sorry okey-okey needy are we recording

now

hi Oh yawn yes oh we’re on hi Internet

oh I missed I missed when you hit the

start recording button welcome back to

our english-language YouTube channel my

name is Alisha and today we’re going to

talk about prepositions of location so

last week we talked about prepositions

of time this week we’re going to talk

about prepositions of location so last

week we talked about ah at and on and by

for example this week we’re going to do

a little bit differently alright so as

people join I’ll say hi but actually

there were a lot of viewer questions

last week that I want to talk about you

guys had really good questions from last

week so I want to mention that hi from

Columbia Liz from Columbia hi I’ll try

to say hi to people but there’s a lot I

want to talk about some really good

preposition questions so I’m gonna start

there and then I’ll come back to YouTube

and Facebook comments when Facebook is

up maybe Facebook has started anyway the

first thing that I want to look at

someone named Patrick Juan asked what’s

the difference between in time and on

time in time and on time great question

in time means to complete something

before a deadline there’s some kind of

deadline you have to finish things by

Facebook Europe and on time means an

action is completed at the correct time

or is going to be completed at the

correct time so in time means there’s

some deadline you have to finish things

by on time means going to be completed

by a deadline great question Patrick

okay another question I want to mention

was from Rene Kenya who asked can we use

the preposition at with

midnight and noon yes you can we talked

last week about using at with times like

seven o’clock eight o’clock nine o’clock

but we can use at with noon and midnight

they are times technically okay um let’s

see let’s see let’s see also let’s see

let’s see

everybody is joining oh my gosh Facebook

is up high ah let’s see from Algeria’s

house on let’s see I’ll take a break

from answering people’s questions and

look at comments for a minute um let’s

happened to my hand uh it’s it’s not so

serious but yeah I was I was washing

dishes two days ago in my in my house

and suddenly a cup just broke when I was

washing dishes and I cut my hand I cut

my hand so it’s not so serious but I

shouldn’t move it so I have this lovely

bandage on it today I’m okay thank you

oh well let’s see um let’s see let’s see

oh yes if you are just joining us today

our topic for today is

repetition of location prepositions of

location we’re going to talk about using

at on no at and by and in and into and

on to today yeah so if you’re just

joining I cut my hand and in a kitchen

accident it’s okay but I have to wear

this now for a bit okay yes it is 11

o’clock here just after 11 o’clock here

okay let’s see a couple more questions

that you guys had last week someone said

what fat Mohammadi said what a

preposition should I use with dates so

like the 20th of September the 15th of

January so you should use on with a date

so think about it last week we talked

about using on with days so like on

Sunday on Monday use it the same way

with a date on the 20th of September on

the 15th of January on the 19th of

August for example okay then let’s see

hello Amira from Egypt Carlos no I’m not

in Brazil on Facebook Court Meng hung

hello Mohammed on Facebook hi Javier

hello on Facebook Alexandre on YouTube

hi let’s see young John on Facebook

Chinese but from Australia hi yes sir on

Facebook hello millena cooking is

dangerous when cooking’s not so

dangerous this was just a strange

mist-like accident my cup just broke

when I was washing it so well okay um

let’s see I have a couple more questions

you guys had really good questions

ah but time is going quickly so let’s

see maybe I should look at the

difference between by 8:00 p.m. and at

8:00 p.m. that will be the last one I

talked about today so Francois dufort

says could you explain the difference

between by 8:00 p.m. and at 8:00 p.m.

okay

so first if you want to know more about

bi there is a YouTube video up on the

channel about by vs. until so check that

out for a few more examples

about how to use by but by tells us a

deadline so we have to finish something

by 8:00 p.m. at 8:00 p.m. is just

telling us the time when an action is

going to happen that’s just giving us

information when is something going to

happen by tells us a deadline for

something okay all right

time’s going quick yes so lots of people

oh yeah there’s other ways to share it

here too all right

as I did last week every week I have an

example of how I used last week’s

grammar point well actually this is my

this example is every week for me um

this is my my tweet from last week my

example tweet this week’s live stream

starts in 5 in 5 so basically when I

share live stream information on Twitter

I always use this pattern in 5 so last

week we talked about using the

preposition in before a period of time

here I removed 5 minutes it but it means

in five minutes this live stream starts

in 5 minutes so I used this preposition

actually every week okay ooh it’s warm

but let’s begin today’s topic we have

lots of people here now so um this week

we’re going to talk again about

prepositions but in a different way so I

want to start with the preposition at so

we had someone last week we had a sign a

chen who asked

at my place or on my place which is the

correct preposition so the correct

preposition is at my place

at my place so today again I have white

board but I have I’m going to take a

little time to write today my hand is

out of commission so we’re going to use

at to talk about an exact location or a

specific place this is when we use at so

at is used for an exact location some

place that is specific no ok so at a

first item today at is used for exact

locations exact location so for example

at my desk or at the table or at the

office at the bank at home a specific

location we use at to you to talk about

that so for example I’m at my desk right

now or I’m at the office so as we do

every week let’s try to make a few

example sentences with this preposition

Fernando yes you already have one on

Facebook I’m at my place nabil says I’m

at home watching you good so for first

example question today where are you

watching this video

where are you watching this video so I’m

watching this video at school I’m

watching this video at home at the

office at the bank at the bar I don’t

know where are you watching this video

so this is usually a place place so at

my desk at the office for example trivia

freak at the airport Wow cool okay

Anjelica hey Angelica I’m at home

watching this video at home nice now

gearson says at my chair for chair we’ll

actually use in my chair because chair

we don’t really think of a chair as like

a location chair is more of like an

object

I suppose let’s see I’m watching this

video at my bed well actually use in for

that in my bed you are inside your bed

will talk about in and just

uh Liz says I’m watching this video at

home yes good I’m watching this video at

school nice uh oh there’s a question on

YouTube will this be live later to watch

yes you can watch this video again later

please check our YouTube page or our

Facebook page you can watch this anytime

and actually someone in a really good

tip if the speed of the content is too

fast you can replay the video on YouTube

a little bit slower that’s really cool

yeah okay so please yeah check it out

there okay I’m watching your video at

home good watching the video in my

bathroom we’ll talk about in in just a

moment watching this video under the sea

no no out there no out there let’s see

lots of people are using in but we need

to use at so a specific location for app

we’re going to talk about in next let’s

see at the University good at home good

at my house at home with my daughter

good let’s see yeah lots of people at

home good good good yes everyone most

people are at home one person is in the

in the airport at my home good at the

pool really watching this video at the

pool okay

watching this video ah for the mood the

mood is kind of special watching this

video on the moon on the moon actually

okay Sergio on YouTube I’m watching this

video at the grocery store really are

you shopping okay Silvio says my boss

doesn’t know but I’m watching it at work

that’s funny

at the coffee shop that says great okay

good

so we use at for an exact location like

at home at the bank at the office at

work at the pool but the next one I want

to talk about is in many of you have

already started using in but we should

we should use it in and add a little bit

differently so give me a second I take a

long time to write right now I can’t

open it again okay so when should we use

in

many of you said your bed for example or

your bathroom for example these are

spaces which are enclosed or surrounded

by something else or like the pool even

we use okay to give a visual we use in

four locations like where we’re enclosed

or surrounded by something so some of

you said in bed you should have said in

bed not at bet you are in your bed you

are surrounded by your bed so we used in

in that case if you are swimming in the

pool you are in the pool not at the pool

you are surrounded by the pool so we use

in in this case so some of you like

Samuel on Facebook just said I’m

watching this video in my car right now

perfect in my car because he is

surrounded by his car right now he’s

enclosed by his car

good so yes in the restroom of Vinicius

on YouTube in my bedroom in Brazil

perfect so in your bedroom in Brazil

both are correct in your bedroom is a

place you’re surrounded by that

physically and Brazil is the country you

are surrounded by perfect good so yes

I’m watching this video at home in my

room yeah so the specific place and the

place you are enclosed by at and in so

enclosed surrounded this is sort of the

image of in okay so let’s try to use in

innocent and some of you are already

doing that um so next question will be

where are you now where are you now I’m

in some location so some people I’m

watching this video in my bed at home

Liz nice okay I’m listening to this

video in my office

good I’m watching this video in my attic

good I’m watching this video in my bed

okay um let’s see in see in the mall

okay good in my city in my city

I’m watching slots of people are

watching in bed the end of the day for

you that maybe let’s see in my bedroom

good

be careful someone’s at in the beach

remember you’re not surrounded by the

beach yeah

so the beach we use at it’s a specific

location there’s you’re not surrounded

by the beach in that case okay

I am in my study room good let’s see

what should we use with I’m presently in

or at Brazil use in Brazil in Brazil

Brazil is all around you four countries

and cities in please use in four

countries and cities okay I’m in jail

nice jail that’s correct in jail in my

living room good in my dream okay I’m in

my office good I’m in the mall I’m in

the teachers lounge

for your sofa be careful you are not

surrounded by a sofa right you’re on

your sofa on your sofa we’re not talking

about on today unfortunately but mmm no

no on in four sofas on your sofa in my

bedroom good in the kitchen good in

Thailand

nice ok in a ship in my dream good in

the office and at the office actually

good question on YouTube in the office

and at the office both are correct both

are correct because you are surrounded

by your office and the office is a

specific location both are fine to use

both are fine ok great so we use in for

things places we are surrounded by so in

the swimming pool let’s see um he’s in

the shower for example or they’re in a

dark movie theater or I’m in the studio

I’m in an office I’m in a soundproof box

so we use in in this way ok a very hot

box yes the producer said it is very

warm in here ok alright so let’s go to

let’s see oh I have one one more well

I’ll come back to this point later if

there’s more time let’s go to the next

one let’s go to bye

so we talked about by last week four

deadlines yes and if you check the

YouTube video that’s up on the channel

you saw by is used a lot kind of with

until to talk about changes or to talk

about deadlines with actions but today

we’re going to talk about buy for a

location a location so let me draw my

picture my lovely picture

so by has the meaning of near or close

to something else so near or close to

something else is the meaning of I so

here I’m here’s my box for in yeah

here’s maybe a dot that is by this box

it’s near this box so by is something we

use to talk about close to items which

are close to or near something else so

some examples we could say I’m by the

park or by the coffee maker by my keys

or I’m by my house right now

it means near something up here okay

so near or something is by okay Marcelo

good question on YouTube why is it in

bed and on the sofa because when you are

sleeping in your bed there’s like

blankets yeah you are like inside

something but you don’t climb into your

sofa right so it’s on the sofa we lay on

the sofa but it’s in bed there blankets

and things you are inside of blankets

okay so but let’s make sentences with by

now by now so look around what’s around

you right now so what is near you right

now let’s make a sentence with this so

our example here ah something different

uh what is near you right now so for

example I am sitting by the microphone

I’m sitting by my phone I’m sitting by

the mouse I’m not touching the mouse I’m

sitting by the keyboard what

something by you right now yeah so you

could say he’s by your house up here

just what is near you right now what is

near you right now I’m sitting by what

nice if you’re just joining us today we

are talking about prepositions of

location we have talked about by and in

and at so far if you missed it if you

are just joining you can watch this

video back on youtube or on Facebook so

please don’t worry you can you can watch

what we’ve already talked about and also

yes if you’re just joining I cut my hand

a glass broke in my kitchen while I was

washing it that’s all thank you for your

concern okay let’s see let’s go to our

next oh yes our next uh maybe pair our

final pair

of items for today the last two I want

to talk about our into and out of so

hang on I have I’m gonna draw a picture

I am NOT an artist I’m gonna tell you

that right now so to make this visual

hopefully a little bit clearer oh no I’m

not an artist at all okay to make this

visual hopefully a little bit more

clearly the difference between like in

and in - I want to make a little

building okay so this is a lovely house

I have drawn here we go okay so we use

into the preposition into for moving

into an enclosed space

so here ah here my my stick person is

moving into a house so open space -

closed space we use the preposition in -

in this case so for example let’s see my

brother walked into my house for example

or the bear moved into the woods or

maybe I put food into my refrigerator so

moving from an open space to a more

closed space we use into for this into

or like he put my wallet into his bag so

open space - closed space this is how we

use into open space going in we use into

a more closed space here okay so let’s

try to use into innocence so what is

something let’s think of like an

everyday action that you do what is

something you do every day and this is

my example sentence yeah what is

something you do every day so every day

I so here should be a verb phrase yeah

every day I something something into

something something very open very open

example sentence here so for example

every day I get into bed at 11:00 p.m.

or every day I put food into my stomach

or let’s see ever

today I push my friend into a swimming

pool that’s not true but we can use yes

sorry I don’t really do that just an

example sentence um so what do you do

every day every day so we’re showing

there’s something happening we’re moving

from open open location to a more closed

location nice okay a good example

sentences I’ll take you into my country

good I’m walking into the school good

my morale dean–sorry on YouTube says I

am into you different use of that one

different use of into that’s not showing

movement really into you into something

I’m into noun phrase means interested in

something okay let’s see yes I do always

say the word let’s see because I’m

thinking I’m trying to see everything I

play music in my house in my house if

you’re playing music with a speaker

directing it into your house okay but I

play music into my house probably should

be I play music in my house Diego nice

one I put the books into the locker good

nice one mm what else Daniel on YouTube

my dog runs into my room good on YouTube

I put petrol into my bike good I jump

into the hole good um let’s see ah it’s

going fast every day I put money into a

piggy bank nice I put some ice cubes

into a glass of Cola nice one that’s

good I go into my company in order to

work nice I play music into my house be

careful some of you have used this

sentence I play music in my house in my

house the move the music is not moving

into or out of anything I play music in

my house good on Facebook every day I

put my cell phone into a drawer good

every day I prepare food how about I put

food into a refrigerator then it’s

perfect I put my wallet into my pouch

maybe nice Facebook okay buckle toe hi

from Japan I went into my company good

good good good so nice so movement we

are showing movement within to us from

an open space to a closed space so the

image if you’re a person if you’re

walking maybe you go from outside to

inside something else into something so

arid that’s on YouTube I try to put

English into my head yeah that’s a good

one that’s really good okay

but we’re running out of time as always

so let’s look at our last preposition

for today which is the opposite of into

the opposite of into also shows

movements yeah so it also shows movement

but in the opposite direction into the

opposite being out of out of so maybe

I’ll draw another arrow just for the

sake of consistency data okay so moving

out of so from a surrounded or an

enclosed area to a more open area yeah

we use out of to show this movement so

out of my house out of the school out of

the bank for example good so let’s use

the same sentence then what is something

you do every day but with out of out of

so let’s see uh like I get out of bed at

8:00 a.m. every day I get out of bed at

8:00 a.m. for example or every day I

take my phone out of my bag or every day

I get out of my house

or I go out of my house - so let’s use

the opposite form let’s use out of to

talk about moving from an enclosed

location to a more open location okay I

should be an artist yeah my artwork is

beautiful beautiful okay so let’s make

an out of sentence and then we’ll finish

for today okay lots of good into ones

still coming in out of oh good I put my

dog out of my house all right

good or I take my dog out of my house

good on Facebook I go out of my ship

really okay all right interesting on

Facebook I take my I take my dog I take

out of my dog to the park close i I

would say I take my dog to the park

because what what is moving there like

we use out of two to show something

moving from an enclosed location so you

could say I take my dog out of my house

or I take my dog to the park but not out

of the park that’s when you leave the

park

okay ah let’s see so movement remove

meant a nice one Carlos on YouTube I

need to get out of my room good cloudy

on Facebook every day I run out of my

job nice um what else every day I go out

of my house

in the early morning Keio nice one

Angelica I’m walking out of the

classroom perfect um let’s see every day

I take my cat out of my city okay

is that true I don’t know I don’t know

okay uh sick guy every day I run out of

the woods well a very dramatic example

sentence there good one um every day I

put my I put my clothes out of my room

maybe every day I take my clothes out of

my room remember we need to use a verb

that shows movement here so take out or

go some movement is happening there okay

Vinicius every day I take money out of

my pocket nice every day I go out of my

room nice I run out to my yard what else

lots of good ones lots of good ones
