2:02 Okay, so let's get into today's topic then.
2:06 Today we're going to talk about your habits, 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.
2:17 I hope you send me lots of comments in the chat.
2:20 Let me say hello quickly to everybody on Facebook.
2:22 Hello Gallo, Ola, hello Mohammed, hello Johan, welcome.
2:27 And on YouTube, hello Mauricio from Colombia,
2:30 Erickson from Philippines, Kyle, Stalin, Sushma, Rocky, hi.
2:36 You start watching my videos in India and 2 years ago moved to the UK.
2:39 That's so cool.
2:40 I hope it's doing well for you.
2:42 I hope everything is going well.
2:43 Omar, what's up?
2:45 Jair, hi.
2:46 Pravin, what's up?
2:47 Raviga, you are always spamming the chat.
2:49 You are going to get in trouble again if you spam the chat again.
2:52 Watch out for that person.
2:53 Control desk, 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,
3:19 lesson and other lessons as well, our verb matches our subject.
3:25 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, okay?
3:39 We have a kind of scale here.
3:41 I like to use a scale to help us understand these different words.
3:46 The scale starts at 0% 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
4:00 the question how often you do something, okay?
4:04 So, at the bottom, down here, 0% we have never.
4:09 I never do something, 0% of the time.
4:13 Moving up, we have rarely, rarely.
4:16 This is a good pronunciation point.
4:18 Rarely, and in more polite or old-fashioned situations, seldom.
4:25 I seldom do something, 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, 65,
4:44 usually at maybe 70, 80%, and then always at 100%, okay?
4:51 So, today let's practice putting these in a sentence
4:56 like this to describe your habits, 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, okay?
5:07 Let's begin.
5:07 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, I.
5:18 Then, here is my adverb of frequency, always, followed by my verb.
5:24 I always brush, okay?
5:27 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 the main idea,
5:39 and then we have in the morning for some extra detail about the habit, right?
5:45 I always brush my teeth in the morning and I always brush my teeth at night.
5:50 We could say that if we wanted to.
5:51 Okay?
5:52 So, we are expressing here that 100%
5:56 of the time I brush my teeth in the morning.
5:59 Okay?
6:00 Simple idea.
6:01 So, you can send your daily life habits
6:03 in the chat to give some examples for everybody.
6:06 You wrote the same one, Pew.
6:07 Okay, you've copied the sentence, 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.
6:30 Adverb of frequency, sometimes.
6:34 Sometimes here in the middle, 50 50%ish.
6:37 Okay?
6:38 Then our verb is eats.
6:41 What does she eat?
6:43 Meat at the end.
6:44 Okay?
6:44 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,
7:05 but we must match the subject and the verb.
7:08 Okay?
7:09 Not she sometimes eat.
7:10 That's not correct.
7:12 This verb must match the subject.
7:15 Okay?
7:15 So, be careful of this in today's lesson.
7:18 Some examples are coming in.
7:19 Fantastic.
7:20 Okay.
7:21 Patrick wrote, "I occasionally drink no sugar black
7:23 coffee before work to keep awake." All right.
7:26 Couple points, great job with the grammar.
7:28 I occasionally drink, 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.
7:40 We use stay awake in that sentence.
7:43 Okay?
7:43 Uh Rocky wrote, "I always brush my teeth uh both in the morning,
7:48 afternoon, and night." Okay, you can just say,
7:50 "I always brush my teeth in the morning, afternoon,
7:52 and night." We use both for two of something.
7:55 Okay?
7:56 Uh S Control Desk says sugar-free is something else we can say.
8:00 Facebook, I don't see any examples yet,
8:01 so I'm going to read your YouTube classmates.
8:03 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.
8:10 Oh my gosh.
8:12 Mina uh Mina wrote, "I often study English,
8:14 but this month I occasionally did it." Okay, I often study English,
8:18 but this month we might use a negative for the second one to show some contrast,
8:23 so we'll practice that in a minute.
8:25 Nice start, Mina.
8:26 Uh Pihu I sometimes drink milk.
8:29 I hope you don't 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 Sishram wrote, "I always sleep late at night." Good,
8:40 or I always go to sleep late at night, maybe.
8:44 Uh okay, 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.
9:00 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
9:12 at 7:00 p.m." Breakfast is a morning food.
9:15 7:00 p.m.
9:17 is the evening.
9:18 Which one do you want?
9:19 Do you want dinner, or do you want 7:00 a.m.?
9:21 So you 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.
9:40 Two or more people, right?
9:42 Our adverb of frequency is often.
9:45 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.
10:01 The next one.
10:03 A never sentence.
10:05 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.
10:17 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.
10:28 0% of the time, okay?
10:30 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, 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.
11:04 Okay?
11:05 Let me check the chat again.
11:07 Um I'm looking for some examples.
11:11 Erickson wrote, "I sometimes go to the gym." Nice.
11:14 All right.
11:15 Uh Jamie wrote, "I always study English with your teachings." We usually say,
11:18 "I always study English with your lessons." So,
11:21 teachings sounds like We usually say teachings for like an ancient,
11:26 like an old, old, like book, right?
11:30 Something from like the ancient world many hundreds or thousands of years ago.
11:35 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.
11:50 For me for a teacher say lessons.
11:52 Okay.
11:52 I enjoy your lessons.
11:54 Yeah.
11:54 Always say lessons in this situation.
11:57 But grammar was great.
11:58 Thanks Janie.
11:59 Okay.
12:00 Um let's see some others that I have not read yet.
12:06 Uh Mosin on YouTu on Facebook wrote have you YouTube channel?
12:10 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 Kashaf wrote I occasionally eat sweets.
12:21 I never eat refined sugar.
12:22 Nice one.
12:23 Uh Sushma wrote I rarely use public transport.
12:26 Very nice.
12:27 Nice examples everybody.
12:28 Great job.
12:29 Okay.
12:29 Let's take a quick break and then we'll continue to part two where
12:33 we add some points to this grammar to help you express your habits.
12:38 Okay.
12:38 So, if you missed it the team has a free

13:28 If you haven't, please, please,
13:30 please make sure to hit the like button and share
13:32 this video because it helps other people find today's lesson.
13:36 Okay.
13:37 Uh nope, nothing.
13:39 Control desk, I do not.
13:40 Okay, let's go to negative statements.
13:43 Okay, this is very important.
13:45 It sounds bad, but this is a very important kind of pattern to use, okay?
13:51 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.
14:05 Subject plus adverb of frequency, 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
14:18 to the sentence to match the subject, 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, 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, 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.
14:49 So, let's begin and go through the examples so I can show you the guidelines.
14:55 All right, first one.
14:56 She sometimes doesn't eat meat.
14:59 She sometimes doesn't eat meat.
15:01 So, she is the subject, okay?
15:04 Same as part one.
15:05 Here's our adverb of frequency, sometimes, okay?
15:08 Same as part one, again.
15:10 Here, she sometimes doesn't.
15:13 All right, our negative point, and finally, our verb, eat.
15:18 No change to the verb here.
15:20 Now, in this sentence, we have doesn't,
15:23 which matches Oh my gosh, which matches the verb she, okay?
15:28 She and doesn't.
15:30 This is the negative form of eat, right?
15:33 She does not eat, yeah?
15:35 We cannot use don't, okay?
15:37 So, she sometimes doesn't eat meat.
15:41 Notice, with the verb or with the adverb sometimes,
15:45 the negative comes after, all right?
15:48 So, this is important to pay attention to, to practice a lot.
15:52 Let's look at the next one, then.
15:54 Cuz this one is a different, 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, 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 I always don't?" This is just
16:26 just one of those strange rules of English.
16:29 I don't always.
16:31 I don't always, but sometimes don't or sometimes doesn't.
16:37 So, when you use always, make sure the negative,
16:41 don't or doesn't, comes before the adverb, okay?
16:46 This is one difficult, but tricky, but learnable point.
16:50 This just takes some practice, 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, okay?
16:59 That's a good way to practice today.
17:01 Start by making a sentence, okay?
17:04 Um Ericsson wrote, "Can we use rarely and seldom
17:08 in both ways?" Do you mean 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?
17:18 Like I rarely don't or I seldom don't.
17:21 Yeah, you could say like I seldom don't do something.
17:25 Like 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, 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.
17:45 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.
17:52 Others.
17:54 Uh Emmanuel wrote, "He doesn't drink tea at night.
17:57 He drinks beer after midnight." So, after 12:00 at night, he drinks beer.
18:03 Is that what you want to say?
18:05 That's That's correct.
18:06 He drinks beer after midnight.
18:08 Uh Lactaid, can we use it the other way?
18:10 Can you give me an example?
18:11 What can we use what in what way?
18:14 I need just a little more information there.
18:17 Mina 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 nice contrast there.
18:25 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 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 Nivian 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.
19:05 Uh Renee wrote, "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?
19:16 That's just That's cuz I don't speak Spanish, all right?
19:18 I speak un poquito, eh?
19:20 All right, let's continue 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
19:29 music or heavy metal music." I don't always.
19:32 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." 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, 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, and our verb is go.
20:19 They don't often go to the movies, 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,
20:34 or I will 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.
21:05 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.
21:11 It's a good addition to today's lesson.
21:15 Uh, oh Lartey, 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.
21:39 I guess, but maybe I have a better example because that one's kind of gross.
21:43 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, I it it does sound a little bit weird.
21:55 This I don't always sounds like it's occasional.
21:59 It's something we occasionally do.
22:01 Okay, I hope I answered that question.
22:03 Erickson, 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.
22:10 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 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 Uh, some other examples are coming in.
22:35 On Facebook, Marie or Marie, I don't always go to the market.
22:38 Nice one.
22:39 Okay.
22:40 Um, Sharafat, 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.
22:50 Or he doesn't 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.
23:03 He doesn't always interrupt me, but he usually interrupts me.
23:08 That's unfortunate.
23:09 Good sentence, good idea though.
23:11 Okay, 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, yeah?
23:32 He occasionally doesn't.
23:34 So, uh doesn't needs to come after our adverb.
23:37 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 don't after the adverb.
23:58 And our verb is communicate, yeah?
24:01 So, please note again, when we use always,
24:04 we tend to put the negative in front of the adverb, 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, yeah?
24:29 Okay.
24:30 So, let's uh oh my gosh,
24:32 time is running out 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 Uh 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, okay?
24:56 So, we're going to talk about beginning a new pattern for yourself.
25:00 All right?
25:01 So, the final point, desired habits, our final pattern,
25:05 our last pattern for today, is I want to start verbing.
25:10 I want to start verbing.
25:12 Okay?
25:12 So, you can think about this and prepare your example sentences.
25:16 I will come review your examples really quickly.
25:20 Someone on YouTube says the link doesn't open.
25:22 Which link?
25:24 They can take a look at maybe the on a different browser or something.
25:29 Controlled S just checked it and it looks okay.
25:31 So, maybe try again.
25:32 Um okay, Wendy, I hope I mentioned the answer to your question maybe two times.
25:38 Again, with always, it goes in front.
25:41 Yeah?
25:41 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 words.
25:54 I hope Yeah, I hope that I answered that question.
25:58 How to know.
25:59 So, for today the guide is put the negative in front of always.
26:05 Yeah?
26:05 For the others we practiced 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, let's finish then with today's last point cuz time's running out.
26:17 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.
26:30 And we have start here for beginning a new habit,
26:35 or we can use stop for a bad habit.
26:40 Okay?
26:41 So, today I put positive habits on the board,
26:44 but you 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, begin a new habit, exercising, 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.
27:21 I wanna start exercising.
27:23 Okay?
27:24 Very common one.
27:25 All right.
27:25 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.
27:37 Again, I want to start for a new habit, 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, right?
27:56 I want to start learning how to swim.
27:58 I want to start learning how to fly a plane, 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.
28:11 Nice one.
28:12 Okay.
28:13 Um YouTube, um there's an example sentence I cannot read,
28:17 but let's go to the others.
28:20 The Black Eagle wrote, I want to start jogging at the park.
28:22 Nice one.
28:23 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.
28:30 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, actually, let me read the last one,
28:44 and then I'll add a negative pattern at the end.
28:47 We 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 right here shows us
28:55 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.
29:04 Using again tells us you did this habit,
29:08 you had this habit before, and then you stopped.
29:12 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.
29:19 That sounds like you started the habit,
29:22 stopped the habit, and now you want to start again.
29:24 Okay?
29:25 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 can put in here.
29:38 I think I saw somebody put I want to stop smoking, right?
29:41 Maybe for me, hmm, 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?
30:19 Let me check the chat one more time and then we'll be done for today.
30:23 Um Fernanda 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 maybe it's a little closer,
30:37 but we want to use this pattern for our personal regular life habits, yeah?
30:42 Iris wrote, "I want to start eating healthy food." Great one, Iris.
30:46 Good habit.
30:47 Um back on YouTube, oh my gosh.
30:49 Um Ericsson 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 Latif, is it the same way?
31:04 Uh 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,
31:12 like for example, if you made a gym membership,
31:17 you can say, "I wanted to start exercising,
31:21 so I made a gym membership." You might use the past tense for that.
31:25 Like, "I wanted to start learning how to cook,
31:29 so I I found a cooking class." So,
31:32 maybe you would use past tense and then explain your plan.
31:36 Maybe that helps answer your question.
31:39 Okay?
31:40 Uh Katia wrote, "I want to start reading books." Nice.
31:42 "And I want to stop being impunctual." Okay, okay.
31:46 Again, all right.
31:47 "I want to stop being" I would say "I want to stop being late for things." Yeah,
31:52 "I want to stop being late." Or just "I want to start being punctual" again.
31:57 Yeah, I would For me,
31:59 I would say it in a positive way to sound uh nice and kind of optimistic.
32:03 All right.
32:04 Oh my gosh, there are so many today.
32:06 Great.
32:06 On Facebook, uh Mohsin Al Hasan wrote,
32:09 "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." Uh Israel,
32:19 "I desire to start traveling for or two
32:22 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?
32:40 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.
33:02 Okay, I have to finish there for today.
33:05 Oh my gosh, great 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'll start there.
38:00 Hello, Jacob from Tennessee.
38:01 Minnow, what's up?
38:02 Christian from Chile.
38:04 Nevian, my name is Alicia, not Ashley, but close.

38:15 Hello, Rafika.
38:16 Hello, Pablo.
38:17 Hello.
38:18 Oh my gosh.
38:18 And then Facebook, I don't see Facebook yet.
38:20 Facebook is coming soon, I think, maybe.
38:22 I will check that in just a moment.
38:24 Okay.
38:25 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 low-level you want to make it.
38:52 Let's finish this.
38:53 I think AI is blah blah blah, 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.
39:40 Or, I think AI is dangerous, right?
39:43 So, there are many different opinions about this topic,
39:45 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.
40:02 You can use an ing verb if you want to make a guess about the future,
40:08 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.
40:21 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.
40:32 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 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 Ericsson wrote, I think AI is our new source of knowledge.
41:32 Interesting.
41:32 Okay, I think I disagree.
41:34 I think AI takes existing knowledge,
41:37 but maybe we'll see different 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.
41:49 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.
41:58 Minoru, I think AI is too powerful for me to use it effectively.
42:02 Interesting.
42:03 Okay, that's interesting perspective.
42:05 Ericsson has another one.
42:06 I think AI is dope.
42:08 Okay, cool.
42:09 All right, I like that.
42:10 Uh Montse wrote, I think AI is the best in the world uh because it help
42:16 it helps me uh think maybe think about
42:18 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 a different perspective.
42:41 Yeah.
42:42 Okay.
42:42 Nevian wrote I think AI is a good tool to learn about anything.
42:47 Okay, good.
42:48 Uh a good tool singular, 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.
43:01 Yes, that's a lot of interesting opinions together.
43:05 Facebook, I don't see examples yet.
43:06 Facebook, you can do it.
43:07 Send some examples.
43:08 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 to get fast information,
43:19 but not to have strategies.
43:21 Uh but not to make a strategy.
43:22 Okay, that's interesting.
43:23 So, like a search tool maybe.
43:25 We can get information fast, but uh it's difficult to use to make
43:30 a to make a plan perhaps or make a strategy.
43:32 Great.
43:33 Raffica wrote I think AI is beautiful artificial intelligence.
43:36 Okay, great.
43:38 Uh Omar wrote I think maybe AI is helping us to learn English.
43:42 Yes, 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.
43:57 Nice examples so far everybody.
43:59 Facebook, I don't see them yet.
44:01 I see hello.
44:02 Hello our Facebook.
44:03 Let's go to the last few.
44:05 I want to introduce a few patterns.
44:07 I'll start Maybe we can move the screen control.
44:09 That's Thank you so much.
44:11 The noun patterns are the last one.
44:13 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.
44:23 Or I think AI is a dangerous idea.
44:27 All right, I know many of people think this also or they
44:30 think 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 It's 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 combined them.
44:54 That was great.
44:55 Really fantastic.
44:56 See, we can see even in the chat that people
44:58 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.
45:10 Oh, good.
45:10 Some examples.
45:11 One example I see on Facebook.
45:13 Gelal wrote, "I think AI is a helpful tool." So, AI is a helpful tool.
45:18 Don't forget your article.
45:19 AI is a helpful tool to develop the researcher's thinking and investigations.
45:24 Okay, I To say it naturally, I think AI is a helpful tool for researchers
45:31 to help develop their thoughts and their ideas.
45:35 Yes, maybe.
45:35 Is how I might say that naturally.
45:37 Okay, great.
45:38 Very nice warm-up, everybody.
45:39 So, let's continue on to the second part.
45:42 I'll remind you very quickly, just very quickly,

46:05 That'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 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.
46:19 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, okay?
46:41 The verb is to prompt, to prompt.
46:44 We see this verb a lot in more formal situations.
46:48 For example, in like a business presentation.
46:51 So, for example, when you see like the head of ChatGPT,
46:56 Sam Altman, 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 the verb to prompt.
47:32 That's the verb we use here.
47:34 But, this sounds a little formal, okay?
47:36 So, I'm going to explain in the next verb a better verb to use.
47:40 But, you will hear this in news articles and speeches.
47:44 So, here's an example sentence.
47:46 I prompted the tool to make an image.
47:49 I prompted the tool to make an image.
47:51 Here, we have prompt in past tense.
47:54 This takes the uh past tense form.
47:57 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, in everyday communication,
48:10 please use the verb to ask, 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.
48:21 When you write the instructions to ChatGPT
48:25 or to whatever tool you prefer to use, Deep Seek, I don't know.
48:29 When you write the instructions in the AI program, you can use the verb to ask.
48:34 So, for example here, I asked the tool.
48:39 I asked the tool to make an image, 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 And prompt can be used as a noun and is
48:58 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 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 ChatGPT box, right?
49:20 That text is your prompt.
49:23 That text is a prompt, okay?
49:26 That's your instructions.
49:27 That's your request.
49:28 We call that a prompt, 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
49:37 from Google and organizes it in a spreadsheet, 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, singular, right?
49:57 I wrote a prompt.
49:58 So, this means I wrote a set of instructions, okay?
50:01 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?
50:16 Notice we use this verb pattern.
50:18 The prompt takes So, we're using present tense, present tense.
50:22 It's a present tense sentence because it's it's like a regular action, 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
50:34 for your AI uh tools you can follow the same pattern.
50:38 I wrote a prompt that plus this use the present tense
50:44 forms of verbs or the present tense endings of verbs, okay?
50:47 I'll come check the chat really quickly.
50:49 And some more examples are coming.
50:52 Great.
50:52 Hi, Paloma.
50:53 Paloma wrote, "I think AI is dangerous.
50:55 We have to use it carefully and responsibly." Great.
50:57 Great.
50:58 Nice use of we have to there also.
51:00 Uh Rodis wrote, "I think AI is going to replace human beings." Many people Yes,
51:06 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, Natalie wrote, "I think AI is user-friendly to a certain extent." So,
51:20 for Think of certain extent is like a set phrase,
51:23 to a certain extent, then it's perfect.
51:26 Uh Ericsson wrote, "I think AI is not 100% good.
51:29 Sometimes it gives us wrong information." 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 Ericsson on YouTube wrote describes the word,
51:49 I'll put it here, hallucination.
51:52 Hallucination.
51:54 This is a word we use hallucination.
51:58 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
52:09 feeling sick or when maybe we had a mental health problem,
52:14 when we imagined something that's not there.
52:17 Okay?
52:17 Usually in before AI,
52:20 we used 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." 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." So, for serious situations, we call that a hallucination.
52:40 However, today, when the AI tools give us wrong information,
52:46 very confidently, usually, this is called a hallucination.
52:50 Hallucination.
52:52 The AI thinks it's correct.
52:53 It presents the information to us, but it is wrong a lot, right?
52:58 This is called a hallucination.
53:01 Okay?
53:01 Key vocabulary word.
53:03 Okay.
53:03 Let's continue.
53:05 Other points.
53:05 Hello, Facebook.
53:06 I don't see many examples on Facebook.
53:08 Facebook, you have a good warm-up.
53:09 If you're joining on Facebook, you could finish the warm-up.
53:12 I will come back and read.
53:13 Okay.
53:14 Let's continue.
53:15 Uh to the the last kind of group here,
53:17 I want to include these keywords because these get used a lot uh in the news.
53:23 The next one is L L M.
53:26 L L M 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
53:40 and lots of language data that is collected
53:44 by these companies in order to make the AI tools speak naturally to you, 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,
53:58 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, okay?
54:23 And then the last two points for here,
54:25 I want to talk about these two expressions that we have a lot lately,
54:29 which are text-to-image and text-to-video.
54:32 Text-to-image and text-to-video.
54:35 This means you input text, 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, yeah?
54:51 So, in this case, like I talked about here,
54:54 I write a text prompt like mm to Chat GPT, uh make me an image of a pizza
55:00 that has uh garlic and shrimp toppings, 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, okay?
55:25 So, we use these two to talk about the type of uh media we want to get, okay?
55:32 All right, 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.
55:38 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 Oh, part three.
55:46 This one is a very important thing to talk about, I think.
55:50 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 you know, like Deep Seek, ChatGPT,
56:09 Grok, uh, the Google tools, Gemini, how did those get made, right?
56:14 We think about this a lot.
56:16 And ethics, this is another keyword.
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, 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, unfortunately.
56:49 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, 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 ChatGPT model can respond more naturally, right?
57:14 Simple sentence.
57:16 Here is model.
57:17 Yeah?
57:18 The latest ChatGPT model, if it's easy for you,
57:21 you can replace model with version, right?
57:24 The The latest ChatGPT version can respond more naturally.
57:28 But, model is used uh, a lot in these news articles.
57:32 And here's one, 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?
57:47 Good.
57:47 Uh some I saw some messages come in.
57:51 Uh Ericsson, I see you.
57:51 I have I want to make sure that 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 ChatGPT gives me better answers." Yes,
58:02 it seems you 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 ChatGPT 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 to text to image about Machu
58:23 Picchu and then I got a realistic picture." Good good example, very close.
58:27 You can just say I asked AI to make or to generate, like we did here.
58:33 I asked the tool to make an image.
58:36 That's okay.
58:37 So, when I introduced uh text to image and text to video,
58:40 we typically just say, like,
58:42 "This is a text to image tool." Or "This is a text to video feature." So,
58:48 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, yeah?
58:57 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.
59:07 Let's go to What I put What I leave off on?
59:11 Copyrighted material.
59:12 Copyrighted material.
59:14 All right, this is a big issue.
59:15 Okay.
59:16 Copyrighted material means text or images or video,
59:21 other media that belongs to someone.
59:24 So, if you are, for example,
59:25 a photographer and you take a picture, 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, okay?
59:44 This is an important factor, an important point for AI, okay?
59:48 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.
59:59 Content scraping means using robots to search
1:00:02 the internet and collect content, okay?
1:00:06 So, maybe some of you know the verb to scrape.
1:00:09 To scrape means to use it usually to use a tool to try to get very,
1:00:14 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
1:00:22 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,
1:00:32 to get small pieces of something or to dig
1:00:34 deep and get small pieces of something.
1:00:37 Content scraping on the internet uses robots to collect that information.
1:00:43 So, we can take lots and lots and lots
1:00:45 of information from websites and collect it, okay?
1:00:49 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, yeah?
1:01:03 So, stolen source material means information used with no permission,
1:01:08 without permission to train AI, okay?
1:01:11 This is a big topic of discussion that these large
1:01:15 companies do content scraping to collect information from YouTube,
1:01:20 from Facebook, from websites, from books, from 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?
1:01:34 So, here's our example sentence that uses all of these.
1:01:39 A lot of AI training is done using
1:01:42 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.
1:01:54 Let me 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 Oh, sorry.
1:02:04 That's still hard to see.
1:02:05 So, a lot of these training processes use
1:02:07 material that was taken from someone without permission.
1:02:11 Okay?
1:02:12 That was scraped from something on the web.
1:02:15 Okay?
1:02:15 So, a lot of people, 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.
1:02:34 Oh my gosh, I'm out of time already.
1:02:36 Let's see what other people have written.
1:02:38 Destalin wrote, "I think AI is a great tool
1:02:40 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 my sentences,
1:02:56 and I ask why you corrected them that way." Ah,
1:02:59 so is that for like how you use it for language learning?
1:03:02 That's really interesting.
1:03:03 Yeah.
1:03:04 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 that we must we must
1:03:26 be wise and and use it carefully." 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, I don't see any comments on the Facebook page today.
1:03:38 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 in the window 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 understanding
1:03:53 of some key vocabulary words we use to talk about AI.
1:03:57 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 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 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, but next week of course I'll be back.
1:04:36 Next week the lesson that I planned I 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 present tense.

1:05:10 You'll practice the grammar, you'll practice the vocabulary we use,
1:05:14 but we'll use it in a slightly different way to talk about your regular actions.

1:08:37 Kashaf.
1:08:38 Hello.
1:08:38 Oh, that's amazing.
1:08:39 Facebook, I don't see Facebook people yet.
1:08:41 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 Spot Sofa.
1:08:53 Hello.
1:08:54 Pihu.
1:08:54 Hello.
1:08:55 Muhammad.
1:08:55 Hi.
1:08:56 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.
1:09:02 Please answer in the chat or in the comments section later.
1:09:06 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?
1:09:15 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,
1:09:23 negative, positive, negative.
1:09:26 And so, I hope that you practice both parts a lot today,
1:09:29 both positive and negative.
1:09:31 So, let's use this to begin today's lesson.
1:09:35 What do you do every day?
1:09:37 To make this, we have the subject followed by the present tense verb,
1:09:42 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?
1:09:51 But, we can use a different point here,
1:09:55 like 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.
1:10:03 My answer to this, what do you do every day?
1:10:06 Every day, I I check my emails every day.
1:10:11 I brush my teeth every day.
1:10:14 So, very simple sentence is okay to use here for the warm-up.
1:10:17 Let's take a look at some other examples that use
1:10:20 this pattern while you send your examples in the chat.
1:10:23 Okay?
1:10:24 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, so this is attached to the verb.
1:10:43 And then I have my every plus 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, 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, yeah?
1:11:03 Drinks 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.
1:11:16 Here is every plus the point or the time frame, right?
1:11:22 He drinks coffee every morning.
1:11:23 Okay, let me see your examples.
1:11:25 Pihu, wow, long one.
1:11:26 I wake up at 6:00 in the morning after I freshen up Okay,
1:11:30 you put in your daily schedule.
1:11:32 I love that.
1:11:33 Can you make an every sentence?
1:11:36 I blah blah blah every day.
1:11:38 That's nice.
1:11:39 Great job.
1:11:40 In fact, after I freshen up then I wash my face and brush my later
1:11:43 I have a cup of tea and have a lot of fun with my family.
1:11:46 Family, got you got it.
1:11:47 Perfect.
1:11:47 You made a perfect paragraph.
1:11:49 I love that.
1:11:50 Try using today's grammar as well.
1:11:53 Okay.
1:11:53 Moses, what's up?
1:11:54 First time in the class, and welcome.
1:11:56 Okay.
1:11:57 Erickson 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, okay?
1:12:10 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, okay?
1:12:19 Meena wrote, "I play a video game on my smartphone every day,
1:12:24 right?" Instead of through smartphone,
1:12:26 I play a video game on my smartphone every day, okay?
1:12:30 Kashaf has one for Sundays.
1:12:32 "I eat burgers every Sunday." Okay, different frequency.
1:12:36 I like that, though.
1:12:37 Rodis wrote, "I read a book every day." Okay, great.
1:12:40 Nice.
1:12:41 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." Great.
1:12:50 Pihu 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?
1:13:02 Anwell, 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 Facebook can do it, too.
1:13:11 Uh let's see who haven't I checked yet.
1:13:14 Uh Nevian, I walk around with my dog uh every day in the evening.
1:13:20 Every day in the evening.
1:13:22 So, when you want to put those together,
1:13:24 you could say 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.
1:13:32 Also, another point, I saw a few people do this.
1:13:37 Notice, I hope you can see this.
1:13:39 Every and day, there is a space right here.
1:13:44 Every day.
1:13:45 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, 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, okay?
1:14:12 This is a little bit of a difficult grammar point.
1:14:15 Native speakers also make this mistake a lot in writing.
1:14:17 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, okay?
1:14:26 Uh Velan wrote, is the word every daily often used?
1:14:29 No, every daily is not a word.
1:14:32 So, please do not use every daily.
1:14:34 Instead, just say daily.
1:14:36 Daily Daily means something you do every day.
1:14:40 So, please use daily, okay?
1:14:42 Pihu wrote, I apply sunscreen on my face every day.
1:14:45 Great.
1:14:46 Good ones.
1:14:47 Facebook, woohoo!
1:14:48 Got some examples.
1:14:49 Uh Bintu Ruth, I pray five times every day.
1:14:52 Great.
1:14:54 Uh Shafi Shafeela, I hope I said your name right,
1:14:57 said I don't surf the net every morning.
1:15:00 Great, you got a negative in there.
1:15:01 Nice.
1:15:02 And Savigante wrote, I drive my car every day.
1:15:06 Good job, everybody.
1:15:07 Again, watch out 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?
1:15:15 This right here is a space.
1:15:17 We must use a space between every and day.
1:15:20 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 and 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.
1:15:45 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?
1:15:51 We take a vacation every year.
1:15:54 Okay?
1:15:55 So, let's continue now to the opposite form.
1:15:58 Let's talk about the negatives for this one, okay?
1:16:02 Control desk, we're going to move to the bottom of the board if that's okay.
1:16:07 Okay.
1:16:07 So, let's compare this now to the negative forms.
1:16:11 All right.
1:16:12 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, okay?
1:16:21 So, subject don't or doesn't.
1:16:24 I don't, right?
1:16:26 You don't.
1:16:27 We don't.
1:16:28 Or he doesn't.
1:16:29 She doesn't.
1:16:30 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, 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, I don't verb, 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, for example.
1:17:11 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.
1:17:24 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, 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, every week in this case.
1:17:43 She doesn't call me every week.
1:17:45 Okay?
1:17:46 Let's take a look at the examples.
1:17:48 Nevian wrote, "She doesn't do the laundry every day." Perfect.
1:17:51 Nicely done.
1:17:53 Uh Pihu wrote, "She doesn't go to the market every day." Perfect.
1:17:56 Well done.
1:17:57 Erickson has a positive,
1:17:58 "I play mobile games every day." 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 Kashaf wrote, "She doesn't study every day." Kashaf,
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 Wise Suraman wrote, "I don't go to the gym every day." I
1:18:21 don't go to the gym every day, then it's perfect.
1:18:24 Back on YouTube.
1:18:26 Um Omar, "I don't call my friends every day." Good.
1:18:31 Um Rodis wrote, "I don't study English every day." Great.
1:18:34 Unwell on Facebook, very close.
1:18:36 They aren't means they are not, right?
1:18:40 Choose from these two.
1:18:41 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, okay?
1:18:54 So, they do not exercise every day.
1:18:57 Okay.
1:18:57 Last one, we don't go skiing every winter.
1:19:02 We don't go skiing every winter.
1:19:04 Subject we.
1:19:06 Negative, don't.
1:19:08 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, every in this case a season, every winter.
1:19:19 We don't go skiing every winter.
1:19:21 Phew.
1:19:22 Good job.
1:19:22 Looks good, everybody.
1:19:24 Muslim 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 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,
1:19:40 "I don't go to work I don't go to work every day." Don't forget to.
1:19:45 I don't go to work, okay?
1:19:47 Others back on YouTube, Arturo wrote,
1:19:49 "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.
1:20:03 Niharul wrote, "I don't talk to talk to my girlfriend
1:20:08 every day." Watch out for that space there.
1:20:11 Mm, okay.
1:20:12 Let's continue.
1:20:13 Oh, Omar, your question.

1:21:26 That's great.
1:21:26 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.
1:21:47 But you must also practice.
1:21:50 Please practice making questions.
1:21:52 So, let's practice now.
1:21:53 Okay?
1:21:54 Questions.
1:21:55 How do we ask a question about someone's habits?
1:21:58 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.
1:22:26 We must be careful of this.
1:22:28 Do or does must match the subject, okay?
1:22:33 So, do you?
1:22:34 Does he?
1:22:35 Does she?
1:22:36 Do they, right?
1:22:37 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 2 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, right?
1:23:00 So, choose your adverb of frequency here.
1:23:03 You can use every or never, okay?
1:23:07 And then, we use the verb.
1:23:09 Okay, kind of a long pattern,
1:23:11 but just go piece by piece and choose each section to create a sentence, okay?
1:23:17 So, while you think about it, I'll show you some examples now, 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?
1:23:34 I began here.
1:23:35 What?
1:23:37 Followed by do you.
1:23:40 Here is my subject, right?
1:23:42 So, do matches with you.
1:23:44 Do you?
1:23:45 Does you is incorrect.
1:23:46 You cannot use does you.
1:23:48 Does and you do not match, okay?
1:23:51 Next, I have the adverb of frequency, usually, usually.
1:23:56 Next, I have my verb.
1:23:58 Yeah, and then we have the information that tells us about the verb, right?
1:24:04 So, what do you usually eat for lunch is a basic habit question, right?
1:24:10 Okay, so let's practice this kind of question.
1:24:13 This is an information question, 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.
1:24:46 Here, we begin with do you, right?
1:24:49 Again, do and you match.
1:24:51 We cannot use does you, right?
1:24:53 Does and you do not match in this pattern.
1:24:56 Then, we have our adverb of frequency, sometimes.
1:25:01 Do you sometimes 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, okay?
1:25:21 So, challenge.
1:25:22 You can send your examples in the chat and I will check in.
1:25:26 Um on Facebook, SH Sharafa wrote, "What do you rarely eat for breakfast?" Good.
1:25:33 Okay, just one change, 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 or what
1:25:42 do you rarely eat for dessert, whatever, okay?
1:25:45 Great one.
1:25:46 Bintu wrote, "What do you usually play?" Great.
1:25:48 So, maybe like what sport do you usually play or something like that?
1:25:52 Good.
1:25:53 Or could be a game also.
1:25:55 All right, let me go to YouTube.
1:25:57 Um Navian wrote, "When does she often get her nails done?" Okay, good.
1:26:03 Asking about someone's schedule.
1:26:04 Good.
1:26:05 Mina, what do you usually do after 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 Uh Natalie wrote, "Do you challenge yourself
1:26:19 to complete the task?" Okay, good sentence.
1:26:21 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, 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.
1:26:38 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.
1:26:46 Where do you usually go to dance?
1:26:49 Okay, good.
1:26:50 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, or does someone else walk your dog?
1:27:01 Good.
1:27:01 Uh Patrick wrote, "Which food do you prefer
1:27:04 to eat during the winter?" Ooh, nice question.
1:27:07 I like to eat stew, I think.
1:27:10 Big hearty soups and stews are my favorite thing.
1:27:13 Great.
1:27:14 Back on Facebook, wrote, "What do you usually do in the morning?" Nice one.
1:27:19 wrote, "What do you usually cook for dinner?" Great.
1:27:23 wrote, "Does she sometimes call For call, we don't need a preposition.
1:27:28 We don't need to.
1:27:29 Does she sometimes call her parents?" Good good good good.
1:27:31 Nice job, everybody.
1:27:33 Let's continue.
1:27:35 Let's finish these examples then.
1:27:36 Some more yes and no questions, yeah?
1:27:39 Here we have a different subject, yeah?
1:27:41 Does he, 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 Does he always work late?
1:27:58 Does he always work late?
1:28:00 So, this is a good one for 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?
1:28:18 Okay.
1:28:19 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.
1:28:31 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 very very similar to our first pattern.
1:28:53 So, the first example is what don't you usually do for exercise?
1:28:59 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?
1:29:11 Same pattern.
1:29:13 What don't you usually do, 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 we use these like negative questions
1:29:31 about people's habits when we want to confirm something.
1:29:36 So, for example, let's imagine like I'm a person.
1:29:40 I love exercise, just for example.
1:29:43 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, right?
1:29:55 And you learn this about me.
1:29:57 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.
1:30:11 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?" 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 person's Instagram post, and in the comments,
1:30:42 like the creator made this post about beautiful videos and photography,
1:30:48 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?
1:31:14 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?
1:31:22 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?
1:31:31 In this case, our question is why 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.
1:31:40 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, yeah?
1:31:48 So, we have the same pattern.
1:31:49 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, 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 then.
1:32:10 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, 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 and the opposite,
1:32:41 something you never do in the comments.
1:32:43 So, let's finish today with an easy practice so that you can
1:32:47 talk about your schedule and you can respond to these questions, okay?
1:32:52 Let's look at First one, I always eat breakfast.
1:32:54 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.
1:33:03 Easy.
1:33:03 I always eat breakfast.
1:33:05 So, what's something you always do, okay?
1:33:08 Next one, he always speaks politely.
1:33:11 He always speaks politely.
1:33:13 Here's my subject, he, always and my verb, 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, 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.
1:33:35 Subject is we, always, our verb, recycle, our trash, yeah?
1:33:42 So, this shows that this is a very regular habit, 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.
1:33:54 I I drink hot chocolate every morning.
1:33:56 That's nice, actually.
1:33:57 I always drink coffee in the morning, but hot chocolate does sound nice, too.
1:34:02 Raviga, I always eat hamburgers every day.
1:34:05 Didn't you write earlier, I always eat hamburgers on Sunday?
1:34:08 Wasn't that you?
1:34:10 I don't believe you.
1:34:11 Okay.
1:34:12 Okay, let's go.
1:34:13 Let's go to the next one.
1:34:15 Uh Erikson wrote, "Does she listen to music?" Music does not take an article.
1:34:19 Does she listen to music every morning?
1:34:22 Okay.
1:34:23 Valen, good question.
1:34:24 Is it possible to replace always with forever in this pattern?
1:34:28 Like, I forever eat breakfast?
1:34:29 No.
1:34:30 You cannot replace it.
1:34:32 No.
1:34:32 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.
1:34:50 The negative form.
1:34:52 Same pattern as always.
1:34:54 Let's go to the never pattern though, the negative then.
1:34:58 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.
1:35:06 Here is never, and my verb is forget.
1:35:09 I never forget, in this case,
1:35:11 we must follow forget with a infinitive with an infinitive.
1:35:16 I 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, she.
1:35:25 Never.
1:35:26 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, my neighbors, right?
1:35:44 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.
1:36:01 Rocky, I had to fix something, that's why I moved my head.
1:36:04 Oh.
1:36:05 Okay.
1:36:05 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 1 minute.
1:36:15 And I 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.
1:36:25 All right?
1:36:26 Good.
1:36:27 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, okay?
1:36:38 Patrick wrote, "He never goes to the gym." All right.
1:36:41 Alicia teaches English every week, that is true.
1:36:43 Does not use always or never.
1:36:45 I have to finish.
1:36:46 So, here is the QR code for today's lesson notes.
1:36:50 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.
1:36:58 Great.
1:36:59 Okay.
1:36:59 So, we'll finish there for today's lesson.
1:37:03 I saw some comments last week that said
1:37:04 some people had an error with the QR code, 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.
1:37:16 That was amazing, great examples.
1:37:18 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.

1:38:08 point you can use to give extra details.
1:38:12 If you often think, "I wish I could write

1:40:22 Hello people.
1:40:23 Oh my gosh YouTube.
1:40:24 There you are chat.
1:40:25 Hello Ivan and Victor and Niharul and Natalie Roberio.
1:40:29 Hi Inazuma.
1:40:30 What's up everybody?
1:40:31 Thank you for joining as always.
1:40:33 Facebook also is live.
1:40:34 I don't see messages on Facebook yet.
1:40:37 Maybe they're going to join soon.
1:40:38 Let's go today.
1:40:40 As always, I've prepared a lot.
1:40:43 So I want to begin quickly.
1:40:45 So let's start with a warm-up.
1:40:47 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, just look around your room right now or look at me.
1:40:57 Look at your computer or your phone.
1:41:00 And explain that noun.
1:41:02 Give a small piece of information and give one point of extra detail.
1:41:08 Okay, 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 to help you do that.
1:41:18 To help you put two sentences together.
1:41:21 Okay?
1:41:21 So we can begin with step one.
1:41:24 Step one is easy.
1:41:26 Really easy.
1:41:27 Make a simple sentence about the noun.
1:41:30 Make a simple sentence.
1:41:31 Okay?
1:41:31 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?
1:41:37 Let's look at a couple basic examples.
1:41:39 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, yeah?
1:41:50 Or here's another one.
1:41:51 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?
1:42:00 Something near you that you can see right now, okay?
1:42:04 Step two, choose a detail about the noun.
1:42:09 Any detail is okay.
1:42:10 Small point, big point, whatever.
1:42:13 For example, the phone example.
1:42:15 I said, "My phone is an iPhone 15." A detail point.
1:42:19 I bought my phone a few years ago, 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, okay?
1:42:38 So, how do we put these two sentences together, 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
1:42:51 these together smoothly and naturally, all right?
1:42:55 So, we're going to look at number three then.
1:42:58 Combine with who or which before the extra information and after the noun, okay?
1:43:07 So, let's take a look at our example sentences.
1:43:10 Maybe we can zoom in there, control desk.
1:43:12 Sorry, it's a little bit small, so maybe let's zoom in there.
1:43:15 And let's break down what's happening in these sentences so
1:43:18 that you can use the same pattern to make your own, okay?
1:43:22 So, first one, the sentence about the phone.
1:43:25 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, okay?
1:43:42 First, I said combine with who or which before the extra information, right?
1:43:48 Here, I put I bought my phone a few years ago, right?
1:43:52 So, the extra information is this piece.
1:43:56 Here 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,
1:44:10 I didn't say I bought my phone a few years ago.
1:44:14 You don't need to include,
1:44:15 or rather do not say the noun again in the extra information.
1:44:20 Why?
1:44:21 Because it's the subject of the sentence.
1:44:23 We don't need to say it two times, okay?
1:44:27 So, in your extra detail sentence, remove this part about the phone, 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, yeah?
1:44:41 So, a good way to test if you made your sentence
1:44:45 correctly is if you can see the original sentence is still there.
1:44:52 My phone is an iPhone 15.
1:44:54 This is the original sentence, right?
1:44:57 Inside the sentence, we dropped which I bought a few years ago.
1:45:02 We just dropped some details into that, okay?
1:45:04 All right.
1:45:05 Phew, let's see.
1:45:06 Anything in the chat?
1:45:07 Eric said, "I thought our lesson for today is about relative clauses." Yes,
1:45:10 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 Messias, Messias, I hope I said that right, on Facebook.
1:45:18 Adam Mosian, hello.
1:45:20 Yahoup, hello everybody.
1:45:21 Great, some examples.
1:45:22 Inazuma 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.
1:45:29 Great job.
1:45:30 Okay.
1:45:31 Let's look at the second example sentence then.
1:45:34 Cuz my legs are getting tired.
1:45:35 Okay.
1:45:35 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.
1:45:46 So, in this sentence 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.
1:46:09 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 Phew.
1:46:43 Okay?
1:46:44 So, let me see if anybody put some warm-up questions in there.
1:46:49 Okay, Nivian.
1:46:50 Good one on YouTube.
1:46:51 My laptop uh which is Lenovo My laptop is a 15 Lenovo
1:46:58 15-in 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?
1:47:07 You can say, "My laptop, which I bought from Best Buy,
1:47:11 can be converted into a tablet." Or you could say,
1:47:14 "My Lenovo 15-in laptop, which I bought from Best Buy,
1:47:18 can be converted into a tablet." Yeah?
1:47:21 So, I would say the uh instead of my laptop is,
1:47:24 just say my Lenovo 15-in 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, Patrick wrote, "My TV which I bought from the internet last
1:47:37 Christmas is not working very well today." 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 Mehol wrote, "My manager who is Malaysian is a workaholic.
1:47:53 Is it correct?" Grammatically, it is correct.
1:47:55 Yes.
1:47:56 Um Mehol, 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.
1:48:17 So, let's continue.
1:48:19 All right.
1:48:19 Thank you control this for zooming in.
1:48:21 I am tired of standing like that.
1:48:23 Okay.
1:48:23 So, um Ericsson, 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.
1:48:33 That's a key question that even native speakers do not get right.
1:48:37 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.
1:48:45 Okay.
1:48:46 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.
1:48:52 But, if you missed it earlier,
1:48:55 I want to remind you the team has a very special opportunity,
1:48:58 good chance right now.
1:49:00 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 1 6 2025.
1:49:15 These are 10-week online classes.
1:49:18 The class is very small.
1:49:20 It is you plus four other people, yeah?
1:49:23 Plus a teacher.
1:49:24 So, you will have one week or you'll have one class
1:49:27 a week and you will have a teacher there to help you,
1:49:30 to give you feedback, 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 to participate
1:49:49 and you actually get live feedback and attention from the teacher.
1:49:53 And if you want to actually meet other
1:49:55 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, "Hmm,
1:50:02 I might be interested." Make sure you make your reservation,
1:50:06 reserve your spot soon because the classes are

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.
1:50:22 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.
1:50:38 Okay.
1:50:39 Let me check the chat real quick.
1:50:41 Uh Catty 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 live stream, Facebook users.
1:50:55 Okay.
1:50:56 Uh Mosin wrote, "My mom, who's Bangladeshi,
1:50:59 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.
1:51:08 Let me check the chat again really quickly.
1:51:11 Um Yeah, many people are asking what's
1:51:14 the difference between which and that great.
1:51:16 Okay, we're going to get to that in just a moment.
1:51:19 One more roadie throat my cell phone which
1:51:20 I bought two years ago is still working today.
1:51:24 Is still working today is a good way to say that.
1:51:27 Okay, let's continue was what you small.
1:51:33 Maybe oh no, that's okay.
1:51:34 Okay, thanks control desk.
1:51:35 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 really sounds crazy,
1:51:41 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
1:51:58 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 a dependent clause is
1:52:17 a part of a sentence 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, 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.
1:52:50 That doesn't make sense.
1:52:52 It's not correct alone.
1:52:53 We must have other information.
1:52:55 This is an example of a dependent clause a part
1:52:58 of a sentence that needs a full sentence to attach to.
1:53:02 Okay, 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
1:53:27 need to say something specific about each choice, okay?
1:53:31 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, okay?
1:53:40 I've marked them here, relative pronouns, we love them, okay?
1:53:43 Today, we're going to talk about these three.
1:53:46 We have the pronoun who, okay?
1:53:49 We use who usually in front of people.
1:53:52 In my first example, I said, "My teacher, who is American, is talkative,
1:53:56 right?" 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, 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, when you want to talk about a concept,
1:54:24 we use which or that to do it, okay?
1:54:28 This is a 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 know,
1:54:38 which sounds more formal and that is more casual." No.
1:54:42 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.
1:54:53 Don't worry if this is confusing, I will go slowly.
1:54:56 Something that's called a restrictive relative clause.
1:54:58 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, a restrictive one, okay?
1:55:12 A restrictive relative clause gives us essential information.
1:55:17 That means if we do not have this information, we cannot understand that now.
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 Cuz you might think, "Can't I use which there?" 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, okay?
1:56:01 Our simple sentence is the book isn't mine, 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.
1:56:10 I started the clause with that, yeah?
1:56:13 Why?
1:56:14 So, in this case, imagine in the room there are a few books.
1:56:19 Let's say here.
1:56:21 Make a simple situation.
1:56:22 Let's say this is my table.
1:56:24 Here is my book, right?
1:56:25 But over there, there's a different book, okay?
1:56:28 Let's say this is my book, all right?
1:56:30 I want to be clear when I'm speaking to you.
1:56:33 I I want to talk about this book right here, not that book over there, 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.
1:56:52 Then if I say, "Okay,
1:56:55 I I to talk about a different book." 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, okay?
1:57:05 So, in this kind of situation where we have two books, 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, okay?
1:57:18 So, the book that is on the table is it mine.
1:57:22 The book that is in my bag is mine, 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, okay?
1:57:35 So, it's like saying another way, mhm, there's a way to test.
1:57:39 You can test, is this a restrictive relative clause or no?
1:57:42 Mhm.
1:57:43 Try thinking about it.
1:57:45 If you say, uh, like if you remove this part,
1:57:49 if you remove the part and say, uh, the book is mine, right?
1:57:53 It's like, well, which book?
1:57:54 If you need to be very clear about
1:57:56 which one you're talking about in a situation,
1:57:59 like if you're on the street and you say, oh, that car's cool.
1:58:02 You went, wait, which car?
1:58:04 That's something that needs a relative clause that is restrictive, okay?
1:58:08 So, that's a way to kind of test, do I need to use this restrictive type?
1:58:13 And then use that.
1:58:15 If it's not, if it's very clear what you're talking about,
1:58:18 it's a non-restrictive relative clause, 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.
1:58:28 My brother, who is a professional architect Well,
1:58:32 he needs something to finish the sentence.
1:58:33 My brother is a professional architect is a sentence.
1:58:37 Or maybe my brother, who is very hard working, is a professional architect.
1:58:40 You need some more, uh, information.
1:58:42 So, go back to part one, yeah?
1:58:44 Try to do step one and step two and put your ideas together.
1:58:48 Okay.
1:58:49 Woo.
1:58:50 Let me see.
1:58:52 Um, um, um, um, oh.
1:58:55 Inazuma tried one.
1:58:56 Nice.
1:58:56 The slippers that are Make sure that your verb
1:59:00 in these sentences I have singular is, yeah?
1:59:02 The slippers that are in the closet are mine.
1:59:06 Or the slippers that are in the garden aren't mine.
1:59:09 So, that's another point.
1:59:10 Be careful of that.
1:59:11 In this case, I have a singular subject, right?
1:59:14 This the book.
1:59:16 So, my verb matches the subject, yeah?
1:59:18 If you have plural, like let's say the books, okay?
1:59:23 Make sure your verb matches your subject, right?
1:59:27 Singular and plural there.
1:59:28 Mhm.
1:59:29 Okay.
1:59:30 Um Ericsson, I think the difference between which and that is the which is used
1:59:34 to give information about the noun and that is
1:59:37 used to give details about the noun.
1:59:39 I would encourage you to watch this point again.
1:59:41 I just explained the details of that.
1:59:43 So, I hope that that I hope that helps you.
1:59:45 Maybe watch it again.
1:59:47 And if you have more questions,
1:59:48 I have other videos about this topic that break down uh
1:59:51 restrictive relative clauses or just Google
1:59:54 restrictive relative clauses for more information.
1:59:58 Phew.
1:59:58 Okay.
1:59:59 Uh Rocky, a mask, so let's use the mask, right?
2:00:03 You want to be very clear, not just random, right?
2:00:06 The mask that is lying on the floor is mine is correct, yeah?
2:00:12 That thing is mine, right?
2:00:14 The mask that is lying on the floor is mine.
2:00:17 Then your sentence is correct.
2:00:19 Phew.
2:00:19 Okay.
2:00:20 Uh great, some other examples.
2:00:22 Daniel on Facebook wrote, "Alicia, thanks.
2:00:24 The uniform that is on the sofa is yours." Great.
2:00:27 Okay, so if there are a few uniforms in the room and you want to be clear,
2:00:32 that one right there.
2:00:32 The uniform on the sofa is yours.
2:00:34 Perfect.
2:00:35 Well done.
2:00:36 Okay.
2:00:37 Um Okay, I don't see any other examples.
2:00:40 Oh my gosh, time goes so quickly.
2:00:42 So, let's continue.
2:00:43 Let's continue to the final point, which is very very quick, I promise.
2:00:47 So, we can do something called a reduced relative clause.
2:00:52 A reduced relative clause sounds scary.
2:00:54 It means short.
2:00:56 It means a short relative clause, okay?
2:00:58 So, we sometimes we just want to make it shorter.
2:01:01 It's efficient to do that.
2:01:03 There is a pattern you can look for to make
2:01:07 your relative clauses a little bit more efficient, okay?
2:01:10 So, you can reduce relative clauses that use ing verbs, okay?
2:01:17 So, here's an example.
2:01:20 The person who is talking to the teacher is my mother, okay?
2:01:25 The person who is talking to the teacher is my mother.
2:01:27 First, let's find the relative clause.
2:01:30 Here is our hint word, who, right?
2:01:32 That begins the relative clause.
2:01:35 The person who is talking to the teacher is my mother, right?
2:01:40 Our simple sentence is that person is my mother, right?
2:01:43 The person is my mother.
2:01:45 In this case, we need the information, right?
2:01:47 Uh oh, good point.
2:01:48 Also, we don't have a uh like a which-that difference for uh who pronouns.
2:01:54 We always just use who when we talk about people, so that's easy, right?
2:01:58 Okay?
2:01:59 Um so, we What was I going to say?
2:02:03 Uh oh, yes.
2:02:03 How do we reduce them?
2:02:04 So, to make this shorter, we can remove this who is right here.
2:02:10 So, the person talking to the teacher is my mother.
2:02:15 I put a little too much on the line there.
2:02:16 So, the person talking to the teacher is my mother.
2:02:20 So, we can use this as a short version.
2:02:23 See how I removed who is?
2:02:25 We can do that with this grammar pattern when
2:02:28 you have an ing verb in your relative clause.
2:02:31 You can make it shorter.
2:02:32 Okay?
2:02:33 Uh last point then.
2:02:35 It's up to you to reduce.
2:02:36 You do not have to reduce.
2:02:38 It's just a choice.
2:02:40 Okay.
2:02:41 Phew.
2:02:42 Let's see.
2:02:43 Quest Ah!
2:02:44 Can I see if the question things things can go to ask.
2:02:48 Um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um Uh Rocky, so no or an.
2:02:53 Well, it's it depends So usually when we use a relative clause,
2:02:58 we want to talk about something that's specific, right?
2:03:00 So we're probably going to use the to describe
2:03:03 that because we want to talk about a specific noun.
2:03:06 Can't think of an example.
2:03:08 Well, maybe if you're talking generally in the news
2:03:11 about like a concept like a country that has,
2:03:14 you know, blah blah blah conditions is doing well economically.
2:03:17 You might see some that are about concepts.
2:03:20 Um in which case, yes, it's okay to use an article.
2:03:24 But as a general guide, you should use the when you're talking about,
2:03:28 you know, an object that's right in front of you.
2:03:30 You want to be specific about that thing.
2:03:32 So yes, you can use indefinite articles sometimes,
2:03:38 but again, it just it depends on the situation.
2:03:40 So it's not Don't say, "Oh, I should never use a or an." There
2:03:44 are absolutely cases like when we discuss concepts,
2:03:47 when we when we should use or an.
2:03:50 So I know that's not an easy to understand answer, but yeah,
2:03:54 sometimes you will use a and an, but generally when you
2:03:56 want to talk about something in front of you, you'll use the.
2:04:00 Okay.
2:04:01 Let me see.
2:04:01 Eric saying, "Can we also use that in a person as I like like in this sentence,
2:04:06 the person that is talking to the teacher is my mother?" Yes,
2:04:08 you will hear people say that.
2:04:09 Yeah.
2:04:11 I would say it's more correct and clear to say who.
2:04:14 However, yes, we often use I'm sure I often use that in everyday speech.
2:04:19 Like the rules of everyday speech and the rules of perfect speech,
2:04:23 we make a lot of mistakes including me.
2:04:25 I don't speak perfectly in everyday speech as well.
2:04:27 So yes, you will hear people say,
2:04:29 "The person that is talking to the teacher is my mother." That's fine.
2:04:33 It's not a communication problem.
2:04:34 If you You to be perfect perfect angel of language, you can use who.
2:04:39 But yes, that is also very common.
2:04:41 Okay.
2:04:42 Um, some other examples.
2:04:46 Let's see.
2:04:47 Nevian wrote the school placing at the corner is my son's school.
2:04:50 Maybe the school on the corner is my son's school.
2:04:54 I'm not sure what placing means.
2:04:55 Do you mean like the school located on the corner
2:04:57 or the school that's on the corner is my son's school?
2:05:00 Maybe that's what you want to say.
2:05:02 Um, other examples.
2:05:05 Uh, oh, look at that.
2:05:07 I'm out of time as usual.
2:05:09 I don't know why.
2:05:10 Time just goes so quickly when I teach these lessons.
2:05:12 I love all your great questions.
2:05:14 I'm trying to check the chat really quickly before we go.
2:05:18 Rodrigo, hello Rodrigo,
2:05:20 wrote that girl that girl singing on the stage is my girlfriend.
2:05:23 Love that.
2:05:24 Yes, great one.
2:05:24 Nice reduced relative clause.
2:05:26 Fantastic.
2:05:28 Uh, Jamal Jamil, can you explain the difference between who and whom, please?
2:05:32 Very well, different question from today.
2:05:34 And I'm also out of time.
2:05:35 If you want the answer, you're on YouTube.
2:05:38 Do a search, who and whom.
2:05:39 I have a video about that topic and lots and lots of examples.
2:05:43 I would feel bad if I tried to do a quick
2:05:45 example that is not cuz it's not about today's topic.
2:05:49 So, I would say just quickly cuz we're ending now.
2:05:51 Pop that into YouTube search and find one of my videos about it.
2:05:55 I've talked about it a few times.
2:05:57 Okay, I have to finish today.
2:05:59 I am out of time, sadly.
2:06:00 But I hope that you can take away this kind of three-step process.
2:06:05 Yes, yeah, of putting together two sentences to create
2:06:08 a long sentence that gives detail about something
2:06:11 and that you understand I hope for more advanced
2:06:15 learners how to use that for a restrictive relative clause.
2:06:19 How to be very specific about two similar things and how to be clear about them.
2:06:24 Okay, I have to finish up for there today.
2:06:26 Oh, yes, if you want to take a screenshot,
