| 04:16 | , where are you facebook ? Where did you go | |
| 04:19 | ? Okay , so let's take a look at our | |
| 04:21 | lesson boards for today . Then our lesson boards for | |
| 04:25 | today Look like this . So we're going to talk | |
| 04:29 | about each .1 x one , how to use yet | |
| 04:32 | , how to use already and how to use still | |
| 04:36 | . So let's get started with the first point for | |
| 04:39 | today's lesson . The first point for today's lesson is | |
| 04:43 | how to use yet , how to use yet . | |
| 04:46 | So let's take a look . Also . If you | |
| 04:49 | forgot , please make sure to like and share this | |
| 04:52 | video so that other people can find it . That | |
| 04:54 | would be super super cool . Alrighty . Then let's | |
| 04:58 | take a look . Let's take a look . How | |
| 05:00 | do we use yet If you joined . Let's see | |
| 05:04 | if you joined last week's live lesson . I talked | |
| 05:07 | a little bit about yet and the focus grammar was | |
| 05:10 | present . Perfect . So we're going to talk about | |
| 05:13 | this grammar at this .1 more time . So let's | |
| 05:17 | begin how to use yet . What is the deal | |
| 05:20 | ? So in blue here we use yet to emphasize | |
| 05:25 | to make the feeling stronger , to emphasize an incomplete | |
| 05:30 | action or condition that you expect will be completed . | |
| 05:37 | So , and a very important point with yet is | |
| 05:42 | that expectation we expect something is going to happen or | |
| 05:48 | we expect something is going to be completed . So | |
| 05:52 | uh , this is a key I talked about last | |
| 05:56 | week . So you can use a sentence with yet | |
| 05:59 | or without yet . But when you want to communicate | |
| 06:02 | expectation , you should use yet to do that . | |
| 06:06 | Okay , so how do we make a sentence with | |
| 06:09 | yet ? We use subject in today's grammar hasn't or | |
| 06:15 | haven't , so he hasn't or I haven't depending on | |
| 06:20 | your subject , then we use the past participle form | |
| 06:24 | of the verb and end with yet . So let's | |
| 06:28 | look at some examples and please send me your example | |
| 06:31 | sentences in the chat . I will try to check | |
| 06:33 | live . Okay . The first one I haven't eaten | |
| 06:38 | lunch yet . I haven't eaten lunch yet . So | |
| 06:43 | subject is I haven't have not . So this is | |
| 06:46 | the reduced form have not become haven't Eaton is the | |
| 06:51 | past participle verb form of heat lunch . Haven't eaten | |
| 06:56 | lunch . My phrase here and yet is at the | |
| 07:00 | end . I haven't eaten lunch yet . This sentence | |
| 07:03 | is also correct . I haven't eaten lunch . This | |
| 07:06 | is just a simple fact . I haven't eaten lunch | |
| 07:09 | yet , communicates expectation . So when you want to | |
| 07:13 | show that expectation , you can include yet at the | |
| 07:16 | end of your sentence , another one . He hasn't | |
| 07:20 | returned my call yet . He hasn't returned my call | |
| 07:23 | yet . Yes , he hasn't . So in this | |
| 07:27 | sentence I use hasn't because my subject is he . | |
| 07:32 | He hasn't or he has not returned returned is the | |
| 07:38 | past participle form of return . He hasn't returned my | |
| 07:42 | call yet . He hasn't returned my call yet . | |
| 07:46 | Again . This sentence is also correct . He hasn't | |
| 07:49 | returned my call . Simple fact , he hasn't returned | |
| 07:53 | my call yet , shows I expect a call from | |
| 07:56 | him . I expect that . Great . Okay . | |
| 08:00 | All right . There are some examples coming from you | |
| 08:03 | now . Andrew says I haven't been there yet . | |
| 08:07 | Good . Nice . Okay . Uh , some other | |
| 08:09 | examples . I haven't oh , some cardiology . Right | |
| 08:14 | . I've not I've not picked up my sister or | |
| 08:16 | I've not discussed . I've not you can use it | |
| 08:21 | , but in american english . That sounds a little | |
| 08:23 | weird . Maybe in british english . It sounds a | |
| 08:26 | little bit more normal . Sorry ? Audio is low | |
| 08:29 | . Maybe british english sounds a little bit more normal | |
| 08:32 | , but we tend to use uh I have not | |
| 08:35 | . So rather than I've not . Mm I have | |
| 08:39 | not . I have not . I haven't uh , | |
| 08:44 | facebook I don't see . Okay . There's one rubber | |
| 08:46 | says I haven't eaten dinner yet . Okay . Um | |
| 08:50 | lulu says I haven't spoken to her yet . Good | |
| 08:53 | , good , good examples , nice examples . Okay | |
| 08:55 | . Another one we haven't spoken to our clients yet | |
| 09:01 | . We haven't spoken to our clients yet . Okay | |
| 09:05 | . And you haven't convinced me yet . You haven't | |
| 09:10 | convinced me yet convinced this word means like to try | |
| 09:14 | to persuade someone to uh get someone to think the | |
| 09:19 | same way you do or to get someone to agree | |
| 09:23 | with you or agree to an idea . You haven't | |
| 09:27 | convinced me yet . You haven't convinced me yet . | |
| 09:31 | Okay . So I have a note here . This | |
| 09:34 | note in blue as I said before . It sounds | |
| 09:38 | a little old fashioned uh to use yet before the | |
| 09:44 | verb , but you might sometimes hear this . So | |
| 09:49 | that means sometimes maybe in movies , I suppose you | |
| 09:54 | might hear this yet right here in this position . | |
| 09:59 | So for example , I haven't yet eaten lunch or | |
| 10:05 | he hasn't yet returned my call . You might hear | |
| 10:10 | yet used in that position , but it sounds a | |
| 10:13 | little bit old fashioned . So at least in american | |
| 10:16 | english , we don't use it in this position so | |
| 10:19 | much you can . But again , it sounds a | |
| 10:22 | little more natural to use it at the end of | |
| 10:26 | the sentence . Okay . Hey , Ronnie writes , | |
| 10:29 | we haven't planned to ends and plan yet . Not | |
| 10:32 | planed planned , planned our trip yet . Wanzhou says | |
| 10:36 | I haven't gotten a haircut yet . Haven't got a | |
| 10:39 | haircut . Okay . Uh , other examples Diallo on | |
| 10:43 | facebook I haven't taken , so the past participle form | |
| 10:47 | of take is taken yet . I haven't taken a | |
| 10:50 | shower yet . Uh , yellow . Alright . Cool | |
| 10:54 | High teacher . I'm washing from Laos . Cool , | |
| 10:56 | welcome . Hey Laos . Okay . Last point for | |
| 11:00 | this part , which to use yet or still I'm | |
| 11:03 | going to talk about still at the end of today's | |
| 11:06 | lesson . What's the deal yet ? Or still because | |
| 11:09 | they have similar ideas yet . It sounds like just | |
| 11:14 | a neutral report of expectation . I haven't eaten lunch | |
| 11:19 | yet but I expect to still however communicates a negative | |
| 11:26 | feeling . It usually has a negative feeling . This | |
| 11:29 | thing is not done and that's bad . So that's | |
| 11:33 | the difference between yet and still for today's list . | |
| 11:37 | So I'm going to talk about this again later so | |
| 11:40 | please don't worry . All right . That's it for | |
| 11:44 | part one . Let's go to part two . We'll | |
| 11:47 | take a quick break . Great . Um , if | |

| 12:52 | above or below the video . All right , let's | |
| 12:55 | go to part two then how to use already . | |
| 12:58 | And also if you haven't , please make sure to | |
| 13:00 | like and share this video so others can find today's | |
| 13:05 | lesson already . Let's go . Let's go how to | |
| 13:10 | use already . How to use already . So today's | |
| 13:14 | lesson is going to focus on using already with present | |
| 13:19 | perfect tense and I'll talk about some other tenses later | |
| 13:23 | . But let's look at present perfect tense first . | |
| 13:26 | Okay . Okay so present , perfect . We use | |
| 13:30 | already to emphasize or make stronger a complete action or | |
| 13:37 | condition a complete action or condition that is expected . | |
| 13:43 | So again there's expectation about this action . Okay so | |
| 13:49 | let's look at some present perfect example sentences . I | |
| 13:53 | have two patterns here because already is sometimes used in | |
| 13:58 | this position and sometimes used in this position . It's | |
| 14:02 | up to you . You can choose . So subject | |
| 14:05 | has already verb or subject have already verb . Again | |
| 14:12 | you need to change has or have according to your | |
| 14:17 | subject . Also subject has or have verb already . | |
| 14:23 | You can use it in this position after the verb | |
| 14:26 | verb phrase or before . So let's practice this . | |
| 14:32 | Okay , someone already sent an example ruby . I | |
| 14:35 | have already done my work . Very nice . Okay | |
| 14:38 | . Uh so here I've already eaten lunch . I've | |
| 14:45 | already eaten lunch . I've so this is I have | |
| 14:50 | the reduced form of I have I have already eaten | |
| 14:54 | lunch again . This sentence is also correct . I've | |
| 14:58 | eaten lunch . This sentence is also correct . What's | |
| 15:01 | the difference ? Already communicates expectation . You expect I'm | |
| 15:08 | going to eat lunch or I expect I'm going to | |
| 15:10 | eat lunch . I want to communicate that . So | |
| 15:13 | your coworker or your classmate says , hey , do | |
| 15:18 | you want to eat lunch ? You can say , | |
| 15:20 | oh now I've already eaten lunch . I've already eaten | |
| 15:24 | lunch . We communicate expectation with this word . Okay | |
| 15:30 | , next , he's already cancelled the meeting . He's | |
| 15:34 | already cancelled the meeting . So there is some expectation | |
| 15:40 | about the meeting being canceled and it happened , it's | |
| 15:46 | finished , it's complete . So this shows expectation Again | |
| 15:50 | , this sentence , he's canceled the meeting . He | |
| 15:53 | has canceled the meeting . That's also correct . We | |
| 15:57 | communicate that expectation okay . Everybody is writing about the | |
| 16:02 | meals they've already eaten . I've already eaten lunch . | |
| 16:05 | I've already eaten breakfast . I've already eaten dinner . | |
| 16:07 | It's an easy one , Right ? It's an easy | |
| 16:10 | one . Okay . Think about something like a work | |
| 16:13 | or study example sentence . Yeah , that's a good | |
| 16:16 | one . Let's practice with that one . Okay , | |
| 16:19 | here's another good one . I think we've seen that | |
| 16:23 | movie already . I think we've seen that movie already | |
| 16:28 | . You can use this to reply to an invitation | |
| 16:32 | like , hey , do you want to see this | |
| 16:34 | movie ? Do you want to watch this movie ? | |
| 16:36 | You can say , I think we've or I think | |
| 16:39 | I've seeing that movie already . So again , it | |
| 16:44 | shows you understand the other person's expectations . Okay , | |
| 16:51 | great . Uh huh . Motto says he has already | |
| 16:54 | visited paris Good . Marco says I've already gone to | |
| 16:57 | bed . Good . Are you writing from your bed | |
| 16:59 | ? So good . Okay . Orlando says I have | |
| 17:02 | already finished my homework . Good , good , good | |
| 17:06 | , good . Uh , a nice example . Bill | |
| 17:09 | a wall says she is already married . Yeah , | |
| 17:12 | you can use this in different sentence structures for sure | |
| 17:16 | . Good , good , good . Okay , let's | |
| 17:20 | continue to the last point here I mentioned , we | |
| 17:24 | can use this already in different grammar structure so not | |
| 17:28 | just present . Perfect though that's today's focus grammar . | |
| 17:33 | We can also use it for example with simple past | |
| 17:38 | , simple past subject already past tense verb like she | |
| 17:45 | already left or I already quit . So again we're | |
| 17:49 | communicating expectation . She already left . The action is | |
| 17:53 | finished . I already quit and the action is finished | |
| 17:57 | . So these again this this is a simple past | |
| 18:01 | and present . Perfect question . Both are correct and | |
| 18:04 | lots of situations . Uh just the use of present | |
| 18:08 | perfect shows an action affects the present more strongly than | |
| 18:14 | this one . I'm not going to get into detail | |
| 18:17 | about this grammar point in today's lesson though . Okay | |
| 18:21 | , so you can use already here before the verb | |
| 18:23 | or after the verb in simple past tense as well | |
| 18:27 | . She already left . I already quit . Then | |
| 18:30 | somebody earlier sent a message about using this with adjectives | |
| 18:36 | to uh you can also use this in present tense | |
| 18:40 | to express a condition that happened faster than expected . | |
| 18:47 | So something again , expectation . But something was very | |
| 18:51 | happened very quickly . For example you are already hungry | |
| 18:57 | . We ate 30 minutes ago . So the speaker | |
| 19:01 | is surprised the listener is hungry like 8:30 minutes ago | |
| 19:05 | . Why are you hungry ? You're already hungry again | |
| 19:09 | . So you can use this in different grammar patterns | |
| 19:13 | today . I wanted to focus on these . Okay | |
| 19:17 | Uh some others are coming in . I already finished | |
| 19:20 | my project . Good job . I have already made | |
| 19:24 | it . Okay . Made what ? Um Someone G | |
| 19:27 | G . O . Says I have already seen your | |
| 19:28 | videos on Youtube . Thanks for checking those out . | |
| 19:32 | Um All right . I see lots of . Okay | |
| 19:38 | , let's let's move on because time is good quickly | |
| 19:40 | . So this is how we used already in a | |
| 19:43 | few different grammar points . Uh but I wanted to | |
| 19:47 | focus on the present . Perfect . Today . Okay | |
| 19:50 | , we'll take one more short , super short break | |
| 19:53 | and then we'll go to still the last point for | |
| 19:56 | today's lesson so quickly . If you missed it . | |

| 20:21 | , let's go to the last part of today's lesson | |
| 20:24 | . The last part is about still how to use | |
| 20:27 | still . And also if you haven't , please make | |
| 20:30 | sure to like this video and share it so others | |
| 20:32 | can find lesson . Oh kids dokey . Hello to | |
| 20:36 | everyone joining . Hello . Some people write Hello sir | |
| 20:41 | . Did you know sir , is used for a | |
| 20:42 | man ? Yeah sir is used for a man . | |
| 20:45 | You can say hello miss for example , it will | |
| 20:48 | be good some of you right hello ma'am . Okay | |
| 20:51 | let's go to still still how to use still use | |
| 20:56 | still to emphasize to make stronger . You still to | |
| 21:00 | emphasize an incomplete action to emphasize an action that has | |
| 21:06 | not finished , not done . But we expect the | |
| 21:11 | action will be completed so we expect to complete the | |
| 21:16 | action or it's an unchanged condition that you expect will | |
| 21:24 | change and unchanged condition or an incomplete action again , | |
| 21:29 | we expect it's going to change generally still sounds negative | |
| 21:37 | . So the difference between yet and still for today's | |
| 21:41 | lesson is that this one still usually sounds negative , | |
| 21:46 | something is not finished and that's bad . How do | |
| 21:51 | we make a sentence with still subject still haven't or | |
| 21:57 | hasn't past participle verb again , this is a present | |
| 22:02 | perfect sentence structure . Still I still haven't something he | |
| 22:07 | still hasn't something so notice still comes before this part | |
| 22:13 | . Yeah , we saw different placements for already and | |
| 22:17 | yet . So let's look at some examples . I | |
| 22:21 | still haven't finished my homework . I still haven't finished | |
| 22:26 | my homework . So still right here shows my homework | |
| 22:30 | is incomplete is not done and that's bad . I | |
| 22:36 | still haven't finished my homework . So This sentence is | |
| 22:40 | correct . I haven't finished my homework . Also 100% | |
| 22:43 | correct but still shows a negative feeling and the incomplete | |
| 22:50 | action that we expect . The sentence . I haven't | |
| 22:53 | finished my homework yet is also 100% correct but there's | |
| 22:57 | no negative feeling there . It's just a report . | |
| 23:01 | Just expect to finish my homework but it's not done | |
| 23:05 | . Mm This sounds a little sad . I still | |
| 23:08 | haven't finished my homework . More examples here's when you | |
| 23:13 | can use as a confirmation question to check someone else | |
| 23:18 | . For example , you send your friend a text | |
| 23:20 | message on saturday and you say you still haven't gotten | |
| 23:25 | up . So to get up means to get out | |
| 23:27 | of bed . Yeah . You still haven't gotten up | |
| 23:31 | . It's three p.m. You still haven't gotten up . | |
| 23:34 | It's three p.m. So this shows the speaker is surprised | |
| 23:38 | and feels like negative about this action . This action | |
| 23:43 | to get up right here . They expect to be | |
| 23:46 | complete but it's not complete . So you can use | |
| 23:49 | this to express surprise . You still haven't ever oh | |
| 23:54 | my gosh so you can use that pattern to express | |
| 23:57 | surprise . You still haven't finished your homework or you | |
| 24:01 | still haven't finished that project . What are you doing | |
| 24:04 | ? So you can use this pattern to express that | |
| 24:07 | feeling Okay . All right next one . Okay . | |
| 24:12 | Some examples are coming in everybody today everybody is using | |
| 24:16 | meals . I still haven't eaten breakfast . I still | |
| 24:19 | haven't eaten lunch . Okay . All right here's one | |
| 24:23 | he still hasn't replied to my message . He still | |
| 24:28 | hasn't replied to my message . Can use this at | |
| 24:31 | work at school in your personal life . Whatever . | |
| 24:34 | He still hasn't replied to my message or she still | |
| 24:37 | hasn't replied to my message . So this shows you | |
| 24:40 | expect a response . You expect a reply but you | |
| 24:44 | have not received the reply and that's bad . It's | |
| 24:48 | kind of a negative thing . He still hasn't replied | |
| 24:50 | to my message . I hope he's okay . I | |
| 24:53 | hope it's ok . Okay . All right . Uh | |
| 24:57 | last one . She still hasn't found a new job | |
| 25:02 | . She still hasn't found a new job . So | |
| 25:05 | again uh this communicates that we're not happy about this | |
| 25:10 | . We expect she'll find a new job but it | |
| 25:14 | hasn't happened yet . Okay . Um Good some examples | |
| 25:20 | . Suki says I still haven't watched that movie , | |
| 25:24 | I still haven't watched that movie . You need a | |
| 25:27 | word there . Um That movie . The movie . | |
| 25:30 | Okay . Carlos . You still haven't taken a shower | |
| 25:34 | . Good example . Good example . Okay . Uh | |
| 25:38 | chosen john says I still haven't gone downtown . You | |
| 25:42 | don't need to the I still haven't gone downtown . | |
| 25:45 | No . To the downtown . Uh We used to | |
| 25:48 | uh with a specific place still haven't gone down . | |
| 25:53 | Okay . Uh Last one a couple one point I | |
| 25:56 | said usually uh still communicates a negative feeling but you | |
| 26:01 | might hear it in a sentence like this with time | |
| 26:06 | . So this is a different type of sentence than | |
| 26:09 | these examples but I want to make sure we talk | |
| 26:12 | about it . It's still five p.m. Let's go out | |
| 26:16 | for dinner . What does this mean ? This still | |
| 26:19 | you might hear still in this position or only in | |
| 26:23 | this position ? You check your watch . Oh it's | |
| 26:25 | still five PM . Or it's just five PM . | |
| 26:28 | Or sometimes it's still justified PM . Or it's still | |
| 26:32 | only regardless . The idea is the same . That | |
| 26:36 | means the speaker is surprised because it seems early . | |
| 26:41 | Maybe it's really dark outside and you think it's late | |
| 26:45 | like eight o'clock . Nine o'clock . I don't know | |
| 26:48 | . So but you check your watch . Oh it's | |
| 26:50 | still five p.m. This communicates uh surprise about the time | |
| 26:56 | . So you might hear this pattern sometimes used in | |
| 27:00 | this case . It's for a surprise . It's not | |
| 27:02 | a negative . Okey . Um All right . Last | |
| 27:10 | point then . Note still can also be used in | |
| 27:15 | simple past structures . So I covered present perfect today | |
| 27:21 | mostly . But we can use this in simple past | |
| 27:24 | as well . For example I told my roommate to | |
| 27:29 | wash the dishes three times but he still forgot . | |
| 27:34 | He still forgot . So this use of still with | |
| 27:37 | simple past tense feels like even though or despite . | |
| 27:43 | So Even though I told my roommate to wash the | |
| 27:46 | dishes three times he forgot . So still shows that | |
| 27:51 | negative expectation . Yeah we can use it in sentences | |
| 27:55 | like these two . So but again today's focus grammar | |
| 27:58 | was really present perfect tense . Okay uh Can I | |
| 28:05 | use still in simple future ? Like with will are | |
| 28:08 | going to uh Yes you can like for example , | |
| 28:13 | even if I move to a new city uh to | |
| 28:16 | start a new life , I will still have to | |
| 28:20 | I don't know uh pay rent for example something . | |
| 28:24 | Uh You uh that will not change . Yes , | |
| 28:27 | you can use it in those grammar points as well | |
| 28:31 | . All right , Alma says I am still not | |
| 28:36 | sleeping . Could I say it like that ? Depending | |
| 28:39 | on what you want to communicate . Like if you | |
| 28:42 | recently if you have had trouble sleeping for example and | |
| 28:47 | you talked with a friend or someone about it , | |
| 28:49 | you could say I still am not sleeping or I'm | |
| 28:53 | still not sleeping if somebody knows about a continuing situation | |
| 28:59 | . Yes . And it communicates that negative condition . | |
| 29:02 | Yes . You can't use that . Okay . Uh | |
| 29:05 | I'm late . So let's finish there for today . | |
| 29:08 | I'll show you today's lesson board so you can take | |
| 29:10 | a picture of everything we talked about . So again | |
| 29:14 | , I focused on one grammar point today , but | |
| 29:17 | we covered a lot of little things in today's lesson | |
| 29:20 | yet already and still you can take a picture if | |
| 29:24 | you want to review that later . All right . | |
| 29:26 | Uh , so that is it for today's lesson next | |

| 29:32 | february 17th , Wednesday , february 17th or thursday the | |
| 29:38 | 18th , depending on your time zone . Next week | |
| 29:40 | , I'm going to talk about how to describe a | |
| 29:44 | past experience and I'm going to focus on a basic | |
| 29:49 | grammar . Very , very basic grammar point adjectives with | |
| 29:52 | past tents , adjectives with past tense . So , | |
| 29:56 | uh , like the movie was exciting or uh , | |
| 30:02 | dinner was really fun . So we're going to focus | |
| 30:05 | on past experiences and how to talk about those kinds | |
| 30:10 | of things . I'll focus on this , but we'll | |
