0:37 The habits you want.

0:39 Today we are going to practice adverbs of frequency.

0:43 For example, always, sometimes, never, occasionally.

0:48 We're going to use those to talk about our everyday life habits.

0:53 So, this is a very important thing to be able to do.

2:02 Okay, so let's get into today's topic then.

2:06 Today we're going to talk about your habits.

2:09 explaining your habits.

2:10 So, let's begin with the first part,

2:13 our very basic review of today's basic grammar pattern.

2:18 I hope you send me lots of comments in the chat.

2:20 Let me say hello quickly to everybody on Facebook.

2:23 Hello, Gala.

2:24 Ola, hello Muhammad.

2:25 Hello, Johan.

2:26 Welcome.

2:27 And on YouTube, hello Mauricio from Colombia.

2:30 Ericson from Philippines, Kyle, Stalin, Sushma, uh Rocky, hi.

2:35 Um, you started watching my videos in India and two years ago moved to the UK.

2:40 That's so cool.

2:40 I hope it's doing well for you.

2:42 I hope everything is going well.

2:44 Omar, what's up?

2:45 Uh, Jer, hi Pravin, what's up?

2:47 Uh, Ravika, you are always spamming the chat.

2:49 You are going to get in trouble again.

2:51 If you spam the chat again, watch out for that person.

2:53 Control desk.

2:54 They've been problematic the last few weeks.

2:56 Okay, let's get into our positive statements.

2:59 Let's begin with our basic pattern for today.

3:03 subject plus adverb of frequency plus verb.

3:08 So today we're going to use this basic pattern

3:12 to you to make a lot of different sentences,

3:15 but we need to make sure in today's of course lesson and other lessons as well.

3:22 Our verb matches our subject.

3:24 This is the most common mistake I see with these grammar patterns that the verb

3:29 and the subject often do not match because there's this word in the middle.

3:34 So, first let's review our adverbs of frequency.

3:38 Okay, we have a kind of scale here.

3:42 I like to use a scale to help us understand these different words.

3:46 The scale starts at 0%.

3:49 Up to 50% and 100%.

3:52 Where this scale means how often you do something, right?

3:57 We use adverbs of frequency to answer the question how often you do something.

4:04 Okay?

4:04 So, at the bottom down here, 0% we have never.

4:09 I never do something.

4:10 0% of the time.

4:13 Moving up, we have rarely.

4:16 Rarely.

4:16 This is a good pronunciation point.

4:18 Rarely.

4:20 And in more polite or old-fashioned situations, seldom.

4:25 I seldom do something.

4:28 Okay.

4:28 Moving up to about 50%, we have sometimes and occasionally.

4:33 Sometimes and occasionally.

4:35 Occasionally sounds a little more polite than sometimes.

4:38 And moving up again we have often at around 60

4:43 65 usually at maybe 70 80% and then always at 100%.

4:51 Okay.

4:51 So today let's practice putting these in a sentence

4:56 like this to describe your habits.

4:59 Okay.

5:00 So let's look at the example sentences.

5:02 We'll break them down and then I'll come to the chat to check yours.

5:06 Okay.

5:07 Let's begin.

5:08 So let's start with the first one.

5:11 I always brush my teeth in the morning.

5:14 I always brush my teeth in the morning.

5:16 Here's our subject.

5:17 I then here is my adverb of frequency.

5:21 Always followed by my verb.

5:24 I always brush.

5:27 Okay, these are the three parts of our habit sentence.

5:30 In this case, I have some extra information to give detail.

5:34 I always brush my teeth is the main sentence is

5:38 the main idea and then we have in the morning for some

5:42 extra detail about the habit right I always brush my teeth

5:46 in the morning and I always brush my teeth at night we

5:50 could say that if we wanted to okay so we are

5:53 expressing here that 100% of the time I brush my teeth

5:58 in the morning okay simple idea so you can send your daily

6:02 life habits in the chat to give some examples for everybody.

6:06 You wrote the same one.

6:08 Okay, you've copied the sentence.

6:09 Good start.

6:10 Now try to use that same sentence to give something about your life.

6:14 Yeah.

6:15 To explain something.

6:16 Okay, let's look at the next one.

6:18 The next one is she sometimes eats meat.

6:23 She sometimes eats meat.

6:25 Let's break down this sentence.

6:27 She is our subject, right?

6:29 Subject is here.

6:31 Adverb of frequency sometimes.

6:34 Sometimes here in the middle 50 50%ish.

6:38 Okay.

6:38 Then our verb is eats.

6:41 What does she eat?

6:43 Meat at the end.

6:44 Okay.

6:45 So in this sentence,

6:46 please note we have eats because this verb must match the subject.

6:55 She sometimes eats.

6:57 The subject and the verb match.

7:00 So yes, there is this word in the middle between the subject and the verb,

7:06 but we must match the subject and the verb.

7:08 Okay, not she sometimes eat.

7:11 That's not correct.

7:12 This verb must match the subject.

7:15 Okay, so be careful of this in today's lesson.

7:18 Some examples are coming in.

7:19 Fantastic.

7:20 Okay, Patrick wrote, "I occasionally drink no sugar black coffee before

7:24 work to keep awake." All right, couple points.

7:27 Great job with the grammar.

7:28 I occasionally drink.

7:30 We have the word sugarless.

7:32 Sugarless, which means no sugar.

7:34 So, we have one word for that.

7:36 I occasionally drink sugarless black coffee before work to stay awake.

7:41 We use stay awake in that sentence.

7:43 Okay.

7:44 Uh Rocky wrote, "I always brush my teeth uh both in the morning,

7:48 afternoon, and night." Okay.

7:49 You can just say, "I always brush my teeth in the morning,

7:52 afternoon, and night." We use both for two of something.

7:55 Okay.

7:56 Yes.

7:56 Control desk says sugarfree is something else we can say.

8:00 Facebook, I don't see any examples yet,

8:02 so I'm going to read your YouTube classmates.

8:04 Your YouTube classmates have a huge page in the chat right now.

8:06 So, I'm going to choose a few and then we're going to continue.

8:10 Great job, YouTube.

8:11 Oh my gosh.

8:12 M uh Mina read, "I often study English,

8:14 but this month I occasionally did it." Oh, okay.

8:17 I often study English,

8:19 but this month we might use a negative for the second one to show some contrast.

8:24 So, we'll practice that in a minute.

8:25 Nice start, Mina.

8:26 Uh, I sometimes drink milk.

8:29 I hope you do.

8:30 I hope you never eat milk.

8:31 That means the milk is not good.

8:33 Okay.

8:34 Drink drink.

8:35 We use drink for liquids.

8:37 Uh, Sushan wrote, "I always sleep late at night." Good.

8:40 Or, "I always go to sleep late at night, maybe." Uh, okay.

8:45 Great.

8:45 Some examples are coming on Facebook.

8:47 He usually does sports.

8:49 For sports, we use the verb play.

8:51 He usually plays sports.

8:53 like he usually plays sports on the weekends.

8:56 Good one.

8:57 Uh Iris wrote, "She always takes the bus in the morning." Nice one, Iris.

9:01 Okay, back to YouTube.

9:02 Uh Nevian wrote, "I always wake up at 5:00 a.m.

9:05 I sometimes get up at 9:00 a.m." Nice one.

9:08 Let me see.

9:08 Oh my gosh, so many.

9:10 Stalin wrote, "I usually make my breakfast at 700 p.m.

9:13 Breakfast is a morning food.

9:16 700 p.m.

9:17 is the evening." Which one do you want?

9:19 Do you want dinner or do you want 7 a.m.?

9:22 So, we need to match those two.

9:23 You're very close.

9:24 Grammar is correct.

9:26 Okay, let's move on to the next examples then.

9:28 Great job, everybody.

9:29 I'll come back to the chat in just a moment.

9:32 Let's look at some more.

9:34 They often go to the movies.

9:36 They often go to the movies.

9:38 Subject is they, two or more people, right?

9:42 Our adverb of frequency is often about here, right?

9:46 Often.

9:47 Our verb is go.

9:50 And where do they go?

9:51 To the movies.

9:52 They often go to the movies.

9:54 So they and go, our subject and our verb match, right?

10:00 They often go to the movies.

10:02 The next one, a never sentence.

10:06 We never drink alcohol.

10:09 We never drink alcohol.

10:11 So our subject is we.

10:14 Okay.

10:14 Our adverb of frequency is never.

10:18 0% of the time.

10:19 Then the verb is drink.

10:22 We and drink match as subject and verb.

10:26 We never drink alcohol 0% of the time.

10:29 Okay, last one and then I'll come back to the chat.

10:32 He occasionally travels.

10:34 He occasionally travels.

10:36 Subject is he.

10:38 Our adverb of frequency is occasionally.

10:41 And our verb is travels.

10:45 Z.

10:46 It must match.

10:47 This s is so important.

10:49 Don't forget this s.

10:50 We need it.

10:51 He travels.

10:52 The subject and the verb match.

10:54 Okay.

10:55 So, this is our basic sentence for today's lesson.

10:58 We are going to use this pattern and build on it in part two.

11:02 We're going to add some more in part two.

11:05 Okay.

11:05 Let me check the chat again.

11:07 Um, I'm looking for some examples.

11:11 Ericson wrote, "I sometimes go to the gym." Nice.

11:14 All right.

11:14 Uh Jamie wrote, "I always study English with your ah teachings." We usually say,

11:18 "I always study English with your lessons." So teachings sounds like we usually

11:24 say teachings for like an ancient like an old old like book, right?

11:30 Something from like the ancient world many hundreds or thousands of years

11:35 ago like a very wise person like a master of religion or spirituality.

11:41 like an ancient wise person, an ancient very smart person.

11:45 That's something we use the word teachings for, or maybe a religious leader.

11:49 Yeah, for me, for a teacher, say lessons.

11:52 Okay, I enjoy your lessons.

11:54 Yeah, always say lessons in this situation, but grammar was great.

11:58 Thanks, Jamie.

11:59 Okay.

12:00 Um, let's see some others that I have not read yet.

12:05 Uh, Mosin on you or on Facebook wrote,

12:09 "Have you a YouTube channel?" Yes, there is a YouTube channel.

12:11 There's a very big YouTube channel where a lot of people are watching right now.

12:14 English class 101 on YouTube and on Facebook.

12:18 Okay.

12:18 Kashoff wrote, "I occasionally eat sweets.

12:21 I never eat refined sugar." Nice one.

12:23 Uh Sishma wrote, "I rarely use public transport." Very nice.

12:27 Nice examples, everybody.

12:28 Great job.

12:29 Okay, let's take a quick break and then we'll continue to part two

12:33 where we add some points to this grammar to help you express your habits.

12:38 Okay.

12:39 So, if you missed it,

13:28 Then if you haven't, please please please make sure to hit the like button

13:31 and share this video because it helps other people find today's lesson.

13:36 Okay.

13:37 Uh nope nothing.

13:39 Uh control desk I do not.

13:40 Okay.

13:41 Let's go to negative statements.

13:43 Okay.

13:44 This is very important.

13:45 It sounds bad but this is a very important kind of pattern to use.

13:51 Okay.

13:52 So we are going to practice negative statements

13:55 with the same base pattern that we used in part one.

14:00 However, we are going to make one change.

14:03 First let's look at the basic pattern.

14:06 Subject plus adverb of frequency.

14:08 So this is the same as part one.

14:10 Same words exactly the same.

14:14 We are going to add don't or doesn't to the sentence to match the subject.

14:22 Right?

14:22 So again we must match this part don't or doesn't to the subject.

14:28 In this pattern the verb will not change.

14:31 Okay?

14:32 This part don't or doesn't must change to match the subject.

14:36 Also I have this note here.

14:38 Some adverbs take different positions in this one.

14:42 Okay.

14:43 You might think what does that mean?

14:44 What?

14:45 So these two parts might change.

14:48 We're going to look at this in a moment.

14:50 So let's begin and go through the examples so I can show you the guidelines.

14:55 All right.

14:55 First one, she sometimes doesn't eat meat.

14:59 She sometimes doesn't eat meat.

15:01 So she is the subject.

15:03 Okay.

15:04 Same as part one.

15:05 Here's our adverb of frequency.

15:07 Sometimes.

15:08 Okay.

15:08 Same as part one again.

15:10 here.

15:11 She sometimes doesn't.

15:13 All right, our negative point.

15:15 And finally, our verb eat.

15:18 No change to the verb here.

15:20 Now, in this sentence, we have doesn't, which matches Oh my gosh.

15:25 which matches the verb she.

15:27 Okay, she and doesn't.

15:30 This is the negative form of eat, right?

15:33 She does not eat.

15:34 Yeah, we cannot use don't.

15:37 Okay.

15:37 So, she sometimes doesn't eat meat.

15:41 Notice with the verb or with the adverb sometimes, the negative comes after.

15:48 All right.

15:49 So, this is important to pay attention to to practice a lot.

15:52 Let's look at the next one then because this one is different.

15:56 Okay.

15:57 I don't always brush my teeth in the morning.

16:01 I don't always brush my teeth in the morning.

16:03 Okay.

16:04 Subject is I.

16:06 Notice now don't is before the adverb of frequency.

16:12 I don't is our negative always and then the verb is after.

16:19 You might think ah is that okay?

16:22 Why not?

16:23 I always don't.

16:25 This is just one of those strange rules of English.

16:29 I don't always.

16:31 I don't always.

16:33 But sometimes don't or sometimes doesn't.

16:37 So when you use always,

16:39 make sure the negative don't or doesn't comes before the adverb.

16:45 Okay, this is one difficult but tricky but learnable point.

16:50 This just takes some practice.

16:51 Okay.

16:52 So, if you want to practice this in the chat,

16:54 you can practice your own I don't always verb in the comments.

16:59 Okay.

16:59 That's a good way to practice today.

17:01 Start by making a sentence.

17:03 Okay.

17:04 Um Ericson wrote, "Can we use rarely and seldom in both ways?

17:09 Do you mean uh in positive and negative?

17:12 As in like I don't rarely." Uh maybe that's your question.

17:16 like using it with the negative like I rarely don't or I seldom don't.

17:21 Yeah, you could say like I seldom don't do something like

17:25 so that's a strange way to say I usually do something.

17:30 So that's something that's it's it's odd.

17:32 Yes, but grammatically correct.

17:34 So for example, um I'm trying to think of an example.

17:38 If I want to say like I usually exercise in the morning,

17:42 you could say I rarely don't exercise in the morning.

17:46 It's strange, but it's okay.

17:48 You can say it that way.

17:49 I hope I answered your question.

17:51 Okay, others.

17:53 Uh, Emanuel wrote, "He doesn't drink tea at night,

17:58 he drinks beer after midnight." So, after 12:00 at night, he drinks beer.

18:04 Is that what you want to say?

18:05 That's That's correct.

18:06 He drinks beer after midnight.

18:08 Uh, l can we use it the other way?

18:10 Can you give me an example?

18:12 What can we use?

18:13 What?

18:14 In what way?

18:14 I need just a little more information there.

18:17 Mino wrote, "I usually uh don't go to bed before midnight.

18:21 I usually go to bed after midnight." There you go.

18:24 Nice.

18:25 Nice contrast there.

18:26 Hey, yeah, you mentioned you used a positive

18:28 and something I suggested as a negative before.

18:31 Great job.

18:32 Um Rocky wrote, "I don't always watch Little Bear

18:36 as I was going to this summer." What is Little Bear?

18:39 Is that a TV show?

18:40 Okay.

18:40 All right.

18:41 All right.

18:41 I don't always watch Little Bear.

18:43 What does the last part mean?

18:44 As I was going to.

18:45 I don't always watch Little Bear.

18:46 As I was going to.

18:48 So, as I was going to means like uh as planned.

18:51 I'm not sure what you want to say there.

18:53 Uh Nivean wrote, "People occasionally don't like to hear the truth.

18:57 I don't always agree with the way

18:59 people think." Nice sentences and deep thoughts.

19:01 We love that.

19:02 Okay, great.

19:03 Um others, uh Rene, Alicia often does not speak Spanish.

19:08 I would say I almost always do not speak Spanish.

19:12 I rarely speak Spanish.

19:14 Okay, that's just that's because I don't speak Spanish.

19:18 All right, I speak.

19:20 All right, let's continue.

19:21 Let's continue to the next example.

19:23 Uh Facebook Oh, sorry, Facebook.

19:25 There are a few.

19:26 Wendy wrote, "I don't always listen to heavy music or heavy metal music.

19:31 I don't always." So, that means sometimes occasionally you do.

19:36 Okay.

19:36 Uh Fernando wrote, "I don't always watch TV at night." And David,

19:40 I don't always buy my Range Rover.

19:43 So, buy is a one-time action.

19:45 Buy a car.

19:46 Unless maybe you have 100 Range Rovers.

19:49 Probably no.

19:50 Right?

19:51 So, I don't always You need to describe a habit.

19:55 Is buying Range Rovers a habit?

19:57 Probably not.

19:58 Right?

19:58 So, maybe you want to say something different.

20:01 Okay, let's continue.

20:03 They don't often go to the movies.

20:05 They don't often go to the movies.

20:07 So subject is they.

20:09 Here is our don't, right?

20:11 They and don't must match.

20:13 Yeah.

20:14 Often is our adverb of frequency.

20:17 And our verb is go.

20:19 They don't often go to the movies.

20:21 All right.

20:22 So this means sometimes they do.

20:24 Or oh, I can give you an extra phrase I did not put up here.

20:28 Let's use this one because I like it and it's very useful and very common.

20:33 The phrase you can put in your notes or I will

20:35 share this as a QR code at the end of the lesson.

20:38 The phrase is every once in a while.

20:44 Every once in a while.

20:47 Every once in a while is maybe like here on the scale.

20:52 It means it's not every week.

20:54 It's not every month.

20:56 Just when I have the feeling, right?

20:59 So I go to the movies every once in a while.

21:02 This is a good one to use.

21:03 Every once in a while.

21:06 Many native speakers think it's and.

21:08 It is not every once and a while.

21:10 It is every once in a while.

21:12 It's a good addition to today's lesson.

21:15 Uh oh, Li, thank you for clarifying.

21:17 Can we put the negative form after the adverb?

21:20 So, this depends on the adverb.

21:23 For the adverb always, it needs to go in front.

21:27 For the adverb, sometimes it goes after.

21:30 So, it depends a little bit.

21:32 We It sounds very strange.

21:34 For example, if I put I always don't brush my teeth in the morning, I guess.

21:39 But maybe I have a better example because that one's kind of gross.

21:42 Like, I always don't do something.

21:46 I guess we could say that, but we usually say never.

21:49 Like, I never do something.

21:52 So, it it does sound a little bit weird.

21:55 This I don't always sounds like it's occasional.

21:59 Is it something we occasionally do?

22:01 Okay, I hope I answered that question.

22:03 Ericson, thank you for clarifying.

22:05 Can we use rarely and seldom interchangeably?

22:08 For the meaning, yes.

22:09 For the meaning, yes.

22:11 Seldom tends to sound a little old-fashioned, though.

22:14 Personally, I can't remember the last time I used seldom.

22:18 I personally do.

22:19 I seldom use seldom.

22:22 I use rarely if I need to.

22:24 So, this one is I recommend rarely for everyday speech.

22:28 Seldom sounds a little bit older, but they mean the same thing.

22:32 Yes.

22:32 Uh, some other examples are coming in on Facebook.

22:35 Marie or Maria, I don't always go to the market.

22:38 Nice one.

22:39 Okay.

22:40 Um, he don't always ah, watch out.

22:44 So, he don't or doesn't, right?

22:47 He doesn't always disturb me or he doesn't.

22:51 Maybe you want to say he doesn't always interrupt me.

22:54 So to disturb someone when talking means

22:57 like to quickly go into the conversation, to quickly change the conversation.

23:02 You want the verb interrupt.

23:04 He doesn't always interrupt me, but he usually interrupts me.

23:08 That's unfortunate.

23:09 Good sentence.

23:10 Good idea, though.

23:11 Okay.

23:11 Uh let's continue uh to the next one.

23:15 I see people are sending some examples.

23:17 I will come back to the chat in just a moment.

23:19 He occasionally doesn't attend meetings.

23:22 He occasionally doesn't attend meetings.

23:24 Subject is he.

23:26 Here we have occasionally.

23:28 Notice doesn't comes after this adverb.

23:31 Yeah, he occasionally doesn't.

23:34 So, uh, doesn't needs to come after our adverb.

23:38 Our verb is attend.

23:39 He occasionally doesn't attend meetings.

23:42 And lastly, we often don't communicate every day with my coworker, right?

23:47 We often don't communicate every day.

23:49 We don't need to.

23:50 So again subject our adverb of frequency here is

23:55 don't after the adverb and our verb is communicate.

24:01 Yeah.

24:01 So please note again when we use always we

24:04 tend to put the negative in front of the adverb.

24:08 Okay.

24:09 Uh also you'll notice we don't have never here right?

24:14 Like I never don't do something.

24:16 We can't put them together right?

24:18 So don't worry about never in this pattern.

24:21 Notice it's not in any of the examples, right?

24:24 So we want to use probably these up here.

24:29 Yeah.

24:30 Okay.

24:30 So let's uh Oh my gosh, time is running out.

24:33 And I just have a very very quick uh example.

24:35 Oh my gosh, I just realized I made a small typo there.

24:38 I must fix it.

24:40 That looks very funny.

24:41 So, in the final part of today's lesson,

24:44 we're going to talk about desired habits, things we want to be able to do,

24:51 and we're going to practice linking verbs together.

24:55 Okay, so we're going to talk about beginning a new pattern for yourself.

25:00 All right, so the final point, desired habits.

25:04 Our final pattern, our last pattern for today is I want to start verbing.

25:10 I want to start verbing.

25:12 Okay, so you can think about this and prepare your example sentences.

25:16 I will come review uh your examples really quickly.

25:20 Someone on YouTube says the link doesn't open.

25:22 Which link?

25:23 Uh they can take a look at maybe the on a different browser or something.

25:29 Control S just checked it and it looks okay.

25:31 So maybe try again.

25:33 Um, okay, Wendy, I hope I mentioned the answer to your question maybe two times.

25:39 Again, with always, it goes in front.

25:41 Yeah, I don't always, right?

25:42 If you say I always don't, it's we can understand, but it sounds strange.

25:47 We usually use never there.

25:49 The others, they go after.

25:51 Okay.

25:52 Uh, some other ones I hope, yeah, I hope that I answered that question.

25:58 How to know?

25:59 So for today, the guide is put uh the negative in front of always.

26:05 Yeah.

26:05 For the others we practice today, the don't or doesn't can come after.

26:10 Yeah.

26:11 So I hope that's a good guide for today.

26:13 Okay.

26:14 Oh my gosh.

26:14 Let's finish then with today's last point because time's running out.

26:18 Let's go back.

26:18 I want to start verbing.

26:20 Okay.

26:21 Where our verb Oh, I changed to black.

26:23 Sorry everybody.

26:24 The verb at the end of this pattern is in the ing form and we have

26:32 start here for beginning a new habit or we can use stop for a bad habit.

26:40 Okay.

26:41 So today I put positive habits on the board but you

26:45 can put some examples of negative habits in the chat too.

26:48 I will share a negative habit as well.

26:50 Okay.

26:50 So let's take a look at our examples.

26:53 First one, I want to start exercising.

26:56 I want to start exercising.

26:58 So, I want to in this case start.

27:01 So, a new habit.

27:03 Begin a new habit.

27:05 Exercising.

27:06 Right?

27:06 This means I do not exercise now, but I want to begin.

27:12 Okay?

27:13 I want to start exercising.

27:15 Native speakers will reduce this part to I wanna I w to start exercising.

27:23 Okay, very common one.

27:25 All right, let's look at the next one.

27:27 I want to start learning how to cook.

27:30 I want to start learning how to cook

27:32 or just I want to start cooking is also okay.

27:35 So, let's break this down again.

27:37 I want to start for a new habit.

27:41 Then the ing verb.

27:43 I want to start learning something.

27:46 I wanted to use this one because you

27:48 can change this to anything you want to learn.

27:52 I want to start learning how to blah blah blah.

27:56 Right?

27:56 I want to start learning how to swim.

27:58 I want to start learning how to fly a plane.

28:01 Right?

28:02 So, we can use lots of different things in this pattern.

28:05 You can put your next study goal in here.

28:08 Uh um David on Facebook wrote, "I want to start learning Arabic." Nice one.

28:12 Okay.

28:13 Um YouTube.

28:14 Um there's an example sentence I cannot read, but let's go to the others.

28:20 The Black Eagle wrote, "I want to start jogging at the park." Nice one.

28:24 Patrick, I don't want to smoke cigars again like I used to when I was younger.

28:28 Okay, so I don't want to.

28:30 Yeah, let's talk about this pattern I mentioned before.

28:34 Stop, right?

28:35 We can use stop for a habit we have now we want to quit.

28:40 Okay.

28:41 So h actually let me read the last one

28:44 and then I'll add a negative pattern at the end.

28:47 Uh we have a little time.

28:48 So the last one is I want to start making music again.

28:52 I want to start again.

28:54 Right here shows us we want to begin the habit plus the ing form.

28:59 And then here I included again.

29:02 I want to start making music again.

29:05 Using again tells us you did this habit, you had this habit before and then you

29:11 stopped but you want to start one more time.

29:15 So I want to start making music again or I want to start exercising again.

29:20 That sounds like you started the habit,

29:22 stopped the habit and now you want to start again.

29:25 Okay, now let's look at that last pattern I talked about with stop.

29:29 For example, I want to stop.

29:36 There are many bad habits we could put in here.

29:38 I think I saw somebody put I want to stop smoking, right?

29:42 Maybe for me I want to stop uh I want to stop eating junk food.

29:49 I love eating junk food sometimes.

29:51 I want to stop eating junk food.

29:54 Okay.

29:55 So in this sentence I have stop instead

29:59 of start and I have eating as my ing verb.

30:03 So this sentence this pattern means I have

30:06 the habit now and I want to stop the habit.

30:10 Okay.

30:11 So we can use the same pattern but with different verbs

30:15 here to show that we want to start or stop something.

30:19 Okay.

30:20 Let me check the chat one more time and then we'll be done for today.

30:23 Um, Fernando wrote, "I want to start a new business." Okay,

30:26 that's a desire, but it's not a new habit, right?

30:30 A little different.

30:31 Like, I want to start planning for a new business.

30:35 Maybe it's a little closer,

30:37 but we want to use this pattern for our personal regular life habits.

30:42 Yeah, Iris wrote, "I want to start eating healthy food." Great one, Iris.

30:46 Good habit.

30:47 Um, back on YouTube.

30:49 Oh my gosh.

30:50 Um, Erikson wrote, "I want to start playing Roblox." Okay, good.

30:55 Uh, Sushma wrote, "I want to stop shopping frequently." Good.

30:58 Mina wrote, "I want to stop going to bed at midnight." Good.

31:01 Um, Lig, is it the same way?

31:04 H, if we know when we will start.

31:06 Um, good question.

31:08 Yeah, I guess so.

31:09 I think if we if if you know you are going to start like for example if you

31:15 made a gym membership you can say I wanted

31:19 to start exercising so I made a gym membership.

31:23 You might use the past tense for that like I wanted

31:27 to start learning how to cook so I I found a cooking class.

31:32 So maybe you would use past tense and then explain your plan.

31:37 Maybe that helps answer your question.

31:39 Okay.

31:40 Uh, Kachaf wrote, "I want to start reading books." Nice.

31:43 And I want to stop being impunctual.

31:45 Okay.

31:46 Again.

31:46 All right.

31:47 I want to stop being I would say I want to stop being late for things.

31:52 Yeah.

31:52 I want to stop being late or just I want to start being punctual again.

31:58 Yeah, I would.

31:59 For me, I would say it in a positive

32:00 way to sound uh nice and kind of optimistic.

32:04 All right.

32:04 Oh my gosh, there are so many today.

32:06 Great.

32:06 on Facebook.

32:07 Uh Mosin al-Assan wrote, "I want to start, don't forget this verb,

32:11 I want to start writing again in the morning."

32:15 I want to start writing again in the morning.

32:18 Uh Israel, I desire to start traveling

32:21 for or to or to the south uh to South Africa, the country South Africa.

32:26 So, I want to start traveling to.

32:29 For travel destinations, we use to.

32:32 I hope that answers your question.

32:34 Oh my gosh.

32:35 Uh, Rocky, good question.

32:37 Is it okay to use have to, as in I have to stop drinking soda?

32:41 Yes, great addition.

32:42 I love that.

32:42 I'll add that here.

32:44 I have to.

32:45 So, this is not a desire, but this is like,

32:48 oh, it's very important for my life, right?

32:51 Or a doctor might say, you have to stop smoking, right?

32:55 So, this have to is used for a strong suggestion.

32:58 So, yes, grammatically correct.

33:00 It does change the meaning a little bit.

33:03 Okay, I have to finish there for today.

33:05 Oh my gosh, great examples, everybody.

33:06 I love that.

33:07 Facebook and YouTube, everybody.

37:55 I have a lot so I want to begin as soon as possible.

37:58 Hello, YouTube chat.

37:59 I will start there.

38:00 Hello, Jacob from Tennessee.

38:01 Mino, what's up?

38:03 Christian from Chile.

38:04 Nevian, my name is Alicia, not Ashley, but close.

38:07 Uh, who else?

38:08 Uh, Omar, hi.

38:10 Niharu from Bangladesh, what's up?

38:12 Patrick, hey M, what's up?

38:15 Hello.

38:15 Rafica, hello.

38:17 Pablo, hello.

38:18 Oh my gosh.

38:18 And then Facebook.

38:19 I don't see Facebook yet.

38:20 Facebook is coming soon, I think.

38:22 Maybe I will check that in just a moment.

38:24 Okay, while we wait, or let's just get started.

38:27 I'll come to Facebook in a second.

38:29 I want to begin today with a warm-up

38:32 question for everybody watching live or watching later.

38:36 Just to begin today's lesson, I want you to finish this sentence.

38:41 Finish the sentence to share your opinion about AI technologies.

38:46 Very simple sentence.

38:47 So, you can choose how high level or lowlevel you want to make it.

38:52 Let's finish this.

38:53 I think AI is blah blah blah.

38:58 Okay.

38:58 So, what is your opinion about AI and AI technologies?

39:03 Let's look at three different grammar patterns

39:06 we can use to finish this sentence.

39:08 You can choose one from here or you can write your own in the comments.

39:12 So, first let's look at some adjective patterns we can use to finish this.

39:18 I think AI is really cool.

39:21 I think AI is really cool.

39:22 Or I think AI is scary.

39:26 Or I think AI is hard to understand or difficult to understand is okay too.

39:33 I think AI is very powerful.

39:37 I think AI is interesting or I think AI is dangerous.

39:42 Right?

39:43 So there are many different opinions about this topic.

39:46 But what do you think about AI?

39:48 Maybe you think many of these.

39:50 I think AI is very powerful, very interesting, but also dangerous.

39:57 For example, we can put them together in this way.

40:00 So maybe you want to use an adjective.

40:03 You can use an ing verb if you want to make a guess

40:07 about the future or if you want to talk about something happening now.

40:12 So let's look at these three examples.

40:15 We can say I think AI is going to take everyone's jobs.

40:22 I think AI is going to take everyone's jobs.

40:24 I know many people are worried about this, right?

40:27 Or I think AI is making life easier.

40:33 Making life easier.

40:34 Note that we have the comparative form easier here, right?

40:39 Easier.

40:40 This means easier than before.

40:44 AI life.

40:45 Okay.

40:46 So, I think AI is making life easier.

40:48 Or we can use another prediction.

40:50 Notice to make a prediction, to make a guess, we use going to, right?

40:55 I think AI is going to help us work more efficiently.

41:01 I think AI is going to help us work more efficiently.

41:05 Notice here also we have more in this expression.

41:10 AI is going to help us work more efficiently.

41:13 This means more efficiently than before.

41:17 So, you may see lots of comparisons in sentences expressing opinions about AI.

41:24 Okay.

41:24 I see some people are writing their answers in the chat.

41:27 I'll take a moment.

41:28 Ericson wrote, "I think AI is our new source of knowledge." Interesting.

41:32 Okay.

41:33 I think I disagree.

41:34 I think AI takes existing knowledge,

41:37 but maybe we'll see diff developments in the future.

41:40 Okay, great.

41:42 Um, Stalin, I maybe I think that maybe I think AI is my teacher.

41:49 Okay, so I think AI is maybe like a teacher or AI is a new kind of teacher.

41:55 Yes, I know many people use it to learn things.

41:57 Okay, Mino wrote, I think AI is too powerful for me to use it effectively.

42:02 Interesting.

42:03 Okay, that's an interesting perspective.

42:05 Ericson has another one.

42:06 I think AI is dope.

42:08 Okay, cool.

42:09 All right, I like that.

42:10 Uh, Mon wrote, I think AI is the best in the world.

42:14 Uh, because it help it helps me uh think maybe

42:18 think about different things in my life and make correct decisions.

42:22 Interesting.

42:22 Okay.

42:23 So, I think AI is good because it helps

42:25 me maybe think differently and make the correct decisions.

42:29 Okay, that's interesting.

42:30 Yeah, I I know that it's it's an interesting

42:33 tool to think it from a different viewpoint, right?

42:36 To help you think from like a different uh a different perspective.

42:41 Yeah.

42:42 Okay.

42:42 Nevian wrote, "I think AI is a good tool to learn about anything." Okay, good.

42:48 A good tool singular.

42:50 Yeah.

42:50 Patrick wrote, "I think AI is very scary because it can

42:53 substitute uh substitute for us in almost every place in our society,

42:59 but it helps us a lot if we learn how to use it." Yes,

43:02 that's a lot of interesting opinions together.

43:05 Facebook, I don't see examples yet.

43:07 Facebook, you can do it.

43:08 Send some examples.

43:09 What do you think about AI?

43:10 Your warm-up question for today.

43:12 Your YouTube classmates are doing amazing.

43:14 Uh let's see.

43:15 Victor wrote, "I think AI is an excellent tool

43:17 to get fast information but not to have strategies." Ah,

43:21 but not to make a strategy.

43:22 Okay, that's interesting.

43:23 So like a search tool maybe we can get information fast but uh it's

43:29 difficult to use to make a to make a plan perhaps or make a strategy.

43:33 Great.

43:33 Rafika wrote, "I think AI is beautiful artificial intelligence." Okay, great.

43:38 Uh Omar wrote, "I think maybe AI is helping us to learn English." Yes,

43:42 I know many people are using now AI tools to support their learning.

43:47 I think it's very difficult to learn a language 100% with AI tools,

43:52 but I think this is another tool we can use to support our learning.

43:56 Great.

43:57 Okay, nice examples so far everybody.

44:00 Facebook, I don't see them yet.

44:01 I see.

44:01 Hello.

44:02 Hello, Facebook.

44:03 Let's go to the last few.

44:05 I want to introduce a few patterns.

44:07 Oh, sorry.

44:08 Maybe we can move the screen control desk.

44:10 Thank you so much.

44:11 The noun patterns are the last one.

44:14 So, I think AI is a helpful tool.

44:19 Some of you wrote this in the comments already.

44:21 I think AI is a helpful tool or I think AI is a dangerous idea.

44:27 Right?

44:27 I know many people think this also or they think

44:30 it's like the science fiction movies where the robots take over.

44:33 Maybe we don't know.

44:35 Or I think AI is a weird concept.

44:39 A weird concept.

44:40 is just a strange idea.

44:42 Many people think this also.

44:44 So we can use many different grammar points

44:47 to share our opinion about AI and AI technologies.

44:51 And of course we can combine them.

44:53 Many of you have combined them.

44:54 That was great.

44:55 Really fantastic.

44:56 See, we can see even in the chat that people

44:59 have many different ideas and lots of different feelings about AI.

45:03 It's interesting, but it's scary.

45:05 It's a useful tool.

45:07 We're going to talk about this more today.

45:09 Okay.

45:09 Uh oh good some examples.

45:11 Uh one example I see on Facebook Jalal wrote I think AI is a helpful tool.

45:16 So AI is a helpful tool.

45:18 Don't forget your article.

45:20 AI is a helpful tool to develop the researchers thinking ah and investigations.

45:25 Okay.

45:25 I to say it naturally.

45:26 I think AI is a helpful tool uh for researchers to help develop

45:32 their thoughts and their ideas maybe is how I might say that naturally.

45:37 Okay.

45:38 Great.

45:38 Very nice warm-up everybody.

45:40 So, let's continue on to the second part.

45:42 I'll remind you very quickly, just very quickly,

45:44 if you missed it, there's a big sale.

45:46 You can see this banner right here.

45:47 There's a big sale.

46:05 It's pretty amazing.

46:06 So you can find the details here.

46:08 I'll remind you again later.

46:10 Okay, let's go to the next part.

46:12 Uh if you haven't also please make sure to like this video

46:15 and share it so that other people can find the lesson.

46:18 Okay, let's continue to key vocabulary.

46:21 This part was difficult because there are many key vocabulary words now.

46:26 So I chose some that we see a lot in the news

46:29 and that we use a lot when we use AI tools.

46:33 Okay.

46:34 So, let's break them down because some are a little confusing, I think.

46:38 The first one is a verb.

46:40 Okay.

46:41 The verb is to prompt.

46:43 To prompt, we see this verb a lot in more formal situations.

46:49 For example, in like a business presentation.

46:52 So for example, when you see like um the head of chat GPT,

46:56 Sam Alman or maybe Mark Zuckerberg, the head of Facebook,

46:59 when they give a presentation about AI or their company's AI technologies,

47:05 they often will use like this kind of verb to talk about using the tool.

47:10 So to prompt means to write instructions

47:15 the AI program uses to create something.

47:19 So this one is we if you have used an AI

47:23 tool and you write you type something into the text box there

47:27 say please make this or please find that you can use

47:31 the verb to prompt that's the verb we use here but this sounds

47:35 a little formal okay so I'm going to explain in the next

47:38 verb a better verb to use but you will hear this in news

47:43 articles and speeches so here's an example sentence I prompted the tool

47:48 to make an image I prompted the tool to make an image.

47:52 Here we have prompt in past tense.

47:55 This takes the regular past tense form.

47:58 Just add e d to the end.

48:00 So I prompted the tool to make something for me.

48:04 Okay?

48:04 So you'll see this.

48:06 However, I recommend in everyday speech,

48:08 in everyday communication, please use the verb to ask.

48:13 To ask like to make a request, right?

48:15 We use ask.

48:16 This is the conversational version of prompt.

48:19 It means the same thing when you write the instructions

48:23 to chatg or to whatever tool you prefer to use

48:28 deepseek I don't know when you write the instructions

48:30 in the AI program you can use the verb to ask.

48:34 So for example here I asked the tool I asked the tool to make an image.

48:42 Okay.

48:42 So, please use the verb ask in everyday speech.

48:46 You should know this one prompt as well.

48:48 And there's another reason we need to know the word

48:50 prompt because we use this one more as a noun.

48:55 Prompt can be used as a noun and is used a lot to talk about uh this process.

49:02 So as a noun, a prompt is a set

49:06 of instructions that tells the I the AI what to create.

49:12 So a prompt is the instructions, right?

49:16 The prompt means when you write something in the chat GPT box, right?

49:20 That text is your prompt.

49:23 That text is a prompt.

49:25 Okay?

49:26 That's your instructions.

49:27 That's your request.

49:29 We call that a prompt.

49:30 Okay?

49:30 I hope that's okay.

49:32 So, let's look at this in a sentence.

49:34 I wrote a prompt that takes data from Google and organizes it in a spreadsheet.

49:42 Okay?

49:42 I wrote a prompt here that takes data

49:45 from Google and organizes it in a spreadsheet.

49:48 So, we use the verb I wrote because we type it, right?

49:53 I wrote a prompt.

49:55 Singular, right?

49:57 I wrote a prompt.

49:58 So this means I wrote a set of instructions.

50:01 Okay, that's what a prompt means here that takes data.

50:05 So this part I wrote a prompt that and then here we describe the action.

50:12 We describe the instructions.

50:14 What did I tell it to do?

50:16 Okay, notice we use this verb pattern.

50:18 The prompt takes.

50:20 So we're using present tense.

50:21 Present tense.

50:22 It's a present tense sentence because it's it's like a regular action.

50:26 Yeah.

50:27 So we do not use uh ing verb forms here.

50:30 So when you want to describe your prompts that you use for your AI uh tools,

50:37 you can follow the same pattern.

50:38 I wrote a prompt that plus this use the present

50:42 tense forms of verbs or the present tense endings of verbs.

50:46 Okay, I'll come check the chat really quickly.

50:49 Um some more examples are coming.

50:52 Great.

50:52 Hi Paloma Paloma wrote, "I think AI is dangerous.

50:55 We have to use it carefully and responsibly.

50:57 Great.

50:58 Great.

50:58 Nice use of we have to there also.

51:00 Uh Rodis wrote, "I think AI is gonna replace human beings." Many people,

51:06 yes, many people have this concern.

51:08 Uh to make your sentence perfect, I think AI is going to replace human beings.

51:12 No article.

51:13 We don't need the there.

51:15 Okay.

51:15 Natalie wrote, "I think AI is user friendly to a certain extent." So for think

51:21 of certain extent as like a set phrase to a certain extent then it's perfect.

51:26 Uh Erikson wrote I think AI is not 100% good.

51:30 Sometimes it gives us wrong information.

51:32 Yes.

51:32 Oh you brought up one of the key words I ran out of space for.

51:36 So I will include it here.

51:37 This is a very important word we see a lot but I didn't have space.

51:43 So I'll just write it quickly on the board.

51:45 uh what uh Erikson on YouTube wrote

51:48 describes the word I'll put it here hallucination.

51:52 Hallucination.

51:54 This is a word we use hallucination.

51:59 H A L L U C uh I N A T I O N.

52:04 Hallucination.

52:06 So we used to use this word when we were

52:10 feeling sick or when maybe we had a mental health problem.

52:14 when we imagine something that's not there.

52:17 Okay, usually in before AI,

52:20 we use this word to mean we think of something but it's not there.

52:24 Like for example, when you think, do I hear some music?

52:27 Oh no, it's nothing.

52:28 That's a hallucination, right?

52:30 We think we hear something or we think, oh, I saw something there.

52:34 Oh no, it's nothing.

52:35 So for serious situations, we call that a hallucination.

52:40 However, today when the AI tools give us wrong information very confidently,

52:47 usually this is called a hallucination.

52:51 A hallucination.

52:52 The AI thinks it's correct.

52:54 It presents the information to us, but it is wrong a lot.

52:58 Right?

52:58 This is called a hallucination.

53:01 Okay, key vocabulary word.

53:03 Okay, let's continue.

53:05 Other points.

53:06 Hello, Facebook.

53:06 I don't see many examples of Facebook.

53:08 Facebook, you have a good warm-up.

53:10 If you're joining on Facebook, you can finish the warm-up.

53:12 I will come back and read.

53:13 Okay, let's continue uh to the the last kind of group here.

53:18 I want to include these key words because these get used a lot uh in the news.

53:23 The next one is LLM.

53:26 LLM means large language model.

53:30 Large language model.

53:31 So, you might see this in news articles about development of AI tools.

53:36 The large language model refers to lots and lots of language data that is

53:43 collected by these companies in order to make

53:47 the AI tools speak naturally to you.

53:50 Right?

53:51 So when you use a tool like chat GPT,

53:54 when you when you type to it, when you prompt chat GPT for something,

53:59 it comes back with language that seems very natural,

54:02 like you're talking to a real person, right?

54:05 The background is this large language model.

54:08 So there's training information.

54:11 It pulled it got lots of information from all around the web.

54:15 We use the phrase LLM or large language model

54:18 to talk about how it learned to talk naturally.

54:22 Okay.

54:23 And then the last two points for here I want to talk about these two

54:27 expressions that we have a lot lately which are text to image and text to video.

54:33 text to image and text to video.

54:35 This means you input text.

54:37 So this part right here is the input text.

54:41 Two means it becomes something.

54:45 So in this case, text to image means I write text and I receive an image.

54:51 Yeah.

54:51 So in this case, like I talked about here,

54:54 I write a text prompt like to chat GPT.

54:58 uh make me an image of a pizza that has uh garlic and shrimp toppings.

55:04 I don't know.

55:05 So that gives me a picture of a pizza, right?

55:08 With garlic and shrimp toppings.

55:10 This is a text to image.

55:12 We describe this technology as text to image.

55:15 And text to video I could say,

55:17 make me a short video of a person making a uh making a pizza.

55:22 That is a text to video prompt.

55:25 Okay.

55:25 So, we use these two to talk about the type of uh media we want to get.

55:31 Okay.

55:32 All right.

55:32 I'm coming back to the chat very quickly.

55:35 Uh I don't see other ones in there.

55:37 I don't see other examples.

55:39 So, good.

55:39 Let's continue on.

55:40 Oh my gosh, time goes so fast.

55:43 Let's go to part three then.

55:45 Part three.

55:46 This one is a very important thing to talk about.

55:50 I think I think it's very important to think about the background of AI.

55:54 Of course, we use it and it's a very interesting tool,

55:57 but it's also very important to think about the development.

56:01 So, development means how did we make the AI tool?

56:05 How did the company uh like like DeepSeek, Chachd, Grock,

56:10 uh the Google tools, Gemini, how did those get made?

56:14 Right?

56:14 We think about this a lot.

56:16 And ethics, this is another key word.

56:19 The ethics means the moral ideas.

56:23 So is it right or is it wrong to make

56:27 these kinds of tools in the way that we make them?

56:30 So ethics is the discussion is thinking about it.

56:33 Is this right or is this wrong to do?

56:36 Okay.

56:36 So let's look at some vocabulary

56:39 for the development and the ethics of these tools.

56:42 First is the word model.

56:44 So this doesn't mean like a fashion model in a magazine.

56:47 Unfortunately, we can think of this kind of like we think about

56:51 the model of a car or the model of say a smartphone.

56:55 Yeah.

56:55 So, it's the version of an AI tool.

56:58 The model of an AI tool is the version.

57:01 So, every time the AI tool gets new features or upgrades, it's a new model.

57:07 Here's an example sentence two actually.

57:10 The latest chat GPT model can respond more naturally.

57:14 Right?

57:15 Simple sentence.

57:16 Here is model.

57:17 Yeah, the latest chhatch model.

57:19 If it's easy for you, you can replace model with version, right?

57:24 The chat the latest chatt version can respond more naturally,

57:28 but model is used uh a lot in these news articles.

57:32 And here's one.

57:34 Google's new VEO or VO model makes incredibly realistic videos.

57:40 Maybe you've seen this one.

57:41 It's very interesting to see.

57:42 Here we have model again, right?

57:44 the new VEO or VO model.

57:46 Okay, good.

57:48 Uh some I saw some messages come in.

57:50 Uh Erikson, I see you.

57:52 I have I want to make sure lots of people get a chance.

57:54 I'll come back to you.

57:55 Um the Black Eagle wrote, "I write a lot of information in the prompt

57:59 box so that chat GPT gives me better answers." Yes,

58:02 it seems if you are very specific with your prompts,

58:06 you will get more specific results and you can refine them.

58:09 So it seems learning how to prompt chat GPT and how to prompt

58:13 these tools is a skill that we are many people are developing.

58:18 Okay.

58:19 Um Victor wrote I asked AI ah to text to image about Machu Picchu.

58:24 Then I got a realistic picture.

58:25 Good good example.

58:26 Very close.

58:27 You can just say I asked AI to make or to generate like we did here.

58:33 I asked uh the tool to make an image.

58:36 That's okay.

58:37 So when I introduced text to image and text to video,

58:41 we typically just say like this is a text

58:44 to image tool or this is a text to video feature.

58:48 So when you talk about your prompts,

58:50 usually you don't need to explain this type of prompt.

58:54 So you can just use a pattern like this.

58:56 Yeah, I what was it?

58:57 I prompted or I asked AI uh to make

59:00 an image of Machu Picchu and I got a realistic picture.

59:04 So you can just use make to make something.

59:06 Okay, let's go to what did I put?

59:10 What did I leave off on?

59:11 Copyrighted material.

59:12 Copyrighted material.

59:14 All right, this is a big issue.

59:16 Okay, copyrighted material means text or images

59:20 or video other media that belongs to someone.

59:24 So if you are for example a photographer and you take a picture,

59:28 that picture is your picture, right?

59:30 You own that picture.

59:31 If you put it on your website, that is your picture, right?

59:35 So you are the person, the owner of the copyright.

59:39 So the copyright means that you have the ownership of that thing.

59:44 Okay, this is an important factor, an important point for ai.

59:47 Okay, let's go to the next one.

59:49 We're going to combine this all in our final example sentence today.

59:53 The next key phrase is content scraping.

59:57 Content scraping.

59:58 Content scraping means using robots to search the internet and collect content.

1:00:06 Okay?

1:00:06 So maybe some of you know the verb to scrape.

1:00:09 To scrape means to use a usually to use a tool

1:00:12 to try to get very very small pieces off of something.

1:00:16 For example, using like wood or metal to remove paint from a surface.

1:00:21 We try to scrape or we use

1:00:23 our fingernails to take off small pieces of something.

1:00:26 This is what the verb scrape does.

1:00:29 How we can use the verb scrape to do this action to get

1:00:32 small pieces of something or to dig deep and get small pieces of something.

1:00:38 Content scraping on the internet uses robots to collect that information.

1:00:43 So we can take lots and lots

1:00:45 and lots of information from websites and collect it.

1:00:48 Okay, content scraping.

1:00:50 The verb here is to scrape.

1:00:52 Then the next one is stolen material or stolen source material.

1:00:58 This is a big topic regarding the ethics of AI tool development.

1:01:03 Yeah.

1:01:03 So stolen source material means information used

1:01:07 with no permission without permission to train AI.

1:01:11 Okay.

1:01:12 This is a big topic of discussion that these uh

1:01:15 large companies do content scraping to collect information from YouTube,

1:01:20 from Facebook, from websites, from books, from uh artists and photographers.

1:01:25 They use the robots to collect this information

1:01:28 and they use stolen material to train the AI services.

1:01:33 Okay, so here's our example sentence that uses all of these.

1:01:39 A lot of AI training is done using

1:01:43 stolen material scraped from all over the web.

1:01:48 Okay.

1:01:48 A lot of AI training is done using

1:01:50 stolen material scraped from all over the web.

1:01:53 That's really hard to see.

1:01:54 Sorry.

1:01:55 Fix that.

1:01:55 Scraped from all over the web.

1:01:58 So that means that a lot of the training processes use Sorry,

1:02:04 that's still hard to see.

1:02:05 A lot of these training processes use

1:02:08 material that was taken from someone without permission.

1:02:12 Okay, that was scraped from something on the web.

1:02:15 Okay, so a lot of people,

1:02:17 especially creative people are really unhappy about that.

1:02:20 They were not paid or they were not credited.

1:02:23 So this is a very big topic in AI too.

1:02:25 Of course, it's exciting to think about the tools and how we use them,

1:02:29 but the other side of this is how we develop the tools, right?

1:02:33 Okay, I'll come to the chat.

1:02:35 Oh my gosh, I'm out of time already.

1:02:37 Let's see what other people have written.

1:02:38 The Stalin wrote, "I think AI is a great

1:02:40 tool that helps create and maximize our daily work." Okay,

1:02:44 so maybe similar to it helps us work more efficiently.

1:02:47 Yeah.

1:02:48 Um others Omar wrote, I give it the topic and words related to the topic.

1:02:53 Then I ask it to explain them and correct

1:02:55 my sentences and I ask why you corrected them that way.

1:02:59 Ah, so is that for like how you use it for language learning?

1:03:02 That's really interesting.

1:03:03 Yeah, like I think it's a really interesting tool

1:03:06 to use to uh to work on your language skills.

1:03:09 I know some people also use the uh speech function.

1:03:12 They will talk to AI tools to work on their pronunciation a little bit too.

1:03:17 There are many yeah different ways that people are using these tools.

1:03:21 Monica wrote, I think AI is so powerful uh that we

1:03:25 must uh we must be wise and and use it carefully.

1:03:29 That's how I would say it.

1:03:31 We must be wise and use it carefully.

1:03:33 I like that one.

1:03:34 Um, all right.

1:03:36 I don't see any comments on the Facebook page today.

1:03:39 Very, very slow.

1:03:39 Lots of people saying hello on Facebook.

1:03:41 Well, your YouTube classmates Facebook got you this week.

1:03:44 YouTube classmates are the winner.

1:03:45 Next week, maybe.

1:03:46 All right, I'm out of time again.

1:03:48 Oh my gosh, the time goes so quickly.

1:03:50 But I hope that today you got a good uh understanding

1:03:53 of some key vocabulary words we use um to talk about AI.

1:03:58 Of course, there are many more, but these are the ones we use a lot in everyday

1:04:02 life and we see in the news a lot too.

1:04:05 Uh, so I hope that you can talk more naturally about AI going forward.

1:04:09 If you want to take a screenshot or not a screenshot,

1:04:12 if you want to get these lesson notes now,

1:04:14 I will make a picture for you to save.

1:04:18 So, get your smartphone ready now and you can take a picture

1:04:21 or come back to this live later and you can get it then.

1:04:24 So, if you want to download that, there is your QR code.

1:04:27 I hope that that is helpful for you.

1:04:30 Ah, thank you control desk.

1:04:31 That makes my life so much easier.

1:04:32 Okay, so that is it for this week,

1:04:34 but next week of course I'll be back next week.

1:04:37 The lesson that I planned.

1:04:38 Ah, yes.

1:04:39 So, last week if you joined, we talked about explaining your habits,

1:04:42 your good habits, your bad habits, and your desired habits.

1:04:45 But next week, we are going to talk about just how

1:04:48 to explain those habits in terms of when you do them.

1:04:52 What are the regular like your regular actions?

1:04:55 What is the grammar we use to talk about our regular actions?

1:04:59 So, we're going to talk a lot about uh present tense.

1:05:02 Probably we'll use present tense a lot and maybe some present perfect tense.

1:05:06 So, if you joined two weeks ago, this lesson is like the followup for that.

1:05:10 You'll practice the grammar, you'll practice the vocabulary we used,

1:05:14 but we'll use it in a slightly different way to talk about your regular actions.

1:08:38 Kashaf, hello.

1:08:40 Facebook.

1:08:40 I don't see Facebook people yet.

1:08:42 Facebook, if you're there, say hello.

1:08:44 Okay, we have a lot to cover today and I

1:08:46 like to talk and explain and read your examples.

1:08:49 So, let's get into it.

1:08:50 Hello everybody still joining on YouTube.

1:08:52 Spa Sofa, hello Pu, hello Muhammad.

1:08:55 Hi, Luca.

1:08:56 What's up?

1:08:57 Okay, let's go.

1:08:58 Let's begin.

1:08:59 Today's warm-up question to get you ready.

1:09:03 Please answer in the chat or in the comment section later

1:09:07 your warm-up question for this lesson is what do you do every day?

1:09:12 What do you do every day?

1:09:14 Okay, so we can use this first grammar pattern to answer this question.

1:09:20 In today's lesson, we're going to follow a pattern of positive,

1:09:24 negative, positive, negative.

1:09:26 And so I hope that you practice both parts a lot today,

1:09:30 both positive and negative.

1:09:31 So, let's use this to begin today's lesson.

1:09:36 What do you do every day?

1:09:38 To make this, we have the subject followed

1:09:40 by the present tense verb followed by any present tense verb.

1:09:45 Then we have every.

1:09:47 In this case, to answer this question, this will be every day, right?

1:09:52 But we can use a different point here like

1:09:55 every week or every morning or every night, right?

1:09:59 So, what do you do every day?

1:10:01 Let's take a look at the example sentences.

1:10:04 My answer to this, what do you do every day?

1:10:06 Every day, I I check my emails every day.

1:10:12 I brush my teeth every day.

1:10:14 So, very simple sentence is okay to use here for the warm-up.

1:10:18 Let's take a look at some other examples that use

1:10:20 this pattern while you send your examples in the chat.

1:10:24 Okay, so let's look at the first one.

1:10:26 I brush my teeth every day.

1:10:30 In this sentence, we have our subject I.

1:10:33 We have our present tense verb which matches the subject I.

1:10:38 And what do I do?

1:10:39 I brush my teeth.

1:10:41 So, this is attached to the verb.

1:10:43 And then I have my every plus.

1:10:46 When do I do this or what's the frequency?

1:10:48 Every day, right?

1:10:50 I brush my teeth every day.

1:10:52 All right.

1:10:53 Let's look at the next one.

1:10:54 He drinks coffee every morning.

1:10:57 He drinks coffee every morning.

1:10:59 My subject is he.

1:11:01 My verb is drinks.

1:11:03 Yeah, drinks.

1:11:05 Because it must match the subject.

1:11:07 So don't forget this s.

1:11:09 It must match.

1:11:10 These two must match.

1:11:11 He drinks coffee.

1:11:13 Coffee is attached to the verb, right?

1:11:15 What does he drink?

1:11:15 He drinks coffee.

1:11:17 Here is every plus the point or the time frame, right?

1:11:22 He drinks coffee every morning.

1:11:24 Okay, let me see your examples.

1:11:25 Pew.

1:11:26 Wow, long one.

1:11:26 I wake up at six o'clock in the morning after fresh.

1:11:30 Okay, you put in your daily schedule.

1:11:33 I love that.

1:11:33 Can you make an every sentence?

1:11:36 I blah blah blah every day.

1:11:39 That's nice.

1:11:39 Great job.

1:11:40 In fact, after I freshen up, then I wash my face and breakfast later.

1:11:43 I have a cup of tea and have a lot of fun with my family.

1:11:46 Family.

1:11:46 God, you got it.

1:11:47 Perfect.

1:11:48 You made a perfect paragraph.

1:11:49 I love that.

1:11:51 Try using today's grammar as well.

1:11:53 Okay, Moy says, "What's up?

1:11:54 First time in the class." Welcome.

1:11:56 Okay.

1:11:56 Uh, Ericson wrote, "I do exercise every day." Okay, good.

1:12:01 Or for for the verb exercise, you don't have to use do.

1:12:05 You can just say, "I exercise every day." Then it's perfect.

1:12:09 Okay.

1:12:10 Uh, Rafika, so I do the dishes.

1:12:12 Okay, good.

1:12:13 And then every day, right?

1:12:16 So, finish the sentence with every day.

1:12:19 Okay.

1:12:19 Mino wrote, "I play a video game h on my smartphone every day." Right?

1:12:25 Instead of through smartphone, I play a video game on my smartphone every day.

1:12:29 Okay.

1:12:30 Kashoff has one for Sundays.

1:12:32 I eat burgers every Sunday.

1:12:34 Okay.

1:12:35 Different frequency.

1:12:36 I like that though.

1:12:37 Rodies wrote, "I read a book every day." Okay, great.

1:12:40 Nice.

1:12:40 Uh Omar wrote, "I spend I spend spend because present verb, not past tense.

1:12:46 Very close.

1:12:46 I spend a lot of time with my family every day.

1:12:49 Great.

1:12:50 P who wrote, I watch some English sessions every day.

1:12:52 Okay, good.

1:12:53 Maybe I watch some English lessons every day.

1:12:56 Then it's nice.

1:12:57 Facebook, I see many people on Facebook.

1:12:59 Hello, Nang and Crawford and Mosin from Bangladesh.

1:13:02 What's up, Anuel?

1:13:03 Every day I cook dinner.

1:13:04 Nice.

1:13:05 Okay, good.

1:13:06 Uh, keep going Facebook.

1:13:07 Your YouTube classmates have a big list.

1:13:09 I know that Facebook can do it too.

1:13:12 Uh, let's see.

1:13:12 Who haven't I checked yet?

1:13:14 Uh, Nebian, I walk around with my dog.

1:13:17 Ah, every day in the evening.

1:13:20 Every day in the evening.

1:13:22 So, when you want to put those together, you could say,

1:13:24 I walk around with my dog every evening or every night.

1:13:28 That's fine.

1:13:29 Or, I walk around with my dog every day in the evening.

1:13:33 Also, another point, I saw a few people do this.

1:13:37 Notice, I hope you can see this.

1:13:40 every and day.

1:13:42 There is a space right here.

1:13:44 Every day.

1:13:46 So why is this?

1:13:47 When we use it in this way to talk about frequency,

1:13:51 every day we have a space between the two.

1:13:55 Okay.

1:13:56 However, when we use every day as an adjective, there is no space.

1:14:02 So for example, this is an everyday activity.

1:14:07 In this sentence, every day is used as an adjective and there is no space.

1:14:12 Okay, this is a little bit of a difficult grammar point.

1:14:15 Native speakers also make this mistake a lot in writing.

1:14:18 If you don't understand, that's okay.

1:14:20 But for today's lesson, let's put a space between every and day.

1:14:26 Okay.

1:14:26 Uh Vilen wrote, "Is the word every daily often used?" No,

1:14:30 every daily is not a word.

1:14:32 So, please do not use every daily.

1:14:34 Instead, just say daily.

1:14:37 Daily.

1:14:37 Daily means something you do every day.

1:14:40 So, please use daily.

1:14:41 Okay.

1:14:42 P who wrote, "I apply sunscreen on my face every day." Great.

1:14:46 Good ones.

1:14:47 Facebook, woohoo, got some examples.

1:14:49 Uh, BU wrote, "Uh, I pray five times every day." Great.

1:14:53 Uh, Shafi Shafi, I hope I said your name right,

1:14:57 said, "I don't surf the net every morning." Great.

1:15:00 You got a negative in there.

1:15:01 Nice.

1:15:02 And Savante wrote, "I drive my car every day." Good job, everybody.

1:15:08 Again, watch out.

1:15:09 Watch out for this point here.

1:15:10 There's a space.

1:15:11 Put a space between every and day.

1:15:15 Yeah, this right here is a space.

1:15:17 We must use a space between every and day.

1:15:20 I thought I see lots of people using that.

1:15:22 Okay, great.

1:15:23 Let's continue uh to the next group.

1:15:25 Oh, I didn't finish the first group.

1:15:27 So the next one, the next example, we take a vacation every year.

1:15:33 In this case, the frequency is yearly.

1:15:36 So again, our subject is we.

1:15:39 We have take as the verb which matches the subject we and what do we take?

1:15:46 We take a vacation, right?

1:15:48 Here is every and year for our frequency, right?

1:15:52 We take a vacation every year.

1:15:54 Okay?

1:15:55 So let's continue now to the opposite form.

1:15:59 Let's talk about the negatives for this one.

1:16:01 Okay, control desk.

1:16:03 We're going to move to the bottom of the board if that's okay.

1:16:07 Okay, so let's compare this now to the negative forms.

1:16:11 All right, so when we want to use a negative,

1:16:15 we just need to put a don't or a doesn't in the pattern.

1:16:20 Okay, so subject don't or doesn't.

1:16:24 I don't.

1:16:25 Right.

1:16:26 You don't.

1:16:27 We don't.

1:16:28 Or he doesn't.

1:16:30 She doesn't.

1:16:31 Yeah.

1:16:31 So, plus present verb.

1:16:33 Again, this has no change and every frequency.

1:16:38 Easy, right?

1:16:39 This is the only change.

1:16:40 Let's break down the examples.

1:16:42 You can send your negative in the chat.

1:16:45 Okay.

1:16:46 Some other people are sending some examples.

1:16:48 Great.

1:16:48 I'll come back to the chat after we review this.

1:16:51 I don't exercise every day.

1:16:56 I subject negative.

1:16:58 I don't verb.

1:17:01 I don't exercise every day.

1:17:05 I don't exercise every day.

1:17:07 I exercise every two to three days.

1:17:10 For example, I don't exercise at all maybe.

1:17:13 Okay.

1:17:14 So, this is how we can make the negative.

1:17:16 Put the negative before the verb.

1:17:19 I don't exercise.

1:17:21 Let's look at the next one.

1:17:22 She doesn't call me every week.

1:17:25 She doesn't call me every week.

1:17:27 Here we have the subject she.

1:17:30 Our negative is doesn't.

1:17:32 She does not.

1:17:33 Right.

1:17:34 Our verb is call.

1:17:36 Who does she call?

1:17:37 Me.

1:17:38 And then we have our frequency.

1:17:40 Every week in this case, she doesn't call me every week.

1:17:46 Okay, let's take a look at the examples.

1:17:48 Nivian wrote, "She doesn't do the laundry every day." Perfect.

1:17:51 Nicely done.

1:17:52 Uh, P who wrote, "She doesn't go to the market every day." Perfect.

1:17:56 Well done.

1:17:57 Ericson has a positive.

1:17:58 I play mobile games every day.

1:18:00 Don't forget that space between every and day.

1:18:03 Patrick wrote, "I don't go to work every day." Nice one.

1:18:06 Kashoff wrote, "She doesn't study every day." Kashoff,

1:18:08 you also need a space here in every day.

1:18:10 Many people, many people need the space still.

1:18:13 uh on Facebook uh why Raman wrote,

1:18:18 "I don't go to the gym every day." I don't go to the gym every day.

1:18:23 Then it's perfect.

1:18:24 Back on YouTube, um Omar, I don't call my friends every day.

1:18:30 Good.

1:18:31 Um Rodies wrote, "I don't study English every day." Great.

1:18:34 Unwell on Facebook.

1:18:36 Very close.

1:18:37 They aren't means they are not.

1:18:39 Right.

1:18:40 Choose from these two.

1:18:42 They plus which one?

1:18:44 Which one matches the subject?

1:18:46 They don't, right?

1:18:48 They don't exercise every day.

1:18:50 So are not is different from do not.

1:18:53 Okay.

1:18:54 So they do not exercise every day.

1:18:57 Okay.

1:18:58 Last one.

1:18:59 We don't go skiing every winter.

1:19:02 We don't go skiing every winter.

1:19:04 Subject we negative don't go is our verb.

1:19:10 Do what?

1:19:10 So this gives us the activity.

1:19:12 We don't go skiing.

1:19:14 And here is the frequency.

1:19:16 Every, in this case, a season.

1:19:18 Every winter.

1:19:19 We don't go skiing every winter.

1:19:21 Ph.

1:19:22 Good job.

1:19:23 Looks good.

1:19:23 Everybody listen on Facebook wrote, "I don't play ball every day." Very nice.

1:19:27 And don't forget the space.

1:19:29 Many, many people, many people, that's your practice point.

1:19:32 I see it in the chat.

1:19:33 Many people have this practice point for today.

1:19:36 Watch out for that space between your words.

1:19:38 Uh on Facebook, Abu Salman wrote, "I don't go to work.

1:19:42 I don't go to work every day." Don't forget to I don't go to work.

1:19:46 Okay.

1:19:47 Others back on YouTube.

1:19:48 Art wrote, "I don't eat junk food every other day." Okay, that's very specific.

1:19:54 I don't eat junk food every other day.

1:19:57 So, does that mean you eat junk food every day or once a week?

1:20:01 Yeah, it's very that's a very specific one.

1:20:04 Niharu wrote, "I don't talk to talk to my girlfriend

1:20:09 every day." Watch out for that space there.

1:20:12 Okay, let's continue.

1:20:13 Oh, Omar, your question.

1:20:15 Uh, can I use daily instead of every day?

1:20:18 Yes, you can.

1:20:19 So, I brush my teeth daily, right?

1:20:22 He drinks coffee daily.

1:20:24 Yes, you can use that.

1:20:25 Okay, we got to move along because oh my gosh, that was a long time.

1:20:29 Okay, great.

1:21:27 Many more people to practice.

1:21:28 Let's continue.

1:21:29 Uh questions.

1:21:31 Let's practice making questions now because it is so

1:21:34 important that you know how to ask questions, right?

1:21:38 So many students I have noticed over the years in my classes, they wait, right?

1:21:44 They wait for me, the teacher, to ask the questions.

1:21:48 But you must also practice.

1:21:50 Please practice making questions.

1:21:52 So let's practice now.

1:21:54 Okay.

1:21:54 Questions.

1:21:55 How do we ask a question about someone's habits?

1:21:59 It's easy.

1:22:00 Let's practice.

1:22:01 First, we can begin with two kind of beginnings to the sentence.

1:22:07 WHQ.

1:22:09 This means a wh question.

1:22:12 Wh means who, what, where, when, why, also how.

1:22:18 But today we're I think only doing wh no how examples today.

1:22:23 So we follow this with do or does.

1:22:27 We must be careful of this.

1:22:28 Do or does must match the subject.

1:22:32 Okay?

1:22:33 So do you, does he, does she, do they?

1:22:37 Right?

1:22:38 So be careful.

1:22:39 Make sure this matches right here.

1:22:41 followed by your adverb of frequency.

1:22:44 So, if you joined the lesson two weeks ago, we practiced adverbs of frequency.

1:22:50 I said we would review that this week.

1:22:52 Your adverb of frequency is like sometimes or always or usually or often.

1:23:00 Right?

1:23:00 So, choose your adverb of frequency.

1:23:03 Here you can use uh every or never.

1:23:07 Okay?

1:23:08 And then we use the verb.

1:23:09 Okay?

1:23:10 kind of a long pattern,

1:23:12 but just go piece by piece and choose each section to create a sentence.

1:23:17 Okay?

1:23:18 So, while you think about it, I'll show you some examples now.

1:23:21 Okay?

1:23:21 So, what do you usually eat for lunch?

1:23:27 What do you usually eat for lunch?

1:23:30 Let's break this sentence down.

1:23:32 Wh question what I began here.

1:23:36 what followed by do you here is my subject right so do matches with you do you

1:23:45 does you is incorrect you cannot use does

1:23:48 you does and you do not match okay next

1:23:51 I have the adverb of frequency usually usually

1:23:57 next I have my verb yeah and then we

1:24:00 have the information that tells us about the verb

1:24:04 right so what Do you usually eat for lunch?

1:24:07 Is a basic habit question, right?

1:24:10 Okay.

1:24:10 So, let's practice this kind of question.

1:24:14 This is an information question.

1:24:16 Right?

1:24:16 We started with what in this case.

1:24:19 However, we can remove the wh question from the beginning of the sentence.

1:24:26 We can begin the sentence with do or does.

1:24:31 This is okay.

1:24:32 and it makes a yes or no question.

1:24:36 So let's look at this pattern next.

1:24:39 Do you sometimes go jogging?

1:24:42 Do you sometimes go jogging?

1:24:43 So let's break down this sentence here.

1:24:47 We begin with do you?

1:24:49 Right?

1:24:49 Again, do and you match.

1:24:51 We cannot use does you.

1:24:53 Right?

1:24:53 Does and you do not match in this pattern.

1:24:56 Then we have our adverb of frequency.

1:25:01 Sometimes do you sometimes?

1:25:03 And our verb go plus the information about the verb.

1:25:08 Do you sometimes go jogging?

1:25:10 Do you sometimes go jogging?

1:25:11 Okay.

1:25:12 So, we can ask information questions and yes

1:25:15 or no questions with the same sentence pattern.

1:25:19 We just remove this part.

1:25:21 Okay.

1:25:21 So, a challenge.

1:25:22 You can send your examples in the chat and I will check in.

1:25:26 Um on Facebook, Shafat wrote, "What do you rarely eat for breakfast?" Good.

1:25:34 Okay, just one change.

1:25:35 Eat for breakfast.

1:25:36 For meals, we say we use the preposition for.

1:25:40 What do you rarely eat for breakfast?

1:25:42 Or what do you rarely eat for dessert?

1:25:44 Whatever.

1:25:45 Okay, great one.

1:25:46 Vint wrote, "What do you usually play?" Great.

1:25:49 So maybe like, "What sport do you usually play?" or something like that.

1:25:53 Good.

1:25:53 Or it could be a game also.

1:25:55 All right, let me go to YouTube.

1:25:59 Nebian wrote, "When does she often get her nails done?" Okay, good.

1:26:03 Asking about someone's schedule.

1:26:05 Good.

1:26:05 Mino, what do you usually do after the live stream, Alicia?

1:26:09 I usually eat something because I need some energy.

1:26:12 I need like a cup of coffee after the live stream.

1:26:14 That's what I usually do.

1:26:16 H Natalie wrote, "Do you challenge yourself

1:26:19 to complete the task?" Okay, good sentence.

1:26:22 or do you but do you have a frequency adverb there?

1:26:26 Okay, look for the frequency adverb.

1:26:29 Uh not an example sentence.

1:26:31 It's your question.

1:26:31 Do you teach to Cam Cambridge?

1:26:33 Do I teach I I am not associated with Cambridge.

1:26:36 I don't I'm not sure what the question I don't know.

1:26:39 Anyway, no is the answer.

1:26:41 Uh Victor, where do you usually go to dance?

1:26:44 Great one.

1:26:45 I want to know the answer for everybody.

1:26:47 Where do you usually go to dance?

1:26:49 Okay, good.

1:26:50 Uh, Rocky wrote, "What do you usually like to do?" Great one.

1:26:54 Uh, the Black Eagle, a yes or no question.

1:26:56 Do you usually walk your dog?

1:26:58 Okay.

1:26:59 Or does someone else walk your dog?

1:27:01 Good.

1:27:01 Uh, Patrick wrote, "Which food do you

1:27:04 prefer to eat during the winter?" Nice question.

1:27:07 I like to eat stew.

1:27:09 I think big hearty soups and stews are my favorite thing.

1:27:13 Great.

1:27:13 Um, back on Facebook, wrote, "What do you usually do in the morning?" Nice one.

1:27:19 Loian wrote, "What do you usually cook for dinner?" Great.

1:27:22 Uh, Shafat wrote, "Does she sometimes call?" For call,

1:27:27 we don't need a preposition.

1:27:28 We don't need to.

1:27:29 Does she sometimes call her parents?

1:27:31 Good, good, good, good.

1:27:32 Nice job, everybody.

1:27:33 Let's continue.

1:27:34 Uh, let's finish these examples then.

1:27:37 Some more yes and no questions.

1:27:39 Yeah.

1:27:39 Here we have a different subject.

1:27:41 Yeah.

1:27:41 Does he?

1:27:42 Right.

1:27:43 So, he matches with does.

1:27:45 Does he always work is my Oh my gosh, I didn't know I could do that.

1:27:50 I moved just one letter.

1:27:52 I didn't know I could do that.

1:27:54 Wow, I surprised myself.

1:27:56 Ah, does he always work late?

1:27:59 Does he always work late?

1:28:00 So, this is a good one for uh your co-workers maybe.

1:28:05 And do they?

1:28:07 Here's another one that's a yes or no question.

1:28:10 Do they often is my adverb of frequency and my verb is travel.

1:28:16 Do they often travel?

1:28:17 Do they often travel?

1:28:19 Okay, so very nice job making these.

1:28:21 Now, let's move on to just a couple examples

1:28:25 of this grammar in the negative because this is not so common.

1:28:32 However, you do hear it sometimes.

1:28:35 So, let's try to understand why we use these kinds of sentences.

1:28:39 I included just two examples because this isn't super common,

1:28:44 but I want to talk about the nuance behind this.

1:28:47 So, first let's look at the grammar.

1:28:49 The grammar is very very similar to our first pattern.

1:28:53 So, the first example is what don't you usually do for exercise?

1:29:00 What don't you usually do for exercise?

1:29:02 This sentence follows the same pattern as this, right?

1:29:06 However, the change is this is now in the negative, right?

1:29:10 Easy, right?

1:29:12 Same pattern.

1:29:13 What don't you usually do?

1:29:15 Right?

1:29:16 Everything is the same, but this part is negative.

1:29:19 So, you might think that's kind of a strange sentence.

1:29:22 What don't you usually do for exercise?

1:29:26 this question.

1:29:28 We use these like negative questions about

1:29:31 people's habits when we want to confirm something.

1:29:36 So for example, let's imagine like I'm a person.

1:29:41 I love exercise.

1:29:42 Just for example, I exercise every day.

1:29:45 I do swimming and biking and climbing and skiing and snowboarding.

1:29:51 I play basketball, soccer.

1:29:52 I do all the sports.

1:29:54 I love it.

1:29:55 Right.

1:29:55 and you learn this about me.

1:29:58 You're like, "Wow, you play so many sports.

1:30:01 You do so many things." So you surprised, you might be like,

1:30:05 "Wow, so what don't you usually do for exercise?" You're so surprised.

1:30:12 You're like, "Wow, is there something you do not do?" Okay,

1:30:17 so it's usually used to confirm information like this.

1:30:21 Wow, that's a lot.

1:30:23 What don't you do?

1:30:24 So, you will often see people use these kinds of questions

1:30:28 as a way to kind of praise or to show like,

1:30:32 "Wow, that's amazing." I saw this recently in like an Instagram comment.

1:30:37 I saw it was like a very creative

1:30:39 person's Instagram post and in the comments like

1:30:43 the creator made this post about uh beautiful

1:30:46 videos and photography and they directed this film.

1:30:50 They showed many different skills in the post

1:30:53 and in the comments was this kind of question.

1:30:56 The person wrote, "Wow, what don't you do?

1:31:00 What creative work don't you do?" to show, "Wow, you do a lot of things." Okay,

1:31:05 so this kind of sentence pattern is not super common,

1:31:09 but we use it to confirm something and often to praise someone.

1:31:13 Okay, so let's look at the second one then.

1:31:16 Why doesn't he usually come to meetings?

1:31:19 Why doesn't he usually come to meetings?

1:31:21 Okay, so this is an example of one that's not uh to praise someone,

1:31:28 but we need to confirm something.

1:31:31 Okay, in this case, our question is why?

1:31:34 Here is the negative.

1:31:35 Why doesn't he usually come to meetings?

1:31:38 In this case, we need some information.

1:31:41 We want to confirm the reason for something.

1:31:44 Why doesn't he usually come to meetings?

1:31:46 It's kind of strange.

1:31:47 Yeah.

1:31:48 So we have the same pattern.

1:31:50 Why doesn't he?

1:31:51 These two match, right?

1:31:52 Our adverb of frequency and our verb.

1:31:55 Why doesn't he usually come to meetings?

1:31:57 That's so strange.

1:31:58 Everybody else comes to the meetings.

1:32:00 Yeah.

1:32:01 So this is a little unusual, but it is important to practice.

1:32:05 Oh my gosh, I am so late.

1:32:06 So let's continue quickly on to the last part.

1:32:10 Then the last part, we'll finish now with uh another simple pattern.

1:32:15 We are going to use positive always and negative never.

1:32:21 Okay.

1:32:21 So we're going to follow the same pattern kind of that we used in part one.

1:32:28 Very very simple pattern.

1:32:30 So with always we can say subject always present verb.

1:32:35 All right.

1:32:35 So you can put something you always do in the comments

1:32:39 and the opposite something you never do in the comments.

1:32:43 So let's finish today with an easy practice so that you

1:32:47 can talk about your schedule and you can respond to these questions.

1:32:51 Okay, let's look first one.

1:32:53 I always eat breakfast.

1:32:55 I always eat breakfast.

1:32:56 That's true for me too.

1:32:57 I always eat breakfast.

1:32:59 Subject always and my present tense verb easy.

1:33:03 I always eat breakfast.

1:33:05 So what's something you always do?

1:33:07 Okay, next one.

1:33:09 He always speaks politely.

1:33:11 He always speaks politely.

1:33:13 Here's my subject.

1:33:14 He always and my verb.

1:33:17 Remember, speaks.

1:33:19 This must match the subject.

1:33:21 He always speaks.

1:33:23 Don't forget that s.

1:33:24 We love the s.

1:33:25 Okay.

1:33:26 He always speaks politely.

1:33:28 And lastly, we always uh recycle our trash.

1:33:33 We always recycle our trash.

1:33:36 subject is we always our verb recycle our trash.

1:33:41 Yeah.

1:33:42 So, this shows that this is a very regular habit.

1:33:46 Okay.

1:33:47 All right.

1:33:48 And then let's finish quickly.

1:33:49 I don't see examples yet.

1:33:51 Oh, there's one.

1:33:52 Rocky, I always drink hot chocolate every morning.

1:33:54 Great.

1:33:55 I always drink hot chocolate every morning.

1:33:56 That's nice.

1:33:57 Actually, I always drink coffee in the morning.

1:34:00 But hot chocolate does sound nice, too.

1:34:02 Rafika, I always eat hamburgers every day.

1:34:05 Didn't you write earlier?

1:34:06 I always eat hamburgers on Sunday.

1:34:09 Wasn't that you?

1:34:10 I don't believe you.

1:34:11 Okay.

1:34:12 Okay.

1:34:12 Let's go.

1:34:13 Let's go to the next one.

1:34:15 Uh Erikson wrote, "Does she listen to music?

1:34:18 Music does not take an article.

1:34:20 Does she listen to music every morning?" Okay.

1:34:23 Veilen, good question.

1:34:24 Is it possible to replace always with forever in this pattern?

1:34:28 Like I forever eat breakfast.

1:34:30 No, you cannot replace it.

1:34:32 know forever means you do that action non-stop.

1:34:36 So like I forever eat breakfast doesn't make sense.

1:34:39 We cannot use forever in this pattern.

1:34:42 Okay.

1:34:43 Uh Rocky, what are you sorry for?

1:34:45 You don't have to be sorry for anything.

1:34:46 You didn't do anything wrong.

1:34:48 Okay.

1:34:48 Um let's finish the negative form.

1:34:52 Same pattern as always.

1:34:54 Let's go to the never pattern though.

1:34:57 the negative then I never forget to pay my rent.

1:35:02 I never forget to pay my rent.

1:35:04 Here my subject is I.

1:35:07 Here is never and my verb is forget.

1:35:10 I never forget.

1:35:11 In this case we must follow forget with a infinitive with an infinitive.

1:35:16 Never forget to pay my rent.

1:35:18 Okay.

1:35:18 Next one.

1:35:19 She never drinks alcohol.

1:35:21 She never drinks alcohol.

1:35:23 Here is my subject.

1:35:24 She never drinks is my verb.

1:35:28 Again, this matches the subject, so we must use s.

1:35:31 She never drinks alcohol.

1:35:34 And my neighbors never make loud noises.

1:35:37 My neighbors never make loud noises.

1:35:39 They're so quiet.

1:35:40 So, here is my big subject.

1:35:43 My neighbors, right?

1:35:45 Plural.

1:35:45 My neighbors.

1:35:47 My neighbors.

1:35:48 Yeah.

1:35:48 So, my neighbors never make loud noises.

1:35:53 All right.

1:35:53 So, we can use these to talk about the opposites.

1:35:57 Always and never regular situations.

1:36:01 Okay, Rocky, I had to fix something.

1:36:03 That's why I removed my Oh, okay.

1:36:06 Yeah, don't have to apologize for making a making a change.

1:36:08 That's what we're here to do.

1:36:09 Here to practice.

1:36:10 Okay, let me check some examples quickly and then I have to go.

1:36:13 Oh my gosh, I have one minute.

1:36:15 Uh, nine wrote, "I never eat breakfast at fast food restaurants." Good.

1:36:18 Alexander wrote, "I always sleep early." Very nice.

1:36:22 Oh my gosh.

1:36:22 Oh my gosh.

1:36:22 Oh my gosh.

1:36:23 cancel.

1:36:23 Oh my gosh, I'm trying to get the QR code up here.

1:36:26 All right, good.

1:36:27 Uh Jamal wrote, "He always locks his keys inside the car." Really?

1:36:31 That's no good.

1:36:32 I hope not.

1:36:33 Okay.

1:36:34 Keys inside the car means you cannot get in the car.

1:36:37 Okay.

1:36:38 Uh Patrick wrote, "He never goes to the gym." All right.

1:36:41 Alicia teaches English every week.

1:36:43 That is true.

1:36:44 Does not use always or never.

1:36:45 I have to finish.

1:36:46 So, here is the QR code.

1:36:48 Tada.

1:36:48 For today's lesson notes, we love it.

1:36:51 take a picture there.

1:36:53 And if you can't take a picture there, you can use a screenshot moment now.

1:36:57 Tada.

1:36:58 Great.

1:36:59 Okay, so we'll finish there for today's lesson.

1:37:03 I saw some comments last week that said

1:37:05 some people had an error with the QR code.

1:37:07 So, I hope that gives you a chance.

1:37:09 I have to go.

1:37:10 Oh my gosh, it's the final final moment for me.

1:37:12 I have to go.

1:37:13 So, next week I'll be back.

1:37:14 Thank you so much for your great questions.

1:37:17 That was amazing.

1:37:17 Great examples.

1:37:19 Next week I'll be back.

1:37:19 What did I choose for next week?

1:37:21 Ah, yes.

1:37:21 Next week we're going to talk about relative clauses.

1:37:24 I know that sounds so boring, but it's so important to give lots of details.

1:37:28 So, please join me again next week to practice relative clause grammar.

1:37:33 It's so important to do.

1:37:35 So, we'll do that next week.

1:40:45 So let's start with a warm-up.

1:40:48 your warm-up task or if whether you're watching

1:40:50 this live or later is explain a noun.

1:40:54 Okay?

1:40:54 Just look around your room right now or look at me,

1:40:58 look at your computer or your phone and explain that noun.

1:41:02 Give a small piece of information and give one point of extra detail.

1:41:08 Okay?

1:41:09 Does not need to be difficult.

1:41:11 If you don't know how to do that or if you don't feel confident,

1:41:14 we're going to go through these three steps now.

1:41:17 to help you do that, to help you put two sentences together.

1:41:21 Okay, so we can begin with step one.

1:41:24 Step one is easy, really easy.

1:41:27 Make a simple sentence about the noun.

1:41:30 Make a simple sentence.

1:41:31 Okay, that means you need a subject and a verb.

1:41:34 All right, that's the easiest way to do this.

1:41:36 Okay, let's look at a couple basic examples.

1:41:40 My phone is an iPhone 15.

1:41:43 My phone is an iPhone 15.

1:41:44 Simple sentence.

1:41:46 This is about my phone.

1:41:48 My verb is is.

1:41:49 Yeah.

1:41:50 Or here's another one.

1:41:52 My teacher is very talkative.

1:41:54 My teacher is very talkative.

1:41:56 Very simple sentence, right?

1:41:58 So, choose a sentence that's very easy, right?

1:42:01 Something near you that you can see right now.

1:42:03 Okay.

1:42:04 Step two, choose a detail about the noun.

1:42:09 Any detail is okay.

1:42:11 Small point, big point, whatever.

1:42:13 For example, the phone example.

1:42:15 I said my phone is an iPhone 15.

1:42:18 A detail point.

1:42:20 I bought my phone a few years ago.

1:42:22 Okay.

1:42:22 I bought my phone a few years ago.

1:42:24 Small detail, right?

1:42:25 That's it.

1:42:26 Or in this sentence, I explained my teacher.

1:42:29 My teacher is very talkative.

1:42:31 So my detail point could be she is American or my teacher is American.

1:42:37 Okay.

1:42:39 So how do we put these two sentences together?

1:42:43 Right.

1:42:43 So we have sentence one and sentence one here.

1:42:47 Noun sentence two and detail sentence two.

1:42:50 Today we're going to practice putting these together smoothly and naturally.

1:42:55 All right.

1:42:55 So we're going to look at number three then combine

1:42:59 with who or which before the extra information and after the noun.

1:43:07 Okay.

1:43:07 So let's take a look at our example sentences.

1:43:10 Maybe we can zoom in there.

1:43:12 Control desk.

1:43:12 Sorry, it's a little bit small.

1:43:14 So maybe let's zoom in there and let's break down what's happening

1:43:17 in these sentences so that you can use the same pattern to make your own.

1:43:22 Okay, so first one, the sentence about the phone.

1:43:26 We have my phone which I bought a few years ago is an iPhone 15.

1:43:33 So in this sentence, we combined the basic sentence and the detail sentence.

1:43:39 Let's break down how we did that.

1:43:41 Okay, first I said combine with who

1:43:44 or which before the extra information, right?

1:43:48 Here I put I bought my phone a few years ago.

1:43:52 Right?

1:43:52 So the extra information is this piece here.

1:43:56 I have which right?

1:43:58 I have which and then I bought a few years ago.

1:44:04 Okay, here's my extra information in the sentence.

1:44:07 And notice in the extra information, I didn't say,

1:44:12 "I bought my phone a few years ago." You don't need to include

1:44:15 or rather do not say the noun again in the extra information.

1:44:21 Why?

1:44:21 Because it's the subject of the sentence.

1:44:24 We don't need to say it two times.

1:44:26 Okay?

1:44:27 So, in your extra detail sentence, remove this part about the phone.

1:44:32 Okay?

1:44:33 Then we have my phone is an iPhone 15.

1:44:37 You can see the original sentence remains right here.

1:44:40 Yeah.

1:44:41 So a good way to test if you made your sentence

1:44:46 correctly is if you can see the original sentence is still there.

1:44:52 My phone is an iPhone 15.

1:44:55 This is the original sentence.

1:44:56 Right inside the sentence we dropped which I bought a few years ago.

1:45:02 We just dropped some details into that.

1:45:04 Okay.

1:45:04 All right.

1:45:06 Let's see anything in the chat.

1:45:07 Ericson, I thought our lesson for today is about relative clauses.

1:45:10 Yes, this is a relative clause.

1:45:12 That is correct.

1:45:13 Good.

1:45:13 Hello everybody who is joining.

1:45:15 Hello.

1:45:16 Meas, I hope I said that right on Facebook.

1:45:18 Adam Mosen, hello Yahoo.

1:45:20 Hello everybody.

1:45:21 Great.

1:45:22 Some examples.

1:45:22 Zena Zuma wrote, "My ball pen,

1:45:24 which I bought a few days ago, has multiple colors." Perfect.

1:45:27 Flawless execution.

1:45:29 We love it.

1:45:30 Great job.

1:45:30 Okay, let's look at the second example

1:45:33 sentence then because my legs are getting tired.

1:45:35 Okay, my teacher, my teacher who is American is very talkative.

1:45:41 My teacher who is American is very talkative.

1:45:44 Maybe I can do this.

1:45:45 Okay, so in this sentence,

1:45:47 it's just my this is our relative clause who is American.

1:45:53 This piece is our extra information, right?

1:45:56 She is American.

1:45:58 In the first sentence, I said we don't need to say the subject two times, right?

1:46:04 This is because in this sentence,

1:46:06 we already know the sentence is about my teacher.

1:46:10 Yeah.

1:46:10 So, my teacher, we don't need to say who she is American.

1:46:14 Just leave that out.

1:46:15 Okay.

1:46:16 So, we have who in this case to show the beginning of the relative clause.

1:46:23 We use who for people and we use which and that for objects.

1:46:27 We're going to talk about that later with some more advanced points.

1:46:30 And in this sentence, we also have the original right here.

1:46:36 My teacher is very talkative.

1:46:38 We just added the extra detail in the middle of the sentence.

1:46:42 Ph.

1:46:43 Okay.

1:46:44 So, let me see if anybody put some warm-up questions in there.

1:46:49 Okay.

1:46:50 Nevian, good one on YouTube.

1:46:51 My laptop uh which is let's see my laptop is a 15 a Lenovo

1:46:58 15 inch uh that I bought from Best Buy can be converted into a tablet.

1:47:03 Okay, close.

1:47:04 So you kind of have two in one there, right?

1:47:08 You can say my laptop which I bought from Best

1:47:10 Buy can be converted into a tablet or you

1:47:13 could say my Lenovo 15in laptop which I bought

1:47:17 from Best Buy can be converted into a tablet.

1:47:20 Yeah.

1:47:21 So I would say the uh instead of my laptop is just say

1:47:25 my Lenovo 15inch laptop which I bought from Best Buy can be converted.

1:47:30 That's how I would make it good.

1:47:32 Oh my gosh.

1:47:33 Patrick wrote my TV which I bought from the internet

1:47:37 last Christmas is not working very well today.

1:47:39 Very nice.

1:47:40 Close, Patrick.

1:47:40 My TV which I bought from the internet or which

1:47:43 I bought online last Christmas is not working very well today.

1:47:47 Okay.

1:47:48 Um Yo wrote, "My manager who is Malaysian is a workaholic.

1:47:53 Is it correct grammatically?

1:47:54 It is correct." Yes.

1:47:56 Um today's word we're talking about a way to improve your speaking.

1:48:00 Try saying this out loud today.

1:48:01 If you want to talk about a different topic, go to a different video.

1:48:05 Today's live stream is only about this topic.

1:48:07 Okay.

1:48:08 Stalin wrote, "My brother, who is my boss, is very punctual." Very nice.

1:48:12 Okay.

1:48:13 Um hello everybody joining on Facebook.

1:48:15 I see no examples on Facebook.

1:48:18 So let's continue.

1:48:19 All right.

1:48:19 Thank you control desk for zooming in.

1:48:21 I am tired of standing like that.

1:48:23 Okay.

1:48:24 So um Ericson, you have a key question we are going to talk about in part two.

1:48:29 What is the difference between which and that in relative clauses?

1:48:32 Yes, that's a key question that even native speakers do not get right.

1:48:38 Great question.

1:48:38 I'm going to talk about that in part

1:48:40 two in this advanced point section right here.

1:48:43 So please wait for that.

1:48:46 Okay, let's go to a break.

1:48:48 So, we have our warm-up.

1:48:49 This is what we're going to practice in today's live stream.

1:48:53 But if you missed it earlier,

1:48:55 I want to remind you the team has a very special opportunity.

1:48:59 Good chance.

1:48:59 Right now, the team has live group classes starting again.

1:49:03 If you missed it the last time there were live group classes,

1:49:07 now is a new chance for you to do that.

1:49:09 They're starting again on September 16th, September 16, 2025.

1:49:15 These are 10week online classes.

1:49:18 The class is very small.

1:49:20 It is you plus four other people.

1:49:23 Yeah.

1:49:23 Plus a teacher.

1:49:24 So you will have one week or you will have one class a week

1:49:28 and you will have a teacher there to help you to give you feedback,

1:49:32 to review your assignments.

1:49:34 There's so much that you can do and get good feedback on a regular basis.

1:49:38 So you can find all of the details here.

1:49:40 This is the link you will find if you click the link

1:49:43 below the video on YouTube or above the video on Facebook.

1:49:47 So if you want to make sure that you get

1:49:48 to participate and you actually get live feedback and attention

1:49:52 from the teacher and if you want to actually meet

1:49:55 other people and get to practice with other live classmates,

1:49:58 this is an amazing amazing chance.

1:50:00 So, please, if you think like I might be interested,

1:50:04 make sure you make your reservation, reserve your spot soon because the classes

1:50:08 are going to start in about three weeks.

1:50:10 Yeah.

1:50:11 So, if you think this might be good for you, that's wonderful.

1:50:14 Go and uh find your spot,

1:50:15 get the details from the link below or above the video there.

1:50:19 I hope that that's a great opportunity for many of you.

1:50:22 Okay, let's continue to part two.

1:50:25 So, in part two, we're going to talk about what

1:50:28 are these clauses and the advanced point we talked about before.

1:50:32 We're also going to cover relative pronouns,

1:50:35 some key pronouns that we must use in this grammar point.

1:50:39 Okay, let me check the chat real quick.

1:50:41 Uh, Caddyy wrote, "I need to join." Yeah, join the uh live group classes.

1:50:45 Again, if you're on Facebook,

1:50:47 uh you can find the link above or to the side of the video.

1:50:50 If you have the video small,

1:50:51 the link should be right above my liveream uh Facebook users.

1:50:56 Okay.

1:50:57 Uh Masin wrote, "My mom who is Bangladeshi

1:51:00 is very well." Maybe like she is very healthy.

1:51:02 We would say she's very healthy or she's like in good spirits,

1:51:05 something like that to be a little more natural.

1:51:08 Okay, let me check the chat again really quickly.

1:51:11 Um yeah, many people are asking what's the difference between which and that.

1:51:16 Great.

1:51:16 Okay, we're going to get to that in just a moment.

1:51:19 Uh, one more.

1:51:19 Rodis wrote, "My cell phone,

1:51:20 which I bought two years ago, ah, is still working today.

1:51:24 Is still working today is a good way to say that." Okay, let's continue.

1:51:30 Uh, was too small.

1:51:32 This maybe Oh, no.

1:51:34 That's okay.

1:51:34 Okay, thanks.

1:51:35 Control desk.

1:51:36 Okay, let's get into part two.

1:51:37 If you haven't, hit the like button.

1:51:39 It really does help.

1:51:41 It sounds crazy, but it really does help other people to find the lesson.

1:51:44 So let's talk about relative clauses and the difference between which

1:51:48 and that because there is one and again many native speakers don't know.

1:51:53 So first what is a relative clause?

1:51:55 This thing we practiced in part one this part which I

1:51:59 have underlined in red the red section of these sentences or it

1:52:03 starts with which or it starts with who this part this part

1:52:06 of the sentence the extra information is called a relative clause.

1:52:11 So, a relative clause is a dependent clause.

1:52:15 A dependent clause is a part of a sentence

1:52:18 that must have another part of the sentence.

1:52:22 It depends on other information.

1:52:25 So, we cannot use a relative clause alone.

1:52:28 Okay?

1:52:29 We must have a full sentence to attach a relative clause to.

1:52:34 So, in part one, we practiced we made a simple sentence, right?

1:52:37 This is a basic sentence, a full sentence, right?

1:52:40 And then these parts we cannot use them alone.

1:52:43 Like we cannot say who is American.

1:52:46 We need other information.

1:52:48 We cannot say which I bought a few years ago.

1:52:51 That doesn't make sense.

1:52:52 It's not correct alone.

1:52:53 We must have other information.

1:52:56 This is an example of a dependent clause.

1:52:58 A part of a sentence that needs a full sentence to attach to.

1:53:03 Okay.

1:53:03 What do we use a relative clause to do?

1:53:06 We give more detail with a relative clause.

1:53:10 We can give more details about something like

1:53:12 your teacher or your family member or your phone, right?

1:53:16 And we can also give specific information about something.

1:53:21 So there are times when a relative clause is very very helpful when we have,

1:53:25 you know, two or more choices and we

1:53:28 need to say something specific about each choice.

1:53:31 Okay, we'll talk about this in just a moment.

1:53:34 So, we have relative what are called

1:53:37 relative pronouns that begin this grammar point.

1:53:40 Okay, I've marked them here.

1:53:41 Relative pronouns.

1:53:42 We love them.

1:53:43 Okay, today we're going to talk about these three.

1:53:46 We have the pronoun who.

1:53:48 Okay, we use who usually in front of people.

1:53:52 In my first example, I said my teacher who is American is talkative, right?

1:53:56 We use the pronoun who because my teacher is a person.

1:54:00 We also sometimes when people talk about their pets,

1:54:04 sometimes people use who to talk about that.

1:54:06 Yeah.

1:54:07 Like my dog who is very excitable is sometimes annoying, right?

1:54:11 So some people use who to talk about their pets.

1:54:15 We also have which and that for basically everything else.

1:54:20 When you want to talk about an object,

1:54:22 when you want to talk about a concept, we use which or that to do it.

1:54:27 Okay, this is the rough guide.

1:54:29 Now to those of you who are asking about

1:54:32 the difference between which and that how to choose

1:54:35 I know some places like will say oh you

1:54:37 know which sounds more formal and that is more casual.

1:54:41 No maybe it's a good guide to get you started but there is a rule for this.

1:54:46 We use that for something that is called a restrictive relative clause.

1:54:52 This is an advanced point.

1:54:54 Don't worry if this is confusing.

1:54:55 I will go slowly.

1:54:56 Something that's called a restrictive relative clause.

1:54:59 So that means remember I said a relative clause gives us extra

1:55:02 information and we have to have a full sentence to attach that to.

1:55:07 This is a type of a relative clause.

1:55:10 A restrictive one.

1:55:11 Okay.

1:55:12 A restrictive relative clause gives us essential information.

1:55:18 That means if we do not have this information, we cannot understand that noun.

1:55:23 We cannot understand.

1:55:25 So, we must have this information in order to clearly understand the situation.

1:55:30 So, here's a very simple example.

1:55:33 The book that is on the table isn't mine.

1:55:36 The book that is on the table isn't mine.

1:55:39 So, let's first break down the relative clause here

1:55:44 and then let's explain why is this a restrictive relative clause?

1:55:47 Because you might think, can't I use which there?

1:55:50 The answer is yes.

1:55:50 we can understand it.

1:55:52 But there's a reason we use that in some sentences like these.

1:55:56 So, first here's our relative clause.

1:55:58 The book that is on the table.

1:56:00 Okay, our simple sentence is the book isn't mine.

1:56:05 Right?

1:56:05 The book isn't mine.

1:56:06 Here's our extra information.

1:56:08 The book that is on the table.

1:56:11 I started the clause with that.

1:56:13 Yeah.

1:56:14 Why?

1:56:14 So, in this case, imagine in the room there are a few books.

1:56:19 Let's say here make a simple situation.

1:56:22 Let's say this is my table.

1:56:24 Here is my book.

1:56:25 Right?

1:56:25 But over there there's a different book.

1:56:27 Okay?

1:56:28 Let's say this is my book.

1:56:29 All right?

1:56:30 I want to be clear when I'm speaking to you.

1:56:34 I I want to talk about this book right here, not that book over there.

1:56:39 Okay?

1:56:39 So, I use that because I'm making a restrictive relative clause.

1:56:45 I want to give specific key information.

1:56:48 the book that is on the table isn't mine.

1:56:53 Then if I say, okay, I want to talk about a different book.

1:56:57 Maybe I have a book in my bag, right?

1:57:00 Like this here.

1:57:01 I could say the book that is in my bag is mine.

1:57:05 Okay.

1:57:05 So, in this kind of situation where we have two books.

1:57:09 Yeah.

1:57:10 And I need to be very clear about which one I mean,

1:57:14 I use a restrictive relative clause to do that.

1:57:17 Okay.

1:57:18 So the book that is on the table isn't mine.

1:57:23 The book that is in my bag is mine.

1:57:26 Okay.

1:57:27 So in these situations where we have two or more things we must be clear about.

1:57:32 We use that to explain it.

1:57:34 Okay.

1:57:35 So it's like saying another way there's a way to test.

1:57:39 You can test is this a restrictive relative clause or no.

1:57:43 Try thinking about it.

1:57:45 If you say uh like if you remove this part if

1:57:50 you remove the part and say uh the book is mine right

1:57:53 it's like well which book if you need to be very clear

1:57:56 about which one you're talking about in a situation like if you're

1:58:00 on the street and you say oh that car is cool you

1:58:03 wait which car that's something that needs a relative clause that is

1:58:07 restrictive okay so that's a way to kind of test do I

1:58:11 need to use this restrictive type and then use that If it's not,

1:58:15 if it's very clear what you're talking about,

1:58:18 it's a non-restrictive relative clause.

1:58:20 Okay.

1:58:21 Again, this is an advanced point, but I hope that that was easy to understand.

1:58:25 I'll come to check the chat.

1:58:26 Okay.

1:58:27 Um, Rosa, you're close.
