2:07 So, let's go with today's lesson.

2:10 Let me check the chat quickly and then we're

2:12 going to start talking because I have a lot.

2:14 I always have a lot to cover, but today there's a lot a lot a lot to cover.

2:18 Let's see who's in the chat.

2:19 Hello uh Natalie, hi and Nazir and Nas Juan.

2:24 Patrick, what's up?

2:25 Anderson from Brazil, what's up?

2:27 Facebook is still loading.

2:28 I think I will come back to you Facebook.

2:30 Okay, let's begin.

2:31 We have so much to talk about.

2:33 I want to start with part number one for today.

2:37 Everyday office activities.

2:39 If you haven't, make sure to like the video so other people can find it.

2:42 Yep.

2:43 Okay, let's begin with the start of the day.

2:47 I imagine this as the start of the day.

2:49 In many jobs, the first phrasal verb or maybe

2:53 the first phrasal verb is to clock in.

2:57 To clock in means to begin your workday, but to register the time.

3:04 So maybe that means you have a a machine that checks the time when you

3:09 start work or maybe you have to use a computer and log in to work.

3:13 So when you start work, when you register work, we call that clocking in.

3:19 To clock in.

3:20 So you can remember this because to clock in has the opposite.

3:25 When you leave work, to clock out.

3:28 So when you clock out, you register the time you leave the office.

3:34 Okay?

3:34 So this one means to register to register your time to register your time.

3:44 So your start time and your end time to register.

3:48 Sorry that's really difficult to read.

3:50 To register your start time and your end time at the office.

3:54 Okay.

3:54 So for example, we could say clock in when you get to the office.

4:00 Clock in when you get to the office.

4:02 This is the command form here.

4:04 Clock in means register your time when you get to the office.

4:08 The opposite is clock out when you leave the office.

4:13 Clock out when you leave the office.

4:15 So clock in and clock out are the ways we start and end the workday.

4:20 Okay, let's continue to part well number two in this list.

4:24 Next is to set up.

4:27 To set up.

4:28 Notice there's a space here.

4:29 Yeah.

4:29 To set up.

4:31 Two separate words.

4:33 To set up means to prepare something, to get something ready for something else.

4:39 We can use set up in many different situations.

4:44 It's a very open meaning kind of phrasal verb.

4:47 So to set up means to prepare something.

4:52 So for example, we could say, "Let's set up workstations for the new staff."

4:59 Let's set up workstations for the new staff.

5:02 Let's set up an area for our new staff members.

5:05 Right?

5:06 We can also use it for example inside our computer environment like

5:11 ah let's set up the new software meaning let's prepare the new software.

5:15 Let's get it ready.

5:17 You could say let's set up the living room in the new house.

5:21 You can use the phrasal verb set up

5:24 to mean to prepare something or to get something ready.

5:27 Like let's set up for the party.

5:29 Also, just note there is a space here.

5:32 Set up with no space is a noun.

5:35 That is different.

5:36 Okay.

5:36 Sometimes there's a little bit of overlap.

5:38 Okay.

5:39 I see everybody saying hello.

5:41 Welcome.

5:41 Everyone saying hello.

5:43 Hello Luis.

5:43 Happy vibes.

5:44 Anthony.

5:45 Emanuel.

5:46 What's up?

5:46 Emanuel wrote, "Let's set up my room for sleep." So,

5:49 do you need to prepare your room in order to sleep?

5:53 Do you?

5:54 Maybe you do.

5:55 I don't know.

5:56 Maybe you have to, you know, set up a futon bed or something.

6:00 That could be.

6:01 But in my case, I don't really need to set up my room for sleep.

6:04 Maybe you're a little different.

6:06 Okay.

6:07 Natalie has a different phrasal verb.

6:09 Did I put that one in here?

6:10 No.

6:11 Maybe that's over here.

6:12 I don't know.

6:13 Natalie wrote, "I turn on the computer when I come to the office." Okay, good.

6:17 That's correct.

6:18 Alejandra, is this live?

6:19 Yes, we've been doing this live stream for like six, seven years, I think.

6:24 That's a long time.

6:25 Anyway, yes, [laughter] always live at this time every week.

6:28 Facebook.

6:29 Hello, Adam.

6:30 Welcome.

6:31 Okay, let's continue to the next one.

6:34 To skip out.

6:35 To skip out.

6:37 And usually we use this with the preposition on.

6:40 To skip out on something means like to pass on an activity,

6:46 to not participate in an activity,

6:49 but you are expected to participate in the activity.

6:54 So, let's look at the example sentence here.

6:56 I'm going to skip out on the afternoon meeting today.

7:00 I'm gonna skip out on the afternoon meeting today.

7:03 Here is the phrasal verb skip out with on.

7:08 So we often very often follow this uh follow this pattern

7:13 where we say skip out on noun phrase the afternoon meeting today.

7:17 Okay.

7:18 So this means to not do something

7:21 or to not participate in something but there's some expectation.

7:26 So in this case maybe usually you participate

7:30 in the afternoon meeting but today you decide I'm too busy.

7:33 I'm not going to participate in the meeting.

7:36 So, you can say, "I'm going to skip out on the afternoon meeting today." You

7:40 might also have heard the phrase uh like to skip work or to skip school.

7:44 That means to choose not to attend, to choose not to go to school.

7:50 We can also use this phrasal verb.

7:52 You could say, "I'm going to skip the afternoon meeting

7:55 today." This skip out on is a little bit more casual,

7:59 more casual way to say that.

8:02 Okay.

8:02 Um, I don't see other examples yet.

8:06 Hello everybody who is still joining and saying hello.

8:08 Let's continue to the next one.

8:10 To head out.

8:12 To head out.

8:13 To head out means to leave.

8:16 To leave a place.

8:18 We can use to head out at the office in a very casual way.

8:23 When you say, for example, it's late.

8:26 I'm going to head out.

8:27 It's late.

8:28 I'm gonna head out means it's late.

8:31 I'm going to leave the office.

8:33 You can also use this in casual settings.

8:36 You can use this in your personal life.

8:39 For example, at a party or an event.

8:41 You can say, "Okay, it's time for me to go.

8:44 I'm going to head out." And you leave.

8:46 That means the same thing.

8:47 You can use this in many different situations,

8:50 but this is a very common and casual way to say you

8:54 are going to leave the office at the end of the day.

8:57 So, you can use this in many situations.

9:00 Okay, Patrick wrote, uh, is it correct?

9:02 I'm clock in late today at my job.

9:04 So, I'm clock in.

9:06 Remember, I know you know your your grammar here, Patrick.

9:09 So, I'm is I am, right?

9:11 This is a phrasal verb.

9:13 So, could we use the grammar I'm immediately followed by verb in the base form?

9:17 We cannot, right?

9:18 Say, I clocked in late today at my job.

9:22 So to clock in, when you want to make this phrasal verb past tense,

9:27 make the this base verb past tense.

9:30 I clocked in late at my job today.

9:34 Okay.

9:35 Okay.

9:35 Um, let's continue to the last one.

9:38 To call in or to call in sick.

9:42 Usually we have this sick at the end.

9:45 To call in sick.

9:47 Often we say to call in sick for work or to call in sick for something.

9:52 Okay, here's the example.

9:54 I have to call in sick today.

9:58 So to call means to make a phone call to your office

10:03 or you can say I have to write in sick.

10:06 I suppose usually we say call in sick

10:09 like calling your boss or calling your teammates.

10:12 This means you feel sick.

10:15 Okay.

10:15 and you cannot come to work that day, you need to rest.

10:18 Or [laughter] you pretend to be sick as well.

10:22 Maybe you want to take a day off and go somewhere.

10:25 You think, I'm going to call in sick today.

10:28 I'll just say I'm not feeling well.

10:30 So to call in sick means to report to your office and say,

10:35 I can't come to work today.

10:37 I'm sick.

10:38 To call in sick.

10:39 Okay.

10:40 All right.

10:41 Um, Mauricio wrote, "When I stand in my office,

10:46 is that skip uh skip out on?" No.

10:50 Oh, you mean if you stay in your office but you go something.

10:53 So, to skip out on, maybe I'll put

10:55 this here means uh to not participate in something.

11:01 So, if you are at work, it's okay.

11:05 For example, if you are very very busy at your job

11:09 that day and there's a regular meeting and you think,

11:12 "No, today's work is really really important.

11:15 I'm going to skip out on the meeting." It's

11:18 okay if you are in the office, the same office.

11:21 The meeting is in room A and your office is room B.

11:25 That's okay.

11:26 It means you are not participating in the activity.

11:29 So to not participate in an activity.

11:34 Okay.

11:35 So, I hope that answers your question.

11:36 I hope that answers your question.

11:38 Uh, some other examples.

11:39 Mino wrote, "I want to head out on time

11:42 to take care of my lovely dogs." Nice one.

11:44 To head out on time.

11:45 Nice.

11:46 Nice combination there, Mino.

11:47 Great work.

11:48 Uh, Mark on Facebook wrote, "Okay." Okay, Mark.

11:51 Okay, let's continue.

11:52 Oh, we finished part one.

11:54 I love that.

11:55 Okay, so let's continue to a quick break

11:57 and then we'll talk about some meeting related phrasal verbs.

12:01 Okay.

12:02 So, if you missed it earlier,

12:03 I do want to remind you about this this great ebook right here.

12:47 Can you explain it?

12:48 Yes.

12:48 So you can watch the video again because this is being recorded.

12:52 To clock out means to register the time you leave work.

12:56 To register the time you leave work.

12:58 Okay.

12:59 Some other examples.

13:00 Luis wrote, "I wanted to set up the database server late

13:04 so I could skip out on the virtual daily meeting." Good.

13:08 Just one tiny change there, Le on.

13:13 So, almost always we say skip out on plus the noun phrase, then it's perfect.

13:18 Nice example.

13:19 You put two in that sentence.

13:20 Great.

13:21 Okay, let's proceed to part two.

13:24 Meetings.

13:25 So, here are some phrasal verbs that are common in meetings.

13:29 First, to write down.

13:31 To write down.

13:32 This is maybe the most common phrasal verb for a meeting.

13:36 It means to write or to take notes about a topic.

13:40 Let's look at the example.

13:42 He wrote down the details of the agreement.

13:46 He wrote down the details of the agreement.

13:49 So, we can say just write or to take notes.

13:54 Right?

13:54 So to write down the image here is

13:57 not just to write which sounds like for example

14:01 writing a book or writing a poem or writing

14:04 an article sounds like at home alone I'm

14:08 thinking and writing to write down sounds like

14:12 I listen to the information in the meeting

14:14 or in the discussion and I put that down on a piece of paper or in a computer.

14:21 It's okay to use this for a computer.

14:23 Also, to take notes on a computer, you can say,

14:26 "I'm going to write that down." It's okay.

14:28 So, writing with a pen or a computer is okay with this one.

14:32 This one sounds like taking notes.

14:35 To write down notes or to write down the information in this case,

14:39 he wrote down the details of the agreement.

14:43 So, to write down is a super common phrasal verb.

14:46 You will hear this in school.

14:48 Also, you can split this one.

14:50 uh to write uh something.

14:52 So to write something down is also okay to use.

14:57 You may hear the command form uh write that down.

15:02 Can you write that down please?

15:03 Which means that thing I just said.

15:06 Can you write that down?

15:07 So that means please take a note about that.

15:10 Okay.

15:12 Uh Juan, good question.

15:13 Is it valid in a virtual environment like taking notes from a virtual meeting?

15:17 Yes, absolutely.

15:19 You can if you join like Zoom meetings or online meetings uh

15:23 they'll you know someone will take notes your boss or your manager

15:27 might say like someone write that down like you can absolutely

15:31 it's okay to use that in a virtual meeting as well.

15:34 Thanks very much.

15:35 Um Manuel wrote I tried to write down in the comments box.

15:40 So write so write is different from a bit different from write down.

15:44 Yeah.

15:44 So to write down sounds like taking notes.

15:47 Okay.

15:48 You're listening to someone's information and then putting the information

15:52 in a document or writing the information in a document.

15:56 So in your example, Emanuel,

15:58 I tried to write in the comment box, but my phone went crazy.

16:02 I would use write in that situation.

16:05 Uh you could say, I tried to write down some notes

16:08 or I tried to write down uh your words in the comment box.

16:12 Maybe it sounds like you are

16:14 listening to information and recording the information.

16:18 That's the feeling with to write down.

16:21 Okay.

16:21 Uh Elizabeth on Facebook is right the most important of the meetings.

16:25 So I would say there are many I I can't

16:28 choose which is the most important verb in the meetings.

16:31 There are many.

16:32 So please study lots of verbs.

16:34 But this one is very common.

16:36 To record the information okay let's go to the next one.

16:40 To write up.

16:41 to write up.

16:43 You might think, you might notice to write down means to take notes.

16:47 To write up the other direction now to write up,

16:51 let's look at the example sentence first and then I'll explain.

16:54 Please write up a list of tasks.

16:58 Please write up a list of tasks.

17:00 In this sentence, we have a list.

17:02 So, a list of tasks.

17:04 We have a noun phrase after this means to create something by writing.

17:10 to create something by writing.

17:12 Okay, so this one does not sound like taking notes.

17:17 This one it's like taking the words in the air and putting them down.

17:21 This to write up is like the opposite.

17:24 We have a lot of information.

17:26 Please create something with that information.

17:29 So to create a written document to create

17:36 a written document is the feeling here.

17:39 So you might see oops sorry document.

17:43 So to write up is something your uh

17:46 manager or your coworker might ask you to do.

17:49 Hey, can you write up a a procedure for this task

17:53 or can you write up the uh the information about this client?

17:57 It means please create a written document.

18:01 And this sounds like it doesn't have to be amazing, beautiful, perfect.

18:07 It's like give us a little information.

18:10 Yeah.

18:11 It's not like a a formal proposal or a formal document,

18:15 but we need some information.

18:17 So, please write up a noun phrase, a list of tasks.

18:20 Please write up some ideas for the project.

18:23 Please write up some information about the client.

18:26 It sounds like please give us some information.

18:29 Create a document with some information.

18:32 Okay, let me see her examples.

18:34 Uh, Natalie wrote, "I write up some ideas for the project.

18:38 Do you want to use that in past tense?" That's okay.

18:41 So, maybe that's a regular activity.

18:43 Oh, you took it away.

18:44 Okay.

18:44 [laughter] All right.

18:45 Thanks for the the question, Natalie, or the example.

18:48 Let's go to the next one.

18:49 Super common.

18:50 Another super super super common one.

18:53 Please write this down today.

18:55 To check in.

18:56 To check in.

18:58 Let's look at the example.

19:00 I'd like to check in about the project.

19:04 I'd like to check in about the project.

19:06 So in this example, I have about here.

19:10 You might hear check in about.

19:14 You might hear check in with as well.

19:18 So you can use check in to mean I'd like to ask for a status update.

19:24 I'd like to ask.

19:26 So to ask for a status update or to receive a status update.

19:31 When you use about, you follow it with the topic.

19:35 I'd like to check in about the project.

19:37 This means, please tell me the latest information,

19:41 the newest information about the project.

19:44 We can also use it with with I'd like to check in with you.

19:53 In this example, we have with.

19:56 When we use with along with check in, it

20:00 means we want to have the update with a person.

20:06 Notice we use a person.

20:07 So check in with you, check in with the manager, check in with him or her.

20:12 So these are the two maybe most common patterns

20:16 uh to check in to use with check in.

20:19 It means to receive a status update or to get a status update.

20:24 So, you might say, "Can I check in with you about the agreement?

20:28 I haven't heard from you in a while." It means,

20:30 "What's the status?" That's a nice way to ask about the status.

20:34 Okay.

20:35 All right.

20:36 Abilash wrote, "Check in with me." Yes.

20:38 So, you might receive a email, an email from your boss that says, "Hey,

20:43 can you please check in with me today?"

20:45 It means I want some status updates from you.

20:48 Okay.

20:49 All right.

20:50 Luis wrote, "My colleague didn't check in to set up the database server,

20:54 so I have to write up all the specifications also." Nice one.

20:57 You're putting many in one sentence.

20:59 Very nice.

21:00 I see you.

21:00 I see you.

21:01 [laughter] Okay.

21:02 Um, Juan, great point.

21:05 Yes, it is different from checkin at the airport and checkin at the hotel.

21:10 Great point.

21:11 Yes, this check-in means receive a status update.

21:15 When you go to the airport or hotel or maybe a different appointment to check

21:20 in means to present your documents or to be to arrive for a reservation, right?

21:27 So, this one is different in a work situation.

21:30 It means to get a status update.

21:32 This one's a really good one.

21:34 Okay.

21:34 On Facebook, Gas wrote,

21:36 "I will check with ah the supervisor about the next task." Okay.

21:40 So to check with to check with is a little

21:44 different from checkin with maybe you want to say

21:47 check in with that would be perfect I will

21:51 check in with the supervisor about the next task

21:54 that would be great and la yeah it's like check on ah check on is a little is

22:00 a little similar it's like saying I'm going to confirm

22:03 that let me confirm that let me check on that.

22:07 Yeah, it means I will go and get the information.

22:10 So, these are very similar.

22:12 Great points, everybody.

22:13 I love that.

22:14 Okay.

22:14 Uh Nevian wrote, "It's similar to check-in uh

22:17 to have a check-in meeting with the team." Yes, exactly.

22:21 Great.

22:21 You guys are so Oh, great.

22:22 Great connections, everybody.

22:24 I love it.

22:24 But I have only a few minutes left, so [laughter] let me continue.

22:28 Thanks, control desk.

22:29 I love to explain.

22:30 Uh okay, let's look at the next one.

22:32 to talk up.

22:34 I wanted to include a couple dramatic phrasal verbs

22:38 here so you can understand some of the office dynamics,

22:42 office politics a little bit.

22:44 This one to talk up.

22:46 Let's look at the example sentence.

22:48 My manager talked you up at the meeting.

22:52 My manager talked you up at the meeting.

22:54 Here I have split it.

22:55 Talked you up.

22:56 Notice it's here past tense.

22:59 So, we can split this one.

23:01 To talk up someone or to talk someone up.

23:06 To talk someone up means to talk about someone

23:10 in a very positive way to make this person sound great.

23:15 For example, if I want to talk about my coworker and I say,

23:19 "Oh my gosh, my coworker does such a good job.

23:22 They work so hard.

23:24 They are so good at what they do.

23:26 I think they're, you know, such a great teammate.

23:28 I'm I talk them up.

23:31 That's right.

23:32 Control desk.

23:32 My control desk person.

23:34 All the control desk staff.

23:35 Really, really great team members.

23:37 We love them.

23:38 Right?

23:38 You guys don't see them, but they're great team members.

23:40 So, we could say, "I my Alicia talked you up

23:44 in the live stream." That means she made you sound really, really good.

23:48 Yeah.

23:49 So, to talk someone up is usually a very good thing.

23:52 Yeah.

23:52 To make someone sound great.

23:55 Then you can maybe see what this one means.

23:58 To talk down.

24:00 And we have a couple prepositions to look at here.

24:03 To talk down to and to talk down about someone.

24:11 Okay.

24:11 So, let's take a look at these two kind of different but related meanings.

24:16 Don't talk down to someone means don't try

24:23 to talk to someone like they are below you.

24:27 So for example, maybe you've met a manager or even a teacher where

24:32 they talk and you listen only like it sounds like they're above you,

24:37 they're better than you, you are lower.

24:40 It doesn't feel good, right?

24:41 So we describe that as talking down to someone.

24:47 To talk down to someone means to talk

24:50 to someone in a disrespectful way, not respectful.

24:55 To talk down to someone.

24:56 Okay.

24:57 So to talk down about someone means the opposite of to talk up someone.

25:03 So to talk down about someone means to talk

25:06 about someone and say that person is bad.

25:09 It's a very negative thing to do.

25:11 If you hear someone saying, "Oh, that person on our team, they're lazy.

25:17 They can't do anything right.

25:18 They always make mistakes." We could say, "Oh,

25:22 she talked down about that person in the meeting." Okay.

25:25 So, there are two different ways we can use to talk down.

25:29 So, to means the way of speaking.

25:33 To talk down about someone means to describe bad characteristics of someone.

25:39 So this one's two for one.

25:41 Okay, let me quickly check the chat and then oh my gosh, we have to finish.

25:45 Um, Carvansky wrote, "I write down notes." Ah,

25:49 so I write down notes maybe as you teach us.

25:52 As you teach us would be great.

25:54 Or I wrote down notes during your lesson.

25:57 So we can make that a little more natural.

25:59 You got the idea of write down.

26:01 Good job.

26:02 Um hello to everyone still joining.

26:05 Um Patrick is talk down kind of gossip.

26:08 Talk to when you talk down about someone.

26:11 Yes, it can be gossip.

26:13 It's usually not very productive, not helpful to talk down about somebody.

26:19 Maybe you need to explain to someone that there's

26:23 a person was very rude or maybe dangerous.

26:26 Um but often it is about gossip.

26:29 Okay, let's see.

26:30 Facebook Mangali wrote,

26:31 "Can we say don't talk your employees down?" Oh, good question.

26:35 Don't talk your employees down.

26:36 I would say usually we don't split this one.

26:40 Like we do split talk up like to talk someone up.

26:44 To talk your employees down, I feel we usually do not split this one.

26:49 Usually it follows this pattern.

26:50 Don't talk down to your employees or don't talk down about your employees.

26:56 Okay.

26:57 Um others.

27:00 Okay.

27:00 Let me if I missed your comment, I'm very sorry.

27:02 Let's go to the next one.

27:03 I tried to get as many as I could.

27:05 Let's finish quickly with some computer task vocabulary.

27:08 Oh my gosh, I'm so late.

27:10 First is to send over.

27:12 Please send over the photos.

27:14 To send over just means send.

27:17 That's all it means.

27:18 Send.

27:18 It just is a casual way to say send.

27:21 Please send over the photos.

27:24 Please send over the files.

27:25 Please send over the ebook.

27:27 Yeah, it means please email it to me or please mail it to me.

27:31 Send over is a casual way to say send.

27:34 That's easy, right?

27:35 We love it.

27:36 Very common though.

27:38 The next one to look into.

27:40 To look into sounds like research, but light research.

27:46 Here's the example.

27:48 I'm looking into some equipment upgrades.

27:51 I'm looking into some equipment upgrades means I'm

27:54 searching for information about something to look into.

27:58 So if you say I'm researching equipment upgrades,

28:00 it sounds like formal kind of high level very intense

28:04 but I'm looking into sounds like I'm just checking information.

28:09 I'm getting some information.

28:11 I'm writing down some information.

28:13 Yeah, it's like light research.

28:15 Very useful though.

28:16 Let's look at this one.

28:18 two for one a pair to fill in and to fill

28:22 out means to write the information in a form.

28:25 For example, please fill out the application form.

28:29 Please fill out the application form means

28:31 please write your information in the application form.

28:34 I'll say in I've noticed in American English we

28:38 which I speak we tend to use fill out more.

28:41 I've noticed in uh British English, maybe Australian also,

28:45 I see fill in a lot of the time too.

28:48 Please fill in and fill out.

28:49 They mean the same thing.

28:51 Write your information in it.

28:53 Okay, next one.

28:55 To plug in.

28:56 This one is [laughter] very important.

28:58 To plug in means to connect the power to a machine.

29:02 Machine on this side and the wall.

29:04 To connect the power means to plug in those two things.

29:08 So this is the power cord.

29:10 This is the wall to plug in.

29:12 Yeah.

29:12 So, this one is very important, I know,

29:15 to making sure your computer, your printer,

29:18 your phone, everything is working correctly.

29:21 I forgot to plug in my computer.

29:24 It happens sometimes, right?

29:25 So, to plug in, this one's an important one.

29:29 Um, get us, good one.

29:31 To fill in can mean to replace or cover for someone.

29:34 Yes, we can also use fill in to mean replace someone.

29:38 Hi, I'm filling in for my coworker today.

29:41 Or, hey everybody, I'm filling in for soand so today.

29:45 Yes, to fill in can mean to replace someone else.

29:48 Okay.

29:49 And let me look at the next one lastly and then I'll check the chat real quick.

29:53 Sorry to go quickly with this last group.

29:55 To pull up to pull up.

29:57 Let's look at the example.

29:59 Can you pull up the latest version of the document?

30:03 Can you pull up the latest version of the document?

30:06 In a computer situation, this means like in a meeting,

30:10 please open the file on your screen so we can look at it together.

30:16 Okay, so this one has a lot of information.

30:19 Please open the file like we want to look at the file.

30:22 Can you pull up the document?

30:24 Can you pull up the graphic design?

30:26 Can you pull up the proposal?

30:27 Means can you please open that file because we want to look at it together.

30:32 So to pull up has a different meaning than say for example

30:36 cars when you pull up next to someone at a stoplight.

30:40 Very different meaning.

30:41 To pull up a document means to open a document on your computer.

30:46 Very common one.

30:47 Okay, we got through all of it.

30:48 Let me check the chat really quickly and then we'll finish.

30:51 Oh my gosh.

30:52 Um Erase Higera on YouTube wrote,

30:56 "Is it correct to say someone pulled me into a meeting?" Yes.

31:00 Use past tense.

31:01 Someone pulled uh add ed there.

31:04 Someone pulled me into a meeting.

31:05 That means I was not in the meeting.

31:07 Someone requested me and said please join the meeting and I went.

31:11 So you can say pulled me into a meeting.

31:14 Um the black eagle.

31:17 My coworker forgot to plug in the photocopier.

31:19 Great one.

31:21 Others.

31:21 Um let's see.

31:23 I'm trying to see people I have not seen yet.

31:26 Um get us pull up aside on Facebook.

31:28 I'm not quite sure what you mean.

31:30 Maybe pull up a slide.

31:32 I'm not sure what you mean by pull up a side.

31:34 If you have a different sentence, maybe that would help.

31:37 Uh, Emanuel wrote, "I plugged in my phone.

31:40 It was on low battery or it had a low battery." Good.

31:43 Okay.

31:44 That's all I see right now.

31:46 Let's finish there because time is running out.

31:49 I will make a QR code if you want to get the notes from today.

31:53 I think it's this button, share by QR code.

31:55 I will make it an image.

31:57 Oh, there's a blank one there.

31:58 We don't need that image.

32:00 Now, if I create this up, it's creating.

32:04 So, get your phone ready if you want to take a picture of today's uh stream.

32:08 There you go.

32:09 All right.

32:10 There is today's lesson notes.

32:11 If you want to make a copy of them for your records, you can check it out later.

32:15 Oh my gosh, how do I exit this?

32:17 There we go.

32:17 Okay, great.

32:18 So, that's all that I have time for today.

32:21 I hope that you found uh some good phrasal verbs you can use right away.

32:25 I know phrasal verbs are difficult, but it's one thing that's best to practice.

32:29 I also recommend reading.

32:31 Do a lot of reading to make sure

32:33 you understand natural ways to use phrasal verbs.

32:36 So, that's all for today.

32:37 For this week, I'll be back next week.

32:40 Oh my gosh.

32:40 Next week's lesson topic.

32:42 Where did you go?

32:43 Next week, I'll be back.

32:44 Ah, yes.

32:45 Oh, next week is going to be really fun.

32:46 I planned a lesson for how to talk about appearance and style.

32:51 And we're gonna use some slang.

32:53 I'm also going to try to uh talk about some recent uh vocabulary words

32:57 from the last year or so that we use to talk about our appearance.

33:01 So, hairstyle, fashion, and so on.

33:04 How do we say, "Oh, he looks good or she looks

33:06 good." And how do we understand modern or more recent slang words?

33:10 So, that will be really, really fun.

33:12 So, please join me for that next week, 1000 p.m.

35:25 So, check out the PDFs from the link below the video or above the video.

35:29 We'll show you a screen that you can see

35:31 all of the details from in just a minute.

35:34 So, I'll remind you again later, but make sure to check that out.

35:37 Okay, let's get into today's lesson then.

35:40 Hello everybody joining.

35:42 Hello Kishor and Victor and Bruno on the YouTube chat.

35:45 Hi.

35:46 And on Facebook, hello.

35:47 I cannot read your name.

35:48 It is written in a language I can't understand, but welcome.

35:51 Okay, as you join, send a message and we'll

35:54 get to your messages as they come in.

35:56 Let's begin though because I always talk too long.

35:59 So, let's start with today's first topic.

36:02 The warm-up for today when talking about your personal

36:05 style is answering the question, what is your style?

36:09 How would you explain your style?

36:12 I have two sample sentences you can use

36:15 and some sample vocabulary words to help you get started.

36:19 So this is the first pattern I want to practice.

36:23 My style is usually blank.

36:25 My style is usually blank.

36:27 For example, my style is usually casual.

36:31 My style is usually casual.

36:33 So in this blank here, we want to use an adjective.

36:38 Right here will be an adjective.

36:39 I have some examples here in green.

36:42 Okay.

36:42 My style is usually casual.

36:45 So casual.

36:46 Today I'm kind of casual, semi-casual, maybe business casual.

36:51 So today I want to help you understand,

36:54 we can put together adjectives to help us make more detail about our style.

36:59 So casual, we might also say business casual

37:03 to talk about casual with a little feeling of business.

37:07 Or maybe my style is usually very corporate.

37:12 My style is usually very corporate.

37:15 corporate.

37:16 Maybe you know the word corporation.

37:19 Corporate sounds like a big business.

37:22 So, think about people who wear suits,

37:25 like a nice suit to the office or who wear

37:28 a nice uh a very very nice maybe expensive clothing

37:32 to the office that's perfectly made just for their body like

37:36 a a neck tie or a nice skirt and high heels.

37:40 So a corporate style is something that you might see in like TV shows a lot

37:45 like when you watch TV shows about banks

37:48 and lawyers that kind of thing is corporate style.

37:52 Okay.

37:52 So we can think about casual and corporate

37:56 as like opposite sides of the spectrum.

37:58 Yeah.

37:58 So you can put in the chat what your style is.

38:02 You think I'll give you some more examples and then we'll go to pattern two.

38:06 Down at the bottom here,

38:08 I have a few key example words you can use to talk about your style.

38:13 And of course, there are other words, too.

38:15 So, we talked about casual, of course, and we talked about corporate as well,

38:20 but some other things we can use to talk about our style.

38:24 I've got this one, vintage inspired.

38:27 Vintage inspired.

38:29 Vintage means something that is old, something from before your time.

38:35 So if you were born in let's say like I don't know

38:38 2000 you might think of a different time as me for vintage.

38:43 I was born much before 2000.

38:45 So you might think of something vintage as maybe from 1990 which is crazy to me.

38:52 But I might think of something vintage as from the 60s or the 70s.

38:56 And someone who was born in the 60s

38:58 or 70s might think of something much earlier as vintage.

39:01 Okay.

39:02 So something that is vintage is something that feels old to us.

39:06 Okay.

39:07 Then I've included this part here.

39:10 Vintage inspired.

39:12 Vintage inspired.

39:14 This is something you can add to the end of these adjectives to mean

39:20 it feels a little like that or you have some influence from this.

39:25 So something that is vintage means just old.

39:29 But something vintage inspired means you took some inspiration.

39:34 You took some ideas from old things and made them yours.

39:38 Yeah.

39:39 So inspired is a really popular way to describe something that's a little

39:44 old and something that has a little bit of new things in it.

39:47 So blah blah blah inspired.

39:49 Okay, let's look at the next category or the next uh column.

39:53 Next is Gothic.

39:54 I put Gothic in here.

39:56 So Gothic is usually the idea of Gothic is people dress all in black.

40:02 All in black.

40:03 Maybe they have a chain.

40:05 Maybe they have big metal spikes or something.

40:08 And maybe their face makeup is very very

40:10 white with like black eyes and black lips.

40:14 Maybe that's a very maybe intense kind of Gothic style.

40:17 But Gothic, I know there are many different levels to Gothic.

40:21 The feeling with a gothic style is it's darker.

40:25 Usually lots of dark colors like dark purples, maybe dark blue and black.

40:30 And usually the mood is is very dark also of that style.

40:35 But I've seen for example makeup styles

40:37 that are very like soft and feminine but dark.

40:41 So you might have a gothic style.

40:43 Okay.

40:44 Next one is street wear.

40:46 Street wear.

40:47 So I've I want to talk about this one.

40:49 We have street wear.

40:51 Street wear means the type of clothes.

40:53 Yeah.

40:54 But you might say uh more street style.

40:57 You might describe your style as street style or that you like street wear.

41:03 Yeah.

41:04 So if you like to wear kind of those cool

41:07 like underground for example like skate or uh

41:12 snowboard or um kind of like like underground

41:17 fashion brands that have like t-shirts and baggy clothes.

41:21 You might describe your style as street style.

41:25 Yeah.

41:25 So this is kind of a common way to express that just street style.

41:30 Or you can say I like street wear.

41:33 All right.

41:34 Last one here.

41:35 Of course there are more is sophisticated.

41:37 Sophisticated.

41:38 So a sophisticated style sounds like you know and understand fashion trends.

41:45 You pay attention to magazines.

41:47 You want to understand the different looks that are popular at that time

41:52 and you make sure to choose clothes that fit your body very nicely.

41:57 So men and women can be sophisticated.

42:00 Also sophisticated does not mean expensive.

42:03 It means you look very nice and put together.

42:07 Everything goes together nicely.

42:10 Yeah.

42:11 Regal and feathered.

42:12 I love that.

42:12 Nice control desk.

42:13 Okay.

42:14 So these are a few words you can use to describe your style.

42:17 So we'll go back up here.

42:19 My style is usually casual like maybe on your days off, right?

42:23 So how do we express that we have

42:26 different styles for different days of the week?

42:29 Yeah, we can say at work or school my style

42:33 is blank but on my days off it's blank.

42:38 Okay.

42:39 So this can help you to express the two sides maybe of your personal style.

42:44 Yeah.

42:45 So at work or school my style is let's say my style is corporate again.

42:51 So at work my style is corporate.

42:54 All right.

42:55 But on my days off it's let's say vintage inspired, right?

43:01 It's vintage inspired.

43:03 So, we can use a pattern like this to express

43:07 different feelings and different personal styles on different days.

43:10 Okay.

43:11 Uh, all right.

43:11 I'm coming to check the chat.

43:13 Hello everybody who's joining.

43:14 Stalin just wrote, "I dress with style." Okay.

43:17 That's kind of vague, right?

43:18 We don't understand your style.

43:21 If you say, "I have good style." It's like, what does that mean?

43:24 We don't know your style, right?

43:26 We know you think it looks nice, which is great.

43:29 Love the confidence, but how do you explain your style to someone else?

43:35 Right.

43:35 What key words can you use?

43:37 Okay.

43:38 Okay.

43:38 Um, good.

43:39 Some examples are coming in.

43:40 Bruno wrote, "At work, my style is usually casual." Nice.

43:43 So, you have a casual office.

43:45 That's great.

43:46 Patrick wrote, "In my day on my days off, yeah, on my days off,

43:50 I usually uh I usually have rock and roll style with t-shirt,

43:55 rock band, and jeans during at work.

43:57 I score.

43:57 Okay, try this pattern, Patrick.

43:59 You're very close.

44:00 So, you want your prepositions.

44:02 On my days off, I usually uh have a rock

44:06 and roll style uh with a rock band t-shirt.

44:11 So, put the rock band before the t-shirt.

44:13 Yeah, put the adjective, the thing describing the noun first.

44:17 And jean.

44:17 So, during at work.

44:19 So, get rid of during, right?

44:20 Just use either at work or during work, right?

44:24 And I have a corporate style.

44:26 Yeah.

44:26 So, if you want to use that kind of uh sentence pattern,

44:29 I have a corporate style.

44:31 Okay, let's see what else.

44:33 Bruno wrote, "Oh, on my days off, it's street wear." Nice one.

44:36 Okay, Carlos wrote, "My style is grungy most of the time." Okay, grunge.

44:40 So, grunge is kind of like a imagine like nirvana, maybe nirvana,

44:44 like you know, kind of the late 80s, early 90s rock band style.

44:49 That's the image of grunge style.

44:52 So, it's not quite street wear.

44:54 It's kind of It's more like relaxed and kind

44:56 of a little angry maybe is the image of grunge style.

45:00 Okay.

45:01 All right.

46:05 Okay, let's go to part two.

46:07 In part two, we're going to talk I've chosen what?

46:10 four, yes, four key verbs that I think are really important

46:14 to know for uh appearance and style and not only uh clothing.

46:21 Yeah, we use these to talk about like

46:25 well everyday situations in your house, in the office.

46:29 Okay, so let's take a look at these four key

46:32 words because you might find especially with this last one,

46:35 a word that has a meaning totally new to you.

46:38 Okay.

46:39 So, let's begin.

46:40 First one, to look good.

46:43 To look good.

46:44 This means the appearance is nice.

46:47 All right.

46:48 This is a very important one to know because

46:50 you should know how to give a nice compliment.

46:53 So, let's take a look at how we use this.

46:56 First, you look so good in that dress.

46:59 You look so good in that dress.

47:01 All right.

47:02 So, you is our subject.

47:03 Yeah.

47:04 You and look.

47:07 Plus here I have so we can remove that if we want to.

47:10 You look good in that dress.

47:14 You look good in that dress.

47:16 Let's take a couple notes here.

47:17 Our preposition is in.

47:19 You look good in that dress.

47:22 We do not use the preposition on for this or at.

47:26 Right.

47:26 We must use the preposition in for our clothing.

47:29 Yeah.

47:30 Like you look good in that shirt or you look good in those glasses.

47:34 You look good in that suit.

47:36 Use in for the clothing someone is

47:39 wearing because that person is inside the clothing.

47:43 Right?

47:43 Maybe that helps you.

47:44 Okay.

47:45 Second, you look good, right?

47:47 So, we have subject and look.

47:50 This verb must match the subject.

47:52 You look good, right?

47:53 You look good.

47:54 We can finish there.

47:55 Wow, you look good.

47:57 Great.

47:57 Perfect sentence.

47:59 If you don't want to worry about the preposition, you look good.

48:02 He looks good.

48:03 Okay, you can add this for the clothing if you want to make it specific.

48:08 Okay, so this is fine.

48:10 Now, however, let's swap the sentence around.

48:14 I'll show you what I mean.

48:15 That dress looks so good on you.

48:18 That dress looks so good on you.

48:21 Same verb, right?

48:22 We have look good.

48:24 So, our subject is that dress.

48:27 It right.

48:28 That dress looks looks.

48:31 All right.

48:32 Don't forget this S.

48:33 Don't forget this S.

48:34 That dress looks because our subject is it.

48:38 Right.

48:38 That dress.

48:39 It looks right.

48:41 You look.

48:42 It looks right.

48:43 This S is such a common mistake among learners.

48:48 Don't be one of them.

48:48 You can do it.

48:49 You can remember.

48:50 Just practice it out loud.

48:52 That dress, that shirt looks so good.

48:54 That dress looks so good.

48:55 He looks so good.

48:56 She looks so good.

48:58 This s so many learners forget it.

49:01 So please practice it starting now.

49:03 Start practicing it out loud.

49:05 Okay.

49:06 So we have so again we can remove so and again we have good.

49:10 Now though look at the end on you.

49:14 On you.

49:15 Okay.

49:15 So these two sentences mean the same thing.

49:18 Right?

49:19 You look so good in that dress and that dress looks so good on you.

49:23 They're just the opposite.

49:25 Right?

49:25 However, notice the focus is different.

49:29 The subject of the first sentence is you.

49:32 That means you are the focus.

49:35 Yeah.

49:35 In the second sentence, the subject is the dress.

49:39 That dress, right?

49:40 So, when you want to focus on the person, use the first pattern.

49:45 When you want to focus on the clothing, use the second pattern.

49:49 Also, notice the preposition change.

49:53 Tada.

49:54 That dress looks so good on you.

49:57 Remember how I said we use in for the person inside the clothes?

50:04 Now, because the subject is the dress,

50:08 we use the preposition on before you because now

50:13 our subject is on top of right the person.

50:18 Yeah.

50:18 So, that dress looks so good on you or that suit looks so good on you.

50:23 Those glasses look so good on you.

50:26 Yeah.

50:26 So, when you want to focus on the the clothing or the accessory,

50:31 use on when you want to focus on the person,

50:34 it looks uh you look so good in that.

50:38 Okay.

50:38 Two small points, yes, but very important ones.

50:41 Yeah.

50:42 So, try to be accurate.

50:43 Let's see what the chat says.

50:45 Uh the Black Eagle wrote, "My mom looks so good in that outfit." Great.

50:49 Good one, Bruno.

50:51 You look so good in that shoes.

50:53 Close.

50:54 You look so good in those shoes.

50:57 So, in this sentence, I have a singular noun in that dress.

51:02 If you want to use a plural like shoes, make sure you have a plural here, too.

51:09 You look so good in those shoes.

51:11 You look so good in those glasses.

51:14 Yeah.

51:14 When you have a plural here at the end,

51:16 you need to make sure this part also matches.

51:19 Same here.

51:20 Those shoes look so good on you.

51:24 So, keep in mind singular and plural.

51:26 Okay.

51:27 Yes, control desk has another point.

51:29 Or that pair of shoes, you could say if you want to keep it singular.

51:34 Okay.

51:34 What else do we have?

51:35 I don't see anything on Facebook.

51:37 What's going on, Facebook?

51:38 Somebody is just writing a random Are you a bot on Facebook?

51:41 [laughter] Somebody writing weird weird names in the Facebook chat today?

51:45 I don't know.

51:46 Uh Rafikica wrote, "My style is casual, Alicia." Great.

51:49 Okay, I see you.

51:50 Awesome.

51:51 Casual.

51:51 Let's go to the next one.

51:52 That was a long explanation, but very important.

51:56 The next key verb here is to suit.

51:59 To suit.

52:00 All right, this one is super useful.

52:02 To suit means to be appropriate.

52:05 To be appropriate.

52:06 Let's look at the examples and then we'll break it down.

52:10 That hair color suits you.

52:12 That hair color suits you.

52:14 This means that hair color looks nice on you.

52:17 or that hair color looks so good on you.

52:21 So what happened here?

52:22 That hair color is our subject here.

52:24 That hair color suits you.

52:29 All right.

52:29 So that means the subject is appropriate or is a nice choice for you.

52:36 Easy, right?

52:37 That hair color suits you.

52:38 Oh, that dress suits you.

52:40 That suits you.

52:42 So we could use it with a suit, right?

52:45 Oh, that is That haircut suits you means it is appropriate.

52:50 It looks nice on you.

52:51 This is another way to give a compliment.

52:54 However, we can use this in the negative form.

52:57 For example, gothic styles don't suit you.

53:01 Gothic styles don't suit you.

53:04 So, here we have the subject gothic styles.

53:07 Remember we talked about Gothic in part one.

53:10 All black usually.

53:12 So, gothic styles don't suit you.

53:16 That means it does not look nice on you.

53:19 Like it does not match your style.

53:22 Okay?

53:23 So that doesn't so or don't in this case suit you.

53:29 Okay?

53:29 Gothic styles don't suit you.

53:32 Or you could say about yourself, gothic styles don't suit me, right?

53:36 Gothic styles don't suit him or her.

53:39 So use you, me, uh him, her, right?

53:42 To express personal style there.

53:45 All right.

53:46 Um, let me check your examples.

53:49 Marian on Facebook wrote, "Those glasses suit you." Perfect.

53:52 Nice one, Marian.

53:53 I hope I said your name correctly.

53:55 Uh, oh my gosh, how does time always go so quickly?

53:59 Thank you, control desk.

54:00 Victor, when you wear black and sandals, you look so good.

54:03 Nice example sentence.

54:05 Uh, Renee wrote, "The makeup looks so good on you." Nice example, Renee.

54:08 I love that.

54:09 Let's continue because I'm already running out of time.

54:12 The next one is to match.

54:14 to match.

54:15 Okay, we're going to look at to match and to go

54:19 kind of as a set because these are important to understand.

54:22 To match first, to match means to be exactly the same.

54:28 Two things usually that are exactly the same.

54:32 Okay, so these socks don't match.

54:37 These socks don't match.

54:38 That means this sock and this sock are different, right?

54:42 Usually we want our socks to match.

54:46 Yes, two of the same sock.

54:47 Maybe you have a different style than me.

54:50 Usually we want our socks to match.

54:52 These socks don't match means these socks are not exactly the same.

55:00 Okay, so don't match.

55:02 I have the negative in red here.

55:05 Let's compare to a positive.

55:08 My shirt matches my pants.

55:10 My shirt matches my pants.

55:12 My shirt here is my subject.

55:15 Matches is my verb.

55:17 My pants.

55:18 Okay, that means these two are the same.

55:21 So when I say the same, I mean they have the same pattern,

55:26 the same color, the same look, the same feel.

55:29 It's like one set, right?

55:31 Pants and shirt are the same set, right?

55:33 My shirt matches my pants.

55:36 Now match means to be exactly the same.

55:40 You may hear and you will hear the verb go also

55:46 used to talk about this kind of matching sort of feeling.

55:50 So to go, this is probably a new use of the verb go for many of you.

55:57 To go means to appear nicely together.

56:02 To appear nicely together.

56:04 Let's look at how we use go like this in a sentence.

56:07 This does not mean go somewhere.

56:09 Okay, this does not mean go somewhere.

56:12 Okay, let's look.

56:14 Those shoes go perfectly with your suit.

56:19 Those shoes go perfectly with your suit.

56:22 Here's our subject.

56:23 Those shoes.

56:24 Yeah.

56:25 Go.

56:26 In this case, I included perfectly.

56:29 That means it's perfect.

56:30 Looks so good.

56:32 100% perfect.

56:33 perfectly with is our preposition and then we have your suit.

56:39 Okay, so what are we talking about together?

56:42 We have those shoes and your suit, right?

56:45 So the shoes and the suit go perfectly.

56:50 That means they look nice together.

56:54 They look nice together.

56:55 Go does not mean the same as match.

57:00 Okay, the shoes and the suit are not exactly the same.

57:04 However, they look good together.

57:08 We use the verb go to talk about this.

57:11 Those shoes go perfectly with your suit.

57:14 We use this preposition with here.

57:17 All right.

57:18 So, for example, we could say, uh, your shirt goes perfectly with your pants.

57:26 Yeah, your shirt goes perfectly with your pants.

57:29 I love it.

57:29 Great look.

57:30 Okay, let's look at a negative.

57:33 That bag doesn't go with this look.

57:35 That bag doesn't go with this look.

57:37 So, for example, if you have a all blue look, maybe that's a bad example.

57:43 Let's say you have a really colorful look,

57:45 but your bag is also like super super colorful and different colors.

57:49 Maybe it's really strange.

57:51 Yeah.

57:52 So that bag subject doesn't go negative with this look.

57:59 So here I've used look, right?

58:01 Look means your appearance that day.

58:04 So today my look is all black right now.

58:06 Yeah, not gothic, just all black, right?

58:09 It's easy.

58:10 It's nice to present it, right?

58:12 So we can use go with something to talk about appearing nicely together.

58:17 Let me check the checked.

58:19 Marian wrote, "Ah, I lost it.

58:21 My [laughter] Sorry, Mary.

58:22 I just lost your comment.

58:23 It went away.

58:24 Judith wrote, "My shoes match my blouse." Perfect.

58:26 Do they really?

58:27 That means your shoes and your blouse have the same pattern.

58:31 Is that true?

58:32 That's amazing.

58:33 I've never heard of that.

58:34 That your shoes and your blouse are the same pattern.

58:37 Is that true?

58:38 Maybe you mean my shoes go with my blouse.

58:42 Yeah.

58:42 This is where we have some confusion.

58:44 Use match only if they are exactly the same.

58:48 Okay.

58:49 Okay.

58:50 Let me check your questions.

58:51 Veilen wrote, "Does socks don't match mean

58:53 that the socks are of different colors?" Yes,

58:56 it can mean or maybe you have a black sock

58:58 that is short and a black sock that is long.

59:01 Right?

59:01 They are not the same.

59:02 When you have a sock when when socks match,

59:06 the two socks are exactly the same sock, right?

59:10 Ex of exactly the same.

59:12 That's matching.

59:13 Yeah.

59:13 Or for like shirt and pants, it's come it's like one set you buy together.

59:19 Okay, that's match.

59:20 All right, let's go to the last part because I'm late.

59:26 All right, some people are writing sentences

59:28 about match that I don't think are correct.

59:31 Match means they are exactly the same.

59:33 Probably your hat does not match your pants.

59:38 Probably right.

59:39 It means they are exactly the same.

59:41 You probably want to say go.

59:44 My hat goes with my pants.

59:47 means they look nice together.

59:49 Okay, this is why I wanted to discuss this point.

59:52 Okay, so if you have the same pattern,

59:55 exactly the same pattern floral like flower pattern on your shirt,

1:00:00 flower pattern on your pants, flower pattern on your hat, great.

1:00:03 And it's exactly the same flower pattern.

1:00:06 Sorry, I don't have pictures of this, but that's okay to say match.

1:00:10 If they do not have the same pattern, they do not match.

1:00:14 Okay, this is different.

1:00:16 Let's go to the last part because I'm out of time.

1:00:18 Let's talk quickly now about some vocabulary and some key slang words.

1:00:23 So, vocabulary.

1:00:24 I wanted to review some adjectives.

1:00:26 This part's quick and easy and how to say that someone appears this way.

1:00:32 So, we have some key adjectives we use to describe somebody when they look nice.

1:00:37 We talked about this expression to look good.

1:00:40 We can also use these very basic patterns.

1:00:43 You look so blank.

1:00:45 Or he, she looks, don't forget this s.

1:00:49 She looks blank.

1:00:51 For example, we have cute.

1:00:53 You look so cute.

1:00:54 You look so cute in that dress.

1:00:56 Or you look so cute in that hat.

1:00:59 Right?

1:00:59 You can say hot.

1:01:01 He looks so hot.

1:01:03 Or she looks so hot in that dress.

1:01:05 He looks so hot in those pants.

1:01:08 Right?

1:01:08 We can use this to talk about celebrities

1:01:10 or someone we see across the room or our partner.

1:01:14 We love good compliments, right?

1:01:16 Elegant also is a great one.

1:01:18 Elegant.

1:01:18 This is a good pronunciation point for many people.

1:01:21 Elegant.

1:01:22 Elegant.

1:01:23 Yeah, elegant.

1:01:24 Don't mispronounce.

1:01:26 Sometimes people struggle with this and it sounds like elegant.

1:01:30 Elegant.

1:01:30 Practice that L sound.

1:01:32 Yeah, elegant.

1:01:33 Of course, we have beautiful and we have handsome as well.

1:01:37 Usually we say beautiful for women and handsome for men.

1:01:41 But we can also talk about uh we can also say like oh like he looked so

1:01:46 beautiful to describe a certain feeling or maybe

1:01:49 sometimes you'll see people uh describe women as handsome.

1:01:52 Often if they have a more masculine trait about them too.

1:01:56 So we can use them in flexible ways.

1:01:58 That's okay to do.

1:02:00 Okay.

1:02:00 Let's go to the last part because I'm out of time.

1:02:02 Oh my gosh.

1:02:03 Quickly some slang.

1:02:04 Let's talk about some fun slang.

1:02:07 First, I have the word baddie here.

1:02:10 Baddie.

1:02:11 This is a noun.

1:02:12 This one is a noun.

1:02:13 You will see this one used a lot to talk about usually um usually women.

1:02:19 Usually women, perhaps some men too,

1:02:21 but usually women are described as a baddie.

1:02:24 This is usually uh someone who's very hot.

1:02:27 Uh, and often she has like a Instagram

1:02:31 or Tik Tok account where she posts just hot pictures.

1:02:35 Yeah, that's that's a baddie oftentimes honestly if I'm being direct.

1:02:39 So, it's not bad to be a baddie.

1:02:41 This is not bad at all.

1:02:43 But the image sometimes the feeling is

1:02:46 that a baddie just wants to look good on Instagram.

1:02:50 [laughter] It's kind of the feeling sometimes.

1:02:52 But of course, that's not true for everybody.

1:02:55 that you might hear people say, "Oh, like my friend, uh,

1:02:58 he's dating a baddie or he's dating an Instagram baddie,"

1:03:02 which sounds like she looks good on Instagram a lot,

1:03:05 but maybe we don't know her real life look.

1:03:07 Okay, so bad is a new kind of slang word we see.

1:03:11 Uh, the next one is sick.

1:03:13 This is old.

1:03:14 This is an old slang word that comes from kind of street wear,

1:03:18 uh, skate communities.

1:03:20 Sick means good.

1:03:21 Sick means cool.

1:03:22 Sick means awesome.

1:03:23 I like it.

1:03:24 That's sick.

1:03:25 Like, where'd you get that hat?

1:03:27 That's sick.

1:03:27 Where'd you get those shoes?

1:03:28 Those are sick.

1:03:30 Something that is sick is good.

1:03:32 It does not mean you caught a cold.

1:03:34 Something that is sick for your appearance is a compliment.

1:03:37 That's a good thing.

1:03:38 All right.

1:03:39 Thanks, control desk, gnarly, dude.

1:03:41 Yeah, getting into old slang now.

1:03:43 All right, let's go to the next one.

1:03:45 I'm dead.

1:03:47 I'm dead.

1:03:48 Okay, [laughter] this one we're getting into some younger slang here now.

1:03:52 The younger like Gen Z likes to use phrases like I'm dead, right?

1:03:58 which means they are like they really like something a lot

1:04:01 like laughing a lot or you're you think that something is so

1:04:05 good you're like oh my gosh I think that's so amazing

1:04:08 I died is kind of the feeling here right obviously I'm overexplaining

1:04:12 it but check the YouTube comment sections of like your favorite

1:04:16 vloggers check your favorite uh Instagrammer

1:04:18 like English speaking Instagrammer's comment section

1:04:21 especially the younger ones and you will probably see I'm dead which

1:04:25 means that they are like they think something is super super good.

1:04:29 Okay, so I'm dead is also now a compliment usually.

1:04:33 Okay, sometimes it can mean I'm dead because this was so bad.

1:04:37 But oftentimes, usually it is used to mean a good thing.

1:04:41 Okay, next one is I can't with.

1:04:45 I can't with this is followed by a noun phrase like

1:04:49 I can't with this lecture or h I can't with this guy.

1:04:54 It means that I am frustrated with this or I don't like this thing very much.

1:04:59 Yeah, I can't with noun phrase.

1:05:02 And you can also use this to talk about personal style.

1:05:04 Like I can't with this bag.

1:05:06 Okay, so it's kind of strange, I know,

1:05:09 but you might also hear people use this to talk about personal style.

1:05:12 Okay, finishing up number number two.

1:05:16 This column two, to rock.

1:05:18 This is another old one, old slang term, but it's still used.

1:05:22 To rock means to wear in a cool way,

1:05:25 like today I'm rocking these sunglasses, right?

1:05:28 We could say, "Today I'm rocking these shades or today I'm rocking this shirt.

1:05:32 Today I'm rocking this pair of shoes." Right?

1:05:35 So to rock means to wear something in a cool way.

1:05:39 And lastly, dope.

1:05:41 Dope like sick.

1:05:42 Dope means cool.

1:05:43 Hey, that's dope.

1:05:44 Oh, that hat is dope.

1:05:46 Where did you get it?

1:05:47 Those shoes are dope.

1:05:48 Where did you get those?

1:05:49 Right.

1:05:50 So, dope, sick, cool, awesome, all compliments.

1:05:53 All come from kind of street um style speaking.

1:05:57 Okay, we have to finish.

1:05:58 [laughter] I'm late as usual.

1:06:00 So, we'll finish there for today.

1:09:26 So, I think some people have joined.

1:09:28 Welcome everybody on YouTube.

1:09:30 Hi, Victor, Natalie, Kishor, Patrick, Emanuel, Ericson, uh, Nevian.

1:09:35 Uh, hello everybody.

1:09:36 I don't see anyone on Facebook yet.

1:09:38 Maybe Facebook is joining.

1:09:40 We'll see.

1:09:41 Let's begin now.

1:09:42 So, let's get started because as always, I have a lot to talk about today.

1:09:47 So, today I want to begin with some key vocabulary words.

1:09:52 I have chosen one, two, three, four, five, six.

1:09:55 Six key verbs that are very important to know.

1:09:58 And it's really important to know

1:10:00 the differences between these because these words are

1:10:03 used a lot in the news to talk about what's coming up in the future.

1:10:09 So, let's break these down and you can send your examples in the chat.

1:10:13 I'll try to check live as always.

1:10:15 Okay, let's begin with the first one.

1:10:18 To guess.

1:10:19 Today's basic verb to guess.

1:10:21 To guess means to form an opinion without much information.

1:10:28 So, when you have a little information and you think,

1:10:32 I think this is going to happen, maybe that's a guess.

1:10:36 We don't know 100%.

1:10:39 It's just a feeling that we have.

1:10:42 So when somebody says, "What are you going to do this weekend?" You could say,

1:10:45 "I guess I'm going to go to the beach." Or, "I guess I'm going to do something

1:10:53 something." We have this use for guess to guess

1:10:56 as in we don't really have a plan.

1:10:59 But we also use this when we report information

1:11:03 like he guessed about the sales for next month

1:11:07 or the CEO made a guess about the project

1:11:12 which means they don't have a lot of information.

1:11:15 I also just noted or also just used this as a noun.

1:11:19 So we can use this as a verb and as a noun.

1:11:22 Both are okay to use.

1:11:24 So to guess as a verb, guess as a noun is okay.

1:11:27 All right, [snorts] let's continue to the second

1:11:30 kind of base verb for today's lesson.

1:11:33 To predict, to predict.

1:11:36 The noun form is prediction.

1:11:39 So to predict means to form an opinion using data or other information.

1:11:47 Okay.

1:11:48 So when we predict something, we have some knowledge about that topic.

1:11:53 So for example when we predict the economy in our country right we think okay I

1:12:00 can see you know money is going up

1:12:02 and down and company performance going up and down.

1:12:06 So we make a guess but we use information and we use data.

1:12:12 So we call that predicting something.

1:12:15 So in a sentence we would say he correctly predicted the economy's

1:12:20 changes this year or they didn't predict the sales for this quarter.

1:12:26 So that means they did not guess the sales

1:12:29 or they did not correctly guess the sales.

1:12:32 So predict is like guess but we have information to help us with that.

1:12:38 Sometimes you might hear predict used in very like mysterious situations.

1:12:43 For example, like uh someone who reads palms,

1:12:46 like checking the lines on your hand to guess your future.

1:12:50 We might use the verb to predict for that.

1:12:52 Like she predicted my future.

1:12:55 So you might hear it used in or you might

1:12:57 hear predict used in these mysterious kind of spiritual situations also.

1:13:03 But in the news, it usually means to use some information to make a guess.

1:13:08 Okay, great.

1:13:09 Let me come and check the chat.

1:13:10 I don't see any examples yet.

1:13:12 Hello everybody who is joining right now.

1:13:14 Hi Vilen, Tamina, Carlos, uh someone from Thailand.

1:13:18 What's up?

1:13:18 Uh Mauricio from Colombia and Andreas.

1:13:20 Hola, hello.

1:13:21 Oh, on Facebook, Abdullah, hello.

1:13:23 Welcome.

1:13:23 Okay, let's go to the next verb to bet.

1:13:27 To bet.

1:13:29 Maybe you've heard the slang word bet.

1:13:31 This is related to bet as a verb.

1:13:34 And we have the noun which is a bet.

1:13:37 To bet means together with another person you guess an outcome.

1:13:43 Okay?

1:13:44 So sports is a very common example of this.

1:13:48 For example, excuse me, when you and your friend are watching, let's say,

1:13:54 football and you think team A is going to win

1:13:57 and your friend thinks team B is going to win.

1:14:00 You say, I bet team B is going to or I think I bet team A is going to win.

1:14:06 Your friend says, "No, I bet team B is going to win." And then you say,

1:14:11 "No, I bet let's say $10 team A is going to win." They say,

1:14:17 "Okay, I'll take that bet." Which means now both

1:14:22 people agree to watch the game and the winner,

1:14:26 the winning team gets money from the losing team.

1:14:30 Okay?

1:14:30 So that means if team A is the winner, my friend gives me $10.

1:14:36 If team B is the winner, I give my friend $10.

1:14:40 So this process, this is called a bet as a noun.

1:14:44 And we use the verb to bet to describe this agreement.

1:14:49 Yeah.

1:14:50 So we often say I bet blah blah blah is going to happen.

1:14:54 So it does not always mean we're going to give money, but sometimes it does.

1:15:00 When you play a game or when there's sports involved,

1:15:03 it often means there is money involved.

1:15:05 So when we bet it means there's like

1:15:07 a competition for the outcome for the result of that.

1:15:11 Okay.

1:15:12 All right.

1:15:13 Let's go to the next one.

1:15:14 The next one is to speculate.

1:15:17 To speculate, this one is so important to know

1:15:20 because this happens in the media a lot.

1:15:24 To speculate means to imagine an outcome,

1:15:28 to imagine the result of something but with very little information.

1:15:35 So that means we have like for example just a 3se secondond video

1:15:39 clip or a 5second video clip and we imagine what happened after the clip.

1:15:46 That's called speculating.

1:15:48 So the noun is speculation.

1:15:50 As a verb we say to speculate.

1:15:53 So in the news you might say something like

1:15:56 that article speculated about the outcome of the election.

1:16:01 So that means there's a little information only but we imagine the outcome.

1:16:07 So this is like a guess.

1:16:09 It's like making a guess but usually it's like a bigger guess.

1:16:13 We are imagining the situation.

1:16:15 We are imagining the outcome scenario.

1:16:18 Yeah.

1:16:18 So to speculate is very common uh in the news these days in the media.

1:16:24 Okay, let's see the next one.

1:16:26 Uh Emanuel, you've got a bunch of examples.

1:16:28 Uh I bet uh maybe I bet so much money for for team B.

1:16:32 Ah, and when you use Thank you for your uh example sentence, Emanuel.

1:16:37 When you use the verb to bet,

1:16:39 we use the preposition on to bet on team A or to bet on the outcome.

1:16:46 So, I'll add that as a note here.

1:16:48 To bet on something or to bet on someone.

1:16:55 Our preposition in this case is on.

1:16:58 So, thank you very much for your example there.

1:17:00 To bet on someone or to bet on something.

1:17:03 Okay, let's continue to the last two.

1:17:06 The last two, uh, the first is to anticipate.

1:17:10 To anticipate.

1:17:12 The verb to anticipate means to expect something to happen.

1:17:17 So we it's like we predict, right?

1:17:20 So we have information and we expect that thing to happen or to occur.

1:17:26 Yeah.

1:17:27 So we anticipate is something you might see in company reports.

1:17:33 Like for example, a big company talks about their plans

1:17:37 for the year or they talk about their predictions for the year.

1:17:40 Like Apple might say uh we anticipate uh like 1

1:17:45 million sales of the new iPhone this year for example, right?

1:17:50 So we anticipate means we expect and we have

1:17:54 some information to make this guess about the future.

1:17:58 Yeah, you could say yes,

1:17:59 we predict that there will be 1 million sales of the iPhone.

1:18:03 Anticipate is kind of like we we feel strongly or we

1:18:07 have some ideas that make us believe this is true.

1:18:11 Yeah.

1:18:11 So it's a little bit stronger than just a prediction.

1:18:15 Okay.

1:18:16 Last one then to forecast.

1:18:18 To forecast is very important because we see it used for weather news every day.

1:18:25 The weather forecast means the weather's predictions,

1:18:29 the predictions about the weather.

1:18:30 what is going to happen that week for the weather.

1:18:33 So we use this to mean to expect an outcome based on information.

1:18:39 So you see this used a lot for the weather and also for like sales data,

1:18:45 anything that has numbers.

1:18:47 We often use forecast to talk about that.

1:18:49 So forecast and anticipate they both give us information or they both help

1:18:55 us explain our strong ideas about the future future outcomes with some data.

1:19:01 Yeah.

1:19:02 So these two anticipate and forecast usually have some information behind

1:19:06 them but to speculate usually does not has very very little.

1:19:11 Okay.

1:19:12 So they sound big right?

1:19:13 They sound fancy but speculate means little information.

1:19:17 is a big problem in the news and social media.

1:19:20 Anticipate and forecast sounds more like there's

1:19:23 some data or there's a reason behind it.

1:19:26 Okay, so these are our key words for today.

1:19:28 Let me check your examples.

1:19:30 Ericson wrote, "I bet he will win in the competition." Nice example.

1:19:34 Nice use of bet there.

1:19:35 Mino wrote, "These days people speculate things

1:19:38 uh on YouTube with short films." Yes.

1:19:41 So, we often use also uh to speculate about.

1:19:45 I will add a note to this one.

1:19:47 Thanks for your example, Mino.

1:19:49 To speculate about something.

1:19:52 So, people speculate about uh the about

1:19:56 politics or people speculate about conspiracies, some crazy stories, right?

1:20:01 To to speculate about something is how we use speculate.

1:20:05 Nice one.

1:20:06 Um Emanuel wrote, I I bet.

1:20:10 So, we don't need to there.

1:20:11 Yeah, I've just put the infinitive.

1:20:13 I bet on team B.

1:20:15 And no article, no the there.

1:20:17 I bet on team B.

1:20:18 Right.

1:20:19 Base noun phrase.

1:20:20 Okay.

1:20:21 Natalie wrote, "The observatory predicts a hurricane

1:20:24 will come this weekend." Nice one, Natalie.

1:20:26 Great.

1:20:26 Great one.

1:20:27 Okay.

1:20:28 Or you could say, "A hurricane is forecast for this weekend,

1:20:32 too." So forecast sounds great, but your sentence is also perfect.

1:20:36 So we can use different verbs correctly here.

1:20:39 That's not like this one is correct or this one is the best.

1:20:42 It depends on what the feeling is you want to communicate.

1:20:47 Let's see what else we have.

1:20:48 Paloma wrote, "He predicted the downfall of the company." Nice one.

1:20:52 Great example sentence.

1:20:54 Okay.

1:20:54 Emanuel wrote, "The weather channel forecasted that today is rain." Yeah.

1:20:59 So, we often will say today like today there will there will

1:21:03 be rain or there will be snow or there will be hail.

1:21:08 So, a natural way to say that the weather channel

1:21:10 forecasted that today would rain or today would be rainy.

1:21:15 Something like that.

1:21:15 We use that.

1:21:17 Um, Ericson wrote, "According to the weather forecast,

1:21:20 we will have a rain shower this coming weekend." Nice one.

1:21:23 Great job, everybody.

1:21:24 Okay.

1:21:25 Hi to everyone saying hello.

1:21:41 let's take a quick break and then we're going

1:22:44 I'm trying to read from different people.

1:22:46 Great job if you are sending multiple examples.

1:22:49 Ravka wrote, I speculate about my life.

1:22:51 Okay.

1:22:52 But I hope you have some information.

1:22:55 Right.

1:22:55 So your sentence, the grammar of your sentence is correct.

1:22:59 100% correct grammar.

1:23:01 But when we speculate about something, we have very little information, right?

1:23:07 And you you know your life, right?

1:23:10 [laughter] You have the most information about your life.

1:23:14 So probably you don't speculate about your life, right?

1:23:18 You can predict your life, what you think is going to happen.

1:23:22 You can anticipate something is going to happen.

1:23:25 Maybe you can bet.

1:23:27 You can make a bet about something.

1:23:29 I bet I'm going to get that job.

1:23:31 Right?

1:23:32 So probably probably you don't speculate about your life.

1:23:36 Maybe I don't know what happens in your life, but maybe it's super crazy.

1:23:40 Um, let's see.

1:23:41 Veilen wrote, "Is anticipation used with the word feel?

1:23:45 Can you give me an example?" Uh, I can't think of one off the top of my head,

1:23:49 which makes me think it's not common,

1:23:51 but if you have an example, please send it in the chat.

1:23:55 Um, others, let's see.

1:23:57 Hello, everybody saying hello.

1:23:59 Renee wrote, "I bet on business." What do you mean?

1:24:02 I bet on that business.

1:24:04 Like, I bet that business is going to succeed, maybe.

1:24:09 Okay, let's continue to our grammar for today.

1:24:12 Going to and will.

1:24:14 So important to practice these from time to time.

1:24:17 When do we use these two?

1:24:19 Let's refresh ourselves because we love to practice this.

1:24:23 First going to here is the basic pattern.

1:24:26 If you forgot or if this is new for you, you can follow along.

1:24:31 Subject plus a be verb that matches the subject like am, is or are.

1:24:37 I am.

1:24:38 He is.

1:24:39 You are.

1:24:40 Right.

1:24:41 Then going to plus the infinitive verb.

1:24:45 Yeah.

1:24:46 The base verb.

1:24:47 No change to this verb.

1:24:48 Don't put ing here.

1:24:50 No ing.

1:24:50 Right.

1:24:51 Going to be, going to swim, going to eat, going to succeed.

1:24:56 Okay?

1:24:56 No change to the verb.

1:24:58 To make it negative, we use not going to.

1:25:02 It sounds very natural to reduce going to to gonna.

1:25:08 So I'm not gonna verb or he's gonna verb.

1:25:12 She's gonna verb.

1:25:13 You're not going to verb.

1:25:15 Okay.

1:25:15 So today I want to practice when we use this one,

1:25:19 especially to make guesses about the future.

1:25:22 So the two stars I have here are the main points for today's use.

1:25:26 We use going to for strong decisions in the moment.

1:25:31 So that means right now I made a decision and I feel so strongly about it.

1:25:37 Okay.

1:25:38 Second, we use it for guesses you feel very strong about.

1:25:43 So this could be a guess about the future,

1:25:46 but you think it's so important or I really believe this is true.

1:25:52 So maybe the theme for today's going to is strong feelings, right?

1:25:57 When you have a strong feeling about something.

1:26:00 So, let's take a look at some example sentences.

1:26:02 You can send me yours in the chat.

1:26:04 Okay, let's begin.

1:26:06 Let me get a red color here.

1:26:07 Okay, first one.

1:26:09 It's gonna be hot tomorrow.

1:26:11 It's going to be hot tomorrow.

1:26:12 Here we have going to with gonna.

1:26:15 I reduced it.

1:26:17 You can use this spelling gonna in casual messages,

1:26:21 text messages to your friends, family,

1:26:23 to your co-workers as well, but use going to when you want to be more polite.

1:26:29 Okay.

1:26:29 So, it's gonna be hot tomorrow.

1:26:31 Here's my subject.

1:26:32 It Here is my verb.

1:26:34 It is, but it's reduced.

1:26:36 It is going to be is my verb.

1:26:41 It's going to be hot tomorrow.

1:26:43 Here's our base pattern right here.

1:26:44 Just in this little section.

1:26:46 Okay.

1:26:47 Next one.

1:26:48 We're not going to get to the airport on time.

1:26:52 We are not going to get to the airport on time.

1:26:54 Oh, no.

1:26:55 So, what's happening here?

1:26:56 We is our subject.

1:26:58 Here is the verb be reduced.

1:27:01 We are.

1:27:02 Now we have the negative.

1:27:03 Not going to.

1:27:05 Our verb is get.

1:27:06 We are not going to get to the airport on time.

1:27:11 On time, meaning at the planned schedule or at the time of the schedule.

1:27:16 Okay.

1:27:17 We're not going to get to the airport on time.

1:27:19 Okay.

1:27:20 Um, let me see the chat.

1:27:22 Uh, Emanuel, could I say about to do something?

1:27:25 Yes, I'm about to do a thing.

1:27:28 Yes.

1:27:29 So, that's just a simple future tense statement, right?

1:27:32 About your planned action.

1:27:34 So, that's correct.

1:27:35 But today, we're just practicing making a guess about the future.

1:27:38 Yeah.

1:27:39 Or talking about our predictions.

1:27:41 Okay.

1:27:42 Um, some of you are sending going to examples.

1:27:46 Today, again, like I said,

1:27:48 we're practicing making a guess about the future, right?

1:27:52 This is not about our plan.

1:27:55 for the future.

1:27:56 Okay.

1:27:56 Do you understand they're different?

1:27:58 So, yes, your sentence, I'm going to go to place tomorrow is correct.

1:28:03 Is that a guess?

1:28:04 Are you making a guess or is that your plan?

1:28:07 You already decided that.

1:28:08 Okay, it's correct.

1:28:10 For today, we're practicing a guess for the future.

1:28:14 We don't know.

1:28:16 Okay, let's see what's going on else.

1:28:18 Um, the black eagle has one.

1:28:20 I think it's going to rain soon.

1:28:22 Nice one.

1:28:22 That's a good guess.

1:28:23 We don't know 100%.

1:28:26 Okay.

1:28:26 All right.

1:28:27 Let's continue to the next one.

1:28:29 He's probably going to arrive soon.

1:28:32 He's probably going to arrive soon.

1:28:34 Here is a key word, probably.

1:28:37 Probably is used for emphasis to show something is

1:28:41 more likely or less likely in the negative form.

1:28:45 This is a positive sentence, right?

1:28:48 My subject is he.

1:28:49 My verb is is.

1:28:51 He is probably going to arrive soon.

1:28:55 So this means I have a very strong feeling I am correct.

1:28:59 By using probably I increase my confidence level in this sentence.

1:29:05 So he's going to arrive soon like okay.

1:29:08 Yeah probably means like yeah I'm pretty sure

1:29:12 I'm pretty sure he's going to arrive soon.

1:29:14 Okay others.

1:29:16 Uh okay I see many again I see many messages in the chat.

1:29:20 You are sending me your plans.

1:29:21 That is incorrect for today.

1:29:23 I don't know how to make that more clear.

1:29:25 If you write a plan, it is incorrect for today's lesson.

1:29:28 Your grammar is correct.

1:29:30 The meaning is incorrect for today.

1:29:33 Okay.

1:29:34 So, we are trying to express a guess about the future.

1:29:38 Yeah.

1:29:38 Not a plan.

1:29:39 Not a plan.

1:29:40 Right.

1:29:40 Something we don't know about the future.

1:29:42 So, try again.

1:29:43 You can do it.

1:29:44 Okay.

1:29:45 Uh, you know, nice one.

1:29:46 Nice guess.

1:29:46 I'm not going to fall asleep today.

1:29:48 I took enough naps this morning.

1:29:50 Nice one.

1:29:50 I'm not going to fall asleep.

1:29:52 Like you're trying so hard in the moment, right?

1:29:54 Great example.

1:29:55 So, not a plan necessarily, but a strong belief.

1:29:59 Great example.

1:30:00 Paloma has a good one, too.

1:30:01 She's not going to finish the assignment in time.

1:30:04 Great example.

1:30:05 Great prediction.

1:30:06 Okay, Rafika, your your example, I have read it before.

1:30:09 It is incorrect for today.

1:30:11 Your grammar is correct, but that is a plan, not a guess.

1:30:15 Okay, do you understand?

1:30:17 Um, let's see others.

1:30:18 Facebook, where are you today, Facebook?

1:30:20 [laughter] No one knows.

1:30:21 Okay, let's go to the last one.

1:30:23 We're probably not going to have enough money.

1:30:27 We're probably not going to have enough money.

1:30:29 Uh oh.

1:30:29 Okay, so here's a negative.

1:30:31 Let's break this one down.

1:30:32 We subject are is our verb, our B verb.

1:30:37 Again, we have probably here.

1:30:39 However, this time it is a negative.

1:30:41 We are probably not going to.

1:30:44 Our verb is have.

1:30:46 we are probably not going to have enough money.

1:30:49 So again, probably is there, but with the negative, it means that uh oh,

1:30:53 I think there's a good chance there's not going to be enough money.

1:30:57 Okay, so again, we are making a guess

1:31:00 we're probably not going to have enough money.

1:31:02 Yeah, so this shows we think there's a very strong chance of that.

1:31:06 Okay.

1:31:07 All right.

1:31:08 Let's see some others.

1:31:09 Um Erikson, what's the difference between going to about

1:31:13 doing a plan and to talk about the destination?

1:31:15 Well, do you see any destination in these example sentences?

1:31:21 Maybe the airport here.

1:31:22 Probably not going to get to the airport, but we have this on time, right?

1:31:27 We're talking about the time frame.

1:31:29 Notice none of these are talking about a plan to go somewhere, right?

1:31:35 These are all talking about a situation in the future.

1:31:39 Yeah.

1:31:40 So, that's a good indication,

1:31:41 a good sign that it's about a guess, not a destination.

1:31:45 So, I hope that answers your question.

1:31:47 Okay.

1:31:48 Um, Ina wrote, "I'm going to be smarter tomorrow." Okay, great.

1:31:52 [laughter] I hope that works for you.

1:31:53 Good.

1:31:54 Um, Kashoff wrote, "We're probably not

1:31:57 going to achieve this." Good example sentence.

1:32:00 All right.

1:32:00 I love that.

1:32:01 Um, okay.

1:32:02 Let's continue to the last part.

1:32:04 I want to mention the distant future.

1:32:07 Distant future means very very very far in the future.

1:32:11 How do we talk about this with going to?

1:32:14 Here is a guide.

1:32:15 Okay, this is not a rule, not a 100% rule, but just a guide to use going to.

1:32:22 Okay, we can use going to for data and informationbased predictions.

1:32:29 Remember predict to predict I talked about in part one

1:32:32 to predict means we use some information to make the guess, right?

1:32:37 So when you use data or you have information,

1:32:41 you have evidence and you make a strong guess about the future,

1:32:45 you can use going to to do that.

1:32:48 Here's one example.

1:32:49 Many countries are going to experience weather changes in the future.

1:32:55 Many countries are going to experience weather changes in the future.

1:32:58 Here I have again going to same pattern, right?

1:33:03 So here's my subject.

1:33:06 Many countries are going to experience weather changes in the future.

1:33:11 So I have some data.

1:33:12 I have some information to make this prediction.

1:33:16 Right?

1:33:16 Going to sounds like a confident prediction.

1:33:19 Yeah.

1:33:20 So we can use going to here.

1:33:21 If you used will, many countries will experience weather changes in the future.

1:33:25 It doesn't have the same feeling of lots and lots of maybe data behind it.

1:33:30 I suppose depending on the person, someone might use will.

1:33:34 But I feel that going to tends to sound more confident here.

1:33:38 Okay.

1:33:39 Uh Andreas, can you explain the topic of passive voice?

1:33:42 Today's lesson is not about passive voice.

1:33:44 I recommend you do a search on the YouTube channel

1:33:46 where I have probably 10 videos about the passive voice.

1:33:50 So check those out.

1:33:51 Today's lesson is a different topic.

1:33:53 Continuing uh let's go to will because time is

1:33:55 going quickly and I like to explain a lot.

1:33:58 Let's go to will and compare with going to.

1:34:02 First our basic pattern is subject plus will plus the infinitive verb.

1:34:09 So very simple, very easy, right?

1:34:11 Subject will infinitive verb negative form won't which is will not.

1:34:18 But usually we say won't.

1:34:19 Okay.

1:34:20 So when should we use will?

1:34:23 Point number one, we use it

1:34:24 for in the- moment decisions or in the- moment guesses.

1:34:28 Okay, maybe this will help today.

1:34:30 in the moment guesses.

1:34:32 Okay, we just guessed.

1:34:34 I just came up with this idea.

1:34:36 Okay, I just made this opinion and we use it for weak guesses.

1:34:42 Okay, [laughter] something that we're not so sure about.

1:34:45 Okay, let's take a look at the examples with will.

1:34:48 Now, all right, first one.

1:34:49 The weather will be hot tomorrow.

1:34:51 The weather will be hot tomorrow.

1:34:52 Okay, so here we have our subject, the weather.

1:34:56 Here is will and our infinitive verb, right?

1:34:58 the weather will be hot tomorrow.

1:35:00 So we maybe we just use that in the moment like we just

1:35:03 noticed like oh weather's gonna or the weather's

1:35:05 the weather will be hot tomorrow.

1:35:07 Yeah.

1:35:08 Or maybe we don't feel confident about it.

1:35:10 So maybe you can see gonna or going to and will are both correct sentences

1:35:17 but they give us a different feeling

1:35:20 about the level of confidence the speaker has.

1:35:24 Yeah.

1:35:24 So if I say, "Oh, it's going to be hot tomorrow." I sound very confident.

1:35:28 I know it's going to be hot tomorrow.

1:35:30 If I say, "I think it'll be hot tomorrow." It sounds less confident.

1:35:36 That's the difference there.

1:35:37 Okay, let's go to the second one.

1:35:39 He won't get to the meeting on time.

1:35:41 He won't get to the meeting on time.

1:35:43 This sounds like a guess I just made.

1:35:46 I just made this this guess.

1:35:48 Maybe I heard like that he's running late from home and I say, "So,

1:35:52 I make the guess, okay, yeah, he won't get to the meeting on time." Right?

1:35:56 So here I have subject he won't.

1:36:00 Infinitive verb get.

1:36:01 He won't get or he won't arrive at the meeting on time.

1:36:05 This one sounds like a guess I just made in the moment.

1:36:09 Okay, let's go to the next one.

1:36:12 We'll probably arrive late.

1:36:14 We'll probably arrive late.

1:36:16 When you're coming to your friend's house,

1:36:18 you're driving in the car or something or you're

1:36:21 on the subway and you text or call and you're like, "Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry.

1:36:25 We'll probably arrive late today.

1:36:27 I'm so sorry.

1:36:28 What's happening here?

1:36:29 We plus will.

1:36:32 Here's the will right here.

1:36:34 We will.

1:36:34 It's reduced to will.

1:36:37 And again, we have probably and our verb is arrive.

1:36:42 So, we can use probably with will also

1:36:45 to show the level of confidence in something.

1:36:48 So here, we'll arrive late means 100% we're going to arrive late.

1:36:53 And I just now realized we'll probably arrive late

1:36:58 means there's a very high chance of arriving late.

1:37:02 Yeah, we'll probably arrive late.

1:37:04 I'm so sorry.

1:37:05 It just happened.

1:37:06 Okay.

1:37:07 If we said we're going to arrive late,

1:37:09 it sounds very very confident and also like

1:37:12 you could understand the steps coming up to that.

1:37:15 Like today I had so much work to do and I

1:37:17 left the house so late and then I forgot something.

1:37:20 Oh no.

1:37:21 Like many different steps and now you can tell your friend,

1:37:24 "Oh my gosh, we're going to arrive late.

1:37:26 I'm so sorry." We'll arrive late sounds more like it just happened.

1:37:31 That just happened today.

1:37:33 Okay.

1:37:33 All right.

1:37:34 Last one and then I'll come back to the chat.

1:37:36 She probably won't come to work.

1:37:38 She probably won't come to work.

1:37:40 So subject is she.

1:37:42 Again, we have probably.

1:37:44 Here is my won't the negative and our verb is come.

1:37:48 She probably won't come to work.

1:37:50 Like I heard she's sick today.

1:37:52 She probably won't come to work.

1:37:54 It means again we make the guest at the moment.

1:37:57 Right?

1:37:57 I just now got the information.

1:37:59 So she probably won't come to work today.

1:38:02 H right.

1:38:03 So here we have probably again but in the negative

1:38:07 form meaning there's a very low chance of coming to work.

1:38:11 Yeah.

1:38:11 So she won't come to work.

1:38:13 Sounds like 100%.

1:38:15 I just made that guess,

1:38:16 but she probably means there's a low chance of that happening.

1:38:20 Okay, let me check the chat.

1:38:25 Um, yeah, I'll catch a cold tomorrow.

1:38:27 I would say, uh, I'll So, to catch a cold means to get the germ.

1:38:33 Yeah.

1:38:33 So, you might say, uh, I'll be sick tomorrow.

1:38:37 Or, I'll probably be sick tomorrow.

1:38:39 I think I caught a cold.

1:38:41 That's a good way to express it.

1:38:42 Like when you catch a cold, it's like the germ reaches you.

1:38:45 So you're like, "Oh no." It's a one-time action.

1:38:48 So I would say, "I'll probably be sick tomorrow.

1:38:51 My scrot my thro my throat feels scratchy." Yeah.

1:38:55 Okay.

1:38:55 Others.

1:38:56 Paloma wrote, "He won't make it to the presentation on time." Good one.

1:39:00 Um Kashoff, very close.

1:39:03 So I'll might be there.

1:39:05 You've got I might is okay to use grammatically.

1:39:08 That's great.

1:39:09 Uh and then I I didn't catch the other one.

1:39:11 I won't apologize to you.

1:39:13 Okay, don't spam your messages in the chat.

1:39:15 I'm checking everybody.

1:39:16 You're going to get timed out by control desk.

1:39:18 Okay, stop it, Rafika.

1:39:20 I see you.

1:39:21 Oh, control desk is putting you in timeout.

1:39:23 [laughter] Okay, I don't see other examples on Facebook yet.

1:39:27 Uh oh, someone asked the question about Arnold Schwarzenegger.

1:39:30 I'll be back.

1:39:31 He said I So, he didn't have to say I'm going to be back.

1:39:35 No, I'll be back.

1:39:36 Arnold Schwarzenegger is Terminator.

1:39:38 You can understand that as he made that decision now, right?

1:39:41 He's he's just decided like, "Okay, I'll be back." Like,

1:39:45 I need to come back for something and I very recently made that decision.

1:39:49 If he had said, "I'm going to come back." It sounds like he had a plan,

1:39:53 but after everything that happens in the movie,

1:39:56 he's like, "I'll be back." Right?

1:39:58 He made that decision at the moment.

1:40:00 So, that's the reason he says, "I'll be back." Instead of, "I'm going

1:40:03 to come back." [laughter] Which sounds strange.

1:40:06 It's very funny.

1:40:07 Okay, let's finish because I'm out of time.

1:40:09 As usual, we can use will for the distant future, just like going to.

1:40:14 We use it for a simple guess with little to no information.

1:40:20 So, if you have just a tiny bit of information, but you want to make a guess,

1:40:24 just a basic guess, you can use will to do that.

1:40:27 Again, this is not a perfect rule.

1:40:30 It's just a guide.

1:40:31 So, here's a fun example.

1:40:33 We'll have flying cars in the future.

1:40:35 We'll have flying cars in the future.

1:40:37 We will have flying cars in the future.

1:40:42 So, what information do I have?

1:40:43 I have no information.

1:40:45 [laughter] Just I saw Star Wars or a science fiction movie.

1:40:48 It looks exciting.

1:40:49 So, I can imagine we'll have flying cars in the future.

1:40:52 How cool is that?

1:40:53 Okay, phew.

1:40:54 I'll end there.

1:40:55 I will put a QR code now because I am running late.

1:41:00 So, if you want to get today's lesson board,

1:41:03 you can get it from this QR code right now.

1:41:06 Oh my gosh.

1:41:07 Hey, I'll get out of the way so you can get that in just a moment.

1:41:11 Tada!

1:41:11 There it is.

1:41:12 Hooray.

1:41:13 Scan it now.

1:41:14 You can get everything that I wrote on the board.

1:41:16 So, I hope that is helpful for you.

1:41:18 Okay, I have to finish there for today.

1:41:21 I used up all my time as usual.

1:41:23 Thank you everybody for your great examples.

1:41:25 I will of course be back next week.

1:41:28 Next week I'm gonna talk about I always

1:41:31 forget what I put in the lesson schedule.

1:41:33 Sorry, everybody.

1:41:34 Let's see.

1:41:35 Next week's lesson is Oh my gosh.

1:42:24 Hi everybody.

1:42:25 Welcome back to our weekly live stream.

1:42:27 My name is Alicia and in this week's live lesson,

1:42:31 we're going to talk about telling daily life stories with past tense

1:42:36 and past progressive tense and we're going to practice using them together.

1:42:42 I know combining these types of grammar

1:42:44 points can be challenging for many people.

1:42:47 So today we're going to talk about when to use past tense,

1:42:51 when to use progressive, past progressive today.

1:42:55 And then at the end of the lesson, we're going to look at a sample,

1:42:59 very simple, very easy story that you can use in everyday life.

1:43:04 You can take the grammar points from this story and use

1:43:06 it in your own life to tell your own story.

1:43:09 So I hope this is a really really helpful lesson

1:43:13 because you can use these when you talk to your friends, your family members,

1:43:17 your co-workers just to tell those small daily

1:43:20 life stories which are really important for communication.

1:44:44 Hello VS.

1:44:45 Hi Hamid.

1:44:46 Hello Patrick.

1:44:47 What's up?

1:44:48 Uh Nil on Facebook.

1:44:49 Hello.

1:44:50 I saw I see that one right now.

1:44:52 Okay.

1:44:52 Uh back on YouTube.

1:44:53 Hello Zuma.

1:44:54 Welcome.

1:44:55 Rafika.

1:44:55 Hello everybody.

1:44:56 Carlos, what's up?

1:44:57 Great.

1:44:58 Uh Kashoff, hello.

1:44:59 Oh my gosh.

1:44:59 Great.

1:45:00 Hi everybody.

1:45:01 Oh, I remember you from last week.

1:45:02 Don't spam.

1:45:03 you sent a lot of spam messages last week.

1:45:06 Okay, let's begin because we have a lot to talk about.

1:45:09 Okay, let's begin today with simple past tense.

1:45:13 Today, I'm not going to focus a lot on how we make the grammar.

1:45:18 Today, we're going to practice a lot on when to use the grammar.

1:45:22 Okay, so get ready to type your example sentences

1:45:25 in the chat or if you're not watching this live, put them in the comments.

1:45:29 Okay, let's begin.

1:45:30 Simple past tense.

1:45:32 When should we use simple past tense?

1:45:35 First, we use simple past tense for actions that started and ended in the past.

1:45:42 Okay, they are done.

1:45:44 They are complete.

1:45:45 Okay, if we look at this on a timeline here,

1:45:50 uh where here is the present, the star is now.

1:45:53 Today, we're going to focus on this part

1:45:56 of the timeline between the past and now, right?

1:45:59 Long time.

1:46:00 So if we imagine these blue points here,

1:46:03 right here where it says start, it's small start and end.

1:46:07 We use past tense to talk about something that had

1:46:10 the start and the end point in the past.

1:46:12 It is done.

1:46:13 Okay, this is number one.

1:46:15 Point number one.

1:46:16 Two, it has a specific point in time or a specific time period it happened.

1:46:23 Okay, so we know when the start point was and we know when the end point was.

1:46:29 Okay, there's a specific or clear point in time the action happened.

1:46:33 All right.

1:46:34 Third, we can use simple past tense for repeated past actions.

1:46:40 This I showed here in green.

1:46:42 Repeated past actions.

1:46:44 Okay.

1:46:44 For example, every month or every spring or every year.

1:46:48 Okay.

1:46:49 So, today we're going to practice these types.

1:46:52 We're going to focus mostly on the first use of simple past tense.

1:46:58 Okay?

1:46:58 But if you want to, you can get

1:47:00 creative and use the repeated past action form also.

1:47:03 All right, so let's begin with an easy warm-up.

1:47:06 Let's make some simple simple past tense sentences.

1:47:10 Okay, you can send your simple past tense sentences

1:47:12 in the chat and I will check them live.

1:47:14 Hello to everybody who is joining now.

1:47:16 Welcome.

1:47:17 Okay, let's go to the first example sentence,

1:47:21 which is I went to the office yesterday.

1:47:24 I went to the office yesterday.

1:47:26 The past tense verb here is went.

1:47:28 Yeah, I went.

1:47:30 This is the past tense form of go.

1:47:32 Yeah, go becomes went.

1:47:34 This is an irregular past tense verb.

1:47:38 Here I have yesterday as my specific point in time.

1:47:42 We use went and it shows the action is complete.

1:47:46 Okay, got it.

1:47:48 Let's continue on to the next example sentence.

1:47:51 Control desk, can we maybe like go down on the screen here?

1:47:53 Thank you so much.

1:47:54 So, let's go to the next example sentence.

1:47:57 We had coffee last week.

1:47:58 We had coffee last week.

1:48:00 Thank you.

1:48:01 So, here is our past tense.

1:48:03 We had We had coffee.

1:48:06 Yes, you can change this to the verb drank.

1:48:09 That's fine.

1:48:10 But we had coffee last week sounds very natural also in this sentence.

1:48:15 We have last week as our specific point in time.

1:48:19 Okay.

1:48:20 All right.

1:48:20 Let's continue quickly on I see some examples coming in.

1:48:23 Uh, someone on Facebook wrote, "I went to the mall last night." Nice one.

1:48:27 Great simple past tense.

1:48:28 Alex wrote, "I said hello to the teacher." Great one.

1:48:31 Okay, nice one.

1:48:32 Okay, let's continue.

1:48:33 I'll come back in just a second to the chat.

1:48:36 The third example, she helped me study.

1:48:39 She helped me study.

1:48:41 Here we have our past tense helped.

1:48:43 Helped.

1:48:44 This comes from the verb help, right?

1:48:46 This is a regular past tense verb.

1:48:48 Help becomes help.

1:48:50 You'll notice here there's no clear point in time, right?

1:48:55 In this situation, we can maybe guess from the context, right?

1:49:00 Like, oh yeah, I know her.

1:49:01 She helped me study once before.

1:49:04 We can use it in this way.

1:49:06 There's not always a specific point in time.

1:49:09 Sometimes it's okay not to use it.

1:49:11 Okay?

1:49:12 Like when is not so important.

1:49:14 Maybe we just want to mention the action started and finished in the past.

1:49:19 This is okay to do too.

1:49:21 Okay, let's go to the next one.

1:49:23 They planned a trip.

1:49:25 Another one that has no specific point in time.

1:49:28 They planned.

1:49:30 So, planned is the past tense form of plan.

1:49:32 Yeah, another regular past tense form.

1:49:35 They planned a trip when?

1:49:37 We don't have it in this sentence, but grammatically it's still correct to use.

1:49:42 We just want to say they did this and it concluded.

1:49:46 It finished at some point in the past.

1:49:48 Okay, last one.

1:49:50 He didn't leave the house.

1:49:52 He didn't leave the house.

1:49:54 We could say he didn't leave the house today or yesterday if we want to.

1:49:58 This uses a negative.

1:50:00 He didn't leave.

1:50:03 In the negative form, we do not change the verb.

1:50:07 In this case, leave.

1:50:08 There's no change.

1:50:09 However, we change didn't or rather we change do

1:50:13 not to did not to make the past tense form.

1:50:17 Okay?

1:50:18 So, we use this to talk about actions that started and ended in the past.

1:50:23 This is very important.

1:50:24 We're going to talk about a different grammar point

1:50:27 in part two and how to use them together.

1:50:29 Let me check your examples.

1:50:31 Um, Ericson wrote, "I wrote a letter to my teacher." Perfect.

1:50:35 Nice one.

1:50:36 Um, I'm looking for questions about today's topic.

1:50:40 Um, Patton's nerd wrote, "I used to ah,

1:50:43 so to go play hockey every day." Just say go or just say, uh, play.

1:50:48 Choose one verb there.

1:50:49 I used to play hockey every day.

1:50:51 So, yes, you've used to in that sentence to talk about a repeated past action.

1:50:57 Okay.

1:50:58 Little different from today's grammar point,

1:51:00 but I used to play hockey every day is okay.

1:51:03 Uh, Inazuma Marble wrote, "I helped her study last week for an exam she had uh,

1:51:09 maybe the next semester." So,

1:51:10 I helped her study last week for an exam she has next semester, right?

1:51:16 You're helping her study last week and she

1:51:18 has an exam in the following semester, maybe is what you want to say.

1:51:22 Uh, Kashoff wrote, "I drank apple juice

1:51:24 a day before yesterday." Very, very good to know.

1:51:26 Nice one.

1:51:27 And Patrick wrote, "My mom bought me a t-shirt last week." Great job, everybody.

1:51:32 Okay, looks good.

1:51:33 So, with this in mind, nice easy warm-up.

1:51:36 Let's continue to part two.

1:51:38 Okay, part two, we're going to talk about past progressive tense.

1:51:43 Okay, so I hope that you're excited about this.

1:51:45 This is a good one to know, good one to practice.

1:51:47 Okay, also, if you haven't,

1:51:49 don't forget there's a free PDF page from the link below

1:51:52 the video if you want to get all of those for free.

1:51:55 I'll tell you again later.

1:51:56 I'll show it on the big screen again.

1:51:58 For now, let's continue to the past progressive grammar point.

1:52:02 When should we use past progressive?

1:52:05 First, we use this for temporary actions in the past.

1:52:10 Key point here.

1:52:12 Please write this one down in your notebook.

1:52:14 Temporary means short time.

1:52:17 They continue for a short time.

1:52:19 If we imagine this on a timeline where here is the present and here is the past.

1:52:26 A temporary action continues and then ends at some point.

1:52:30 We want to talk about something that was a shortterm action.

1:52:34 Okay, we do this with past progressive.

1:52:37 Maybe you know present progressive.

1:52:39 For example, I am teaching, right?

1:52:42 Something that is temporary now.

1:52:44 Yeah, we can use past progressive to talk about an action in the past

1:52:49 that was continuing like last week at this time I was teaching, right?

1:52:54 Same idea.

1:52:55 Okay, let's look at the second point.

1:52:58 They often have a specific point in time, but not always.

1:53:03 They often have a specific point in time, but not always.

1:53:06 So, you can use a point in time or a period

1:53:10 of time when you talk about this grammar point.

1:53:12 It's okay to do.

1:53:13 It's okay not to do.

1:53:15 Just like in the first part too.

1:53:17 Sometimes we don't include the point

1:53:19 in time because we understand from the conversation.

1:53:23 Okay.

1:53:23 So, we have some interesting points to talk about here.

1:53:26 So, let's get into uh the basic examples first

1:53:30 and you can send your examples in the chat.

1:53:32 Okay.

1:53:33 First, I was doing my homework at 8:00 p.m.

1:53:36 last night.

1:53:37 I was doing my homework at 8 p.m.

1:53:39 So, where is the past progressive?

1:53:41 It is right here.

1:53:42 I was doing.

1:53:43 I was doing.

1:53:45 To make the past progressive,

1:53:46 we use the be verb in the past tense plus a verb in the ing form.

1:53:52 Make sure the be verb matches your subject.

1:53:56 So, I was or he was or she was, right?

1:54:00 They were, right?

1:54:01 So, make sure this B verb matches your subject.

1:54:05 Then, ing.

1:54:06 I was doing my homework at 8:00 p.m.

1:54:09 last night.

1:54:10 In this example sentence, I have a specific point in time.

1:54:14 At 800 PM last night, so I have this clear time the action was continuing.

1:54:21 So this doesn't mean only for one minute.

1:54:24 At exactly 8:00 p.m.

1:54:26 It means around that time.

1:54:28 It doesn't mean exactly only for one minute.

1:54:31 Okay?

1:54:31 This means around 8:00 p.m.

1:54:34 Right?

1:54:34 I want to just talk about generally that time period.

1:54:38 Okay?

1:54:38 Let's look at the second basic example.

1:54:41 He was driving to work at 9 this morning.

1:54:44 He was driving to work at 9 this morning.

1:54:46 Here we have Ah, where did my pen go?

1:54:50 He was driving to work.

1:54:51 I want to write a red line.

1:54:53 Ah, there we go.

1:54:53 Okay.

1:54:54 He was driving to work at 9 this morning.

1:54:57 Same idea here.

1:54:58 We have was driving.

1:55:01 We have the was be verb to match our subject he ing

1:55:06 verb form and a specific point in time at 9 this morning.

1:55:10 Right?

1:55:11 So again this means around 9 this morning this was his temporary action.

1:55:17 Okay?

1:55:18 Maybe it took 30 minutes to drive to work but we just

1:55:21 want to say at 9 that's what he was doing at that time.

1:55:25 Okay.

1:55:26 Let me check the chat real quick.

1:55:27 Oh great.

1:55:28 Some good ones are coming in.

1:55:30 Sita wrote, "I was cleaning the room when she came." Oh,

1:55:32 Sita, you're moving on to the next point already.

1:55:35 Nice sentence, Sita.

1:55:36 Okay.

1:55:36 Uh, the Black Eagle wrote, "My aunt was making spaghetti at noon." Good.

1:55:40 Okay.

1:55:41 Uh, Kashoff wrote, "I was eating at 8:00 p.m.

1:55:44 Nice examples, everybody." Uh, oh, Natalie has one.

1:55:46 I was preparing dinner for my family last night.

1:55:49 Okay.

1:55:50 Nice.

1:55:50 Nice examples.

1:55:51 Now, let's level up.

1:55:52 I have two points uh here to use to level up your past progressive sentences.

1:55:59 They are using when and while to connect

1:56:03 two other things to connect two other actions.

1:56:07 What do I mean?

1:56:07 Let's look.

1:56:08 So first we can make an interrupted action sentence with when

1:56:14 I think Sida sent us a great example in the chat already.

1:56:18 So what does this mean?

1:56:19 It means we can describe a temporary action that is interrupted

1:56:25 here like on the timeline interrupted by another past tense action.

1:56:32 Okay.

1:56:33 So we can combine we can put these two grammar points together with when.

1:56:40 Okay.

1:56:42 This is how we use when together.

1:56:45 All right.

1:56:45 Very different from while.

1:56:47 We'll talk about in a moment.

1:56:48 Let's look at one example here.

1:56:50 He was cleaning his house when the electricity went out.

1:56:55 Oh no.

1:56:55 He was cleaning his house when the electricity went out.

1:56:58 This might be a new vocabulary word.

1:57:00 The electricity went out.

1:57:02 That means the power the electric power in your house stopped.

1:57:07 Okay, we use the verb to go out or past tense went out.

1:57:12 The electricity went out.

1:57:13 So let's break down the grammar in this sentence.

1:57:16 We have the past progressive here.

1:57:18 He was cleaning, right?

1:57:21 He was cleaning his house when this word marks the point of interruption.

1:57:26 Okay?

1:57:27 Tells us an interruption or a change in the temporary continuing action.

1:57:33 Then we change to past tense.

1:57:36 The electricity went out.

1:57:38 Okay?

1:57:39 So, we can use past progressive and simple

1:57:42 past tense together with an interrupted action like this.

1:57:46 We'll use when.

1:57:47 I'll show you another example in the story in just a moment.

1:57:50 Okay, some examples are coming in.

1:57:52 Great.

1:57:53 Uh, Ina Zuma wrote, "She was doing her school project at 700 p.m.

1:57:57 last night." Just get rid of that first.

1:57:59 Last, maybe just a typing mistake.

1:58:01 Yeah.

1:58:01 Uh, P who wrote, "I was doing something when you came here." Okay.

1:58:05 Vague, but good.

1:58:06 Vague, but good.

1:58:07 Grammar.

1:58:08 grammar is correct.

1:58:09 Uh patents, uh you have we was at highway.

1:58:13 We were.

1:58:14 Make sure your be verb matches your subject.

1:58:16 Yeah, we were.

1:58:18 Right.

1:58:19 Was is for I was.

1:58:20 He was.

1:58:21 She was.

1:58:22 It was.

1:58:22 When you use the subject, we we were.

1:58:26 Yeah.

1:58:26 Watch out for that and then try again.

1:58:28 Let's see others.

1:58:29 P who has another one.

1:58:30 I was eating food when the Don't forget the when the electricity went out.

1:58:35 Okay.

1:58:36 Kash.

1:58:37 I was doing my homework when my ink ah good

1:58:39 guess goes out should be when my ink ran out.

1:58:42 We say to run out of something.

1:58:45 When we have no more supply like when your ink in your pen you have no more.

1:58:50 We say it ran out.

1:58:52 Why do we use run for that?

1:58:54 I don't know.

1:58:54 Run has lots and lots of uses.

1:58:56 Something crazy like 141 I think.

1:58:58 So don't worry if it's confusing.

1:59:00 That's just the way it is.

1:59:01 So my ink ran out.

1:59:03 Uh, Ericson wrote, "I was walking down the street
