00:17	Yeah . Hi everyone , I'm jennifer from english with
00:21	jennifer . This is a short but fun video about
00:25	laughter . How often do you laugh ? They say
00:29	that people who laugh a lot from the heart live
00:31	happier lives laughter is a form of stress relief .
00:36	Of course , cruel laughter isn't good for anyone .
00:39	So surround yourself with healthy forms of humor . A
00:48	joke that's a little funny , but not terribly funny
00:51	. Might make me chuckle . That's a low ,
00:56	quiet laugh often with our mouth closed . Mhm .
01:03	If I'm feeling silly , I might giggle , giggling
01:08	is quick and high pitched . It's a series of
01:11	laughs . People of all ages might giggle when they
01:15	feel nervous . So it's not always a positive form
01:18	of laughter . Mm Hi everyone , I'm jennifer from
01:28	english with jennifer in this lesson . We're going to
01:31	talk about inversion . Do you know what it means
01:34	to invert something ? I'll give you a hint .
01:40	Yeah . What did I do with the hourglass ?
01:44	I inverted it . Mhm . When you invert the
01:49	hourglass , the sand pours down into the bottom part
01:56	. How about this photo ? Can you see it
01:58	properly ? Probably not . Let me invert it all
02:04	rotate it and put it right side up . Okay
02:07	, now , can you see it in grammar ?
02:13	If we invert two parts of a sentence , we
02:15	reversed their positions , you already know how to do
02:19	this . We invert the subject and verb when we
02:22	form questions . Have you ever seen such clear blue
02:26	water ? Yes , I have . I've seen beautiful
02:32	water in the Bahamas . Yeah , we can also
02:40	invert the subject and verb in sentences that use negative
02:44	adverbs . We do this when the negative adverb is
02:47	in the initial position , that means it starts the
02:50	sentence . We don't usually do this in spoken english
02:55	. It's more typical of written english because it's a
02:58	more formal structure . So you can expect to see
03:01	in version with negative adverbs more in academic writing and
03:07	literary writing . Yeah , let's practice together . Look
03:17	at this sentence first , identify the negative adverb .
03:25	Never right will move it to the beginning of the
03:29	sentence next will switch , will invert the subject and
03:34	verb only the first part of the verb will use
03:38	the helping verb first . So what's the new sentence
03:46	? Never have I seen such clear , beautiful water
03:55	. Mhm Hi everyone , I'm jennifer from english with
04:02	jennifer . How comfortable are you saying long words in
04:06	english ? Well in this video I'll help you say
04:09	and use at least one of those words comfortable and
04:15	everyday american english . We say this word with three
04:18	syllables , comfortable stresses on the first , comfortable .
04:25	It sounds like I'm saying comfortable . Let's say it
04:28	again , we'll say it slowly and then fast ,
04:31	comfortable , comfortable . You may hear some american english
04:40	speakers say this word with four syllables , comfortable ,
04:45	comfortable . But I think this variation is a little
04:48	less common . Hi everyone , I am jennifer from
04:54	english with jennifer , you may know that I've played
04:57	a lot of card games in my life . I
05:00	grew up playing popular games like blackjack , slap ,
05:04	jack , go fish and some less common games like
05:08	steal the pile and 500 . I hope that card
05:13	games don't die out because of video games and entertainment
05:16	apps . There are a lot of idioms related to
05:20	playing cards and they sure make a lot more sense
05:23	if you've actually played these games In this lesson ,
05:27	I'll share four expressions . Mhm mm mm to play
05:37	your cards right ? Means to do things in the
05:39	best way possible in order to be successful and get
05:43	what you want or get something of value . We
05:47	often use this in an if clause if you play
05:52	your cards right , you might get a promotion in
05:54	one or two years , He's a good athlete and
05:59	he could get a scholarship if he plays his cards
06:02	. Right ? Mhm Hi everyone , it's jennifer from
06:14	english with jennifer and outside in front of my home
06:18	, I live in the suburbs and this is pretty
06:20	typical for a suburban home . We have a mailbox
06:24	at the end of our driveway . This is where
06:26	we get and send our mail . If I want
06:28	to mail a letter , I put it in the
06:31	mailbox and I put up this flag to signal the
06:35	mail carrier to stop . She usually stops anyways because
06:39	we get a few letters every day if I want
06:42	to send a bigger envelope or a package , I
06:45	have to go to the post office . Now ,
06:48	some people like to decorate their mailboxes for the different
06:51	seasons or a special holiday . I decorate the mailbox
06:54	just for christmas . Hi everyone . I'm jennifer from
07:00	english with jennifer . It won't surprise you to know
07:03	that I believe everyone should know at least a little
07:06	bit of grammar . Grammar is all about patterns and
07:10	following the usual patterns helps us have clear communication .
07:17	Yeah . What's the difference between a word and a
07:24	phrase ? A word is a single piece of language
07:30	. Cat girl sing singing beautiful beautifully to from here
07:44	, A Phrase is a group of two or more
07:46	words . A beautiful girl sing beautifully for me ,
08:03	phrases aren't complete ideas . They don't have both a
08:07	subject and a verb . Sometimes we speak in phrases
08:12	if the rest is understood . What do you see
08:17	A pretty cat ? A clause is a group of
08:22	words with the subject and a verb clauses can be
08:26	short or long . The girls sang songs , entertain
08:35	us . Birds are common pets in many countries around
08:42	the world . Inside a clause , you may find
08:48	a number of phrases , some clauses can stand alone
08:59	. We call them independent clauses . An independent clause
09:04	is a simple sentence . Other clauses are dependent clauses
09:09	. We have to join these dependent clauses with an
09:12	independent clause to form a complete sentence . If you
09:19	don't know what to do with this , I can
09:21	show you . Hi everyone . I'm jennifer from english
09:36	with jennifer . Try saying Toy Boat five times fast
09:42	. Toy boat , toy boat , toy boat ,
09:44	toy boy , toy boat . It's not easy is
09:47	it ? But if I slow down , I can
09:51	do it . Toy boat . Toy boat , toy
09:54	boat , toy boat . Toy boat tongue twisters can
09:59	be short or long , but they're all designed to
10:02	twist our tongue . We can untwist it and speak
10:05	clearly . If we slow down just enough to stay
10:09	in control of our pronunciation . Mhm . Yeah .
10:59	Follow me on facebook twitter and instagram . Yeah ,
11:11	yeah .
