01:31 before they expired . Yeah . Mhm Hi everybody welcome
01:43 back to ask Alicia the weekly series where you ask
01:46 me questions and I answer them . Maybe let's get
01:49 to your first question this week . First question this
01:51 week comes from Zakaria flip flop high Zakaria . Zakaria
01:56 says , hi Alicia , could you please tell me
01:59 why we sometimes use the verb do before another verb
02:03 . Thank you . Yeah sure . I've talked about
02:04 this before in the series but we use do before
02:09 another verb when we want to emphasize the opposite of
02:12 something . So let's take a look at a few
02:14 pairs of sentences to see how this works . Sorry
02:18 I don't have time to help you right now ,
02:20 but you do have time , you're just looking at
02:23 facebook and I don't know anything about today's meeting .
02:27 Just that they're making a big announcement . Uh huh
02:30 . So you do know something . Okay . So
02:33 in both of these example sentences we have a person
02:36 A . And person B . Person A . Says
02:39 something to the effective I don't know something or I
02:42 can't do something or I don't have time to help
02:44 you as with person A . In both of these
02:47 examples and then person B notices something about person A
02:51 or about the things that person A . Said and
02:54 they emphasize no that's not true and they do this
02:58 by including do before the verb . So in the
03:02 first example situation the person person A . In this
03:05 situation said I don't have time to help you right
03:08 now , that person be said . You do have
03:11 time . So you'll often hear do emphasize before the
03:14 verb that follows to show that's not true . So
03:18 that emphasis in the speaker's voice means that's not true
03:21 or the opposite of that is true . And the
03:23 reason is that person be presumably or we think sees
03:27 person A looking at facebook . The same thing happens
03:30 in the second situation , Person A . Says I
03:33 don't know anything about the meeting just that there's gonna
03:36 be a big announcement . And so person B understands
03:39 . Wait , so you do know something about the
03:42 meeting again ? Do proceeds or comes before the verb
03:46 . No , they're so speaker B is emphasizing that
03:49 the speaker that speaker a rather actually does know something
03:53 . So we're using do before the verb as emphasis
03:57 in this way . So I hope that this helps
04:00 you . Thanks very much for an interesting question .
04:02 All right , let's move on to our next question
04:04 . Next question comes from Emma . Hi Emma .
04:07 Emma says , hi Alicia . I would like to
04:09 know if there are differences between a while for a
04:13 while and in a while if there is . Can
04:16 you explain ? Thanks so much . Sure . Awhile
04:19 means a period of time . So we use for
04:22 a while and in a while quite differently for a
04:26 while is used when we're talking about a duration of
04:30 time , we're using it to talk about the length
04:32 of time that something happens . So duration is really
04:36 the key here . Let's take a look at a
04:38 few example sentences . I stayed in the restaurant for
04:41 a while after I finished eating . I'm gonna take
04:45 a walk around the neighborhood for a while . I
04:48 traveled around Europe for a while when I was in
04:50 my 20's . Okay , so let's compare this then
04:54 to in a while when we use in a while
04:57 , we're talking about an upcoming activities , so this
05:00 is not something that's going to happen now , but
05:03 it's going to happen soon . So if it's helpful
05:06 , you can think about replacing soon for in a
05:10 while in the sentence , it has the same meaning
05:13 . Let's look at some examples of this . I'm
05:15 going to leave the office in a while , we're
05:18 going to go to the coffee shop in a while
05:19 , you want anything . So a question that maybe
05:22 some of you have is what's the difference between these
05:25 two sentences , sentences like these ? Like , I'm
05:28 gonna walk around the neighborhood for a while and I'm
05:31 going to walk around the neighborhood in a while so
05:34 they seem very similar . But the for a while
05:36 sentence would be said by somebody who is probably leaving
05:40 now . Like they are leaving their house now and
05:43 they just want to report to someone their upcoming activity
05:46 , they're going out of the house to walk around
05:48 the neighborhood for a period of time . That's the
05:51 duration of the activity . On the other hand ,
05:53 the in awhile sentence is like they're sharing their upcoming
05:57 plan with someone possibly to invite them . Like I'm
06:01 gonna walk around the neighborhood in a while . Do
06:03 you want to come ? So these are the small
06:05 differences that are proposition choices can make , especially with
06:09 an expression like a while . So I hope that
06:12 this helps you . Thanks very much for the question
06:14 . Okay , let's move on to our next question
06:16 . Next question is from Sung wan hai san juan
06:21 san juan says hi Alicia . What does literally mean
06:24 ? Do people use it the wrong way ? Yeah
06:27 . Okay literally means the ordinary or the simple meaning
06:31 of a word . It can also mean like truly
06:34 exactly and so on . So it is used for
06:37 emphasis yes but it's also used incorrectly a lot first
06:42 let's take a look at the correct way to use
06:45 literally for example , we raise literally hundreds of dollars
06:50 at the fundraiser . He got his hands dirty literally
06:54 helping out at the farm for a T . V
06:56 . Show . Okay so these two example sentences show
07:00 correct usage of the word literally in the first example
07:04 it's literally hundreds . So the speaker wants to emphasize
07:08 that exactly , really , truly hundreds of dollars were
07:12 raised in a fundraiser . The reason that we use
07:14 literally here is because we want to express that this
07:17 is not an exaggeration . So an exaggeration means something
07:21 that sounds like it's better or bigger than it actually
07:24 is . So the speaker wants to communicate , it
07:26 was truly hundreds of dollars . They use literally to
07:30 do that . In the second example sentence about someone
07:33 getting his hands dirty . The speaker wants to communicate
07:37 that actually the tv host in this case truly did
07:41 physically literally get his hands dirty in the process of
07:44 making a T . V . Show . So there
07:46 are two reasons that we use literally in this way
07:50 . The first as in with the first example sentence
07:53 is to show that something is not being exaggerated like
07:56 the number or the amount that's described in the sentence
07:59 is truly the number . So we're not just doing
08:02 it for effect literally some amount . You may see
08:05 this used the second use though , as we see
08:08 in the second example sentence is with these expressions that
08:11 have kind of double meanings , so get one's hands
08:15 dirty or to get your hands dirty has two meanings
08:18 . Yes , there's the literal meaning which is as
08:21 it's written on the page for your hands to physically
08:24 become dirty , but there's also another meaning to this
08:27 phrase which is to do the work yourself to actually
08:30 do work . So to get your hands dirty can
08:33 have two meanings . The speaker using literally in the
08:37 second example sentence means they want to emphasize that real
08:41 true meaning of getting your hands dirty , like physically
08:45 having dirt on your hands . So these are the
08:47 two reasons that we use literally for emphasis to make
08:50 sure that we're not accidentally exaggerating and to to make
08:55 it clear that we mean the actual simple meaning of
08:58 an expression . So again , to return to your
09:00 second question literally is misused all the time . Native
09:05 speakers want to use it for emphasis but they use
09:08 it incorrectly . So let's take a look at two
09:11 examples that are great examples of misuse of the word
09:15 , literally I'm literally starving , can we go to
09:19 lunch and there were literally millions of people at my
09:23 house last night . Okay , so in both of
09:26 these example sentences literally is used incorrectly , literally starving
09:31 in the first sentence . So the problem here is
09:33 that the speaker is probably not actually starving , starving
09:38 means they are so hungry that they are actually dying
09:41 , so literally starving is untrue . The speaker is
09:44 probably not actually starving , they just want to express
09:48 that they are very hungry . The correct way to
09:51 express that would just be to say I'm starving ,
09:54 that's fine , you don't need to use literally in
09:56 this sentence , but this is something native speakers probably
09:59 say all the time . The second example sentence uses
10:02 literally with a number , as in there were literally
10:05 millions of people in my house last night . So
10:08 it's not possible for millions of people to be in
10:10 someone's house . The speaker just wants to emphasize how
10:14 many people were at his or her home the previous
10:16 night . So using literally as unnecessary here , you
10:20 could just say there were so many people in my
10:22 house last night or there were millions of people at
10:24 my house last night . If you just drop literally
10:27 from the sentence , we understand that you're exaggerating .
10:31 So yes , literally is used incorrectly all the time
10:35 and it's usually for these emphasis reasons . So I
10:38 hope that this answer helps you . It's a very
10:40 interesting question . Thanks very much for sending it along
10:42 . Okay , let's move on to your next question
10:45 . Next question comes from Andrew , Hi Andrew ,
10:48 Andrew says what's the meaning of ball game as in
10:51 Youtube comments are a whole other ballgame ? Is this
10:55 a question about something I tweeted ? That's funny .
10:57 Ballgame here means situation , situation . So when we
11:02 say a whole other ballgame , this is actually a
11:04 set phrase , a whole other ballgame means or is
11:08 used rather in situations where we're talking about one topic
11:12 and then a second topic is introduced and the two
11:15 are very different . So something something is a whole
11:18 other ballgame means that second thing has like different rules
11:22 and different standards from the first thing . So in
11:25 the tweet that you took this expression from , I
11:27 was talking about the differences between instagram direct messages ,
11:31 like random messages on instagram and then another person commented
11:35 , like joined my conversation on twitter and said something
11:38 about Youtube comments . And I responded , yeah ,
11:40 youtube comments are a whole other ballgame . So that
11:44 means instagram direct messages . Random messages on instagram are
11:47 completely different than Youtube comments . So a whole other
11:51 ballgame means it's a whole other situation . I hope
11:54 that this helps you . Thanks for the question .
11:56 Okay , let's move on to our next question .
11:58 Next question comes from Claudia . Hi Claudia , Claudia
12:02 says , what is the difference between outcome and results
12:06 ? Nice question . While in many cases they can
12:09 be used in similar ways and to refer to very
12:12 similar things . The difference here is in like the
12:16 process . So we use results when we've done like
12:20 work or research or were actually like actively trying to
12:25 do something , we're actually trying to achieve something or
12:28 to accomplish something . So we use this like when
12:31 we're doing mathematical equations or as I said , like
12:34 when we're doing research , maybe , or we're working
12:37 together with teammates to achieve some kind of goal .
12:40 That's when we use result outcome . On the other
12:43 hand , it's kind of like just the way things
12:45 ended up , so it's like maybe there wasn't so
12:48 much work to achieve a specific goal , but at
12:51 the end of the situation , this was like the
12:54 thing that we ended up with . So let's take
12:57 a look at a few examples . My research results
13:01 showed that the new medication was effective , the test
13:04 results were positive , everyone expected negative outcomes after the
13:08 government's policy change , it wasn't possible to predict these
13:13 outcomes . So the feeling here is that result is
13:16 something that someone or some group of people worked to
13:19 achieve worked to get outcome is kind of like ,
13:22 this is just the way that things are . So
13:24 yes , in some situations you may be able to
13:27 use both like for example research results or maybe research
13:30 outcomes . But again , when you use outcomes it
13:33 sounds like this is just the way it is .
13:34 Whereas results sounds a little bit more like we tried
13:37 . So this is kind of the difference in feeling
13:40 between these words . I hope that it helps you
13:42 . Thanks for the question . Hi everybody . Welcome
13:44 back to ask Alicia the weekly series where you ask
13:47 me questions and I answer them . Maybe . Okay
13:50 , let's get to your first question this week .
13:52 First question this week comes from Emma . Hi Emma
13:55 . Emma says hi Alicia , can you explain the
13:59 difference between will and be going to and will be
14:03 doing or be going to be doing ? I would
14:06 like to know when we use continuous forms instead of
14:09 just using simple future tense . Sure , we use
14:13 the continuous form when we want to talk about a
14:15 future plan that we think will be in progress .
14:18 So let's compare two example sentences . I'm going to
14:22 start working in a new company soon . Three months
14:25 from now . I'm going to be working in a
14:27 new company . So in the first example sentence ,
14:31 I'm going to start working in a new company soon
14:33 . We're talking about a future plan . We're just
14:36 using simple future tense , going to there to express
14:40 a future plan , a future action in this case
14:42 using going to because we're quite sure about that plan
14:46 in the second example sentence , however , three months
14:49 from now I'm going to be working so we're using
14:53 a time period or rather a point in time in
14:56 the future . Three months from now . That means
14:58 I'm indicating or I want to refer to a specific
15:02 point in time in the future and talk about an
15:05 action that I think will be ongoing at that future
15:09 point in time . In those cases we use will
15:13 be going to or going to be going to or
15:15 something like that , going to be plus the I
15:17 N G form of the verb . So we use
15:20 that form to refer to an ongoing thing that we
15:24 think will happen at a specific point in the future
15:27 . You can just use the simple future tense will
15:29 and going to to talk about general future plans without
15:32 a specific point in time . But if you want
15:35 to talk about something in the future , like a
15:37 month from now or two months from now or years
15:40 from now or whatever and you want to express a
15:42 plan or some idea you have about something that will
15:45 happen or be happening at that time . You can
15:48 use will be going to are going to be plus
15:52 the I N . G . Form of over so
15:54 I hope that this helps you . Thanks for the
15:56 question . Okay let's move on to your next question
15:59 . Next question comes from our zoo high . Arzu
16:03 Arzu says hi Alicia could you explain the difference between
16:07 roughly approximately and nearly ? Yeah sure roughly and approximately
16:13 . Mean the same thing . They both mean about
16:15 the difference between these two words is that approximately sounds
16:19 more formal than roughly ? So you would see approximately
16:24 used in very formal writing in like scientific papers in
16:28 situations where you need to express data you might hear
16:31 roughly in everyday conversation used in place of about .
16:36 So there's no meaning difference here . It's just a
16:39 formality difference . Some examples Roughly 50 people attended the
16:43 event . Approximately 100 people responded to our survey on
16:49 the other hand nearly means almost a certain amount .
16:53 So we use nearly before a number to express that
16:58 we were very , very close to that number ,
17:00 but not quite . So this does not mean about
17:04 it means very close to the number , but not
17:07 exactly that amount . So for example , we could
17:10 say nearly 50 people attended our event or nearly 100
17:15 people responded to our survey . So that means not
17:18 quite 50 people attended or not quite 100 people responded
17:23 , but it was very , very close . So
17:25 in some approximately and roughly have the same meaning ,
17:28 just different levels of formality merely means almost but not
17:33 quite or very close , but not quite . So
17:35 I hope that this helps you . Thanks for the
17:37 question . Okay , let's move on to your next
17:39 question . Next question comes from mindful Alex , Hi
17:43 mindful Alex . Mindful Alex says , hi Alicia ,
17:46 what tense , present or future must follow . A
17:49 command clause . For example , one , let me
17:52 know what you find versus let me know what you
17:56 will find to let me know what you find versus
18:00 tell me what you will find . Thanks a lot
18:02 . Yes . You need to use present tense in
18:05 these example sentences . So in your case the correct
18:08 answers would be let me know what you find and
18:11 tell me what you find . The same thing is
18:14 true if you change the subject . So for example
18:17 , if you're requesting an update from a third person
18:20 meaning from someone outside the conversation , you can say
18:23 , let me know what he finds or tell me
18:27 what she finds . So you still need to follow
18:30 this present tense rule . We can't use the infinitive
18:33 form of the verb there . So these are examples
18:36 of what are called embedded questions . There are questions
18:39 that are like inside another question or their questions that
18:43 are inside of a statement . So like tell me
18:45 what you find , you can see that what you
18:48 find is kind of like a question , but it
18:50 follows a different word order . So we follow that
18:53 subject verb object order inside embedded questions . If you
18:57 want to know more about this grammar point , you
18:59 can do a search for embedded questions to find some
19:01 more information . I've talked about this here and there
19:04 in some live streams in the past . So I
19:06 hope that that's helpful for you . So yes ,
19:08 in some you need to use a present tense verb
19:11 in a case like this . Keep in mind you
19:13 can also use past tense if you want to as
19:15 well . I hope this is helpful for you .
19:17 Thanks for the question . Okay , let's move on
19:19 to your next question . Next question comes from alejandra
19:24 . Hi alejandra , alejandra says , how do I
19:26 know when to reduce ? I have to I've and
19:30 when not to Is there any rule ? Yes .
19:33 When you are expressing ownership of something , you should
19:36 not use the reduced form . I've always use I
19:40 have like , I have a dog or I have
19:43 a house or I have a bag you should not
19:46 use I've in these cases you should , however ,
19:50 use I've and other reduced forms when you're using perfect
19:54 tense sentence structures . So , for example , I've
19:57 been to France or I've never eaten horse . So
20:01 when you're using that I have plus past participle verb
20:05 form , you can reduce the I have part two
20:08 , I've if you are talking about ownership of something
20:11 , you cannot reduce the I have to I .
20:14 So , yes , that is the rule in this
20:16 case for reduction . You may also hear the I
20:19 have and I have got to reduce to , I've
20:22 as , and I've got to do something , something
20:24 something , but this might be a little bit more
20:26 common in british english . Generally though you can consider
20:29 those first two rules I mentioned , I have for
20:32 ownership and I've for perfect tense structure , so I
20:36 hope that this helps you . Thanks for the question
20:38 . Okay , let's move on to your next question
20:41 . Next question comes from Rainaldi high Rinaldi . Rinaldi
20:45 says , hi , I'm from Indonesia . Sometimes someone
20:48 says opportunity and I'm confused about whether I should respond
20:52 with opportunity or chance . What's the difference between those
20:56 words and when is the right time to say them
20:58 ? Thanks . Okay . Um , opportunity tends to
21:02 sound more formal than chance . We tend to use
21:06 opportunity in cases where we have received an offer ,
21:10 some like special offer , like a job offer ,
21:12 a school offer or maybe an offer of money .
21:15 We are presented with some kind of like professional or
21:18 formal situation . Chance however , is used to refer
21:22 to situations that arise because of luck . So something
21:26 that happened because of look , we're not really offered
21:29 anything , but it's like the timing is just right
21:32 for a situation and we have this chance , we
21:36 have this option to take advantage of that situation .
21:40 So to take advantage of something means that we can
21:42 try to do something that would be to our benefit
21:46 in that situation . So opportunity sounds more formal .
21:49 It's like something is presented to you like a job
21:52 as I said , chances more like for games perhaps
21:55 or just something that happens at random and that you
21:59 maybe can take advantage of , you can maybe find
22:02 some benefits in . So let's take a look at
22:04 some example sentences I have two great job opportunities to
22:07 consider . Thanks very much for this opportunity . My
22:11 flight was delayed so I had a chance to check
22:13 out the airport lounge . I haven't had a chance
22:16 to read that book . How are your english listening
22:19 skills 1st ? You'll see an image and here a
22:22 question . Next comes a short dialogue . Listen carefully
22:26 and see if you can answer correctly . We'll show
22:29 you the answer at the end . A man and
22:33 a woman are talking . When are they going to
22:36 get a massage ? My friend just opened a new
22:42 massage place a massage place I want to go .
22:48 Do you have time on saturday ? I'm busy saturday
22:52 . What about sunday ? They're closed on sunday .
22:56 How about friday ? Okay . When are they going
23:02 to get a massage ? A man and a woman
23:10 are talking ? When are they going to get a
23:13 massage ? My friend just opened a new massage place
23:19 a massage place . I want to go . Do
23:22 you have time on saturday ? I'm busy saturday .
23:26 What about sunday they are closed on sunday . How
23:31 about friday ? Okay . A woman working for the
23:38 design division is talking with her colleague from the research
23:41 and development team , choose the correct product packages .
23:50 We would like you to design packaging for our new
23:52 chocolate products . We are planning a dual product launch
23:56 . One is a sweet chocolate containing 30 Cacau .
24:00 The other is a bittersweet one with 80 Cacau .
24:05 All right . So do we want the 30 and
24:07 80 descriptions to stand out ? Yes . Maybe we
24:12 can have them in the center of the package or
24:14 use different colours . All right . For the sweet
24:18 chocolate . How about using a red box with black
24:21 letters saying 30% . And for the bitter sweet one
24:24 we can use a black box with red letters saying
24:27 80% right . Or how about using golden letters for
24:33 both ? I think that would be better for the
24:35 luxurious image . We're trying to create good idea .
24:39 I think we should also frame letters with white to
24:42 make them clearer As for the layout design . Would
24:45 it be okay to say Cacau on the upper left
24:48 ? Then a picture of the chocolate in the center
24:50 and the cockle percentage on the lower right . Yes
24:54 . And please use a bigger font for the percentage
24:57 . Also I'd like you to use a different font
24:59 style from the product name and make sure to make
25:02 it bold . Got it . We will send you
25:05 an email when the packages are ready . When do
25:08 you need them by ? Would it be possible to

27:10 coffee shop employees are talking about their sales , choose
27:15 the graph they are looking at . We had good
27:21 sales from december to february . Yes . The limited
27:25 edition items worked out very well . But I'm sorry
27:28 to see that the new product launched in March didn't
27:30 sell well and ended up dragging down overall sales for
27:34 that month . We had our worst sales numbers in
27:37 october and March in general , our sales were steadily
27:41 increasing , but october was the worst month of the
27:44 second half . In october , a competitor opened up
27:48 a shop nearby and at the beginning they lured in
27:51 our customers . I'm relieved to see that our customers
27:55 are coming back . Yes , that's good news .
27:58 Looking at our customer data by gender and age ,
28:01 we can see that more than half of our customers
28:04 are women in their 20s and 30s . This means
28:08 we will have to come up with some new campaign
28:10 ideas to keep those customers coming back . Besides our
28:15 regular coffee products , we can try to offer more
28:17 side dish choices . Yes , but about 20 of
28:22 our customers are men in their 20s and 30s .
28:25 So we need to think of services that appeal to
28:28 them as well , offering free wifi would appeal to
28:33 all customers in that age range . You're right .
28:37 Let's consider implementing that idea , choose the graph .
28:43 They are looking at . Uh huh . Coffee shop
28:50 employees are talking about their sales , choose the graph
28:55 they are looking at . We had good sales from
28:59 december to february . Yes , the limited edition items
29:03 worked out very well but I'm sorry to see that
29:05 the new product launched in March didn't sell well and
29:09 ended up dragging down overall sales for that month .
29:12 We had our worst sales numbers in october and March
29:16 in general , our sales were steadily increasing , but
29:19 october was the worst month of the second half .
29:23 In october , a competitor opened up a shop nearby
29:26 and at the beginning they lured in our customers .
29:30 I'm relieved to see that our customers are coming back
29:33 . Yes , that's good news . Looking at our
29:36 customer data by gender and age , we can see
29:39 that more than half of our customers are women in
29:42 their 20s and 30s . This means we will have
29:45 to come up with some new campaign ideas to keep

30:07 . Offering free wifi would appeal to all customers in
30:11 that age range . You're right . Let's consider implementing
30:15 that idea . A man is making a complaint about
30:20 products he bought online . What is he going to
30:24 exchange ? Hello , this is the customer service line
30:31 . Hello , I just received a package from your
30:34 company but it is not what I ordered . I'm
30:37 sorry what exactly was wrong ? I ordered a jacket
30:41 with three buttons but the one I got has only
30:44 two . I see that must be a wrong model
30:47 . We are terribly sorry about it . We will
30:49 exchange that right away if you just use the prepaid
30:52 return shipping label included in your package to send it
30:56 back . Great . Also this shirt looks different from
31:00 the one I saw on your website . It's not
31:02 what I expected . So I want to return it
31:04 as well . How is it different ? I thought
31:09 it was a T shirt without a collar but it
31:11 turned out to be a polo shirt with a collar
31:14 . I see . Have you already cut the tag
31:16 off ? Yes I have . But this is really
31:20 not what is pictured on the website . Can I
31:22 still return it sir ? We do have this shirt
31:25 both with and without the collar . Our data shows
31:29 that you chose the one with it . Really ?
31:32 Then I must have clicked the wrong item . We
31:35 can exchange a product as long as the tag is
31:37 attached but it would be difficult to do so if
31:40 it is already cut off . I see then can
31:44 you just exchange the jacket please ? Of course .
31:47 Again we're sorry for the inconvenience . What is he
31:54 going to exchange ? A man is making a complaint
32:02 about products he bought online . What is he going
32:07 to exchange ? Hello this is the customer service line
32:12 . Hello I just received a package from your company
32:15 but it is not what I ordered . I'm sorry
32:18 what exactly was wrong ? I ordered a jacket with
32:21 three buttons but the one I got has only two
32:25 . I see that must be a wrong model .
32:28 We are terribly sorry about it . We will exchange
32:30 that right away if you just use the prepaid return
32:33 shipping label included in your package to send it back
32:37 . Great . Also this shirt looks different from the
32:40 one I saw on your website . It's not what
32:43 I expected . So I want to return it as
32:45 well . How is it different ? I thought it
32:49 was a T shirt without a collar but it turned
32:52 out to be a polo shirt with a collar .
32:55 I see . Have you already cut the tag off
32:58 ? Yes I have but this is really not what
33:01 is pictured on the website . Can I still return
33:03 it sir ? We do have this shirt both with
33:07 and without the collar . Our data shows that you
33:09 chose the one with it . Really . Then I
33:12 must have clicked the wrong item . We can exchange
33:16 a product as long as the tag is attached ,
33:19 but it would be difficult to do so if it
33:21 is already cut off , I see . Then can
33:24 you just exchange the jacket please ? Of course .
33:28 Again we are sorry for the inconvenience . Hi everybody
33:32 . My name is Alicia in this lesson , I'm
33:35 going to talk about how to say thank you in
33:38 english . I'm also going to talk about some responses
33:41 that you can use if someone says thank you to
33:44 you . So let's get started by looking at some
33:46 expressions to say thank you in english first let's begin
33:50 with the most basic expression , thank you . So
33:54 thank you is easy to remember . It's polite and
33:58 you can use it in basically any situation you can
34:01 use it at work with your friends , whatever slightly
34:05 more casual is . Thanks . Thanks . So thanks
34:08 is good to use with friends or for small favors
34:12 . You cannot say thanks you however you can use
34:16 . Thank you or thanks . Some other things we
34:19 do with the expression thank you . Are we add
34:22 these two words to the end of it . We
34:25 use thank you very or thank you so much .
34:29 Thank you very much . Or thank you so much
34:32 . One thing we do when we use so is
34:35 we often make the o sound really long . Thank
34:38 you so much . So that can help us show
34:41 our appreciation in a more like kind of casual and
34:45 friendly way . The difference between so and vary here
34:48 is that so sounds more casual I would use so
34:52 with my friends and thank you very much in like
34:56 a work situation or some some situation where I want
34:59 to sound a little more polite . So thank you
35:02 so much . Thank you very much . Those sound
35:04 great , you can use them anytime . Let's look
35:08 at the next three . Then the next three here
35:11 I've marked as thank you expressions you can use when
35:15 you want to say thank you for a specific action
35:20 when you want to use like a verb , thank
35:22 you for doing some verb or when you want to
35:25 use like a specific noun . So this one this
35:28 thank you . There's nothing specific in this expression or
35:33 in these three expressions , we want to share something
35:36 specific . So these patterns are thank you for something
35:40 , something I . N . G . So thank
35:42 you for helping me for example or thank you for
35:46 cleaning the house . Uh Thank you for studying with
35:49 me for example . So in this pattern I'm using
35:52 the I . N . G . The progressive form
35:54 of the verb . You can change this like thank
35:58 you for the gift . Thank you for the present
36:00 . Thank you for your time for example . So
36:03 you can use a verb as I've done here or
36:06 a noun phrase . This one is similar . Many
36:09 thanks for something . So again we can use the
36:13 same I N . G form of the verb or
36:16 we can use a noun phrase . This sounds a
36:19 little bit more polite than this expression . Many thanks
36:23 for the meeting yesterday . Many thanks for helping me
36:28 with the files I needed to put together . So
36:31 this one sounds a little bit more formal . I
36:33 tend to use this one at the beginning of a
36:37 work email . Like many thanks for the information or
36:40 many thanks for the files . I like to use
36:43 this in work emails if you want to make it
36:46 even more formal you can try this one . I
36:50 greatly appreciate . I greatly appreciate your time or I
36:55 greatly appreciate you attending our conference this year . I
37:00 greatly appreciate all the work you did for the event
37:04 . So I greatly appreciate sounds really formal or when
37:07 you really really want to communicate strong thanks to someone
37:11 I greatly appreciate it greatly appreciate . So you can
37:15 choose a verb or pronoun to use here . Okay
37:19 , so as I said this one is rather formal
37:23 . Um we can use an expression like this when
37:26 we're working in like an organization . So I mentioned
37:29 in this case you might use it for like a
37:31 work situation . This next one is similar . We
37:35 express our sincere appreciation for something so we express this
37:41 , we means like our company , our team ,
37:44 our organization , we express so expressing , share or
37:49 say in some way communicate our sincere . So this
37:53 is like sincerely at the end of an email .
37:56 Like truly honestly genuinely we express our sincere appreciation are
38:02 like gratitude for this thing you did . So here
38:06 we see four which means we can follow the same
38:09 pattern actually you can remove this , we express our
38:12 sincere appreciation . That's fine . That becomes kind of
38:15 like a general thank you . But if you want
38:18 to make it specific you can add this for and
38:21 follow the same pattern we talked about for these phrases
38:25 so we express our sincere appreciation for your support .
38:29 For example , that's kind of a very uh company
38:32 or organization specific uh sentence or expression of gratitude .
38:38 We express our sincere appreciation for your donation for example
38:43 . So I feel perhaps this one might use noun
38:46 phrases more than verbs . Not always , but perhaps
38:49 more known phrases here . So yes , this is
38:53 good for formal situations , especially in organizations because we
38:58 use this , we hear of course you can change
39:02 these so that you use we or he or she
39:05 like , we greatly appreciate is fine to use as
39:08 well . Just depends on your situation . Anyway ,
39:12 let's continue on to the next expression , which is
39:15 thank you kindly for So you'll notice that this is
39:19 very similar to the like thank you or thank you
39:22 for . The difference here is we have this kindly
39:25 . So we're including kindly , which shows I feel
39:30 like kind of this gratitude and I want to express
39:34 that I have kind feelings for you , thank you
39:38 kindly for something . So it's a nice and also
39:41 kind of polite expression actually . So you might think
39:44 this sounds friendly , but this is something we use
39:47 more in work emails . I would not use this
39:50 with a friend actually , this would sound too polite
39:54 to use with a friend . So this is good
39:56 in work situations like thank you kindly for the email
40:00 . Thank you kindly for the files . Thank you
40:02 kindly for meeting with me this afternoon . So it
40:05 sounds formal and it's when you want to express that
40:08 kind of kind feeling as well . Okay let's go
40:12 to the next one . Um This one is thank
40:15 you for your understanding . This is a set phrase
40:19 so we don't change this part . This thank you
40:22 for your understanding . This always this remains the same
40:28 always . So thank you for your understanding , this
40:31 is a polite expression , we use it for changes
40:35 and for inconveniences . So let's say for example you
40:39 receive a letter in the mail and it's from like
40:42 your mobile phone company for example and they say there's
40:46 a change to your contract , thank you for your
40:49 understanding . So it's kind of sharing like some kind
40:52 of information . And this expression shows like we appreciate
40:57 in advance that you understand the situation . So it's
41:01 like we're gonna we're going to make this change .
41:04 So thank you , thank you for maybe not getting
41:07 angry or thank you for just um understanding the situation
41:12 really . So this is a formal expression used for
41:15 like changes to things and you'll also see it like
41:18 I said for inconveniences , for example , at like
41:22 a construction site , if there's lots of noise or
41:25 if it's really dirty and dusty , there might be
41:27 a sign that says , you know , construction in
41:29 progress , which means we're working now we're building something
41:33 now thank you for your understanding . So we appreciate
41:37 your understanding of the situation . So it's kind of
41:41 like an apology and thank you at the same time
41:45 . So this is a set phrase . You can
41:47 use this in your organization , in your company ,
41:50 but this is one that's too formal to use with
41:53 friends . I would not use this with friends .
41:55 Okay , let's move on to the next one .
41:58 I really appreciate it . So I have eye and
42:02 really in parentheses here because we can drop these from
42:07 the sentence and make a very formal . I'm sorry
42:10 , a very casual , this is a very casual
42:13 uh way to express thanks . So by that ,
42:17 I mean among friends will often just say appreciate it
42:21 or just appreciated as well . Uh if you want
42:25 to make a full sentence , you can say I
42:27 appreciate it or I really appreciate it . Those are
42:31 great too . You will hear native speakers just drop
42:34 it though , appreciate it . So it sounds friendly
42:37 , it sounds like you really express your thanks and
42:40 it's just kind of a quick expression that you can
42:43 use . So this is good for your co workers
42:45 and colleagues . You can use this with friends as
42:48 well . It won't sound too polite , so this
42:50 is great . Um Perhaps a little bit more um
42:54 polite then just thank you so you can use it
42:58 with friends . Like if your friend has done you
43:00 kind of an interesting favor , for example . Okay
43:04 , let's go on to the last one . The
43:07 last one is actually too , but this is kind
43:10 of um casual , friendly and perhaps unique to certain
43:18 people . So some people might choose to use these
43:21 , some people might not . Anyway , the expressions
43:24 are thanks a bunch and thanks a million . Thanks
43:27 a million . I'm a person who sometimes uses thanks
43:31 a bunch . So a bunch means a lot of
43:34 something . It's like saying thanks a lot but thanks
43:37 a bunch . Which is a casual word um is
43:40 less formal . It's very like mm it's very casual
43:45 . Something we would use with friends . I would
43:48 use this if my friend did something small that helped
43:52 me . Thanks a bunch . Um You might get
43:54 the feeling that it's used by people who have kind
43:57 of like an upbeat personality perhaps . Um I feel
44:01 that this tends to be used more among women actually
44:04 to Thanks a million . On the other hand ,
44:07 is one that I don't hear as often as thanks
44:10 a bunch . So again , a million . A
44:12 million is a big number . We do not say
44:15 thanks 100 or thanks 1000 or thanks a trillion .
44:18 We only say thanks a million . So again ,
44:21 this means thank you very much , really , but
44:24 it's a casual friendly way of saying it . Um
44:27 So like I said , I tend to hear a
44:30 bunch more and it tends to be used more for
44:33 women though , it's okay for men to use as
44:35 well . Um so thanks so much . Thanks a
44:38 million . Those are good ones to use with your
44:40 friends if you like . So to conclude then how
44:44 do you respond when someone says thank you . So
44:48 I made a big list of some very common responses
44:52 for thank you . So most of these we use
44:57 and they don't actually mean anything other than like agreement
45:02 . So at the top here is maybe my favorite
45:05 . Sure . So someone says thank you . I
45:07 say sure or I say sure thing , sure thing
45:10 . This is like it's a sure thing . So
45:13 it's kind of like saying it's it's real , it's
45:16 true . It's genuine . Sure thing . This is
45:19 another common one . That's very casual , very friendly
45:23 . Many people like to use one of these .
45:25 No problem , no problem or no . Prob No
45:30 prob so prob is just the short version . The
45:33 limb has been cut off problem . so no problem
45:37 . Is quite casual , more casual than no problem
45:40 . So , these are all okay to use at
45:43 work with your friends , with your family members .
45:45 I would not use them in a formal situation though
45:49 . Continuing you bet you bet . Again , another
45:53 one , it's like saying no problem , um not
45:57 a problem for me . Of course I will help
45:59 you , or of course , no problem , yep
46:02 . It's a like a casual way of saying yes
46:04 , yep , yep . Instead of yes , so
46:07 yes , sounds actually a little too polite . We
46:10 don't use yes , so much , we might say
46:12 , yep . Instead . Another one , no sweat
46:15 , no sweat is kind of cute . Uh no
46:18 sweat means like there's no reason for you to sweat
46:21 , so we sweat maybe when we get , of
46:24 course warm , but when we feel nervous or upset
46:28 or anxious about something , so no sweat means like
46:31 don't worry about it , it's not a problem ,
46:33 no sweat . So this one is quite friendly as
46:37 well . Another one for sure . This is similar
46:40 to sure . Uh so for sure is another very
46:43 positive , upbeat quick way to say a response to
46:47 thank you . This one is very common in work
46:51 situations and this is important . I've made this part
46:55 in capital letters , the you here , because the
46:59 emphasis on your response here is important . If someone
47:02 says thank you and you say no , thank you
47:05 , it's like showing that both parties , both people
47:09 did something that helps the other person . So for
47:12 example , if someone comes to set up the camera
47:15 for the shoot and I say thank you , they
47:18 might say no thank you because I'm going to make
47:21 something with what they've set up . So we're helping
47:24 each other so we can use an expression like this
47:27 , No , thank you . So your intonation matters
47:30 here . Okay . Another one is of course ,
47:34 of course . So it's like it's like saying ,
47:36 of course I would help you . Of course I
47:39 want to help you . Or like it was no
47:41 problem for me . Uh We have a good relationship
47:44 . That's the feeling here . I have included this
47:47 . You're welcome on the list , but this is
47:50 not used that often . It's correct to say if
47:52 someone says thank you , you're welcome , you can
47:55 use this . Um it's less friendly , I feel
47:59 than the other ones . You're welcome , you're welcome
48:02 . You can use this if you don't know the
48:04 other person or if it's yeah , it's like a
48:06 stranger . You might use this like a stranger holds
48:09 the door open for you and you say thank you
48:12 , that person might say you're welcome . So this
48:15 one is less familiar so you can use this .
48:18 Um But again perhaps something that's a little bit closer
48:22 , like in terms of relationship would be good .
48:25 Finally . Not at all . Not at all .
48:28 It's like no problem , no problem . So if
48:30 someone says thank you , you can say not at
48:33 all , it's like it means like it was no
48:34 trouble for me , it was no problem for me
48:38 . So we can use all of these to respond
48:40 to thank you . Um In most cases um you
48:45 can apply them to any of these situations like thank
48:48 you if someone says thank you sure sure thing ,
48:51 yep , no sweat , you can use all of
48:53 them if you want and you can combine them but
48:56 generally just choose one that's fine and try to use
48:59 a mix of these two respond . Um Keep in
49:02 mind though that if someone uses a more formal expression
49:06 , like I greatly appreciate your help or we express
49:09 our sincere appreciation for your response should be kind of
49:15 matching in that formality level . So we express our
49:19 sincere appreciation for your support . If you see that
49:22 then you might use like um like for example we
49:27 really appreciate the opportunity to work with you . So
49:31 something like that where you kind of return the same
49:35 expression might be better than just using a casual expression
49:39 like these for conversation . So you can kind of
49:42 feel that um as you may be level up your
49:45 ways to say thank you . But in general these
49:48 are some pretty good responses for you to start with
49:51 . Okay so I'm gonna end there . I hope
49:54 that that was helpful for you . If you have
49:56 any questions or comments or have some different ways to
49:59 say thank you . There are many or some different
50:01 responses . There are many . Please let us know

50:18 very much for watching this lesson and I will see
50:20 you again soon . Bye bye . Hi everybody .
50:24 My name is Alicia In this lesson , I'm going
50:26 to talk about phrase all verbs that use go so
50:30 remember a phrase All verb is a verb plus a
50:33 proposition and then sometimes something extra . So today I'm
50:37 going to introduce a few common phrase . All verbs
50:39 with go that maybe you haven't heard of . There
50:43 are quite a lot with this verb . So I
50:45 want to introduce some that hopefully you can use right
50:48 away . Let's get started . Ok . The first
50:51 phrase , all verb I want to talk about is
50:53 go ahead , go ahead . This means permission or
50:58 encouragement to do something before others . So I've noticed
51:03 on this channel for example , many viewers like to
51:06 use go ahead , but they mean please continue ,
51:10 go ahead , does not have the meaning of please
51:13 continue something . It means feel free to do something
51:18 before me . So an example of using go ahead
51:23 might be go ahead and eat . For example ,
51:26 I'm going to be home late today , go ahead
51:31 and eat dinner . So go ahead means before me
51:35 , so go ahead and do something . We'll follow
51:38 . Go ahead oftentimes with and go ahead of me
51:42 and do something . Some verb will follow this .
51:46 So in this case go ahead and eat is a
51:48 very common way that we use this one . Okay
51:51 , let's move along to the next phrase . All
51:54 verb , which is go along with to go along
51:58 with something means to temporarily , temporarily means for a
52:03 short time only to temporarily believe something that may be
52:09 false . So here I put maybe false . This
52:13 could be a story . It could be a plan
52:16 . It could be like just the way that someone
52:18 is behaving , but this means to temporarily believe .
52:23 So yes , temporarily can be a very short time
52:26 . But this could be over weeks , months or
52:29 years . So it's something that perhaps has an end
52:33 point at some point in time that doesn't have to
52:37 be very soon . But you temporarily believe or you
52:40 pretend to believe something . Here's an example . I
52:44 don't want to go along with this plan . I
52:48 don't want to go along with this plan . So
52:53 here there's a noun phrase I don't want to go
52:56 along with this plan means I don't want to pretend
52:59 this plan is okay . So kind of , the
53:02 feeling here of to go along with something is that
53:05 you're believing it and you're like pretending that you're agreeing
53:10 with that thing or you're participating in that thing .
53:13 So to go along with something , it can have
53:16 a negative meaning . Uh it can also have kind
53:19 of like a positive feeling , like for example ,
53:21 a surprise birthday party , like um we need her
53:25 to go along with the idea that she's not meeting
53:29 her friends today . For example , like we need
53:31 her to temporarily believe she's not meeting her friends ,
53:34 but it can have a negative feeling like here ,
53:37 I don't want to go along with this plan .
53:39 Maybe the plan is bad or the plan is kind
53:42 of evil somehow . So to go along with something
53:46 is to believe something , or to continue doing something
53:50 , to pretend to agree with something that may not
53:53 be true . Okay , so let's continue on to
53:56 the next phrase . All verb , The next phrase
53:58 , all verb is to go around to go around
54:01 . This has two meanings . Actually . The first
54:04 is to be enough for a group to be enough
54:07 for a group . The second one is one that
54:10 you probably or maybe already know which is to move
54:14 past something by moving around it so there is some
54:17 obstacle that you face and you move around that obstacle
54:21 , so that one is probably a little easier to
54:24 understand moving around physically and obstacle in order to pass
54:28 the obstacle . However , the one I want to
54:31 focus on for this lesson is this one to be
54:34 enough for a group to go around . So in
54:38 an example sentence , do we have drinks to go
54:41 around ? So here , do we have drinks to
54:44 go around ? As a question means , do we
54:46 have enough drinks for all the people in our group
54:50 ? So go around is a shorter way to say
54:53 that . So you can imagine if you have a
54:56 group of people in a circle , you can like
54:59 give each person one of something . So that means
55:02 to go around , there's enough of something to go
55:05 around . You will sometimes hear people include enough in
55:09 a phrase like this . Do we have enough drinks
55:12 to go around ? So this refers to having enough
55:15 of something for everyone in a group . Okay ,
55:19 let's move along to the next expression . The next
55:22 phrase , all verb is go away , Go away
55:24 . This is probably one that many of you know
55:27 to go away is often used as a command without
55:31 the to just go away command form . So it
55:35 means to move away from the current location , like
55:38 to move away from the white board , for example
55:41 , or to move away from the camera , so
55:43 you're moving away from something , so you're not getting
55:47 closer , it's the opposite direction , but like I
55:50 said , we often use it as commands so to
55:53 tell someone to go away , to tell a pet
55:55 to go away . Another example , I wish these
55:59 bugs would go away . I wish these bugs would
56:03 go away . So in other words , go away
56:05 from me , go away from me from the speaker
56:09 . So when we say go away , it's and
56:11 it doesn't have this kind of um like reference point
56:15 , it tends to mean like from the speakers location
56:19 . So I wish these bugs would go away from
56:22 me . Okay , let's move along to the next
56:24 phrase over the next one is go back or go
56:28 back to . So you'll see these both used .
56:31 So to go back to something , let's use that
56:36 to go back to something means to return to a
56:39 previous location . Or you can use it for a
56:42 phase , like a step in a project . Or
56:45 you can use it for a person to go back
56:47 to a person uh to go back to a certain
56:51 phase of your project to go back to a place
56:54 . So we use this when we've made progress in
56:57 some way , or we have changed our life in
56:59 some way and we return to something that we did
57:02 earlier or we return to a person that we associated
57:06 with earlier . When we use this expression to talk
57:09 about people , it's often because we're talking about a
57:12 romantic relationship , like for example , he went back
57:16 to his ex girlfriend or she went back to her
57:20 former boss , for example . So there's something that
57:25 like we knew in the past , we knew was
57:27 true about the person in the past and they returned
57:30 to that point . So we can use go back
57:32 to to refer to that more commonly perhaps though is
57:36 when we just want to return to something we saw
57:39 earlier , for example , go back to slide to
57:43 please . So if you're giving a presentation , you
57:46 could say go back to slide to please return to
57:50 slide too . So everyone saw slide to I the
57:53 speaker , the presenter want to return to that slide
57:56 for some reason . So go back to something is
57:59 to return to something . Okay , let's move along
58:02 to another one that's very similar . So we talked
58:05 about go back or go back to now let's look
58:08 at go back on . So to go back on
58:11 something is to choose not to do something as promised
58:16 . So we tend to use this expression with promises
58:20 or agreements of some kind . Uh so to go
58:23 back on a promise means you make the promise and
58:27 then your actions do not align with the promise .
58:31 So in an example , sentence the President went back
58:34 on his promises . So to go back on his
58:39 promises , this means the President made a promise and
58:44 the president's actions did not match that promise . So
58:47 for example , the president of the company said he
58:50 would give all employees their birthday off and then uh
58:55 the president decided not to do that in the end
58:58 . So he made a choice here . She made
59:00 a choice not to make that birthday policy happen .
59:05 So that would be an example of the president going
59:07 back on his promise . So choosing not to do
59:11 a thing that you promised to do . In some
59:13 cases , people will do the opposite of what they
59:16 promised to do . We can use that as well
59:18 . So to go back on and to go back
59:21 to our quite different . Um Keep in mind to
59:24 go back on always sounds quite negative . To go
59:27 back to doesn't necessarily sound negative . It can depending
59:32 on what is being returned to . Like if you're
59:35 if a person is going back to a negative relationship
59:38 , for example , it could feel negative . Um
59:41 but to go back on does have that negative feeling
59:44 of like betrayal . Okay , so let's continue on
59:47 to the next phrase over , but which is go
59:50 for to go for something to go for something means
59:54 to try to obtain something , or someone to try
59:58 to get something or to try to get someone .
60:00 So when I say to get someone here , um
60:04 this can mean like to get someone as like a
60:07 boyfriend or a girlfriend or it can mean to try
60:10 to get someone to participate in something , so you
60:15 want someone to join like a party or a conference
60:18 or something similar . You can use this expression in
60:21 that case . So let's look at an example .
60:24 Um she's going for the gold medal , so very
60:28 common in the olympics and sporting events in general .
60:31 She's going for here . I have the progressive tense
60:35 , she's going for , that means she's trying to
60:37 get the gold medal , she's going for the gold
60:41 is also a way that we say this , so
60:43 in this case it's an object . If you want
60:46 to use it to talk about a person , you
60:48 could say like , oh I tried to go for
60:50 that girl or that guy across the room , but
60:53 he or she wasn't interested , for example , so
60:56 you're trying to get or you're trying to attract a
60:58 person , okay , let's move along to the next
61:01 one which is go in on to go in on
61:05 something , careful . Go back on and go in
61:07 on her quite different . Go in on something .
61:10 To go in on something means to become one of
61:14 a group of people investing in something . So investing
61:19 in many cases , this means investing money in something
61:24 . In probably most cases with this expression . So
61:27 you and some other people have decided you all want
61:31 the same thing and you invest your resources in that
61:35 thing . An example . I went in on a
61:39 shared office . So here we have past tense .
61:43 I went in on a shared office . So shared
61:47 office is the thing that each person wants in this
61:51 group . We don't know how many people , but
61:53 we used I went in on this shows us that
61:57 there are other people who want the same thing that
62:00 we don't have to mention . The other people .
62:02 I went in , I went in on a shared
62:04 office , so I invested money perhaps time effort resources
62:09 in order to get this shared office with other people
62:12 . So to go in on something , um it
62:15 does have kind of a cooperative feeling about it .
62:19 It's neither positive nor negative . Really ? Okay onto
62:23 the next one . The next one is go off
62:26 to go off . So to go off , when
62:29 you're talking about people to go off , means to
62:31 lose your temper means like to shout or to yell
62:34 angrily to go off . Um you'll also hear um
62:39 when something goes off , it could be like an
62:41 alarm , like the alarm went off this morning .
62:45 So it has kind of the same feel though ,
62:47 like when a person goes off , they lose their
62:50 temper , they shout , they scream when an alarm
62:53 goes off and makes a lot of noise . So
62:55 you can imagine it's sort of like an object losing
62:59 its temper or an object making a lot of noise
63:02 as well . So we can use this for a
63:04 few objects . But we , we use it a
63:06 lot for people's tempers as well . Their emotions example
63:10 , A guy went off at a cop . So
63:14 here you'll see . Yes , I've used it in
63:16 the past tense . A guy went off at a
63:18 cop we can use at after this to show the
63:23 recipient of the anger . So in this case a
63:25 cop . So cop is slang for a police officer
63:29 . So a guy went off , lost his temper
63:32 at a police officer . I've used at here .
63:35 You will also hear on , like my mom went
63:38 off on me is another common one or my mom
63:41 went off at me . You might hear both of
63:43 those . I think I probably use on more often
63:46 , but you may hear at as well . So
63:49 to go off on someone means to lose your temper
63:52 with someone , okay , on to the next one
63:56 . The next one is to go out to go
63:58 out . So to go out means just to leave
64:00 your home to leave your home . So this can
64:04 be used . I feel positively to refer to doing
64:08 activities outside of your house . It's like you're going
64:12 to do something fun . For example , why don't
64:15 we go out tonight ? Why don't we go out
64:17 tonight ? So this is one that you can use
64:19 when you're thinking about , um like planning activities .
64:22 So let's go out or we went out to a
64:25 movie last night , for example . So to go
64:27 out , sounds like you're out and about doing things
64:30 , okay , let's move on to the next one
64:33 , then the next one is the expression go together
64:36 to go together . So yes , this does mean
64:39 to physically go to another location with someone . Like
64:45 let's go together , let's go to the movies together
64:48 . But this also has the meaning of suiting like
64:51 to suit or to combine well , to suit or
64:55 to combine well . So we use this a lot
64:58 for clothing actually . So a really common example sentence
65:03 with clothing . Uh do these shoes and this shirt
65:06 go together . So the speaker here is asking about
65:10 two things . A pair of shoes . These shoes
65:13 the plural and this shirt . So the speaker is
65:17 asking do these two sort of parts to my look
65:21 go together . So at one point to be careful
65:24 about go together does not mean match . So to
65:28 match means two things are exactly the same . 100
65:32 the same to go together means they combine well ,
65:37 they combine nicely . They look good together . So
65:40 you'll often hear people actually drop this together . People
65:45 will sometimes say like do these shoes and this shirt
65:48 go , do they go instead of go together ?
65:51 So when we say go in this way , it
65:53 means do they suit each other ? Like do they
65:56 combine nicely ? So we use this a lot for
65:59 talking about our clothes and for our appearance . So
66:02 keep an eye out for this one . It's quite
66:03 common . Okay , let's move on to the next
66:07 one to go with something or to go with someone
66:11 to go with or to go , I'm sorry to
66:13 go with something to go with . Someone means to
66:15 choose to choose . We use this a lot in
66:18 restaurants . Uh and kind of in any situation where
66:22 we're making plans like um for example , I'm gonna
66:26 go with the steak . I'm going to go with
66:29 the steak . So here I have , go with
66:32 , followed by the object . The speaker chooses .
66:34 I'm gonna go with the steak . So I chose
66:38 the steak . Or I choose the stake . If
66:40 you're using this to talk about a person , you
66:42 might be planning something like you're planning a team .
66:45 Like I'm gonna go with person A for this role
66:49 in my company or this role at the event ,
66:52 I'm gonna go with person B . For this role
66:54 . So when you're choosing people or maybe you're choosing
66:57 teams for something you could use go with . It
67:00 sounds kind of like a casual way of choosing someone
67:04 instead of choose . Like I choose this person .
67:07 I choose that person using go with sounds a little
67:10 bit lighter , a little less formal . Okay ,
67:14 so let's continue to the last one in this list
67:17 , which is go without , to go without .
67:20 So to go without something means to do something without
67:25 typical items or typical people . So there's some common
67:30 tasks , some kind of well known task or well
67:33 known activity , but you have to do that thing
67:37 without something that you usually use . So an example
67:42 , I had to go without rain gear for my
67:45 hike . So imagine it's a rainy day and the
67:48 speaker had to go on this hike , but without
67:52 his or her reindeer with no rain gear without using
67:56 this thing that he or she usually uses . So
67:59 to go without something . This does have a negative
68:03 nuance that this thing that I need or this thing
68:06 that I prefer to have , that it's common to
68:08 have . I did not have that for a task
68:11 or an activity that I was doing so to go
68:13 without something . In another example like maybe I could
68:17 say I had to go without a microphone for this
68:20 lesson . Like it would maybe make it less of
68:22 a good experience . The experience would not be as
68:25 good or it would be difficult to do things so
68:28 to go without something does tend to sound a little
68:32 bit more negative . Okay so this is a lot
68:35 of information I know um but this is just a
68:37 quick introduction to some phrase . All verbs that use
68:41 the word go . Um if you have any other
68:44 questions or if you want to know some more about
68:46 other phrase all verbs that use go , I would
68:48 highly recommend checking a dictionary . There are a lot
68:51 of words , a lot of expressions that use go
68:54 so please take a look at a dictionary for some
68:57 more information . Uh and some more example sentences as
69:01 well . Of course if you have questions or comments
69:03 or if you want to practise making an example sentence
69:06 , please feel free to do so in the comment

69:22 lesson and I will see you again soon . Bye
69:24 bye . Hi everybody . My name is Alicia in
69:28 this lesson , I'm going to talk about all every
69:31 and each . I'm going to share some differences in
69:35 how we use these words and a lot of example
69:38 sentences . So let's get started . OK . I
69:40 want to begin this lesson by talking about all all
69:45 is a word we use to mean 100 of something
69:50 we can use all with the plural form of a
69:53 Now . So let's look at some example sentences with
69:57 all the first one . All students must purchase the
70:02 textbook . All students . So here I've used students
70:07 the plural form of students . All students Must purchase
70:11 the textbook . This might be on like the class
70:15 outline for like a course of some kind at a
70:18 school . All students must purchase the textbook . In
70:21 other words , 100 of students must purchase the textbook
70:26 . In this case , students means students in this
70:29 course . For students taking this course , all students
70:33 in the course must purchase the textbook . Let's look
70:36 at the next example , all the gorillas escaped the
70:40 zoo . So this is a strange example sentence .
70:43 But here you might notice . Yes , I've used
70:46 the plural form all the gorillas . Yes , again
70:49 , S form or rather plural form . Here all
70:54 the gorillas escaped the zoo . So lots of students
70:58 ask why the here know the here we use the
71:02 as you'll see in these other example sentences when we
71:05 want to refer to something specific to the situation that
71:10 we know about from like prior to this sentence .
71:13 So before this sentence , we had some information .
71:16 So here of course it's an example sentence so we
71:19 don't have information , but this is something you might
71:23 see in the news . So as a reporter or
71:27 someone is sharing information about a story , they give
71:31 a small detail like gorillas in this case . And
71:34 then when we want to talk about those same guerrillas
71:37 later in the conversation , we would use the all
71:41 the gorillas . So those gorillas we talked about earlier
71:44 in the conversation , so that's why you'll see the
71:48 use sometimes and not used in other times . Like
71:51 here . Like I could say all the students in
71:54 the class must purchase the textbook . That's okay .
71:57 We just need to make sure we use the when
72:00 the person reading or listening understands like which now you're
72:05 talking about . So this is an example of how
72:07 it might be used . So All meaning 100 100
72:13 of the gorillas in this situation escaped the zoo .
72:17 Let's move on to the next sentence which also uses
72:20 the we weren't able to recover all of the files
72:25 . We weren't able to recover all of the files
72:29 . So here all connects with files . Again ,
72:32 the plural form files . So again all of the
72:36 files or we weren't able to recover all the files
72:40 is also okay . You can drop this of if
72:42 you like but you may hear it . So again
72:45 , we're using the files . So in this situation
72:49 we hear they're trying to recover like regain or find
72:54 something that's lost or damaged . So what are they
72:58 looking for these files in particular ? So there's some
73:02 understanding between the speaker and listener here and the speaker
73:06 . In this case we , they want to indicate
73:10 these files specifically . We weren't able to recover all
73:14 of the files . So the files we were talking
73:17 about in a previous conversation , for example , Okay
73:21 . Finally , All 15 of the students graduated ,
73:26 all 15 of the students graduated . So again ,
73:29 I'm using students here . In this case , I
73:32 have the , so all 15 students graduated is also
73:36 okay . Um , it's just a small nuance in
73:40 conversation . If you're talking maybe in a news story
73:43 about 15 students who made a special project together or
73:47 something maybe , uh , interesting happened to these students
73:50 or maybe they had a terrible experience . But you
73:53 want to report those same 15 students graduated ? All
73:58 15 of the students graduated , you would use the
74:01 to talk about those same students you introduced earlier in
74:05 your conversation . So saying something like all 15 students
74:10 graduated is also okay , but we use the to
74:14 really emphasize those students we referred to earlier . So
74:18 we use all to refer to 100 of something and
74:23 we use it with the plural form of a now
74:26 as we've shown here . Okay , so with this
74:29 in mind , let's continue to every everything Every is
74:34 used to talk about all parts in a group .
74:37 So yes , it means all of something , but
74:40 we want to talk about all in terms of the
74:44 parts of that thing . So I'll show some examples
74:48 of this in just a moment . We use every
74:51 with the singular form of the noun . We used
74:54 all with the plural form . We're going to use
74:56 every with the singular form of the noun . Every
75:00 also has uh this use we can use it before
75:04 a time period to express frequency . So for example
75:08 , every day , every month , every year ,
75:11 every summer that expresses frequency . So 100 of days
75:15 , 100 of summer . You can imagine it and
75:18 has that meaning we cannot use all in this way
75:22 . Finally , we can use every with single for
75:26 emphasis , every single something like every single and mostly
75:30 some examples of this . A couple of points I
75:33 want to mention here . Uh First let's look at
75:37 this one regarding this time period point . Make sure
75:41 when you're writing that you use a space after every
75:45 so when you write every day , for example ,
75:47 I've noticed this is a point for many learners .
75:50 When you write every day , make sure to write
75:53 every space day . Why ? Because every day is
75:58 an adjective . So without without a space here ,
76:01 every day , every day is an adjective . So
76:04 that means regular or common or something that's typical .
76:07 So for example , what are your everyday activities or
76:10 this is an everyday task meaning a regular or common
76:14 task . So please be careful every day and every
76:18 day have different functions . So please keep this in
76:21 mind . Okay with that said , Let's take a
76:25 look at some examples . 1st 1 , every single
76:29 person in our class failed the test . Every single
76:33 person in our class failed the test here . I
76:36 have single in parentheses . So this is just sort
76:39 of like an optional emphasis expression . Every single person
76:43 here , I have the singular . I talked about
76:46 how we have to use the singular person here .
76:49 Every single person in our class failed the test .
76:52 That means we want to emphasize the individual people in
76:57 the class . So yes , this means 100 of
77:00 people . But when I really want to emphasize the
77:04 individuals there as parts of this whole , I use
77:07 every and this adds to that emphasis . Every single
77:12 okay , let's move on to the next one here
77:15 . Every team member has his or her own specialty
77:20 . So again , I'm using the singular form .
77:22 Every team member , every team member . So here
77:26 we have a team . So we know that it's
77:29 a group of people and we want to talk about
77:32 the individuals in that group as parts of the whole
77:36 . So every team member has his or her own
77:39 specialty . I use every to talk about that .
77:42 I could use single here if I want to do
77:44 every single team member and that would make it sound
77:47 even stronger . Um , but we use this to
77:51 emphasize again , parts in a hole . Okay ,
77:54 the next example sentence is we go jogging together every
78:00 weekend . We go jogging together every weekend . So
78:04 this every is this time period one , this frequency
78:08 one that I talked about , we go jogging together
78:11 every weekend . So every comes before my time period
78:16 . This means 100 of weekends , we go jogging
78:20 together , we go jogging together every weekend could change
78:23 this to every summer or every Tuesday or every day
78:28 for example , but again make sure to keep a
78:30 space between every and the following words , especially when
78:35 you're using day . Okay , finally I listen to
78:38 music every single day . So again I'm using this
78:43 as a frequency expression . I listen to music every
78:47 day . I can use single here as well .
78:51 So I'm emphasizing every day in this case I really
78:54 want to make it clear like I love music so
78:57 I listened to it every single day like without fail
79:01 so we can combine this frequency expression every something with
79:06 a single to emphasize . Okay great . So this
79:10 is an introduction to every , let's move on now
79:13 to each . So each is used again similar to
79:18 every when we want to talk about the individual units
79:22 in something . So the slight difference in feeling here
79:27 is that when we're using every we're talking about parts
79:30 in a hole . So like every team member for
79:33 example or every student in the class there's some whole
79:37 like some larger group . We can imagine with each
79:42 . Yes , there maybe is like a larger group
79:45 but we really want to focus on individuals . We
79:49 really want the emphasis to be on the individual unit
79:53 of something . Second point . We use each when
79:57 there are only two of something . So I'll show
80:01 you some examples of when this can be important .
80:04 But if there are only two of the thing you're
80:06 talking about use each to describe that not every .
80:11 Okay . Finally we can use this with the plural
80:14 and the singular forms of now and so both are
80:17 okay and there are a few different patterns that we
80:19 can take . Finally , you might see this expression
80:24 , each and every . Each and every is a
80:26 set phrase . We cannot use every end each .
80:29 We don't use that . Please use each and every
80:32 . We use this before a noun or again ,
80:35 we could use this before like a day or weekend
80:38 to emphasize . So this is another emphasizing phrase each
80:43 and every Okay , let's look at some examples of
80:46 using each first . Each of the computers crashed .
80:52 Each of the computers crashed . So this could mean
80:55 to computers and both of them crash . That could
80:58 mean it . Or it could mean like each computer
81:00 in like a computer lab crashed . We could use
81:04 it in that way . So sentences like these maybe
81:07 don't always give all the information . We need to
81:11 know a little bit about this situation , but this
81:14 is an example of how we could use each with
81:17 a plural noun . Each of the computers crashed .
81:21 We cannot say each computer's crashed , we could say
81:25 each computer crashed , but we cannot say each computer's
81:28 crashed . Each of the computers is okay , okay
81:33 , next one , each one of the companies donated
81:37 to charity . Each one of the companies donated to
81:40 charity . That means in some situation like an event
81:44 , for example , and all of the companies that
81:47 attended the event . Uh , so each one of
81:50 those companies , we want to emphasize the individual companies
81:54 , they're so each one of the companies donated to
81:56 charity . So again , I'm using the plural form
82:00 . So I could say each company donated to charity
82:04 as well . That's okay . All right . Let's
82:06 move on to some more examples with the singular form
82:10 . So each person helped clean the parch . Each
82:14 person helped clean the park . So maybe it's a
82:16 volunteer organization and many people come and you can say
82:21 each person helped clean the park . So again ,
82:24 emphasizing the individuals there . Finally , marathon participants will
82:30 each receive a t shirt . Marathon participants will each
82:36 receive a t shirt . So that means if you
82:39 participate in the marathon , you will receive a t
82:42 shirt . And that's true for 100% of marathon participants
82:47 . So we could use maybe all to talk about
82:51 this or maybe even every to talk about these situations
82:54 . We would just need to make some changes .
82:56 Like for example , all marathon participants will receive a
83:00 t shirt is okay as well . Um or what's
83:04 another good example , like all of the companies donated
83:07 to charity . That's okay too . So the difference
83:10 in those cases is just that each gives more emphasis
83:15 to an individual . All is more about like a
83:19 large number of something . So to finish this lesson
83:22 , I want to look at a few example sentences
83:25 and point out why their natural or unnatural . So
83:28 I hope that this helps you first . Actually ,
83:31 you'll notice these are very similar . First one ,
83:34 the sentences , okay , she wears earrings on each
83:38 ear , she wears earrings on each year . So
83:41 I've used each in this sentence and it sounds natural
83:45 because there are only two in most situations , I
83:48 think people probably have just two years , so each
83:53 means one to both of them . She wears earrings
83:57 on each ear sounds very natural . The next example
84:01 sentence is not natural though . She wears earrings on
84:04 every year . This sounds strange because every is used
84:08 to refer to part of a group . So we
84:12 used to for each and we only have two years
84:16 for most of us . So every refers to something
84:19 with more than two . In this case it sounds
84:22 really strange because we don't expect someone to have more
84:26 than two years . So every sounds bizarre . I
84:30 don't recommend it . Same thing with the next one
84:33 . She wears earrings on all ears . So again
84:37 all refers to a large number of something , so
84:41 all years does not sound natural because we have just
84:44 two years . So in cases like these , like
84:48 maybe you're talking about body parts for example , it's
84:51 gonna sound much more natural to use each when you're
84:54 talking about something . Uh you have only two of
84:57 however , let's go on to these next three sentences
85:01 , which all sound natural . She wears a ring
85:05 on every finger . She wears a ring on every
85:08 finger . This sentence sounds fine because for most people
85:12 , um we have 10 fingers , it's a large
85:14 number . And so we want to say in this
85:17 case she wears a ring , the one ring on
85:20 every finger . So we're emphasizing these individual parts of
85:24 the whole of all of our fingers , This group
85:27 , that is our fingers . The next one is
85:29 also natural . She wears rings on all her fingers
85:34 , You might hear some people drop her . She
85:36 wears rings on all fingers . So that means we're
85:39 emphasizing like the total here . So we're not talking
85:42 so much about the individual fingers , but just all
85:46 she wears rings on all her fingers . Finally ,
85:49 she wears a ring on each finger is also okay
85:53 to use . So she wears a ring on each
85:54 finger if you really want to emphasize one by one
85:59 , these individual fingers . So this one has the
86:02 strongest feeling of like individuality . One by one ,
86:07 every would be next . She wears a ring on
86:09 every finger and then when you want to emphasize like
86:12 a group feeling , she wears rings on all her
86:15 fingers . So just keep in mind sentences like these
86:18 are definitely not natural and I don't recommend you use
86:23 them because it's going to sound really strange . So
86:26 try to focus on uh sentences like these . I
86:30 hope that this helps you okay , but if you

86:50 . And I will see you again soon . Bye
86:52 bye . Hi everybody . Welcome back to know your
86:56 verbs . My name is Alicia . And in this
86:58 lesson we're going to talk about the verb lie .
87:01 Let's get started . Yeah , the basic definition of
87:06 the verb lie is to be in or to move
87:10 to a horizontal position . Examples . I'm gonna lie
87:14 on the sofa and read a book . We lay
87:16 in the grass enjoying the sun . Yeah . Now
87:20 let's look at the congregations of this verb present lie
87:24 lies past , lay past participle lane , progressive lying
87:35 . Now let's talk about some additional meetings for this
87:37 bird . The first additional meaning is to have a
87:40 certain place or position . Examples . The town lies
87:45 at the base of the mountains . Here lies the
87:48 famous poet . So in these example sentences lie refers
87:52 to the position of something . In the first example
87:56 sentence . The town lies at the base of the
87:58 mountains . It means the town is located at the
88:02 base of the mountains . The town's position is at
88:04 the base of the mountains . In the second example
88:07 , sentence here lies the famous poet . It means
88:10 here is the famous poet . This is the location
88:13 of the famous poet . However , this is sort
88:16 of a special expression . Here lies . Person is
88:19 used for the body of a person , a person
88:22 who has died , a person who has passed away
88:25 when we want to describe the location where their body
88:28 is . We say here lies so and so here
88:32 lies the famous poet . Here lies my former pet
88:36 , for example , so you can use it for
88:38 pets I supposed to . But here lies before the
88:41 person . Let's go to the second additional meaning for
88:43 this verb . The second additional meaning is to purposefully
88:46 give false information . Examples don't lie to me ,
88:52 the company found out she lied on her resume .
88:55 So this use of lie refers to someone purposefully meaning
89:00 they plan to share information that is not true ,
89:05 it's false or there's something that's not correct about it
89:08 . So they're doing it on purpose . It's not
89:11 just a simple mistake , it's a plan . So
89:15 a lie is typically regarded as a bad thing .
89:18 Though there are some situations where we might lie to
89:22 don't help a situation that's beside the point . But
89:25 in the first example sentence don't lie to me ,
89:28 it means don't tell me false information , Don't say
89:31 things to me that are not true . In the
89:34 second example sentence lie is used to refer to lying
89:38 on a resume . A resume is a document you
89:41 give to a potential employer . It lists your work
89:45 experience and your education history , whatever is relevant related
89:51 to that job . To lie on your resume means
89:54 to submit false information on your resume information that is
89:58 not true . So this is a big problem ,
90:00 This is not a good thing to do . So
90:03 lying is considered bad . So we use the verb
90:05 lie to refer to that action to give false information
90:10 . The third additional meaning is to belong to to
90:13 belong to . Let's look at some examples responsibility for
90:16 the success of this project , lies with you .
90:20 The secret to this dish lies in the sauce .
90:23 So this might be a little bit tough to understand
90:26 . But let's look at the examples carefully . So
90:29 this meaning of lie to belong to can be attached
90:34 to like two people to talk about their responsibilities or
90:38 their obligations . It can also be attached to objects
90:41 as we see in the second example , sentence to
90:44 talk about some kind of characteristic or feature of those
90:48 things . In the first example , sentence , we
90:50 see the responsibility for the success of the project lies
90:54 with you . In other words , the responsibility belongs
90:57 to you , you have the responsibility of making this
91:02 project successful . In the second example , sentence ,
91:05 we see some special characteristic described . So it's about
91:10 the sauce there . So like the secret to the
91:12 dishes deliciousness perhaps is uh in the sauce . So
91:16 it belongs to the sauce . So there's something special
91:19 about the sauce that makes the dish delicious . In
91:22 other words , the secret to the dish lies in
91:25 the sauce belongs to the sauce . There's something in
91:28 the sauce that makes it special . So you can
91:30 think of this use of lie as meaning belong to
91:35 to describe responsibility or a special feature . Something like
91:38 that . There's a special something that uh consists within
91:42 that thing . Yeah . Let's go to some variations
91:48 Now , some variations with the verb lie . The
91:50 first one is to lie low . To lie low
91:53 . This means to be quiet or to refrain from
91:57 activities usually because you want to hide for some reason
92:00 some examples I'm gonna lie low until all this drama
92:04 is over . Let's lie low and see what our
92:06 competitors do . So the image here of lie low
92:10 . Like if you can remember back to the basic
92:13 definition of the verb to lie which means to be
92:16 in or to move to a horizontal position . Like
92:19 you lie in bed . If you lie low it
92:22 sounds like you're maybe at that horizontal position but at
92:25 a low level , like you're hiding kind of .
92:28 So we use this as an expression to mean like
92:31 we want to be out of sight , like we
92:33 don't want to be seen . So maybe we did
92:35 something embarrassing or disgraceful , or maybe there's trouble out
92:39 there like at work or in society or something that
92:43 we don't want to be involved in , something ,
92:46 we don't want to be connected in for a while
92:49 . So we can say I'm going to lie low
92:52 . The idea with this is that it's temporary .
92:54 We're not going to lie low forever . Usually we
92:57 lie low for a short period of time and then
93:00 we come back to our regular way of living life
93:03 and doing things . The second variation is to lie
93:07 around . To lie around This can refer to two
93:10 things . One that an object is in a place
93:13 , it's not usually in or to to refer to
93:17 a person doing nothing , absolutely nothing . They lie
93:20 on the bed or they lie on the sofa and
93:22 do nothing . Examples , my phone is lying around
93:26 here somewhere . I just want to lie around all
93:29 weekend . So in the first example sentence we see
93:32 it refers to a phone in a place where it's
93:34 not supposed to be , so maybe my phone has
93:37 a specific spot in my house . I always put
93:40 my phone here , but now it's not there ,
93:42 I'm looking for it . So I can say my
93:44 phone is lying around here somewhere . I don't know
93:47 where in the second example sentence , it's about a
93:50 person doing nothing . Like I just want to lie
93:52 around all weekend . That means I want to do
93:55 nothing . I want to relax all weekend , maybe
93:58 lying in bed or lying on my sofa lying on
94:00 the beach . Perhaps . So this means doing nothing
94:03 relaxing . Okay , so those are a few new
94:06 ways . I hope to use the verb lie .
94:08 There are lots of different ways to use this verb
94:11 . So if you have any questions or comments or
94:13 if you want to try to make some example sentences
94:16 , please feel free to do . So in the
94:17 comment section of this video of course , don't forget

94:28 much for watching this episode of know your verbs and
94:30 we'll see you again soon . Bye bye . No
94:34 lies were told in the making of this episode .
94:37 To my knowledge . Hi everybody , Welcome back to
94:40 know your verbs . My name is Alicia . And
94:42 in this lesson , we're going to talk about the
94:44 verb match . Let's get started . Yeah . The
94:49 basic definition of the verb match is to combine well
94:53 with something else examples . The new product lineup matches
94:58 our customers needs his shirt , matched his pants nicely
95:03 . Yeah . Now let's look at the congregations for
95:06 this verb present match matches past matched past participle matched
95:15 progressive matching . Now , let's talk about some additional
95:21 meanings for this verb , first one to be equal
95:24 to another thing or person . Some examples our products
95:29 match our competitors quality at a lower price . She
95:33 matched her boss drink for drink . So in the
95:36 first example sentence the speakers product and the competitors products
95:39 have the same level of quality they match in terms
95:42 of quality . However , the price of the speakers
95:45 product is cheaper . It's at a lower price .
95:48 So that's the point of the speaker's statement , same
95:50 quality , but our product is cheaper . Maybe a
95:53 common sales tactic in the second example , sentence we
95:56 see she matched her boss drink for drink . It
95:59 means for each drink her boss took , she also
96:03 had a drink . So matching drinks is like doing
96:07 the same thing as someone else , drinking the same
96:10 amount to someone else . So she matched her boss
96:12 , she matched her boss so she was equal ,
96:16 she was at an equal level to her boss in
96:19 this respect . Okay , let's go on to the
96:21 second additional meaning the second additional meaning is to give
96:25 the same amount of money that has been collected or
96:29 offered . Examples Will match donations , $1 for $1
96:35 . The store offered to match competitor prices . So
96:38 this is a specific use of the word match that's
96:41 related to money . Um , so if like a
96:44 charity organization is trying to raise money for something .
96:48 Oftentimes other organizations or individuals will agree to match a
96:54 certain amounts or match the amount of money raised .
96:57 We see that in the first example sentence , so
97:00 we'll match $1 for $1 means for each dollar that
97:05 is donated . This , whoever speaking this organization or
97:09 this person will donate $1 also . So if $100
97:14 is like the total amount that's raised , then the
97:17 speakers organization of the speaker themselves will also give $100
97:22 . So this amount and this amount will be the
97:25 same . That's called matching donations in the second example
97:28 sentence then about matching competitor prices . This means that
97:33 if a competitor has a lower price for a product
97:37 , this shop will offer the same price . So
97:41 that means that the shop is changing its price to
97:43 match the competitors price . So they're trying to match
97:46 the amount offered by the competitor there . So matching
97:51 prices in this way , it means that they will
97:53 change prices um to offer the best price possible for
97:56 the customer . So the next additional meaning is to
98:00 be the same as something else . To be the
98:02 same as something else . Examples . Her outfit matched
98:07 one worn by a model in a magazine . Your
98:10 hairstyle matches my dogs . So this means not to
98:14 be similar or not to combine well , but to
98:16 be the same as something else , exactly the same
98:20 as something else . So in the first example sentence
98:23 , her outfit matched one worn by a model in
98:26 the magazine . It means her outfit is the same
98:29 as the one that's in this magazine . So maybe
98:32 she was inspired by this outfit in the magazine .
98:35 So she matches they are wearing the same thing .
98:38 The second one is kind of a joke sentence .
98:40 Your hairstyle matches my dogs hairstyle . So I've dropped
98:44 hairstyle from that sentence . Your hairstyle matches my dogs
98:48 . It means your hairstyle and my dogs hairstyle are
98:51 the same . So it's probably a joke . I
98:53 can't think of many situations where this would be a
98:56 compliment , but just an example sentence . So this
99:00 means that these two things are the same . They
99:03 are the same . You match you match . So
99:05 this is common if you happen to wear like the
99:08 same clothes as someone else , if just accidentally though
99:12 , like you didn't plan it , you arrived to
99:14 something and you're wearing the same thing as someone else
99:16 . We can say , oh my gosh , you
99:18 match you guys match , you're wearing the same thing
99:21 . Yeah , okay , let's move on to some
99:25 variations for this verb , the first variation I have
99:28 two included for this is to match up or to
99:31 match somebody up . This means to introduce somebody for
99:35 dating , to introduce two people for dating examples ,
99:39 my friend tried to match me up with someone ,
99:42 A coworker matched up to acquaintances quite successfully . So
99:46 this match up refers to combining two people . So
99:50 we talked about the basic definition of this verb ,
99:53 like two things that combine together well , in this
99:56 case , when we say to match up or to
99:58 match somebody up , it refers to finding two people
100:02 who are a nice fit , they combine together well
100:05 . So you might hear this like to match you
100:07 up with somebody , I want to match you up
100:09 with somebody . So this means dating , trying to
100:12 set up a date . The next variation is to
100:15 match somebody against somebody else . This means to put
100:19 two people of equal ability levels in competition against one
100:25 another . So that means these two people have about
100:27 the same level of ability . It shouldn't be out
100:30 of balance , ideally it should be about the same
100:33 level . Examples , Serena Williams was matched against anna
100:38 kournikova . Let's match the top japanese chef against the
100:41 top friendship for the competition . So these example sentences
100:45 are intended to show situations where there's a pair of
100:48 people that are evenly matched , but maybe they have
100:52 different abilities , like different specialties , so their abilities
100:56 themselves are maybe at the same level , but maybe
100:59 they have some kind of different details in there somewhere
101:02 . So to match in this way to match one
101:05 person against another person is for competitive reasons , for
101:09 some contest or sport of something like that . Okay
101:12 , so those are a few new ways . I
101:14 hope that you can use the word match . If
101:16 you have questions , comments or want to leave an
101:18 example sentence . Please feel free to do so in

103:37 . Okay , let's jump into today's topic . How
103:44 to adjust your routine and learn language from home .
103:47 Recently . Many people have started to work and take
103:50 classes from home with language learning since it's something people
103:54 do in their own time . A lot of it
103:56 is done at home anyway , but that doesn't mean
103:58 that all of this hasn't affected how people learn if
104:01 you use the language learning app or listen to lessons
104:04 during your commute but you don't commute anymore . The
104:07 pandemic has probably ruined your flow . With many of
104:11 us spending more time at home . Being able to
104:14 learn from home efficiently is a good skill to have
104:17 because while learning or working from home sounds good .
104:20 It's not exactly easy to do Part one . The
104:24 pros and cons of learning at home first the pros
104:27 there's convenience . You can learn whatever you want .
104:30 You also have more time in the day since you're
104:33 not commuting or walking from the train station into work
104:36 . It's also easier to practice speaking . Many people
104:40 might find it hard to practice on the train or
104:42 at a lunch break or in the office during work
104:45 . It might sound a little strange but at home
104:48 you can dedicate more time to practicing speaking . What's
104:51 your favorite pro of learning at home ? Leave us
104:54 a comment now . What about the cons distractions ?
104:58 There are a lot more distractions at home there's the
105:01 tv there's the couch and the food and family members
105:04 coming in and out next . There's no physical or
105:07 mental separation between rest and work which is crucial for
105:11 focus . It's the same reason why people prefer going
105:14 to the gym instead of working out from the comfort
105:16 of their own home . If you're in a place
105:19 where there's only one goal like working out and you're
105:21 surrounded by people working out you'll have no problem doing
105:24 it . But if you're in a place you associate
105:27 with rest eating and watching tv you might have trouble
105:30 focusing . But if you're spending more time at home
105:34 then you should at least make the best of it
105:35 and learn your language at home . Part two How
105:39 to successfully learn from home without getting distracted . So
105:43 here's how you do it first , pick a dedicated
105:46 place for learning and preferably not your bed , just
105:50 like an office is associated with working time and your
105:52 bedroom is associated with rest . You need a place
105:55 associated with language learning , it could be your desk
105:58 in the corner of the room , it could be
106:00 your basement , as long as it's far from distractions
106:03 and places of rest . Second pick a time that
106:07 way , for example , when it's nine PM ,
106:09 you know , it's time to put in 10 minutes
106:11 of language learning Three time box , your study sessions
106:16 . What's time boxing time boxing is simply setting a
106:19 fixed amount of time for an activity . For example
106:22 , you're going to dedicate the next 10 minutes to
106:25 language and nothing else . If you usually have trouble
106:28 concentrating time , boxing is a good way to set
106:31 boundaries and get things done . Four start small ,
106:36 just like with setting small , measurable goals and realistic
106:39 routines don't set aside two hours for study time .
106:43 Instead try to time box 5 , 10 or 15
106:46 minutes and stick with that for a week or two
106:48 . You can always increase your time later once you
106:51 get more comfortable with your routine . Five do multiple
106:55 sessions in one day instead of trying to master a
106:58 lesson and the lesson , dialogue in one shot space
107:02 out your learning throughout the day , in the morning
107:04 , afternoon and at night . So take an audio
107:07 or video lesson and read along with the lesson notes
107:10 in the morning , Get acquainted with the conversation ,
107:13 all the words and Grammar rules . Don't rush to
107:16 memorize it all . You'll come back to it later
107:19 in the day and do this for around 5 to
107:21 15 minutes during the day . Practice shadowing the dialogue
107:25 , practice recalling the words , do this for around
107:28 10 minutes . You can also write out the lesson
107:31 . Dialogue practice using the Grammar rules or drill the
107:34 words with flash cards and at night come back and
107:37 review for about 10 minutes . You can re listen
107:39 to the lesson or just the dialogue track by doing
107:43 multiple sessions in one day you'll be a lot more
107:45 comfortable with the language simply because you spaced out your
107:48 learning and came back to review and while it may
107:51 feel repetitive it's the repetition that helps you master the
107:55 language over the long term six . Use at home
107:59 time to practice speaking more . It would be hard
108:02 to practice if you were commuting or out on a
108:05 walk . But if you're at home you can easily
108:07 speak out loud without drawing attention or feeling embarrassed .
108:11 So to recap , one pick a specific place for
108:14 learning that's far from distractions like your bed , two
108:18 Pick a specific time for studying three Time box ,
108:23 your study sessions , four start small Five do multiple
108:28 sessions in one day and six . Use at home
108:31 time to practice speaking more . So thank you for

109:10 If you wanted to learn a language even just 25
109:13 years ago , you would have needed to go to
109:15 a library , take in person classes and dig for
109:17 the right resources . Before you could even begin regular
109:21 practice sessions , you have to find the tools you
109:24 needed to learn . Now . With just a quick

110:04 of your studies , it's easy to set a big
110:06 target like two hours of language practice every day .
110:09 But for most of us that's not realistic . After
110:11 a long day of worker school , it's difficult to
110:14 commit to more hours studying language Instead you can make
110:18 your goal to do small things consistently . This can
110:21 help you move forward sometimes , almost without you noticing
110:24 it . Try to listen to one podcast every day
110:28 . There are only 10-15 minutes so everyone can make
110:31 time for that . You can review previous podcast lessons
110:34 or listen to new lessons . Just make sure you

110:47 sure to use the lesson review tools , reviewing what
110:51 you've learned is an important part of learning Anything .

111:43 of short periods of time . How much time do

111:50 for groceries , walking or cleaning ? Probably more than

112:31 systems and secret tricks that promise fluency in just a
112:34 couple months or even weeks while you might find some
112:37 good tips now and then most of these claims are
112:39 not based in reality , make sure you don't measure
112:43 your own progress against these impossible standards . If you've
112:46 been told you can completely master a new language in
112:49 three months . But by the end of your studies
112:51 you've made just a little bit of progress . It

113:48 you ever wondered if you could learn a language faster
113:51 ? We asked our experience learners for their best tips
113:54 so you can steal these and use them for yourself
113:57 . In this video you'll discover five tactics for faster
114:00 language learning . Number one try more challenging lessons to
114:05 improve faster . If you're wondering why should I try
114:09 a harder lesson . Think about the gym studying is
114:13 a bit like working out . If you want to
114:15 get bigger and stronger , you need to exercise with
114:18 heavier weights . But you might think if I try
114:21 a harder lesson , I won't be able to understand
114:23 everything . Remember that's normal . When you can't understand
114:27 100 of a lesson , it means there are things
114:30 in a lesson for you to learn . Keep in
114:32 mind that you should challenge yourself but not choose lessons
114:35 that are impossible and make sure to use the tools
114:38 you have to study the things you don't know with
114:41 our learning program teachers break down the conversation in every
114:44 lesson . You also get the translations and explanations right
114:48 there on the lesson page , there are also lesson
114:50 notes transcripts and dialogue study tools for you to use
114:55 , remember how you felt when you started studying and
114:58 try to keep that beginner mindset when you realize you
115:01 don't understand something , don't run away from it .
115:04 Instead use the tools you have to work to understand
115:07 it . This will help you learn faster . Number
115:10 two , put your learning on autopilot . Imagine you
115:14 have a bunch of learning apps and textbooks . Maybe
115:17 you have a bunch of steady tools on your smartphone
115:19 or a bunch of books piled on the table you
115:22 want to read ? Where do you even begin ?
115:24 A lot of learners begin with a lot of enthusiasm
115:27 so they buy a lot of resources but then get
115:30 overwhelmed . They're not sure where to start or what
115:33 to do or how to continue . Let's think about
115:35 a textbook . It's easy to understand how to use
115:38 a textbook . You follow the pages begin with chapter
115:41 one , then go to chapter two , chapter three
115:43 and so on . Until you finish the book .
115:45 The road forward is clear . You don't have to
115:48 think about anything except moving forward with your studies .
115:51 So how do you apply this kind of autopilot approach
115:54 ? If you're not using a textbook , You can
115:57 actually do this with our language learning programs tracking feature
116:01 with our progress tracking dashboard . Once you've chosen ,
116:04 your learning level will give you a recommended lesson pathway
116:07 and feed you lessons 1x1 . The dashboard will tell
116:10 you which lessons to take from less than one to
116:12 lesson two to lesson three . You'll be guided as
116:15 you work on improving Number three , read lines from
116:19 the lesson dialogue out loud slowly , then reread and
116:23 increase your speed . This tactic is powerful for two
116:26 reasons . It helps you become able to read faster
116:29 and speak faster . Speaking smoothly is something many beginners
116:33 say they struggle with . So this kind of practice
116:36 can be very beneficial for beginning learners with our language
116:40 learning program . For every lesson you get a conversation
116:43 , read the dialogue with the line by line ,
116:45 dialogue , read out loud slowly , once , then
116:48 reread a bit faster , then again and keep increasing
116:51 your speed until you can say the lines comfortably and
116:54 sound like a native . You can take it a
116:56 step further and try to memorize the dialogue to try
116:59 recalling it after your study session and say the lines
117:02 out loud . This kind of review will help you
117:04 progress and help you remember number four . Review old
117:09 lessons to master them completely . Review is essential for
117:13 your learning . If you come across a new word
117:15 , you won't remember it . If you see it
117:17 only once , it takes repetition to remember something ,
117:20 make sure to take time to review past lessons ,
117:24 give your brain a chance to remember the things you
117:26 studied previously . For example , if you try our
117:30 listening comprehension lessons and you don't understand absolutely everything ,
117:34 Check the translations and try listening again . Use the
117:37 study tools you have available to make the most of
117:40 your review sessions , Number five , download the dialog
117:44 tracks and listen to the conversations . This is a
117:48 super popular immersion tactic . Here's how it works When
117:52 you're done with a lesson , download the dialogue track
117:55 , you'll get the conversation in your target language ,
117:57 then make a playlist of the dialogue tracks . Each
118:00 track is about 10-30 seconds long . You can even
118:03 put the tracks and playlists on your device and listen
118:06 to them throughout the day , just as you would
118:08 listen to music , This helps make the language feel
118:11 a bit more natural , more like part of your
118:13 everyday life instead of music , you're immersing yourself in
118:16 conversations . This can be a great way to work
118:19 on improving your listening skills . This video covered five

118:58 . Just click the link in the description . All
119:01 cultures have a form of music . Music is one
119:04 of the most basic tools we can use to learn
119:06 a language . Parents use music and songs to teach
119:09 their young Children simple words , music can help us
119:12 focus , help us remember better and thus help us
119:15 as we acquire a language , music can aid our
119:17 coordination and physical development too . So how do we
119:22 use music to support our language learning ? Now ,
119:24 as grown people In this video , we'll look at
119:28 four ways to use music to study a language imitating
119:32 structures and rhythms is important when learning a language and
119:35 the same is true for music . When Children play
119:38 with other Children , they listen to songs , move
119:40 their bodies as they play games and try to imitate
119:43 what they see and hear this practice of regular imitation
119:47 aids Children as they gain their language skills , repeating
119:50 song lyrics like those from nursery rhymes helps kids retain
119:53 words and expressions . Children may not know the meanings
119:56 of all the words in the songs they sing ,
119:58 but they remember the songs , the vocabulary and the
120:01 rhythms . Children practice making sounds by mimicking the pronunciation
120:06 of words . This can be the first step to
120:08 the child understanding the meaning and use of a word
120:10 , you might not realize it , but you probably
120:13 still remember many of the songs and rhymes you learned
120:16 when you were a child were able to remember expressions
120:19 , words and ideas effectively when they're put to music
120:22 . This is also the reason you can memorize the
120:24 lyrics of songs you like rather easily patterns like those
120:28 in many popular songs are repetitive . We review the
120:31 rhythms and the words each time we listen , everybody's
120:34 different . So if you want to use music to
120:36 support your language learning , we're here to provide four
120:39 different ways . Number one passive listening . One way
120:45 to study with music is through passive listening . You
120:48 can do this with songs you have in your target
120:49 language on your computer , a cd , your favorite
120:52 streaming site . You can use this method as long
120:54 as you have access to music in the language .
120:56 You want to study , turn the music on and
120:59 let it play in the background while you do something
121:01 else like studying , cooking dinner or cleaning the house
121:04 , Do this regularly and let your mind get used
121:07 to the idea of hearing your target language in your
121:10 environment . This kind of familiarity with the language will
121:13 help you as you work towards fluency , passive listening
121:16 is one form of language immersion as you listen to
121:19 the background music over and over and get more comfortable
121:22 with it . You'll start to notice keywords , intonation
121:25 , grammar patterns and so on . With enough practice
121:28 and with enough different music to listen to , you
121:30 might even start to recognize certain sounds and words when
121:33 you hear them somewhere else . Number two memorization ,
121:38 you can use music to help build your vocabulary and
121:41 memorize words effectively . This method focuses on studying lyrics
121:45 and songs to improve your ability to recall the words
121:49 . Look up the lyrics to a song you're listening
121:51 to and review them line by line . You can
121:53 read the lyrics as you listen to the song or
121:55 try to remember the next line in the song before
121:57 it is sung memorization practice like this enhances your listening
122:01 skills and boosts your reading skills . Number three sing
122:05 along our first tip in this lesson was to listen
122:09 passively . This tip however is to listen actively by
122:13 singing along to your music . Look at the lyrics
122:16 of a song you like play the song and try
122:18 to sing along . You may also be able to
122:20 find videos on Youtube of popular songs with the lyrics
122:23 included . If it's difficult at first , don't worry
122:27 , remember regular review and practice is essential just as
122:30 we usually need to hear a song in our native
122:33 language a few times before we remember the words you
122:36 can expect to need to listen several times over a
122:38 few days before you feel comfortable with all the words
122:41 . Through practicing this way , you'll learn grammar ,
122:44 spelling and pronunciation . You'll also get to enjoy a
122:47 song you like . Moreover , this type of exercise
122:50 will help you work on your reading and listening skills
122:53 . A good way to check your progress is by
122:55 trying to sing the song by yourself . You can
122:58 sing with no music or you can try looking for
123:00 a karaoke version of the song you like . If
123:02 you can sing all the words great . If not
123:05 , you can go back to the lyrics and study
123:07 a bit more until you master the track number four
123:11 transcription . To do this exercise , listen to the
123:14 song as it plays right down or transcribed the lyrics
123:18 . You can start and stop the song at the
123:20 end of each line to slow things down a bit
123:23 . If you begin your studies with this method ,
123:25 you might catch only a few words but don't get
123:27 frustrated . Play the song and write down everything you
123:30 can hear . Then play the song again and write
123:33 down the words that you missed the first time you
123:35 listened with practice like this , you're listening skills will
123:38 improve and so will your spelling . These are just
123:41 a few ways that you can use music to study
123:43 another language , Be patient and don't forget to enjoy
123:47 the music you're listening to as you study . If
123:50 you want to start simple , try listening to Children's
123:52 songs in your target language . The song lyrics tend
123:55 to be repeated a lot and this can help you
123:57 identify keywords quickly learning a language through music is fun
124:02 . It can help you focus your attention and improve
124:04 your memory . This can be a great part of
124:06 yourself study plan . If you want to get more

124:42 Just click the link in the description when learning a
124:46 new language . Everyone should have an ultimate goal to
124:48 work towards whether you want to be able to connect
124:51 with a relative easily order food while traveling or go
124:54 somewhere new . Having an end goal for your learning
124:57 can be very motivating a popular but challenging goal is
125:01 being able to speak like a native speaker . It's
125:03 difficult to measure exactly when you reach this goal and
125:06 it's not something you can pick up using textbooks alone
125:09 . So how do you work on making your speech
125:11 more natural ? That's what we're going to look at
125:13 today . Here are three tips to help you practice
125:16 talking like a native speaker . Number one focus on
125:21 vocabulary . If your goal is to speak like a
125:24 native , you might be really focused on speaking quickly
125:27 or using as many complex grammar patterns as possible ,
125:31 but in our native languages were not always trying to
125:34 speak as fast as possible and we use complex grammar
125:37 patterns when necessary not to show off vocabulary , however
125:41 , is extremely important to expressing ourselves naturally . Your
125:44 choice of words can reveal a lot about you and
125:47 your understanding of the language . Most learners have had
125:51 the experience of using a phrase book or a dictionary
125:53 to find a word they want to use , trying
125:56 the word in conversation and getting a look of confusion
125:58 from the native speaker . In some cases , although
126:01 your word choice may be grammatically correct , the word
126:04 may be inappropriate for the situation or totally unnatural .
126:08 This is especially important in business and other formal situations
126:12 where the right level of formality and professionalism is key
126:15 . Being able to understand nuances and vocabulary words can
126:19 also help you understand relationships between people just by listening
126:23 to the conversation . Try to listen to many different
126:26 types of conversations , listen to how people talk to
126:29 their friends , their superiors and in customer service situations
126:32 , this will give you a better idea of how
126:34 to talk to others naturally . In some languages you
126:38 can omit words from sentences or use more direct communication
126:41 styles . It's important to be aware of these things
126:44 so you can apply them yourself . Colloquialisms and slang
126:48 are also commonly used in most languages , as this
126:51 sort of vocabulary is always evolving . It can be
126:53 difficult to keep up with the latest words , talk
126:56 with native speakers and consume media in your target language
126:59 to make sure you pick up these kinds of expressions
127:02 . Media is a great resource for your learning .
127:05 Ultimately knowing the appropriate vocabulary to use for each situation
127:09 will really help you sound more knowledgeable . Number two
127:13 , perfect . Your accent with every language , there
127:17 are unique pronunciation and intonation challenges . Some languages are
127:21 tonal languages and a change in pitch can completely change
127:25 the meaning of a word . Then there's the fact
127:27 that most countries have multiple dialects and so people from
127:30 one area of the country may sound different from those
127:33 in another . So what is the best way to
127:35 listen to a wide range of accents and different pronunciations
127:40 ? Video and audio resources are a great way to
127:42 do this . Youtube is a perfect place to start
127:45 because people from all kinds of different backgrounds upload videos
127:48 to the platform . You can watch educational videos ,
127:51 daily life logs , cooking shows , a travel series
127:54 , whatever interests you pay attention to the different ways
127:57 people speak . Everyone is unique and then practice speaking
128:01 like them . This kind of practice can help you
128:04 sound more natural . One note , please be aware
128:07 of the type of resources you're using . For example
128:11 , if you find a video where a speaker uses
128:13 a rare dialect , it might not be a good
128:15 idea to use that for your pronunciation . Practice unless
128:18 you have a special reason for studying a specific accent
128:21 . As a general rule , it's best to try
128:23 to search for practice resources that uses standard form with
128:26 the language are studying . Yeah . Number three Copy
128:30 What You Hear . Do you remember how you learn
128:33 to speak as a child ? We rarely learned new
128:36 words just listening to them or reading after we learned
128:38 how when we were little kids , we imitated the
128:41 sounds we heard by repeating the sounds out loud while
128:44 you're talking to a friend , watching videos or listening
128:47 to audio in your target language . You can do
128:49 this to try and replicate the way they speak .
128:53 Doing this will help you work on mastering the flow
128:55 of the language , your accent , intonation and pronunciation
128:59 . Of course , you might also pick up some
129:01 new vocabulary this way . Make sure to repeat new
129:04 words often . It's a great way to make sure
129:06 you remember them . Try doing this using a number
129:09 of different mediums and sources that way . You'll be
129:12 exposed to the diversity with the language offers and master
129:15 the fundamentals of pronunciation . For example , you can
129:19 watch and imitate several different Youtube videos and audio cds
129:23 but try a few different sources like different creators or
129:26 different audio types to make sure you experience a wide
129:29 range of communication in your target language . If you're
129:33 using our Language learning program , you can even get
129:35 your own teacher with premium plus . Your teacher can

129:45 kinds of lessons with the native teacher can really boost
129:47 your confidence in your speaking skills . Becoming able to
129:51 speak like a native is a popular goal for many
129:53 people learning a new language , it feels great to
129:56 be able to communicate smoothly , especially when the people
129:59 you're talking to expect basic level sentences or broken communication
