0:34 bad habits and desired habits, the habits you want.

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

13:25 Okay.

13:26 Let's go to the next part then.

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.

38:08 Uh, who else?

38:12 Patrick, hey.

38:13 Meow, what's up?

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,

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

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.

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

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

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.

1:08:33 Natalie.

1:08:33 Hi.

1:08:34 Anela.

1:08:35 Hi.

1:08:36 Rudy's from Chile.

1:08:37 What's up?

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.

1:20:15 Uh can I use daily instead of every day?

1:20:18 Yes, you can.

1:20:19 So, I brush my teeth daily, right?

1:20:22 He drinks coffee daily.

1:20:23 Yes, you can use that.

1:20:25 Okay, we got to move along because oh my gosh, that was a long time.

1:20:28 Okay, great.

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.

1:37:35 So, we'll do that next week.

1:38:08 point you can use to give extra details.

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.
