2:23 Some people are watching on Facebook, but there's no comments.

2:25 What's up?

2:26 H YouTube, what's up?

2:28 Hello, Jacob.

2:29 Uh, Itachi, Jamila, I hope I said your name correctly.

2:32 Nihala, uh, Shahhab, uh, Pablo, what's up everybody?

2:39 Cool.

2:40 Let's begin because we have a lot to cover today.

2:43 Get your notebook ready.

2:44 We're going to talk about some grammar.

2:46 Let's begin.

2:47 First grammar point today is present progressive.

2:52 The other name for this grammar point is present continuous.

2:56 They are the same, don't worry.

2:57 So when should we use present progressive and what is the pattern?

3:02 Let's begin with the pattern for this grammar point.

3:06 First we have in this section our subject.

3:10 So the beginning of our sentence our sentence

3:13 pattern for the day will be this part.

3:16 This is our subject part where we choose I as the subject.

3:21 We choose you, we or they or we choose she, he and it.

3:26 So we need to think about which subject to use

3:31 because we have to use the correct verb with the subject.

3:35 So that means if your subject is I use the verb am.

3:41 I am.

3:42 You, we or they are and she, he, it is.

3:48 Okay.

3:49 A little review here.

3:51 Next we use to make it negative not in the following

3:55 position and we end with a verb in the ing form.

4:00 Okay.

4:01 So I am verbing or I am not verbing or you are not verbing or he is verbing.

4:12 Okay.

4:12 So we will use this grammar pattern today.

4:15 Next.

4:16 What does this express?

4:17 Let's go to the second slide I have.

4:20 When we use present progressive we express

4:23 that something happening at the present happening now

4:27 this star means now watching this video that means

4:32 something is happening now so this line means

4:35 it's continuing now the action is happening now

4:39 so for example I am teaching you are

4:44 watching you are listening something like that right

4:47 happening now in the moment Okay, this is important.

4:51 So, let's take a look at some examples.

4:54 Let's break down these examples and send me your examples in the chat.

5:00 I will check them live.

5:01 Okay.

5:02 So, let's see.

5:03 First one, I am working on my website.

5:06 I am working on my website.

5:07 Here is my subject.

5:09 In this case, I.

5:11 My verb is am to match the subject I.

5:15 Next is the verb in the ing form.

5:18 working and in this case I have my extra information at the end of the sentence.

5:25 I am working on something right?

5:29 So if you want to use this pattern make sure to use the preposition on.

5:34 I am working on blah blah blah.

5:37 You can change my website to your project.

5:40 Okay.

5:41 Also to make this more natural we usually say I'm I'm working on my website.

5:47 So reduce or contract those when possible to sound natural.

5:53 Marshall on Facebook wrote,

5:54 "I'm actively listening to the live stream." We love that.

5:58 Great.

5:58 Okay, let's go to the second example and then

6:01 I'll come to more uh chat chat points.

6:04 What does XP mean in the YouTube chat today?

6:06 I've never seen that before.

6:07 He is learning how to code.

6:09 He is learning how to code.

6:11 Here is my subject.

6:13 He He We match the he subject with the verb is.

6:19 Yeah.

6:20 Next is our verb learning.

6:23 Learning.

6:24 He is learning.

6:26 In this case, how to code.

6:28 How to code.

6:29 Note for this particular for this pattern,

6:33 we use this how to how to plus the base form of the verb.

6:39 If you want to use this pattern,

6:41 you can use he he or subject is learning how to any verb you want

6:47 like I am learning how to cook or she is learning how to ride a bicycle.

6:53 It's a very easy pattern to use, right?

6:56 Learning how to blah blah blah.

6:58 Pick your verb.

6:59 Some examples are coming in.

7:01 Shahhab wrote, I'm watching the live English course.

7:04 Nice.

7:04 Perfect.

7:05 others.

7:07 Ena Zuma wrote, "I'm listening to this live

7:10 stream." I'm listening to this live stream, not in.

7:13 That's perfect.

7:14 Okay.

7:15 Next.

7:16 She is studying for an exam.

7:20 She is studying for an exam.

7:22 Our subject is she.

7:24 We match it to the verb is.

7:27 And then we have verb in the ing form.

7:30 Studying.

7:31 She is studying.

7:33 When you want to talk about the topic of your studies, we use for.

7:38 She is studying for blah blah blah for an exam.

7:43 If you're a student, you can say, "I'm studying for a test.

7:47 I'm studying for an exam.

7:49 I'm studying for a certification." Right?

7:52 I'm studying for my final presentation.

7:56 Right?

7:56 So, use the preposition for in this pattern.

7:59 Note these prepositions are different.

8:02 on for in this case how to yeah these little words make a big difference.

8:08 Oh, some other examples are coming.

8:10 Uh patient wrote uh Ally is learning how to drive a car.

8:16 Okay.

8:16 Mino wrote, "I'm having breakfast while I'm watching you." Oh, okay.

8:20 Nice one.

8:20 Is that true?

8:21 Nice.

8:21 I hope you enjoy your breakfast.

8:23 Uh all right, continuing.

8:26 Uh last one.

8:27 Let's look at Oh, sorry.

8:28 Last two.

8:29 Let's look at some negative examples now.

8:32 We aren't working at the office right now.

8:35 We aren't working at the office right now.

8:38 So, do you remember this page I showed you earlier where I

8:42 said this means a continuing action in the negative form like this sentence?

8:49 We aren't working at the office right now.

8:53 It means this action is not happening at this time.

8:58 So, we use this for something that's a maybe

9:01 a regular action or an expected action that is not happening.

9:06 So, we're not working at the office right now.

9:10 Maybe instead we're working at the cafe.

9:13 The sentence grammar is exactly the same.

9:17 We have our subject here, we have aren't.

9:21 Aren't.

9:22 Oh, something weird happened there.

9:23 So, our subject is we.

9:26 And then aren't is the contracted form are not.

9:30 Are not here.

9:32 So aren't is how we say it in everyday natural speech.

9:36 And then the same pattern follows.

9:38 Working in this case a location at the office right now.

9:43 We aren't working at the office right now.

9:45 Okay.

9:46 Last one.

9:47 They aren't returning our calls.

9:49 They aren't returning our calls.

9:51 Oh no.

9:51 So subject they again aren't are not because our subject is they.

9:58 In this case our verb is return ing.

10:01 What are they not returning?

10:03 Our calls.

10:05 Let me check your examples and then we'll continue to the next part.

10:08 H Mary Esther wrote they are reading those old books.

10:12 Nice.

10:12 Inauma he's studying for a do you mean big quiz?

10:16 Bug quiz is different.

10:18 Uh let's see.

10:19 Somewhat sorry your name ends in Christina.

10:21 I'm working on my presentation.

10:22 Nice.

10:23 Paloma.

10:23 Hey, Paloma.

10:24 I'm working on my presentation.

10:25 Perfect.

10:26 Great job.

10:27 H others on Facebook.

10:29 There's one.

10:30 Uh Gabino wrote, "She is walking in the park." Use the preposition in.

10:34 She's walking in the park.

10:36 Inazuma, your negative sentence.

10:39 He isn't studying for his big quiz right now.

10:41 Yes, that's correct.

10:42 He isn't studying for his big quiz.

10:44 Tudo Tudo Anima wrote, "I'm having a great class." Good.

10:48 Let's continue then.

10:49 Nice job everybody.

10:50 Let's go uh let's end part one with making questions.

10:55 How do we make questions with this grammar?

10:58 To do this, we can make a question that begins with a wh question.

11:06 Who, what, where, when, why.

11:09 Right?

11:09 So we can start with that to make an information

11:13 question or we can start with this are is or am.

11:19 Starting here makes a yes or no question.

11:22 Are is or am.

11:23 Okay.

11:25 Finally we add the subject plus the verb in the ing form.

11:31 What does this pattern look like?

11:33 So what are you doing?

11:35 Very simple, right?

11:37 What are you doing?

11:38 Let's see how the grammar fits this pattern.

11:41 Here is my wh question.

11:43 Here is my verb to match.

11:45 Here is my subject you.

11:47 And doing is my verb in the ing form.

11:51 What are you doing at native speed?

11:53 What are you doing?

11:54 What are you doing?

11:56 Last one here.

11:57 Where are they going for lunch?

12:00 Where are they going for lunch?

12:02 Again, we have our wh question.

12:04 We have are in the next position, they as our subject, and our verb going.

12:11 Where are they going for lunch?

12:13 Okay, let's see other points.

12:16 Um, points that are about the lesson.

12:20 Okay, let's continue on to the next the next part real quick.

12:25 Point one, our grammar point one.

12:27 Looks good, everybody.

12:28 Let's go on to point two now.

12:30 Really quickly, if you missed it before, the team has a free PDF ebook for you.

12:35 Don't miss it.

12:36 This has the 2,000 core words of English in it.

12:51 Yeah, super super good.

12:52 Learn the most important words first.

12:54 I think that's a really good idea.

12:56 Okay, let's go to part two.

12:59 Present perfect.

13:01 Present perfect.

13:02 I know many people struggle with this.

13:04 So, let's practice it.

13:05 Don't be afraid of present perfect.

13:07 Present perfect is your friend.

13:08 Okay.

13:09 So, present perfect.

13:10 Oh, also if you haven't,

13:12 please make sure to hit the like button and share this video.

13:15 Yeah.

13:15 So other people can find today's lesson.

13:18 Okay.

13:18 Let's continue.

13:19 Present perfect tense.

13:21 Present perfect.

13:22 Here is the pattern and then I will explain when we use it to refresh you.

13:27 Then we have our subject.

13:29 We must choose the subject and match it to have or has.

13:34 Right?

13:35 So I, you, we, they have.

13:38 He, she, it has, right?

13:41 And then we add not to make it negative and the past participle verb form.

13:48 That's a lot, right?

13:49 When do we use present perfect?

13:52 Let's take a look at the second page.

13:54 So, we use present perfect in a couple different situations.

13:59 First is for something that started in the past

14:04 back here and that continues to the present.

14:07 Okay?

14:07 Something that started in the past and continued to the present or we can use

14:12 it for something that happened in the past

14:15 and when it happened is not important.

14:18 Okay?

14:19 So for example, I have lived in another country when it's not important.

14:25 I just want to express my life experience.

14:28 Yeah.

14:29 Or I have eaten sushi before.

14:33 When is not important.

14:34 I just express my life experience.

14:37 Okay.

14:37 So let's go back to the first part and take a look at our example sentences now.

14:43 So, how do we use these to express what we are working on?

14:49 Here are some examples.

14:50 I've finished my to-do list for today.

14:54 I've finished my to-do list for today.

14:56 Okay, so here, right here.

15:00 Oh, where's my marker?

15:01 Okay, I've right here.

15:03 This I've is I plus have.

15:07 I have is reduced to I've finished.

15:12 This is my present or I'm sorry, my past participle verb.

15:18 I've finished, right?

15:19 I have finished means I started it before and now

15:24 by this time at the present it is done.

15:27 Okay?

15:28 Or we could understand it as I did it sometime before today.

15:32 Okay.

15:32 I've finished my to-do list for today.

15:35 Yes, it's true.

15:36 You could say, "I finished my to-do list." That sounds like it's a report.

15:41 It was finished a while ago.

15:44 If you use, "I've finished," it sounds a little more recent.

15:49 It sounds like you were working on it for a while today and now you are done.

15:54 So, both are correct.

15:55 I finished and I've finished.

15:58 Okay, let's continue.

16:00 Sentence two.

16:01 He hasn't finished the proposal.

16:03 Negative.

16:04 Yeah, he hasn't finished the proposal.

16:06 So, subject is he.

16:08 Here we have hasn't.

16:10 This is the reduced form has not.

16:13 He hasn't.

16:16 So, contract not to.

16:19 He hasn't.

16:20 Here is our past participle verb.

16:23 He hasn't finished the proposal.

16:26 Right?

16:26 You can use this one for something you started

16:30 working on, continued working on, but it's not done yet.

16:35 Okay?

16:36 He hasn't finished the proposal or I haven't finished the proposal.

16:41 It sounds like you started it.

16:43 It's in progress, but not ready yet.

16:47 So, this negative form is super helpful.

16:50 This is a great way to show your boss or to show somebody you started something.

16:56 It is now in progress.

16:57 You are going to finish it, but it's not ready at this moment in time.

17:02 Okay, continuing.

17:05 She hasn't submitted the paperwork yet.

17:07 She hasn't submitted the paperwork yet.

17:10 Our subject is she.

17:11 We have has not again, right?

17:14 She hasn't submitted.

17:16 So, to submit, maybe you know the verb to turn in, like to turn in homework.

17:22 Submit is the professional word for this.

17:25 to submit paperwork or to submit an application.

17:28 Yeah, the past participle form is submitted.

17:32 She hasn't submitted the paperwork yet.

17:36 So, today I'm not going to talk a lot about yet and already.

17:40 But this right here is a big hint.

17:43 She's going to submit the paperwork, but she hasn't submitted the paperwork yet.

17:50 Right?

17:50 So, that means she's maybe working on it.

17:53 She's going to do it.

17:54 Just not not yet.

17:56 It hasn't finished yet.

17:58 Okay, last one.

17:59 We haven't taken a break today.

18:01 We haven't taken a break today.

18:03 Here is my subject.

18:05 We we have have here because we use the we subject.

18:10 Not again.

18:11 We haven't.

18:12 And past participle verb is taken.

18:15 We haven't taken a break today.

18:17 We need a break.

18:18 Okay.

18:18 So you can see these negative forms are very very helpful

18:22 in work and in school because they communicate you started something.

18:27 You are working on it now and it will be finished in the future.

18:31 Okay, let's move on to questions.

18:34 I don't see examples in the chat yet.

18:37 Send some if you feel you want to try.

18:40 Okay, Megan questions.

18:42 How do we make questions and why do we make questions with this?

18:45 We do a wh question again like we talked about before plus have or has followed

18:53 by our subject are you we they he and we end with the past participle verb form.

19:00 So let's look at some common questions you can use here.

19:03 First what have you done today?

19:05 What have you done today?

19:07 Okay, this is different from what did you do today?

19:10 Yeah, both are correct but they have different meanings.

19:14 What have you done today?

19:17 If you ask this at lunchtime, it means what have you done or what

19:22 did you do from the morning until this point?

19:26 Yeah.

19:26 If you ask at the end of the day, it means what uh did you do all day long?

19:32 And because we use have instead of what did you do today,

19:38 it means I expect you are continuing

19:42 your work or you're continuing your studies.

19:45 You're continuing your action.

19:47 Yeah.

19:47 If you say, "What did you do today?" It sounds like it's finished.

19:52 You're done.

19:53 Right?

19:53 So when you meet your friend for dinner, you can say,

19:56 "Oh, what did you do today?" Because it's finished, right?

20:00 That means your job, your studies, your family, whatever.

20:04 Yeah, that sounds natural.

20:06 What did you do today is done.

20:08 What have you done today means I expect you are going to continue something.

20:15 So this is a question your boss or maybe

20:18 your parents might ask you or your teacher, what have you done today?

20:22 Okay, sounds like they expect you are going to do more things.

20:26 Okay, next one.

20:28 Where has my boss gone?

20:30 Where has my boss gone?

20:31 Oh my gosh.

20:32 So again, we could use simple past tense here.

20:34 We could say, where did my boss go?

20:37 Where did my boss go?

20:39 But where has my boss gone?

20:41 It sounds like my boss went somewhere and maybe

20:44 they are still going or this is a continuing situation.

20:48 I'm going to continue searching for my boss.

20:52 I don't know where my boss is.

20:53 So if you say, "Where did my boss go?"

20:56 It sounds like the boss is gone completely finished.

20:59 They left the building.

21:00 Maybe.

21:01 We don't know.

21:02 So, there's a little more wiggle room with this.

21:04 Where has my boss gone uses the wh question plus has plus in this case my boss?

21:13 So, this subject is actually my boss here.

21:16 And the past participle verb is gone.

21:18 Okay.

21:19 And finally, who has she spoken to?

21:22 Who has she spoken to?

21:24 Wh question has she is our subject and our past participle verb is spoken to.

21:30 Who has she spoken to about this?

21:32 Did she speak to the client?

21:34 So, we often use present perfect together with past perfect

21:39 to ask about continuing situations and finish situations and their relationship.

21:45 Okay, let's see.

21:47 Um, I don't see any examples.

21:50 Something terrible has happened in the chat.

21:52 Okay.

21:53 Oh, are they down there now?

21:55 Ah, great.

21:55 Okay, now there's some examples.

21:56 Thank you, control desk.

21:58 Uh, sorry if I missed you guys there.

21:59 We had a little a little technical moment.

22:02 Uh, oh my gosh.

22:03 Uh, Mino wrote, "I've finished maybe I would

22:06 say I know we're not talking about it today,

22:09 but already I've already finished my housework this morning

22:12 to emphasize that something is done maybe early." That sounds good.

22:16 Others, uh, Mara wrote, "You've written a note." Nice one.

22:21 Uh, can we scroll down a little bit more?

22:23 Thank you.

22:24 Uh, patient wrote, "She hasn't studied for the exam.

22:28 She hasn't studied for the exam." Okay.

22:31 Uh, Inazuma, I have often confused had and has.

22:35 What is the difference?

22:36 I have a video about that.

22:38 Do a search on the YouTube channel.

22:40 Search had has.

22:41 I have like four videos about that because it's not always the same answer.

22:47 It depends on how it's used in the sentence.

22:49 Uh, Sebas wrote, "I have already eaten dinner." Nice.

22:52 Um, Paloma wrote, "He hasn't sent the emails with all the details." Perfect.

22:58 Patient wrote, "Where have you been today?" Perfect.

23:03 Facebook.

23:04 Oh, there's one.

23:05 Why have you done the exercise?

23:06 Okay.

23:07 Okay.

23:07 There's That's grammatically correct.

23:09 Um, others.

23:11 Ah, Mary, careful.

23:13 Why haven't you Which verb form?

23:17 Doing the homework.

23:18 You need the past participle verb form.

23:20 Yeah.

23:21 Why haven't you done the homework?

23:23 Then it's perfect.

23:24 Good example.

23:25 Very, very close, Mary.

23:27 Okay, let's continue to the end because time always goes quickly.

23:32 Uh, I'll just remind you quickly and then I'll tell you

23:34 again officially at the end about this free P free PDF ebook.

23:40 Amazing.

23:40 Core words of English are the most important words.

23:43 Get it now so you can study the best words right from the beginning.

23:47 Okay, let's go to the last part because oh my gosh, so much information.

23:52 Present, perfect, progressive.

23:55 A very long name for this grammar point.

23:58 Present perfect progressive.

23:59 Let's look at the pattern and then we will look at when we should use it.

24:03 So, subject have or has been verbing.

24:09 Okay, subject has been verbing.

24:13 All right, so two points to notice here.

24:16 one, we have this subject have or has.

24:20 This is the same as present perfect.

24:23 However, we have to use been and the verb in the ing form here.

24:30 Okay?

24:31 So, this grammar point is kind of like this one.

24:35 Present progressive and present perfect together.

24:40 So, it's very confusing.

24:42 I understand.

24:43 Trust me, I understand.

24:45 So, let's go slowly.

24:46 I also want to note this is the grammar point we often use for and since with.

24:54 I'm not going to talk a lot about for and since today because I don't have time.

24:58 This is a very big lesson.

25:00 If you want to know more about this grammar point,

25:03 you can search uh the English class 101 YouTube

25:06 channel or if you are a member of the website, thank you very much.

25:10 You can search for that uh on our website also.

25:12 So you can get um my lesson and all kinds of information there.

25:17 So next let's look when should we use this grammar point.

25:22 Present perfect progressive is something we use

25:26 for an action that started in the past continues

25:30 to the present and that it feels like it's going to continue in the future also.

25:38 Yeah.

25:39 So you can maybe see how these three

25:42 these three grammar points are very different.

25:44 Yeah.

25:45 This one present progressive is happening now.

25:49 This one happened at a point in the past.

25:52 Right.

25:53 This one is continuing started in the past continues and keeps going.

25:59 Okay.

26:00 So maybe you can see the differences between these three.

26:04 Okay.

26:04 Let's continue.

26:06 I'll check your answers quickly.

26:08 Uh, oh wow, there's already examples.

26:11 You guys are great.

26:12 Wow, nice job.

26:13 Elman wrote, uh, she has been writing for an hour.

26:16 Nice one.

26:17 Zas wrote, "She has been studying all day long." Great.

26:20 Mino wrote, "I've been working as an English teacher since 2010." Is that true?

26:24 That's cool.

26:25 Uh, Victor, I haven't finished uh, that's a different one.

26:29 I haven't finished uh, learning English.

26:33 So, we have to check uh, link those two verbs together.

26:37 I haven't finished learning English because it's a lifelong task.

26:40 Yeah, me too.

26:41 I learn new English words all the time.

26:44 It's true.

26:46 Okay.

26:46 Uh Elman wrote again.

26:48 He has been playing games since 9:00 a.m.

26:51 Oh my gosh, you guys have so many good examples already.

26:53 Uh Natalie wrote, "I have been living in the UK

26:57 for three years." And someone your last name Diaz maybe.

27:01 They've been living in CR since 2017.

27:04 Mary wrote, "She's been learning a lot." Oh my gosh,

27:07 you guys are saying all the examples before I can give the examples.

27:11 Everybody, you're teaching yourselves today.

27:13 I love it.

27:14 I approve.

27:14 Very impressive.

27:16 Facebook, where's you going?

27:17 What's going on over there?

27:18 Facebook, your YouTube classmates are doing a good job.

27:21 Uh, let's go to Alicia's examples because they're here.

27:25 So, let's talk about them.

27:27 The first one, I have been cooking dinner for two hours.

27:31 Let's break down the grammar here.

27:33 our subject I.

27:35 Come on board, you can do it.

27:36 Okay, I I and then have because our subject is I.

27:42 I didn't write it here, but I have.

27:44 Next, we have been.

27:46 And then we have the verb in the ing form.

27:49 I have been cooking dinner in this case for two hours.

27:54 We use for plus a length of time.

27:57 I've been cooking dinner for two hours.

28:00 If you want to use since, you need to use a point in time.

28:03 I've been cooking dinner since five o'clock.

28:06 Right?

28:06 Okay.

28:07 Next one.

28:08 He's been building his website since last month.

28:11 He's been building his website since last month.

28:13 One key point I want to talk about in this one.

28:15 It's a very small point, but this is very important.

28:19 So, get ready.

28:20 It's this.

28:21 He's this little apostrophe s.

28:25 So this one he's apostrophe s he e apostrophe s

28:30 or same thing with she's same idea sometimes this means

28:36 he has in this sentence it means he has

28:39 right that's our grammar point but sometimes it means he

28:43 is how do you know what's the difference if

28:46 you say for example he's been building his website

28:49 or for example he's funny really simple sentence they Both

28:55 use he's but this one only this one means he has.

29:00 The other one means he is.

29:02 This is a common contraction in English.

29:05 So a question is how do you know?

29:07 How do I know which one is has and which one is is?

29:10 The answer is this been.

29:13 If after the contracted he's or she's you see been, it means has.

29:20 This will get easier to recognize as you practice.

29:24 He's been building.

29:25 You will notice the grammar after this is different.

29:29 So you know it's not it can't be is because if you write

29:34 that it would be he is been building which is grammatically not correct.

29:38 Right?

29:39 So if you ever think is this an is or has

29:43 try to remove the contraction and say he has or he is.

29:49 Which one fits in the sentence?

29:50 Which is correct?

29:52 That's the one that you want.

29:53 Okay, let's look at the last example here.

29:57 My friend has been advertising her business in a local magazine for six months.

30:04 I made a long one here.

30:05 My friend has been advertising a business.

30:07 I'm sorry.

30:08 My friend has been advertising her business in a local magazine for six months.

30:13 Let's break this down.

30:14 subject my friend has.

30:17 Okay, my friend has plus been advertising our verb in the ing form.

30:26 What has she been advertising?

30:28 Her business in this sentence.

30:31 I include even more information.

30:34 I do it within a local magazine.

30:37 My friend has been advertising her business in a local magazine.

30:41 So, I explain the method, right?

30:44 Then I end it with for six months.

30:47 Right?

30:48 So we can include a lot of information in sentences like these.

30:52 We need to use those little prepositions to help us do that to help us connect.

30:57 Okay, let me check the chat and then we'll go to the last part, questions.

31:02 Uh Paloma wrote, "She's been trying to fix my laptop for four hours.

31:06 That's a long time." I hope that's not true.

31:09 I hate it when my laptop breaks.

31:11 Um, Renee on Facebook wrote, "He has been eating." Oh,

31:15 he Someone has been You need a subject.

31:17 You have no subject, Renee.

31:19 Someone has been eating bananas on the tree.

31:22 Maybe the monkey has been eating bananas on the tree.

31:25 That's a good one.

31:26 Okay, back to YouTube.

31:27 Um, Alex wrote, "I have been looking

31:30 for an English teacher for five years." Then it's good.

31:34 Don't forget your article n because the next word starts with a vowel sound.

31:39 Um, Inazuma, I he hasn't been attending class.

31:44 No in there.

31:45 He hasn't been attending class for almost a month.

31:48 Okay.

31:49 Uh, Juan Matos wrote, "I've been studying English by 101 for three years." Ah,

31:54 I've been studying English with maybe this channel or I've

31:58 been studying English with English class 101 for three years.

32:01 Is that true?

32:02 Thank you.

32:02 That's awesome.

32:03 That's super cool.

32:04 Okay, let's finish.

32:07 So much to explain today, but we made it.

32:09 The last part now making questions.

32:12 How do we make a question with this grammar point?

32:15 Same idea as before.

32:17 A wh question.

32:19 Who, what, where, when, why to begin plus have,

32:23 or has plus the subject been, verbing.

32:28 Wow, that's a big pattern.

32:29 But you can just drop in your words in subject and verb

32:35 positions and in the wh question positions to easily make your own sentence.

32:40 So, let's look at a few common ones.

32:43 What have you been working on recently?

32:46 That's the goal for today's lesson,

32:47 for you to explain what you've been working on recently.

32:51 Yeah.

32:52 So, I've been working on building a new website

32:56 or I've been working on uh getting new clients.

33:00 Yeah.

33:00 Or I've been working on my house projects.

33:03 Yeah.

33:03 So, you can explain what you have been working on.

33:07 Second, where have you been taking classes?

33:10 Where have you been taking classes?

33:12 That's a good one to know.

33:14 So, where have you been taking classes is a more I think

33:18 kind of rich and uh valuable sentence than where did you take classes?

33:24 Why?

33:24 Why?

33:25 I guess where did you take classes is not incorrect,

33:29 but it sounds like it's finished.

33:31 That action's done.

33:32 You do not take classes anymore.

33:34 Where have you been taking classes sounds like

33:39 where is your class that you go to now?

33:42 you went to in the past and you are continuing to go to.

33:46 Yeah.

33:46 So if someone asks you where have you been taking English classes,

33:50 you can say oh I have been taking English classes at englishclass101.com.

33:57 See what I did there?

33:58 Okay.

33:59 So these are really really valuable like they give us a lot of information.

34:04 If you want to upgrade your English speaking, challenge, sorry,

34:08 challenge yourself and use these like tough but very useful grammar points.

34:14 Okay.

34:15 Okay, we made it.

34:16 Hooray.

34:17 We got through a lot of stuff today.

34:19 Uh, if you would like to take a screenshot, you can do that.

34:47 you can scan it and you will get this so you don't have to take a screenshot.

39:56 Uh Gassan, what's up?

39:57 Abdullah, hello.

39:58 Welcome everybody on YouTube.

40:00 Hello Renee from Honduras.

40:02 What's up?

40:02 Gabriel, hey Mino Jamily, Cesar.

40:05 Yaya, hello.

40:06 I am feeling good.

40:07 Shahab uh tiny heart.

40:10 Hello Inazuma, what's up everybody?

40:12 Okay, we're going to start today uh quickly and I

40:15 hope today you can give me some example sentences.

40:19 I want you all to have a good chance to practice yourself today in the chat.

40:24 So get ready.

40:25 Okay, let's get started then.

40:27 Let's begin with giving and receiving.

40:31 Giving and receiving.

40:32 So to give something means you have an object like this person

40:37 and then you put this object in someone else's hands, right?

40:42 So let's say I have this pen, this marker.

40:45 I give the pen to someone else, right?

40:49 So it's not mine now.

40:50 I give it.

40:51 Right?

40:51 With give, we think I give it and it's over there now.

40:55 That's it's not mine now.

40:57 I gave it to you.

40:59 So in past tense, we are going to use past tense a lot today.

41:03 It is gave.

41:05 Gave.

41:06 Okay.

41:07 The other side then the side that takes the object.

41:13 This person uses the verb receive.

41:16 Right?

41:17 To receive something means to take something from someone

41:20 else in this case after they give it.

41:24 Right?

41:24 So to receive something or more

41:28 casually in everyday conversation to get something.

41:32 Okay?

41:33 To get something.

41:34 So in past tense which we are going to use today we have

41:38 received to receive something or we also use got for past tense of get.

41:46 Okay, so these are our key words for part one.

41:50 So let's first make a basic sentence with give or past tense gave.

41:56 So how do we express this relationship?

42:01 Yeah, we have a basic pattern actually one

42:04 basic pattern that we can change a little bit.

42:07 So subject gave object to person.

42:13 Subject gave object to person.

42:15 So for example, I gave a present to my friend.

42:22 I gave a present to my friend.

42:25 So I this is my subject.

42:27 Who gave the thing?

42:29 Me.

42:30 I did it.

42:30 I did it.

42:31 Okay.

42:31 I use past tense.

42:33 I gave the action is finished.

42:36 What did I give?

42:38 A present.

42:39 I gave a present.

42:41 This is singular.

42:42 One present, right?

42:43 You can use the plural.

42:45 I gave presents to my friend is okay.

42:48 Then we have the preposition to.

42:51 To shows the direction, right?

42:54 I gave a present to my friend.

42:57 So going away from me.

42:59 Who received the present?

43:02 My friend.

43:03 So I gave a present to my friend.

43:07 Okay.

43:08 I gave a present to my friend.

43:09 Very basic sentence, right?

43:11 You can send your examples in the chat.

43:14 Okay.

43:14 Then we can change this.

43:17 It is okay to change the position of the receiving person and the object.

43:25 Okay, this is also okay.

43:27 I gave my friend a present.

43:30 I gave my friend a present.

43:32 The beginning is the same.

43:34 I and gave these two, the subject and the past tense verb are the same.

43:41 However, in this pattern, the receiving person is after the verb.

43:48 Then we have the object.

43:51 Notice in this sentence, there is no preposition.

43:54 I gave my friend a present is also okay.

43:58 Okay.

43:58 So, both of these sentence patterns are all right.

44:01 All right.

44:02 Okay.

44:02 I see some examples coming in.

44:04 Uh on Facebook, Fernando wrote, "My friend gave me the hammer." Is it correct?

44:08 Yes.

44:09 Perfectly grammatically correct.

44:10 Love that.

44:11 Okay, I'm gonna look for some give examples.

44:15 Mina wrote, "I gave two drips of coffee." So drip, a drip means one water drop.

44:22 Very small.

44:23 So you don't want to say drips of coffee.

44:26 Yeah.

44:26 I gave two maybe bags of drip coffee.

44:31 Yeah.

44:31 Two drips means two tiny pieces of water like from a water droplet.

44:35 Like a water dropper.

44:37 It's very very small.

44:38 So, I gave two maybe bags of drip coffee to my father for Father's Day.

44:44 Okay.

44:44 No wrote, uh, he gave me a book for my birthday.

44:49 Great.

44:49 You use this sentence pattern.

44:50 So, he gave me a book.

44:52 Nice one.

44:53 Uh, M wrote, Alicia gave us great English lessons.

44:56 Hooray.

44:57 Thank you.

44:57 Nice sentence.

44:59 Uh, Gup, I hope said,

45:01 "I gave a new phone to my friend and he got it for me." Oh,

45:06 I see you made you made the reverse one.

45:08 Nice.

45:09 Okay.

45:09 Um, let's see some other ones.

45:12 Renee wrote, "She gives me water." Okay.

45:14 So, that's one.

45:15 That sentence means it's a regular action.

45:18 She gives me water.

45:20 Sounds like as maybe someone at work, you know,

45:22 oh, my coworker, she always gives me water.

45:25 So, maybe that could be it.

45:27 Uh, let's see.

45:28 Vonant wrote, I gave her a mobile.

45:30 Good.

45:31 Uh, Jamily wrote, I gave a So, food is uncountable.

45:35 Yeah.

45:36 So, I gave a delicious maybe treat.

45:39 So, for dogs, we often say treats.

45:41 Something special and small for the dog to eat.

45:44 I gave a delicious treat to my dog would be great.

45:47 Okay, good.

45:48 Let's continue then to the second part.

45:51 Let's talk about this side.

45:53 Now, the receiving side, the side that gets something.

45:57 Okay.

45:58 So the pattern here is subject got or received because it's past tense, right?

46:05 A finished action.

46:07 Subject got or received to be more formal.

46:11 Object from person.

46:15 Subject got object from person.

46:17 Let's look at the example sentence and then I'll

46:19 write one uh while you send me your examples too.

46:23 So first our subject I.

46:25 Okay.

46:25 So this means I receive.

46:27 I am this one here.

46:29 I got past tense.

46:32 I got a present.

46:35 I got a present.

46:36 I I received the present.

46:38 Here my preposition is from.

46:42 I got a present from my friend.

46:45 So in this sentence, my friend is this person, the giving person.

46:50 I got a present from my friend.

46:53 Big point here.

46:55 The preposition changed right from shows direction.

47:00 Yes, it shows the direction but it shows it

47:03 comes uh it starts here and it goes to me.

47:08 It comes to me.

47:09 So it came from somewhere else.

47:11 The opposite here.

47:13 So notice when the thing goes away from you,

47:16 it is to someone in the opposite direction from.

47:20 I got a present from my friend.

47:24 Yeah, we can switch this around.

47:26 Yeah, so we could say uh my friend gave me a present as well.

47:31 Okay, so we can switch we can talk uh

47:34 we can use these two sentences uh in opposite ways.

47:37 Yeah, so I got a present from my friend

47:41 and my friend gave me a present mean the same thing, right?

47:46 The only change is we swap the subject.

47:50 Who is the subject?

47:51 Who is giving?

47:52 Who is receiving?

47:53 Okay, I'll check your example sentences now.

47:56 Uh Nora wrote, "I received a book from my friend." Perfect example sentence.

48:00 Nahor, um let's see.

48:03 I'm looking for some examples.

48:04 Bernardo wrote, "Alicia got a lot of likes from her online class." Ah,

48:10 so from her online maybe learners or from her online students would be good.

48:15 I would say from the students rather than from the class.

48:18 Yeah, nice one.

48:19 Okay, let's go back to YouTube.

48:22 Uh, Natalie wrote, "My daughter got pocket money from me." Nice one.

48:26 Okay.

48:26 Who haven't I read yet?

48:31 Ena Zuma, you wrote, "I gave a present for my friend." Check your prepositions.

48:36 Yeah.

48:36 I gave a present to my friend for So,

48:41 you're showing the purpose, which is great.

48:43 I gave a present to my friend for uh his birthday, and he received it.

48:51 You don't have to say by delivery and he received it, right?

48:54 Or if you want to be specific.

48:56 I sent a present to my friend overseas.

49:01 Make it efficient.

49:02 That one sounds great.

49:04 Let's see.

49:05 Some people, you put it together again.

49:07 I gave her a mobile and she received it from me.

49:10 Okay, you're you're putting both of them together.

49:12 I love that.

49:14 Um Patrick, what do you want to say?

49:18 I've received money from my money.

49:20 So maybe you can that means I received money from money.

49:24 Who is the person?

49:26 Who is the person you receive from?

49:28 Right.

49:29 So maybe think about how to say that.

49:31 Okay.

49:32 All right.

49:33 So let me add one more here for an example.

49:36 So I got a present from my friend.

49:38 Let's change the subject then here.

49:41 Okay.

49:41 So, for example, uh my roommate my roommate

49:49 uh got a bonus a bonus from her manager.

49:59 My roommate, oops, got a bonus.

50:02 Sorry, that's hard to read.

50:04 Got a bonus from her manager.

50:06 So, this is a work situation.

50:08 Yeah, we can use this and we need to use this often in work situations.

50:13 It's not just in personal situations.

50:16 My roommate got a bonus from her manager.

50:21 So again, we have this preposition from and here we have her manager.

50:29 Her manager because we are talking about my roommate, right?

50:34 So the manager is my roommate's manager.

50:37 In this example sentence, the roommate is a woman.

50:40 So my roommate got a bonus from her manager.

50:43 So when you want to use this pattern,

50:45 make sure these words are also clear, right?

50:49 So that you show the relationship between the subject

50:53 uh and the person they receive something from.

50:56 Okay.

50:56 Goop wrote, I got a salary boost from my boss.

50:59 Is that okay?

51:00 Yes.

51:00 Good.

51:00 Uh to say it more naturally though, salary boost is raise.

51:05 I got a raise from my boss.

51:09 then it sounds very natural.

51:10 Okay.

51:11 All right.

51:13 Let's take a break and go to part two.

51:16 Great job everybody.

51:17 Nice one so far.

52:36 Okay, some more examples are coming.

52:38 Patrick, nice.

52:38 I received uh So, I you don't need to say I've

52:42 I received money from my mom to buy food for dinner.

52:46 Okay, I guess you can say I've received money from my mom.

52:49 So today I'm practicing just simple past tense.

52:52 I've received money from my mom.

52:54 Sounds like that affects your day.

52:56 So in this case, that's an appropriate choice.

52:58 Yes, you could also use simple past tense.

53:01 Okay, XP together.

53:03 Thanks.

53:03 I'm glad you are motivated by my lessons.

53:05 That's awesome.

53:06 Let's continue to borrow.

53:09 So let's talk about borrow first.

53:12 To borrow, let's use the same image here.

53:15 To borrow means to take something temporarily.

53:20 To take something temporarily.

53:23 This is the key word.

53:24 Temporarily means not forever, for a short time only.

53:30 Yeah.

53:31 So to borrow this person, the receiving person here,

53:36 the receiving person takes the object,

53:40 but in the future they will give back the thing.

53:44 Okay.

53:45 To borrow means this.

53:47 All right.

53:48 So, let's look at the first pattern

53:50 I want to practice and then we're practicing.

53:53 We're going to practice requests which gets a little bit difficult.

53:56 Okay.

53:57 So, first pattern is subject borrowed object from person.

54:04 Subject borrowed object from person.

54:07 Notice we are using in this pattern the preposition from.

54:11 Yeah.

54:12 Because we on this side we receive, right?

54:15 The subject here receives the object.

54:19 Yeah.

54:20 So we learned in part one when we receive we use the preposition from.

54:26 Okay.

54:26 Let's look at the examples first.

54:29 I borrowed a shirt from my sister.

54:33 I borrowed a shirt from my sister.

54:35 In this case, subject is I.

54:38 The person who receives.

54:39 Yeah.

54:40 Borrow.

54:41 Past tense.

54:42 I borrowed.

54:44 I borrowed.

54:45 It's finished.

54:46 What did I borrow?

54:47 I borrowed a shirt.

54:49 My preposition is from, right?

54:53 So, here is my sister.

54:54 My sister.

54:55 Who did I get it from?

54:56 My sister.

54:58 This is the person who originally had the item.

55:01 I borrowed a shirt from my sister.

55:03 Okay, let's look at the second example and then I'll come to the chat.

55:08 My mom borrowed a sweater from me.

55:11 My mom borrowed a sweater from me.

55:14 Okay, so in this case, my mom is the person receiving.

55:20 My mom borrowed past tense again.

55:23 What did she borrow?

55:25 A sweater.

55:27 We use the preposition from.

55:30 Who did she borrow it from?

55:32 Me.

55:33 Okay.

55:34 Notice in this position when we use uh so after

55:38 from we can use of course the title a person's

55:41 name or title like my sister my mother my father

55:45 or we can use this uh object pronoun me him

55:50 or her right so in this case me from me

55:53 not I you cannot use I that's the subject position

55:57 we want the object pronoun here so my mom borrowed

56:01 a sweater from me in this sentence This is me.

56:06 This is my mom.

56:07 Okay, so my mom borrowed a sweater from me.

56:10 This means she will give it back, I hope.

56:13 Okay, let me see your example sentences.

56:16 Uh, Goop wrote, "I borrowed some clothes from him." Perfect.

56:19 Natalie wrote, "I borrowed a bicycle from my sister." Perfect.

56:23 Um, Renee wrote, "I borrowed Don't forget your past tense there, Renee.

56:29 I borrowed uh, I borrowed the car." or I borrowed a car.

56:34 So, we don't know which car you mean.

56:36 Yeah.

56:36 I borrowed a car uh from Alicia to go to the USA.

56:42 Okay.

56:43 Um Inazuma wrote, "I've borrowed a lot of pens, a lot of pens,

56:48 plural from my mother so that I can use them for school." So,

56:53 a lot of plural item.

56:54 Yeah.

56:55 Make those fixes.

56:56 Your This pattern is great.

56:58 Just watch out for the singular and plural nouns.

57:01 Vant wrote, "I borrowed a book from the library

57:03 and read it over the weekend." Perfect.

57:05 Very nice.

57:06 No wrote, "Andreas borrowed an eraser from Natalie." Perfect.

57:10 Uh Patrick wrote, "I borrowed a school bag

57:12 from my cousin to go to college yesterday." Nice one.

57:15 On Facebook, uh Fernando, "My brother borrowed $500 from my sister." Very nice.

57:21 Nice examples, everybody.

57:22 Crushing it.

57:23 I love that.

57:23 Okay, let's go.

57:25 Oh, I just saw one.

57:26 Victor, I borrowed a loan from the Department of Education.

57:30 Loan is a different one.

57:32 Okay, I'm not going to talk a lot about loan today.

57:35 Uh we don't say I borrowed a loan because a loan means temporary money.

57:41 So it's like I borrowed and I got something temp.

57:44 It's like saying the same thing two times.

57:46 We say I got a loan or I received a loan like we talked about in part one.

57:52 I got a loan from the department of education.

57:54 Say that.

57:55 Don't say I borrowed a loan.

57:56 Right?

57:57 It's saying I borrowed borrowed money, which is like the same thing two times.

58:01 Okay, awesome.

58:02 Thank you.

58:03 Okay, let's go now.

58:04 Let's compare this to the requests section because I

58:08 think this part is where it gets a little difficult.

58:11 Yeah, how do you request this?

58:14 How do you ask someone, can I use that temporarily?

58:18 Right?

58:19 This is where I see most mistakes.

58:21 So, let's practice this one a lot.

58:23 Okay, let's practice this request pattern.

58:26 Can person borrow your object?

58:30 Can person borrow your object?

58:32 So when I say person here, use your subject pronoun.

58:36 Okay.

58:36 So let's look at the first example.

58:39 Can I borrow your pen?

58:42 Can I borrow your pen?

58:44 So in this sentence, can I?

58:47 Right.

58:47 So this is me.

58:49 I'm asking I want to use it, right?

58:52 I want to take it and then give it back.

58:55 Can I borrow?

58:57 No change to the verb.

58:59 Okay, dictionary verb form.

59:01 Can I borrow your pen?

59:04 In this case, it belongs to you.

59:07 This is the object.

59:08 Can I borrow your pen?

59:10 Can I borrow your pen?

59:12 Okay, very simple sentence, right?

59:14 But I think it gets confusing because you think, how do I how do I express it?

59:20 What do I what do I need to say here?

59:22 Very very simple.

59:23 And in this sentence, notice there's no preposition.

59:26 You don't have to say,

59:27 "Can I borrow your pen from you?" You can if you want to, but you don't have to.

59:32 Can I borrow your pen?

59:34 Is okay to use.

59:35 All right, let's talk now about a situation

59:39 where the object is just some object at work.

59:44 Like for example, uh it's a uh let's say it's

59:47 a coffee cup at your office or at your school.

59:50 Yeah.

59:51 So, you can say, "Can I borrow Can I borrow?" Oops.

59:57 It's hard to read, isn't it?

59:58 Sorry.

1:00:00 Can I borrow that coffee cup?

1:00:03 If you don't know if the other person is

1:00:06 using that, you can use a pattern like this.

1:00:10 Can I borrow That's still really hard to see.

1:00:13 Sorry, my Rs are coming out kind of ugly right now.

1:00:16 Can I borrow?

1:00:17 Oh my gosh.

1:00:18 Can I borrow?

1:00:20 There we go.

1:00:21 Can I borrow that?

1:00:24 Let's say cup.

1:00:25 Can I borrow that cup?

1:00:27 You can use this pattern if you don't know whose object it is.

1:00:33 Can I borrow that cup?

1:00:34 Or you could say, are you using that?

1:00:37 But you can use this pattern when you don't

1:00:39 know who some uh who an object belongs to.

1:00:44 Can I borrow that cup?

1:00:46 So, if you know who it belongs to, you can use your.

1:00:50 If you don't know, just say, "Can I borrow that thing?

1:00:52 Is that okay?" Use this pattern and it's nice

1:00:55 and general enough that you can use it for everything.

1:00:58 Okay, let me check the examples.

1:01:01 Um, wow, Facebook, I love that there's lots of Facebook participation today.

1:01:05 Loza wrote, "Can I borrow your car?" Great.

1:01:08 Fernando wrote, "Can I borrow your car to go to the pharmacy?" Great.

1:01:11 Lots of car borrowers.

1:01:12 Adam wrote, "Can I borrow your car?" Okay.

1:01:15 Uh, Ume wrote, "My friend borrowed money from me." Perfect.

1:01:19 Nice one.

1:01:20 Great job, Facebook.

1:01:21 Uh, let's go back to YouTube.

1:01:23 YouTube.

1:01:23 YouTube.

1:01:23 YouTube.

1:01:24 Um, I'm trying to find people I have not read examples from yet, but okay.

1:01:30 Renee, he borrowed the car from my I'm not sure who Jonah.

1:01:35 Maybe that's in a different language.

1:01:36 So, he borrowed the car from person.

1:01:38 If that's a person, great.

1:01:40 So, that's fine.

1:01:42 Um, I'm not, again, I'm not sure if that's a person's name,

1:01:46 but if it's a person's name, remove my.

1:01:48 He borrowed the car from Jonah.

1:01:50 Maybe then no my there.

1:01:52 Vanton, he borrowed a shirt from his brother

1:01:55 because he forgot to pack one on his trip.

1:01:57 Perfect.

1:01:58 Nice one.

1:02:00 Nora, can I borrow your umbrella?

1:02:02 Perfect.

1:02:03 Nice one.

1:02:04 Uh, Rene, can Jonah borrow his car to Edgar?

1:02:07 Rene, please stay for part three.

1:02:10 You need a different verb there.

1:02:11 We cannot use uh borrow in that sentence pattern.

1:02:16 So you need to reverse that.

1:02:18 Can Edgar borrow his car from or borrow the car from uh Jonah?

1:02:25 You need to reverse that.

1:02:26 So only the owner in this position.

1:02:30 The owner of the object goes here.

1:02:33 The person receiving goes here.

1:02:36 Can someone borrow the object from the owner?

1:02:40 Okay.

1:02:40 Oh my gosh, so many examples.

1:02:42 Uh, Mino, can I borrow your cooking skill?

1:02:46 We don't use borrow for concepts.

1:02:50 Really, it's quite rare to suggest that as a concept

1:02:54 or to b ask to borrow a concept.

1:02:57 We might say, can I borrow you for a moment?

1:03:01 Which means, I need your help.

1:03:02 That's a casual expression.

1:03:04 We don't use borrow for concepts.

1:03:08 So, can I borrow you uh later today?

1:03:11 I want to cook something delicious is how we could maybe express that.

1:03:16 We usually use this for physical objects.

1:03:19 Can I borrow your laptop?

1:03:21 Can I borrow some money?

1:03:23 Can I borrow your cup?

1:03:24 Yeah.

1:03:25 So, I don't recommend using this for concepts.

1:03:28 Okay.

1:03:29 All right.

1:03:30 Uh oh my gosh, time is out.

1:03:31 So, let's continue on to lend.

1:03:33 I always I like to explain.

1:03:35 What can I say?

1:03:35 Okay.

1:03:36 Um, Renee, can I borrow the car to Jonah?

1:03:39 No, you cannot say that.

1:03:40 So, borrow the car from Yeah, review this point right here, Renee.

1:03:45 Can I borrow uh Can I borrow uh I'm I'm not sure what was your sentence.

1:03:50 Can I borrow the car?

1:03:51 You need to put uh the person who owns the object.

1:03:56 Oh, sorry, sorry.

1:03:57 Uh the person who owns the object goes at the end.

1:04:00 Can I borrow Jonah's car?

1:04:02 Can I borrow Jonah's car?

1:04:04 Don't use to.

1:04:06 Can I borrow a person's name, their object?

1:04:11 Yeah, try again there.

1:04:12 You'll get it, Renee.

1:04:13 I believe in you.

1:04:14 Okay, let's go to the last part because I'm very late.

1:04:17 So, lend, let's talk about lend.

1:04:20 Lend now is the opposite here of borrow.

1:04:24 So, when we practiced borrow, we talked about the receiving side.

1:04:29 However, lend is on the giving side.

1:04:33 Okay?

1:04:34 So to lend means to give something again temporarily.

1:04:39 Remember temporarily means it's going to come back.

1:04:43 Yeah.

1:04:43 So to lend something means to give some

1:04:46 to give something and expect to receive it again.

1:04:52 Okay.

1:04:52 So let's look at the subject of the sentence pattern then here.

1:04:57 Very similar to this one but some very important differences.

1:05:02 Subject past tense lent object to person.

1:05:08 Subject lent object to person.

1:05:11 Very important point here is the preposition to to.

1:05:17 Notice we used from with borrow.

1:05:19 Right?

1:05:20 So I received from but I lend to someone.

1:05:26 It goes away from me.

1:05:29 Okay.

1:05:30 So let's look at the example sentences.

1:05:33 These are the opposite of these.

1:05:36 So I lent a sweater to my mom.

1:05:41 I lent a sweater to my mom.

1:05:42 So my subject, the owner, I am the owner.

1:05:46 The subject here is the owner.

1:05:48 I lent past tense a sweater is the object.

1:05:53 I lent a sweater to because it's going away from me.

1:05:59 And then my mom, my mom received the sweater.

1:06:03 Okay, I lent a sweater to my mom.

1:06:07 So, owner, object, receiver.

1:06:11 Okay, that's the pattern with lent.

1:06:13 Yeah, let's look at the sentence.

1:06:15 Uh, the next sentence.

1:06:16 My sister lent me a shirt.

1:06:20 My sister lent me a shirt.

1:06:23 Okay, I put a challenge in this one.

1:06:26 Do you remember in part one when I said we

1:06:28 could swap the order of the object and the person receiving?

1:06:33 We have an example here.

1:06:34 So my sister lent.

1:06:37 So here is the owner, the subject.

1:06:39 My sister is the owner.

1:06:41 Again, the verb in past tense lent, right?

1:06:45 Then we have the person receiving in this case me.

1:06:50 Me.

1:06:51 What did I receive?

1:06:52 A shirt.

1:06:53 So my sister lent me a shirt.

1:06:57 We can use this pattern we practiced in part one, right?

1:07:01 Just like uh my sister gave me a shirt, we can use it with lend also.

1:07:07 You can use this pattern of course too.

1:07:10 My sister lent a shirt to me is also okay to use.

1:07:16 All right.

1:07:17 So uh let's see.

1:07:18 I'm gonna come and check your examples really quickly.

1:07:21 Uh, Nora wrote, "I lent my cottage

1:07:25 to my cousins." I lent my cottage to my cousins.

1:07:27 Nice one.

1:07:28 Um, Renee wrote, "I lent a bag to Jonah and Hansel." Nice.

1:07:32 You got it, Renee.

1:07:33 Great.

1:07:34 Great.

1:07:34 Good one.

1:07:35 Uh, Natalie wrote, "I lent my watch to my mother." Great.

1:07:39 Uh, Inazuma wrote, "I lent some paperwork." So, paperwork is uh non-countable.

1:07:44 We we don't count uh paperwork.

1:07:47 So I lent some paperwork to my friend so

1:07:50 we can finish our group project before the dead.

1:07:52 Ah, so to lend paperwork, this is very very creative.

1:07:57 Usually we would say I gave I gave some paperwork to my friend

1:08:01 because we lend something that is valuable and that we want, right?

1:08:07 We do not lend a task.

1:08:09 Okay?

1:08:10 We don't lend tasks.

1:08:11 So lend an object, right?

1:08:14 So in this case, it sounds like a task.

1:08:16 Okay?

1:08:17 All right.

1:08:17 Let's go to the last part then.

1:08:20 Uh is the is everything okay?

1:08:22 Control desk.

1:08:22 The monitor has has died over here.

1:08:24 Okay.

1:08:24 All right.

1:08:24 Let's go to the last point then.

1:08:26 Requests.

1:08:27 Last part here.

1:08:28 Maybe the most challenging one.

1:08:30 How do you ask someone to lend something?

1:08:34 What's the difference with this and this?

1:08:36 Okay.

1:08:37 Someone I think it was Renee had this question earlier.

1:08:39 So Renee, pay attention.

1:08:41 This is for you.

1:08:42 Okay.

1:08:43 The pattern, the last pattern for today is can owner,

1:08:47 the person who owns the object, lend person, this is the receiver your object.

1:08:55 In this case, I have your object.

1:08:57 This is a very common pattern.

1:08:58 Okay.

1:08:59 So for example, can you lend me your car?

1:09:03 Many people use this example sentence.

1:09:05 Okay.

1:09:05 So our request, can you Okay, you you the owner.

1:09:11 Can you lend?

1:09:13 So no change to the verb here.

1:09:16 Can you lend me your car?

1:09:20 In this case, we have your because you are the owner.

1:09:24 Yeah, the object is car.

1:09:26 Okay.

1:09:27 So, can you lend me your car?

1:09:30 Means I want to use your car for a short time and then give it back.

1:09:35 Okay.

1:09:36 Can you lend me your car?

1:09:37 Let me see your examples.

1:09:38 Fernando wrote on Facebook.

1:09:40 Could you lend me your laptop to finish my homework?

1:09:42 Great.

1:09:43 And then I lent my laptop to my mom.

1:09:45 Love it.

1:09:45 Great job.

1:09:46 Crushing it, Fernando.

1:09:47 Awesome.

1:09:48 Back to YouTube.

1:09:49 Um, Nora wrote, "My brother lent me some money I needed." Great.

1:09:54 Patrick wrote, "I lent my sunglasses to my father.

1:09:57 He'd like to go to the beach tomorrow." Nice one.

1:09:59 Batman says, "Ma'am, repeat again.

1:10:01 Please just watch it again.

1:10:02 It's a live stream.

1:10:03 Just watch the video again." Okay.

1:10:06 Um, Vant wrote, "She lent me her cell phone so I could make calls." I love it.

1:10:12 Okay.

1:10:13 Uh, Nora wrote, "Can you lend me your cooking book?" Yeah,

1:10:16 we usually just say cookbook as one word.

1:10:19 Cookbook.

1:10:20 It's kind of a cute word, isn't it?

1:10:21 Can you lend me your cookbook?

1:10:22 Nice.

1:10:23 Enzuma wrote, "Can you lend me your bike so that I

1:10:26 can go to the supermarket to do some shopping?" Yeah, nice one.

1:10:29 Very long sentence.

1:10:30 Great job including that uh all the purpose.

1:10:33 Uh, Natalie wrote, "Can you lend me your maid?" We usually don't use it.

1:10:39 I would say we rarely use it for people.

1:10:43 Like, "Can you lend me your maid?" And like,

1:10:45 because it's a person, they can make decisions themselves.

1:10:49 You might say, "Can I have your maid's contact information?"

1:10:53 That might be a good way to say it instead.

1:10:55 Okay.

1:10:56 Renee wrote, "Can you lend me your pen to write?" Yeah.

1:10:59 Great, great, great.

1:11:01 Okay.

1:11:01 And back on Facebook.

1:11:02 Woohoo.

1:11:03 Look at all the examples.

1:11:04 Nuh-ha wrote, "Can you lend me your Watch out,

1:11:06 your pen?" Can you lend me your pen?

1:11:09 Annie wrote, "Can you lend me your phone?" Elvra wrote,

1:11:11 "Can you lend me your car?" Great job, everybody.

1:11:14 Amazing work today.

1:11:15 I love it.

1:11:16 I love it.

1:11:17 Uh XP wrote, "Can I borrow your patience?" So again,

1:11:20 we don't use really uh lend and borrow for concepts.

1:11:25 Yeah.

1:11:26 So we use these words to talk about physical objects.

1:11:30 Okay.

1:11:30 Phew.

1:11:31 But I have to finish there for today.

1:14:57 Hello everybody on YouTube.

1:14:59 Hi, uh, Luis and Natalie, Victor, Nora.

1:15:02 Hi, Elasen.

1:15:03 Hi, Oscar.

1:15:04 Aa a ragama.

1:15:06 Hello Jose, Carolina, Rodies, Kashoff.

1:15:09 Hello everybody, welcome on Facebook.

1:15:12 Adam and Dina, hi everybody.

1:15:14 Welcome.

1:15:15 Let's begin because we have a lot to talk about.

1:15:18 Don't forget to hit the like button.

1:15:20 Okay, let's go.

1:15:21 Let's begin with part one, your likes.

1:15:25 I want to begin today's lesson with a comparison here.

1:15:30 There are two grammar patterns we use

1:15:32 to talk about the things we like and dislike.

1:15:36 But that's part two.

1:15:37 Okay.

1:15:37 So we have I like to verb.

1:15:40 So here in brackets is the base form of the verb,

1:15:44 the infinitive form to plus verb.

1:15:48 We can also use the pattern I like verb in the ing form.

1:15:54 Both patterns are correct.

1:15:55 Both patterns have the same meaning and the same feel.

1:15:59 So you can choose the one you prefer.

1:16:02 There's no difference here.

1:16:03 Okay?

1:16:04 We can change like to love if you want to increase the level.

1:16:10 So I love to verb or I love verbing.

1:16:16 Okay.

1:16:16 So we can make sure that we use these uh in a lot

1:16:21 of different patterns and we're going to use them quite a lot today.

1:16:25 Okay.

1:16:26 So let's take a look at the first one.

1:16:28 I like to cook is our first example.

1:16:31 Let's break down this very simple sentence.

1:16:34 Okay.

1:16:35 So, I like right here is this part.

1:16:39 The first thing that tells us the feeling.

1:16:41 Yeah.

1:16:42 And then to cook is our infinitive verb.

1:16:46 I like to cook.

1:16:48 Easy, right?

1:16:49 We could say, I like cooking.

1:16:51 100% correct.

1:16:53 That's great.

1:16:54 Send your likes in the chat.

1:16:55 That's your first little live homework.

1:16:57 Okay, let's look at the second example.

1:17:00 I like watching movies.

1:17:02 I like watching movies.

1:17:04 So again, we have I like at the beginning of the sentence to show our feeling.

1:17:10 And here is the verb in the ing form.

1:17:14 I like watching movies.

1:17:16 We cannot say I like watch movies.

1:17:20 So we cannot combine these two.

1:17:23 We must use to plus the base verb or verb ing.

1:17:29 We cannot mix those two.

1:17:31 And yes, you can say, "I love watching movies." Or, "I love to cook

1:17:37 to make the feeling a little stronger." So, let me check your chat examples.

1:17:42 I like to study.

1:17:44 Nice one, Adam.

1:17:45 And Loza wrote, "I like playing soccer." Nice.

1:17:47 Okay.

1:17:48 Uh, on on YouTube, back from Facebook onto YouTube.

1:17:52 No wrote, I like reading ancient books.

1:17:54 Is that true?

1:17:55 Ancient books.

1:17:56 Why ancient books?

1:17:57 And you also wrote, "I like to walk under the rain." We usually say,

1:18:01 "I like to walk in the rain." That sounds natural.

1:18:05 Kash wrote, "I like to write." Good.

1:18:07 Renee wrote, "I like to watch Alicia." Excellent.

1:18:10 Thank you very much.

1:18:10 Okay.

1:18:11 Ricardo wrote, "I like to drive." To drive.

1:18:15 Make sure drive, not driver.

1:18:16 I like to drive.

1:18:17 On the right, Louis wrote, "I like to learn English with Alicia." Nice.

1:18:21 Okay.

1:18:21 Good.

1:18:22 H.

1:18:22 Kash wrote, "I love writing stories." Good.

1:18:25 No wrote, "I like running." And David wrote,

1:18:27 "I like watching your videos." Nice examples everybody.

1:18:31 Great job.

1:18:32 Let's keep going because we have a lot to talk about today.

1:18:35 Okay, let's look at the second example or the second pattern really.

1:18:41 This one is a more casual way to talk about what you like.

1:18:46 When you first meet uh a new like friend or a new colleague,

1:18:51 they might use this pattern.

1:18:53 They might use this expression.

1:18:55 I'm into noun phrase.

1:18:58 I'm into noun phrase.

1:19:01 This means I am interested in noun phrase.

1:19:05 Okay, but this is a much more like casual, more friendly way to express this.

1:19:10 Okay, I'm into noun phrase.

1:19:13 This noun phrase part is usually a hobby or a topic of study maybe.

1:19:20 Okay, for example, I'm into photography.

1:19:24 I'm into photography.

1:19:26 This means I'm interested in photography.

1:19:29 Okay.

1:19:29 Or I'm into music.

1:19:32 I'm into music.

1:19:33 Yeah.

1:19:33 Or we could say I'm into rock music or I'm into classical music.

1:19:38 We can be very specific, but you just need to use a noun phrase to express that.

1:19:44 Okay.

1:19:44 Um, let me see some examples.

1:19:47 On Facebook, I can't read your username.

1:19:49 You wrote, "I like read books." You need

1:19:51 to use the to verb or the to pattern there.

1:19:55 I like to read books.

1:19:57 I like to read books.

1:19:59 Yeah.

1:20:00 So, you could say, I like to read books or I like reading books.

1:20:04 But you do need to use only one of those patterns.

1:20:07 Yeah.

1:20:08 Only one.

1:20:09 Okay.

1:20:09 So, maybe review your sentence, Facebook person.

1:20:12 Okay.

1:20:13 Some other people wrote, uh, Lou wrote, "I'm into watch.

1:20:17 I'm into watching." So if you want to use uh if you

1:20:21 want to make a verb into a noun, you can do that.

1:20:25 That's great.

1:20:25 So if you want to use a verb in this noun phrase,

1:20:29 you need to use the verb ing pattern.

1:20:31 That makes it into a gerand verbing verbing here.

1:20:36 So Lou, I'm into watch technology content.

1:20:39 So change that.

1:20:40 I'm into watching technology content on YouTube.

1:20:43 Then it's perfect.

1:20:44 Okay.

1:20:45 The black eagle wrote, I'm into soccer.

1:20:47 Good.

1:20:47 Natalie wrote, "I'm into nightlife." Good.

1:20:49 Kash wrote, "I'm into cooking." No wrote,

1:20:52 "I'm into poetry." Renee wrote, "I'm into food." Nice one.

1:20:56 Great.

1:20:56 Great.

1:20:56 Okay, let's continue to the last part here.

1:21:01 Situations.

1:21:02 Situations.

1:21:04 So, how do we talk about a scene or a situation we like?

1:21:09 Right?

1:21:10 These patterns talk about our hobbies and our interests, right?

1:21:15 But sometimes we want to talk about a situation or an action.

1:21:21 Yeah, this is a pattern you can use to express that.

1:21:25 There are two patterns in one here actually.

1:21:27 So the first is I like how I like how

1:21:32 blah blah blah or I like the way blah blah blah.

1:21:36 Okay.

1:21:37 So let me talk or let me introduce two examples

1:21:40 and then I'll break down what's happening in the sentence.

1:21:44 First, I like the way you did your hair.

1:21:47 I like the way you did your hair.

1:21:49 So, here we have I like again at the beginning and then we have I like the way.

1:21:56 Okay, the way means the method or I like uh the style you used in this case.

1:22:02 So, the way maybe the best way to understand it is the method, right?

1:22:07 I like the method you used to do your hair.

1:22:10 So, I like the way you did your hair.

1:22:13 Notice here we have a past tense verb.

1:22:17 To do your hair means to style your hair.

1:22:21 Yeah, we use the verb do.

1:22:23 We use past tense here to talk about a past action.

1:22:28 So my hair is styled or the person's hair is finished.

1:22:32 So we use past tense did.

1:22:34 I like the way you did your hair or I like the way you did your hair today.

1:22:40 Okay, let's look at another example of this.

1:22:43 I like again I like how you explained that concept.

1:22:48 I like how you explained that concept.

1:22:51 In this sentence, we have I like followed by how and then how you explained.

1:22:59 So again, I have a past tense verb in this sentence.

1:23:03 The action is finished.

1:23:05 I like how you explained that concept.

1:23:09 That means your explanation was very good or I enjoyed your explanation.

1:23:15 It's a different way to express this.

1:23:17 Notice both of these sentences use you.

1:23:21 It's very common to follow this I like the way or I

1:23:25 like how with uh something that shows the person who did that thing.

1:23:31 I like the way you did your hair or I like the way

1:23:35 he explained that concept or I like the way she uh cooked that meal.

1:23:41 So, we often point to uh a person in this in this part of the sentence.

1:23:46 Who did that thing you liked?

1:23:48 Okay, you can try this sentence in the comments if you like.

1:23:52 Let's see what you have written.

1:23:54 Uh some people are still sending this into Fiday wrote,

1:23:57 "I'm into English classes." Perfect.

1:23:59 Good.

1:23:59 uh on Facebook.

1:24:00 I can't read your username, but you got it.

1:24:02 I like to read books.

1:24:03 Great.

1:24:04 Nice fix.

1:24:04 Good job.

1:24:05 Oh my gosh.

1:24:06 Facebook, good job.

1:24:07 YouTube is exploding, too.

1:24:09 Sorry.

1:24:10 I'm trying to pay attention to both of them.

1:24:12 Good job, everybody.

1:24:14 Uh Nora wrote, "I like how you talked to me." Good.

1:24:18 Uh Ma uh the Black Eagle wrote, "I like how you solved the math exercise." Good.

1:24:23 or we often use the word problem for math uh

1:24:27 math homework like one math question is called a math problem.

1:24:32 It's kind of unique to only mathematics.

1:24:35 So that's one small point there.

1:24:37 So the black eagle I like how you solved the math problem would be great.

1:24:41 Um Lou good one.

1:24:43 I like how the basketball sounds when I rebound it.

1:24:47 Okay so when you when you catch it or when you shoot it.

1:24:51 So to rebound, right,

1:24:52 means to catch it after uh bouncing off the backboard, right?

1:24:56 So maybe that's a very specific sound for you.

1:24:59 Either way, great.

1:25:00 Good job.

1:25:01 I like the way she ah comprehends the lecture.

1:25:05 To comprehend means to understand.

1:25:08 So that sentence means you are watching someone listen to the lecture.

1:25:13 Yeah, I like the way she comprehends the lecture.

1:25:16 It sounds like you are you enjoy watching someone listen and understand?

1:25:21 Is that what you want to say?

1:25:23 The grammar is correct, but the situation is a little bit strange.

1:25:26 Okay.

1:25:28 Uh Veilon has a question.

1:25:30 Can I would be to like to do something be used?

1:25:34 No, I do not know what you would like to say.

1:25:36 I would like to do something is okay.

1:25:40 I would like to verb.

1:25:42 Great.

1:25:42 That sounds good.

1:25:43 But we cannot mix I would like and I would be and to do all together.

1:25:49 So no is the answer to your question.

1:25:52 Okay.

1:25:52 Renee wrote I like the way ah so no don't put both.

1:25:56 Don't put both together.

1:25:58 Choose one.

1:25:59 I like uh the way you did the presentation on YouTube

1:26:03 or I like how you did the presentation on YouTube.

1:26:07 Choose one only of these.

1:26:09 Okay.

1:26:10 Um, others wrote, "I like the way you teach English." Thank you very much.

1:26:14 I appreciate that.

1:26:15 Gertudis wrote, "Oh, I like how she cooks fish.

1:26:18 Is the Oh, intentional." Great.

1:26:20 I love it.

1:26:21 Okay.

1:26:21 Um, others, others, others others on Facebook.

1:26:25 Wayne wrote, "I like my best friends." Okay, that's a different grammar pattern.

1:26:29 And Carol wrote, "I like your class.

1:26:31 It's very interesting." Okay, so different grammar patterns, but correct.

1:26:35 Phew.

1:26:36 Great job with part one.

1:26:37 Let's take a quick break and continue to part two, the opposite dislikes.

1:26:43 And we're going to practice some different grammar patterns.

1:26:45 So, quickly, if you missed it before, I will tell you now.

1:27:28 and study the best words first, check this out.

1:27:31 Okay, I'll remind you again later.

1:27:33 Okay, let's go to part two.

1:27:35 Part two is about dislikes, but I hope that you like this video.

1:27:41 Make sure to hit the like button.

1:27:42 Yeah, make sure to hit the like button if you haven't already.

1:27:45 Okay, let's take a look now.

1:27:48 Dislikes.

1:27:49 So, we can use the same patterns we practiced in part one.

1:27:54 I don't like to verb or I don't like verbing.

1:28:00 This is the same.

1:28:01 Yay.

1:28:01 As part one, we love that.

1:28:03 However, we do have a negative.

1:28:06 To make this a negative, we must include I don't I don't I do not like to verb.

1:28:15 I do not like verbing.

1:28:17 So, I don't like to cook.

1:28:20 I don't like to cook.

1:28:22 Let's break down this sentence.

1:28:24 I don't like expresses dislike.

1:28:28 I do not like to do that thing.

1:28:31 Plus our verb in the infinitive form.

1:28:34 I do not like to cook.

1:28:36 Okay.

1:28:37 Second example.

1:28:38 I don't like watching TV.

1:28:40 I don't like watching TV.

1:28:41 In this sentence, I don't like plus our verb in the ing form.

1:28:48 I don't like watching TV.

1:28:50 Okay.

1:28:51 If you want to increase the level of your feeling,

1:28:55 we can change I don't like to hate.

1:29:00 I hate to verb.

1:29:03 I hate Okay, so I hate to cook.

1:29:07 I hate to cook or I hate watching TV.

1:29:10 You can use both of those.

1:29:12 Okay, let me see your examples.

1:29:14 No wrote, I don't like to do the dishes.

1:29:16 Lou wrote, "I don't like to eat vegetables." Good.

1:29:19 And Renee wrote, "I do not like Okay.

1:29:22 I do not like to sleep in the afternoon."

1:29:25 In the afternoon is your preposition there.

1:29:27 Okay.

1:29:28 Uh Nora wrote, "I don't like reading terror books." We usually say horror books.

1:29:33 Actually, I have an example sentence.

1:29:34 That's a good example later.

1:29:36 Um okay.

1:29:38 Louis wrote, "I do not like plates dirty." Put your adjective before the noun.

1:29:43 So dirty before plates.

1:29:45 I do not like dirty plates.

1:29:47 Different grammar pattern.

1:29:48 No verb there, but we can use that sentence as well.

1:29:52 Uh Kashoff wrote, "Can we say this is aren't for me?" So no,

1:29:56 you have two B verbs there.

1:29:58 Is and aren't are both be.

1:30:00 So this is not for me.

1:30:02 Burgers aren't for me.

1:30:03 Please stay until part three.

1:30:05 I'm going to talk about some similar examples, too.

1:30:08 Santia wrote, "I hate to talk.

1:30:10 I hate to talk." I feel like I usually

1:30:14 when I use the verb hate, I'll give a tip.

1:30:16 So this one usually when I use the verb hate, I use this one.

1:30:23 I hate talking or hate shopping.

1:30:27 So we usually use that ing verb pattern.

1:30:30 You may hear some people use this to verb pattern with hate,

1:30:34 but I feel like it's a little more common to use the ing pattern here.

1:30:39 Okay, let's see some other examples.

1:30:41 Many people are writing.

1:30:42 I'm going to try to check answers from people who I have not read from yet.

1:30:47 Patrick wrote, "I don't like playing violin.

1:30:49 It's difficult." Okay, great.

1:30:50 But you can play violin.

1:30:52 That's amazing.

1:30:53 Uh Gertrudus wrote, "I hate watching uh

1:30:55 maybe vampire vampire movies." I think that's it.

1:30:58 Uh Ang wrote, "I don't like a early wake up." You want to say,

1:31:02 "I don't like waking up early." Very common one.

1:31:06 Me, too.

1:31:07 I hate waking up early.

1:31:09 I hate it.

1:31:10 I hate waking up early.

1:31:12 Maybe many of you are like that.

1:31:13 Okay.

1:31:14 Uh Loza on Facebook, you wrote, "I don't like people talkative.

1:31:18 Please stay until this section." I'm going to talk

1:31:21 about the correct way to make that sentence.

1:31:23 You are very very close.

1:31:25 Very close.

1:31:25 So please wait for this ex explanation.

1:31:28 Okay, let's continue to the next pattern though.

1:31:31 The next pattern is I'm not really into noun phrase.

1:31:36 I'm not really into noun phrase.

1:31:38 We practiced the positive form.

1:31:40 I'm into noun phrase in part one.

1:31:44 This one is the negative.

1:31:46 I'm not makes it negative.

1:31:48 And we can make it softer with really.

1:31:52 I'm not really into noun phrase is a soft

1:31:57 way to say I'm not so interested in noun phrase.

1:32:02 Let's look at the examples.

1:32:04 I'm not really into rock music.

1:32:07 So I'm not makes it negative.

1:32:09 I don't like really we can remove but it makes it softer.

1:32:14 So I'm not into rock music is more direct.

1:32:17 I'm not into rock music.

1:32:19 However, I'm not really into rock music sounds softer, less direct.

1:32:25 Okay, both are correct.

1:32:27 So we have into again right here.

1:32:30 And finally our noun phrase rock music.

1:32:33 I'm not really into rock music.

1:32:35 So, thank you for the invitation to the concert,

1:32:38 but I'm not really into rock music.

1:32:40 Sorry.

1:32:41 Okay, let's look at this second example.

1:32:44 I'm not really into museums.

1:32:46 I'm not really into museums.

1:32:48 Again, I'm not shows it is negative.

1:32:52 Really is the softening expression into shows interest.

1:32:58 And our noun phrase is museums.

1:33:01 I'm not really into museums.

1:33:03 Sorry.

1:33:04 I don't think I want to go to that exhibition with you.

1:33:07 Okay, let me see your examples.

1:33:10 Uh, on Facebook, I can't read username.

1:33:12 I don't like to drink beer.

1:33:14 Good, good example.

1:33:15 And Loza wrote, "I'm not really into the clubhouse." What's the clubhouse?

1:33:19 Okay, I don't know.

1:33:20 Maybe that's a location that you know.

1:33:22 I don't know what it is grammatically.

1:33:24 Okay.

1:33:24 Let me see on YouTube.

1:33:26 Coming back to YouTube wrote,

1:33:29 "I don't like having alone." You can say I don't like being alone.

1:33:35 I don't like being alone is the best way to express that.

1:33:40 I don't like drive.

1:33:41 So, use your to verb.

1:33:43 I don't like to drive.

1:33:45 Don't just put the verb.

1:33:46 You need to.

1:33:47 I don't like to drive.

1:33:49 Okay.

1:33:50 Others.

1:33:51 Luis wrote, "I'm not really into playing video games." Perfect.

1:33:55 Nice one.

1:33:55 Gertrudis wrote, "I'm not really into soccer." Nice.

1:33:59 Um, Kasha, could we replace really to literally uh replace this?

1:34:04 I'm not literally uh into shopping.

1:34:07 No, they mean very different things.

1:34:09 You cannot replace really and literally literally very different.

1:34:13 Very different.

1:34:14 So, do not do that.

1:34:15 Um, others on Facebook, PR wrote, "I'm not into salsa songs." Great.

1:34:21 Very specific.

1:34:22 Um, Ali wrote, "I'm not so into theater." Nice.

1:34:26 You can replace this really with so like I'm not so into theater.

1:34:31 Makes it sound a little more casual.

1:34:33 Great one.

1:34:34 Okay, let's continue because oh my gosh, time always goes away from me.

1:34:38 I love to explain.

1:34:39 Let's finish part two with people.

1:34:42 Okay, this one is going to help you practice a key grammar point.

1:34:46 Let's look at the pattern first.

1:34:49 I don't like people who.

1:34:52 I don't like people who.

1:34:54 This who is important.

1:34:56 Okay, let's take a look at the two examples and break them down.

1:35:00 I don't like people who are closminded.

1:35:03 I don't like people who are close-minded.

1:35:05 If you don't know close-minded, it means they don't think about something

1:35:10 outside their life or outside their mind.

1:35:14 Now, right?

1:35:15 So, open-minded is the opposite.

1:35:17 They understand there are many ways to live life,

1:35:20 many different interests, many different types of people.

1:35:23 Close-minded means they don't accept new things very well.

1:35:27 Okay, so let's break this down.

1:35:29 I don't like this is the same as here, right?

1:35:32 I don't like.

1:35:33 Then we have people and then who.

1:35:37 We have to have this.

1:35:38 I think uh Loza on Facebook, you wrote a similar sentence here.

1:35:42 We need to follow this with who are in this case

1:35:48 shows a condition about that person or a status.

1:35:52 In this case I have closminded.

1:35:55 So you can use this pattern to talk about a personality type.

1:36:00 I don't like people who are loud or I don't like people who are selfish.

1:36:06 I don't like people who are arrogant.

1:36:08 Yeah, you can use this pattern to talk about personality types you dislike.

1:36:14 Okay?

1:36:15 And of course, you can change this to the positive by removing don't.

1:36:20 So, I like people who are kind or I like people who are funny.

1:36:26 Right?

1:36:27 So, we can use this pattern to talk

1:36:29 about personalities that we like and dislike.

1:36:32 Let's look at the second example of this.

1:36:35 I don't like people who never think about others.

1:36:39 I don't like people who never think about others.

1:36:42 Okay, let's break this one down.

1:36:44 I don't like people who.

1:36:46 Again, we have who.

1:36:47 So, this marks kind of the quality in the person.

1:36:52 People who never think about others.

1:36:57 So, in this in this situation, we're talking about an action we dislike.

1:37:02 So this is different from this one.

1:37:05 This one expresses a personality.

1:37:07 This one expresses an action or in this case no action that we dislike.

1:37:13 I don't like people who never think about others.

1:37:15 Oops.

1:37:16 Or I don't like people who never maybe clean up their house

1:37:21 or I don't like people who never pay money back to me.

1:37:25 So we can use this to talk about actions that we dislike.

1:37:29 And again we can make it positive by removing don't.

1:37:33 So I like people who think about others or I like people who pay me back.

1:37:40 Right?

1:37:40 I like people who clean their house.

1:37:42 Yeah.

1:37:43 So we can use this pattern to talk about actions.

1:37:47 This pattern to talk about personalities.

1:37:50 Okay.

1:37:51 Examples.

1:37:52 Um let's see.

1:37:53 Some people say on Facebook they're having trouble downloading the PDF ebook.

1:37:57 They can't.

1:37:58 So, do you have an account?

1:37:59 You need your name and an email address.

1:38:01 Log in after you get that.

1:38:03 Then go back to the page.

1:38:05 I hope that that one helps you.

1:38:06 Maybe maybe our team can check the chat

1:38:09 and find some information there and contact those people.

1:38:12 I hope that helps you.

1:38:13 Okay, let me see your examples.

1:38:15 Uh, Daro wrote, "I like the way you talk to people." Ah, that's this example.

1:38:19 Nice one.

1:38:20 Pier wrote, "I don't like people who are selfish,

1:38:22 but I like ah people persons." Okay.

1:38:25 I like I like people people.

1:38:27 I don't know how we say how would we say that.

1:38:30 I know what you mean.

1:38:31 You like people who like people, right?

1:38:34 That could be good.

1:38:35 I don't like people who are selfish,

1:38:36 but I like people who are good with people is a good way to say that.

1:38:41 So, people who are good with people means that they are good conversationalists.

1:38:47 Okay, back to YouTube quickly and then we'll finish up today.

1:38:51 YouTube.

1:38:51 Oh my gosh, I think I missed some of your messages.

1:38:54 I will try to read as many as I can now.

1:38:56 Victor wrote, "I don't like people who talk screaming." Ah,

1:38:59 I don't like people who talk loudly.

1:39:02 I don't like people who talk loudly.

1:39:04 Or I don't like people who scream when they talk is another way to say that.

1:39:09 Natalie wrote, "I don't like people uh who who spit around." Maybe

1:39:13 who sit around or I don't like people who spit is okay.

1:39:16 Just spit.

1:39:17 It's gross, right?

1:39:19 Okay.

1:39:19 No wrote, "I don't like people who are always laughing." Is that true?

1:39:23 Oh my gosh.

1:39:24 I'm surprised you like my live stream every week.

1:39:26 I laugh a lot.

1:39:27 Um, so there's some kind of strange ones in here.

1:39:31 I don't know.

1:39:32 I don't like people who backbite.

1:39:34 Kashop, that might be a different translation.

1:39:36 Do you mean in English we had the expression backstab,

1:39:40 which means to betray someone.

1:39:42 So someone you you think you're good friends with someone,

1:39:45 but then they do something bad right to you.

1:39:48 we say backstab might be a translation point in maybe backbite

1:39:53 in your language but in English we say backstab I don't like

1:39:56 people who backstab um others Renee wrote I do not like people

1:40:01 who never look for maybe success you want to say to look

1:40:06 for success you need a noun there to look for success

1:40:09 maybe this is a grammar point I can cover in a future

1:40:12 live stream okay the black eagle wrote I don't like people

1:40:15 who do scams agree also do not like people who do scams.

1:40:19 Kaja, could you please differentiate really

1:40:21 from literally maybe in another lesson?

1:40:24 I think maybe I've talked they're very very different.

1:40:27 Uh I can't stop the whole live stream to do one question.

1:40:30 I will consider it for the future though.

1:40:32 Um Luis, I don't like people who never do their own homework.

1:40:37 Not make.

1:40:37 So do and make.

1:40:38 I have a video about the difference between

1:40:41 do and make because those are commonly confused.

1:40:43 You can search for that on YouTube.

1:40:45 Oh my gosh.

1:40:46 Let's continue to the last part because I'm already late.

1:40:49 I love to talk.

1:40:50 So, let's finish with some easy expressions and idioms.

1:40:55 First is fond of noun phrase.

1:40:57 Fond of is like a kind of old-fashioned way,

1:41:02 a little old-fashioned way to say I like this thing a little.

1:41:07 So, I'm fond of fruity drinks.

1:41:10 I'm fond of fruity drinks.

1:41:11 Notice Oh, that's an eraser.

1:41:13 I'm fond.

1:41:14 Sorry everybody.

1:41:15 I'm fond Oh no, I made a mistake.

1:41:18 I'm fond of fruity drinks means I like fruity drinks.

1:41:23 I like fruity drinks.

1:41:24 So use I'm fond of as a set phrase.

1:41:28 I'm fond of fruity drinks.

1:41:30 I'm fond of dogs.

1:41:31 I'm fond of the thing you like.

1:41:33 Yeah.

1:41:34 Let's look at the second one.

1:41:35 Don't mind noun phrase.

1:41:38 Don't mind noun phrase.

1:41:40 This is a way to say noun phrase is not bad.

1:41:44 Noun phrase is not bad.

1:41:45 So I don't mind washing dishes.

1:41:48 Like it's not a problem for me to wash dishes.

1:41:52 It's not bad.

1:41:53 Washing dishes is not bad.

1:41:55 I don't mind sounds like I don't hate washing dishes.

1:42:00 So again, I don't mind plus our noun phrase.

1:42:04 So washing dishes is like one activity.

1:42:06 We can understand it like this.

1:42:09 Okay, next one.

1:42:10 Noun phrase is right up my alley.

1:42:13 Noun phrase is right up my alley.

1:42:15 This means this thing seems like something I

1:42:20 enjoy or it's very similar to something I like.

1:42:24 We use this phrase a lot when we find something new that seems good for us.

1:42:31 For example, this new restaurant is right up my alley.

1:42:34 This new restaurant is right up my alley.

1:42:36 Alley means a very small city street,

1:42:40 like an old style city street that's very, very narrow.

1:42:44 So the idea is that the alley is our little interest,

1:42:49 something that's perfect for us.

1:42:51 Yeah.

1:42:52 So noun phrase is right up my alley.

1:42:54 So we talk about going up and down streets in English.

1:42:59 So right up my alley sounds like I want to go on that street.

1:43:03 I want to go on that small street.

1:43:05 That's perfect for me.

1:43:07 So, that new restaurant is right up my alley.

1:43:09 Okay, two more.

1:43:12 Subject is not my cup of tea.

1:43:14 Subject is not my cup of tea.

1:43:17 We use this as a very soft way to say I don't like that thing.

1:43:21 For example, horror movies are not my cup of tea.

1:43:25 Horror movies are not my cup of tea.

1:43:28 So, I don't like horror movies is what this means.

1:43:31 Note in this one we need to be careful of our B verb in the pattern

1:43:34 here I used is but we need to make sure this B verb matches the subject.

1:43:40 So in this case horror movies are not my cup of tea.

1:43:45 So my cup of tea sounds like my preference.

1:43:48 That's the meaning.

1:43:49 My cup of tea.

1:43:50 And lastly to each their own.

1:43:52 To each their own.

1:43:54 I want to finish here today.

1:43:55 This is a set phrase.

1:43:57 You do not need to add something to this.

1:43:59 Easy, right?

1:44:00 To each their own means everyone can like and dislike what they like.

1:44:07 So you have your likes and dislikes.

1:44:10 I have my likes and dislikes.

1:44:11 And that's okay.

1:44:13 To each their own.

1:44:14 To each their own.

1:44:15 That's a good idiom.

1:44:16 We can use this sometimes at the end of a conversation.

1:44:19 Like sometimes at the end of a gossip conversation like that person said what?

1:44:24 She did this.

1:44:25 He did that.

1:49:30 Alexandre, Natalia from Colombia, Maximo, Felipe.

1:49:33 Hello everybody.

1:49:34 If I missed you, I will come back again in just a moment.

1:49:38 Let's begin today's lesson.

1:49:40 When to use active, when to use passive.

1:49:42 Let's begin our warm-up maybe with the easy one, right?

1:49:47 Active voice.

1:49:48 When should we use active voice?

1:49:51 I wrote in red the focus guides for making your decision.

1:49:56 Okay, we use active voice when the person

1:50:00 or thing doing the action is the focus.

1:50:05 Okay, so for example, I am teaching.

1:50:08 I am the focus of the sentence, right?

1:50:11 I am the person doing the action.

1:50:14 So I am the focus of the sentence.

1:50:16 I'm the subject of the sentence.

1:50:18 Yeah, this is active voice.

1:50:21 Second point, we know who did the action.

1:50:25 So in the sentence I am teaching we know it's me right?

1:50:29 I am teaching we know the teacher we know the person acting.

1:50:33 These are the two key guidelines for choosing active voice.

1:50:38 Okay this is important because we are

1:50:40 going to change these guides in passive voice.

1:50:43 So let's begin by looking at a few examples of active voice sentences.

1:50:49 You can send your active voice sentences in the chat.

1:50:52 Go crazy.

1:50:53 You can choose any active voice grammar you want.

1:50:57 Okay, that's fine.

1:50:58 But we're going to change that sentence to passive voice in part two.

1:51:02 Okay, so let's look at some examples.

1:51:06 Let's break them down because these are all examples of active voice.

1:51:10 First one is simple.

1:51:11 He took my coffee.

1:51:13 He took my coffee.

1:51:14 In this sentence, we have he as the subject.

1:51:19 Our verb is took and the object here is my coffee.

1:51:24 So this is a past tense active voice sentence.

1:51:27 We know who did the action.

1:51:29 He the person is the focus of this sentence.

1:51:33 We have a past tense verb took and the object is my coffee.

1:51:38 This is the thing affected by the verb.

1:51:42 Okay.

1:51:42 Let's go to the second example then.

1:51:44 The second example is I made a mistake.

1:51:48 I made a mistake.

1:51:50 Oh, control S.

1:51:50 Can we maybe move the the framing just a tiny bit?

1:51:54 I made a mistake.

1:51:55 In this sentence, we have the subject I.

1:51:58 So, this is the person who did the action.

1:52:00 Thank you.

1:52:01 And then we have made here as the verb.

1:52:04 I made what happened?

1:52:07 What is the affected by the verb?

1:52:09 A mistake.

1:52:09 I made a mistake.

1:52:11 This sentence is active voice because we know who did the action and we know uh

1:52:17 the thing or doing the act the thing

1:52:19 the person or thing doing the action is the focus.

1:52:23 Yeah.

1:52:24 Okay.

1:52:24 I'm coming to the examples in the chat now.

1:52:27 Uh Renee Alicia cracked down on you need an object in that sentence.

1:52:32 Yeah.

1:52:33 Alicia cracked down on crime.

1:52:35 Whatever it is.

1:52:36 Okay.

1:52:37 You need an object for your sentence.

1:52:40 Lardig wrote, "She closed the gate." Great.

1:52:43 Very simple example on Facebook.

1:52:46 I don't see examples yet.

1:52:47 Hello uh to monk.

1:52:49 What's up?

1:52:50 Okay, keep sending your examples in the chat.

1:52:52 I will come to check.

1:52:54 Let's look at some longer examples of active voice sentences.

1:52:59 Now, the first longer example is they're going to fix the problem.

1:53:05 They're going to fix the problem.

1:53:07 Here our subject we have they are.

1:53:11 They are.

1:53:11 This is they are contracted.

1:53:13 Okay.

1:53:14 They are.

1:53:15 Here is our verb section.

1:53:18 Oh, sorry.

1:53:18 Sorry.

1:53:18 Sorry.

1:53:19 I put that bracket in a little bit the wrong spot.

1:53:21 Oh, shoot.

1:53:23 Okay.

1:53:23 Let me fix that.

1:53:24 All right.

1:53:25 So, here's our verb section.

1:53:27 They're going to fix.

1:53:29 So, all of this is our verb section.

1:53:32 They are going to fix.

1:53:34 That's a lot of information.

1:53:36 We have all of this in the verb section

1:53:39 because this is a future tense active voice sentence.

1:53:43 Okay?

1:53:44 They are going to fix.

1:53:45 So we have they are going to fix followed by the object the problem.

1:53:50 Yeah.

1:53:51 So again three parts in this active voice sentence.

1:53:54 Again subject future tense verb object.

1:53:57 Okay.

1:53:58 Perfect active tense perfect simple uh sentence.

1:54:02 Okay.

1:54:02 Next one.

1:54:03 Uh, the construction company is building a bridge.

1:54:07 The construction company is building a bridge.

1:54:11 Again, here we have a longer subject.

1:54:14 The construction company, right?

1:54:16 The person or the organization or the company doing the action,

1:54:21 the focus of the sentence.

1:54:22 Yeah.

1:54:23 Then here's our verb is building.

1:54:26 Is building.

1:54:28 We have a progressive or continuous tense verb here.

1:54:32 The construction company is building object a bridge.

1:54:36 Okay, so you can see all of these follow the same pattern, right?

1:54:40 Subject, verb, object.

1:54:42 Very simple sentences.

1:54:44 Okay, let's see some examples.

1:54:47 Uh Oscar in the chat wrote, "I did my chores." Nice one.

1:54:50 Wrote, "She made my heart broken." Ah, okay.

1:54:53 Heartbroken is usually like an adjective, but we would say she broke my heart.

1:54:58 She broke my heart.

1:55:00 Then it's perfect.

1:55:01 Uh, Patrick, I ate a delicious rice and bean.

1:55:05 Okay, rice and beans are uncountable.

1:55:07 So, we would say, I ate delicious rice and beans today.

1:55:10 Then it's perfect.

1:55:12 Uh, Renee wrote, "She will make dinner." Good.

1:55:14 Uh, let's check Facebook.

1:55:16 My car was driven.

1:55:18 Oh, by me.

1:55:18 Passive voice.

1:55:19 You're part two.

1:55:21 Now we're practicing this one.

1:55:22 Active voice.

1:55:23 So, say I drove my car.

1:55:26 Yeah, I drove my car.

1:55:28 Uh, Ally wrote, "Emily ate a taco." Singular singular taco.

1:55:32 Emily ate a taco today.

1:55:34 Great job, Emily.

1:55:35 I love that.

1:55:36 Let's look at our last example in active voice, then.

1:55:39 Uh, that guy stole my phone.

1:55:42 That guy stole my phone.

1:55:44 So, subject that guy.

1:55:47 Subject is that guy plus we have the verb stole,

1:55:52 past tense, followed by the object, my phone.

1:55:56 Oh no.

1:55:57 Okay.

1:55:57 So, as you can see, active voice can take a lot of different forms.

1:56:04 Okay.

1:56:05 I'm not sure if I'm supposed to be here here,

1:56:06 but active voice can take a lot of different forms.

1:56:10 So, when you ask like, "Oh, is this active voice?

1:56:13 Is this active voice?" The key is that the person

1:56:16 or the thing doing the action is the subject of the sentence.

1:56:20 This is very important because it's different from passive voice.

1:56:24 Okay, this is our warm-up.

1:56:25 So, let's take a super quick break.

1:56:27 I'll check the chat and then we'll go to part

1:56:29 two where we do kind of the opposite of these sentences.

1:56:33 Okay.

1:56:34 Uh, let me see what you wrote.

1:56:35 Natalie wrote, "I dropped my wallet." Perfect example sentence.

1:56:39 Uh, Lie, should we always have a subject?

1:56:41 If you want to make an ask, uh, an active voice sentence.

1:56:44 Yeah.

1:56:45 Like, if you remove this, took my coffee.

1:56:47 It's like, well, that we don't know.

1:56:49 We We need a subject in in this kind of sentence.

1:56:53 We need to know who did the action.

1:56:55 Yeah.

1:56:56 So, make sure that you have a subject.

1:56:58 If I say made a mistake, we can't do that.

1:57:01 In some languages, I know uh based on context, we can remove the subject.

1:57:07 Yeah.

1:57:07 Uh but in English to make an active voice sentence, we must have a subject.

1:57:12 Okay.

1:57:13 All right.

1:57:14 Phew.

1:57:15 Very quickly, let me remind you then about in our quick break about this banner

1:58:14 If you have not, please, please,

1:58:16 please make sure to hit the like button and share this video.

1:58:19 Yeah, it helps other people to find the lesson.

1:58:22 Let's go to passive voice now.

1:58:26 Okay, passive voice.

1:58:28 This is the one that people get confused about, right?

1:58:31 They go, when should I use passive voice?

1:58:33 It's not clear to me.

1:58:34 Why should I use passive voice?

1:58:36 So, let's talk about it.

1:58:38 Okay, we use passive voice when the person

1:58:42 or thing affected by the action is the focus.

1:58:47 Okay, the person or thing affected by the action is the focus.

1:58:52 So that means this the object of the active voice sentence this thing like

1:58:58 my coffee or a mistake these are

1:59:01 the focus points of the sentence in passive voice.

1:59:04 Okay, like let's look at the other two guides then.

1:59:08 Second, when we may not know who did the action,

1:59:13 like we don't know the person who did the action

1:59:16 or we want to hide the person who did the action.

1:59:22 You might say, why do we want to hide the person who did the action?

1:59:25 One, children like to use this grammar point when they did something wrong,

1:59:30 when they did something bad.

1:59:31 Okay?

1:59:32 or bad people.

1:59:34 When they did something bad and they want to hide

1:59:36 it or they want to try to get away from responsibility,

1:59:41 they may use the passive voice.

1:59:43 You will see passive voice in this sense in the news a lot.

1:59:48 When you see a company scandal, oh my gosh,

1:59:51 you will see a lot of passive voice sentences in company scandals in the news

1:59:57 because the leaders of the company or the person responsible in the company,

2:00:03 they want to try to get away from responsibility.

2:00:06 So, this is a very, it sounds strange,

2:00:09 but this is a very common thing to see in the news.

2:00:12 Okay, so let's take a look at our passive voice sentence examples.

2:00:17 And notice these are all the same as in part one.

2:00:22 However, we changed to passive voice.

2:00:25 We're going to practice changing to passive voice in part three.

2:00:29 So if you if you look at this and you go,

2:00:31 "What?" Please wait for part three when we talk about

2:00:34 an easy way to change active voice to passive voice.

2:00:38 Okay, some of you are already sending your examples.

2:00:41 Nice.

2:00:41 I see Natalie wrote, "The seat was taken." Nice.

2:00:43 And Michaela wrote, "My car is broken." Ah,

2:00:46 you could say like, "Uh, okay, let me come back to that.

2:00:48 Let me come back to that." So, let's look at our examples first.

2:00:51 My coffee was taken.

2:00:54 My coffee was taken.

2:00:55 This is the past or sorry, past passive voice form of he took my coffee.

2:01:01 Okay, so notice here our subject is my coffee.

2:01:06 This becomes the focus of the sentence.

2:01:09 Then we have was taken.

2:01:12 This is our verb here.

2:01:14 Notice there's no nothing after the verb, right?

2:01:17 There's no person or anything.

2:01:19 We could say my coffee was taken by someone, but we don't need to.

2:01:23 In passive voice like this, we don't need to say by someone, right?

2:01:28 The idea with passive voice is we don't know who did the action.

2:01:33 Yeah.

2:01:34 So, my coffee was taken.

2:01:37 Hate that.

2:01:37 Okay.

2:01:38 Let's look at the next example.
