the video now

and then I'm going to start today's

lesson today I'm going to start by

talking about appearance related

expressions so I'm going to cover some

very very basic phrases and that's like

I'm gonna cover some basic phrases you

can use to express people's appearance

that means the way a person looks I'm

going to talk about the patterns we use

to talk about like hair or eye color and

to talk about the adjectives we use

relating to of the body so let's begin

and of course throughout this please

feel free to send your own example

sentences in the chat that would be

great to include some of your examples

on the board as well so let's get

started first appearance appearance

related expressions so I'm going to

focus on using half and has and is and

are so we're going to make some very

basic sentences to talk about people's

appearance first

if our subject is I you we or they will

use this pattern to make it negative

will use don't this is the reduced form

of do not and then we'll use have plus a

noun phrase so for me for an example of

this I would say I I am the subject I

have brown hair so a very simple

expression to describe my appearance

here's my subject I have so this is a

positive sentence and my noun phrase

here is brown hair I have brown hair to

make it negative I could say something

like I don't have blonde hair so this is

how we make this basic appearance

related statement with a noun phrase so

no adjectives used here if however your

subject is he or she you probably won't

use it to describe a person if you want

to describe an animal maybe you could

use it but for talking about people will

use he or she and in this sentence if

you want to make it negative we need to

use doesn't doesn't he or she doesn't

Plus have plus known phrase so in this

case for example let's see I could say

control desk today he doesn't have to

make a negative he doesn't have black

hair he doesn't have black hair so again

we're using a noun phrase I've made this

negative with doesn't doesn't if however

so I've made this into a negative form

have made this negative pattern here if

however your sentence is positive please

remember that instead of have we need to

use has so for a positive sentence

meaning no doesn't we need to use has

he has premiere or she has blonde hair

so some examples are in here ah

why not hairs why not hairs when we're

talking someone asked that question

pasta Kim asked that question in the

YouTube chat we use a hair hair notice

to talk about all of this on our head we

use hair alone to refer to all of this

we use hairs when we see a few pieces

somewhere like oh there are some hairs

on the floor over there where did those

come from when you're talking about all

the hair on your head we use hair not

hairs okay example is from one of our

members probably no hello she doesn't

have brown hair very nice example

sentence some of you are saying things

not related to appearance good so she

doesn't have money is correct

please remember today we're focusing on

appearance so how does a person look

that's what we want to practice today to

send your example sentences in high noon

says she has an oval face yeah good so

you can talk about face shape face shape

with this so an oval face are like a

square face good or a round face good

Andrew says he doesn't have red eyes but

he has blue eyes okay good

Dennis says he doesn't have he doesn't

have long ears make sure when you use a

negative he doesn't have he doesn't have

so when you make a negative sentence the

verb following does not change when you

make a positive sentence has needs to

change

hmm okay good good good good she has

blue eyes as Silva Alexandra on Facebook

great great Antonio says she has a mean

look oh interesting okay very nice Kyra

says she has brown skin very nice okay

great great examples everyone so we can

talk about eye color skin color hair

color and so on with a very simple

sentence

and this is actually it scuse me this is

actually how native speakers do it it

does not need to be complicated so let's

go to the second part here the second

part is using this pattern using is and

are plus an adjective so remember an

adjective is a word that we use to

describe a noun we use it to give more

information about a noun so we can use

three different patterns when we want to

talk about ourselves use this pattern I

am NOT plus adjective so for example I

am NOT tall I am not tell if I write it

down here you can't see ya so for

example I am NOT tall so notice in this

sentence my adjectives here is tall when

you choose an adjective make sure it's

an appearance related adjective so don't

choose something that's related to like

their work necessarily make sure it's

something that expresses their

appearance something that expresses

their appearance so I am NOT tall this

is a good one that's true actually

of course to make this sentence positive

simply remove not I am tall I am tall

and to make this even more natural

reduce I am - I'm I'm I'm not tall or

I'm tall and so on so this is the

pattern we use when you're talking about

yourself this is an eye subjective type

however excuse me if your subject is you

we or they so you want to talk about

your friend or you want to talk about

your group or if you want to talk about

a group of people outside you follow

this pattern you are to make it negative

not and an adjective again I haven't

seen any examples there yet so I'll make

my own sentence so for example mmm I

want to talk about my friend

I might say you are short you are short

so if I want to express something like

that in a positive sentence I would use

u & R so R is used for these three

subjects we are short maybe you and your

friend are short together you want to

express that or they are short as well

to some good examples are coming in I am

short okay someone says I'm not sexy

okay I am not fat okay I am NOT tall

very nice ones okay ah do you need hot

tea yes I've been drinking lots of hot

tea my voice is a little out of it you

are slim another good one slim slim very

nice examples finally then Leah says I'm

not sure I'm vertically challenged next

one Leah let's go to the last pattern

for this one he or she if he or she is

your subject you want to talk about a

friend or a family member you could say

he or she and here the verb is is he is

or she is adjective he is tall she is

pretty he is handsome and so on to make

it negative use not so he is not

handsome or she is not pretty and so on

my friend is not tall a great example

hamza on youtube so in this i've used i

you we they he she you can also express

a person in this position and use this

pattern so my friend is not tall or my

mother is short and so on to use a

person the name of a person use this

final pattern here

great she is pretty perfect perfect nice

one she is beautiful good good good good

excellent she is a nervous so nervous is

maybe about a condition we'll talk about

in this part for this pattern i wanted

to focus on practicing appearance

related vocabulary words it looks great

looks great thanks very much for your

example

everybody okay we'll take one short

break and then we'll go to part two for

today's lesson part two will focus on

these personality and condition

expressions which uses this pattern

actually so I think we'll go to the the

camera cool let me find the one I wanted

to show you for today

which was about your family there it is

good so I thought this would be a

perfect PDF to show you again today this

is the family and relatives PDF it does

include family vocabulary some very

common family vocabulary so we can use

this actually in part two my question

for you in part two is about describing

someone in your life on the back are

some expressions to use for the first

time you meet someone as well so I

thought this would be a nice one to

review also this holiday Thanksgiving is

coming soon so this is one PDF I thought

would be good to review for today's

practice and to practice today's grammar

point as well so this is one thing you

can find from the link below the video

there are many many more so please make

sure to check the link if you have not

for awhile there's a lot of new stuff so

find these from the link if you're

watching on YouTube there's a link in

the description box if you're watching

on Facebook there's a link above the

video in the description box if you are

watching on Instagram please check the

YouTube or Facebook to get these and

sorry I cannot see your comments live

alrighty let's go to part 2 for today's

lesson if you are just joining today's

topic is how to describe people how to

describe people with relative clauses a

little bit so the last point is going to

be about relative clauses okay let's get

to part two though so in part two I want

to talk about personalities and

conditions so when I say personality and

condition I mean the adjective you

choose so in part one we pract

just adjectives about appearance yeah

like tall short slim pretty handsome

appearance related adjectives here we're

going to focus on personality and

condition related adjectives so please

consider your adjective choice when you

prepare your example sentences here

let's take a look you'll notice very

quickly these patterns are exactly the

same as the ones I introduced over here

we just need to create a different

expression by changing the type of

adjectives so for example when I use the

I subject pattern I am if I want to say

not to make it negative

I can plus an adjective so for example I

am sick that's true I have a bit of a

cold I am sick so sick means not healthy

this expresses a condition this is my

condition I am sick or I am a little

sick I'm a bit sick this expresses

condition if we want to make a you or we

or they sentence we follow it with our

and we use not plus adjective so for

example you are hardworking so here

hardworking is my adjective hard-working

refers to a personality trait someone

who works very hard we can describe them

with the adjective hard-working

I am hardworking you are hard-working

mayor on that on YouTube says I am

starving great and great I'm starving

nice one some other examples are coming

and I'm tired I am lazy good I'm not

sick good examples everybody y'all says

I am brave on Facebook good ones okay

let's go to this he and she pattern

again this is the same pattern as the

person so when you want to talk about a

family member or a friend you can use

their title kind of

mom or my dad or my friend or my

roommate we use the same pattern for

both of these plus is to make the

sentence negative will include not and

an adjective so for example he is not

funny he's not funny he is not funny or

something similar so again a funny is an

adjective that refers to someone's

personality so that means maybe his

jokes I'm not very good he is not funny

or maybe I could to use this pattern my

mother

hey mom is very talkative my mother is

very talkative so talkative means

someone who likes to talk a lot we can

include very before our adjective to add

emphasis okay

Gertrude is said my sister is pregnancy

very close pregnancy is a noun

my sister is pregnant pregnant is the

word my sister is pregnant is correct

good examples he is talented excellent

examples excellent example so I'll

include a list of your adjectives over

here you can help each other talented

nice one ernesto says what does starving

mean ah starving means I'm very very

very very hungry I'm starving I'm

starving I'm starving super super hungry

hmm someone says I'm not funny okay he

is not friendly oh okay he is not big

big is maybe an appearance related

adjectives let's try to make a list of

so we can't quite see this one thank you

let's try to make a short list of some

personality and condition related

adjectives here that's a good one to

practice together uh personality ones

someone wrote up Paulino said he is a

good student he is a good student that

one is about a person's condition

like personality type I suppose - we can

use that as well I'm focusing a bit on

adjectives for this lesson he is

annoying good example annoying annoying

you mean someone usually who does like

the same thing over and over and over

again like little kids maybe like my

brother and I were very annoying when we

were kids we would like hit each other

in the car for example very annoying

very annoying

other examples my father is not

talkative someone says what is an

adjective an adjective adjective is a

grammar word adjective means a word that

describes a noun it gives us more

information about the noun

all right nice examples Oh Vicky said my

brother is an outgoing person good so

you can say my brother is an or a plus

noun phrase so a something something

something making a noun phrase there is

great or just my brother is outgoing is

also nice so outgoing outgoing you can

imagine I would just like your

personality goes out so you want to

share a lot and talk a lot that's an

outgoing person they're good at talking

to people okay uh we only have a few

minutes left so I think I'll finish up

there so just keep in mind your

adjective choice when you're describing

someone make sure to consider your

adjectives there are some personality

and condition adjectives and there are

also appearance related adjectives to

consider but for today I want to

conclude by talking about using relative

clauses to specify and maybe I have one

quick minute to remind you I won't show

up close I don't think but if you have

not please do make sure to check the

link below the video if you're watching

on youtube or if you're watching on

facebook check the link above the video

to find our free PDFs for vocabulary and

expressions related to everyday

this one I showed earlier it's about

family

maybe another good time to practice

today's grammar point is when you're

shopping - so this is shopping related

expressions okey-dokey let's go to the

last part for today the last part as I

said is using relative clauses to

specify things so we practice relative

clauses in a live stream about three

weeks ago

remember relative clauses give us extra

information about a noun and we

practiced something called reduced

relative clauses so making the clause

shorter and when to do them so here is

how we can do this when we're describing

people so in a sentence like he or she

is the man or woman who is something

something IMG you'll see a pattern like

this so let's take a look at some

examples let's say person a in a

conversation asked asks you a question

so I meet you and I ask you a question

I'm at your school or something I say

who is your teacher who is your teacher

and you look around the room and you say

in response let's go with she she is the

woman who is

talking to the students she is the woman

who is talking to the students so in

this sentence I've used this who is

talking to the students this part over

here so we learned from our relative

clauses lesson a couple weeks ago that

when we find relative pronouns followed

by the to be verb as in this case we can

remove it from the sentence this is

especially common when the relative

pronoun and the two beaver are followed

by a verb in the ing form we see that

pattern here that means we can remove it

she is the woman who's talking to the

students so when we want to like

specifies the specify means make

something clear when we want to make it

clear who a certain person in the room

is we can point and use a relative

clause to describe this oh who's your

teacher she's the woman who's talking to

the students over there so let's try it

let's see I think we have a little bit

of time for one more example so let me

grab excuse me my note real quick and

we'll take a look okay so again let's

maybe let's I wanted to introduce one

that's maybe good for emergency

situations so for example if you're on

the street with a friend you might say

something like look see that guy who is

running

I think he stole something so here's

another situation where you can use this

grammar point so let's break this down

you're with a friend and you see

something suddenly and you want to

express quickly a specific person look

see that guy again the same grammar

point who is running so someone is

running see that guy who is running I

think he stole something so in like an

emergency situation here again we can

remove who is in this case it's probably

best to remove the who is because we

want to share this information as

quickly as possible it's an emergency

situation we want to say it as fast as

possible so we remove this part this who

is part so again when you have a

relative pronoun who which or that

followed by a to be verb is was are and

so on you can remove it we see this with

verbs ending in ing and also with

prepositional phrases so let's look

let's see we have a couple more minutes

I have time to share maybe one more

example and then we'll conclude today's

lesson excuse me

ok so let's take a look uh maybe let's

do with this one where we cannot reduce

the sentence so for example let's say

you meet me somewhere on the street one

day and you come up to me and you say

excuse me are you the person who teaches

English on the internet so here is a

sentence we cannot reduce we cannot

reduce this sentence so I know are you

the person who teaches so in this case I

cannot remove this because this is not

followed by is I cannot do that so

please keep this in mind if your verb is

not followed I'm sorry if your relative

pronoun is not followed by is you cannot

remove it in this case so if you see me

are you the person who teaches English

on the Internet I might say yes I am

nice to meet you so let's take a look at

some of your examples

I see many I'll start on YouTube that

guy who is running is my friend he is a

thief this is Edgard okay that's a

little serving good good example ok um

some other examples Wayne says hey man

who is the girl who is looking at the

sign good ok who is the girl who is

looking at the sign perfect you can

reduce it who is the girl looking at the

sign good good example some other ones

Julian says she is the woman who is

swimming great and again we can reduce

it she is the woman swimming nice one uh

ok Khan while Jeet has a great example

on YouTube the girl standing over there

wearing a black sweater is my classmate

great example so that person let's see

I'm a little out of space here so maybe

person Plus over there is a great way to

introduce it the girl over there in I'm

sorry the girl over there in clothing is

something something something this is

another really good pattern you can use

the person or the guy or the girl over

there in is the prep

that we use in a red sweater in a red

jacket so we use this to talk about the

clothing you can use wearing is also

good great great great

some other examples uh she is the girl

with long hair good ah sang from

Facebook sounds great

some other examples who is the person

who helped you okay so try to build

these big sentences that share lots and

lots of information so when you point

across the room at someone you can

easily understand that okay so I get to

go for a little bit longer today people

let's see I get a little extra time

today so I'll share one more example

something else I wanted to talk to you

about um let's see what else can I share

with you let me choose another example

sentence to talk about okay uh let's try

this one if you want to if you're with

like a group of people so you go to like

a conference or maybe a competition of

some kind and you want to be clear about

your own team members you can use our to

begin the sentence so where can I'll

write it here maybe so we can see so

another way to consider how you can

specify someone is by changing the

person at the beginning of the sentence

for example our team leader is the

person who's the person who is giving

the opening speech the opening speech

okay the opening speech so our team

leader is the person who is giving the

opening speech so again I've used this

same relative pronoun plus be verb again

our team leader is the person who is

giving the opening speech at the

conference so I've shown

someone belongs to my group our our team

leader our team leader I can reduce the

sentence even more our team leader is

the person giving the opening speech at

the conference so these are just a few

ways a few samples of how you can make

these very specific sentences to

describe a person or to show that

someone belongs to your group and we can

do this with these relative clauses

maybe I'll finish today with one more

very useful one and then we'll call it

we'll call it good I'll have one more

them okay when you are shopping or maybe

you're at an event of some kind and

you're looking for help or you're

looking for like a manager you can use

this sentence where do I have room where

can you see I'll put it

I'll put it it's very good okay I'll put

it here so maybe our last example I'm

out of space for the day this is a good

question to use are you the person who

is in charge for example of this event

or of this party question question this

is a question so you're looking for some

help you're looking for like a manager

or something like that are you excuse me

it's how you would begin the sentence

excuse me are you the person who is in

charge of the event so again we can

remove this who is you don't have to but

we can in this case I'm not using an ING

form you'll notice that but we use in

charge of something so when we have

these prepositional phrases remember a

preposition is in at bayan for those

little tiny words when we follow this

with the prepositional phrase we can

drop as well so are you the person who's

in charge of the event I have a question

so you can use this when you're looking

for someone to help you - so these are a

few examples of expressions that you can

use with relative

whew Alan's a long listen I got some

extra time today yeah okay but I have to

finish up so let's wrap it up thank you
