| 02:59 | let's look at today's lesson boards . Let's take a | |
| 03:02 | look . Today's topic is how to express wishes about | |
| 03:06 | the past . So , uh , if you joined | |
| 03:09 | last week , maybe you recognize this grammar . I | |
| 03:12 | wish I had and I should have . We're going | |
| 03:14 | to cover this again . We're going to review then | |
| 03:17 | we're going to practice . I could have and I | |
| 03:20 | couldn't have Finally . We'll end with some useful expressions | |
| 03:24 | and some very , very basic grammar . Uh practice | |
| 03:28 | . Okay , cool . So now everybody is here | |
| 03:31 | . Let's get going . Let's talk about how to | |
| 03:34 | use uh our review point again . So again , | |
| 03:39 | I covered this in last week's live stream and I | |
| 03:42 | want to review it because one it's a very useful | |
| 03:45 | grammar point , uh a useful pattern . But also | |
| 03:49 | I want to review um the verb form we use | |
| 03:52 | many people uh struggled a bit with this verb form | |
| 03:55 | last week . So let's review uh different example sentences | |
| 03:59 | from last week if you joined . So the first | |
| 04:02 | way to express a wish about the past is with | |
| 04:07 | I wish I had , I wish I had or | |
| 04:11 | I should have , I should have . You can | |
| 04:14 | choose one of these two . We tend to use | |
| 04:17 | I wish I had together with a simple past tense | |
| 04:23 | like point . So when we say for example when | |
| 04:26 | I was a kid or this morning or last year | |
| 04:30 | , like we tend to express a specific point in | |
| 04:34 | time with I wish I had you can use I | |
| 04:39 | should have to express the same feeling , but you | |
| 04:42 | can drop , it's very common to drop the specific | |
| 04:45 | past point in time . Okay , so to make | |
| 04:50 | these patterns we use , I wish I had plus | |
| 04:53 | the past participle form of the verb . I should | |
| 04:56 | have plus past participle form too . So a reminder | |
| 05:01 | , the past participle form is not past tense . | |
| 05:04 | Uh it is not the infinitive form . So for | |
| 05:08 | example , I wish I had eaten or I should | |
| 05:11 | have eaten . That special form of the verb with | |
| 05:15 | eat in this case needs to be used here last | |
| 05:18 | week . I saw many in the chat using the | |
| 05:21 | I N . G form . That's not correct . | |
| 05:24 | Like eating or drinking , that's not correct . So | |
| 05:27 | you need to use the past participle form . So | |
| 05:30 | for today's lesson , of course you can send your | |
| 05:32 | comments in the chat . You can send example sentences | |
| 05:35 | in the chat and I will try to check live | |
| 05:38 | . Okay , let's go to some examples and a | |
| 05:42 | quick refresh . What does this mean ? So this | |
| 05:45 | pattern means uh the desired action did not happen . | |
| 05:50 | So I wish I had or I should have something | |
| 05:53 | . Something means the desired action . The thing I | |
| 05:57 | want , the action I wanted did not happen and | |
| 06:01 | I feel unhappy about it . So let's look at | |
| 06:05 | some examples . I wish I had taken some economics | |
| 06:10 | classes in school . I wish I had taken some | |
| 06:14 | economics classes in school . I wish I had taken | |
| 06:19 | is my past participle verb some economics classes plural here | |
| 06:25 | in school . So I've used I wish I had | |
| 06:29 | this . I wish I had pattern and I've used | |
| 06:32 | it together with this simple , like I'm talking about | |
| 06:35 | a past point in time or past period in school | |
| 06:39 | here . Yeah . So this is a very common | |
| 06:42 | example sentence I wish I had and a past point | |
| 06:47 | , quick note , pronunciation note . I wish I | |
| 06:50 | had , I wish I had becomes reduced . We | |
| 06:53 | reduce this to I wish I'd So at native speed | |
| 06:57 | , I would say this sentence like I wish I | |
| 06:59 | had taken some economics classes in school . It's quite | |
| 07:02 | quick . Yeah . Like I wish I had becomes | |
| 07:04 | , I wish I'd taken , I wish I'd take | |
| 07:06 | him . So this I had in particular is reduced | |
| 07:10 | to I'd wish I'd taken some economics classes in school | |
| 07:15 | . Okay , so let's look at the second example | |
| 07:18 | here . I should have gone to bed earlier last | |
| 07:23 | night . I should have gone to bed earlier last | |
| 07:26 | night and it's very common to use this without last | |
| 07:30 | night . Just I should have gone to bed earlier | |
| 07:32 | . I should have gone to bed earlier . Right | |
| 07:35 | . Here is another pronunciation point . I should have | |
| 07:38 | . I should have , this should have is reduced | |
| 07:42 | to Suga should have gone to bed earlier . I | |
| 07:44 | should have gone to bed earlier . Okay . Uh | |
| 07:50 | , Mario has a good question . What about , | |
| 07:52 | I wish I could as a instead of I wish | |
| 07:55 | I had yeah , you can use , I wish | |
| 07:57 | I could have to express that something in the past | |
| 08:02 | was impossible . But you wanted to do it . | |
| 08:05 | So I wish I could have taken some economics classes | |
| 08:09 | in school . Totally correct , totally correct . It | |
| 08:12 | means it was impossible . Maybe your schedules too busy | |
| 08:15 | . For example , this one just means I did | |
| 08:18 | not do it . I wish like I had , | |
| 08:22 | so I wanted to . So the nuance changes there | |
| 08:26 | . His journey on Youtube says , I wish I | |
| 08:28 | had studied more for my exam . Good , nice | |
| 08:31 | example . Okay . Um , Taro Drc's should have | |
| 08:35 | gone . No , that is a very common mistake | |
| 08:37 | that native speakers make a lot in speech should have | |
| 08:41 | gone . Sounds like should've gone . Should have gone | |
| 08:44 | . So many native speakers make a mistake right here | |
| 08:47 | . They use of uh , oh f of totally | |
| 08:52 | incorrect , totally wrong . Should have gone , should | |
| 08:55 | have gone . So please don't use of there . | |
| 08:58 | It is totally incorrect . And yes , native speakers | |
| 09:01 | make that mistake a lot . Why don't I make | |
| 09:04 | a new video for ask Alicia ? There's new videos | |
| 09:06 | every about every week . I think . I think | |
| 09:09 | so . Okay . And I don't see other questions | |
| 09:13 | . So let's look at the negative and yeah , | |
| 09:15 | okay , let's compare this to the negative . I | |
| 09:18 | wish I hadn't and I shouldn't have I wish I | |
| 09:22 | hadn't and I shouldn't have plus the past participle verb | |
| 09:25 | the same verb form here yet . I wish I | |
| 09:28 | hadn't eaten or I shouldn't I shouldn't have eaten this | |
| 09:32 | shouldn't have is should not have and this I wish | |
| 09:36 | I hadn't is I wish I had not . Okay | |
| 09:41 | I wish I had not I shouldn't have is I | |
| 09:44 | should not have for this means an undesirable action happened | |
| 09:50 | . So the negative pattern this negative pattern means something | |
| 09:53 | in the past happened . Yes but it was not | |
| 09:57 | good . I do not want that action . It | |
| 10:00 | was bad . It was not not a good situation | |
| 10:03 | . So let's look at some examples of this . | |
| 10:06 | I wish I hadn't watched so much tv this year | |
| 10:13 | . I wish I hadn't watch so much tv this | |
| 10:15 | year . Some people ask can I use to hear | |
| 10:18 | T . 00 Oh no no you cannot use to | |
| 10:21 | I wish I hadn't watched so much tv this year | |
| 10:25 | . So that means I watched a lot of T | |
| 10:27 | . V . I wish I had not watched that | |
| 10:31 | much Tv . Uh Austin says uh question Alicia I | |
| 10:35 | wish you were here . How about that ? Grammatically | |
| 10:38 | correct , grammatically correct . I wish you were here | |
| 10:40 | , expresses a wish about the present though to express | |
| 10:44 | a wish about the past . I wish you had | |
| 10:47 | been there . I wish you had been there . | |
| 10:50 | So you can change this right here in these patterns | |
| 10:53 | to express a wish about someone else . Okay is | |
| 10:58 | this alive or premier ? This is alive . We're | |
| 11:00 | alive every week . Uh What Giancarlo on facebook says | |
| 11:05 | . What about present participle of that example ? Do | |
| 11:08 | you mean ? Maybe this example ? Uh Like uh | |
| 11:13 | I'm not sure which example that you mean . I'm | |
| 11:16 | not sure . Okay . Uh Let's go to Next | |
| 11:21 | example centers . Okay . Uh One more I should | |
| 11:24 | have spent more time studying last month . I should | |
| 11:27 | have spent more time studying last month . So in | |
| 11:31 | other words I did not spend very much time studying | |
| 11:34 | last month . And now I feel sad . So | |
| 11:37 | I should have spent more time studying last month . | |
| 11:41 | So here's my past participle verb . I should have | |
| 11:44 | spent more time study . All right , That's it | |
| 11:49 | for the first part . Again . This is a | |
| 11:51 | review from last week . So we'll cover some new | |
| 11:54 | stuff from part two today . Okay . Um Batna | |
| 11:58 | says what about you ? Wish ? Yes you wish | |
| 12:00 | you can use you wish to mean like usually as | |
| 12:03 | a joke like you wish like something you want . | |
| 12:06 | That's something you want . Not me . So kind | |
| 12:09 | of different from today's topic . Okay let's take a | |

| 12:55 | how to express wishes about the past which should have | |
| 12:59 | and could have and a couple other things too . | |
| 13:02 | So we are focusing on this past thing , right | |
| 13:05 | ? We're focusing on talking about things we regret or | |
| 13:09 | maybe things that were funny or embarrassing . Okay , | |
| 13:13 | So let's go to part two . Let's look at | |
| 13:15 | our lesson boards very quickly . So we talked about | |
| 13:20 | this point , our review point from last week . | |
| 13:22 | Now let's talk about could let's talk about could have | |
| 13:25 | and couldn't have and then we'll end with some quick | |
| 13:28 | and useful expressions . Okay , so also reminder . | |

| 13:37 | find the lesson and share . Of course to that | |
| 13:39 | would be super cool . Okay , um let's go | |
| 13:43 | to part two . Part two . Could have okay | |
| 13:48 | , let's talk about . Could have This one confuses | |
| 13:51 | many people , so we have visuals , we have | |
| 13:53 | diagrams . Okay , so could have , I could | |
| 13:56 | have plus plus , plus past participle verb , I | |
| 14:01 | could have past participle verb . So this pattern is | |
| 14:05 | the same as the pattern we used in part one | |
| 14:08 | . Right ? We use could . That's the only | |
| 14:11 | change here . I could have plus ever . So | |
| 14:14 | what does this mean ? You cannot use this instead | |
| 14:17 | of ? Should have like the grammar is correct . | |
| 14:21 | Yes , but the meaning changes . So what does | |
| 14:24 | this mean ? For example , I could have eaten | |
| 14:27 | something . This means an action was possible in the | |
| 14:32 | past . So here's a timeline , past now , | |
| 14:36 | future . An action was possible in the past but | |
| 14:41 | it did not happen . It did not happen . | |
| 14:44 | So we want to express possibility . Past possibility . | |
| 14:49 | Okay . An action was possible in the past but | |
| 14:52 | it did not have . So this one is very | |
| 14:57 | common with if sentence patterns , if I had something | |
| 15:02 | something , I could have something . Something . Yeah | |
| 15:05 | , we practice conditional is quite often on these channels | |
| 15:09 | . So , uh , we're going to practice a | |
| 15:11 | couple of these with an if pattern , you can | |
| 15:14 | send yours in the chat . I will try to | |
| 15:16 | check live . Okay , okay , I'm looking for | |
| 15:20 | your questions too . So let's take a look at | |
| 15:22 | our could have example sentences , then I could have | |
| 15:27 | learned a new skill this year . If I had | |
| 15:31 | been able to focus , I could have learned a | |
| 15:35 | new skill this year . If I had been able | |
| 15:39 | to focus . So let's break this down here . | |
| 15:43 | I'll use market real quick . What's happening here ? | |
| 15:47 | I could have learned a new skill this year . | |
| 15:51 | So here is where my here's where my main clause | |
| 15:54 | ends . Yeah , I could have learned a new | |
| 15:56 | skill this year . So right here , Oh , | |
| 15:59 | this is really hard . Okay , right here marks | |
| 16:03 | , this past action that was possible . I could | |
| 16:07 | have learned a new skill this year . But then | |
| 16:10 | I say if I had been able to focus , | |
| 16:14 | that means I was not able to focus . It | |
| 16:17 | was difficult for me to focus . It was a | |
| 16:19 | strange year . So it did not happen . So | |
| 16:23 | we have these two parts , this if part and | |
| 16:27 | this main part . There are two parts here . | |
| 16:29 | So I'm not going to talk about if conditional today | |
| 16:32 | , but this is how we use could have let's | |
| 16:35 | look at another example . This uses the opposite order | |
| 16:38 | . If is at the beginning of the sentence . | |
| 16:41 | So if I had seen your message , if I | |
| 16:47 | had seen your message , I could have helped you | |
| 16:51 | . If I had seen your message , I could | |
| 16:53 | have helped you . So in this one we have | |
| 16:56 | right here is our main cause . I could have | |
| 16:59 | helped you . It goes to here . Yeah , | |
| 17:02 | I could have helped you . So that was the | |
| 17:05 | possible action . I could have helped you . It | |
| 17:08 | was possible . But here I have . If I | |
| 17:11 | had seen your message , If I had seen your | |
| 17:15 | message , this means I did not see your message | |
| 17:18 | . I did not see your message . So this | |
| 17:21 | did not happen . I did not help you . | |
| 17:24 | So we just want to express that past possibility . | |
| 17:28 | Also at native speed , we reduce these sounds right | |
| 17:32 | here . I could have So this I could have | |
| 17:36 | learned . Sounds like I could have learned . I | |
| 17:38 | could have learned this whole sentence . I'll read the | |
| 17:41 | sentence one time at native speed . Sounds like I | |
| 17:45 | could have learned a new skill this year . If | |
| 17:46 | I'd been able to focus . So my reduction , | |
| 17:50 | The short sounds come right here . I could have | |
| 17:53 | And if I had been , these are the main | |
| 17:58 | big reductions here . I could have learned becomes could | |
| 18:02 | have and if I had been able , this part | |
| 18:05 | becomes if I'd if I had been able . Okay | |
| 18:10 | , so if I had seen your message , I | |
| 18:12 | could have helped you . So please make sure to | |
| 18:15 | use that reduction , that short sound in your speech | |
| 18:18 | . Okay . Uh some of you are sending examples | |
| 18:21 | so I will read a few out loud . Um | |
| 18:25 | Zuzanna Orban . I'm sorry if I said your name | |
| 18:30 | , Rona says I could have learned english if I | |
| 18:33 | had had time if I had had time . So | |
| 18:37 | a quick reminder when sometimes this verb is have the | |
| 18:42 | past participle form is had if I had had , | |
| 18:46 | so there's two had there . It's correct . I | |
| 18:48 | know it seems strange . It's correct though . If | |
| 18:51 | I had had time . Okay uh Chong me on | |
| 18:58 | facebook says what is the difference between could have helped | |
| 19:01 | you ? Like I could have helped you and could | |
| 19:03 | help you . So I could have helped you is | |
| 19:07 | a passed sentence like pattern . I could have helped | |
| 19:11 | you in the past . I could help you means | |
| 19:14 | now . So like do you have time now ? | |
| 19:17 | I could help you . Mm It's like an offer | |
| 19:19 | . Now . I could have helped you means in | |
| 19:22 | the past but it didn't happen . Okay . I | |
| 19:25 | hope that helps . Okay , wow , lots of | |
| 19:28 | examples are coming in . Um A J . Gabriel | |
| 19:32 | says , can we say I could have played played | |
| 19:36 | piano better ? Uh if I still learn it , | |
| 19:40 | you know , you can I'm not quite sure um | |
| 19:44 | what you want to express . Maybe I could have | |
| 19:46 | played piano better if I had studied more maybe . | |
| 19:52 | Mm So this this is also a past structure . | |
| 19:56 | Yeah . Past structure . Okay . Uh , some | |
| 20:01 | of you and your example sentences on Youtube . You're | |
| 20:03 | forgetting this half . I could have studied . I | |
| 20:08 | could have learned so don't forget your helping verb here | |
| 20:11 | . Yeah , this is important . Okay . All | |
| 20:14 | right , let's go to the negative form then too | |
| 20:18 | . The negative form . I couldn't have past participle | |
| 20:22 | verb , I couldn't have past participle verb . So | |
| 20:26 | I want to say this one is not as common | |
| 20:28 | as this one . So we use this one uh | |
| 20:32 | fairly often . Sometimes in speech this is less common | |
| 20:37 | . So what do we use this pattern for ? | |
| 20:39 | I could not have plus past participle verb . We | |
| 20:43 | use this for an action or a condition . Usually | |
| 20:48 | it's for a condition . So we want to express | |
| 20:51 | some state a status . So an action or a | |
| 20:55 | condition was not possible in the past because of a | |
| 21:02 | different past action . So what's the difference ? I | |
| 21:06 | could have here expresses something was possible in the past | |
| 21:11 | . So it's uh it didn't happen . No , | |
| 21:14 | but it was possible . This one is the opposite | |
| 21:18 | . This action in the past was not possible . | |
| 21:21 | It's impossible . So we want to express that . | |
| 21:25 | So one example , again , this one is not | |
| 21:28 | as common . So I couldn't have known you were | |
| 21:34 | coming today . I didn't see your message . I | |
| 21:38 | couldn't have known you were coming today . I didn't | |
| 21:41 | see your message . This means it was impossible for | |
| 21:46 | me to know you were coming today . So I | |
| 21:49 | didn't know . And there was no chance for me | |
| 21:52 | to know because I didn't see your message . I | |
| 21:57 | didn't see your message . So this one we don't | |
| 22:00 | really use these if clauses with we don't really use | |
| 22:04 | that . We use kind of a short past tense | |
| 22:07 | example , sent a past tense explanation usually . So | |
| 22:13 | what's happening here is I'm expressing this impossible action . | |
| 22:18 | I couldn't have known you were coming today and this | |
| 22:21 | sentence expresses the reason it was impossible . I didn't | |
| 22:26 | see your message . So we used this past tense | |
| 22:28 | . Yeah , I didn't see . So this is | |
| 22:32 | different from the positive here . So I'm expressing this | |
| 22:38 | is the condition where this action would have been possible | |
| 22:44 | . So this is quite different to the two patterns | |
| 22:48 | . Okay . Helen says what's the difference between ? | |
| 22:50 | Could have and should have I talked about should have | |
| 22:52 | in the beginning of this lesson . So please check | |
| 22:55 | this stream after it has finished role . Okay , | |
| 22:59 | I'm looking for your questions . Uh people are just | |
| 23:04 | writing . I didn't see your message , I didn't | |
| 23:05 | see your message . I couldn't have booked a ticket | |
| 23:10 | because I didn't know about it . So again , | |
| 23:13 | don't forget this helping verb . I couldn't have booked | |
| 23:18 | a ticket , I couldn't have done something so don't | |
| 23:22 | forget those helping verbs . Yeah okay . Um we | |
| 23:28 | can say and we could say what's the difference between | |
| 23:31 | them ? Can you give me an example like we | |
| 23:35 | can we can use those to talk about like examples | |
| 23:40 | or to imagine situations . Yeah . Uh kinda depends | |
| 23:44 | a bit Ok . Oh my gosh let's go to | |
| 23:47 | the end like that's all for part two . If | |

| 24:55 | . Okay , so here is our flow for today | |
| 24:59 | . Um , so first we talked about this part | |
| 25:02 | right here , how to express wishes about the past | |
| 25:05 | with , I wish I had and I should have | |
| 25:08 | and shouldn't have . And we just finished this part | |
| 25:12 | , I could have and I couldn't have . Now | |
| 25:14 | let's finish with some very basic , very kind of | |
| 25:17 | funny expressions you can use , uh , to react | |
| 25:22 | two situations so you can react or you can share | |
| 25:25 | your feeling about those past situations , about past regret | |
| 25:30 | are about something funny or embarrassing that happened in the | |
| 25:34 | past . Okay . Okay . Let's go to the | |
| 25:39 | final points . Someone says , what is the difference | |
| 25:43 | between has and had . I have many videos about | |
| 25:47 | has and dad . Uh , please do a quick | |
| 25:49 | search of our videos on our Youtube channel . Maybe | |
| 25:54 | I'm not sure if it's on the facebook page , | |
| 25:56 | but please make sure to do a search for that | |
| 25:58 | . I have made many videos . Okay , useful | |
| 26:01 | expressions . Let's take a look at some useful expressions | |
| 26:05 | or like reacting . So how do you express your | |
| 26:09 | feelings about your past action ? For example , I | |
| 26:13 | ate too much junk food and I use a pattern | |
| 26:16 | like , uh , I shouldn't have eaten so much | |
| 26:20 | junk food yesterday . I feel sick . That was | |
| 26:24 | so stupid . That was so stupid . So this | |
| 26:29 | , that was so , is a great pattern to | |
| 26:33 | use to express your feelings about a past condition or | |
| 26:38 | past action that you did . So I shouldn't have | |
| 26:42 | eaten so much junk food . That was so stupid | |
| 26:45 | . Oh no , so stupid means . Uh , | |
| 26:48 | it was not smart . Stupid is the opposite of | |
| 26:51 | smart . So generally don't , don't say someone else | |
| 26:54 | is stupid . That's not very nice . But you | |
| 26:56 | can make a joke about yourself with stupid . That | |
| 26:59 | was so stupid . So when I do something not | |
| 27:03 | smart , I often said that was stupid . So | |
| 27:06 | you can use it to all right , You can | |
| 27:09 | use other adjectives in this pattern . You can send | |
| 27:12 | them as well too . So that was so funny | |
| 27:14 | as well . Like , oh , that was so | |
| 27:17 | embarrassing . Like , oh my gosh , I shouldn't | |
| 27:20 | have done the presentation with the coffee stain on my | |
| 27:24 | shirt . That was so embarrassing , embarrassing means it | |
| 27:29 | causes us to feel shame . We feel ashamed . | |
| 27:32 | Something that is embarrassing . You can also use crazy | |
| 27:37 | . Crazy . Well , I was so crazy . | |
| 27:39 | So something that was hard to believe or just like | |
| 27:43 | really , really uh kind of not normal you could | |
| 27:47 | say . Well that was so crazy . Uh , | |
| 27:50 | dumb is the same as stupid . So that was | |
| 27:53 | so dumb . Oh , that was dumb . So | |
| 27:56 | you can express something was not smart , not smart | |
| 28:00 | and fun . Of course you can be positive too | |
| 28:03 | . Oh , that was so fun . That was | |
| 28:05 | so fun . Yeah , so you can use these | |
| 28:08 | to react as well . For example , your friend | |
| 28:11 | says , oh , I wish I had joined you | |
| 28:14 | on that camping trip last month . You can say | |
| 28:17 | , oh yeah , I wish you could have joined | |
| 28:20 | to . That was so fun or it was so | |
| 28:24 | fun . Okay , all right , so let's look | |
| 28:29 | at an example of this . Another one . I | |
| 28:31 | wish I hadn't forgotten my wallet at home this morning | |
| 28:35 | . That was so stupid . That was stupid . | |
| 28:38 | So here's how we use the two together . We | |
| 28:41 | express our regret , our wish about the past and | |
| 28:46 | we use this pattern to express our feeling about it | |
| 28:51 | . Okay , All right , so let's finish up | |
| 28:54 | with a couple of just real quick expressions that you | |
| 28:58 | can use this one . I can't believe I did | |
| 29:03 | that . I can't believe I did that . Use | |
| 29:06 | this expression when you feel surprised or shocked about your | |
| 29:11 | action . So for example , I forgot my wallet | |
| 29:15 | at home . Like , oh no , I forgot | |
| 29:17 | my wallet at home . I can't believe I did | |
| 29:20 | that . A native speed . He said , I | |
| 29:23 | can't believe I did that . I can't believe I | |
| 29:25 | did that . So we're shocked at our own behavior | |
| 29:29 | . Here's another one when you make a bad decision | |
| 29:33 | . When you make a bad decision , everybody makes | |
| 29:36 | bad decisions . Sometimes when you do that , you | |
| 29:39 | can say that was not a smart move . That | |
| 29:44 | was not a smart move move means decision here . | |
| 29:48 | So imagine like chess a board game or something , | |
| 29:52 | you make a move . We call this a move | |
| 29:55 | a noun like move . And when it's a dangerous | |
| 29:59 | move or you lose something , it's like , oh | |
| 30:03 | , that was a bad decision . That was not | |
| 30:06 | a smart move . That was not a smart move | |
| 30:09 | . Okay , so a native speed that sounds like | |
| 30:11 | , oh , that was not a smart , that | |
| 30:12 | was not a smart , but that was not a | |
| 30:14 | smart move . That was not a smart move . | |
| 30:17 | Another thing you can do is this use sarcasm , | |
| 30:21 | say great job , but with this face . So | |
| 30:24 | when you make a mistake , when you regret something | |
| 30:28 | , you can say great job , great . So | |
| 30:32 | this is a very common way to respond sarcastically . | |
| 30:36 | You can use this to lastly , lastly , let's | |
| 30:40 | end on a positive note . Yeah , something positive | |
| 30:43 | . I'll do things differently next time I'll do things | |
| 30:48 | differently in the future . So this is I will | |
| 30:52 | , yeah , so I'm using Will because I decide | |
| 30:55 | in the moment , so I will do things . | |
| 30:59 | So that means like this situation , the things in | |
| 31:02 | this situation , I'll do things differently next time , | |
| 31:09 | I'll do things differently next time or I'll be in | |
| 31:12 | the future . So this is a nice positive expression | |
| 31:15 | to finish today , I think , okay , who | |
| 31:20 | be covered it all Great job . Alright , so | |
| 31:23 | that's everything for this week . I'm looking for your | |
| 31:25 | questions . I'll wait for another minute or so and | |
| 31:30 | uh we'll wrap up there . So while we wait | |
| 31:32 | I will show you our lesson boards again one more | |
| 31:35 | time . So you can take a screenshot if you | |
