hi everybody welcome back to ask Alicia

the weekly series where you ask me

questions and I answer them

maybe first question comes from

[Music]

Inderjeet singh high energy energy says

how do we use say and said in English

okay we use say and said for reports of

speech in English when we use say we're

often using it to talk about something

that a person often says when we use

said we're using it to report something

that was in the past so just a simple

neutral report of speech in the past

let's look at some examples my boss said

I did a great job my boss said you did a

great job my parents say I'm a good

student okay so you'll notice in these

example sentences especially the first

two there's a very small difference

there like my boss said I did a good job

and my boss said comma quotation marks

you did a good job when you're reporting

speech directly as in the second example

sentence you can use those quotation

marks that's what I'm doing with my

fingers here like this is like the open

marking this is the closed mark to make

a quote so when you're doing that we can

use said to report past tense so this is

something that a boss in this case said

in the past if I'm not being direct

meaning if I'm not sharing exactly the

thing someone said I can use a pattern

like the first example sentence which

was my boss said I did a great job so

the boss didn't say I did a great job

the speaker wants to communicate that

the boss said that he or she the speaker

I did a great job so the first example

is very common way of reporting this

speech indirectly if you want to

directly report speech you can use a

pattern like the second example the

third example sentence my

parents say I'm a good student is an

example of something where we would use

the present form of the verb the present

tense form of the verb so my parents say

I'm a good student so lots of learners

ask like why don't we use said my

parents said I'm a good student we use

present tense for things that are

regular so for things that happen like

maybe every week for example or every

month like a regular like repeating

action so in this case the speaker's

parents say something so that means this

is a regular thing they say my parents

say I'm a good student this is a regular

like thing that they comment about if

it's past tense my parents said I'm a

good student

it sounds like perhaps it was just one

time or maybe when the speaker was a

child this was something that was

regularly said so like they want to

communicate more like a past thing like

one time it's over it's done if we want

to communicate something like present

happening now perhaps regularly we can

use the present form my parents say

another example of this would be in like

business for example the CEO says the

company is doing well so here the CEO

says is in present tense and the kind of

reported information is the company is

doing well so the use of the present

tense here shows us that this is

something the CEO regularly says this is

a regular comment we know this because

it's in present tense some other ways

that we use this are in like thank you

so in more formal situations like I want

to say thank you we would use it in that

way or I want to say goodbye so we kind

of soften those expressions thank you or

goodbye with I want to say or I'd like

to say so if you're giving like a formal

speech for example to you might begin it

by saying may I say a few words so again

this is just a simple report of speech a

simple neutral way of expressing

communication using say in present tense

say or says or

using said for past tense so I hope that

this helps you understand how to use say

and said in English thanks very much for

the question okay let's move on to your

next question next question comes from

mohamed abdel hakim hi mohamed mohamed

says what is the correct use of looking

forward to is it right to say i look

forward to hearing from you or i am

looking forward to hearing from you

yep both are correct you can use both of

these they're both fine they communicate

the same thing they have the same level

of formality it's just the speaker's

preference you can choose whatever you

prefer so like I look forward to seeing

you and I'm looking forward to seeing

you they're both correct they're both

fine we look forward to having dinner

with you and we're looking forward to

having dinner with you they mean the

same thing I would say perhaps in some

less formal situations we drop the I or

the we in the ing pattern so like

instead of saying I'm looking forward to

we might just say looking forward to so

we sometimes do that when we use the ing

pattern so but to answer your question

they are both correct you can feel free

to choose whichever you prefer I hope

that that helps you thanks for the

question okay

let's move on to your next question next

question comes from

Arjun Singh heigen Arjun Arjun says hi

Alicia can you please tell me the

difference between expert and perfect

okay

expert means having a lot of experience

with something to become an expert you

gain skills so you get like lots of

experience you study things and you

gradually like level up to become an

expert for example she's an expert

programmer or their expert negotiators

so that means that they are very good at

something because they've practiced a

lot they've gained experience and

they've liked to work their way up

through many skill levels to become

experts at something the word perfect

however means something that is flawless

there's no problems with it it's like

pure it's Genya

it's exactly as it should be so for

example the weather today is perfect our

new software is perfect so we use

perfect to mean things that don't have

problems at all so we might use the word

perfect to refer to one specific action

like a trick in sports or maybe like a

specific task that someone can do

perfectly but we don't really use the

word perfect to talk about the person

doing it because that implies that like

they're flawless which is impossible

because we're all humans and we're not

perfect so in some expert refers to

gaining skills to get something so we

use that to talk about people and their

jobs

perfect refers to something that is

flawless so often it's kind of natural

or just something that doesn't require

any skills but it's just great and

doesn't have any issues so I hope that

this helps you understand the difference

between these two words thanks very much

for the question let's move on to your

next question next question comes from

Demi Wong hi Demi Wong Demi Long says hi

Alicia what is the difference between

rise and raise and how do we use them

yeah so the difference here is just in

grammatical function raise takes a

direct object rise does not take a

direct object both verbs just mean to go

up so for example raise your hand so

your hand is the direct object of raise

in that example sentence or he raised

the cup above his head so in that

sentence the object of the verb raised

is the cup so to move the cup above his

head to raise a cup in contrast the verb

rise does not take a direct object for

example the Sun rises every morning and

she rose early there's no direct object

in either of those so when you have a

direct object you can use raise when you

don't have a direct object you can use

rise I hope that this helps you

understand the difference thanks very

much for the question ok let's move on

to your next question next question

comes from heaven Silva hi Harrison

Everson says when should I use Ben

viii or below is there any difference

between them um there's not really a

difference in meaning no it's just

formality we would use beneath in more

formal situations or perhaps like when

we're writing poetry beneath is actually

not so commonly used in everyday

American English speech anyway we most

commonly use the word under actually so

there are quite a few different words

that we can use to have the same meaning

we have beneath and below and under and

underneath but of these the most common

is under so let's take a look at a few

sentences that use these my bag is

beneath the desk my bag is below the

desk my bag is under the desk okay so

from these the most commonly used

sentence would be my bag is under the

desk the next most common would be my

bag is below and the least common here

would be my bag is beneath the desk so

we don't really use it so much to talk

about positioning we use under more

commonly to talk about positioning so

beneath and below share the meaning of

being under something though they're not

as common as under so I hope that this

helps you understand the differences

between these words thanks very much for

the question okay that's everything that

大家好，欢迎回来向 Alicia 提问

每周系列，您问我

问题，我回答他们

也许第一个问题来自

[音乐]

Inderjeet singh 高能能量说

我们如何用英语说和说

好吧我们用说和说用于

英语演讲的报告当我们使用说时我们

经常用它来谈论

一个人经常说的事情当我们使用

说我们时 用它来报告

过去的事情 所以只是一个简单的

中性报告过去的演讲

让我们看一些例子 我的老板说

我做得很好 我的老板说你做得

很好 我的父母说我是 好

学生，好吧，所以你会注意到这些

例句，尤其是前

两个句子，差别很小

，就像我的老板说我做得很好

，我的老板说逗号引号

当你直接报告演讲时你做得很好

一个 s 在第二个

例句中，您可以使用那些

引号，这就是我在这里用手指做的事情，

就像打开标记一样，

这是引用的闭合标记，

所以当您这样做时，我们可以

使用 said to 报告过去时，所以这是

在这种情况下的老板

过去说过的话

说我做得很好

所以老板没有说我做得

很好 演讲者想要

交流 老板说他或她 演讲者

我做得很好 所以第一个例子

是报道这个演讲的非常常见的方式

间接如果你想

直接报告演讲，你可以使用

像第二个例子这样的模式

第三个例句我

父母说我是一个好学生是一个

例子，我们会使用

动词的现在

时形式 所以我父母说我的动词

'一个好学生，所以很多学习者

问我们为什么不使用说我的

父母说我是一个好学生，我们使用

现在时

表示定期发生的事情，

例如每周或

每月发生的事情，例如 经常喜欢重复的

动作，所以在这种情况下，说话者的

父母说了些什么，这意味着这

是他们说的经常的

话 我是个

好学生

听起来可能只是一次

想要传达现在正在

发生的事情，也许经常我们可以

使用

现在的形式 esent 时态和

报告的信息类型是公司

做得很好所以这里使用现在

时向我们表明这

是 CEO 经常说的这

是常规评论我们知道这一点因为

它是现在时态

使用它就像谢谢，

所以在更正式的情况下，比如我

想说谢谢，我们会以这种方式使用它，

或者我想说再见，所以我们

会软化这些表达谢谢或

再见，我想说，或者我 'd like

to say so if you're give like a正式

演讲，例如，你可以

先说我可以说几句话，所以

这只是一个简单的演讲报告，一种

简单的中性

表达方式 现在时

说或说或

用说表示过去时，所以我希望

这可以帮助你理解如何

用英语说和说非常感谢

这个问题好吧让我们继续你的

下一个问题下一个问题来自

mohamed abdel hakim hi m ohamed mohamed

说期待的正确用法

是说我

期待收到您的来信或我

期待收到您的

来信是正确的，您可以使用这两种方式

他们都很好，他们可以交流

相同的东西 他们有相同

的形式 只是演讲者的

偏好 你可以选择任何你

喜欢的东西 所以我期待见到

你 我期待见到

你 他们都是正确的 他们都

很好 我们期待 期待与您共进晚餐

，我们期待

与您共进晚餐 他们的意思是

一样的

期待

我们可能只是说期待，所以

我们有时会在使用 ing

模式时这样做，但是要回答您的问题，

它们都是正确的，您可以

随意选择您喜欢的任何一个我希望

这可以帮助您感谢 t 他的

问题 好吧

让我们继续你的下一个问题 下一个

问题来自

Arjun Singh heigen Arjun Arjun 说你好

Alicia 你能告诉我

专家和完美专家之间的区别

意味着有很多

经验成为专家你

获得技能 因此，您会获得很多

经验，并且您会

逐渐喜欢升级为

专家，例如，她是专家

程序员或他们的专家谈判者

，这意味着他们非常擅长

某事，因为他们已经练习了

很多 积累了经验，

他们喜欢

通过许多技能水平提升，成为

专家，完美这个词

意味着完美无瑕的东西，

没有问题，就像纯粹一样，

它是 Genya

，完全符合它应该的样子，

例如 今天的天气很完美 我们的

新软件很完美，所以我们用

完美来表示完全没有

问题的事物，所以我们可能会使用完美这个词

指一个特定的动作，

比如运动中的技巧，或者可能

是某人可以完美完成的特定任务，

但我们并没有真正使用

完美这个词来谈论

做这件事的人，因为这意味着就像

他们完美无瑕一样 不可能，

因为我们都是人类，而且我们并不

完美，所以在某些专家中指的是

获得获得某物的技能，所以我们

用它来谈论人和他们的

工作

不需要

任何技能但它很棒而且

没有任何问题所以我希望

这可以帮助你理解

这两个词之间的区别非常

感谢这个问题让我们继续你的

下一个问题下一个问题来自

Demi Wong 嗨 Demi Wong Demi Long 说，嗨

Alicia 不带

直接宾语 两个动词都只表示

向上，例如举起你的手，所以

你的手是那个例句中举起的直接宾语，

或者他

把杯子举过头顶，所以在那个

句子中动词的宾语举起

是杯子，所以将杯子移到

头顶举起杯子，相比之下，动词

上升不带直接宾语，

例如太阳每天早上升起，

她早起，这两个都没有直接宾语

，所以当你有一个

当你没有直接宾语时你可以使用 raise

直接宾语 你可以使用

rise 我希望这能帮助你

理解不同之处

非常感谢这个问题 好的 让我们

继续你的下一个问题 下一个问题

来自天堂 席尔瓦你好哈里森

埃弗森说我什么时候应该使用 Ben

viii 或更低

，它们之间有什么区别，嗯，

在含义上并没有真正的区别，不，这只是

我们在更

正式的情况下使用的形式，或者可能就像

我们在

在日常

美国英语演讲中写诗实际上并不常用，我们

最常使用这个词实际上所以

有很多不同的

词我们可以使用

我们在下面和下面和下面和

下面的相同含义但是 其中最常见的

是under 所以让我们看几个

使用这些的句子

my bag is below

the desk 我的包在桌子下面 我的包在桌子下面 好吧，

从这些中最常用的

句子是 my bag 在

桌子下面下一个最常见的是我的

包在下面，最不常见

的是我的包在桌子下面所以

我们并没有真正用它来

谈论定位我们更常使用下面

来谈论定位 所以

下面和下面分享了在某物之下的含义，

尽管它们

不像下面那么常见，所以我希望这能

帮助你理解

这些词之间的区别非常感谢你
