live again as you join please make sure

to like and share the video so other

people can find today’s lesson I am

going to share the video now and then I

am going to begin because we have a lot

to talk about especially a lot of

vocabulary to cover so I will share

today’s lesson and get started we’re

going to begin today by talking about

some basic grammar structures I’m going

to review some very very basic grammar

that you can use to express your

emotions to express your feelings so

let’s begin with basic grammar patterns

alright let’s start over here very very

simply and please as as the lesson

continued send your example sentences in

the chat I will try to check live so

let’s start over here the first grammar

pattern is the most basic sentence

structure the most basic sentence for

today it’s I’m + adjective I’m plus

adjective so this I’m is the reduced

form the short form of I am yeah so I

read your comments all the time I I read

your comments almost every day lots of

people forget this hmm lots of people

right I plus adjectives like I happy or

something like that please don’t forget

this I’m I’m I’m plus adjective so we’ll

talk about vocabulary words to use here

a reminder an adjective is a word that

describes a noun or describes an adverb

so adjectives for example more later

happy I’m happy or I’m angry or I’m sad

and so on so use an adjective at the end

of the sentence to describe your

emotions okay then to make the negative

form you would just use not after

I’m so I’m not plus your adjective so

very very basic sentence structure to be

a little more specific then you can use

something like this I’m a bit or I’m a

little plus your adjective so this means

the level is kind of down so I’m happy

and I’m a little happy that’s kind of a

slight difference there it’s not such a

natural thing to say in that case but if

you want to be more specific about the

level of your emotion you can use I’m a

bit or I’m a little again don’t forget

this article here I’m all righty next

one is I’m feeling I’m feeling so we’re

using the progressive the continuous

form here I am feeling adjectives this

is commonly used when we are sick I’m

feeling sick or I’m feeling bad or I’m

feeling better so again these are very

very basic sentence structures we can

use for today’s lesson and that you can

use in your everyday life to describe or

to think about your condition or your

emotions I want to continue to a couple

more patterns specifically patterns we

use to describe the cause of something

so for this may be I think many of you

know about the verb to make to make so

here when we say for example he she or

it makes me this makes means causes

causes so we’re not talking about

creating something this sentence pattern

mean causes me to feel adjectives so for

example he makes me angry means he

causes me to feel angry this is another

very common way that we express emotions

specifically relating to the cause of

the emotion or she makes me happy if you

want to change the subject and use you

as the

subject like you make me adjective so

please note when your subject is you

it’s kind of hard to see on the screen

sorry you there’s no s here you make so

a reminder when your subject is he/she

it or that as well yeah this s has to be

you have to use this s at the end of

make so he makes me she makes me and so

on but you make me so please don’t

forget these little points well they’re

not little I know they seem little it’s

one letter but they’re very important so

again don’t forget this S don’t forget

your article in expressions like this

and don’t forget your apostrophe M here

so these little points they sound like

little points but they’re not so these

structures these sentence patterns are

going to be like the foundation those

are going to be the patterns we use for

today’s lesson

so yes send me your example sentences

some are coming in now des rois ears hi

on YouTube says she makes me happy for

example very nice very nice Leah says

you make me feel like a million bucks

nice one Leah okay dis rustier says

again you make me laugh good good good

good

Goodin hi sorry if I mispronounced your

name said I’m feeling strong Jack says

I’m feeling so stressed stressed so I’ll

add that to a list of words later

stressed Edie at the end stress is a

noun sam says why did you add s after

makes this is a present tense grammar

point when your subject is he she or it

the verb make takes an S at the end this

is true for regular verbs in English if

your subject is you there is no change

to the verb so your subject changes the

verb conjugation that’s why there’s an S

here okay

other example sentences Oscar says she

makes me feel comfortable good Carlos

says she makes me sick nice examples

everyone

okay I wonder if they’re true okay good

let’s take a quick break and then we’ll

go to maybe the biggest part of today’s

lesson which is about vocabulary I’ve

chosen a lot of vocabulary words to

expand your vocabulary I hope to break

and then we’ll go on let me see what

shall I show you today

with that let’s continue to part 2 for

today’s lesson our vocabulary part for

today’s lesson if you’re just joining

please make sure to like and share the

video so that other people can find

today’s lesson that would be very cool

so we covered basic grammar patterns so

you can use these basic grammar patterns

with the vocabulary words I’m going to

share or your own vocabulary words I

will try to check throughout the lesson

so let us begin let’s take a look so

I’ve used very small of small version of

adjectives wheels which I’ve shared in

these livestreams before basically

what’s happening here I have one core

adjective 1 main adjective

and other adjectives that share like the

core meaning of this word so here let’s

begin I’ll share what this is let’s

start with this one happy happy so when

you want to express a happy emotion you

can say I’m happy that’s fine but how do

you be more specific

how can you more specifically express

the type of happy you feel so for

example we have excited excited so

excited is a very positive word

generally we have happy feelings and

lots of energy about something before an

activity like I’m excited I’m going to

Disneyland or I’m excited I’m going to a

concert so it’s like happy plus energy

this one I’ve chosen this kind of slang

word this rough word stoked I’m stoked

we use this or some people use this to

express like that we’re happy about a

past activity like I was stoked I got

like a good job offer or we can use it

for a future activity it usually is used

for something very casual like I’m going

to the beach with my friends this

weekend I’m stoked so stoked is like

it’s like the same idea as excited but

we can use we use stoked a lot to talk

about like our past feelings too and it

tends to sound quite rough rough but not

in like a bad way but it’s just kind of

a cool laid-back word that some people

choose to use stones don’t next word is

thrilled thrilled this is maybe a good

pronunciation point for lots of you

thrilled I am thrilled we use this in

more formal situations we might use this

before an announcement so thrilled means

you’re happy yes of course you’re happy

but you’re also like happy in a formal

way maybe like it’s kind of more polite

so this is a vocabulary word you can use

at the beginning of an announced

or at the beginning of a speech

something like that so like if I have

something I want to share like on social

media for example I want to share a new

project I have said in the past you I’m

thrilled to share this project so it

means happy and excited and it sounds

kind of formal I’m thrilled I’m thrilled

this next one here is elated elated this

is another very more formal word we

don’t use this very often in everyday

conversation you might see this more in

writing especially in somewhat more

old-fashioned writing elated it means

just like very very happy and cheerful

elated elated finally ecstatic ecstatic

so ecstatic is like excited very very

excited plus very cheerful so that’s

ecstatic we’re very happy you very

excited and also quite cheerful so these

are all words that can mean happy in

some way but more specific so mu dot con

sorry if I said that wrong says what

about jubilant yes you can use jubilant

but it’s not really like an everyday

word we don’t use it so much in

conversation jubilant I guess would be

kind of like elated here so we don’t use

it so much in everyday conversation okay

any questions oh hi on facebook says i’m

thrilled to share my lesson on youtube

nice nice how do you use elated in a

sentence just like this I’m elated I am

NOT elated so these are all sentence

patterns we can use with these

expressions today so we use elated again

for like formal situations for most

situations okay let’s move on there’s a

lot to cover

let’s change adjectives now so next core

adjectives here is sad sad so let’s talk

about some other words and phrases that

means something similar to sad first is

down down so down of course means like

you know this

yeah down or also low I feel low I’m low

I’m down means my mood is down we don’t

use high by the way high has a very

different meaning I won’t talk about in

this lesson but when you talk about your

mood your emotions I’m down or I’m

feeling down it means your your mood or

your emotions are low next one is

disappointed disappointed this is a very

very useful word it means you had an

expectation and the expectation was not

met so for example you had a plan and

the plan did not happen you would say

I’m disappointed

I’m disappointed parents like to use

this with kids a lot they say I’m

disappointed in you I’m disappointed in

you we use the preposition in in that

case disappointed the next one here is

miserable miserable I’m miserable that

means like I’m very sad I don’t want to

do anything like I don’t want to leave

my house the situation is terrible we

can use miserable to describe our

emotions our feelings we also often use

miserable to describe the weather the

weather so when it’s like really cloudy

its rainy it’s really really ugly

outside

we often say the weather is miserable so

we can use this for emotions and to talk

about the weather the next one is

heartbroken heartbroken so literally if

you imagine a heart like you know like a

romantic relationship and your heart is

broken so we use this when we end

relationships to describe a sad feeling

we also use this word when something we

were very excited about like doesn’t

happen like we were really really like

emotionally invested we had a lot of

expectations emotional expectations for

something it didn’t happen so like

something we really wanted to get we

didn’t get we might describe that

feeling as being heartbroken heartbroken

finally burned out burned out burned out

is an interesting word or interesting

expression rather when we say I’m burned

out it means I’ve been doing too much

and now I have no energy so burned out

sometimes means sad like I did too many

things I was too busy I used too much

energy now I have no energy and I feel

bad that’s burned out I’m burned out or

he burned out so we can use this in a

couple different situations we might

also use this word to mean tired as well

so kind of depending a little bit on the

feeling burned out can mean sad or tired

I’m burned out okay questions Gertrudis

counter yes hi the word hi I talked

about the opposite here hi is not

related to emotions yes hi is related to

drugs so that’s completely different

that’s a different experience okay let’s

continue on other questions I don’t see

other questions so let’s go on to the

next one which is tired so I just said

tired burdened out is used for tired as

well so tired let’s talk about some

adjectives that mean tired first one is

exhausted the pronunciation here is

exhausted exhausted it’s not X ha stood

exhausted exhausted means very very

tired we use this at the end of a day

where we did a lot of physical activity

so I went hiking today I’m exhausted or

I ran a marathon today I’m exhausted

so please keep in mind exhausted is used

like when you are physically tired you

might also hear people use it when

they’re emotionally very tired like I’m

exhausted from thinking about something

you could use that as well next is beat

I’m beat beat is tired but it’s a more

casual word we use this word a lot at

the end of a work day so at the end of a

regular work day that kind of regular

tired feeling I’m beat I’m beat okay

okay uh okay Monday blue I’m drained you

could say I’m drained I’m drained out

but I’m drained I’m drained that’s

another good one so drained means I’m

drained of energy and drained of energy

I have no energy okay uh next one for

this is worn out I’m worn out so the

idea with this expression is like a

clothes for example when you wear like a

shirt a lot and it becomes kind of old

it may be the fit it becomes loose or

there’s a hole or something that

condition is worn out my shirt is worn

out we can describe our emotions with

worn out as well so we’re very tired and

we kind of feel like we’re falling apart

a little bit worn out we’re worn out oh

okay

on to the next one sleepy so you sleepy

specifically when we want to go to sleep

I’m sleepy so please don’t use like it’s

kind of strange to use sleepy when

you’re just mean like tired so use

sleepy when you want to talk about going

to bed specifically alright is it

possible to use shattered instead of

exhausted I guess shattered I personally

don’t use shattered to express like a

tired feeling I use shattered more for

sad feelings so if I feel sad and tired

at the same time like really

disappointed and tired I might say

shattered I guess depends on the person

• okay other I don’t see others so last

one here is out of it out of it so this

is a set phrase I’m out of it he’s out

of it today out of it means like out of

someone’s normal conditions so different

from the normal condition so usually

because they are tired so if I say I’m

out of it it’s like I can’t focus on my

work or I’m

I’m not doing a very good job because I

feel tired or because my mind is

somewhere else I’m out of it today

so I might say this if I’m just like on

one day I’m just not very focused or

it’s hard for me to do my job or to

study exactly as I always do okay that’s

the last one for tired let’s go quickly

then to the final group angry over here

and then we’ll talk about some idioms

and slang to finish today’s lesson so

angry let’s talk about angry and angry

first one is frustrated frustrated we

use frustrated when we are trying to do

something we’re trying to complete a

task we’re trying to finish something

and we are unable to do that thing we

continue to try and continue to try and

fail over and over and over again so

like when you have computer problems

like you always have computer problems

you try and try and try to fix your

computer and you cannot do it you can

describe that feeling with I’m

frustrated I’m frustrated another one

that’s very similar is exasperated I

chose this because I hope many of you

don’t know this word exasperated

exasperated is similar to frustrated but

you tend to use this one more with like

annoying situations so it’s like maybe

if you’re like having a fight like kids

are having a fight and you’re the parent

and you tell them like stop fighting

stop fighting stop fighting and they’re

very annoying but you don’t feel like

angry so much it’s just kind of annoying

and you can’t get them to stop

you might feel exasperated so it’s like

you’re trying and trying to like fix

this annoying thing and that feeling we

can describe with the word exasperated

exasperated okay some other ones

okay someone says I’m frustrated and

exasperated right now really oh why okay

let’s go to outraged outraged I am

outraged so may be helpful to break this

word down out and rage

so rage is a noun rage means a very high

level of anger rage so when we say

outraged it’s like you’re putting your

rage your high level of anger out so

someone who is outraged is probably very

noisy about their anger and they’re very

like what should I say they use very

strong words to describe it so someone

who is very very upset and is expressing

themselves like often loudly that’s

someone who is outraged so he was

outraged or she was outraged about

something that is called outrage as a

noun and outraged here as an adjective

next I saw this in the chat a few

minutes ago someone shared the word

irate irate irate means very angry very

angry but it tends to it’s a it differs

from outrage the difference here between

irate and outraged irate sounds a little

more formal outraged sounds more like

you’re you’re putting your anger out

like that as I said the out is kind of a

good hint here irate is someone who is

extremely angry but maybe learn maybe

they’re not putting their emotions out

but you can sense that they’re very very

angry so this word sounds a little bit

more where we can use it more often in

polite situations like you might say my

boss was irate when she learned the news

or like the CEO was irate about the

problems in the company so you might

hear that more in like professional or

business related situations irate final

annoyed annoyed so I used annoyed

earlier to talk about like little kids

fighting so we use annoyed for every day

small things that bother us it’s like

I’m so annoyed right now

so those kids are fighting or like you

know maybe my coworker keeps clicking

their pen that’s another common one

so I’m annoyed so please keep the

differences between like annoyed and

frustrated in mind so frustrated sounds

kind of angry you’re trying to fix

something and you can’t annoy it is like

there’s this small thing that’s kind of

bothering me right now I’m annoyed okay

that’s all the vocabulary words I wanted

to cover in today’s lesson we’ll take

one quick break what’s the difference

between exasperated and exacerbate

exasperated is an adjective 1 exacerbate

is a verb to exacerbate a situation

means to make a situation worse so

exasperated is quite different from this

ok one more quick break and then we’ll

go to just a few a few short expression

some idioms you can’t use your true dad

says can I say I’m feeling torn because

my mom passed away yeah you can say torn

but torn has usually used if you’re like

so imagine like carrying a piece of

paper imagine this is one piece of paper

I tear it in half it’s like you’re going

in two directions like you feel you

could go this way and you could go this

way torn is used when you’re trying to

make a decision about which way to go

like if you have two job offers you say

I’m torn so that might be a more common

way to say torn Monday my boss blew up

at me

my boss blew up to blow up means to

explode with anger anyway some quick

review of some things I didn’t show you

earlier a couple more of these I haven’t

shown there’s a expressions a sheet

about planning time so scheduling

related words if you need to brush up on

your vocabulary for planning check this

out for those of you interested in music

there’s this one I know it says singing

here but on the back there are

expressions for talking about music

sorry I know it’s really hard to see you

can check this out it’s all for free

just go download these to get it all

a couple do I have time for one more

okay sure shopping there’s another

here’s one more I’ll show you about

shopping for those of you interested in

shopping some expressions and verbs you

can use on the back so these expressions

maybe are good to use when you are

shopping as well alrighty let’s go to

the last part let’s go to the last part

for today’s lesson idioms slang e

expressions I forgot what I was just

gonna say oh yeah if you’re just joining

us today we’re talking about how to

express emotions if you have not already

please make sure to like and share the

video so other people can find today’s

lesson alrighty so last couple of

expressions I wanted to give you some

kind of fun expressions you can use

instead of using an adjective so these

will help you sound a bit more natural

first one to express embarrassment you

can use the expression in this case

let’s use the subject I I wouldn’t be

caught dead verb in the progressive form

or I wouldn’t be caught dead with person

so this means I wouldn’t I don’t want to

be seen even dead so that means even if

I died I don’t want someone to see me

doing this activity or even if I ever

dead I don’t want someone to see me with

this person

so this is an expression for shame for

like embarrass re not shame

embarrassment embarrassment so for

example like I wouldn’t be caught dead

with that person in public like there so

I like I really don’t like that person I

wouldn’t be caught dead

I don’t know doing some crazy activity I

wouldn’t be caught dead dancing in

public I don’t know so something that

causes you to feel embarrassment you can

express that here I in this case I

wouldn’t be caught dead verb in the ing

form or with a person that’s a good one

for embarrassment this one too close to

home too close to home this has nothing

to do with your house it has nothing to

do with the placement of your house when

we say too close too

home like for example what you said that

that thing you just said that’s too

close to home it means that statement is

so real to me it makes me uncomfortable

so you can use this when you talk about

like movies Media TV shows some

conversation topic or a discussion topic

that is very very true for you and it

makes you feel uneasy like a little

uncomfortable like ah did you see that

episode of the TV show last night like

that was too close to home so something

that makes you feel uncomfortable

because it’s very realistic too close to

home okay Leah I wouldn’t be caught dead

dancing around in my apartment so that

does that mean you don’t want to do it

I’ll ask you later okay next is to get

something out of your system and to get

something off your chest these are quite

similar so I want to talk about them

together again to get something out of

your system and to get something off

your chest

first to get something out of your

system so your system here means your

body or your mind to get something out

of your system we use this when we need

to let go to like to release energy like

like a little kid with a lot of energy

maybe they ate a lot of sugar or

something I don’t know so like they’re

running around and the parents might say

let him get it out of his system meaning

let him release what’s in his body like

let him get that energy out so we use

this for energy a lot or we use this for

stuff we’re thinking about - I need to

get this out of my system so like energy

or maybe when you feel sad maybe you go

jogging like to get something get bad

feelings out of your system I need to

get it out of my system when you use

this expression to get something off

your chest or to get something off of

your chest you might also hear it means

to say something you have been thinking

about for a long time so this expression

we don’t really use for like energy

we don’t really talk about releasing

energy we talk about releasing our

thoughts with this we talk about

releasing our thoughts with this so you

might start a deep conversation with I

need to get something off my chest chest

here is kind of like your heart really

so you need to express something from

your heart okay finally no hard feelings

no hard feelings we use this at like the

end of an uncomfortable situation so

maybe you have to decline an offer or

you have to reject something or someone

asks you on a date or something like

that and you say no so it’s kind of an

uncomfortable situation but you want to

make sure the relationship is still okay

you can say no hard feelings

hard here means bad no bad feelings so

like you say no thank you but no hard

feelings okay so that means I don’t want

there to be bad feelings between us no

hard feelings

yeah okay I’m late as usual so let’s

finish up there so these are I think

some interesting and useful idioms you

can use I guess I did mostly idioms I

thought I would include some slang but

alas will end there for today so I hope

that this was helpful for you I hope you

found some new adjectives that you can

use and one final parting points please

remember your IDI adjectives and ing

ending adjectives your ing like that’s

annoying is used for a thing outside you

annoy Edie refers to your own emotions
