --> 00:24:16.500 people link sounds together so that 600 00:24:16.500 --> 00:24:18.780 would be one tip is to choose materials 601 00:24:18.780 --> 00:24:20.460 that have a script or if you watch 602 00:24:20.460 --> 00:24:22.080 videos with captions that's also great 603 00:24:22.080 --> 00:24:24.059 great too but make sure that you have 604 00:24:24.059 --> 00:24:26.100 something that you can read so you can 605 00:24:26.100 --> 00:24:28.020 check your understanding that's tip one 606 00:24:28.020 --> 00:24:30.179 my other tip for improving your 607 00:24:30.179 --> 00:24:32.039 listening skills would be to listen 608 00:24:32.039 --> 00:24:35.039 multiple times reading and not reading 609 00:24:35.039 --> 00:24:37.799 the script so that means for example you 610 00:24:37.799 --> 00:24:40.080 listen three times let's say so the 611 00:24:40.080 --> 00:24:42.119 first time you listen with no script you 612 00:24:42.119 --> 00:24:44.159 just listen and try to see what can I 613 00:24:44.159 --> 00:24:46.140 understand the second time you listen 614 00:24:46.140 --> 00:24:48.720 and you read at the same time and the 615 00:24:48.720 --> 00:24:50.760 third time you listen with no script 616 00:24:50.760 --> 00:24:53.460 again to see how much you've improved so 617 00:24:53.460 --> 00:24:55.380 another tip with this kind of listening 618 00:24:55.380 --> 00:24:58.080 practice is to try to space out your 619 00:24:58.080 --> 00:25:00.720 listening sessions over many days so of 620 00:25:00.720 --> 00:25:02.460 course if you want to and if you have 621 00:25:02.460 --> 00:25:04.859 time you can listen multiple times on 622 00:25:04.859 --> 00:25:07.140 the same day but the point is to improve 623 00:25:07.140 --> 00:25:09.240 your listening skills over time right 624 00:25:09.240 --> 00:25:11.340 it's not just to improve your listening 625 00:25:11.340 --> 00:25:13.980 skills for one day so if you listen for 626 00:25:13.980 --> 00:25:16.260 example to the same lesson three times 627 00:25:16.260 --> 00:25:18.960 in a week and you have a script to refer 628 00:25:18.960 --> 00:25:20.760 to you can refresh your mind on the 629 00:25:20.760 --> 00:25:22.559 script a couple times throughout of the 630 00:25:22.559 --> 00:25:24.539 week you're probably going to see 631 00:25:24.539 --> 00:25:26.400 improvements in your listening skills 632 00:25:26.400 --> 00:25:28.619 over time it'll probably be a lot better 633 00:25:28.619 --> 00:25:31.200 than if you just listen one time and try 634 00:25:31.200 --> 00:25:33.419 to cram everything in in one listening 635 00:25:33.419 --> 00:25:35.760 session so this can be another way to 636 00:25:35.760 --> 00:25:38.279 improve your long-term listening skills 637 00:25:38.279 --> 00:25:39.779 and it will also help you to remember 638 00:25:39.779 --> 00:25:42.840 any new vocabulary that you find in your 639 00:25:42.840 --> 00:25:44.340 listening and your script reading 640 00:25:44.340 --> 00:25:47.159 exercises so those would be my two big 641 00:25:47.159 --> 00:25:49.200 tips for working on your listening 642 00:25:49.200 --> 00:25:51.480 skills to choose materials that have 643 00:25:51.480 --> 00:25:53.220 scripts that you can check and refer to 644 00:25:53.220 --> 00:25:55.740 and to space out your listening practice 645 00:25:55.740 --> 00:25:57.779 over time and to make sure you practice 646 00:25:57.779 --> 00:26:00.179 with and without the script so you 647 00:26:00.179 --> 00:26:02.760 retain and remember those new words so I 648 00:26:02.760 --> 00:26:04.380 hope that this helps you and good luck 649 00:26:04.380 --> 00:26:06.000 as you develop your listening skills 650 00:26:06.000 --> 00:26:08.100 also you mentioned in your question how 651 00:26:08.100 --> 00:26:09.960 long does it take please keep in mind 652 00:26:09.960 --> 00:26:12.539 that this is always an ongoing process 653 00:26:12.539 --> 00:26:14.460 we are always developing our listening 654 00:26:14.460 --> 00:26:16.740 skills and always developing our ability 655 00:26:16.740 --> 00:26:18.900 to recognize new words Even in our 656 00:26:18.900 --> 00:26:20.820 native language so just work on what's 657 00:26:20.820 --> 00:26:22.799 in front of you and try to at some small 658 00:26:22.799 --> 00:26:24.600 goals that you know that you can achieve 659 00:26:24.600 --> 00:26:26.220 for yourself that will hopefully help 660 00:26:26.220 --> 00:26:28.260 you to keep your motivation up so thanks 661 00:26:28.260 --> 00:26:30.000 very much for your question all right 662 00:26:30.000 --> 00:26:31.980 let's move on to the next question next 663 00:26:31.980 --> 00:26:34.980 question comes from chitra 664 00:26:34.980 --> 00:26:38.340 um hi chitra chitra says hi Alicia the 665 00:26:38.340 --> 00:26:41.279 word people and the word persons which 666 00:26:41.279 --> 00:26:43.380 one is correct for the plural form can 667 00:26:43.380 --> 00:26:46.020 you answer this yeah great question okay 668 00:26:46.020 --> 00:26:49.980 so generally speaking in most cases you 669 00:26:49.980 --> 00:26:52.619 will use the word one person for a 670 00:26:52.619 --> 00:26:55.859 single person and two or more people for 671 00:26:55.859 --> 00:26:58.200 multiple people this is probably going 672 00:26:58.200 --> 00:27:01.140 to be the case in the vast majority of 673 00:27:01.140 --> 00:27:03.179 situations so that means in very very 674 00:27:03.179 --> 00:27:06.720 close to all situations there are a few 675 00:27:06.720 --> 00:27:09.900 situations where you may see someone in 676 00:27:09.900 --> 00:27:13.080 writing probably using persons to mean 677 00:27:13.080 --> 00:27:16.380 the plural of person and there may be 678 00:27:16.380 --> 00:27:18.260 some situations where you see people 679 00:27:18.260 --> 00:27:21.179 people with an S so we can talk quickly 680 00:27:21.179 --> 00:27:23.520 about these but these are kind of rare 681 00:27:23.520 --> 00:27:26.039 situations so the key guide that I want 682 00:27:26.039 --> 00:27:28.799 you to remember is one person two or 683 00:27:28.799 --> 00:27:30.779 more people that's the one that you can 684 00:27:30.779 --> 00:27:33.779 use in most situations but let's talk 685 00:27:33.779 --> 00:27:35.340 about these other kind of rare 686 00:27:35.340 --> 00:27:39.059 situations in very legal or formal or 687 00:27:39.059 --> 00:27:41.460 perhaps official writing like in rules 688 00:27:41.460 --> 00:27:43.200 and contracts and these kinds of things 689 00:27:43.200 --> 00:27:47.400 you may see sometimes persons being used 690 00:27:47.400 --> 00:27:50.760 instead of people like two persons or 691 00:27:50.760 --> 00:27:53.279 three persons something like that you 692 00:27:53.279 --> 00:27:55.859 may see this Choice used in those kinds 693 00:27:55.859 --> 00:27:58.020 of situations we generally don't use 694 00:27:58.020 --> 00:28:00.059 this in everyday communication and 695 00:28:00.059 --> 00:28:02.940 everyday conversation so this is kind of 696 00:28:02.940 --> 00:28:05.940 this rare or uncommon use of persons 697 00:28:05.940 --> 00:28:08.640 next let's talk about the use of peoples 698 00:28:08.640 --> 00:28:11.700 so people with an S this use is 699 00:28:11.700 --> 00:28:14.220 typically used specifically when we're 700 00:28:14.220 --> 00:28:16.859 talking about different ethnic or racial 701 00:28:16.859 --> 00:28:19.200 groups so for example if we're talking 702 00:28:19.200 --> 00:28:21.840 about maybe a tribe of Native people we 703 00:28:21.840 --> 00:28:24.419 we might use peoples to talk about 704 00:28:24.419 --> 00:28:27.659 multiple tribes in one region so for 705 00:28:27.659 --> 00:28:29.940 example if a news article is talking 706 00:28:29.940 --> 00:28:33.480 about tribe A Tribe B and tribe C in the 707 00:28:33.480 --> 00:28:36.299 article they might say the peoples of 708 00:28:36.299 --> 00:28:39.720 the region that use of peoples refers to 709 00:28:39.720 --> 00:28:43.020 three different tribal or ethnic groups 710 00:28:43.020 --> 00:28:45.960 so this is a very very specific use of 711 00:28:45.960 --> 00:28:48.000 this peoples this is pretty much the 712 00:28:48.000 --> 00:28:50.880 only time that we use this S at the end 713 00:28:50.880 --> 00:28:53.220 of the word so you may see this from 714 00:28:53.220 --> 00:28:55.380 time to time when talking about specific 715 00:28:55.380 --> 00:28:57.840 racial groups or specific ethnic groups 716 00:28:57.840 --> 00:29:01.320 or specific tribal groups but again in 717 00:29:01.320 --> 00:29:03.419 most situations you can follow the rule 718 00:29:03.419 --> 00:29:06.720 of singular one person or multiple two 719 00:29:06.720 --> 00:29:09.000 or more people so I hope this clarifies 720 00:29:09.000 --> 00:29:11.220 any doubts that you have about the uses 721 00:29:11.220 --> 00:29:13.080 of these words thanks very much for 722 00:29:13.080 --> 00:29:14.880 sending along your question all right 723 00:29:14.880 --> 00:29:16.919 that is everything that

00:29:47.640 things that can help you with your 741 00:29:47.640 --> 00:29:49.679 English studies hi everybody welcome 742 00:29:49.679 --> 00:29:51.600 back to ask Alicia the weekly series 743 00:29:51.600 --> 00:29:53.520 where you ask me questions and I answer 744 00:29:53.520 --> 00:29:55.679 them maybe let's get to your first 745 00:29:55.679 --> 00:29:57.480 question for this week first question 746 00:29:57.480 --> 00:29:59.960 comes from 747 00:29:59.960 --> 00:30:02.220 says what's the difference between 748 00:30:02.220 --> 00:30:07.200 Career and job okay uh so basically a 749 00:30:07.200 --> 00:30:10.080 career is a series of jobs or multiple 750 00:30:10.080 --> 00:30:13.799 jobs that happen over your whole life so 751 00:30:13.799 --> 00:30:17.460 your career is like your job history as 752 00:30:17.460 --> 00:30:19.020 you can maybe guess from this 753 00:30:19.020 --> 00:30:22.440 explanation so far a job is one position 754 00:30:22.440 --> 00:30:25.260 that you have so when you work for a 755 00:30:25.260 --> 00:30:27.539 company for example you have a job 756 00:30:27.539 --> 00:30:31.080 inside that company maybe then if you 757 00:30:31.080 --> 00:30:33.659 change jobs inside that company many 758 00:30:33.659 --> 00:30:36.960 times you have a career working for that 759 00:30:36.960 --> 00:30:39.480 company right or if you decide to change 760 00:30:39.480 --> 00:30:41.580 jobs many different times with many 761 00:30:41.580 --> 00:30:43.320 different companies in many different 762 00:30:43.320 --> 00:30:46.140 roles you have a career in many 763 00:30:46.140 --> 00:30:48.659 different companies so this is basically 764 00:30:48.659 --> 00:30:50.880 the difference between the two things a 765 00:30:50.880 --> 00:30:53.760 job is a role one specific role your 766 00:30:53.760 --> 00:30:56.399 specific responsibilities and tasks in 767 00:30:56.399 --> 00:30:58.740 that position and your career is like 768 00:30:58.740 --> 00:31:01.020 your job history or your work history 769 00:31:01.020 --> 00:31:03.659 okay let's take a look at how we use 770 00:31:03.659 --> 00:31:05.700 these words with some example sentences 771 00:31:05.700 --> 00:31:07.919 first let's take a look at how we can 772 00:31:07.919 --> 00:31:09.720 use the word career 773 00:31:09.720 --> 00:31:12.960 he's had a long fulfilling career in the 774 00:31:12.960 --> 00:31:16.200 electricity industry and she wants to 775 00:31:16.200 --> 00:31:18.179 work on building some technical skills 776 00:31:18.179 --> 00:31:20.880 for her career in computer programming 777 00:31:20.880 --> 00:31:22.860 next let's take a look at some example 778 00:31:22.860 --> 00:31:25.559 sentences that use the word job 779 00:31:25.559 --> 00:31:27.720 I'm looking for a new job have you heard 780 00:31:27.720 --> 00:31:31.080 of any positions at your company and I 781 00:31:31.080 --> 00:31:32.940 really like my job right now it has good 782 00:31:32.940 --> 00:31:35.520 benefits and really good compensation so 783 00:31:35.520 --> 00:31:37.200 I hope this helps you understand the 784 00:31:37.200 --> 00:31:39.360 differences between Career and job 785 00:31:39.360 --> 00:31:42.059 remember your job is a single position 786 00:31:42.059 --> 00:31:44.279 the tasks and responsibilities you have 787 00:31:44.279 --> 00:31:46.500 at one time you can have multiple jobs 788 00:31:46.500 --> 00:31:49.679 at one time and your career is your job 789 00:31:49.679 --> 00:31:52.020 or your work history so thanks very much 790 00:31:52.020 --> 00:31:53.760 for sending this question along okay 791 00:31:53.760 --> 00:31:55.919 let's move on to the next question next 792 00:31:55.919 --> 00:31:58.860 question comes from dashrath hi dashrath 793 00:31:58.860 --> 00:32:01.799 dashrath says which English is easier to 794 00:32:01.799 --> 00:32:05.039 learn American or British oh interesting 795 00:32:05.039 --> 00:32:07.380 question well first we can't say that 796 00:32:07.380 --> 00:32:10.260 one is easier than the other they are 797 00:32:10.260 --> 00:32:12.419 both forms of English and it's also 798 00:32:12.419 --> 00:32:14.580 really important to keep in mind that 799 00:32:14.580 --> 00:32:16.740 inside American English and British 800 00:32:16.740 --> 00:32:18.539 English there are many different 801 00:32:18.539 --> 00:32:20.940 dialects or many different ways of 802 00:32:20.940 --> 00:32:23.460 speaking the language so yes we have 803 00:32:23.460 --> 00:32:25.320 some types of English that are 804 00:32:25.320 --> 00:32:27.419 considered kind of the standard for 805 00:32:27.419 --> 00:32:29.700 American and British English but there 806 00:32:29.700 --> 00:32:32.220 are also many many different ways of 807 00:32:32.220 --> 00:32:34.080 speaking English in many different 808 00:32:34.080 --> 00:32:35.880 countries so there's also Australian 809 00:32:35.880 --> 00:32:37.980 English and Irish English and Scottish 810 00:32:37.980 --> 00:32:40.020 English there's so many different ways 811 00:32:40.020 --> 00:32:41.820 of speaking the English language it's 812 00:32:41.820 --> 00:32:43.620 really hard to say this one is easier to 813 00:32:43.620 --> 00:32:45.380 learn or that one is easier to learn 814 00:32:45.380 --> 00:32:48.419 instead maybe think about the kinds of 815 00:32:48.419 --> 00:32:51.419 resources that you have available and by 816 00:32:51.419 --> 00:32:53.159 that I mean for example your media 817 00:32:53.159 --> 00:32:55.200 resources and the textbook resources 818 00:32:55.200 --> 00:32:57.360 that you have if you watch a lot of 819 00:32:57.360 --> 00:32:59.520 media in British English for example 820 00:32:59.520 --> 00:33:01.500 then maybe that one is going to feel 821 00:33:01.500 --> 00:33:04.140 easier for you because you like watching 822 00:33:04.140 --> 00:33:06.600 that media you're exposed to that kind 823 00:33:06.600 --> 00:33:08.220 of speaking more than you are American 824 00:33:08.220 --> 00:33:10.140 English if that's what works for you 825 00:33:10.140 --> 00:33:12.299 then maybe British English is better for 826 00:33:12.299 --> 00:33:14.700 you on the other hand if for example you 827 00:33:14.700 --> 00:33:16.860 live in the USA then it's probably going 828 00:33:16.860 --> 00:33:19.140 to be a lot easier for you to study 829 00:33:19.140 --> 00:33:21.179 American English than it is to study 830 00:33:21.179 --> 00:33:22.740 British English because everyone around 831 00:33:22.740 --> 00:33:24.779 you is going to speak a form of American 832 00:33:24.779 --> 00:33:27.659 English in most cases so think about the 833 00:33:27.659 --> 00:33:29.519 kinds of resources that you have around 834 00:33:29.519 --> 00:33:31.919 you think about the media that you have 835 00:33:31.919 --> 00:33:33.840 maybe a teacher that you have does that 836 00:33:33.840 --> 00:33:35.640 teacher speak British English or 837 00:33:35.640 --> 00:33:37.559 American English do you watch YouTube 838 00:33:37.559 --> 00:33:39.659 videos in American English or British 839 00:33:39.659 --> 00:33:41.940 English or some other type of English so 840 00:33:41.940 --> 00:33:44.340 think about kind of your own situation 841 00:33:44.340 --> 00:33:46.740 and think about what your goals are as 842 00:33:46.740 --> 00:33:48.899 well and maybe that can help you to make 843 00:33:48.899 --> 00:33:50.580 a decision between American English 844 00:33:50.580 --> 00:33:53.399 British English or something else as I 845 00:33:53.399 --> 00:33:55.140 said before there are many many 846 00:33:55.140 --> 00:33:57.000 different accents and many different 847 00:33:57.000 --> 00:33:59.279 dialects in the English language so 848 00:33:59.279 --> 00:34:00.720 don't expect that you're going to be 849 00:34:00.720 --> 00:34:02.580 able to understand all types of English 850 00:34:02.580 --> 00:34:05.100 just by studying one of them keep in 851 00:34:05.100 --> 00:34:07.200 mind that even native speakers of all of 852 00:34:07.200 --> 00:34:08.760 these dialects still run across 853 00:34:08.760 --> 00:34:10.679 interesting new words or interesting new 854 00:34:10.679 --> 00:34:12.960 ways of speaking and sometimes we even 855 00:34:12.960 --> 00:34:15.000 hear a person talk and think I can't 856 00:34:15.000 --> 00:34:16.500 understand but that person just said 857 00:34:16.500 --> 00:34:18.599 because the accent is so different from 858 00:34:18.599 --> 00:34:20.820 our own so please keep this in mind when 859 00:34:20.820 --> 00:34:22.200 you're trying to think about which one 860 00:34:22.200 --> 00:34:24.780 is easier it's not that one has easier 861 00:34:24.780 --> 00:34:27.119 grammar rules or one has easier spelling 862 00:34:27.119 --> 00:34:29.219 or anything like that but it's more 863 00:34:29.219 --> 00:34:31.080 important to consider which one is going 864 00:34:31.080 --> 00:34:33.179 to maybe be easier for you to pick up 865 00:34:33.179 --> 00:34:34.560 which one is going to be more 866 00:34:34.560 --> 00:34:36.540 appropriate for you to spend your time 867 00:34:36.540 --> 00:34:39.179 on so maybe consider that and try not to 868 00:34:39.179 --> 00:34:41.040 think so much about like which one has 869 00:34:41.040 --> 00:34:43.619 easier rules or something like that so I 870 00:34:43.619 --> 00:34:45.119 hope that this answer helps you and I 871 00:34:45.119 --> 00:34:46.859 hope that you're able to decide which 872 00:34:46.859 --> 00:34:49.080 one is best for you so thanks very much 873 00:34:49.080 --> 00:34:50.399 for sending this interesting question 874 00:34:50.399 --> 00:34:52.619 along okay let's move on to your next 875 00:34:52.619 --> 00:34:55.099 question next question comes from 876 00:34:55.099 --> 00:34:57.660 seriosa hi seriosa I hope I said your 877 00:34:57.660 --> 00:35:00.300 name correctly so Jose says hi Alicia 878 00:35:00.300 --> 00:35:02.219 what's the difference between disgust 879 00:35:02.219 --> 00:35:04.980 and Loathing thank you in advance sure 880 00:35:04.980 --> 00:35:06.780 let's talk about the differences between 881 00:35:06.780 --> 00:35:08.940 these words first let's talk about 882 00:35:08.940 --> 00:35:12.540 disgust so disgust is a noun and we also 883 00:35:12.540 --> 00:35:15.599 have the adjective disgusting so we use 884 00:35:15.599 --> 00:35:17.160 these words when we're talking about 885 00:35:17.160 --> 00:35:19.619 something that is gross or something 886 00:35:19.619 --> 00:35:21.839 that we feel like oh I don't want to see 887 00:35:21.839 --> 00:35:23.460 that or I don't want to touch that or I 888 00:35:23.460 --> 00:35:25.079 don't want to eat that something that 889 00:35:25.079 --> 00:35:27.300 feels kind of creepy or maybe something 890 00:35:27.300 --> 00:35:30.140 that feels a little bit like oh that's 891 00:35:30.140 --> 00:35:32.820 dangerous and like a kind of a gross way 892 00:35:32.820 --> 00:35:35.400 so we use this in a couple of different 893 00:35:35.400 --> 00:35:37.980 situations a lot first is when we're 894 00:35:37.980 --> 00:35:40.020 watching movies that have lots of 895 00:35:40.020 --> 00:35:41.640 violence and maybe they have lots of 896 00:35:41.640 --> 00:35:44.219 blood and guts those kinds of films 897 00:35:44.219 --> 00:35:46.140 where you can see everything really 898 00:35:46.140 --> 00:35:49.320 clearly we use the word disgusting to 899 00:35:49.320 --> 00:35:51.420 talk about that kind of thing those kind 900 00:35:51.420 --> 00:35:54.119 of images we can describe as disgusting 901 00:35:54.119 --> 00:35:56.579 like in a very violent movie scene we 902 00:35:56.579 --> 00:35:58.619 might say that the scene was disgusting 903 00:35:58.619 --> 00:36:00.480 because there's lots of blood or we can 904 00:36:00.480 --> 00:36:02.880 see body parts or something like that so 905 00:36:02.880 --> 00:36:05.280 it causes us to feel kind of like oh I 906 00:36:05.280 --> 00:36:06.780 don't want to see that or that's kind of 907 00:36:06.780 --> 00:36:09.359 shocking or scary in some way we can 908 00:36:09.359 --> 00:36:11.700 express that feeling with disgusting as 909 00:36:11.700 --> 00:36:14.219 an adjective or disgust so for example 910 00:36:14.219 --> 00:36:16.980 that scene in the movie was disgusting 911 00:36:16.980 --> 00:36:19.980 or you might say I reacted to that scene 912 00:36:19.980 --> 00:36:22.739 with disgust to use the other part of 913 00:36:22.739 --> 00:36:24.660 speech of this word so we can use this 914 00:36:24.660 --> 00:36:26.460 when we're talking about visuals so 915 00:36:26.460 --> 00:36:28.560 something that we see and we have that 916 00:36:28.560 --> 00:36:31.440 reaction to another very common way that 917 00:36:31.440 --> 00:36:33.540 we use this is to talk about food and 918 00:36:33.540 --> 00:36:35.520 drinks and things that we don't want to 919 00:36:35.520 --> 00:36:38.280 eat or things that don't look nice so 920 00:36:38.280 --> 00:36:40.140 for example if someone brings out 921 00:36:40.140 --> 00:36:41.640 something they cooked and it looks 922 00:36:41.640 --> 00:36:44.099 really bad like something that is not 923 00:36:44.099 --> 00:36:45.900 going to taste good or maybe it looks 924 00:36:45.900 --> 00:36:48.119 like it's not fresh you can describe 925 00:36:48.119 --> 00:36:51.180 that as disgusting like that food looks 926 00:36:51.180 --> 00:36:54.060 disgusting what happens to it or you can 927 00:36:54.060 --> 00:36:56.160 also use discuss the other part of 928 00:36:56.160 --> 00:36:59.219 speech in the same manner too like we 929 00:36:59.219 --> 00:37:01.800 couldn't hide our disgusted this meal so 930 00:37:01.800 --> 00:37:03.140 this shows that something is 931 00:37:03.140 --> 00:37:05.040 unappetizing it's something that you 932 00:37:05.040 --> 00:37:07.380 don't want to eat so again the common 933 00:37:07.380 --> 00:37:09.719 point between these two uses is that we 934 00:37:09.719 --> 00:37:11.700 kind of back away from that thing we 935 00:37:11.700 --> 00:37:13.140 think that it's not good it's not 936 00:37:13.140 --> 00:37:15.359 attractive it's not good for us there's 937 00:37:15.359 --> 00:37:17.280 kind of that emotional response to 938 00:37:17.280 --> 00:37:19.380 something like oh that's not good for me 939 00:37:19.380 --> 00:37:21.839 okay so let's compare this to the word 940 00:37:21.839 --> 00:37:23.579 loathing the other word that you 941 00:37:23.579 --> 00:37:26.160 mentioned in your question loathing is 942 00:37:26.160 --> 00:37:28.680 the noun form and we also commonly use 943 00:37:28.680 --> 00:37:32.040 this as a verb to two loads when we say 944 00:37:32.040 --> 00:37:34.200 we loathe something or we look at 945 00:37:34.200 --> 00:37:36.739 something with loathing it refers to 946 00:37:36.739 --> 00:37:40.500 extreme dislike like hatred so for 947 00:37:40.500 --> 00:37:42.300 example someone who has done something 948 00:37:42.300 --> 00:37:44.880 to you in the past that was so terrible 949 00:37:44.880 --> 00:37:47.160 that you can't forgive them you never 950 00:37:47.160 --> 00:37:48.900 want to talk to them again you might 951 00:37:48.900 --> 00:37:50.520 describe your feelings for that person 952 00:37:50.520 --> 00:37:53.099 as loathing or you might say I loathe 953 00:37:53.099 --> 00:37:55.859 that person or for example you might see 954 00:37:55.859 --> 00:37:57.420 something terrible happen in the news 955 00:37:57.420 --> 00:38:00.060 some violent act you might describe that 956 00:38:00.060 --> 00:38:02.160 or people might describe that by saying 957 00:38:02.160 --> 00:38:05.099 wow we loathe that act of violence or we 958 00:38:05.099 --> 00:38:07.619 loathe the person who did that thing so 959 00:38:07.619 --> 00:38:10.200 that means a strong strong dislike it's 960 00:38:10.200 --> 00:38:12.060 like something that's rooted deep inside 961 00:38:12.060 --> 00:38:14.760 you it's like a very strong hatred but 962 00:38:14.760 --> 00:38:16.260 kind of the difference between just 963 00:38:16.260 --> 00:38:18.960 hatred and you know to hate someone or 964 00:38:18.960 --> 00:38:21.480 to hate something loathe is less about 965 00:38:21.480 --> 00:38:23.700 having like that high level of anger 966 00:38:23.700 --> 00:38:25.859 that we think of with hatred when we say 967 00:38:25.859 --> 00:38:28.859 I hate that or I hate this when we say I 968 00:38:28.859 --> 00:38:31.260 hate that or I hate this it often has 969 00:38:31.260 --> 00:38:33.420 kind of a feeling of like some kind of 970 00:38:33.420 --> 00:38:35.280 high level of anger or we have high 971 00:38:35.280 --> 00:38:37.560 emotions running at that time when we 972 00:38:37.560 --> 00:38:40.320 say we loathe something there's less of 973 00:38:40.320 --> 00:38:42.000 that feeling of the high level of 974 00:38:42.000 --> 00:38:43.859 emotion and kind of something more deep 975 00:38:43.859 --> 00:38:46.079 inside us something that's kind of at 976 00:38:46.079 --> 00:38:48.300 our core at the very very middle of our 977 00:38:48.300 --> 00:38:50.880 of our body maybe that makes us say I 978 00:38:50.880 --> 00:38:53.820 dislike that thing very much so to load 979 00:38:53.820 --> 00:38:56.099 something that's a very strong word but 980 00:38:56.099 --> 00:38:58.320 so we use that in cases where the 981 00:38:58.320 --> 00:39:00.359 situation is very very serious or 982 00:39:00.359 --> 00:39:02.339 someone has done something that we 983 00:39:02.339 --> 00:39:04.739 simply cannot forgive so to recap 984 00:39:04.739 --> 00:39:07.619 quickly discussed and disgusting and the 985 00:39:07.619 --> 00:39:09.540 other parts of speech associated with 986 00:39:09.540 --> 00:39:11.820 this word we use these to talk about 987 00:39:11.820 --> 00:39:13.920 things that make us feel kind of grossed 988 00:39:13.920 --> 00:39:15.480 out things that are yucky things that 989 00:39:15.480 --> 00:39:17.579 don't look good to us and we use 990 00:39:17.579 --> 00:39:20.160 loathing or too low than other parts of 991 00:39:20.160 --> 00:39:22.020 speech to talk about things that we have 992 00:39:22.020 --> 00:39:25.680 a very strong deep intense dislike of so 993 00:39:25.680 --> 00:39:27.540 I hope this answers your question thanks 994 00:39:27.540 --> 00:39:29.579 very much for sending it along

00:40:24.420 --> 00:40:26.820 the basic definition of the verb Shake 1023 00:40:26.820 --> 00:40:29.640 is to move up and down in quick short 1024 00:40:29.640 --> 00:40:31.980 movements some examples

at the 1028 00:40:40.619 --> 00:40:44.219 conjugations for this verb present Shake 1029 00:40:44.219 --> 00:40:45.540 shakes 1030 00:40:45.540 --> 00:40:49.760 past shook past participle shaken 1031 00:40:49.760 --> 00:40:53.420 Progressive shaking 1032 00:40:54.180 --> 00:40:56.460 so now let's talk about some additional 1033 00:40:56.460 --> 00:40:59.099 meanings for the verb shake the first 1034 00:40:59.099 --> 00:41:00.960 additional meaning is to move around 1035 00:41:00.960 --> 00:41:04.020 because of physical or emotional 1036 00:41:04.020 --> 00:41:07.619 disturbance some examples the buildings 1037 00:41:07.619 --> 00:41:09.960 shook in the earthquake 1038 00:41:09.960 --> 00:41:13.739 his voice shook as he told the sad story 1039 00:41:13.739 --> 00:41:17.099 in these example sentences we see that 1040 00:41:17.099 --> 00:41:19.200 there's some kind of disturbance that's 1041 00:41:19.200 --> 00:41:21.900 happening so in the first one it's a 1042 00:41:21.900 --> 00:41:24.180 physical disturbance so the buildings 1043 00:41:24.180 --> 00:41:26.219 shook in the earthquake there was some 1044 00:41:26.219 --> 00:41:28.320 physical disturbance and the buildings 1045 00:41:28.320 --> 00:41:30.839 shook so meaning the buildings moved 1046 00:41:30.839 --> 00:41:32.760 like side to side or maybe up and down 1047 00:41:32.760 --> 00:41:35.780 so this motion we refer to as shaking 1048 00:41:35.780 --> 00:41:39.839 because of some kind of disturbance in 1049 00:41:39.839 --> 00:41:41.880 the second example sentence though it's 1050 00:41:41.880 --> 00:41:44.339 someone's voice so a person's voice 1051 00:41:44.339 --> 00:41:47.280 shook his voice shook when he told the 1052 00:41:47.280 --> 00:41:49.980 sad story so in this case it's not like 1053 00:41:49.980 --> 00:41:52.560 physical motion but it's like the voice 1054 00:41:52.560 --> 00:41:56.880 sounds unsteady so this is related to an 1055 00:41:56.880 --> 00:41:59.339 emotional disturbance so it's a sad 1056 00:41:59.339 --> 00:42:02.700 story he feels emotional so his voice is 1057 00:42:02.700 --> 00:42:04.560 shaking it's like you're you're 1058 00:42:04.560 --> 00:42:06.839 struggling not to cry or you're 1059 00:42:06.839 --> 00:42:09.300 struggling to hold back emotions like 1060 00:42:09.300 --> 00:42:11.719 you can hear a person's voice change 1061 00:42:11.719 --> 00:42:15.300 when they're trying to hold in to not 1062 00:42:15.300 --> 00:42:17.940 release kind of strong emotions so we 1063 00:42:17.940 --> 00:42:21.000 refer to that as like a shaky voice to 1064 00:42:21.000 --> 00:42:23.400 use the adjective form but we can also 1065 00:42:23.400 --> 00:42:26.219 use a verb shook in this case past tense 1066 00:42:26.219 --> 00:42:28.619 his voice shook when he told the sad 1067 00:42:28.619 --> 00:42:31.079 story the second additional meaning for 1068 00:42:31.079 --> 00:42:34.020 the verb Shake is to get away from 1069 00:42:34.020 --> 00:42:36.780 something or to become free from 1070 00:42:36.780 --> 00:42:37.680 something 1071 00:42:37.680 --> 00:42:39.660 some examples 1072 00:42:39.660 --> 00:42:41.820 I can't shake the feeling I'm being 1073 00:42:41.820 --> 00:42:43.680 watched 1074 00:42:43.680 --> 00:42:47.160 she finally shook her habit of snacking 1075 00:42:47.160 --> 00:42:49.859 so in these example sentences we see 1076 00:42:49.859 --> 00:42:52.920 that shake is being used to refer to 1077 00:42:52.920 --> 00:42:55.440 getting free of something to shake 1078 00:42:55.440 --> 00:42:57.719 something so in the first example 1079 00:42:57.719 --> 00:43:00.300 sentence we see a common expression I 1080 00:43:00.300 --> 00:43:03.000 can't shake the feeling so I can't shake 1081 00:43:03.000 --> 00:43:06.480 the feeling means I can't get free I 1082 00:43:06.480 --> 00:43:09.359 can't escape from this feeling that I 1083 00:43:09.359 --> 00:43:11.700 have in this case I can't shake the 1084 00:43:11.700 --> 00:43:14.520 feeling I'm being watched that means I 1085 00:43:14.520 --> 00:43:17.219 feel always like someone is watching me 1086 00:43:17.219 --> 00:43:19.739 so probably not a good feeling I can't 1087 00:43:19.739 --> 00:43:21.900 shake the feeling or like I can't shake 1088 00:43:21.900 --> 00:43:23.460 the feeling that this was the wrong 1089 00:43:23.460 --> 00:43:26.219 thing to do so some kind of feeling you 1090 00:43:26.219 --> 00:43:28.319 can't escape from we could say I can't 1091 00:43:28.319 --> 00:43:31.380 shake the feeling in the second example 1092 00:43:31.380 --> 00:43:34.200 sentence we see Shake used to talk about 1093 00:43:34.200 --> 00:43:37.680 a bad habit so the example is she 1094 00:43:37.680 --> 00:43:40.920 finally shook her habit of snacking or 1095 00:43:40.920 --> 00:43:43.200 we could say her bad habit of snacking 1096 00:43:43.200 --> 00:43:46.800 so to shake a habit means to escape from 1097 00:43:46.800 --> 00:43:50.160 or to be free from a bad habit some 1098 00:43:50.160 --> 00:43:52.319 negative thing that you don't want to do 1099 00:43:52.319 --> 00:43:54.239 anymore you might have heard this 1100 00:43:54.239 --> 00:43:57.000 meaning applied in that song from Taylor 1101 00:43:57.000 --> 00:43:59.819 Swift where she says Shake It Off she 1102 00:43:59.819 --> 00:44:01.680 repeats the expression Shake It Off 1103 00:44:01.680 --> 00:44:04.859 where Shake It Off is like negativity 1104 00:44:04.859 --> 00:44:07.800 shake it off there means Just Let It Go 1105 00:44:07.800 --> 00:44:10.560 like break free from it escape from that 1106 00:44:10.560 --> 00:44:12.480 negative feeling so to shake something 1107 00:44:12.480 --> 00:44:15.359 off is just to let it go shake it off so 1108 00:44:15.359 --> 00:44:18.300 imagine like it's like dust on your body 1109 00:44:18.300 --> 00:44:20.219 and you just make a shaking motion and 1110 00:44:20.219 --> 00:44:21.960 it comes off like you're free you're 1111 00:44:21.960 --> 00:44:24.359 escaping from that negativity that's the 1112 00:44:24.359 --> 00:44:27.180 kind of image that she's trying to 1113 00:44:27.180 --> 00:44:29.819 um suggest in that song to Shake it Off 1114 00:44:29.819 --> 00:44:31.800 the next additional meaning for the verb 1115 00:44:31.800 --> 00:44:35.160 Shake is to upset someone so to upset 1116 00:44:35.160 --> 00:44:37.560 means like to cause their emotional 1117 00:44:37.560 --> 00:44:40.079 stability to be disturbed so this can 1118 00:44:40.079 --> 00:44:42.599 mean to cause someone to be angry or to 1119 00:44:42.599 --> 00:44:45.780 be sad to be disappointed usually angry 1120 00:44:45.780 --> 00:44:48.660 or sad though let's take a look at some 1121 00:44:48.660 -->

work 1125 00:44:56.819 --> 00:44:59.400 so in both of these example sentences 1126 00:44:59.400 --> 00:45:02.339 Shake is being used to refer to a 1127 00:45:02.339 --> 00:45:04.980 feeling of like

shook me 1141 00:45:44.579 --> 00:45:46.619 uh in the second what was the second one 1142 00:45:46.619 --> 00:45:49.200 he was shaken by the sudden changes at 1143 00:45:49.200 --> 00:45:51.239 work okay in the second example sentence 1144 00:45:51.239 --> 00:45:53.940 he was shaken by the sudden changes at 1145 00:45:53.940 --> 00:45:56.760 work it means sudden changes at his job 1146

stability he was shaken he was shaken so 1152 00:46:15.359 --> 00:46:18.239 we can use that to refer to a strong 1153 00:46:18.239 --> 00:46:21.060 emotional disturbance the fourth 1154 00:46:21.060 --> 00:46:22.859 additional meaning is to decrease 1155 00:46:22.859 --> 00:46:25.739 stability to decrease stability this is 1156 00:46:25.739 --> 00:46:27.239 slightly different from the third 1157 00:46:27.239 --> 00:46:30.000 meaning which was to upset someone this 1158 00:46:30.000 --> 00:46:32.099 one is specifically about decreasing 1159 00:46:32.099 --> 00:46:34.920 stability so it can mean in like some 1160 00:46:34.920 --> 00:46:38.219 kind of belief or it can mean in an 1161 00:46:38.219 --> 00:46:40.680 organization let's look at some examples 1162 00:46:40.680 --> 00:46:44.460 the bad news shook her confidence 1163 00:46:44.460 --> 00:46:46.619 this is a scandal that could shake the 1164 00:46:46.619 --> 00:46:48.180 entire government 1165 00:46:48.180 --> 00:46:51.239 so in the first example sentence uh the 1166 00:46:51.239 --> 00:46:54.239 bad news shook her confidence so here 1167 00:46:54.239 --> 00:46:57.180 it's not just her but what is being 1168 00:46:57.180 --> 00:46:59.700 upset what is decreasing instability 1169 00:46:59.700 --> 00:47:02.460 here her confidence so maybe the other 1170 00:47:02.460 --> 00:47:05.400 parts of her personality are fine but 1171 00:47:05.400 --> 00:47:08.160 confidence is affected in this case so 1172 00:47:08.160 --> 00:47:10.140 the bad news shook the bad news 1173 00:47:10.140 --> 00:47:12.780 decreased the stability of her 1174 00:47:12.780 --> 00:47:14.700 confidence so in other words her 1175 00:47:14.700 --> 00:47:17.040 confidence kind of decreased she didn't 1176 00:47:17.040 --> 00:47:20.160 feel so confident after hearing the bad 1177 00:47:20.160 --> 00:47:22.980 news in the second example sentence the 1178 00:47:22.980 --> 00:47:24.839 Scandal could shake the government it 1179 00:47:24.839 --> 00:47:27.480 means this Scandal is probably so big 1180 00:47:27.480 --> 00:47:30.599 that it could decrease the stability in 1181 00:47:30.599 --> 00:47:32.400 the government so that means something 1182 00:47:32.400 --> 00:47:35.280 really terrible happened and because of 1183 00:47:35.280 --> 00:47:37.500 that the government's like regular 1184 00:47:37.500 --> 00:47:39.480 functions or the government's regular 1185 00:47:39.480 --> 00:47:42.020 ways of doing things 1186 00:47:42.020 --> 00:47:45.839 might not continue so it's decreased 1187 00:47:45.839 --> 00:47:47.940 stability that's the Nuance of this use 1188 00:47:47.940 --> 00:47:50.640 of of shake one more small point about 1189 00:47:50.640 --> 00:47:52.800 this one is that this is sometimes used 1190 00:47:52.800 --> 00:47:55.319 with up so like in the second example 1191 00:47:55.319 --> 00:47:58.260 sentence this Scandal could shake up the 1192 00:47:58.260 --> 00:47:59.880 entire government like to shake up 1193 00:47:59.880 --> 00:48:04.079 something is like to kind of change a 1194 00:48:04.079 --> 00:48:06.300 known idea like we thought we knew 1195 00:48:06.300 --> 00:48:08.520 everything before but this new 1196 00:48:08.520 --> 00:48:11.219 information has shaken everything up has 1197 00:48:11.219 --> 00:48:13.200 shaken up the government like oh it's 1198 00:48:13.200 --> 00:48:15.900 caused some changes so like we lost some 1199 00:48:15.900 --> 00:48:18.119 stability this could be a good thing 1200 00:48:18.119 --> 00:48:20.280 though like to shake up a scientific 1201 00:48:20.280 --> 00:48:22.800 field for example like maybe some new 1202 00:48:22.800 --> 00:48:25.020 discovery shakes up a scientific field 1203 00:48:25.020 --> 00:48:28.980 but in that moment of like Discovery or 1204 00:48:28.980 --> 00:48:31.079 like in my second example of like a 1205 00:48:31.079 --> 00:48:33.660 scandal in that moment maybe stability 1206 00:48:33.660 --> 00:48:36.300 decreases but it could it could lead to 1207 00:48:36.300 --> 00:48:38.700 something positive in the future so you 1208 00:48:38.700 --> 00:48:40.079 really have to pay attention to the 1209 00:48:40.079 --> 00:48:42.420 situation to understand is this a 1210 00:48:42.420 --> 00:48:45.119 positive thing or a negative thing 1211 00:48:45.119 --> 00:48:47.280 okay 1212 00:48:47.280 --> 00:48:50.099 the first variation is to shake one's 1213 00:48:50.099 --> 00:48:52.859 head to shake one's head is this motion 1214 00:48:52.859 --> 00:48:55.200 is this it's this side to side motion 1215 00:48:55.200 --> 00:48:57.900 that means you disapprove it means no 1216 00:48:57.900 --> 00:49:01.140 generally so let's look at some examples 1217 00:49:01.140 --> 00:49:03.900 of this he shook his head when I asked 1218 00:49:03.900 --> 00:49:05.760 if he was okay 1219 00:49:05.760 --> 00:49:09.060 don't shake your head at me so to shake 1220 00:49:09.060 --> 00:49:11.640 your head just means to say no like you 1221 00:49:11.640 --> 00:49:14.460 don't have to say anything you can use 1222 00:49:14.460 --> 00:49:18.000 this motion to mean no or to show just 1223 00:49:18.000 --> 00:49:20.460 disapproval to show like rejection of 1224 00:49:20.460 --> 00:49:22.619 something so in the first example 1225 00:49:22.619 --> 00:49:24.780 sentence he shook his head when I asked 1226 00:49:24.780 --> 00:49:27.300 if he was okay means he did not say 1227 00:49:27.300 --> 00:49:29.760 anything but he shook his head he made 1228 00:49:29.760 --> 00:49:32.520 this motion meaning no I asked are you 1229 00:49:32.520 --> 00:49:35.640 okay and his response was this meaning 1230 00:49:35.640 --> 00:49:38.520 no so we use that to talk about that 1231 00:49:38.520 --> 00:49:40.859 action in the second example sentence 1232 00:49:40.859 --> 00:49:43.619 it's a command so don't shake your head 1233 00:49:43.619 --> 00:49:45.900 at me maybe a mother would say this to 1234 00:49:45.900 --> 00:49:47.760 her child her father might say this to 1235 00:49:47.760 --> 00:49:49.800 his child like a child shaking their 1236 00:49:49.800 --> 00:49:51.480 head like this like I don't want to do 1237 00:49:51.480 --> 00:49:53.400 that or rejecting something their parent 1238 00:49:53.400 --> 00:49:56.880 said the parent might say don't shake 1239 00:49:56.880 --> 00:49:58.859 your head at me so meaning don't say no 1240 00:49:58.859 --> 00:50:01.800 to me so the next variation I put these 1241 00:50:01.800 --> 00:50:03.359 two together because they're very 1242 00:50:03.359 --> 00:50:07.380 similar they are to shake loose or to 1243 00:50:07.380 --> 00:50:10.020 shake some thing out so these 1244 00:50:10.020 --> 00:50:13.020 expressions mean to use a shaking motion 1245 00:50:13.020 --> 00:50:16.680 to remove something so to shake loose or 1246 00:50:16.680 --> 00:50:18.599 to shake something out let's look at 1247 00:50:18.599 --> 00:50:20.099 some examples 1248 00:50:20.099 --> 00:50:23.460 she shook her bag loose from the hook 1249 00:50:23.460 --> 00:50:25.980 shake the dirt out of the rug 1250 00:50:25.980 --> 00:50:28.260 so in the first example sentence she 1251 00:50:28.260 --> 00:50:31.020 shook her bag loose from the hook it's 1252 00:50:31.020 --> 00:50:34.200 like her bag is attached to a hook so a 1253 00:50:34.200 --> 00:50:35.700 hook is like this sort of thing you hang 1254 00:50:35.700 --> 00:50:38.819 your bag here if the bag is stuck maybe 1255 00:50:38.819 --> 00:50:41.160 or there's some problem or I don't know 1256 00:50:41.160 --> 00:50:43.560 you can't reach it easily in this case 1257 00:50:43.560 --> 00:50:46.079 she shook her bag meaning she made this 1258 00:50:46.079 --> 00:50:49.380 shaking motion to remove her bag from 1259 00:50:49.380 --> 00:50:52.020 the hook so she shook her bag loose we 1260 00:50:52.020 --> 00:50:54.359 use loose to talk about that but you can 1261 00:50:54.359 --> 00:50:56.640 use this expression if there's some like 1262 00:50:56.640 --> 00:50:58.260 I don't know I don't know maybe you go 1263 00:50:58.260 --> 00:51:00.660 to buy candy from a vending machine and 1264 00:51:00.660 --> 00:51:03.000 it gets stuck when you buy the thing so 1265 00:51:03.000 --> 00:51:04.859 you might shake it you might shake your 1266 00:51:04.859 --> 00:51:07.440 candy loose from the vending machine in 1267 00:51:07.440 --> 00:51:09.239 that case too so to shake something 1268 00:51:09.239 --> 00:51:12.660 loose needs to get something out of like 1269 00:51:12.660 --> 00:51:15.719 a jammed situation in the second example 1270 00:51:15.719 --> 00:51:18.660 sentence though we see Shake out so the 1271 00:51:18.660 --> 00:51:21.180 second example sentence was shake the 1272 00:51:21.180 --> 00:51:23.700 dirt out of the rug it means again make 1273 00:51:23.700 --> 00:51:27.059 a shaking motion to remove move dirt 1274 00:51:27.059 --> 00:51:30.119 from a rug so means do this and get the 1275 00:51:30.119 --> 00:51:32.819 dirt or whatever else is in the rug out 1276 00:51:32.819 --> 00:51:35.400 so remove the dirt from the rug by 1277 00:51:35.400 --> 00:51:37.380 shaking it so it's too Shake something 1278 00:51:37.380 --> 00:51:40.619 out of something else okay so those are 1279 00:51:40.619 --> 00:51:43.079 hopefully a few new ways for you to use 1280 00:51:43.079 --> 00:51:45.000 the verb Shake I hope that you found 1281 00:51:45.000 --> 00:51:47.160 something new if you have any questions 1282 00:51:47.160 --> 00:51:49.619 or comments or would like to try to make 1283 00:51:49.619 --> 00:51:51.660 an example sentence please feel free to 1284 00:51:51.660 --> 00:51:53.700 do so in the comments section of this 1285 00:51:53.700 --> 00:51:55.800 video hi everybody welcome back to know 1286 00:51:55.800 --> 00:51:58.079 your verbs my name is Alicia and in this 1287 00:51:58.079 --> 00:51:59.819 episode we're going to talk about the 1288 00:51:59.819 --> 00:52:03.979 verb air let's get started 1289 00:52:05.280 --> 00:52:07.859 let's begin with a basic definition of 1290 00:52:07.859 --> 00:52:10.980 the verb air the basic definition is to 1291 00:52:10.980 --> 00:52:15.900 broadcast on radio or TV some examples 1292 00:52:15.900 --> 00:52:18.719 when is this episode going to air 1293 00:52:18.719 --> 00:52:22.260 this radio show airs every week 1294 00:52:22.260 --> 00:52:23.880 now let's take a look at the 1295 00:52:23.880 --> 00:52:26.339 conjugations for each verb 1296 00:52:26.339 --> 00:52:29.520 present air heirs 1297 00:52:29.520 --> 00:52:31.920 past aired 1298 00:52:31.920 --> 00:52:38.240 past participle aired Progressive airing 1299 00:52:38.460 --> 00:52:40.920 so now let's talk about some additional 1300 00:52:40.920 --> 00:52:42.660 meanings for this verb the first 1301 00:52:42.660 --> 00:52:45.359 additional meaning of the verb ER is to 1302 00:52:45.359 --> 00:52:48.260 express opinions this is often though 1303 00:52:48.260 --> 00:52:52.380 complaints or problems some examples 1304 00:52:52.380 --> 00:52:54.540 they aired their grievances at the 1305 00:52:54.540 --> 00:52:55.980 meeting 1306 00:52:55.980 --> 00:52:58.559 please air any issues with this policy 1307 00:52:58.559 --> 00:53:00.480 at the next conference 1308 00:53:00.480 --> 00:53:04.079 so in these example sentences we see air 1309 00:53:04.079 --> 00:53:06.780 used to talk about expressing something 1310 00:53:06.780 --> 00:53:09.900 expressing an opinion but as I said this 1311 00:53:09.900 --> 00:53:11.940 is typically some kind of problem 1312 00:53:11.940 --> 00:53:14.460 there's an issue there's something that 1313 00:53:14.460 --> 00:53:17.339 people want to complain about so when we 1314 00:53:17.339 --> 00:53:20.040 air a grievance as in the first example 1315 00:53:20.040 --> 00:53:22.980 sentence it means Express a complaint 1316 00:53:22.980 --> 00:53:25.500 really or say a complaint make a 1317 00:53:25.500 --> 00:53:27.900 complaint but to air a grievance sounds 1318 00:53:27.900 --> 00:53:30.239 quite formal so a grievances like 1319 00:53:30.239 --> 00:53:32.219 something you are grieving in other 1320 00:53:32.219 --> 00:53:34.200 words something that makes you unhappy 1321 00:53:34.200 --> 00:53:37.079 but it's a noun a grievance so to air a 1322 00:53:37.079 --> 00:53:39.059 grievance means to express a complaint 1323 00:53:39.059 --> 00:53:42.300 to talk about a problem that you have in 1324 00:53:42.300 --> 00:53:44.700 the second example sentence where the 1325 00:53:44.700 --> 00:53:47.280 expression air any issues you have with 1326 00:53:47.280 --> 00:53:49.980 the policy it means again to complain 1327 00:53:49.980 --> 00:53:52.920 about a policy or to share your opinions 1328 00:53:52.920 --> 00:53:55.980 about this policy to share any maybe 1329 00:53:55.980 --> 00:53:58.920 problems you have about the policy so to 1330 00:53:58.920 --> 00:54:02.099 err means to express an opinion the 1331 00:54:02.099 --> 00:54:04.260 second additional meaning is to expose 1332 00:54:04.260 --> 00:54:07.559 to air for ventilation we often use out 1333 00:54:07.559 --> 00:54:09.480 with this meaning let's take a look at 1334 00:54:09.480 --> 00:54:11.819 some examples he aired his laundry 1335 00:54:11.819 --> 00:54:13.559 outside 1336 00:54:13.559 --> 00:54:16.260 we're airing out the bedding today 1337 00:54:16.260 --> 00:54:18.719 so in the first example sentence he 1338 00:54:18.719 --> 00:54:21.780 aired his laundry outside we see that he 1339 00:54:21.780 --> 00:54:25.980 is exposing his clothes probably to air 1340 00:54:25.980 --> 00:54:28.440 outside somewhere so that means like 1341 00:54:28.440 --> 00:54:31.260 hanging up close so that air can flow 1342 00:54:31.260 --> 00:54:33.839 through them air as a noun here that 1343 00:54:33.839 --> 00:54:36.359 means that the um like breeze or 1344 00:54:36.359 --> 00:54:38.520 sunlight or whatever makes the clothes 1345 00:54:38.520 --> 00:54:41.819 feel fresh hopefully so to air laundry 1346 00:54:41.819 --> 00:54:45.119 refers to letting laundry be exposed to 1347 00:54:45.119 --> 00:54:47.640 like sunlight to the outdoors in the 1348 00:54:47.640 --> 00:54:49.920 second example sentence we're airing out 1349 00:54:49.920 --> 00:54:52.200 the bedding today it means the same 1350 00:54:52.200 --> 00:54:54.359 thing it means our bedding so bedding 1351 00:54:54.359 --> 00:54:58.200 refers to like sheets or like covers or 1352 00:54:58.200 --> 00:55:01.079 pillowcases for example to air out 1353 00:55:01.079 --> 00:55:04.140 bedding means to expose that to sunlight 1354 00:55:04.140 --> 00:55:06.900 to air to the breeze so that it becomes 1355 00:55:06.900 --> 00:55:10.319 more Fresh So to air out is sometimes 1356 00:55:10.319 --> 00:55:13.440 used or we might just see air to air or 1357 00:55:13.440 --> 00:55:15.719 something as well it means to expose it 1358 00:55:15.719 --> 00:55:18.960 to fresh air to expose it to the Sun as 1359 00:55:18.960 --> 00:55:20.940 well this is definitely a short episode 1360 00:55:20.940 --> 00:55:22.859 but I think it's important to keep in 1361 00:55:22.859 --> 00:55:25.680 mind that air actually as a verb has 1362 00:55:25.680 --> 00:55:27.180 some very interesting and quite 1363 00:55:27.180 --> 00:55:29.280 different meanings so keep an eye out 1364 00:55:29.280 --> 00:55:31.140 for it the next time you see it used as 1365 00:55:31.140 --> 00:55:33.359 a verb in a sentence I hope that you 1366 00:55:33.359 --> 00:55:35.760 found something new anyway if you have 1367 00:55:35.760 --> 00:55:37.619 any questions or comments about this 1368

every summer 1380 00:56:09.960 --> 00:56:12.059 we're fishing for something fresh for 1381 00:56:12.059 --> 00:56:13.800 dinner 1382 00:56:13.800 --> 00:56:15.960 now let's look at the conjugations for 1383 00:56:15.960 --> 00:56:17.040 this verb 1384 00:56:17.040 --> 00:56:22.319 present fish fishes past fished past 1385 00:56:22.319 --> 00:56:27.740 participle fished Progressive fishing 1386 00:56:28.380 --> 00:56:30.359 so now let's take a look at some 1387 00:56:30.359 --> 00:56:33.119 additional meanings for this verb the 1388 00:56:33.119 --> 00:56:35.339 first additional meaning is to try to 1389 00:56:35.339 --> 00:56:37.460 get something without being 1390 00:56:37.460 --> 00:56:39.540 straightforward let's look at some 1391 00:56:39.540 --> 00:56:42.540 examples of this watch out I think he's 1392 00:56:42.540 --> 00:56:45.540 fishing for confidential information 1393 00:56:45.540 --> 00:56:47.280 do you think she's fishing for an 1394 00:56:47.280 --> 00:56:49.380 invitation to the event 1395 00:56:49.380 --> 00:56:53.640 uh so these example sentences show some 1396 00:56:53.640 --> 00:56:56.700 kind of behavior that's like not clear 1397 00:56:56.700 --> 00:56:59.700 so in the first example sentence we see 1398 00:56:59.700 --> 00:57:01.619 he's fishing from confidential 1399 00:57:01.619 --> 00:57:04.859 information meaning he's trying to get 1400 00:57:04.859 --> 00:57:07.319 confidential information but he's not 1401 00:57:07.319 --> 00:57:09.559 asking directly he's not being 1402 00:57:09.559 --> 00:57:11.940 straightforward in trying to get that 1403 00:57:11.940 --> 00:57:14.400 information he's fishing it means like 1404 00:57:14.400 --> 00:57:17.160 he's going around the issue to try to 1405 00:57:17.160 --> 00:57:20.040 get it so this kind of fishing Behavior 1406 00:57:20.040 --> 00:57:22.520 tends to be kind of suspicious 1407 00:57:22.520 --> 00:57:24.960 especially in this example sentence 1408 00:57:24.960 --> 00:57:27.359 situation we also see this in the second 1409 00:57:27.359 --> 00:57:29.819 situation she's fishing for an 1410 00:57:29.819 --> 00:57:31.920 invitation to the event it means again 1411 00:57:31.920 --> 00:57:34.800 she wants an invitation to the event but 1412 00:57:34.800 --> 00:57:37.500 she will not directly say please invite 1413 00:57:37.500 --> 00:57:40.500 me instead she's trying to go around the 1414 00:57:40.500 --> 00:57:42.420 situation or trying to be kind of 1415 00:57:42.420 --> 00:57:45.300 passive or not being very clear about 1416 00:57:45.300 --> 00:57:47.819 what she really wants you will also hear 1417 00:57:47.819 --> 00:57:50.700 this in a very common expression fishing 1418 00:57:50.700 --> 00:57:53.040 for compliments to fish for a compliment 1419 00:57:53.040 --> 00:57:55.740 means you're like saying something with 1420 00:57:55.740 --> 00:57:58.140 the expectation you will receive a 1421 00:57:58.140 --> 00:58:01.140 compliment in return so like for example 1422 00:58:01.140 --> 00:58:03.420 a common one is like maybe complaining 1423 00:58:03.420 --> 00:58:05.460 about something you're wearing like oh 1424 00:58:05.460 --> 00:58:07.619 this is so old they're all this is so 1425 00:58:07.619 --> 00:58:09.359 ugly or you know I'm not sure about my 1426 00:58:09.359 --> 00:58:11.579 hair or something like that with the 1427 00:58:11.579 --> 00:58:14.040 expectation that someone else will give 1428 00:58:14.040 --> 00:58:16.559 you a compliment so that's a very common 1429 00:58:16.559 --> 00:58:19.440 Behavior I think for some people so we 1430 00:58:19.440 --> 00:58:21.960 use fishing for compliments to describe 1431 00:58:21.960 --> 00:58:24.059 that so you're you're using not a 1432 00:58:24.059 --> 00:58:26.400 straightforward way to get someone to 1433 00:58:26.400 --> 00:58:28.680 say something nice about you I was 1434 00:58:28.680 --> 00:58:30.420 thinking about it in terms of like 1435 00:58:30.420 --> 00:58:31.980 moving like a fish like you're not 1436 00:58:31.980 --> 00:58:33.660 straightforward you're just kind of 1437 00:58:33.660 --> 00:58:36.119 moving around the issue never going 1438 00:58:36.119 --> 00:58:38.760 direct sort of thing but yeah the idea 1439 00:58:38.760 --> 00:58:40.559 that like oh you're kind of putting out 1440 00:58:40.559 --> 00:58:43.140 some idea like you're going fishing for 1441 00:58:43.140 --> 00:58:46.020 a concept or going fishing for a like an 1442 00:58:46.020 --> 00:58:48.839 invitation or some information you're 1443 00:58:48.839 --> 00:58:51.059 putting some something out as like bait 1444 00:58:51.059 --> 00:58:53.460 and you hope the other person takes the 1445 00:58:53.460 --> 00:58:55.619 bait and gives you what you want so it's 1446 00:58:55.619 --> 00:58:57.480 like you catch the information or you 1447 00:58:57.480 --> 00:58:59.160 catch an invitation you catch a 1448 00:58:59.160 --> 00:59:02.160 compliment ah interesting for sure 1449 00:59:02.160 --> 00:59:04.680 that's way better than mine that's way 1450 00:59:04.680 --> 00:59:06.180 better than my interpretation so anyway 1451 00:59:06.180 --> 00:59:08.460 fishing for something is going after 1452 00:59:08.460 --> 00:59:10.799 something but not in like a clear way 1453 00:59:10.799 --> 00:59:12.720 you're trying to like get it through 1454 00:59:12.720 --> 00:59:15.180 slightly suspicious means perhaps let's 1455 00:59:15.180 --> 00:59:16.859 move on to the second additional meaning 1456 00:59:16.859 --> 00:59:19.740 for this verb which is to grope around 1457 00:59:19.740 --> 00:59:22.859 for something unseen so to grope like 1458 00:59:22.859 --> 00:59:24.420 you're looking for something is like 1459 00:59:24.420 --> 00:59:26.099 this motion you're looking for something 1460 00:59:26.099 --> 00:59:29.280 but something unseen means you can't see 1461 00:59:29.280 --> 00:59:31.920 it so we'll look at some examples here 1462 00:59:31.920 --> 00:59:35.579 he fished for his keys in his bag 1463 00:59:35.579 --> 00:59:39.059 she's fishing in her purse for a pen so 1464 00:59:39.059 --> 00:59:41.760 in these situations we're putting a hand 1465 00:59:41.760 --> 00:59:44.339 in our bag or in a purse and we're 1466 00:59:44.339 --> 00:59:46.980 looking for something but we can't see 1467 00:59:46.980 --> 00:59:49.200 inside the bag so maybe we're talking to 1468 00:59:49.200 --> 00:59:51.119 someone else and we're looking for 1469 00:59:51.119 --> 00:59:53.819 something so we can use fish to talk 1470 00:59:53.819 --> 00:59:56.280 about that so fishing around in your bag 1471 00:59:56.280 --> 00:59:59.160 you might also hear a round use it means 1472 00:59:59.160 --> 01:00:00.900 you're searching for something kind of 1473 01:00:00.900 --> 01:00:03.059 like fishing you can't see what you're 1474 01:00:03.059 --> 01:00:05.460 looking for but you're just hoping that 1475 01:00:05.460 --> 01:00:07.380 you'll find it based on sense of touch 1476 01:00:07.380 --> 01:00:10.140 so in the first example sentence he 1477 01:00:10.140 --> 01:00:12.839 fished around for his keys in his bag 1478 01:00:12.839 --> 01:00:14.880 perhaps a common one in the second 1479 01:00:14.880 --> 01:00:17.880 example sentence she's fishing for a pen 1480 01:00:17.880 --> 01:00:20.220 so there's some specific object we hope 1481 01:00:20.220 --> 01:00:23.339 to find but we talk about this motion 1482 01:00:23.339 --> 01:00:26.579 with fish instead of like looking we can 1483 01:00:26.579 --> 01:00:28.859 say fishing to kind of give that Nuance 1484 01:00:28.859 --> 01:00:31.380 of searching for something but we can't 1485 01:00:31.380 --> 01:00:34.940 see what we're searching for 1486 01:00:36.240 --> 01:00:37.920 all right let's look at this variation 1487 01:00:37.920 --> 01:00:41.280 of the verb fish it is to fish out to 1488 01:00:41.280 --> 01:00:44.400 Fish Out means to pull something out in 1489 01:00:44.400 --> 01:00:47.099 a manner similar to fishing so in 1490 01:00:47.099 --> 01:00:49.680 fishing when we catch a fish we might 1491 01:00:49.680 --> 01:00:51.780 make this motion like this pulling or 1492 01:00:51.780 --> 01:00:55.079 drawing Motion in order to get the thing 1493 01:00:55.079 --> 01:00:58.200 we caught so when we say fish out it 1494 01:00:58.200 --> 01:01:00.359 means like we're making the same motion 1495 01:01:00.359 --> 01:01:02.760 let's look at some examples 1496 01:01:02.760 --> 01:01:05.220 I fished a cup out from behind the 1497 01:01:05.220 --> 01:01:07.200 refrigerator 1498 01:01:07.200 --> 01:01:09.780 she's trying to fish her cat out of the 1499 01:01:09.780 --> 01:01:11.520 closet with a treat 1500 01:01:11.520 --> 01:01:13.980 so in these example sentences it refers 1501 01:01:13.980 --> 01:01:16.740 to this kind of pulling motion to get 1502 01:01:16.740 --> 01:01:19.020 something or to retrieve something in 1503 01:01:19.020 --> 01:01:21.240 the first example sentence it's a cup 1504 01:01:21.240 --> 01:01:23.339 behind the refrigerator so in this 1505 01:01:23.339 --> 01:01:25.980 situation a cup fell behind the 1506 01:01:25.980 --> 01:01:28.859 refrigerator to retrieve it maybe we 1507 01:01:28.859 --> 01:01:31.619 need to use some kind of like pulling 1508 01:01:31.619 --> 01:01:34.440 motion to get it out so or maybe we have 1509 01:01:34.440 --> 01:01:36.599 to get some kitchen utensils tongs 1510 01:01:36.599 --> 01:01:38.099 that's what I use when I have to fish 1511 01:01:38.099 --> 01:01:40.859 something out so we kind of pull or Draw 1512 01:01:40.859 --> 01:01:44.160 Something with this motion and we can 1513 01:01:44.160 --> 01:01:47.099 use the word fish out to describe that 1514 01:01:47.099 --> 01:01:49.500 kind of retrieval in the second example 1515 01:01:49.500 --> 01:01:51.720 sentence she's fishing her cat out of 1516 01:01:51.720 --> 01:01:53.940 the closet it's like she's giving the 1517 01:01:53.940 --> 01:01:56.520 cat a treat like she's trying to catch 1518 01:01:56.520 --> 01:01:58.920 her cat sort of by giving the cat a 1519 01:01:58.920 --> 01:02:01.079 treat maybe like at the end of a string 1520 01:02:01.079 --> 01:02:03.720 perhaps even and she's making a pulling 1521 01:02:03.720 --> 01:02:06.359 motion trying to convince the cat to 1522 01:02:06.359 --> 01:02:08.760 come out of the closet so we can say 1523 01:02:08.760 --> 01:02:10.859 she's fishing she's fishing for her cat 1524 01:02:10.859 --> 01:02:12.720 essentially if she she's fishing her cat 1525 01:02:12.720 --> 01:02:15.480 out of the closet so when you hear fish 1526 01:02:15.480 --> 01:02:17.940 out it means making this kind of pulling 1527 01:02:17.940 --> 01:02:21.059 or drawing motion to retrieve something 1528 01:02:21.059 --> 01:02:24.059 okay so I hope that you found a new way 1529 01:02:24.059 --> 01:02:26.640 of using the verb fish if you have any 1530 01:02:26.640 --> 01:02:28.799 questions or comments or want to try 1531 01:02:28.799 --> 01:02:30.960 making an example sentence please feel 1532 01:02:30.960 --> 01:02:33.059 free to do so
