61 Views · 5 years ago

Homophones are words that have the same pronunciation but completely different meanings. For example, “be” and “bee” sound exactly the same, but the first is a verb, and the second is the name of an insect. Because the pronunciation is identical, we rely on context and spelling to understand the word. The best way to remember homophones is to practice them. You’ve come to the right place! In this lesson, I will teach you 17 pairs of homophones. Each pair will have a verb, like “hear”, “be”, “wait”, “chews”, “bare”, “hire”. And for each verb, there will be a homophone that means something completely different. Together, we will try to make funny word games, which we call “puns” or “dad jokes”. Watch the video and then share your best puns and dad jokes in the comments!

Fun English: 16 HOMOPHONES & Past Simple Verbs

Languages
3 Views · 5 years ago

Homophones are words that are spelled differently but sound exactly the same. For example, “the red book” and “the read book” sound the same, but they mean completely different things. To understand the meaning of the word, you need to rely on context or spelling. There are hundreds of homophones in English, and in today’s lesson, I will teach you eight pairs of them, so 16 words in total. You will notice that each pair is made up of one past simple verb and one other word with a different function. I will teach you the difference between “rode” and “road”, “passed” and “past”, “wore” and “war”, “blew” and “blue”, “threw” and “through”, “ate” and “eight”, and “made” and “maid”. I will explain their meaning and give you examples. By the end of the lesson, you will know how to differentiate the past simple verbs from their homophone counterparts.

TRANSCRIPT

Hello. Homophones, homophones, homophones. I love homophones. Do you know what a "homophone" is? A "homophone" is really fun in English, and important because it teaches you pronunciation and also a bonus. The bonus is you get to say one word, and it actually has two different meanings. Wow. So, you're cutting your studying time in half. I'm saving you time. I know, it's amazing.

So, "homophones" are words that are spelt differently, but sound exactly the same. So, "homo" means same and "phone" means sound. So, these are words in English that are pronounced the exact same way, but the spelling is different. And this is what makes English confusing: The pronunciation, because unfortunately in this language, we don't say each of the letters; some letters are silent, some of them we just don't bother to say at all. They're just there to make life more difficult for you; but also, it gives me a reason to talk to you. Yeah. Subscribe. It gives me a reason... It gives you a reason to subscribe to this channel. Ah, do it. Do it now. Homophones.

Another thing that is confusing and crazy in English is remembering the verbs. So, in English we have a base verb; for example, if you want to look at a book, we say: "read". So: "Doo-doo. I'm going to read the book." And then we have the simple past. So, the simple past of the verb would be something like: "Yesterday I read the book." And just here, your brain becomes confused because: "Hey, hey, Ronnie. You wrote the same word for the sim-... The base verb and the simple past."

Well, guess what? This is why English is crazy and this is why I'm here to help you, because we have a homophone. Yay, we love homophones. What colour is this? This is "red". So, the simple past of the verb "read" is said exactly like the colour "red". So, you can say: "I read a red book yesterday." And people might think that you said the verb wrong because it's obviously "read". "I read the book yesterday." And you go: "Oh, no. See, 'read', the past tense is 'read', exactly like the colour because it's a homophone." So, homophones are fun, they're amazing because you learn pronunciation and-doo-doo-do-doo-you learn a new word. So: "read", the simple past is "read", which is a homophone for the colour red. What's your favourite colour? Mine's purple.

We have the verb "ride" and the past tense is "rode, r-o-d-e" and it sounds exactly like a "road". So, a "road" is the thing that you drive on. Don't walk on the road; you'll get hit by a car. We walk on the sidewalk, if we have one. So: "I rode the road home." I'm going to draw a picture of a road because it's very easy for me. Oh, it's got a dividing line. This is a road. Yes, I am an artist. If you'd like to buy any of my artwork, just message me. I'll sell it to you for cheap. $1000, that's it. So: "ride", past tense, simple past is the exact same pronunciation as the noun "road".

This one might also confuse you. So, we have the verb "pass". In the simple past, we put "e-d" on it. Now, this is a regular verb, okay? The other ones are irregular. But you have become very confused at this point because you look at it, and your brain thinks: "pass-ed. I pass-ed the car." But actually, if you look and if you study English pronunciation more, you will understand that when we pronounce "e-d" verbs, we actually have to change the "e-d" to a "t" because of our "s" sound. So, in the past tense, the verb "passed" sounds exactly like "past". We don't say: "pass-ed"; we say: "past".

Next one, this is a verb that a lot of people don't use. It has to do with clothes. So, we wear clothes. Most of us, we have to, it's important. Especially in Canada in the winter, it's cold. If you don't wear clothes, you will die. Maybe it's a little embarrassing if you sit on the subway or you go somewhere on the bus and you're not wearing clothes; people might look at you. […]

Learn English: 17 HOMOPHONES & Past Participles

Homophones are words that have the same pronunciation but are written differently. To understand the meaning of the word, you need to rely on context or spelling. In today’s lesson, I will teach you eight sets of homophones. You will notice that each set is made up of one past participle and one word or more with a different function. A past participle is a word used with a past verb to express something that is passive. For example, in “it was sent”, the word “sent” is a past participle, and “was” is the verb. I will teach you the difference between “won” and “one”, “heard” and “herd”, “taught” and “tot”, “bred” and “bread”, “sent”, “scent”, and “cent”, “been” and “bean”, “caught” and “cot”, and “grown” and “groan”. I will explain their meaning, and I’ll give examples. Don’t forget to do the quiz after watching to make sure you understood the material. https://www.engvid.com/17-homo....phones-past-particip

TRANSCRIPT

Hi, guys. I want to teach you something that I think is fucking amazing: they're homophones. Woo-hoo. Do you know what "homophones" are? If you speak any of the Latin languages, so Portuguese, or Italian, French, or Spanish - you probably can figure out by the name "homo" means same; and "phones" or "phono" means sound. So, "homo" means same, and "phono" means sound. So, "homophones" are words that have the exact same sound or the exact same pronunciation, but the spelling is different.

So, in your brain it's going to be difficult because you're going to say: "Oh my god, Ronnie, no, no, no, no, no. You've totally said this word wrong. How can you...? How can this word be the same as this word?" This is why English is so crazy, but I'm here to help you. So, the cool thing about homophones and why I love them so much is it's like you're getting a special promotion with English. So, you are learning one pronunciation, but you get two words. So, it's two words for the price of one in your brain, but you have to remember: Trust me when I tell you the sounds are exactly the same. The definitions are going to be different, but the sounds are the same. So, you get to learn one pronunciation and two meanings. Yes! Bonus time. It's like a super sale. Welcome to the super sale on enVid. enVid, enVid, enVid, enVid. engVid, okay?

The other thing that we have a huge problem with are these crazy things called "past participles". Now... Oh, don't you hate past participles? And maybe you don't know what they are. So, "past participles" are the third thing or the third part of a verb. So, irregular verbs usually have a simple past and a past participle. I've kind of made this easy because most of these words here... Most of these verbs here, the simple past and the past participle - they're the same. Oh, so cool.

So, oh, you get another bonus. You're going to learn more past participles. So, learning past participles are difficult. Why? Because there are so many of them. But if you look back on lessons on www.engvid.com, you will see I've given you easy ways to remember the past participles. And this is an even easier way to actually say them correctly because your brain and English pronunciation plays tricks on you.

So, let's start with the first one. The present tense of this verb is "win", and the past tense is "won". But, hey, do you know the homophone? "Won" is exactly the same sound as the number "one". So, we have "win", the past participle of "win" is "won", and it's pronounced like the number "one". You are number one; not eleven. Hello, marker. Do you work? So, the past participle of "win" is the exact same pronunciation as number "one". So, you can say: -"I won one." -"What? 'I won one'? Did you repeat...?" -"No. I won one. I won one chocolate bar. I won one. I won one! Yay!"

The next one is the verb "hear", and the past tense, we would like to say: "hear-d", but it's actually just "herd". A mistake that I've heard a lot of people saying is they say: "hearded". It's not "hearded"; it's actually "heard". Now, past participle: "herd", this is how we actually say the word. But do you know what a "herd" is? A "herd" is a group of animals. So, for example: A group of cows or a group or horses we call a "herd". "I heard the herd." [Laughs] Another crazy thing about homophones is they're used in a lot of advertising and a lot of jokes. Now, are the jokes funny? That's up to you. But "herd" is a group of cattle; cows or horses.

The next one is the past tense of the word "teach". So, in the present tense we say: "I teach", and in the past tense, if you go back, we say: "taught". But if you look at this, it looks like: "ta-u-g-h-t". "I tau-g-h-t you yesterday." Hey, let's make this easy. We're actually just going to say it like: "tot". The past participle of "teach" is the pronunciation: "tot; t-o-t". That's easier. Do you know what a "tot" is? A "tot" is slang or informal for a child. […]

What’s the difference between GET & TAKE?

Do we say “get mail” or “take mail”? How about “get a pill” or “take a pill”? The verbs “to get” and “to take” can be easily misused because they seem so similar. But one of them is passive, and the other is an active verb. In this English grammar lesson, I will explain the difference between “get” and “take”, and I’ll give you examples of how to use them. After watching, you will know exactly which of the two verbs to use in any situation. Bonus: If you watch until the end, I’ll teach you a slang expression that is an exception to the rule. After the lesson, take the quiz at: https://www.engvid.com/get-or-take/

TRANSCRIPT

Hi, there. My name's Ronnie. Are you confused? I'm confused a lot. But, I mean, about English, because this is what you're here for. I'm going to teach you today about two confusing verbs that maybe, after this lesson, will not be confusing. Yes!

The two verbs that are very confusing in English are "get" and "take"; or "got" in the past tense and "took". So, you might be translating from your language, and you would say: "I took a beer", and maybe your friend goes: "Oh my god, that's terrible." And you say: "Well, no, it was delicious. I quite liked the beer." So, we have to be careful when we use these two verbs. And it's a little bit difficult to explain, but hopefully I can do it. Yes. Come on. Go.

Confusing verbs: "get", "take"; "got", "took". The easiest way for you to think about this is: "got" is going to be a passive situation for you. So, think about it, that you are not doing anything; you're just sitting there, looking dull-eyed at something, and someone is going to-dunh-dunh-dunh-dunh-give you something. So, if you can understand that "get" and "got" is passive; that someone gives it or gave it to you - this is the foundation of understanding "get" and "got".

In this situation, you're going to have two people: You and the person who actually gives you something. Stay with me, here. "Take" and "took" is going to be only one person; it's going to be you, and you are doing the action. So, we can think that this verb is going to be active; there's only you and you are doing the action. So, you do or you did something to get, or to achieve, or to obtain the item.

In this one, someone gi-... La. Give. Someone gave it to you or someone gives it to you. We need the "s" here, because this is singular. So, someone gives it to you or someone gave it to you. Think about in a restaurant. You're sitting in a restaurant or a bar, and you would like a drink. You're thirsty. You want a big glass of milk. So, you wait there and the server comes over, and they give you the milk. Yes, you're so happy. So, you take the milk and you drink it.

So, what about a beer? Are you going to say: "I got a beer" or "I took a beer"? What's the difference? If you say: "I got a beer", it means that someone gave you the beer; someone delivered you the beer. But if you say: "I took a beer", you have to be careful, because this means that you are stealing. Uh-oh. So, if you take something, you have to be careful. If you take it without permission, it's stealing. But if someone says: "Here, here, here. Take this", then it's okay.

So, if you say: "I took a beer", this can have two meanings. One, it can mean that you went to the fridge; you took the beer yourself. There's nobody else to serve you or to give you a beer. The second meaning with this is that you're actually stealing the beer, so you go, and you take the beer.

So, "take" has the extra element of having permission or without permission. So, "permission" means someone said it's okay; and without permission, you are stealing it. So, without permission is illegal, and I do not recommend it; unless you want to steal some money from a bank and then give it to me. That's a good thing. I will take your money. Okay? Give me your money. I'm going to get your money. Give it to me.

Let's go through some examples. Let's see if this makes sense to you. So, I want you to think. If we have the noun: "a cold"-achoo-do you get a cold or do you take a cold? So, colds or viruses are transmitted through people, so logically, this is two people; someone actually gives you a cold. So, the correct answer here would be... Uh-oh. I got a cold because somebody gave it to me. Ya-. No, that's a bad thing.

This word: "a flyer". Do you know what the noun, "a flyer" means? Not someone who flies. "A flyer" is like a brochure or a paper advertisement. So, you can go to the mall or you can go somewhere, and people will have flyers. Now, usually there's a flyer sitting on a counter. What do you do? Do you get the flyer or do you take it? You take the flyer, because it's only you. Nobody is saying: "Here. Here; have a flyer." You are going to take a flyer.

Next one. In supermarkets, sometimes people are very nice and they give you free food. Yay. This is called "a sample". So, "a sample" means a small portion of something you get for free. […]

English Grammar: MUST & HAVE TO

Languages
5 Views · 5 years ago

Do we say "I must do my homework" or "I have to do my homework"? In English, we use "must" and "have to" to express a strong rule or law. In this grammar lesson, I will teach you about the modal verbs "must" and "have to" in both their negative and positive forms. In the positive form, their function is the same, but their subject-verb agreement is different. In the negative form, we use "don't have to" to talk about options or advice. You must watch the video to get the full explanation with examples. You don't have to do the quiz, but I strongly recommend you do: https://www.engvid.com/english....-grammar-must-have-t

Next, watch this video about a very common mistake in English, forgetting to use the 's': https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vf861z0MuMc&index=45&list=PLpLRk365gbPaY0U_9zYYRY5JmStMZ9NSI

TRANSCRIPT

You must watch this lesson. You just have to watch this lesson. It's really important, because it'll help you, and it's confusing in English. Actually, you don't have to watch this lesson, if you don't want to; it's your choice, but you've already clicked on it, so let's continue. I'm going to explain to you two modal verbs that are really confusing in English because the positive and the negative have different meanings.

Let's start with the first one and the easiest one. You guys have learned this, I'm sure before, if you studied grammar; or if you haven't studied grammar, you guys maybe have even heard about this. It's confusing. So, what I'm going to teach you today is the difference between the modals: "must" and "have to".

In the positive, "must" and "have to" have the exact same meaning or the exact same function. When we use this grammar... It's grammar. When we use this grammar, "must" you can think about it like a law or a rule. Okay? Something that is very, very, very important; basically, if you don't do it, there will be bad things that will happen. So: "must" and "have to" we both use for very strong rules or laws.

So, I want you to think about in your daily life. Or I'll give you an example of travelling. So you're going to get on an airplane, so you go to the airport. What are some things you must have to get on the airplane? One, you must have-or you have to have-an airplane ticket. If you don't have an airplane ticket, you're not going to get on that airplane, so you buy one. The second thing that you must have-or you have to have-is a passport or some kind of legal ID; depending on where you are travelling to. If you're flying internationally to a different country, you definitely have to have-or must have-a passport. It's important to have money. You must have some money, or you have to have some money. How are you going to live? How are you...? You got money. Okay.

So: "must" and "have to" in the positive form are exactly the same. I don't care what anyone else has told you before; I don't care what your grammar books tell you; I don't care what your mom tells you - "must" and "have to" in the positive are completely equal. We don't make a difference. You have to do this or you must do this - the ending is the same. It's a rule or a law; if you don't do it, there's going to be some problems or you just won't be accepted. Can you think of an example in your life that you have rule or a law that you must or have to do? Good. Okay.

Let's look at also the grammar of "have to". So, "must" is very easy. It's going to be subject plus "must" plus your base verb. This is called a modal verb, which is "must". So, for example: Subject plus "must" plus your base verb. "I must have a ticket to get on that airplane." If I don't have a ticket, I can't get on the airplane. But when we use "have to", we have to be very, very careful or we must be careful with our subject and our verb agreement. So, if you have: "He", "She" or "It", we have to say: "has to"; but if you use: "I", "We", "They", or "You", we have to say or we must say: "have to". So: "It has to be great.", "We have to go now; it's very important." So, be careful with our grammar. The "must" one is easier. So, if you're deciding on which one you like better - choose "must" because you don't have to worry about the subject and the verb agreement. But again, they are not different. "Must" and "have to" are exactly the same. The structure is different, but the function or the way we use it is exactly the same. You choose which one you like the most.

The negative of "must not" is basically telling us a rule in the negative. For example, you can say: "On the airplane, you must not smoke." This is a very, very strict law or rule on any airplane in any country of the world that smoking is prohibited; you can't do it. If you do it, you will get arrested which means you'll go to jail. I don't know if you go to jail, but definitely the police will come and you have to pay a lot of money, so don't do it. […]

WISH & HOPE: What's the difference?

Languages
7 Views · 5 years ago

In your language, the verbs "hope" and "wish" might be very similar or the same. However, in English, they are used in different ways. To clear up the confusion between the two verbs, watch this lesson on "hope" and "wish". I will teach you their definitions and how to use them with proper grammar. I'll show you how to combine these two verbs with the simple past and past present to talk about your goals and dreams. So don't just wish you understood; watch the video to make it happen, then take the quiz at https://www.engvid.com/english....-vocabulary-wish-hop to test yourself!

TRANSCRIPT

I have a dream. I had a dream. I have a wish. I have a hope. I'm going to teach you the difference between two words in English that are confusing, probably be... Because in your language, the words are very similar; if not, used the same. Portuguese, for example. These words are: "wish" versus "hope". Dunh-dunh-dunh-dunh. The challenge is to figure out how they're different.

So, "wish" and "hope" are both verbs, and they're actually both regular verbs, so: "I wished" and "I hoped". And they both mean that you want or you desire something. So, you think: "Wow, okay. Well, in my language, oh, we use them the same. Oh, maybe they're a little bit different. I don't know. How are they different?" Let me tell you. In English, if you can remember this: "wish" is for stars. So we have a common expression that: "When you wish upon a star". A star, I don't mean a Hollywood actor or actress; I mean the beautiful twinkly things in the sky are called stars. So, we usually wish upon a star. We think: "Wow. I wish I had a million, trillion thousand dollars." Yeah. And the star goes: "I don't care. I'm a star. I can't get you anything." But the reason why this is a wish is because it's unreal. You want 10 billion dollars. Well, guess what? It's near impossible that you're going to get that, unless you work hard or rob a bank. If you'd like to rob a bank, please give me some money; just as a little, like, donation - that would be fine.

"Hope" is for dreamers. So, do you have a dream? Maybe you would like to learn English. You're on the right track. Maybe your dream is to travel; that's my dream. Maybe your dream is to achieve your goal. So, if you can remember this: A "wish" is for a star, which means it's unreal; it's not going to happen. And "hope" is for dreamers - this is real; with some effort, you can achieve your goal. So, "wish" is for stars; "hope" is for dreamers.

And we have another very important function of "wish". It's grammar, but that's okay; you're good. We can use "wish" for unreal things that you want, but depending on the verb, it'll tell us what time period you are talking about. So, if you wish you had something or you want something right now... Maybe you are... Were... Maybe you're playing basketball and you're watching this lesson. Let's say you're playing basketball, and you're like: "Wow. I wish I were taller." Unfortunately, you cannot be taller just like this. I think there are pretty invasive surgeries you could have to elongate your legs, but it's just not going to happen; I'm sorry. Or maybe you go: "Wow! I wish I could speak English fluently." Yeah, me too. But the only way you could do that is you practice, so that's not unachievable, but it's near impossible; even for me.

"I wish I had"... So this is famous, like: "I wish I had 10 million dollars." Yeah, you don't; sorry. "I wish I knew". I wish I knew famous people, then I could go to their house, we could hang out, have some food, go in their swimming pool. It'd be fun. But guess what? I'm sorry, you don't. So these things are something that you want now. We're going to use simple past as a verb, so the structure: Subject "wish", subject, simple past verb and a noun or an adjective, like "taller". Okay? It's something that you want to have now, but you probably won't get it. Ha-ha. Dreams are shattered.

If it's something that you thought about in the past, in English we would call it a mistake or a regret. So: "mistake" or "regret" means something that you did or didn't do in the past, and now you think: "Uh-oh. I..." or "she"; you can use different subjects. "She wishes... She wishes she hadn't eaten all of the chocolate", because now her tummy hurts. So she wishes that in the past she hadn't have done something. Okay? With this grammar, you're going to use the past perfect. Past perfect is either: "had" or "hadn't" plus pp. "Pp" in English grammar means the past participle. And the past participle is difficult to learn, but you can do it. So, I can say: "Oh. He wishes he had bought a different car." But he didn't. He bought this car, but he's like: "Oh, damn! I should have bought the other car." Sorry, you've made a mistake or you've made a regret. So, when we use the past perfect with "wish", which is "had" or "hadn't" plus the past participle, it's a mistake in the past. […]

Learn English Grammar: Superlative Adjectives

Languages
5 Views · 5 years ago

Superlatives are the ultimate adjectives. They are used to express the supreme form of an adjective. For example, "the best" and "the most beautiful" are both superlative adjectives. Whether we use "the most" or the ending "-est" depends on the adjective itself. In this English grammar lesson, I will teach you the rules that apply to superlatives. There are, however, some exceptions to the rules that you need to know. Don't make the mistake of saying "the bestest" or "the most beautifulest". Watch this video and do the quiz to understand all the rules and their exceptions. https://www.engvid.com/english....-grammar-superlative

TRANSCRIPT

Doo-doo-doo-doo. Today I'm going to teach you about something that's super: Superlatives. Are you a bit confused about superlatives? Don't worry, I'm here to teach you. Superlatives. Now, understand I'm teaching you with adjectives, not adverbs, because that's a whole other lesson.

So, superlatives as adjectives - they're the best. We don't say: "They're the goodest" for a reason. What we have to understand about superlatives are: There can be only one superlative. If you're looking at another grammar called comparative, there have to be two things to compare. For example, red and blue; purple and yellow. But with superlatives there's only one thing. And what we're telling you is that this one is number one. This one is the best. There's no other competition for this adjective.

So, the way that we make superlatives, you're going to have two choices. You can either put: "the" plus your adjective plus "-est", or you can put: "the" plus "most" plus your adjective. So, how do you know which adjective will get "est" and which one will get "the most"? I'll tell you. We get to play a game. We get to do something very fun called counting syllables. First of all, we have to understand what a syllable is. A syllable is a vowel sound, or how long the word is. So, when we count syllables we have to be very careful, and we're only going to count the vowel sounds of the words; not the vowels because this gets confusing. Once we have counted the vowel sounds, we use "est" or "the most".

So let's do some simple examples and I'll tell you our game. The first one: How many syllables or how many verb sounds...? Or vowel sounds do we have in the word "beautiful"? If we simply count the vowels, we've got one, two, three, four... Oo, we've got five vowels, but in English, "beautiful" is not five syllables, it's only three because if you have two or three vowels together, they're only going to make one vowel sound. So, in English, the word "beautiful" is only three syllables. "Beau-ti-ful". Okay? If we look at this word: "gentle", we don't say: "gentl-e", but because it's "le" together, this is going to make another syllable sound, so we say: "gentle". This one is two syllables, this one is three.

What about this one? First of all, count the vowels. How many vowels are there? One, two. Because the vowels are separated with consonants, the vowels are not together, we can actually count these as two: "na-rrow". Two syllables. We have this word: "busy". Bzz, busy bee. "Busy", again, one syllable... Sorry, one vowel sound, one vowel sound is two. "Hungry", one and one, this is two. This one's easy, there's only one vowel, there's only one vowel sound, so it's going to be one syllable. "Happy", two vowels, two syllables. You understand?

Try and do these ones. Now, be careful, in English if we have an "e" at the end of the word, we don't say it. So we don't say: "blu-e", we just say: "blue". So in this, how many syllables are there? How many vowel sounds? Two? One. So we just say: "blue", the "e" is silent. Okay? My favourite colour is two syllables: "pur-ple". Again, I told you if it ends in "le" we're going to actually put another syllable here. This is an exception to our vowel-counting rule. So we say: "purple". "Good", how many syllables? "Good" has two vowels together, but it only makes one sound.

"Bad" has one. What about this one? "Lar..." We don't say in English: "larg-e", we say: "large". So, again, because the "e" is silent this only has one syllable. And a lot of people get confused, but there's only one. And this one, easy: "big".

So, if you look at our words, the very first thing that we're going to do is we're going to count the syllables, we're going to count the vowel sounds. Three, two, one. Now, this is how we have to figure out: When do we use "est" and when do we use "the most"? This part is easy. If your word is small... So if your word has one syllable, it's always going to be "est". So, we say: "The bluest". "What? That's very strange. Ronnie, how can something be bluest?" Well, colour is an adjective, so you can say: "Wow, that's the bluest sky I've ever seen in my life. It's beautiful." We can use colours with this because colours are adjectives. […]

English Grammar: AUXILIARY VERBS – be, do, have

Languages

Do we say, "I am eat" or "I am eating"? What about "He didn't go" or "He didn't went"? These questions and more will be answered when you watch this English grammar lesson on auxiliary verbs. I will teach you how to use the three auxiliary verbs in English – "be", "do", and "have". We will go over each one in detail and with examples. First, you will learn how to use "be" in the passive and progressive forms in the present, past, and future. Then, we will look at "do" in the present and past simple. Last, I will teach you how to use "have" in the future, present, and past perfect. Plus, we will discuss the positive and negative use of "do" as an auxiliary verb". Whew! There's a lot of material here, so make sure you do the quiz at https://www.engvid.com/auxiliary-verbs-be-do-have/ to test your understanding.

TRANSCRIPT

My name's Ronnie and I'm going to teach you some grammar. It's kind of a... difficult grammar, but once you learn this overview of-dunh, dunh, dunh, dunh-"Auxiliary Verbs", English grammar is going to become easier for you, I hope. So, if you're just beginning to learn English grammar, oh, stay in there, you can do it. Yuri, this goes out to you in Salvador, Brazil. Let's keep going, man. We have three auxiliary verbs that we use in English: "be", "do", and "have". But the thing about the auxiliary verbs is that each auxiliary verb will tell us what kind of grammar we're going to use with it. So, let's look at the first one: "be".

So, "be" in its form in the present tense is "am", "is", "are"; negative: "am not", "isn't", and "aren't". These are present. The past tense would be present... Or, no. The past tense in the positive is "was" and "were"; negative: "wasn't" and "weren't".

So, how do we actually use this auxiliary verb? And the answer is: We use it in two forms of English grammar. The first one is progressive. So, if you have a progressive sentence, we have present progressive, past progressive, and future progressive. Every time we have a sentence in English with progressive, we know we're going to use the verb "to be". So, if our sentence is present progressive, we're going to use the present tense of the verb "to be", "is am are" with a verb with "ing". So, in English grammar, anything that's progressive or continuous is another word for the same grammar, it's always going to be an "ing" on the verb. The thing that changes and tells us the grammar is the verb "to be". Present is: "is", "am", "are", plus verb "ing", but the past, we're going to use the past tense: "was" and "were" plus verb "ing". So, progressive will always have a verb "ing". The thing that changes the tense of it is the verb "to be". We have future progressive or future continuous. In this one we're simply going to use the verb "will", so in this one we have "will be" plus verb "ing". For example: "I will be eating pizza." This tells us what's going to happen in the future. "I was eating pizza" was the past, and "I am eating pizza", something's happening now, that's present progressive. So, the progressive will always have the verb "to be", either past, present, or future, and it will always have an "ing" on the verb. Okay, cool.

Let's get more complicated, okay? We have another structure in English grammar called passive. Now, passive voice basically you're taking the action from the person or the focus on the person, and we're putting it towards the activity. So, in a normal English sentence we would say: "I eat lunch", but in a passive sentence, we're taking away the subject and we're focusing on the action. So, with the passive voice we have future passive, present passive, and past passive. It goes along the same idea, is that the verb "to be" is going to tell us: Is it present? Or if it's past. When we use a passive sentence, we can only ever use the past participle of the verb, or the third step of the verb. So, passive will always be the verb "to be" plus the past participle. If it's present, it's: "is", "am", "are", plus PP, past participle. If it's past, it's "was" and "were" plus past participle. It's hard to say the past participle, so I'm going to say PP. I have to go PP. So, as an example, we say: "Lunch is eaten", present tense. "Lunch was eaten". I'm going to step away and let you check that out. Let your brain absorb it. Make some sentences using this and the verb "to be". If we used the future passive, I could say: "Lunch will be eaten", so again, when we're using the future, we use "will be", but we're going to use the past participle. Have you made some sentences? Do it now. Come on. Make some sentences. Go. Okay.

So we've done the verb "to be". And hopefully it's beginning to make sense, because English grammar rarely makes sense. I'm going to make it make it make sense for you. So, the next one is the auxiliary verb "do". Now, this one's interesting because we only use it in the negative form in the simple present, or we use it in the negative simple past. […]

Don't make this common mistake – Use the S!

Languages
4 Views · 5 years ago

There are some really simple things that you can do to sound more like a native English speaker. One mistake English learners often make is not pronouncing the "s" at the end of a word. This can lead to confusion. For example, if you say, "I like dog", it will be interpreted as meaning that you like to eat dog meat, not that you love these cute animals as pets! In this lesson, you will learn when you should pronounce the "s" at the end of some words in order to be clear in your meaning and avoid embarrassing confusion.

TRANSCRIPT

Hi, guys. I'd like to share with you one of my pet peeves. "Pet peeves" means something that other people do that make you angry. So, I am an ESL teacher, and I love teaching, but something really pisses me off, something really makes me angry, and it is when people do not say the "s" at the end of words. Now, I understand that this is at first a pronunciation problem, so you guys are going to go to Emma's video that she made: "Words Ending in 's'". So, this will teach you all about the pronunciation of the word "s" at the end of words. So, [a]www.engvid.com[/a] will give you... Type in "s pronunciation", and you've got that video right there. After you watch that video, there will be no excuse. So, please, try. Help me out.

And I'm going to tell you why it's so important. First example: Use the "s" is if you said to someone, for example: "I like cat" or "I like dog", this means you want to say that you like dogs, cats, you think they're cute, you maybe have a couple pets. But guess what? If you say: "I like cat and I like dog", this means you like to eat them. So you don't want someone to think that you like to eat dogs or cats, now, do you? So, it's crucial (very important) that you always try to remember to put the "s". So, instead of saying: "I like cat and I like dog", we're going to say: "I like cats and I like dogs."

If it's an animal that you like, you're going to put the "s", with the exception of chicken... You can like chickens. But if you like to eat it, you're not going to put the "s". So, for example: "My favourite food is chicken." So, I would say: "I like chicken." But if I like the animal: "Bawk, bawk, bawk", maybe a bit too much, I would say: "I like chickens." So, be careful. You don't want to say to someone: "I like sheep", because that just... That's a different subject.

So, the first rule that you have to remember with this is we always use an "s" with countable nouns. So, a "countable noun" means something that you can count in groups. For example: dogs, cats; one dog, two dogs, three dogs. You can count them. We have countable and uncountable nouns in English. If you're not too sure, you can reference it on [a]www.engvid.com[/a] or you can look in a grammar book or a dictionary, and you will know if it's countable or uncountable. So, rule number one is that every countable noun will have to have an "s" if it's plural.

If you look at my example... Now, I hear this all the time. I will ask someone: -"Wow. Cool shoes. How much were they?" -"40 dollar." And, let me see, 40 dollar, 40 dollar, what? Because "dollars" are countable, you have to put the "s". So, it's not: "40 dollar", it's "40 dollars". So: "I have 5 dollars." Now, if you only have one of something that's countable, that's okay, you don't need the "s". So, for example: "I have one dog." I don't put the "s". If you have one of something that's countable, you don't need the "s", but as soon as you have two, you need to put the "s".

The other words that we're going to look at are more of a grammar-based thing, but that's cool. "There were several", maybe this is a new word for you. "Several" means the same as "a lot" or "many". It means more than one. So, for example, if you say: "There was... There were several dog", this doesn't make sense; because this means more than one, I have to write the "s". I say: "There were several dogs."

"I have a lot of cat". So, if you told me that you have a lot of cat, I think that you're going to invite me to eat the cat that you have, because you have a large portion of cat for me to eat. I have never eaten cat. I probably would, but I don't think you would like me to eat your cat, so you have to say: "I have a lot of cats." Meow. Crazy cat ladies, hello.

Next one, I hear people say: "Oh, my city has many tree." Huh, okay. Well, "many", which means the same as "a lot" or "several", again, you need the "s". So, you have to say... Not "tress". "My city has many trees."

One more that's even more confusing for you guys is "too many". Now, "many", and "a lot", and "several" are always positive things. Okay? But "too many" is always a bad thing or a negative thing.

English Grammar: Fix your double negatives!

Using double negatives in English can make you sound uneducated or unclear. I'm going to teach you how to avoid these common mistakes. Though double negatives are often used by native speakers, they are slang and they are grammatically incorrect. As an English learner it is important to understand slang, but you shouldn't try to use incorrect grammar, especially in cases like this where it can make people think you mean the opposite of what you want to say! I'll show you examples of some of the most common double negatives that English learners and native speakers use. You'll learn how to correct these mistakes so that your English is clear and correct.

TRANSCRIPT

Hello. Welcome to this lesson. I'm going to teach you something called "double negatives". Now, maybe you don't use double negatives, which is cool and good and amazing, and you don't want to use double negatives. So, I'm going to tell you first of all what double negatives are. Double negatives mean you have one sentence with two words that are both negative words. For example: "I don't have nothing." So, "don't" and "nothing" are both negative words. So, this might have something to do with math, which I'm not good at. If you don't have nothing, actually you have something. I'm not too sure how that works out, but you don't want to use double negatives because two negatives make a positive.

So, we hear double negatives all the time. "I can't get no satisfaction..." Can't get no...? Can't... "Can't get no" is a double negative. So, whoever sang this song, Mick Jagger, terrible grammar. What are you...? What are you teaching us, here? Good old lips.

So, one thing I'm going to do is you have to be very, very, very careful about certain words in English, like this word: "ain't". I hate this word. As soon as someone says to me: "I ain't got nothing." I'm not talking to that person probably again. If you use the word "ain't", it just makes you seem very uneducated. People who say these words, they sound stupid. Maybe your favourite rapper uses it a lot. Are they stupid? Hmm. So, it's cool if they do it, but be careful you don't because you don't want to sound stupid. So, I'm going to give you the examples. Now, the ones in black are bad, don't use them. The red pen is the right pen.

So, if we look at the first example: "He ain't no teacher." He ain't no teacher, G, yo. We can't say: "ain't". "Ain't" is not even a word in English. If you look in the dictionary, it's not there. It's really, really, really, really slang, and it's bad. So, "ain't", I want you to take this word out of your head, and I want you to say: "He isn't". You've learned this before, you used the verb "to be", so you're going to say: "He isn't the teacher." He ain't no teacher, yo. Yeah, you ain't no teacher either. I'm the teacher, and you have to say: "He isn't a teacher."

Next one: "She ain't got no class." [Laughs] Which is true. Now, "class" means refinement or the way you were brought up. So, if you ain't got no class, your momma didn't raise you right. This means that you were basically were not educated well. We have to say: "She has no class." Okay? So, the difference is that she... We can't use "ain't", we have to use "has no". When we use "teacher", we have to use an adjective. We have to use "to be". Sorry. When we say "teacher", we have to use the verb "to be", but when we say "got", we have to use "has", because this is a noun. Okay? If it's a job, we use "to be", and if it's a noun, we use "has". If it was "I", we would say "have". So you can check out a lesson that I've done before between "had", "have", and "has".

"I ain't been nowhere." I ain't been nowhere. Hmm. Well, no. You have to say: "I haven't been anywhere." So, it's kind of confusing in English when we use "any". So, I'm going to teach you in this part of the lesson when to use "any". It's easy once you get it. So, you don't want to say: "I ain't been nowhere." You... You have to say: "I haven't been anywhere."

So, "any"... Once you get this, it's going to be easy for you. We use "any" only if your sentence is negative or if you are asking a question. For example: "Do you have any pizza?" Now, I'm not going to say: "I ain't got no pizza." I'm going to say: "I don't have any pizza." Okay? You can also say: "I don't have anything." You can't say: "I don't have nothing." So, we have to change "nothing" to "anything", because "any", we have to use with our negative sentence.

"I don't know no one or nobody." They're the same. You have to say: "I don't know anyone." Because we have "don't", we can... We have to use "anyone". You can say: "I do know someone", but that's a positive and we're good.

Hi. I'm Ronnie. Do you have a problem? I do. [Laughs] I got loads of problems, but maybe a problem that you have, I can help you with. So, one of the most difficult things about learning English is how to conjugate the verbs. In English, we have millions... Not millions. We have a lot of verbs-42-and we need to know, you need to know the present tense, the simple past tense, and something that's called the past participle.

So, the simple present tense we use for things that we do every day. For example: I eat breakfast, I go to the bathroom; I am a human. The simple past we use for things that we talk about in the past: I ate breakfast, I went to the bathroom. Yes. I was a human. The most difficult one, and the one that frustrates everyone so much is the past participle. Now, instead of me saying past participle all the time, I'm going to tell you p.p. Woo. It's kind of like having to go to the bathroom; p.p.

So, what I'm going to do is I'm going to teach you the past simple and the past participles. But the problem is there are so many of them, and they have very different structures or styles. If your life was easy, we would just have one or two different ways to conjugate the verbs, but no. Learning English is going to be difficult for you, but not when I'm here. I can help you out with this. So, if you are frustrated or you just don't know how you are going to learn the past participle of irregular verbs: Sit back, relax, and do some mind mapping. If your verb is a regular verb, so it ends in "ed", you have no worries because it's going to be simple past, it's going to be "ed", and the past participle is going to be "ed". So we're not doing that. These are all going to be irregular verbs.

So, what I've done is I've tried very diligently to put these into groups for you to help you remember them when it comes time for a test. So if you're learning grammar, if you're learning passive voice, or if you have to do present perfect or past perfect, you have to know the past participles of the verbs.

So, what I've done is I've tried to split the verbs, the irregular verbs into three different groupings, because there are so many of them. So, this video is the most difficult-bear with-and also, the last one in our group. So, if you go to the resources section on www.engvid.com, we have all of these groups in a list for you to make your learning easier. What we're going to go over today is group three. You probably have seen the videos I've done on group one and two. This is the follow-up for group three; brace yourself, the most difficult. So, let's dive right in.

The first group has one verb change. Sorry, one vowel change. So, if you guys look at all of these words, we've got an "i" running through them. So, we have: "begin", "drink", "sing", and "swim". When we change this group to the past tense, the only thing that we have to change here is we're changing the vowel "i" to an "a". So, "begin" becomes "began". And then when we make the p.p.-I have to go pee-pee, never ends-we're going to make it a "u". So, it's going to be: "begin", "began", and "begun". All of this... All of these verbs in this group follow the exact same pattern. The present tense has an "i", the past tense has an "a", and the past participle has a "u". You.

So, let's look at the next example: "drink", "drank", "drunk". "i", "a", "u". "Drink, drank, drunk", it's also a song. The next one we have is-la, la, la, la-"sing". So, if you follow my pattern, what vowel would I put here? "a". Oh, good answer, it is an "a". So we're going to say: "sing", "sang", "sung". Now, "sang", "sung" is very similar to Samsung, so you can remember the electronics' company Samsung. Please give money, Samsung, for mentioning you. In this... It'll help you remember it. "Sing", "sang", "sung", "sing", "Samsung". Good. But be careful. It's not "Samsung", it's "sang", "sung". Don't mess that up. Remember the rule: "i", "a", "u".

Hi. My name's Ronnie. I'm going to try and help you do something fantastic for your English grammar, speaking, and general wellbeing. This is a very, very time-consuming and difficult task that you will have to do when you are learning English. They're verbs.

We have many verbs in English. We have what are called regular verbs. A regular verb will end in "ed". For example: "use", "used". So, regular verb. We like to call them "ed" verbs just to be fancy. So, regular verbs are easy because they all both end in "ed" if you have different forms.

Now, what I'm going to go over today is the difference in forms between simple past and the past participle. So, we have the simple present tense, which is something like: "I eat pizza." When we use simple present, it's something we do every day. Then we have what's called the simple past, or you can say past simple. It doesn't matter; it's the same. So, we have the present tense, we have the past, and we have what's called the past participle. Have you heard of this before? The past participle, it's so difficult for me to say, so I'm going to call it p.p. from now on. So, the past participle, you're going to have to use if you learn present perfect. Now, if you don't know what these are yet, that's okay. If you've heard of these before and you know what they are, that's fantastic. Past perfect and all the forms of passive voice that we have in English.

If these are new kind of ideas to you, please don't worry, but it's not past, present "prefect" it's present perfect. We must be perfect. If these are new things for you... I'll get this spelling right, I promise. There we go, present perfect. If these are new concepts to you, don't worry about it. Okay? Just focus on learning these groups, and we have a very, very beautiful list of verbs to help you in the resources section on www.engvid.com. Go there now. You can put it... It's in PDF file, so you can print it out and you can have the list in front of you to memorize, to remember, to help you.

What I want you do is I want to introduce you to-doo, doo, doo, doo-group one and two of irregular verbs. Once you do this, there's also a video on group number three, which is the most difficult. So we're starting with the easiest ones, yay. And again, this is groups one and two. You can find them, a list of these on the resources section.

So, past participle, I will now call p.p. Yay. We have the present tense, simple past or past, and then the past participle. The first group is the most delicious. It's the best because we don't have to change anything. Woo-hoo. So, if in the present tense the verb is "cut", the past tense is "cut", and so is the past participle or the p.p. So, we have: "cut", "cut", "cut". For example, if we use present tense: "I cut the pizza." If we use past tense, I can say: "Yesterday, I cut the grass." And if I wanted to use the past participle, let's say I want to use present perfect, I can say: "The grass has been cut." So, we don't need to change the verb. These are some examples of verbs that we don't have to change.

So, these are the easiest, and probably your favourite. We have: "cost", "hit", "hurt", ow. So if you... Something hits you, you are hurt. "Let", "put", "quit". If the simple past is "shut", what do you think the past participle would be? It's the same, so this would also be "shut". So, I could say: "I shut the door.", "The door was shut.", or: "The door has been shut." And in the last one we have the word "bet". Again, we don't have to change it, so it's: "bet", "bet", "bet". I bet you like this lesson. Yeah? Okay? So these ones are the easiest and the most fun because they don't have to change. Whew.

We're going to go into group two. Group two is okay, because we only have to change one time now. So, if we have the present tense, section A, all we're doing to make it past or use the past participle, is we're changing it, and all of these ones are going to have a "d" ending. So, present tense we have "sell", "sold", and "sold". I hear a lot of people doing this: "Sell, sold, sold", so they're saying: "sell", "sold", "sold". If you repeat it in your head, it will help you remember it. We have "tell", "told", "told"; "feed"...

TRANSCRIPT

Hi. My name's Ronnie. I'm going to teach you a little secret. It's not really a secret, but it's something that's kind of interesting and really helpful when you're studying grammar, and more importantly, speaking English. It's more magic than a secret. It's a crazy little magic that I'd like to teach you. I'm going to do some magic tricks.

The magic trick is how to make a noun and/or a verb into an adjective. So, how we make adjectives, or how adjectives are born. Ah, the birth of an adjective. So, I'm going to go through some examples sentences that have a noun. We're going to change the noun-dunh, dunh, dunh, dunh-and going to use the sentence as a verb, and then magically, we're going to change this into an adjective. Are you ready? Are you excited? Not real-... Not real...? Not really? Come on, it's magic. I'm telling you, it'll be... Okay, yeah, let's go.

So, if you look at my first sentence, okay? "There is a tear in my paper." So, "shwi", my paper. [Fake cries] "There's a tear in my paper." We're going to know that this word is a noun with some very simple tricks. Because we have the word "a", a's an article, so: "There is a tear in my paper." We know that this is a noun.

The next one: "There is a stain on my pants." What were you doing? And the se-...

Or the next one: "There are holes in my jeans." Now, we have to change this, because "holes" are plural, we have to use "are". We can't say: "There is a holes." because "a" is only for singular. But when we have plural, for example, "holes" or "pieces", we have to use "are" because "are" is plural. Let's just write that down here.

So: "There are holes in my jeans." And, uh oh: "There are pieces"-again, this is plural-"missing from my teeth". True story. I have pieces missing from my teeth. It's a long story. I'm not going to get into it when we're doing the magic.

So, what we're going to do is we're going to take our sentence, we're going to take our noun-do, do, do, do-and we're going to change it into a verb. The way that we do this is we're going to change the noun into actually the past tense of the verb. For example: "There is a tear in my paper." The verb is "tear" or "tore". So: "I tore my paper."

Next one: "There is a stain on my pants." What we're going to do is we're going to take the word "stain" and make it past tense. We're going to say: "I stained my pants." Just curious as to how you stained your pants, but that's fine.

"There are holes in my jeans." Now, we can't say: "I holeded my jeans", because "holes" we cannot change into a verb. We're going to use the verb "ripped", so you can say: "I ripped my jeans." Rip.

And: "There are pieces missing from my teeth." We can't say: "There are pieceded", but we can say: "I chipped my teeth." So, "chipped" means there's a piece missing.

So what we've done, very simply, is we've taken our noun, and we've used it as a verb. This is where the magic happens. This is where the adjective happens. To make a verb into an adjective, we're going to use what's called the past participle, or as I like to say, the PP of the verb. So, we have the infinitive or the base form, we have the past form, and then the third form or the past participle (the PP) of the verb. So all we're going to do is we're going to change the verb "tore" to "torn". So we're going to say: "My paper is torn." We know that this is an adjective because we used the verb "to be".

Next one: "I stained my pants." The adjective of "stained", because it's an "ed" verb is going to stay the same. We're going to say: "My pants are stained."

Next one, uh oh: "I ripped my jeans." We're going to say: "My jeans are ripped."

And last one, uh oh: "I chipped my teeth." You're going to say instead: "My teeth are chipped."

The magic happens when we take the verb, and we change it into the past participle. This is how we make a lot of adjectives in English. You take a verb, you change it to the past participle. It's difficult to remember all of the past participles, but there are ones that we normally use more than others, and especially when describing things.

Another example would be: "I broke my arm." Oh no! So "broke" is the past tense of "break". "I broke my arm." To make it an adjective, do you know the past participle of "break"? Break, bro... Broken! Broken. So, you're going to say: "My arm is broken." And all we've done, here, is we've changed the verb into-dunh, dunh, dunh-dunh-an adjective.

And that's the end of the magic show. Enjoy your grammar.

Do you hate grammar? I do! That's why I love teaching easy tricks to make learning English grammar easy. Today, I'm going to teach you an easy trick to make the continuous tense easy! To start with, this tense is sometimes called 'continuous' and sometimes called 'progressive'. Now that you know that, check out this lesson so you can improve your English grammar. Past, present, and future -- we'll cover them all. I promise this won't be a regular boring grammar lesson, because learning English with Ronnie is always FUN and EXCITING! Right? Right! http://www.engvid.com/learn-co....ntinuous-tenses-in-e

TRANSCRIPT

Quack, quack. Hi, my name's Ronnie, and I'm going to go over some grammar with you. Do you hate grammar as much as I do? Oh, it's so confusing. I really, really, really love teaching, but I really hate grammar. But I want to make it easy for you, so I found a new trick. Yes! Check this out. Tricks by Ronnie. Ronnie's turning tricks. [Laughs] We're going to do a little review to help you always get this continuous or progressive tense malarkey down pat. There is one method or one trick that's really cool. Ready?

Meow. The answer is verb+ing. So, I want you to remember one thing from this lesson. In English, as soon as you have something that's continuous or progressive, which is exactly the same... Sometimes your textbook will say "continuous", some textbooks or some people will say "progressive". It's exactly the same. But what you have to know and the cool trick is that as soon as you have continuous or progressive, all this means is somewhere in the magic of the sentence there's going to be verb+ing. Cool. So, present continuous, past continuous, future continuous, somewhere in these sentences, you're going to have a verb+ing. The more you study grammar, you get into past perfect continuous. Oh. Present perfect continuous. Don't worry about those right now, but just remember that whatever you have in progressive or continuous is going to have verbing somewhere in the sentence.

So let's just go through the easy parts. We're going to start, as we should, with the present tense. So present continuous or present progressive is the subject, plus, in this sentence, because it's present tense, we're going to have the present tense of the verb "to be". So: "is", "am", "are" makes this present, "is", "am", "are". Negative: "isn't", "am not", or "aren't". Plus your continuous verbing. So, present continuous is subject plus "is", "am", "are", and your magic verbing. Cool. As an example... [Makes noises] I am watching you. Or you are watching me, aren't you? Yeah, you're watching me, but I'm watching you. "I am watching" you. "She is learning.", "They are listening." So, this is our example of "am", "is", "are", plus verbing. Negative example: "He isn't sleeping." Are you sleeping? Wake up. Come on. He isn't sleeping. You're not sleeping. Good. When we use this grammar, we have subject plus the verb "to be", plus our magic verbing. We use present continuous for actions that are only happening right now at the moment. You cannot use this at any other point. You cannot say: "Yesterday, I am eating." Oh, Ronnie confused. Yesterday, yesterday, yesterday, yesterday. Ah, haha: "was eating" is good because this is past continuous.

So this is where, and probably the first and only time in your life, grammar's going to make sense. If present continuous or present progressive is the verb "to be" plus verbing, the only thing that we're going to change to make it past is we're going to change the verb "to be" into the past tense, which is "was" or "were". So to change it from present continuous to past continuous, you're just changing "to be" verb. And then, of course, you're going to add the verbing, because this is our magic. For example: "He was walking..." He was walking down the street. Usually, when we use past continuous or past progressive, we use it for telling a story. So, if you want to tell your friend about something really crazy that happened yesterday: "We were talking, and all of a sudden, a giant panda bear came out and gave us a kiss." Yeah, good story, buddy. "I wasn't talking to him..." This is an example of the negative. So, you can use "was", "wasn't", "were", or "weren't". Remember: "He was", "We were", "I wasn't". Be careful with your subject and your verb agreement. This is really important in all of the grammar.

Grammar: Learn to use REPORTED SPEECH in English

Languages

http://www.engvid.com/ Reported speech and indirect speech mean the same thing: They allow you to express what someone has said. This sentence, "He said he was studying English", is an example of reported speech. But how do you conjugate the verbs? Is it "he said he was studying" or "he said he studied"? Both are correct depending on the situation. Learn how to say it correctly every time with Ronnie's quick and easy chart. Your friends said they watched this lesson. So what are you waiting for? http://www.engvid.com/reported-speech-he-said-she-said/

TRANSCRIPT

Hi. My name's Ronnie. I'm going to teach you some very, very simple reported speech things. If you don't know what reported speech is, welcome to the confusing word... World of confusing reported speech and words. Reported speech, maybe when you study it in your class, the teacher or whoever, will call it indirect speech. It's the same. So, indirect speech or reported speech is exactly the same. Yay. Why or how do we use reported speech? Good question. We use this to report or to write down what somebody has said.

If somebody has told you something, this is going to be a quote. A "quote" means you copy the person's words exactly. You have to be really careful not to change their words. Reported speech or indirect speech is usually only used for writing. So, we don't really have to worry about all of these crazy rules when we speak. Whew, thank god. So, we're just going to go through the past, the present, and the future. We're going to change quoted speech into reported speech. This little chart will help you. If you want to copy down this chart, take a picture of the chart, I guarantee it will make your reported speech grammar class or grammar learning amazing. Check it out.

So, in the present tense, we have two tenses, we have present simple or simple present and we have present continuous. As an example: "She eats lunch." is present simple. This is something she does every day. So if I wanted to report or write down this, write this down, I would use reported speech. So: "She eats lunch." My present simple, what I'm going to do is I'm going to take my verb "eats", and change it to past simple. So, present simple verb we're going to change to past simple. I would say: "She said she ate lunch." In this sentence, "eat" is present simple; in the reported speech, "ate" is my past simple. So, present simple changes to past simple in reported speech.

If I have a present continuous example, this means something the person is doing now... For example: "He is painting." So he's an artist, he's got a paint brush and some paint, and he's painting. We have to change this to past continuous. So, if we have "is painting", all we have to do to make this past continuous is change it to "was painting". Present continuous to past continuous, the only thing that changes is our "to be" verb changes from present to past. "He said he was painting."

Moving right along. Or moving back, back to the future. We have present perfect. An example of a present perfect sentence: "He", sorry. "They had a shower." It's about time; they smell a lot. So, if we wanted to report this or write this down, we would say... Oh, he said... He... Sorry: "They have had". This is strange, "have had". Check this out. Present perfect is going to change to past perfect. So: "They have had", if we change it to past perfect, we have to change it to "had had". Ronnie, "had had"? Is that true? Yes. This is right. So, present perfect, "have had", changes to "had" plus PP: "had had". So: "They said they had had a shower." And it's about time, because they're pretty smelly.

The next one: past simple. For example: "He took my photo." In this sentence, your verb is "took". This is a past. So, past simple, present perfect, both of these we have to change to, again, past perfect. So we're going to change this to: "They said he had taken my photo."

And the last one, past perfect, don't change it. It's cool. It's already done. Past perfect you have to change to past perfect, so you don't have to change the grammar in this sentence. -"They had had a dog." -"They said they had had"-that's crazy again, but it's true-"a dog." So, if you have a past sentence, present perfect, simple past, or past perfect, all of these are going to be changed to past perfect. That's easier. "Had" plus the past participle. You okay?

Moving on to the future. We have two future tenses in English. Future simple or simple future, which is going to be "will", and we have future "going to". Simple future: "She will go." Future "going to": "They are going to play football with their new shoes." Do you play football? Future simple: "She will go", all we're going to do is change the verb or the modal "will" to "would". So it's going to change to: "She would go". That's cool. "Will" changes to "would". That's easy.

TRANSCRIPT

Hi there. My name's Ronnie. In the near future I will be teaching you many lessons. If you have a request or if you'd like to leave a comment, please do. Today I'm going to talk to you or teach you about future progressive or future continuous. They're the same. So, maybe you've learned future or you're trying to learn future progressive, and you look on the internet or you look in a textbook and it says: "Future continuous". No fear, ladies and gentlemen, future progressive and future continuous - exactly the same grammar. They just like to confuse you, and give me a chance to teach you this. So, hallelujah.

And basically, future progressive or future continuous, we're going to use in the future for a planned action or an action that we think is going to happen or that will happen in the future. There's one very important thing that you must consider about the future progressive or future continuous is it must have a time marker in the sentence. So if you do not put a time marker in the sentence, it's wrong. Okay? It's shameful. I don't know if I can talk to you anymore about it. So do me a favour: please just use a time marker.

Let's go through the basic structure. Future simple, future progressive 101. We're going to have a subject, we're going to have "will" or "won't" and then we're going to have "be" and a verb with an "ing". Positive, negative. The question form or the interrogation form, we're going to have "will" plus the subject plus "be" plus verbing.

Now, remember: when you ask someone a question, please ask them in the positive form, because for example, if I said: "Won't you be learning English?" Won't I be learning English? Yes. No. Oh. Please, please, please keep it simple: always ask people a positive question. I don't care what your grammar is, positive questions are always the easiest answer.

Let's jump to the form. So, example: "I will be eating lunch at 12." I always eat lunch at 12, kind of like a habit that I have. In this sentence, can you tell me where the time marker is? What's the answer? Sorry? At 12. Good answer. Tommy, good one. So, in this sentence, "at 12" is our time marker. Subject, "will be", verbing, then I have my noun, "at 12". I will be eating lunch when? At 12. This is what I plan to happen. This is what I hope will happen; I'm hungry.

And in this sentence: "At this time tomorrow, we will be sitting on the beach." Oh, wouldn't that be great? If you would like to go to the beach with me, just throw me some money for an airplane ticket, I'll be on the next airplane, I'll be sitting on the beach drinking some margaritas with you. So: "At this time tomorrow, we will be sitting on the beach." In this sentence, do you know where my time marker is? So we have this big fat one: "At this time tomorrow", so this tells me exactly when in the future I think the action will happen.

"They will be going to Italy this year." Oh, they're lucky. Hi, everyone in Italy. Thanks for watching. Besos or bravo, or something Italian there. Good wine, guys. "They will be going to Italy this year." In this sentence we have "this year". The grammar is quite easy. Again, subject, "will be" plus verbing. Oh, but maybe something happened and now, unfortunately... Uh oh. Guess what? Reality: "Ronnie won't be going to Italy this year." But if you'd like to send me an airplane ticket to go to Italy, I'll be there. I'll be on the next airplane. I promise. Mm-hmm. Airplane tickets. Donate money. www.engvid.com. Also, I have a YouTube channel. Do you want to join that? Subscribe to my YouTube channel. Send me some airplane ticket money. I'll hang out with you.

"We will be sleeping by the time you get home." Sorry: "He", not "me". I'm going to be awake. "He will be sleeping by the time you get home. In this sentence: "by the time you get home" tells us when in the future the action's going to happen. So what is he going to be doing? "He will be sleeping by the time you get home." Then the party starts, right?

And let's look at the question form, some examples. We are going to use this to check plans. Now, maybe you're going to have a party. And you're like: "Okay, well, what time?" Well: "Will they be coming at 6 tomorrow?" In this sentence we have two time markers; we have a time and the place. So: "Will they be coming at 6 tomorrow?" We need to know what the plan is.

How to learn grammar – any grammar!!!

English Grammar is frustrating to remember because there are so many rules -- and so many exceptions to the rules! When you learn a new grammar point, it is very important to remember two things: the how we use it and why we use it. I will teach you what you need to remember and give you lots of examples so that you can use your time effectively and learn ANY grammar point!

Take the quiz here: http://www.engvid.com/how-to-learn-any-grammar/

TRANSCRIPT

Hello. Do you have to learn grammar? I have to learn grammar sometimes. I'm a grammar teacher. And I know grammar is really, really difficult sometimes. And it just makes you want to scream, pull your hair out, freak out, and cry sometimes. "I hate grammar." The reason why grammar is so difficult is because it's confusing; you have to remember so many rules; and then, there are exceptions to these so many rules; and it's just really confusing; and it's very different from your native language or languages, depending on how many you speak. So really, really easy, really effective method to learn any grammar ever in the world. So today's lesson is how to learn, remember, and use any grammar that is on a test, whether you're taking TOEFL or TOEIC or IELTS or Cambridge -- anything that you have to remember grammar for, this is going to be a godsend for you. It's going to help you so much. Great. So let's get into it.

First one, you have two points to remember. That's it. Two. Done. The first one is the structure. You have to remember and know how the grammar is made. Okay? The second point is how or why do we use this? Why do I need to learn this stupid grammar? Am I ever going to use it in real life? Why would I say this? Why do I need present perfect? Why can't I just use simple past? Why do I need continuous? Why do I need passive? These are the questions you have to ask two people, one, your teacher, and two, yourself. If you are teaching English and you don't know structure, and more importantly, how and why, you've got some homework to do.

People -- students have asked me, "Teacher, why?" "I don't know." Just say to them, "I don't know." Go look it up. Do some research. Find the answer. The best thing is to find your own answer if you have to do this. So let's dive into this.

First of all, when I say "structure", I mean how do you make the grammar? How do you make the sentence? So if I give you the example of present continuous, this is the name of the grammar. If you just remember the name of the grammar, it's useless. So it comes to the test and it says, "Write a present continuous sentence." He's like, "Uh, I know present continuous. How do you make it?"

So the way that I always remember grammar is I always like to use a subject. Now, if you want to replace the word "subject" with any other word like [random sounds] or "dog", that's cool. But I like to use "subject" as my beginning.

Then, for present continuous, it's going to be "to be verb". But instead of just writing "to be verb", it really, really helps you if you write out the different forms of the "to be" verb. So for example, "I am", "he is", "we are". Okay?

The second thing -- sorry. The last thing in the present continuous that makes the verb continuous is you're going to have the -ing. So the structure or the form that I like to use for the present continuous is subject + "am", "is", "are" + verb + ing. The present continuous also has another name, which is "present progressive". They're exactly the same grammar point. The usages are the same. But it's just a different word for it. Don't worry. It's cool. Don't worry about it.

So next step -- we've got the structure. Next step, very important, how or why do I use this? Why do I need to use this grammar? Why do I need to learn this grammar? You need to learn it because it's on your test. But as soon as the test is finished, why would I use this? How would I say this in my life? Answer -- actions you are doing now. What are you doing right now? Are you watching a video? I think you are. So maybe you're watching a video. Maybe you're eating something. Maybe you're brushing your teeth. I can't see you. You can see me. What are you doing? Ah. Okay. Good. So present continuous, as an example, structure, how and why.

Another really, really good thing to do is to write down as many examples as you can. It's always good to practice the grammar written. Also, talk. Speak. Get a video recorder and talk into it -- or tape recorder, digital recorder. Listen to yourself saying the new grammar sentences. It will help you remember if you play it back.

Learn Grammar: Negative Questions in English

Do you want to learn English? Don't you want to learn English? Negative questions can be very confusing, even for native speakers. In this lesson, I teach you how to ask these questions, and how to answer them. Aren't you glad that I can teach you these things?! Of course you are. That's why you subscribe to my channel, isn't it? Take the quiz on this lesson here: http://www.engvid.com/negative....-questions-in-englis

TRANSCRIPT

"Don't you like to watch videos?" "Yes." "Aren't you Ronnie?" "No. Yes. I don't know." Today, I'm going to teach you about something -- it's really been bothering me for the last -- I don't know, six years? It is negative questions in English. The reason why this bothers me is because it's taken me so long to figure out how to teach it to you properly, and how we as native speakers actually handle these questions. First of all, let's go through some examples of negative questions.

First one, "Don't you like pizza?" So you can ask someone, "Don't you like pizza?" "Yes." "Yes, you don't like pizza, or yes you like pizza?" "Yes, I like pizza." "So why didn't you say, 'No. No, I don't like pizza'?" But you don't like pizza. Do you see my confusion? You must be confused.

Let's look at this question, "Aren't you hungry?" "No. No I'm not hungry." "Oh, okay. Good." "Yes." "Aren't you hungry?" "Yes." "Aren't you hungry?" "Yes." "Aren't you hungry?" "Yes." I don't know if you're hungry or not.

"Can't you play football?" "No." "No, you can't play football, or yes, you can play football?" I am still baffled -- which means confused -- about if someone asks me a negative question, if I give them a yes or no answer, the answer is still unclear. So why would someone ask you a negative question? Why would you ask someone a negative question? This answer I can do for you.

Most people like pizza. "Do you like pizza?" "Yes, I like pizza." "Do you like pizza?" "No." "[Gasps] You don't like pizza?" I am surprised by your "no" answer. So the easiest way and the best way -- maybe the only way -- that I can help you with this is we would only ask a negative question if at first you asked a positive question and were surprised by the answer. Let's write this down. Positive question. "Do you like pizza?" "No." You've got to do the face, too. "You don't like pizza?" Surprise. "No. I don't like pizza because I don't like red things." "Okay, whatever."

To help you with this negative answer, what you have to do is you have to give the person more than a yes or a no.

Example 2. If I asked you like this, "Are you hungry?" And you said, "No." "You have not eaten breakfast or lunch. Aren't you hungry?" "No, I'm not hungry." Again, you're going to say the rest of the sentence. "No, I'm not hungry." We would only use this negative question if our first question is a "no" and if the answer is a surprise to you.

If you're from Brazil -- hi. "Can't you play football? You're from Brazil. Every person in Brazil can play football." "No, they can't. That's not true." But someone can ask you, "You're from Brazil? You can't play football?" And you say, "Yes. No." You can say, "Yes, I can play football", or you can say, "No, I can't play football." There is a way to answer this. And unfortunately, you are going to have to use more than a "yes" or "no" answer.

So maybe the best advice I can give you when you're beginning or when you're practicing English is don't ask negative questions. Only ask a negative question if you are surprised by the person's answer. Okay? If someone asks you a negative question, and you definitely know your opinion, to get the answer out clearly, what you have to do is justify. If you want to say "no", you have to repeat, "No, I do like it. No, I don't like it. Yes, I like it. Yes, I don't like it, which doesn't make sense." So what you have to do is either say "yes" or "no", and then give the positive or the negative answer. Don't you want to take a quiz? "Of course, I want to take a quiz, Ronnie." Perfect answer. "Don't you want to get 100 percent on the quiz?" "No." "What?" "No, I do want to get 100 percent." Go to www.engvid.com. Take the quiz. Bye.

Transportation Vocabulary & Phrasal Verbs - GET ON, GET OUT OF, RIDE, GO

Languages
5 Views · 5 years ago

http://www.engvid.com/ I GET OFF a train, bus, or subway. But: I GET OUT OF a car or taxi. I RIDE a bike and a motorcycle. How do you get to work or school? Learn how to use phrasal verbs to talk about transportation, then test yourself on the quiz at http://www.engvid.com/transportation-vocabulary-phrasal-verbs/

Hello. How are you? Today, we're going to learn about getting around. This means taking public transportation or talking about how you got somewhere or how you're going to go somewhere. All of the examples I've written in the past tense because somebody might ask you, "How did you get here?" "What? I flew because I have a magic carpet. That's how. Why?"

We have different ways of getting places. Verbs: You can say, "I took a 'bus', a 'train', a 'cab', or a 'taxi'." "Cab" and "taxi" are the same. Or you can take a "plane". So with all of these nouns -- "plane", "cab", "taxi", "train", "bus" -- you're going to use the verb "took". There are no exceptions. You cannot say, "I rode a bus. I rode a train." It's wrong. "Rode" means that you were on top of the bus or on the train doing some bus surfing -- didn't happen.

I hear people say this a lot, "How did you get here?" "I ride car." "Wow. What were you doing on top of the car?" If you "ride" something, you're always on top of it. What can you -- what can you ride? I can ride a bicycle. So "ride" literally means you're on top of something. Tell me what you can ride. You can ride a bicycle, a motorcycle, a scooter, a moped. If you're on top of it, you're riding it -- a horse.

"I go by car." No, no, no. These, unfortunately, are wrong. We don't say, "I go by car" or "I ride car." We say, very easily, past tense of the verb "drive": "drove". "How did you get here?" "I drove." You do not need to say, "I drove by car" because you're not driving a bus; you're not driving an airplane; you're not driving a train. Very simply, you can say, "I drove."

Another thing that I hear people say is, "I go by foot." "One foot? You have one foot? Did you hop here the whole time? You must be tired. You go by foot? Wow." Maybe you only have one foot. That's cool. You should drive or take a bus. Another thing: "I walk on foot." This means that you take your hands, and you literally put them underneath your feet and you walk -- if this is your foot -- you walk on your hands. This is painful. I do not recommend this. I would not literally want to walk on my hands. Please don't walk on your feet. Do not walk on your hands. "I walk on your foot" would be, "I'm sorry" -- walk on hands, walk on feet. You'd be stepping on your feet, and you would never get anywhere. You just want to say, "I walked." "How did you get here today, Ronnie?" "I walked."

Another thing that's really confusing in English -- and I understand why -- is when to use the phrasal verb "got on" or "got off", and when to say "got in" or "got out". So as an example, we would say, "I got off the train." Let's write that down. Or you can say, "I got on the train." Also, we use this with a bus. So you can say, "I got on the bus" and "I got off the bus." You don't need to use extra words. Like, you don't want to say, "I got off on the bus." You don't want to say, "I got the train off." Unnecessary. Please do not use extra words when you say this. You're just going to say, "I got on" -- the verb -- the noun. Or "I got off", the noun.

"Train", "bus", and the "plane", or an "airplane". So think about this: What does -- or what do trains, buses, and airplanes have in common? No? Nothing? No? Okay. A train, a bus, or an airplane has many people. You can think of it as something that is public or very large. So a train, a bus, or an airplane, you have to pay. It's really big, and you can fit many people on it. So you're going to get on or get off something that is very big. You're going to get off something that's very big. Or if it's public transportation, you can fit many people.

TRANSCRIPT:
Hello, my name is Ronnie. I am going to teach you some English. It's going to be great. It's going to be easy, I think. Something that a lot of you have difficulty with in English is nouns, verbs, adjectives, and all those other crazy, crazy things we have in English.

I'm going to teach you two tricks that will help you, when you are trying to figure out if a word is a verb or a noun, or when to use a verb. Is it a noun? Do what? So today's lesson is the birth of a noun. You are going to take a verb, it's going to do some magical things, and by the end of the lesson it is going to become a noun, so birth of a noun.

How to change a verb to a noun, the first thing we are going to do is have a look at the verbs. We have the verb "employ, develop, move, judge, advertise, and establish." Do you think you see a spelling mistake here?

Are you wondering why this is an "s" and not a "z-ed," well, let me tell you something. In the UK also known as England, they would spell it with a zed, whereas in North America we spell it with an "s." So there is a spelling difference.

And so, you might see it spelled with a "zed" or an "s." Both of them are correct, if you have spellcheck when you are typing something, it might go wrong. But you might have American spellcheck, so just be careful. So, either "zed" or "s" is correct.

"Employ" do you know what that verb means? Have you heard that word, "employ?" It means use or work. The next one we have is "develop;" if you "develop" something it basically means you help to grow.

The next one is move. I am moving my right hand, but not my left hand. That would cause much problem. The next one is judge. There's a noun of "judge" and a verb of "judge." To "judge" something means to give your opinion.

The next one is "advertise." The "s" and the "zed" the pronunciation is the same. Don't worry. "Advertise" means to tell something, usually you do it for money. You "advertise" something on a website, or you advertise on TV to get a product, to make you money.

The next one is "establish, establish means to make something. What we're going to do, two tricks. The first trick is we're going to take these verbs, and we are going to add four letters to make it a noun. The letters are "m-e-n-t."

So we have the verb "employ." The noun changes to "employment." Did you just say mint and not m-e-n-t? I did, English pronunciation is difficult. In English we don't say employment, we actually say it like this word, "m-i-n-t." Like a breath mint. So all of these words you must spell with "m-e-n-t," but your pronunciation is going to be "m-i-n-t," like "mint, employment."

The next one we have is a "development." "Employment" means job. "Development," we use it to mean an area that has been "developed." You could use it to say it's a building; this is a "development" of this country, or a building of a company.

"Move," we have the noun of movement. "Move, move," not "move, move," do you know why I got distracted? Because, I was thinking of a Bob Marley song that's called "A Movement of the People, "movement" of the people. If anyone is a Bob Marley fan out there.

"Movement" of people is a good way to remember what this word means. "Movement" basically means a group of people who try and change something in society, so a "movement" is a group of people.

The next one is "judge, judgment." It means the same, the noun, and the verb. You give your opinion of something. "Advertisement," an "advertisement" you will see on the subway. You will see everywhere you go, everywhere you look. In the world, people are trying to sell you something in an "advertisement." We usually shorten the word, and just call it an "ad."

Next one is "establish," changes to "establishment." For some reason I don't like the word "establishment." "Establishment" means something that has been "established." We usually use it in the form of government or politics; it can also mean a place like a restaurant. I like restaurants. The next trick, trick number one is you take the verb you change it to a noun using "m-e-n-t" or "m-i-n-t" "employment." The next one is this word, "act."

Basic English Grammar - TOO MUCH, TOO MANY, A LOT OF

In this grammar lesson, I will teach you when to use "too much", "too many", and "a lot of". You will learn about countable and uncountable nouns, and also about the difference in talking about "good" nouns and "bad" nouns. Watch the lesson, then take the quiz: http://www.engvid.com/basic-english-grammar-too-much-too-many-a-lot-of/

TRANSCRIPT:
Peekaboo. How are you? My name is Ronnie. I'm going to teach you some English. Imagine that I would teach you English on EngVid, www.engvid.com. Today's lesson is good versus bad with nouns.

I hear this mistake a lot, almost every day. So I want to help you. I want you to sound as natural as possible when you speak English.

So maybe you have already learned that we have uncountable and countable nouns. Now, what this means -- if you haven't learned this before -- is that if a noun is uncountable, we do not put an S at the end of the noun. So things that are really teeny tiny small like rice or sugar or salt are uncountable. Things that are liquid -- for example beer or water -- are uncountable. So all liquids and tiny things are uncountable. Also, gases are uncountable. That wasn't me.

So I could go on with a massive list of uncountable nouns, but you can do that yourself. Then, we have countable. Countable, obviously, you can stick an S on the end of the noun. So most things are countable. For example, dogs, hamburgers, cats, markers, eyes, hair -- hair is uncountable because there are so many tiny little hairs on one heads.

So this is the rule that you have learned. If your noun is uncountable, you have to say "too much". So maybe you have come up with a sentence that says, "I have too much sugar." Good. Okay. So you know that sugar is uncountable, and you have used a very good English sentence. You used, "I have too much sugar." Good.

And then, your teacher says, "Okay. Make a countable noun sentence." Okay. "I have too many pens." I have a lot of pens. "I have too many pens." Very, very good grammatical sentences. But there's a problem. Bad nouns. Bad, bad, bad nouns. Bad nouns, what I mean is when we use "too much" or "too many", your noun has to be something that you do not like okay? For example, maybe you go to school and your teacher gives you homework. Do you think homework is a bad noun or a good noun? What's your opinion of homework? I hate homework. I hate it. It's boring. I hate it. I hate it. So in my opinion, homework is a bad noun. So I'm going to say, "I have too much homework." Because homework is a negative or a bad thing, I can say, "Oh, God. I have too much homework tonight." Okay? "Too much" and "too many" are always going to be for negative or bad things that you don't like.

So "too many" -- maybe you go to the movie, and it's really, really crowded. You can say, "There are too many people." Now, maybe you like people. Maybe you don't like people. But in this situation, having a lot of people is bad. So once again, it is your opinion. "Too much" and "too many" are always for things that you do not like personally or you think are bad at the moment. For example, "There are too many calories in seven cookies." I like cookies. Who doesn't like cookies? I love cookies. But calories, they're bad. So I can say, "There are too many calories." Okay? "There is too much rain in the rainy season or in spring. There's too much rain. I don't want any more rain." Okay?

Now, in the reverse, we have the beautiful, lovely, happy good things. The beautiful, lovely, good things are my good nouns. Good nouns, as you might have guessed, are things that you like. For example, beer. You will never, ever, ever, open your fridge and go, "Oh, no. I've got too many beers. I've got too much beer." This will never happen. You will never go to the bank machine and go, "Look at that. I've got too much money." Never happens. So when it's a positive thing, what you're going to say is "a lot of". For example, "I have a lot of friends." Friends are usually good things. Or if you're lucky, you might say, "I have a lot of money." If you have a lot of money, Ronnie would like some money. Donate money. Money, money, money. Okay? "I have a lot of money." "I have a lot of beer." Yes. "I have a lot of friends."

The cool thing about "a lot of" is that it can be used for both countable and uncountable. It's very, very natural in English that we say "a lot of" as opposed to "too much" or "many". All the time.

So what I want you to do is I want you to get a lot of happiness in your life. I don't want you to have too much homework. I don't want you to have too many bad people in your life. And I want you to enjoy learning English. Until then, goodbye.

When NOT to use 'to' in English

Languages
7 Views · 5 years ago

"I'm going home" or I'm going to home"? "I'm going school" or "I'm going to school?" Why do we use 'to' with some words and not with others? In this English grammar class, I'll teach you many words that don't go with 'to'. This is a mistake that sounds bad to native speakers, so try to learn these words and stop making this mistake! Go here to take a quiz on this lesson: https://www.engvid.com/when-not-to-use-to/

TRANSCRIPT

"Are you going to home?" "Are you going home?" "Where are you going?" "What are you doing?" You're watching a video. My name's Ronnie. I'm going to teach you one trick. Finally, you will understand why in English, we say "I'm going to school" or "I'm going to work." But when we talk about our beautiful, warm, and cozy home we don't say "to". Why, why, why, I don't know. It's just English, isn't it? I can give you some clues. I'll give you some words. You will get this right away. It will be easy for you to do.

So if you look at this sentence, "Are you going home?" A very, very big mistake that everyone says will be, "Are you going to home?" And I go, "No, no 'to'. Don't say 'to'. Don't say 'to', no!" Okay, okay, okay, "Are you going home?" Yes, don't say "to", but why? You learned that when you are going someplace, you say "to". For example, "Are you going to bed?" We don't say "to the bed", by the way. We just say bed. "Are you going to bed?" "Are you going to work?" Or you can use the past tense, "Did you go to work?" "Did you go to school?" "Did you go to engvid.com today, and check out a new lesson?" But when you say "home", you do not use "to". So you know the rule, maybe that this is a noun. This is a noun, so when you use going to a place which is a noun, you have to say "to", and then you come along, and you find this beautiful home, and Ronnie freaks out, because you say "to" and then you don't understand why. I don't know but I will give you a list of words that are places. But all of these words on this board, you cannot use with "to". So "are you going abroad?" You cannot ask someone, "Are you going to abroad?" If you look in the dictionary; the dictionary, one of those books. If you look at an online dictionary it'll tell you that these are adverbs of location, whereas the other ones you've learned are nouns.

But hold on, "home" is a noun. Home is just this big exception going, "No, I am a noun. I don't want to have "to". All of these ones are not proper nouns, they're adverbs of location. Let's go through underground, underneath the surface of the land. If you have ever been to London, there's a big system called the Tube. It's also called the "underground". Most places in the world call it the "underground". In Canada, we call it the subway -- "sub" means "under". So you can say, "I'm going underground. I'm going underground." If you know The Jam -- "Wow, what an amazing band, Ronnie," I know. You will know this song called "I'm Going Underground." Maybe by the magic of video, we'll put on that video for you. "I'm going underground." "I'm going downtown," or you can say "uptown". I would just sing songs for everything, "Uptown Girls" -- little bit of Billy Joel for you. Uptown, downtown -- you don't need the "to". There, here, anywhere, nowhere, somewhere -- you don't need "to". In, inside, out, outside, upstairs, downstairs don't use "to". They're not nouns. They're places.

One other thing to be very careful about, please, when you say this you want to say "upstairs" and "downstairs." Too many times I hear people say, "I went down-stair." Only one, just one stair, I made it. "I went up-stair." And then what did you do? You just stood there? Wow, don't say "down-stair, up-stair". Please use all of the stairs. Go up, okay? That'll be fun, more exciting. You can fall down the stairs too, that's fun. But again, we don't say "to". "I'm going downstairs." "I'm coming upstairs."

If you are confused, or if you have ever been confused about when to use "to", the only advice I can give you is please remember this list of words. Once you have remembered this list, you'll go, "Oh that was easy." [That was easy.]" Yes, it was. Thank you, goodbye.

http://[a]www.engvid.com%2F[/a] It is wrong to say "Her is cute". You must say "SHE is cute". Her, she, he and him are confusing in English. Ronnie's going to help you understand. Watch HER video and learn the differences. Never make mistakes with these pronouns again after you watch his grammar lesson! Take the quiz here: http://[a]www.engvid.com%2F[/a]personal-pronouns/

TRANSCRIPT

Hello. How are you? I'm very, very well. Thank you. My name is Ronnie. I'm going to teach you something very easy but a little bit confusing and difficult even if you have studied English or grammar for a while. I hear people make this mistake every day. Again, so this is what we're doing: when you should use "she" or "he" or "his" -- sorry -- "her" or "his". These are two words that a lot of people get confused.

First of all, the thing -- or a mistake that a lot of people make is "she" and "he" -- which one's the girl? Which one's the boy? Most of you know that "she" is the girl, but when you speak, you mix it up, and you say, "My mom went to the store. He bought -- " what? He what? Your mom is a "he" now? What happened on the way to the store? Did something happen to your mom that changed it into a "he"? So be careful. "She" is a girl; "he" is a boy.

Now, this is the trick. You will remember this forever if you get this. "She" or "he" going to be followed by a verb, okay? So subject + verb. "She" or "he". So "she likes", "he hates", and then, if you want to, you're going to write a noun, or you're going to say a noun. For example, "She likes chickens." "He hates apricots. He doesn't like them at all." So when you use "she" or "he", it's always going to be followed by a verb. When we use "her" or "his", it's going to be followed by a noun because it is a possessive pronoun. So I can say, "her dog" because "dog" is a noun. Or I can say "his chicken". Then, usually, I would use a verb. For example, "Her dog is cute", or "his chicken -- let's say we put an S -- his chickens are -- these are your verbs. Uh-oh -- sexy!" Sexy chicken time!

So if you need to remember, "Oh, my God. Do I say -- do I say 'her' or 'his' or 'she' or 'he'?" Just remember: "she" or "he" plus the verb -- any verb you want, and "her" or "his" plus a noun. If you can remember these two very simple things for English grammar, you're going to be, "Hallelujah, Ronnie. You saved my life." You're welcome. Stay tuned. Go to www.engvid.com for a quiz on "she", "he", "his", and "hers". 'Til then.

English Modal Verbs - May, Might, Could, Can - Talking About Possibilities

Languages
9 Views · 5 years ago

The English modal verbs 'can', 'could', 'may' and 'might' are used to talk about possibilities. This English modal verbs lesson will help you learn how to use may, might, could, and can correctly.

For example:

- He can be really mean sometimes
- It could take us a few hours to finish this
- They might have missed the train

These sentences all express possibilities: things which are possible, but not certain. We often use these modal verbs to talk about things we are not sure about, or to give our opinions.

See the full version of this lesson on our website: https://www.oxfordonlineenglis....h.com/modal-verbs-po

In this lesson, you can learn:

1) How to use 'can' to talk about general possibilities in the present or the future.
2) How to use 'could', 'may' and 'might' to talk about specific possibilities.
3) The difference between general and specific possibilities, and when you need to use 'can' or 'could/may/might'.
4) Talking about possibilities in the past using 'could have', 'may have' or 'might have'.
5) The two different meanings of 'could have'—'could have' can be used in two different ways to talk about possibilities in the past, depending on whether you know what happened or not.

Contents:
1. How to Express Possibility in the Present or Future 0:34
2. How to Talk about General and Specific Possibilities 3:57
3. How to Talk about Possibilities in the Past 7:53
4. Past Possibilities: Two Meanings of 'Could Have' 9:58

We use the modal verb 'can' to talk about general possibilities—things which can be true at different times, or for different people. For example: "It can take two hours to get there by train." This means that it can take two hours every time, not just once.

You can use the verbs 'could', 'may' or 'might' to talk about specific possibilities—things which are only possible at one time. For example: "It could take you two hours to get there by train." This means it could take -you- two hours, not someone else. It's specific. In this sentence you could use any of the three modal verbs 'could', 'may' or 'might'—there's no difference in meaning.

To talk about possibilities in the past, use the modal verbs 'could', 'may', or 'might', plus 'have' plus a past participle. For example: "I don't know where they are—they could have missed the train." In this sentence, you can use any of the verbs 'may', 'might' or 'could', as before.

How to Use Should, Ought to, Supposed to and Had Better - English Modal Verbs Lesson

Learn how to use 'should', 'ought to', 'supposed to' and 'had better' in this video lesson. You'll see what these verbs mean and how to use them.

See the full version of this free English lesson here: http://www.oxfordonlineenglish.....com/should-ought-su

Contents:
1. How to Use 'Should' 0:45
2. 'Should' vs. 'Ought to' 2:42
3. How to Use 'Supposed to' 5:27
4. How to Use 'Had Better' 9:27

We use the verbs 'should', 'ought to', 'supposed to' and 'had better' to say what you or other people think is the right thing to do.

That means these verbs express advice, opinion, criticism or (for 'had better'), warnings or threats.

'Should' and 'ought to' have the same meaning, although 'ought to' is much more formal and is not commonly used in spoken English.

'Supposed to' refers to what other people think is right, while 'should' expresses what you think is right.

'Had better' expresses the idea that something bad will happen if you don’t do what I say. This is why 'had better' can also be used to make threats or give someone a warning.

In this lesson, you'll learn more about:

- What 'should' means and how it compares to 'ought to', 'supposed to' and 'had better'.
- When you can/can't use 'ought to' instead of 'should'.
- The difference between 'should' and 'supposed to'.
- The meaning of 'had better' and how to use it.

In this lesson, you can learn about modal verbs, what they are, why you need them and how they work. Modal verbs, like 'can', 'must' or 'should' are very common in English.

See this full free lesson on our website:
https://www.oxfordonlineenglis....h.com/english-modal-

Contents:
1. What Are Modal Verbs? 0:28
2. What Makes Modal Verbs Different? 1:54
3. How to Use Modal Verbs to Express Different Meanings 6:04
4. Using Different Modal Verbs to Express the Same Idea 9:18
5. How to Learn and Use English Modal Verbs 13:22

The questions we will discuss in this lesson:

1) What are modal verbs?
2) How are modal verbs different to 'normal' verbs?
3) Why are modal verbs important?
4) What makes modal verbs complicated?

Modal verbs are verbs which are used to add meaning to another verb. They follow different grammar rules to regular verbs, and can often be used in many different ways.

The basic modal verbs in English are: can, could, may, might, will, would, shall, should and must.

There are other verbs which behave like modal verbs, although they do not have all the features of 'full' modal verbs. Examples include: ought to, need and have to.

Modal verbs are different from 'normal' verbs in several ways. First of all, modal verbs can only be used together with another verb in the infinitive form, without 'to'. Secondly, modal verbs don't have tenses like other verbs do: they don't have past, perfect, future forms etc.

Modal verbs are used to express many, many different meanings, such as:

- Giving advice: "I think you should take the job."
- Talking about possibility: "We could do it by Friday, if you wanted."
- Asking permission: "May I take this seat?"
- Expressing certainty: "You can't have seen him—he's on holiday in Germany!"

And many, many more… All of the meanings which we use modal verbs to express are very, very common in all forms of English. You could hardly say or write anything in English without using modal verbs.

Although modal verbs can appear very simple, they're actually incredibly complicated, and it will take you time and work to understand them fully. However, if you can use modal verbs well, this will give you much more control over your English, so it's worth spending more time to learn about the details of modal verbs.
