00:51 | to pronounce . The grime . The door to my | |
00:53 | apartment was big rhymed in the storm . Last week | |
00:57 | breakfast the next word is breakfast . Breakfast is hard | |
01:01 | to pronounce , but that is the meaning of breakfast | |
01:03 | . You're breaking the fast so fast is a period | |
01:05 | of time without eating . And to break means to | |
01:08 | well in this case breaking something , it doesn't refer | |
01:11 | to like crushing thing , but stopping something to break | |

01:19 | so your fasting during the night , you're not eating | |

01:37 | with this . They say colleague or they say colleague | |
01:40 | , you or something because the spelling of this word | |

02:20 | Or just other un categorized stuff . I keep a | |
02:23 | lot of miscellaneous items in a drawer in my house | |
02:27 | . Maybe they don't they don't really fit into one | |
02:29 | category . Like it's not kitchen things , it's not | |
02:32 | clothing , it's just sort of a mixture of things | |

02:39 | negotiation , negotiation . Yeah . There are two teas | |
02:42 | in this but neither T . Is a hard T | |
02:44 | . They're both very soft that she should sound because | |

02:48 | she a negotiation negotiation refers to a compromise between two | |

03:14 | fantasy world is sort of the nuance of this phrase | |
03:16 | . The realm in a sentence . Let us go | |
03:18 | to the realm where the elves live and eat their | |
03:23 | bread . Unfortunately the next word is unfortunately unfortunately unfortunately | |
03:30 | just means too bad . You can use this to | |

11:30 | . Let's start . I don't need to learn anything | |
11:32 | anymore . I don't need to learn anything anymore . | |
11:35 | If you say this , you sound like I know | |

11:55 | be studying more . I'm concerned about your grades , | |
11:57 | Jeff . I don't need your advice mom . I | |
12:00 | know everything , I know everything . This is awful | |

12:28 | See how stupid that sounds more new york . I'm | |
12:33 | right and you're wrong , I'm right and you're wrong | |
12:35 | . You sound awful when you say there's nobody likes | |
12:39 | to hear that they've made a mistake and that you're | |
12:41 | happy about that . That's what the nuance of this | |
12:43 | phrase is . I'm right , you're wrong . Don't | |
12:45 | say this phrase unless you're very very close with the | |
12:48 | other person and you know that it's okay to joke | |
12:50 | together , I'm right , you're wrong . It's too | |
12:53 | hard . Don't even try , it's too hard . | |

12:59 | before you've even started doing something . If you don't | |
13:02 | try you never know . Right ? Hey , I | |
13:04 | think I'm going to start studying english this week because | |

13:15 | . I guess I won't don't do that . Just | |
13:18 | do what I say . Just do what I say | |
13:21 | . Just do what I say . Parents might use | |
13:23 | this phrase a lot with their Children actually . But | |
13:26 | if you say this to your friends or to your | |
13:27 | colleagues , you're gonna sound like a really mean or | |
13:30 | difficult to work with person . Just do what I | |
13:32 | say . We can't do that . The next phrase | |
13:36 | is we can't do that . This could also be | |
13:37 | changed to , I can't do that again . This | |
13:40 | sounds like you're giving up before you even tried to | |
13:42 | do something . I can't do that . You're just | |
13:44 | , you're not prepared or you're not even willing to | |
13:46 | try . Hey stevens . Do you think that you | |
13:48 | could take care of this report for next week ? | |
13:50 | We need it for our client meeting ? No , | |
13:52 | I don't think I can do that . No , | |
13:54 | that's that's not my job . That's not my responsibility | |
13:56 | . You're not very smart . You're not very smart | |
13:59 | . That's not a nice thing to say . If | |
14:00 | someone makes a mistake and you say , oh , | |
14:03 | you're not very smart . That's so mean . It's | |
14:05 | so rude . Everybody makes mistakes from time to time | |
14:08 | . Don't tell them that they're stupid . Don't say | |
14:10 | you're not very smart . That's hurtful . And an | |
14:12 | example of what not to do . I'm so so | |
14:15 | sorry about this mistake that I made in my report | |
14:18 | last week . I'll fix it . I promise I'll | |
14:19 | fix it and I'll send it to you right away | |
14:21 | . I can't believe you made such a simple mistake | |
14:23 | . You're not very smart , are you ? Everybody | |
14:27 | makes mistakes . You'll never succeed . You'll never succeed | |
14:31 | . You'll never succeed . This is a phrase that | |
14:33 | shows you're not supporting the other person and maybe you're | |
14:37 | even trying to hold them back . How awful is | |
14:39 | that ? Who would say that ? Don't say that | |
14:41 | . I hope no one ever says this to you | |
14:44 | . I'm gonna join a marathon race next summer . | |
14:46 | I can't wait a marathon . You're never gonna succeed | |
14:49 | with that . Do you know how hard those are | |
14:51 | ? Have you even started training ? Well , no | |
14:54 | , but I think I can do it . I | |
14:55 | just need a few months and you know , I | |
14:57 | need to take care of myself and work hard . | |
14:59 | No way . There's no way that you can do | |
15:01 | that . It's not possible . Oh , you really | |
15:03 | think so ? I was so looking forward to it | |
15:05 | too . Thank goodness . That's the end . Oh | |
15:08 | my gosh ! Those were some sad phrases . I | |
15:11 | hope that nobody says those phrases to you . But | |
15:13 | I hope also that you don't use these phrases with | |
15:16 | other people because they're hurtful . Really try to be | |
15:19 | positive . So thanks very much for joining us for | |
15:21 | this lesson and we will see you again soon . | |
15:23 | Bye . I'm very insecure about my acting abilities . | |
15:27 | Well , there's sound coming through this . I love | |
15:32 | the awkward pauses . Hi everybody , welcome back to | |
15:36 | top words . My name is Alicia and today we're | |
15:38 | going to talk about 10 different ways to remember words | |
15:41 | . So these are actually um , some ways to | |
15:43 | remember words that you have sent in to us . | |
15:46 | So I'm really excited to see what your recommendations are | |
15:49 | . I study other languages . So let's talk about | |
15:52 | it . Let's see . I associate new words with | |
15:54 | words that sound similar in my native language . If | |
15:57 | you're studying english , um , your native language might | |
16:00 | share some words . So like I'm studying japanese and | |
16:04 | for example , the word chocolate sounds very , very | |
16:07 | similar in , in japanese . So in english , | |
16:10 | the word is chocolate in japanese , the word is | |
16:12 | chock Loreto , so it sounds similar . Um , | |
16:15 | so that's an easy word for me to remember . | |
16:17 | I learned about the roots of words and how different | |
16:20 | words are related to each other . Many words in | |
16:22 | english have roots in very very old languages like latin | |
16:27 | . So a word like omniscient for example can be | |
16:30 | broken down into maybe two parts uh the omni omni | |
16:34 | meaning all or everything and she ain't the she and | |
16:37 | part relates to knowledge or knowing . So together the | |
16:40 | word means all knowing omniscient . Maybe you can guess | |
16:44 | the meaning even if it's the first time you've seen | |
16:46 | the word . Okay I listen to songs and memorize | |
16:50 | the lyrics . This is also a common way to | |
16:53 | help kids learn things too through songs opposite to be | |
16:57 | plus or minus the square root B squared minus four | |
17:00 | . Is he all over to a it's a quadratic | |
17:02 | function equation because it's a song it's still in my | |
17:05 | head . Thank you Mrs Time . I often watch | |
17:09 | T . V . Or Youtube videos that are designed | |
17:11 | for young Children . That's how Children in the native | |
17:14 | language learn . So it's a great tool for you | |
17:17 | don't be embarrassed to do that . I do that | |
17:19 | in english , we have Dora , the Explorer , | |
17:21 | we have sesame street . I speak as often as | |
17:24 | possible with native speakers , a native speaker can go | |
17:27 | up . That's that's a strange thing that you're saying | |
17:29 | . So there are a lot of small factors that | |
17:31 | you can't get unless you're speaking with a native speaker | |
17:34 | . So this is a really really great tip . | |
17:36 | If you're interested in doing this with us , we | |
17:39 | have on english class one on one dot com , | |
17:42 | A special subscription which is called the elite level of | |
17:45 | subscription where you get to actually study with one of | |
17:48 | our teachers here . Um so if if you don't | |
17:51 | have somebody that you can study with now that might | |
17:53 | be a way to do it . Please check that | |
17:55 | out . if you're interested . I try to use | |
17:58 | the language routinely in the context of daily life , | |
18:01 | when you're alone , just doing stuff at home , | |
18:04 | like making breakfast or cooking or doing the laundry . | |
18:06 | If you use the language just to say like now | |
18:09 | I'm going to , I don't know , cut vegetables | |
18:12 | or oh , I need to do laundry later today | |
18:14 | or thinking about your appointment . Whatever Another good example | |
18:18 | is really I put my phone into my target language | |
18:21 | . You're telling little stories when you're having conversations with | |
18:24 | people . So get used to telling yourself the story | |
18:27 | . I use repetition , reading writing and speaking words | |
18:30 | over and over again . Keep repeating in your studies | |
18:33 | . Um , even if it feels like , you | |
18:35 | know , you're not making any progress , you are | |
18:37 | just just the act of doing that repetition can be | |
18:40 | helpful for you . If a football player never throws | |
18:43 | a football , he's not going to be able to | |
18:45 | throw it very well , is he ? You have | |
18:47 | to repeat , repeat , repeat . And then when | |
18:49 | you're faced with the actual situation where you need to | |
18:52 | throw the football , you need to use that vocabulary | |
18:55 | word , you're ready . You already know how to | |
18:57 | say the word . So yes , repeat . It's | |
18:59 | good . I try to think in english , so | |
19:01 | it becomes natural to my thought process . I do | |
19:04 | this . I think about what I need to do | |
19:06 | , I think about what I have done , I | |
19:08 | think about what I'm going to do . Um and | |
19:10 | so in that way you can practice past tense , | |
19:12 | future tense and present tense Recently . This has been | |
19:15 | happening to me . I've started dreaming in japanese from | |
19:17 | time to time or I dream bilingual . E it's | |
19:20 | exciting . I think I tried to use the word | |
19:22 | in a simple sentence so I learned whole phrases , | |
19:24 | not just individual words . Yes , this is a | |
19:27 | huge tip . So vocabulary is important of course if | |
19:31 | you don't know a keyword , you might miss the | |
19:33 | meaning of something , but context is important too . | |
19:37 | So there might be two words which seem very similar | |
19:39 | like big and large for example . Um but when | |
19:42 | should I use large ? When should I use big | |
19:44 | ? Like if your clothes shopping and you say do | |
19:47 | you have this in a big size ? It might | |
19:49 | not be the correct way to use the word instead | |
19:52 | . Do you have this in a large size is | |
19:54 | the correct phrase ? So learning how to use the | |
19:57 | correct vocabulary word at the correct time is important and | |
20:00 | you can do that through studying sentences and phrases instead | |
20:04 | of just vocabulary . This is why reading is important | |
20:07 | . I feel reading as much as possible , especially | |
20:10 | the newspaper helps me to remember words when I was | |
20:13 | a kid . I just read everything I was , | |
20:15 | I was so into reading . I loved it and | |
20:17 | I think that it helped , it actually helped my | |
20:19 | language skills improve even in my native language . Again | |
20:23 | . At first it's really hard to do and you | |
20:24 | might have to use a dictionary a lot , but | |
20:27 | you'll learn gradually more natural speaking patterns , more natural | |
20:31 | writing patterns to which will help you to sound more | |
20:33 | natural when you speak . And maybe you can help | |
20:36 | your listening skills to when you can listen for those | |
20:38 | patterns that you see in textbooks that you see in | |
20:41 | newspapers and novels , whatever . It's a great tool | |
20:44 | . Reading and thank goodness that's the end . So | |
20:47 | those are 10 tips that you can use to remember | |
20:50 | new words and new phrases . Try them out . | |
20:52 | I'm going to be doing my best with my target | |
20:54 | language . I hope that you do to thank you | |
20:57 | very much for watching . Please please please subscribe to | |
20:59 | our channel if you have not already and we will | |
21:02 | see you again soon for more exciting information by how | |
21:05 | to the bathroom . Hi everyone . I'm Christine from | |
21:10 | english Class 101 dot com . In this video , | |
21:13 | we'll be talking about how to curse like an english | |
21:16 | native speaker , piss a slang term for urine . | |
21:20 | For example , don't piss your pants . You can | |
21:25 | say this when you're really scared or anxious . For | |
21:30 | example , if you're about to go on stage to | |
21:34 | make a speech or perform , someone can say , | |
21:37 | don't piss your pants , you can do it pissed | |
21:41 | off to be really angry when I'm angry , I | |
21:46 | can say , hey , I'm really pissed off at | |
21:48 | you right now . Why did you do that for | |
21:51 | loser ? Used to describe an uncalled person in high | |
21:56 | school , my friends and I would use this a | |
21:58 | lot and we would say , hey loser , how's | |
22:02 | it going idiot ? Used to insult people by saying | |
22:06 | they're not intelligent of all the mean things that you | |
22:09 | can say , this is on the lighter side , | |
22:12 | but people still use it . Shoot , this is | |
22:16 | used to show disappointment or frustration without using a stronger | |
22:20 | curse word . Shoot , I spilled my coffee , | |
22:23 | shut up . You can use this when you want | |
22:26 | them to be quiet or there's something surprising that you | |
22:31 | just heard , you can say shut up . No | |
22:34 | way ticked off to be really angry . You can | |
22:38 | say this with pissed off . So this is actually | |
22:43 | an older term . Not many people use this as | |
22:46 | much anymore because most people actually just use pissed off | |
22:50 | fool . This is similar to saying someone is like | |
22:53 | a clown . You can say you're acting like a | |
22:56 | fool right now jerk . This is a light insult | |
22:59 | used to describe someone who is mean . For example | |
23:03 | , if there's someone bullying another person , that person | |
23:07 | is being a jerk whip . This means someone who | |
23:11 | isn't strong . There is a movie out right now | |
23:16 | called Diary of a Wimpy Kid . Have you seen | |
23:19 | it ? Have you not ? I haven't yet . | |
23:22 | So how was it ? If you have any more | |
23:24 | questions , please leave a comment below . See you | |
23:27 | next time . The most alopecia . That means we're | |
23:32 | going to the movie theater . Right ? All right | |
23:37 | , Hi everybody . My name is Alicia . Welcome | |
23:39 | back to top words today we're gonna be talking about | |
23:42 | must know expressions for agreeing and disagreeing . Very useful | |
23:46 | . So let's go exactly exactly . When you agree | |
23:50 | . 100% with something someone else has said , you | |
23:53 | can say exactly . For example , ramen is one | |
23:56 | of the best foods in the world . Exactly . | |
23:59 | I don't agree . I don't agree . You have | |
24:01 | a different opinion from the other person , they tell | |
24:04 | you , I think that soccer is the best sport | |
24:06 | you can say . I don't agree , but be | |
24:08 | prepared to provide your own opinion after this . I | |
24:12 | think soccer is the best sport . I don't agree | |
24:14 | . I think that football is oh , that could | |
24:17 | cause some problems . Soccer , Football americans say football | |
24:20 | when we mean american football , but the rest of | |
24:22 | the world says football when they mean soccer , maybe | |
24:26 | maybe it's when you don't know when you can't make | |
24:29 | a decision or when you're not sure about something . | |
24:32 | Okay , so someone tosses you an opinion . Someone | |
24:34 | says their , their idea to you . I think | |
24:37 | it's gonna rain tomorrow . You can say yeah , | |
24:38 | maybe you don't know for sure yes or no , | |
24:41 | but it's possible It's a good sort of in between | |
24:44 | expression . But if you use maybe all the time | |
24:46 | it's gonna sound really strange and it's gonna sound like | |
24:49 | you can't make a decision . So use may be | |
24:51 | very sparingly . Don't use it so often . Maybe | |
24:54 | is very commonly used as a soft . No , | |
24:57 | it's up to you to figure that out among the | |
24:59 | people that you're talking to though . You want to | |
25:01 | stay over at my house this weekend and maybe I | |
25:04 | couldn't agree with you more . You are in complete | |
25:08 | agreement with the other person and really want to communicate | |
25:11 | that to them . You think that what they have | |
25:13 | just said is really really correct . Super correct . | |
25:16 | Yes . You are completely on board with that idea | |
25:20 | . You can say I couldn't agree with you more | |
25:23 | . I couldn't the negative form . I could not | |
25:25 | agree with you more , meaning it's not possible that | |
25:29 | I could agree more with what you're saying next week | |
25:33 | . It's really important that we have a barbecue because | |
25:36 | summer is ending . And then your friend can say | |
25:39 | I couldn't agree more . That's a fantastic idea . | |
25:42 | I'll buy steak . I think we're going to have | |
25:46 | to agree to disagree , agree to disagree . This | |
25:50 | is a kind of it seems like a simple phrase | |
25:53 | . Agree to disagree . So you're agreeing with the | |
25:56 | other person . You agree that we have a different | |
25:59 | opinion , agree to disagree . I would use this | |
26:03 | expression at the end of a discussion . So person | |
26:06 | A . And person B . Have different opinions and | |
26:08 | they've been discussing those opinions for a long time . | |
26:11 | And person A . Is not changing his or her | |
26:14 | opinion . Person B . Is not changing his or | |
26:16 | her opinion . So you can say at the end | |
26:18 | of the conversation , okay , we have to agree | |
26:20 | to disagree . Let's just accept our different opinions and | |
26:25 | move on in the conversation . You have a point | |
26:28 | there . This is not necessarily a an agreement or | |
26:32 | disagreement phrase . It's a small agreement within a larger | |
26:36 | discussion . So maybe you've been discussing a topic for | |
26:39 | a long time and you've disagreed with the other person | |
26:44 | until this this time this person says something and you | |
26:48 | agree with that . You have a point there . | |
26:50 | So there is one thing that this person has said | |
26:53 | that you can agree with . You can say you | |
26:55 | have a point there . I think that's correct or | |
26:57 | I agree with that point . That's exactly how I | |
27:00 | feel . That's exactly how I feel , meaning . | |
27:04 | My feeling is the same as your feeling or my | |
27:07 | opinion is the same as your opinion . That's exactly | |
27:10 | how I feel . Maybe you can use this . | |
27:12 | If someone describes your feeling very accurately . For example | |
27:16 | you can say I feel like the company is really | |
27:18 | heading in a nice new direction . You can say | |
27:20 | yeah that's exactly how I feel . I really like | |
27:23 | the new boss . I don't think so . I | |
27:25 | don't think so . It's soft , it's not so | |
27:29 | direct , it's not a hard I disagree but just | |
27:32 | I don't think so . Of course you can use | |
27:34 | it to discuss opinions but you can also use it | |
27:36 | when you're making plans . Are you going to that | |
27:39 | party this weekend ? And I don't think so . | |
27:41 | It's not a disagreement but it can be used as | |
27:43 | a negation phrase and a negative response to something when | |
27:48 | used as an opinion . I think chinese is the | |
27:50 | hardest language to learn . You can say I don't | |
27:52 | think so . I think that Arabic is the hardest | |
27:55 | language to learn . Yes , you're right , yes | |
27:58 | , you're right means you're correct . Yes , I | |
28:00 | agree with you . I think that's the right information | |
28:02 | . I think that's the correct opinion . Just a | |
28:04 | very clear agreement phrase . You're right . It also | |
28:08 | has the nuance of being correct . So maybe there | |
28:11 | was there were there was a possibility the other person | |
28:14 | could be incorrect . Did you know that pepperoni pizza | |
28:17 | is the most delicious pizza in the world ? Yes | |
28:21 | , you're right . You can change it to that's | |
28:23 | right for that opinion . You can use your to | |
28:26 | talk specifically about the person itself , but that's right | |
28:29 | . Yes , that's right . That information is correct | |
28:32 | . I guess so . I guess so . It's | |
28:34 | an agreement but it's sort of a flaky agreement I | |
28:37 | guess . So . It's like you don't really want | |
28:40 | to make a decision but you don't feel strongly in | |
28:43 | one like an agreement or disagreement , you can say | |
28:46 | , I guess so . It's usually said with this | |
28:49 | tone of voice I guess . So . You know | |
28:51 | , we don't really say , I guess so . | |
28:52 | Generally it's like you can't quite make a decision or | |
28:55 | you don't want to make a decision . You can | |
28:58 | say , I guess so . But hey , we're | |
28:59 | gonna go for chinese food for dinner tonight , do | |
29:01 | you wanna come ? Yeah , I guess so . | |
29:03 | You don't feel strongly either way . I guess so | |
29:06 | . I'm afraid I disagree . It's a rather polite | |
29:09 | expression that you can use in a business situation for | |
29:11 | example , I'm afraid here doesn't mean I'm actually scared | |
29:15 | or I'm really frightened , but just it's a softener | |
29:18 | that's used at the beginning of sentences to introduce a | |
29:20 | negative opinion . So I'm afraid I disagree or I'm | |
29:24 | afraid I can't agree with you . For example , | |
29:26 | I think that you need to adopt a new policy | |
29:28 | for your company , I'm afraid I disagree . It's | |
29:31 | a soft disagreement that sounds a bit more formal than | |
29:35 | some of the other phrases we've talked about so far | |
29:37 | . Absolutely , absolutely means 100% . Yes , exactly | |
29:41 | , precisely , definitely . It's a quick and clear | |
29:44 | and can be polite as well as casual , um | |
29:48 | , word that means you agree with the other person | |
29:51 | . Hey , do you want to go to the | |
29:52 | beach this weekend ? Yeah , absolutely . Absolutely . | |
29:54 | Oh , that's in . So those are some phrases | |
29:58 | that you can use to agree and disagree with other | |
30:01 | people . There are a lot of them . So | |
30:02 | , and you can kind of mix and match them | |
30:04 | as you see fit . So give them a try | |
30:07 | . Thanks very much for watching this episode of Top | |

31:24 | leave a comment below , See you next time . | |
31:27 | Hi everybody , welcome back to top words . My | |
31:29 | name is Alicia and today we're going to talk about | |
31:32 | 10 mistakes that native English speakers make . So let's | |
31:36 | get started . Less fewer . Okay , so the | |
31:41 | first mistake that native speakers make is they confuse less | |
31:45 | and fewer . Less and fewer are very similarly used | |
31:49 | . However , there's a key grammar difference between them | |
31:53 | . We use the word less to refer to Uncountable | |
31:56 | Knowns a quantity of uncountable Knowns . We use fewer | |
32:01 | for countable noun . So for example , to use | |
32:05 | fewer , I could say I made fewer mistakes on | |
32:08 | this test than I did on the last one . | |
32:10 | And to use less , I could say I made | |
32:13 | less money last year than I did this year . | |
32:15 | So when you want to use when you want to | |
32:18 | make a comparison with accountable . Now , when you | |
32:21 | want to talk about a smaller quantity of something or | |
32:24 | smaller amount of something uh with a countable . Now | |
32:28 | you should use fewer if you're talking about an uncountable | |
32:32 | now you should use less . So please be careful | |
32:35 | . Less and fewer . Less . Uncountable , fewer | |
32:38 | accountable . Your your the next pair is actually a | |
32:43 | spelling related mistake . It's your and your . So | |
32:47 | Y . Ou R . And Y . O . | |
32:49 | U . Apostrophe R . E . Your is the | |
32:53 | possessive like something that belongs to you , is yours | |
32:58 | your item . Uh Why O . U . Apostrophe | |
33:01 | R . E . Is the contracted form of you | |
33:04 | are you are great , you are funny , you | |
33:06 | are tired . For example native speakers often make spelling | |
33:10 | mistakes because these two words sound the same but actually | |
33:14 | they are grammatically different . So another example sentence . | |
33:18 | Um your performance was really great . My parents think | |
33:22 | you're great , my parents think you're great . So | |
33:25 | here we have the apostrophe R . E . You're | |
33:28 | so please be careful . Native speakers often make this | |
33:30 | spelling mistake there . There there . Okay , so | |
33:36 | the next mistake that many native speakers make is again | |
33:39 | , a spelling related mistake . It's with the three | |
33:42 | types of there . There is uh there as an | |
33:46 | over there , a location , there's they're T H | |
33:50 | E I R . The possessive form something belonging to | |
33:53 | them and th E Y . Apostrophe R . E | |
33:58 | . The contracted form of they are native speakers often | |
34:01 | make spelling mistakes with these three words because they sound | |
34:05 | the same . They're they're they're they all sound the | |
34:07 | same , but in terms of grammar they have different | |
34:11 | functions . So in an interesting sentence , you could | |
34:14 | say they're in their car over there or they're over | |
34:17 | there in their car so we can use all of | |
34:20 | these words in the same sentence , but in order | |
34:24 | to correctly express the meaning , we need to make | |
34:27 | sure the spelling is correct . It's it's the next | |
34:32 | one . The next mistake that many native speakers make | |
34:35 | is a punctuation mistake usually . Uh the difference here | |
34:39 | is between it's with an apostrophe and it's without an | |
34:42 | apostrophe . So the word it's with an apostrophe can | |
34:47 | be the contracted form of it is or it has | |
34:51 | depending on the sentence , it's with no apostrophe just | |
34:54 | means the possessive form of something . Um so something | |
34:58 | which belongs to it , some it outside this discussion | |
35:02 | . So um native speakers often forget which , which | |
35:06 | one gets an apostrophe . Does the possessive get an | |
35:09 | apostrophe or not ? So no , the possessive form | |
35:13 | does not take an apostrophe here . Um the only | |
35:16 | apostrophes are for the contracted form of it is and | |
35:20 | it has . So please don't make this mistake that | |
35:23 | native speakers make in a sentence . I saw Star | |
35:26 | Wars . It's a really cool movie . It's effects | |
35:29 | are awesome . Nuclear versus nuclear . Okay , the | |
35:34 | next mistake is a pronunciation mistake . Many native speakers | |
35:38 | make this mistake . Many high ranking officials , presidents | |
35:42 | make this mistake , politicians make this mistake . The | |
35:45 | word nuclear nuclear is spelled n You see l e | |
35:50 | a R nuclear . However many people pronounce this as | |
35:55 | nuclear for some reason , I don't know why this | |
35:58 | is , but many people say nuclear instead of nuclear | |
36:01 | . If you pay attention to the news , you'll | |
36:03 | probably hear this . After a short discussion of this | |
36:06 | topic . Somebody will say the word nuclear . I | |
36:08 | don't know why this is , but nuclear nuclear is | |
36:11 | the correct pronunciation of this word . Don't pronounce nuclear | |
36:15 | as nuclear could have versus could of . Okay , | |
36:20 | the next mistake that native speakers make is again , | |
36:23 | a spelling , usually a written , a written problem | |
36:26 | . It's could have and could have could have and | |
36:30 | could have . So actually could of is is the | |
36:34 | mistake here . We don't use the could could of | |
36:37 | is not a grammar point here . Rather when native | |
36:41 | speakers use the contracted form of could have it sounds | |
36:45 | like could have . So for example , I could | |
36:48 | have come to the party if I finished my homework | |
36:50 | or I could have met you last weekend . Or | |
36:52 | I could have could have blah blah blah . It | |
36:55 | could have could have but when speaking in speech it | |
36:59 | sounds like of I could have I could have because | |
37:03 | the contracted form sounds like like of it makes a | |
37:07 | sound of sound . So sometimes native speakers right ? | |
37:11 | Could of however , this is incorrect . We should | |
37:15 | write could have if you want to use the like | |
37:18 | expanded the regular form instead of the contracted form . | |
37:21 | So could have should be used uh Instead of could | |
37:26 | could've is a mistake please use could have instead . | |
37:29 | Okay , so one more example sentence I could have | |
37:32 | explained better effect vs . Effect . So the next | |
37:38 | mistake that many native speakers make is with words , | |
37:41 | the words effect with an E . And effect with | |
37:44 | an A . Um . While there are some maybe | |
37:47 | um less common differences between how these words are used | |
37:51 | , especially the word effect with an E . In | |
37:55 | most situations we can consider the difference of these two | |
37:59 | words to be in grammatical function . The word effect | |
38:03 | with an E is typically typically used as a noun | |
38:07 | as in a side effect or the effect of something | |
38:10 | . When we use affect with an A . It's | |
38:12 | typically used as a verb in a sentence like this | |
38:15 | change is going to affect my life or I don't | |
38:18 | want to affect your family . For example , when | |
38:21 | we use it as a verb , we should use | |
38:23 | a the a spelling when we use a noun . | |
38:26 | We should use the E spelling . Yes . There | |
38:29 | are some situations where effect with an E is used | |
38:32 | as a verb in , let's see , for example | |
38:35 | , in situations where we want to explain a change | |
38:39 | occurring or something which causes a change we say to | |
38:43 | effect change meaning causing something or in order to do | |
38:46 | something . But again , that uses is um not | |
38:50 | as common as what I talked about before the noun | |
38:54 | and the verb differentiation of these two . Um so | |
38:58 | if you like , you can look more into that | |
39:00 | . But in general , uh consider E as your | |
39:03 | non form of effect and a as your verb form | |
39:06 | of effect , example sentences the drug had a strong | |
39:10 | effect . The drug affected my body . There's a | |
39:14 | lot of so , okay , so the next mistake | |
39:17 | that people make is they begin a sentence with , | |
39:20 | there's there is the contracted form of there is they | |
39:23 | say there's a lot of and then they complete the | |
39:26 | statement with the plural form of the noun . Like | |
39:29 | there's a lot of people in here or there is | |
39:31 | a lot of blah , blah blahs , like cookies | |
39:33 | in the kitchen . The problem here is that we're | |
39:35 | beginning the sentence with theirs . There is the singular | |
39:39 | form . There is so that means that the noun | |
39:42 | that follows that phrase also needs to be in the | |
39:45 | singular . There's there is something we can't use the | |
39:49 | plural form here . Um , so many native speakers | |
39:52 | , maybe they don't think about the next part of | |
39:54 | the sentence and they begin their sentence with . There's | |
39:57 | something something something . This is a very common mistake | |
40:00 | actually , if you're using the plural form of the | |
40:03 | noun , you need to use their art instead . | |
40:05 | There are a lot of people in the room , | |
40:07 | there are a lot of cookies in the kitchen , | |
40:09 | for example . So think about plural now and the | |
40:13 | plural form of is or are in the singular as | |
40:16 | well . So this is a very common one . | |
40:18 | Be careful of that vague use of pronouns . The | |
40:23 | next one is a huge problem in writing . So | |
40:26 | people are sometimes very vague , vague means unclear about | |
40:31 | using uh like pronouns , him or her or he | |
40:35 | or she , especially in cases where there might be | |
40:38 | many people involved in a situation . So if for | |
40:42 | example , I say he gave the book to her | |
40:44 | after he finished reading it . Like how many people | |
40:47 | are involved in this situation ? I said he gave | |
40:50 | the book to her after he finished reading it . | |
40:53 | There are two , he's in that sentence . Are | |
40:55 | they the same person ? We don't know . So | |
40:58 | it can be very important to identify all the actors | |
41:01 | in a sentence or in a paragraph to prevent confusion | |
41:05 | . So if it is a situation like that where | |
41:07 | I say something like he gave the book to her | |
41:10 | after he finished it , but there are two different | |
41:12 | men involved in that sentence . I might say like | |
41:15 | Mike gave her the book after Gary finished it for | |
41:18 | example . Or if uh it's mike the whole way | |
41:22 | through , I could say Mike gave mary the book | |
41:24 | once he had finished reading it . For example , | |
41:27 | we could change the sentence slightly if we really want | |
41:30 | to make it clear . Um but just make your | |
41:33 | um all of your pronouns should be very very clear | |
41:36 | to your reader if you use he and she and | |
41:39 | it's not clear who you're talking about . You can | |
41:42 | really confuse the person listening or the person reading , | |
41:45 | so please be careful of this faulty parallelism . The | |
41:50 | next one is faulty parallelism or in other words . | |
41:53 | Um it's a grammatical function where all the items in | |
41:57 | a list , usually in a list or um in | |
42:00 | bullet points as well , all the items in those | |
42:03 | lists are in those categories should have the same grammatical | |
42:07 | type of expression . So by that , I mean | |
42:09 | if you're using a noun phrase for everything , all | |
42:12 | the items should be a noun , you should use | |
42:14 | a noun phrase for everything If you're using verbs or | |
42:16 | if you're using a complete sentence or depending on your | |
42:19 | situation , the grammar of each one of those items | |
42:23 | in the list should be the same . So sometimes | |
42:26 | people will say for example , I like cooking and | |
42:30 | reading and watch a movie . The problem here is | |
42:33 | I've used cooking , reading . So these are two | |
42:35 | like I'm using the gerund form , so they're essentially | |
42:38 | like mountains . So cooking and reading and watch a | |
42:41 | movie . So watch a movie . Sounds similar like | |
42:44 | these are three hobbies . I like to watch a | |
42:46 | movie . For example . It sounds kind of similar | |
42:49 | . We don't have a problem in communication really . | |
42:51 | But grammatically watch a movie is different from cooking or | |
42:56 | reading . So to fix this , we say I | |
42:58 | like cooking , reading and watching movies . So just | |
43:02 | make sure that everything that you're introducing in your list | |
43:05 | matches grammatically and this won't be a problem for you | |
43:08 | . Um So yeah , if you're using all now | |
43:10 | owns , make sure use all now . So Just | |
43:12 | just be aware of that , that's something that many | |
43:15 | native speakers run into as a problem sometimes . So | |
43:18 | those are 10 mistakes that native speakers make . Have | |
43:21 | you ever noticed the native speaker making a mistake ? | |
