hi everybody welcome back to ask Alicia

the weekly series where you ask me

questions and I answer them maybe first

question this week comes from Nura you

ADAAA

I hope I said that right hide Nura do

yaja Nura do yaja says what's the

difference between home and house okay a

home is a place where you live a home

can be an apartment building it can be a

tent it can be a boat it can be a

trailer it can be any place where you

live the place where you maybe come back

to at the end of every day is the place

that you call your home a house on the

other hand is a type of building a house

is not attached to anything else a house

is standing by itself it's alone it's

one unit usually for one family so a

house can be a home but a home does not

necessarily have to be a house so this

for example we cannot call a house if we

returned here though we could say this

is my home or this is where I live if

you wanted to tell your friend about

your building but we would not say this

is my house so when we want to talk

about the place where we live we can say

this is my home but we only use house if

it's specifically this type of building

if it's specifically a stand-alone

building there is one other use of the

word house that's much less common

unless you watch like really really big

epic stories so for example Game of

Thrones has a really good example of

this House Stark for example or house

plus last name refers to all the family

members that have that last name and

that means all the family members living

or dead so that can mean the ancestors

of that family

so in House Stark for example that means

all of the family members in the stark

family so alive dead whatever everybody

so this use of house is

quite uncommon as I said it may be more

commonly used in like fantasy stories

Game of Thrones is a great example of

this but we don't use this in everyday

English today so I hope that this helps

your understanding of the differences

between home and house thanks very much

for the question ok let's move on to

your next question

next question comes from Xena hi Xena

Xena says what is the difference between

to fill in and to fill out ok if you're

talking about a form like paperwork an

application for example then there is no

difference between to fill in and to

fill out for example please fill in this

form and please fill out this form they

mean exactly the same thing I would say

perhaps in American English fill in is

less common than fill out I think we use

fill out more commonly in American

English fill in might be a little more

commonly used in British English if

however you are not talking about an

application form or some other type of

form there are different meanings for

fill in and fill out so let's look at

fill in first to fill in for someone

means to act as a substitute for someone

so if we can imagine we're at a

rehearsal for a play for example you

might say I filled in for a dancer who

was injured or we need someone to fill

in for the lead role in today's

rehearsal to fill in for someone means

to act as a substitute for someone to

fill in so this use is quite different

from the meaning of writing something on

a form now then let's compare this or

let's contrast this rather with fill out

to fill out means to get larger usually

as a person in terms of like your weight

gain so to fill out means your body or

your face becomes larger so this can be

used in positive and in negative

situations for example he was very sick

last year but he's recovering now and

his face has filled out nicely or you've

filled out a lot since the last time I

saw you so again this use of fill out is

quite different from the meaning of fill

out that's relating to application forms

and other types of writing so I hope

that this answer helps you understand

the differences between fill out and

fill in thanks very much for sending

this question ok let's move on to your

next question next question comes from

Eddie hi Eddie Eddie says hey Alicia I

am French and I have been learning

English for a while when should I use do

not and when should I use

don't thanks ok basically do not sounds

more stiff and more formal than don't in

everyday speech we use don't don't do

this don't do that we use do not in more

formal situations like when we're giving

a speech for example or perhaps when

we're writing an academic paper when you

want to sound more formal more polite

use do not you'll also see do not use

for official rules for example do not

throw away trash here or do not smoke if

you use do not in everyday conversation

it might sound kind of dramatic or maybe

even mysterious so for example saying do

not be afraid sounds kind of mysterious

and dramatic but if we say don't be

afraid it sounds a little bit more

friendly so if you want to sound

friendly and normal please use the

reduced form if you want to sound

dramatic or if you need to sound more

formal please use do not in most cases

this means you should choose don't so I

hope that this answer helps you thanks

very much for the question ok let's move

on to your next question next question

comes from Sergio hi Sergio Sergio says

what's the difference between others and

another's ok first let's take a quick

moment to review a past episode of ask

Alicia where I talk

about a very similar question I think

it's important for review what's the

difference between others the others and

another how do I use in the correct

situation yeah this is tough ok let's

begin by introducing a sample situation

look at this picture this is my sister

this is my other sister the others are

my parents now let's look at another

picture so here I introduced other with

my other sister in the second sentence

here I said this is my sister third

sentence was this is my other sister so

I introduced sister in the first

sentence other than refers to like the

addition to something that's already

known so it's kind of like there's a

very close relationship between those

two sentences this is my sister this is

my other sister shows that there's like

an addition to the thing I just said

then when I say the other the other

refers to like the remaining known

things so if I'm looking at this picture

and I know that there are four people in

the picture and two people are the

speakers sisters there are two people

remaining and I say the other people

that means the remaining people in the

picture that I don't yet know so the

other people in the picture are my

parents then I say let's look at another

picture

so another refers to an addition or

something extra from outside the

existing situation

okay so let's expand on this by looking

at your question words others and

another's first of all another's is not

a word so don't practice that word don't

use that word don't think about it

another is okay but another's is not a

word so please don't worry about that

let's focus on the word others in this

example that I just showed you

I used the expression the others or the

other people I said the other people in

the picture are my parents or the others

are my parents so the others refers to

people in a situation remaining people

in a city

that is known if you want to use others

however without that article we need to

create slightly different situations for

example many people in the office want

different snacks others are happy with

the snacks we have now so others in that

sentence in the second sentence matches

with many people the subject of the

first sentence so the subject of the

first sentence was many people in the

office this is one group of people in

the office others then refers to people

of a different group that are inside the

same office so many people in the office

have opinion a others in this case the

plural because there's more than one

person have opinion B so we're matching

others plural to many people which is

referring to a number of people so we

can use others in this way to talk about

a different group within like the same

category or in this case the same

building or the same office so others

can be used in this way if you like you

could say other people in the office are

happy with the snacks we have now that's

fine as well but others is just a little

bit shorter than other people so it

might be more efficient to use so I hope

that this helps your understanding of

the differences between other others and

another thanks very much for the

question ok let's move on to your next

question next question comes from

Raymond hi Raymond Raymond said when and

how do we use with before or after a

sentence ok first let's talk about using

with at the end of a sentence so many

people who are very strict about English

grammar think that it's incorrect or

it's not proper to end a sentence with

the word with which is a preposition so

let's look at an example who are you

going to the beach with this sentence is

in strict grammar rules not considered

correct by many people because it ends

with the preposition with the perfectly

technically

correct version of this sentence would

be with whom are you going to the beach

so although in this sentence is

grammatically correct it actually sounds

pretentious to some people

pretentious means something that sounds

more important or more valuable or

grander than it actually is so you might

sound a little bit pretentious if you

use this style of speaking even though

yes it is grammatically correct in

everyday speech most people don't

actually use this pattern this with whom

pattern in everyday speech we tend to

use with a lot at the end of a sentence

as in the original example so maybe

you've noticed that my second example

sentence here begins with with so with

whom are you going to the beach this is

a sentence that you would use if you

need to be extremely grammatically

correct but as I've said in most cases

in at least modern American English we

don't use this style of speaking this is

an example of one way to use with in

this starting position we can use it

along with what or with whom for example

with what camera are you going to take

photos or with whom are you going to

dinner so these sentences again although

grammatically correct and beginning with

with sound a bit unnatural in most cases

in everyday American English we actually

sound a little more natural if we place

that preposition at the end of the

sentence as in what camera are you going

to take photos with or who are you going

to dinner with so these are a couple of

examples of how you can use with at the

beginning and at the end of a sentence

I hope that this helps answer your

question thanks very much for sending it

along ok let's move on to your next

question next question comes from Colby

John Michael by John Coby John says hi

which of these two sentences is correct

waiting in the lobby and waiting at the

lobby ok in a sentence like waiting in

the lobby as in I'm waiting in the lobby

in the lobby is correct at the lobby

while used occasionally is not used

anywhere near as often as in the lobby

please be careful though if you're

talking about a specific location inside

the lobby

you will use at before the lobby and

then you'll follow that with the

specific noun so for example I'm waiting

at the lobby desk or I'm waiting at the

lobby bar or I'm waiting at the lobby

entrance in those cases we're talking

about a specific location inside the

lobby so desk bar or entrance and we use

at for that to talk about the general

area of a lobby however we use in I'm

waiting in the lobby so I hope that this

helps answer your question thanks very

much

大家好，欢迎回来向 Alicia 提问

每周系列，你问我

问题，我回答他们也许

本周的第一个问题来自 Nura 你

ADAAA

我希望我说对了 hide Nura do

yaja Nura do yaja 说

家和房子有什么区别 好吧

家是你住的地方 家

可以是公寓楼 可以是

帐篷 可以是船 可以是

拖车 它可以是您

居住的任何地方 您可能

在每天结束时回到的地方

是您称之为家的地方 另一方面 房子

是一种建筑类型

房子不附属于任何东西 否则房子

是独立的，它是单独的，

通常是一个家庭的一个单元，所以

房子可以是一个家，但一个家

不一定必须是一个房子，所以

例如，如果我们回到这里，我们就不能称之为房子

，尽管我们可以 说这

是 我的家或者这就是我住的地方如果

你想告诉你的朋友关于

你的建筑但我们不会说这

是我的房子所以当我们想

谈论我们住的地方时我们可以说

这是我的家但我们只使用 房子 如果

它特别是这种类型的建筑物

如果它特别是一栋独立的

建筑物 房子这个词还有另一种用法，

除非你像真正的大型

史诗故事那样观看，否则它的使用要少得多，例如

权力的游戏有一个很好的例子

例如，这个史塔克家族或家族

加姓氏是

指具有该姓氏的所有家庭成员，

这意味着所有活着或死去的家庭成员，

因此可以表示

该家族的祖先，

例如，在史塔克家族中，这意味着

所有 史塔克家族的家庭成员

如此活着，不管每个人都死了

所以这种房子的使用

很罕见，正如我所说，它可能更

常用于类似幻想故事

权力的游戏就是一个很好的例子

，但我们 今天不要在日常英语中使用这个，

所以我希望这有助于

你理解

家庭和家庭之间的差异非常

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 Xena 你好 Xena

Xena 说什么是

填写和填写之间的区别 好吧，如果您

谈论的是诸如文书工作之类的

表格，例如申请，那么

填写和填写之间没有区别

，例如请填写此

表格并请填写此表格 他们的

意思完全一样 我会说

也许在美式英语中填写

比填写少我认为我们

在美式

英语中更常用填写

关于

申请表或其他类型的

表格，填写和填写有不同的含义，

所以让我们

先看看填写填写某人的

意思是充当某些人的替代品

因此，如果我们可以想象我们正在

排练一场戏剧，例如，您

可能会说我为受伤的舞者

填补了空缺，或者我们需要有人填补

今天的彩排中的主角，

以填补某人的

意思 作为某人填写的替代品

，因此这种用法与现在

在表格上写一些东西的含义完全不同，

然后让我们比较一下，或者

让我们对比一下，而不是用填写

来填写通常

作为一个人变得更大的意思 喜欢你的

体重增加所以填写意味着你的身体或

你的脸变得更大，所以这可以

用于积极和消极的

情况，例如他去年病得很重

，但他现在正在恢复，

他的脸已经很好地填满了

自从我上次见到你以来已经填写了很多

所以再次填写的这种用法

与与申请表

和其他类型的写作有关的填写的含义有很大不同所以我

希望这个答案可以帮助你

理解 di 填写和填写之间的差异

非常感谢您发送

此问题 好的，让我们继续您的

下一个问题 下一个问题来自

Eddie 嗨 Eddie Eddie 说嘿 Alicia

我是法国人，我学习

英语已经有一段时间了，我应该什么时候使用 do

不，我应该什么时候使用

不要谢谢 好的 基本上不要听起来

比不要在

我们使用的日常演讲中更僵硬和更正式 不

要这样做 不要这样做 我们使用 不要在更

正式的情况下 例如，当我们

发表演讲时，或者当

我们写学术论文时，当你

想要听起来更正式更礼貌时

使用 do not you'll also see do not use

for official rules 例如，不要

扔垃圾 在这里或不吸烟，如果

你在日常对话中使用 do not，

它可能听起来有点戏剧性

甚至神秘，例如说

不要害怕听起来有点神秘

和戏剧性，但如果我们说不要

害怕，这听起来有点 更

友好一点，所以如果你愿意 nt 听起来

友好和正常，

如果你想听起来很

戏剧化，或者如果你需要听起来更

正式，请使用简化形式，请在大多数情况下使用 do not，

这意味着你应该选择 don't，所以我

希望这个答案对你有帮助，

非常感谢 问题很多 好的，让我们

继续你的下一个问题 下一个问题

来自 Sergio 嗨 Sergio Sergio 说

别人和另一个人的区别是什么

好的 首先让我们

花点时间回顾过去的一集 问

艾丽西亚我在哪里

谈论一个非常相似的 问题我

认为重要的是要查看

其他人之间的区别和其他人之间的区别

我如何在正确的

情况下使用是的，这很难确定让我们

首先介绍一个示例情况

看看这张照片这是我的妹妹

这是我的另一个妹妹 其他人是

我的父母现在让我们看另一

张照片所以在这里我介绍了其他与

我的另一个姐姐在第二句话

这里我说这是我姐姐第三

句话是我 s my other Sister 所以

我在第一句话中介绍了姐姐，

而不是指喜欢对

已知事物的补充，

所以

这两个句子之间的关系非常密切，

这是我的姐姐，这是

我的另一个姐姐，表明有 就像

我刚才所说的东西的补充，

然后当我说另一个时，另一个

指的是像剩下的已知

事物，所以如果我在看这张照片

，我知道照片中有四

个人，两个人是

发言者 姐妹们 剩下两个

人 我说其他

人 那是指

照片中剩下的我还不认识的

人 所以照片中的其他人是我的

父母 然后我说让我们看看另一

张照片

所以另一张指的是一个 现有情况

之外的附加或额外的东西

好的，所以让我们通过

查看你的问题词来扩展这一点

hat word 不要

使用那个词 不要考虑它

another 可以，但 another's 不是一个

词，所以请不要担心，

让我们专注于这个

例子中的其他词，我刚刚向你展示了

我使用了这个表达 其他人或

其他人 我说图片中的其他人

是我的父母或其他人

是我的父母 所以其他人是指

处于某种情况的人 留

在一个已知的城市

中的人 如果你想使用其他人

但是没有那篇文章我们 需要

创造稍微不同的情况

例如办公室里的很多人想要

不同的零食 其他人

对我们现在的零食很满意 所以

第二句中的那句话中的其他人

与许多人匹配

第一句的主语 所以第一句的主语

句子是办公室里有很多人

这是办公室里的一组

人其他然后是指在同一个办公室

内的不同组的

人所以办公室里的很多人

都有意见 在这种情况下是

复数，因为不止一个

人有意见 B，所以我们将

others 的复数与许多人相匹配，这

指的是许多人，所以我们

可以以这种方式使用 others 来

谈论不同的群体，比如 同一

类别或在这种情况下同一

建筑物或同一办公室，因此

如果您愿意，可以以这种方式使用

其他人您可以说办公室中的其他人

对我们现在拥有的零食感到满意，这也

很好，但其他人只是一点点

比其他人短一点，因此使用起来

可能更有效，所以我

希望这有助于您了解

其他人之间的差异，

非常感谢您提出的

问题，好的，让我们继续您的下一个

问题，下一个问题来自

Raymond，您好 Raymond Raymond 说

我们什么时候在句前或句后使用 with

不正确，或者用介词来结束句子

是不合适的，所以

让我们看一个例子，你

要去海滩用这个句子

是严格的语法规则

，很多人认为它不正确，因为它

以介词结尾 这句话在技术上完全

正确的版本将

是你和谁一起去海滩

所以虽然这句话在

语法上是正确的，但它实际上

对某些人来说是

自命不凡的意思是听起来

比实际更重要或更有价值或更宏伟的东西 所以

如果你

使用这种说话风格，你可能听起来有点自命不凡，即使

是的，它在

日常演讲中语法正确 大多数人实际上并没有

使用这种模式 this 与 who

模式在日常演讲中我们经常

使用 句子的结尾和

原始示例一样，所以也许

你已经注意到我的第二个

例句以 so 和

w 开头 hom you going to the beach 这是

一个句子，如果你

需要在语法上非常

正确，你会使用它，但正如我在大多数情况

下至少在现代美式英语中所说的那样，我们

不使用这种说话方式这是

一个 在此起始位置使用 with 的一种方式示例，

我们可以将其

与什么或与谁一起使用，例如

，您将使用什么相机

拍照或与谁

共进晚餐，因此这些句子再次出现，尽管

语法正确并以

在大多数情况下听起来有点不自然，

在日常美式英语中，

如果我们

把介词放在句子的末尾，

比如你要和什么相机

拍照，或者你要和谁

共进晚餐，实际上听起来会更自然一些 这些是

您如何在句子开头和结尾使用 with 的几个示例

我希望这有助于回答您的

问题 非常感谢您发送

它 好的让我们继续您的下一个

qu estion 下一个问题来自 Colby

John Michael by John Coby John 说，嗨

，这两个句子中哪一个是正确

的 大堂在大堂是正确的，

但偶尔使用 不会

像在大堂那样经常在任何地方使用

请小心，但如果您

谈论的是大堂内的特定位置

，

您将在大堂之前使用，

然后您会遵循 使用

特定名词，例如，我

在大堂柜台等候，或者我在

大堂酒吧等候，或者我在大堂入口处等候，

在这些情况下，我们谈论的

是大堂内的特定位置，

所以办公桌吧 或入口处，我们用

at 来谈论大厅的一般

区域，但我们用在我

在大厅等候，所以我希望这

有助于回答您的问题，非常感谢
