expire says hi Alicia I’ve noticed some

expressions that use AZ plus adverb plus

AZ for example as soon as can you tell

me about the adverbs that I can use this

with and explain all about it sure

okay first let’s look at a couple of

basic ways that you can use this pattern

so we’ll talk about as soon as a little

bit later because it’s a little bit

different but we can use AZ plus adverb

plus AZ or AZ plus adjective plus AZ to

show that something is equal to

something else for example Sarah sing

as beautifully as Kim Jeff is as tall as

Dave so these examples mean that person

a and person B are equal in terms of

something in the first example sentence

Sarah and Kim sing equally beautifully

in the second example sentence Jeff and

Dave have equal Heights so as plus

adjective or as plus adverb plus AZ

refers to two things that are equal in

some way so that’s one way of using this

as soon as your example is a bit

different from this we use as soon as to

mean that one action will be done or one

action will occur immediately after

another action for example will leave as

soon as you finish your drink so that

means that one action leaving will

happen immediately after the other

action finishing a drink so we’ll leave

as soon as you finish your drink means

we’ll leave immediately after or just

after you finish your drink so this is

kind of different we’re not using it to

make a comparison or to say that

something is equal to something else

this is kind of a set expression which

means immediately following something

else another expression that uses this

as plus something plus as pattern is as

long as as long as so as long as means

only if for example I can go to the

party as long as I finish my homework so

another way to say this is I can go to

the party only if I finish my homework

meaning if I do not finish my homework I

cannot go to the party so as long as is

another way to do that another pattern

is with few and with little and we use

this when we want to emphasize small

quantities of things we use as few as or

as little as for example as few as 60

people attended the seminar as few as

half of the students passed the class

and as few as six stood

attended the class so this means that

like six or sixty or whatever the number

is was like a small amount compared to

maybe what was expected so we use as few

as or as little as to express that keep

in mind that this doesn’t really matter

regarding uncountable or countable nouns

we use this with both on the other hand

when you want to talk about large

amounts of things you can use as many as

to do that so for example as many as

1,000 people volunteered for the event

or as many as 60 students entered to win

the contest so that kind of emphasizes

that a large amount or perhaps more of

something than expected happened or

occurred as much as is another

expression that follows this as

something as pattern but as much as has

some different uses than as many as we

can use as much as to refer to something

that is equal as I talked about at the

very beginning to this answer as in she

earns as much as he does or she drinks

as much wine as he does so that refers

to equal amounts of something we can

also use it to talk about like

activities we enjoy or activities we

feel something for for example he likes

cooking as much as he likes watching

movies so that expresses equality

there’s also one kind of strange use of

as much as which is an examples like as

much as I like the new guy at the office

I don’t think he’s going to stay at the

company long or as much as I want to go

to that new restaurant I don’t have a

budget for it this week

so this use of as much as means like

despite or even though so like despite

how much I like that new guy or even

though I really like that new guy I

can’t see him at the company for very

long or something like that so we use as

much as usually at the beginning of a

clause to mean despite or even though so

this is a quick introduction to some

very common as something as pattern some

of which use adverbs but I hope that

this helps answer your question thanks

very much

ok let’s move on to your next

question next question comes from amar

hi amar amar says hi Alicia is there any

difference between these day by day and

by the day minute by minute

and by the minute hour by hour and by

the hour yes there are some differences

first let’s look at one group of these

let’s look at day by day hour by hour

and minute by minute we use these

expressions to mean that something

happens gradually something maybe

changes gradually a condition or a state

changes gradually over a period of time

so for example day by day she worked on

her project until it was finished or

minute by minute she grew hungrier and

hungrier hour by hour he got more and

more worried so each of these

expressions shows how much time passed

like what was the length of time of that

activity in the first example sentence

day by day it means that she worked on

her project over a period of days in the

second example sentence over several

minutes

she grew hungrier and hungrier in the

third example sentence over a period of

hours he got more and more worried so we

use this pattern to show like the

gradual progression of something or

gradual change in something we can use

the second pattern you introduced this

by the day or by the hour or by the

minute to do it but we need to change

the sentences slightly for example her

project progressed by the day she grew

hungrier by the minute he became more

and more worried by the hour so when

you’re using this by the day or by the

minute or by the hour pattern you need

to make sure that the subject of your

sentence is the thing that is changing

so in some cases the thing that is

changing might be separate from like the

person who is doing the activity this is

especially the case for the first

example sentence when using that day by

day pattern I said

by day she worked on her project until

it was finished that’s fine but when I’m

using this by the day pattern I need to

make the thing that is changing the

subject of my sentence so in this case

her project progressed by the day so

that means her project the thing that is

changing progressed so that means it

moved forward by the day so this pattern

personally I don’t use this one so much

I think I might use the first style a

little bit more commonly the final point

for my answer to this question is about

the second group of expressions we can

use these when we’re talking about

prices for goods or for services so

let’s imagine that we are renting an

office space to rent the office space by

the day it’s $70 to rent the office

space by the minute it’s 20 cents and to

rent the office space by the hour it’s

ten dollars so we use by the minute or

by the hour or by the day or maybe by

the week perhaps in some cases do you

talk about prices for time periods of

things so you may see this if again

you’re like renting a space or you need

to buy some goods or a service or

something and the available prices are

in units of time so this is another case

where you might see this so I hope that

this answer helps you thanks very much

for the question okay let’s move on to

your next question next question comes

from van anh hi van on Van anchez I’m

very confused about the conversion of

adverbs of time in reported speech for

example the rules say today needs to be

turned into that day tomorrow becomes

the next day and yesterday becomes the

day before why is that also why do

people who are learning English as a

second language need to learn about

reported speech and direct and indirect

speech by native speakers don’t mmm

first question I wouldn’t say that these

are rules there’s not a rule about using

tomorrow or yesterday or the next day or

whatever what’s important when you’re

reporting speech is chickens

sitter the relationship between your

conversation to the present point in

time so for example if you and I had a

conversation before I started recording

this video about like some plan we have

for two days in the future and then I

want to report that to our mutual friend

the next day so tomorrow now I would say

hey I talked to van yesterday or van

told me about this yesterday or I want

to talk to you about tomorrow’s plan

I talked to van about it yesterday so

what’s important is the relationship

between that conversation the

conversation where you’re reporting

something and the actual conversation

that you’re referring to so that

relationship is what’s important so I

wouldn’t say like the next day I would

say tomorrow because it’s quite natural

it is natural to use the next day if

it’s like something that was in the past

or it’s not easy to use tomorrow or

yesterday so if we think about a

different example like if I want to talk

about a meeting that happened two weeks

ago then I would probably use that day

or the next day so for example I could

say on that day my manager said my

project was a great success the next day

I received a promotion so in that case

on that day refers to the day of the

meeting so maybe I don’t need to be

specific then the next day refers to the

day following the meeting I cannot use

tomorrow in that case because tomorrow

is referencing only the day after the

present so tomorrow has a very specific

use the next day refers to the next day

in the story so we can’t use tomorrow or

yesterday loosely we can use the next

day or the day before or the day prior

to talk about like past events or even

future events as well too but tomorrow

today and yesterday are very like

constrained so it’s kind of strict our

use of those we need to use those when

referring to the present point in time

so please keep this in mind so don’t

worry about like following a specific

rule for reporting speech in this way

think about your relationship to the

conversation you’re having now and the

conversation about which you are

reporting that’s what’s important here

so this will get easier with time and

with practice and if it’s helpful you

might take a look at a calendar while

you try to think about how to report

speech and it might kind of help you

visualize how to explain things in the

best way regarding your second question

native speakers do learn about reporting

speech and reporting like indirect and

direct speech we just learn it naturally

as speakers of any language do so this

is something for everybody to learn and

that everybody uses I hope that this

helps you thanks for the question okay

let’s move on to your next question next

question comes from Khalil hi Khalil

Khalil says hi Alicia how do I get

better at pronouncing P and B in words

like probably responsible purple back

pack bath path and so on ah well you

already know that these letters are

these sounds are challenging for you so

the next step really is to practice I

would say when you practice

pronunciation - if it’s something that

you can’t quite get the hang of like you

feel like you’re trying really hard but

you can’t quite make the sound try

practicing a bit in front of a mirror

and look at the way a native speaker

says those sounds so Google or find on

youtube a video of someone saying these

sounds so it’s not just listening but

you want to actually see someone making

these sounds and try to make your mouth

make the same motions as the native

speaker so this might feel a little bit

uncomfortable at first like when I teach

pronunciation lessons with my students

they feel like a little uncomfortable or

they laugh because we have to use like

sounds in English that they don’t use in

their native language and it feels

strange to them so if it feels strange

that’s okay like try to push yourself to

make a new sound so for example when

you’re making a piece ound puff you need

to really like pull your lips in mmm to

make that sound so you

can’t make a peace ound with a B sound

mount position so it’s going to sound

like but you need to make a gesture sort

of or a motion with your mouth

so try practicing in front of a mirror

and see if you can make your mouth

motions match the motions of a native

speaker and if you have trouble

pronouncing the whole word like probably

in one go try breaking it down into

syllables so probably and then try to

connect the syllables together so ibly

or Probab something like that so break

the words down until you feel

comfortable that you’re pronouncing them

correctly so I hope that this helps and

good luck with your pronunciation

studies thanks very much for the

question ok

let’s move on to your next question next

question comes from Phoenix hi Phoenix

Phoenix says hi Alicia I am Phoenix from

Vietnam could you explain the difference

between bar pub beer club and beer

garden

thanks a million ok sure a bar is a

place where alcoholic drinks are served

bars can be casual they can be very

luxurious perhaps they have a few snacks

but usually snacks are like maybe nuts

or maybe like dried fruit or something

like that so a bar is a place primarily

usually for alcoholic drinks a pub is a

bit more of a casual place a pub has

kind of a neighborhood feel it’s usually

not like a luxurious place the probably

most popular drink and a pub is beer and

you can get food at a pub it’s usually

not super healthy it’s usually like

fried foods or like meat or maybe stews

that kind of thing so it’s often this

very like hearty kind of homestyle

cooking at pubs a beer club a beer club

is not something that we have at least

in the u.s. that’s not a word that we

really use in English that’s not a word

we use in English at all together a beer

club separately that could refer to a

group of people that gets together to

drink beer or maybe they have some kind

of membership system where they exchange

beer I don’t know

so it could be a

your club people who enjoy a beer

together we do have the word beer bar

which refers to a certain type of bar

that serves just specialty beers so that

is a word a beer bar you might also hear

the word beer pub which is like a more

casual beer bar finally a beer garden is

a place outside usually it like a

festival or some other kind of event

where people can drink beer outside so

it’s just like kind of like what it

sounds you can usually drink beer in

like a grassy area outside so that’s

called a beer garden I hope that this

helps you thanks very much for the

question Elektra from Greece could you

please explain gerron’s to us sure a

gerund is a verb in the ing form so

using it in this way makes it a noun we

can use it as a noun in a sentence for

example she likes cooking or he hates

hiking so in these sentences the words

that end in ing are gerunds in the first

sentence cooking in the second sentence

hiking we can use jaren’s and the

infinitive forms of verbs sometimes

interchangeably so the infinitive form

of a verb is 2 plus the base form of the

verb for example she likes to cook or he

likes to hike a very common question is

when do I use a gerund when do I use an

infinitive and the question is quite big

it’s way too big to answer in this

series the reason is that there are many

different groups of verbs that tend to

take jaren’s or that tend to take

infinitives but there are exceptions all

over the place so it’s quite challenging

to make a rule or a guide specifically

for jaren’s or specifically for

infinitives so this is a quick

introduction to what a gerund is it’s a

verb that takes an ING ending and is

used as a noun in a sentence I hope that

this helps you thanks very much for the

question ok let’s move on to your next

question next question comes from El

Hassan Ahmed hello al hassan al hassan

says I sometimes hear people say better

instead of improve as if it is a verb is

that formal for

example think about how to better

yourself also I heard someone say more

better and it sounded strange to me I

mean can I say he is more taller than me

I don’t think I can thanks a lot

okay yes exactly to better means to

improve and yes it does sound a little

bit more polite a little bit more formal

like you should better yourself you

should improve yourself or she aims to

better her students meaning she aims to

improve her students so yes you can use

better to mean improve in this way just

make sure you use it as a verb to answer

your second question though more better

as you’ve said yes is grammatically

incorrect and you’re also correct you

cannot say he is more taller than me

that’s also incorrect so the reason that

you might hear something like this is

because native speakers often like to

make grammatical mistakes on purpose to

sound funny like to sound childish or

like to make a joke so a very popular

one is to use the expression more better

like ah that’s more better it sounds

kind of cute like a child who hasn’t

learned all of the grammar rules of

English yet they might say more better

instead of just better so this is maybe

like a way that someone could joke

around or just try to sound more

friendly or kind of cute'

in their speaking thanks very much for

the question I hope that this helps you

okay let’s move on to your next question

next question comes from Tatsu haitatsu

Tatsu says could you tell me the

difference between correct and right

sure if you’re talking about the

opposite of wrong as in like the answers

on a test and correct and right are both

fine to use you can use either of them

if you’re talking about the opposite of

left then you have to use right you

cannot use correct for that we also

talked about things that are societally

proper that are societally good with the

word right we do not use correct so for

example if you say like oh my gosh my

medical feeds from my hospital stay

we’re so high that’s not right

so we use right to mean like that’s not

good or that’s not fair that’s not

like a good thing in our society we also

use the word right to mean like basic

human rules in a society again - so for

example in the USA people have the right

to silence so that means a basic rule

that people have in the US is the

ability to keep their silence about

something so we cannot use correct in

that case so these are the various uses

of correct and rights I hope that this

helps you thanks for the question ok

let’s move on to your next question next

question comes from Mitch mitt mitt mitt

mitt mitt mitt mitt mitt says hi Alicia

why don’t native speakers use specific

times and present perfect but they do

use specific times in simple past tense

because when we’re using the basic form

of present perfect we’re not focusing on

when in the past specific action

occurred we just want to talk about that

life experience so the time the point in

time at which it happened is not

important or we don’t know or we don’t

want to focus on that for example I have

been to France or he has eaten sushi in

these situations for whatever reason

when that happened is not important we

just want to express our life experience

so we do not use a specific point in

time and it sounds very unnatural to use

a specific point in time with that like

present perfect tense if however you

want to use present perfect continuous

to talk about a point at which something

started and then has continued until the

present time you can and you should use

a for or since ending to it for example

I have been living in France since 2013

or he has been studying English for

three years in those cases we need to

mark the starting point of that action

or condition so we do use a specific

point in time let’s compare this then to

using simple past tense when we use

simple past tense we want to express an

action that started and that finished in

the past and so we do use a specific

point in time for example I went to

France last summer or he

sushi last week so in sum if you want to

just share a general life experience use

the regular present perfect tense if you

want to talk about something that

started in the past and continues to the

present use present perfect continuous

and include a specific point in time at

which your actions started or began or

like when your condition started if you

want to talk about something that’s done

that’s over and you want to talk about

the specific point in which that thing

happened use simple past tense so I hope

that this helps you thanks very much for

the question okay let’s move on to your

next question next question comes from

late Jerry hi late Jerry late Jerry says

hi Alicia a lot of people use double

negation lately is this a kind of

innovation can we use it is it

grammatically correct for example can’t

nobody tell me nothing nice question

yeah some people who are very strict

about grammar like now and historically

consider double negation to be like

incorrect or they think that it’s a sign

poor education or something like that

but that’s not the case double negation

has existed in English for a long time

and it exists now so in some dialects in

English double negation or multiple

negation is used more commonly than

other dialects so for example I don’t

really use double negation in my speech

but in certain parts of the US or in

certain parts of England people may use

that kind of speech so I would suggest

that if it’s not natural for you if you

didn’t grow up with it if it’s not

something that you or the people around

you regularly use it’s probably going to

sound very unnatural for you to use that

so your example sentence was can’t

nobody tell me nothing that is not a

sentence I personally would use but

someone who speaks a different dialect

of English that uses this kind of

negation might if I wanted to say that

sentence I would say something like

nobody can tell me anything that’s how I

would say it so using the other sentence

would sound very unnatural for me that

kind of speech is not natural for me so

it sounds perhaps

maybe or offensive for me to use that I

would say just try to be aware of the

people who are around you if you are

learning English in a place where a

double negation is common then perhaps

it’s natural for you to use a bit of it

as well if you’re just kind of trying to

mimic something that maybe you heard on

TV or in music or in media or something

like that it’s probably going to sound

very unnatural so yes it is used yes it

is featured actually in some dialects of

English that doesn’t mean that it’s

natural for everyone to use if this kind

of speech is hard for you to understand

don’t worry this is just another part of

language learning and this is a specific

way that some people speak in English so

while yes it does go against like

traditional grammar rules I suppose that

doesn’t mean that the communication is

any less valid so try to keep that in

mind and again if it’s difficult for you

to understand people who speak this way

that’s okay just with time and practice

you will gradually come to know what

that sentence means or what that speaker

is actually saying so I hope that this

helps you thanks very much for an

interesting question Huckabee says hi

Alicia I’m a university student in Japan

I teach English to elderly students as a

part-time job one of them asked me what

fire with fire means I guess the man

heard the phrase in a movie could you

tell me the meaning yeah this is part of

an idiom the expression is usually to

fight fire with fire that’s the full

phrase typically you might also hear to

match fire with fire or to meet fire

with fire but in most cases it’s to

fight fire with fire

this phrase means to fight an opponent

with the same weapon or the same method

that your opponent uses so sometimes

this literally means fighting someone

with the same kind of weapon but in most

cases it’s talking about like a specific

kind of competition and using the same

method as your opponent to participate

in that competition for example if

someone starts shouting at you you can

fight fire with fire

by shouting back at them so in that case

there’s no fire involved but

outing is your opponent’s weapon or

method of attacking so if you want to

fight that you use the same method and

shout back so that could be considered

fighting fire with fire you might also

hear this used in like business

situations when you’re talking about

like competition between businesses or

between companies or industries for

example company a is spending a lot of

money on advertising this year we have

to fight fire with fire and increase our

own advertising budget so this just

means to compete or like to attack or

oppose someone with the same method or

the same weapon that they use against

you so again this is usually to fight

fire with fire I hope that that helps

you thanks for the question okay let’s

move on to your next question next

question comes from L Hasan Ahmed hello

again al hassan al hasan says what is

the difference between i don’t know what

is that and i don’t know what that is

for example i don’t know what the

difference between them is and i don’t

know what is the difference between them

okay the difference is that the second

example is correct the first example is

incorrect these are examples of what are

called embedded questions so it’s when

we have a question inside a statement or

we have a question inside another

question these are called embedded

questions embedded questions and when we

use the verb to be in embedded questions

it takes a slightly different word order

so when we use the verb to be to ask a

direct question we would say something

like where is the restroom or where are

my coworkers

that’s a direct question but when we use

an indirect question or we use an

embedded question we have to change the

word order a little bit so instead of

where is the restroom we have to say

something like I don’t know where the

restroom is and instead of where are my

co-workers we might say do you know

where my co-workers are so in each of

these examples the to be verb

actually moves to the end of the

sentence or to the end of the question

this is kind of special for these

embedded questions style responses so

keep this in mind when you’re making an

embedded question is does not follow

your question word is goes at the end of

the sentence the same is true for R and

of course was and were if you’re making

past tense statements or past tense

questions but again this is just for the

verb to be if you’re using any other

verb you don’t need to worry about this

change so if it’s like talk or walk or

drink or whatever you don’t need to

worry about that if you’re using the

verb to be however you do need to switch

your word order in the sentence so again

your second example sentence is correct

so I don’t know what that is is the

correct sentence I don’t know what is

that is incorrect of course if you’re

ever not sure what to do and you’re

faced with a situation where you should

choose it’s not impolite it’s not

incorrect to use a direct question like

where is the restroom but it does sound

a bit more polite to phrase it

indirectly or to use an embedded

question like do you know where the

restroom is it sounds a bit more polite

so again if you’re ever unsure you can

use a direct question no problem but do

make sure to practice these embedded

questions and the special pattern that

we use with the verb to be so I hope

that that helps you thanks very much for

the question okay let’s move on to your

next question next question comes from

on high on on says can you give an

explanation about the word roughly

thanks so much okay I’m sure roughly

means about it means approximately or

around for example roughly half of the

students in the class passed the test

sales decreased by roughly 30 percent

last month so in these cases roughly

means about or around we tend to use

roughly more in polite situations like

at work in meetings we don’t use it so

much in everyday conversation in

everyday conversation we use about or

around there’s another use of roughly

however which you can kind of think of

as meaning aggressive or like a little

bit aggressive or

not refined so for example my neighbor

speaks roughly but he’s actually a nice

guy or this woman on the train pushed me

really roughly it hurt so in those cases

roughly means in kind of an aggressive

manner a slightly aggressive manner or a

not refined manner so when we use

roughly as an adverb in this way it

means like not refined it’s it’s kind of

aggressive when you’re using it to talk

about amounts or data it means about so

I hope that this helps you thanks very

much for the question

okay let’s move on to your next question

next question comes from Patricia hi

Patricia Patricia says hi Alicia I enjoy

your videos thank you my question is

about when I visit restaurants and I

don’t want ice in my drink for example

how do I say that no ice or without ice

thank you yeah we would say no ice no

ice so if you said without ice it’s

probably not a communication issue but

more naturally we would say no ice

please you can use this for pretty much

anything any kind of special order like

no tomato no onion no pickles and so on

so if you don’t want something use no

before the name of that thing that you

don’t want we have another expression

that we use at restaurants which is on

the side on the side so for example if

you order a salad and you say I’d like

the dressing on the side please it means

your salad and the dressing or the

topping for the salad will come

separately so if you don’t say on the

side the restaurant staff will probably

put the dressing on top of your salad

and serve it to you if you request the

dressing on the side however you can

choose how much to put on top of your

salad so some people like to in this

case with salads request that things be

served separately to do that you say on

the side you’ll usually get a separate

dish or a separate cup or bowl or

something for your dressing or whatever

it is you’ve chosen to order so on the

side is another thing you can use in

restaurants finally for the opposite of

this situation for the opposite of no if

you want more of some

you use extra extra like extra cheese

please or extra bacon please or extra

avocado keep in mind though that when

you say extra you’re probably going to

have to pay more so if you have like a

cheeseburger for example and you say I’d

like extra avocado so that means there’s

already avocado on the cheeseburger you

want more avocado on it you’re probably

going to have to pay more for that

avocado if however you order something

without an ingredient like no tomato on

this cheeseburger there’s no discount so

please don’t expect a discount if you

ask for less of something if you ask for

more of something however it’s probably

going to cost you a little more money so

also keep in mind that we use extra when

something already exists inside the dish

so in my example it’s like an avocado

burger there’s avocado on the burger I

want more I say extra if there’s no

avocado on the burger I say like

something like can I have a picado as a

topping please or can I add avocado as a

topping please we might use one of those

expressions so can I have something as a

topping or can I add something we might

use one of those two patterns so those

are a few restaurant related expressions

that I hope are helpful for you thanks

for the question ok let’s move on to

your next question next question comes

from will Jin’s diss Samus hello will

jhin’s will Jin says hi Alicia is there

a difference between to lend and to

borrow yes the difference is in the

point of view for example I lent my

friend a pen and my friend borrowed a

pen from me so when the person that is

giving the object is the subject of this

sentence we use lend when the person who

is receiving the object is the subject

of the sentence we use borrow so let’s

swap the people in my example sentences

so my friend lent me a pen and I

borrowed a pen from my friend so again

in those cases the person giving

the object is the subject of the

sentence when I use lend and the person

receiving the object is the subject of

the verb borrow when I use borrow so

please keep this in mind this

relationship so am I giving or am i

receiving that’s what’s important to

keep in mind I know it’s a little

confusing at first but with practice you

will get the hang of it you’ll get used

to it

so I hope that this helps you thanks

very much for the question hi everybody

my name is Alisha in this lesson I’m

going to talk about phrasal verbs with

back let’s get started okay first I want

to introduce a group of four verbs that

shares one common point that is this

these four verbs all have the meaning of

moving with the rear part of something

forward so if you imagine a car the

front and the back of a car like the

front side and the back side of a person

if you imagine all of these verbs share

the meaning of making a motion in some

direction of moving in some direction

however the rear part is the part that

is like the forward moving part so we

usually walk with this part of our body

moving forward but when we move with the

rear part forward it means this

direction so we’re moving back in a

backwards motion so these four verbs all

include that meaning I want to mention

that first these that we’ll talk about

later don’t include that meaning so

these four include that meaning plus

some preposition that tells us the

direction of that movement and the

relationship of that movement as well to

something else so with that in mind

let’s take a look at these four phrasal

verbs the first phrasal verb here is

back into back into so back into means

moving with the rear part forward yes so

this kind of motion plus moving into a

space so to back into something you’re

backing into an enclosed space so in

imagine with a car a lot of these will

be very very useful for using with a car

so an example of this would be this one

he backed in to the parking space he

backed into the parking space so you

imagine with a car backing in the rear

part of the car moves in to the parking

space that means the rear part of the

car enters the parking space first so we

use the phrasal verb to back into you’ll

notice here - this is the past tense

form backed he backed in backed as the

past form of back so he backed in to the

parking space tells us that he moved

with the rear part of the car forward

into the parking space ok so now let’s

look at the opposite of this to back out

of something so since we have out here

we had in before this shows us this is

the the opposite direction then however

we don’t use back out - we use back out

of please be careful here back out of so

this means to move out of a space to

move out of a space so an example

sentence might be the question in this

case can you back out of the garage can

you back out of the garage so again this

means that the rear part of the car is

moving forward however instead of going

into a space the motion is coming from a

space so we’re backing out of a space

that means from a position inside a room

in this case a garage the back of the

car moves first out of the garage so

backing out of something to back out of

a garage or to back out of a parking

space as well okay now let’s move along

to the next phrasal verb back on - back

on - this is quite different from back

in or back out to back on to means to

move backwards on top of something so

again when you’re driving a car for

example you might use the expression he

backed on to the sidewalk so this means

the rear part of the car

our mood first and as it moved it moved

on top of something else

so there’s movement and movement on to

another thing he backed on to the

sidewalk or he backed on to maybe a

bicycle for example so movement

backwards and on top of something else

so this might happen to you when you’re

using a car or another vehicle so let’s

move on to the next phrasal verb which

is backed away from back away from is a

phrasal verb you might use more to talk

about your body the motion of your body

than you would a car so this means to

move backwards in a direction opposite

to something else so by this I mean

there’s maybe another person or there’s

some thing that you want to move away

from and again the rear part of your

body moves first so if you imagine it

that that there’s something like in

front of you here in front of the front

part of your body and you want to move

away from it but you maintain this

direction with your body we use the

phrasal verb to back away from to talk

about doing that so in example sentence

they backed away from the fire so you

imagine there’s a fire like you’re

camping for example and you move in this

way you can say you backed away from the

fire so to back away from might be

something you used to talk about your

body more so than to talk about a car

perhaps but this means moving in an

opposite direction from something else

okay so let’s move along then to the

next three which do not belong to this

group relating to that kind of

rear-facing motion these are very

different actually let’s first begin

with this expression - back off - back

off so to back off means to remove

oneself from a situation that’s one or

to move away in fear so this first one

to remove yourself from a situation this

is often said in response to a person

who’s getting involved in a situation

you want that person to go away from the

situation so it’s commonly used as a

command like back off it means go away

or stop bothering me maybe you’re

working on a project for example and

someone tries to come share opinions or

criticize your work or something you’re

not ready you can say it back off I’m

still working on this for example so

it’s used often to give a command to

someone actually we also use this to

express fear like if someone threatens

us or we’re afraid of something and we

want to kind of move away from the

situation we can use back off as well

let’s look at an example here back off

and let us deal with the problem so this

is related to criticism like we don’t

need you to be involved so let us handle

it that’s kind of the feeling of back

off like we don’t need you please go

away so to back off in this way we’re

first you leaving a situation okay let’s

move along to the next one which is back

down to back down from something means

to admit a mistake to admit a mistake or

it can mean like to stop supporting

something these are actually kind of

connected to stop supporting something

is like to stop supporting an opinion

kind of so when you admit a mistake you

stop supporting that mistake it’s kind

of the idea here so an example of this

could be my neighbor won’t back down he

accuses me of being noisy so the

neighbor in other words is wrongly

accusing the speaker of being noisy but

the neighbor won’t back down

that means the neighbor refuses to admit

a mistake there were a few he refuses he

or she refuses to admit that there’s

something wrong refuses to stop

supporting the opinion so my neighbor

won’t back down

he won’t stop in how many words he

continues to accuse me so to back down

is like yeah kind of removing your

support

for something you said or some behavior

you had in the past okay

let’s move along then to the last

phrasal verb for this lesson which is to

back up to back up this is used in terms

of to back up someone to back up another

person this means to support someone

verbally so verbally means with your

word to support someone verbally is to

back someone up so you can split this to

back someone up so an example of this

could be my colleagues backed me up when

I made a complaint so my colleagues

supported me when I made a complaint

I made the complaint and my colleagues

verbally or they shared some words to

support what I was saying in other words

so to back some what it means to support

them keep in mind this is very different

from to be a backup to be a backup means

to be a substitute for something it has

a very different meaning here so to be a

backup that’s something very different

from to back someone up so keep that in

mind and try to pay attention to the

situations where those two words are

used all right so those are hopefully a

few new ways that you can use the verb

back of course if you have any questions

or comments or want to try to make a

sentence or maybe you know a different

way of using the verb back please feel

free to do so in the comment section of

this video hi everybody my name is

Alicia in this lesson I’m going to talk

about some phrasal verbs that use the

word push so these are expressions that

feature the verb push but have a

slightly different meaning from the

basic meaning of push let’s take a look

okay let’s begin with the first

expression which is push off to push off

means to begin moving usually we use

this with a boat when we say push off

it’s like we’re pushing away from some

kind of like safety or some kind of

support we typically use this for boats

to mean moving away from like a dock

moving away from land moving away from

the part of the boat that’s connect

to some safety on land so we use this

like to refer to moving away from a safe

place but it tends to be used a lot in

boats an example of this we pushed off

at 8 a.m. so here it’s the past tense we

pushed off and the time we pushed off at

8 a.m. means probably the boat left the

safe place at the dock at 8 a.m. so to

push off means to begin moving away from

something away from something some kind

of support okay let’s move along to the

next expression the next expression is

to push by to push by something or to

push by someone means to use a pushing

motion to move past someone or something

we use this a lot with people in a

crowded situation where you’re near

someone else but you would like to move

past that person you can use a slight

pushing motion a gentle pushing motion

to move past that person so you don’t

want to maybe push them a lot but you

can alert the other person you can tell

the other person you’re going to pass

them with this expression for example

I’m gonna push by you I’m gonna push by

you shows I’m going to push myself or

I’m maybe going to push something close

to you or I might push you a little bit

it refers to making a pushing motion to

move somewhere so to push by someone in

this case to push by you in other words

I’m going to make a pushing motion and

move past you it’s usually a small

pushing motion not a big one so this is

just a quick kind of alert phrase you

can tell someone

as you move by them okay let’s move

along to the next expression which is to

push someone around to push someone

around means to bully someone to bully

someone so you can imagine this is in a

situation where there’s someone maybe

higher level and someone lower level

this could be at school it could be at

work it could be in groups of friends

when you push someone around you are

unkind to them you make unkind comments

to them you ask them to do lots of

things for you for kind of no reason

just to use your power over that person

we use the expression to push someone

around to talk about bullying someone

like this an example

don’t let your boss push you around so

in other words don’t let your boss bully

you don’t let your boss make you do so

many things or don’t let your boss be

rude to you so to push someone around

it’s like you’re using them or you’re

not treating them with respect it’s not

a good thing it’s a negative expression

okay let’s move on to the next phrasal

verb the next phrasal verb is to push

limits to push limits you’ll hear this a

lot in technology news business perhaps

as well this expression means to work at

the extremes so you can imagine that

there’s some kind of boundary some kind

of limit in your field at your job in

your life so to push those limits means

to work there and try to expand those

boundaries you’re working it like the

extreme part of your job or the extreme

part of your industry your knowledge or

whatever it is in your case and you’re

trying to make that like bigger you’re

trying to expand that so we use the

expression push limits to refer to that

kind of thing a very common example is

we’re pushing the limits of Technology

so here it’s the progressive tense we’re

pushing the limits of Technology in

other words we’re trying to make the

limits of technology a little bit bigger

or we’re trying to go to the next step

kind of so we’re pushing the limits this

is an expression we use to talk about

like next generation things they’re kind

of evolution of some kind

another way to think of pushing limits

is like doing the impossible or working

to do the impossible so something that’s

not possible now may become possible

through your efforts so it’s like you’re

trying to do

something that’s not possible in the

present but you want it to become

possible in the future you’re pushing

the limits of what’s available to you

now okay let’s move along to the next

phrasal verb then the next phrasal verb

is to push ahead I want to group this

with the next one in the list as well to

push ahead and to push along these have

quite similar meanings push ahead feels

a little more like to make efforts to

create forward progress to push ahead

like to the next step with something to

push ahead in a project to push ahead in

your business idea to push along is kind

of like to cause someone else to make

that forward progress so you can use it

for a project as well like to try to

push along a project but when we use

push along it’s like you’re trying to

kind of help something or help someone

else make forward progress so they tend

to be used in very similar ways but

perhaps there are some slight

differences in nuance we might use push

along more with people than push ahead

so as I said push ahead kind of feels

like making efforts to make forward

progress to move to the next step with

something and then we can think of push

along as like moving something forward

or causing another person to move

forward as well so let’s take a look at

some example sentences first let’s push

ahead to the next step so let’s make

efforts to move to the next step in the

thing we are doing in the second example

sentence with push along I’ve used a

person here can you try to push him

along so can you try to motivate him to

encourage him try to push him along

meaning get him

motivate him to do his tasks or to do

the things he needs to do so we can go

to the next step so you’re trying to get

someone moving here so quite similar

ideas but maybe slight differences in

how they are used okay let’s move along

to the next X

which is push back to push back means to

resist something to resist something or

to oppose something so this is used a

lot in politics and in business in any

kind of like discussion where there’s a

lot of disagreement to push back against

something usually you’re opposing an

idea opposing a person opposing a policy

so to push back is to resist that or to

oppose that an example management pushed

back against our proposal so we made a

proposal for something in the office and

management opposed that they did not

want to do that thing they resisted so

they pushed back you might also hear

this used as a noun push back push back

so not to push back but there was

pushback against our proposal so you can

hear this used as a phrasal verb or as a

noun but they both refer to resisting or

opposing something okay one more then

for this lesson it is to push for

something to push for something means to

try to persuade someone of something so

if you really really want to get

something you’re trying to convince

someone something is a good idea or

you’re trying to convince someone to

give you something we can use the

expression push for that thing to

describe that so in this example

sentence it feels kind of like you’re

persuading yourself a little bit like

you’re trying to motivate yourself

making efforts for yourself for your

future you could also use this in

talking to other people and trying to

convince other people like trying to

push your boss for a raise for example

so it means you’re trying to convince

your boss or persuade your boss to give

you a raise a raise is increased salary

increased money at your job so pushing

for something is like you’re trying to

make efforts in order to achieve

something or to get something or to

convince someone of something so to push

for a thing okay so those are a few

examples of some phrasal verbs

use the word push I hope that you found

something new here so keep an eye out

for these the next time you see them in

writing of course if you have any

questions or comments or want to

practice using one of these phrasal

verbs please feel free to do so in the

comment section of this video 10

countable nouns with irregular plural

forms let’s go

mouse mice the first noun is Mouse in

the singular it’s Mouse in the plural

its mice mice one mouse two mice not

Mouse’s not nice not anything like that

not not mouse or Mouse’s but mice mice

one Mouse two mice three mice for mice

in a sentence I hope you don’t have mice

in your house goose geese so the next

word is goose goose a goose is a kind of

big noisy bird really but a goose in the

plural form a goose becomes geese geese

so one goose two geese the collective

noun as well so the noun we use to talk

about a group of geese is a flock of

geese a flock of geese we use flock for

birds actually for collective nouns

except for like crows for some reason we

use a murder of crows isn’t that weird

I’m not sure about the history of that

word but we see like a flock of birds

like a flock of seagulls and like a

flock of geese but we use a murder of

crows that’s such a weird collective now

when you think about it I kind of

research the history on that one anyway

in a sentence geese migrate south in the

winter tooth teeth the next noun is

tooth tooth so the singular form is

tooth the plural form is teeth teeth one

tooth three teeth so please be careful

not to tooths but teeth teeth tooth is

an irregular noun - its teeth in a

sentence the Tooth Fairy is a mystical

creature that brings children money for

teeth they’ve lost foot feet the next

noun is foot foot so one foot two feet

so we can use this both for the part of

the body and for this

system of measurement that we use in the

US and I think in one other country we

measure things using feet so like one

foot is what twelve inches I think and

then two feet we can also use this kind

of for the system of measurement one

foot two feet so please be careful of

that not flutes but feet feet in the

plural form in a sentence keep your feet

on the ground child children okay the

next one is child child please be

careful child is the singular form

children is the plural form children one

child two children many children lots of

children so but be careful not cha

child’s children is the plural form here

please be careful in a sentence some

people want to have lots of children

person people the next word is person

person in the singular form one person

in the plural form people two people

three people four people many people

lots of people tons of people a bunch of

people people is the plural form there

so please use people when you want to

use the plural form of person one person

two people in a sentence the world is

full of different people man men

next noun is Man Man in the singular

form man in the plural form men please

be careful the pronunciation the vowel

sound pronunciation changes

significantly not man’s but men men one

man two men three men for men one man

two men so listen for that EE sound or

the a sound there this can be a really

key listening point as well in a

sentence more and more men are taking

paternity leave these days woman women

the next noun is woman woman the

singular form is woman the plural form

is women so please be careful here

although the spellings of these two

words are roughly the same and only the

vowel sound at the end appears to change

actually the O sound at the beginning of

the word also changes in the singular

form woman so we have the sort of sound

with the O at the beginning of the word

woman in singular in the plural form

however we have women it’s an e sound so

in spelling the O does not change but in

speaking the sound does change woman

women so please be cautious of this both

when you’re speaking and when you’re

listening woman to women in a sentence

look those women are all wearing the

same hat sheep sheep the next noun is

sheep sheep sheep is the next now the

plural form is actually just sheep we

cannot add an S to this we don’t say

sheeps we say sheep for the singular and

sheep for the plural weird right

so one sheep two sheep three sheep four

sheep it’s no change this word does not

change at all so how do we know we just

look at the word that comes before sheep

so if we say two sheep or lots of sheep

or a herd of sheep herd is the

collective noun for sheep or for like

cattle and farm animals big ones anyway

so sheep does not change actually it’s

an irregular one the

same rule applies to fish actually fish

in the singular fish in the plural

anyway shape in a sentence visit a farm

if you want to see lots of sheep knife

knives the next noun is knife knife so

one knife in the singular form in the

plural form it is knives knives so

there’s a V sound that comes into this

word knife that F sound knife becomes a

V sound in the plural knives one knife

two knives we also see this with the

word scarf actually one scarf two

scarves for example so please be careful

of this the so the spelling does change

significantly as well to in a sentence

then I hear you only really need three

knives in your kitchen the first

expression is I’d like to go to bla bla

bla I’d like to go to your hotel name

I’d like to go to attraction name I’d

like to go to the nearest station please

this is an expression you can use with

perhaps a taxi driver or maybe like a

shuttle bus driver from your hotel I

don’t know so if you want to explain

where you’re trying to go you can use

this expression I’d like to go to la

pobla I’d I’d like to go to bla bla bla

in a sentence I’d like to go to the

Empire State Building number of people

please the next expression is number of

people please number of people please by

this I mean like the number of people in

your group this is an expression you can

use when you go to a restaurant so if

you’re traveling with your family for

example you could say for please when

you enter a restaurant or if you’re

traveling with one other person you

could say to please so just the number

of people in your group when you go to a

restaurant this can be just a small

thing that you learn how to say so that

you can quickly communicate with the

restaurant staff so in a sentence

two people please

numbers okay next is just numbers

numbers are very useful when you travel

especially if you’re traveling to a

place where the price tags for items

might not be clearly displayed so if

you’re going to maybe like a flea market

or if you’re going to like a yard sale

or something where the prices are not

clearly marked you can use your

knowledge of numbers to ask about and to

listen for prices of things so if you

know your numbers this can be very

helpful for you and maybe you can also

like protect yourself from getting

charged too much money for something in

a sentence Wow fifty dollars for this

sandwich thank you the next expression

is thank you

thank you so before you travel make sure

to study how to say thank you and maybe

a few different ways that you can say

thank you to people of course the most

basic form in English is thank you but

maybe consider thanks or I appreciate it

or thanks a lot so make sure to know how

to say thank you before you travel in a

sentence thank you for your help can you

tell me where is the next expression is

can you tell me where something is so if

you need to ask for directions you can

use this pattern can you tell me where

the bathroom is for example or can you

tell me where this restaurant is or can

you tell me where this sightseeing spot

is so you can use this when you need to

ask directions or when you’re like in a

department store or a shopping situation

and you need help finding something can

you tell me where something is in a

sentence can you tell me where the

station is excuse me the next

expression is excuse me excuse me so

this is useful for if you bump into

someone on the street or if you need to

interrupt someone like you need to

approach someone with a question you can

sort of begin the conversation with

excuse me and then maybe could you tell

me where the station is or excuse me I’d

like to go to blah blah blah so using

excuse me can be a polite way to

initiate to begin a conversation with

someone excuse me

so in English we have excuse me or we

have sorry as well but sorry is used

more for like like an apology like I did

something wrong

excuse me is just a way to say like I’d

like to begin a conversation but I

recognize that you might be busy with

something so excuse me it’s like you

want to start a conversation sorry is

like an apology so I recommend using

excuse me in English in a sentence

excuse me where can I buy a train pass

where is the restroom okay the next one

is very important where is the restroom

where is the restroom so this is an

important question I think so if you’re

out shopping or if you’re at like in a

sightseeing location it may be important

to know where the restroom is so where

is the restroom

is a nice one to use in English you can

say where is the toilet but in American

English it might sound a little bit too

direct you could also use like where is

the washroom

perhaps in British English but generally

where is the restroom

it’s quite a nice expression to know for

English travel in a sentence where’s the

restroom I’d like please the next

expression is I’d like something please

this is useful when you visit

restaurants I’d like a beer please I’d

like a salad please you can also use it

when you’re shopping so I’d like three

of that t-shirt please I don’t know why

you need three or I’d like four of these

please so I’d like again that D sound so

the same I’d like as we talked about in

the first word in this episode I’d like

to go to we can use I’d like plus a noun

phrase I’d like something please very

useful for ordering and for shopping so

in a sentence

I’d like a beer please how do you say in

English the next expression is how do

you say something in English how do you

say something in English so if you don’t

know the English word for something but

you want to know how to say it you can

ask somebody maybe like a friend or

maybe staff at your hotel for example if

there’s someone nearby that you can ask

you can use this question how do you say

this in English how do you can point to

something like how do you say this in

English just pick it up if it’s like a

water bottle in my case how do you say

this in English or like how do you say

that in English you can use that

expression and you can just point to the

object to to make it clear what you mean

so how do you say something in English

do you speak language the next

expression is do you speak language so

do you speak language so if you want to

check and see if the other person speaks

your language you can use this

expression so in my case I would say do

you speak English or if you travel

somewhere else maybe maybe if you’re

from like Vietnam you could say do you

speak Vietnamese or do you speak

Portuguese or do you speak Chinese so

you can ask people around you what

languages they speak if you have like an

idea that maybe that person can speak

that language you can ask them do you

speak Japanese so maybe a useful one do

you speak English - alright in a

sentence then procrastinating and study

let’s go register for a challenging test

register for a challenging test to

register for a challenging test that

means registering for a test that is

slightly more difficult than your

current level so if you think you’re of

yourself as like a beginner right now

maybe try registering for a test that is

at like the lower intermediate level so

if you always register for a test or

give yourself some goal that is slightly

more difficult than your current level

you can always try to be pushing in the

in the upwards direction you can always

try to be pushing to to improve little

by little so I say challenging I don’t

say difficult because if you’re a

beginner and you register for an

advanced level test it’s going to be

really difficult to meet your goal it’s

gonna be really difficult to study

everything to pass the advanced test but

if you set smaller goals smaller test

goals maybe you have a better chance of

achieving those goals and your

motivation will stay up so try

registering for a challenging test to

give yourself a goal find a movie or TV

show to understand the next idea is to

find a movie or a TV show to understand

so finding a movie or a TV show that you

can watch every week or just maybe your

favorite movie in the language you’re

studying can be a really fun way to

motivate yourself so if you have like a

TV show you want to watch every week you

can focus your energy on trying to learn

the vocabulary words or to learn the

expressions that are used in that TV

show and perhaps week after week you’ll

start to hear some similar things and

start to pick up the way that people

speak in that show so having something

that’s kind of fun and a little bit

entertaining to use as you study can

help you enjoy what you’re doing a

little bit more so the same thing can

apply to a movie if you find a movie

that you really like or you really are

inspired by that movie it can help you

as you study because it can motivate you

and inspire you to want to know all live

like the aspects of that movie to know

everything all the details of that movie

so finding something that’s kind of a

little entertaining to help you study

can be a good way to stop

procrastinating sometimes get a study

buddy the next idea is to get a study

buddy a study buddy so what is a study

buddy so buddy is a word we use for

friend so a study buddy then is a friend

that you study with or a friend that you

tell your study goals to someone who can

make sure you are responsible for your

behavior so if you have a study buddy

you can maybe check in with them every

few days or like once a week maybe you

go to a study group to get

or maybe you practice conversation

together you can set goals with your

study buddy so you don’t feel like

you’re studying alone all the time if

you study alone all the time you might

feel like I have nobody to practice with

or nobody understands my goals or I feel

like I’m the only person with my goal so

having a friend having a study buddy can

help you to feel a little bit more like

part of a team and to help you like

through questions that you might not

understand or maybe they have some

resources that you don’t have and that

can help you as you study so getting a

study buddy can be both really fun and

really helpful for you and roll in a

course the next idea is to enroll in a

course and roll in a course so like to

enroll in a course means to start a

course or to register for a course so in

this case we’re talking about a course

of study like a language course if

you’re studying English enrolling in a

course can be helpful because it creates

accountability it creates responsibility

if you enroll in a course you’re paying

money presumably and if you miss a class

if you miss a session of your course you

can think of it as money wasted

essentially so if I’m paying maybe $50

for each lesson in a course and I don’t

attend that means that I’m wasting $50

so if you think of it this way and you

are enrolled in a course then maybe this

can help you study because you don’t

want to waste your money so by attending

class you’re using your money well

you’re using your time well to study and

you also have the option to talk to your

classmates and to the teacher there

about any questions that you have

so enrolling in a course especially like

a weekly course or maybe even like a

daily course or intensive course can

help you in a lot of different ways I

think create a social media account for

your studies the next idea is to create

a social media account for your studies

so this is a popular way to get some

daily practice actually creating with

the language that you’re studying so a

really common tool for this is Twitter

I’ve seen many people use Twitter to do

this they create a Twitter account

that’s specifically for their English

language studies so people will write

about their day in English

if they’re studying English so if they

don’t have a chance to maybe speak with

colleagues and the language they’re

studying or to write an email for

example if they don’t have a way to

practice making outputs many people

choose to use social media to do that so

it’s kind of a way to reach out to find

other people who are studying or to find

resources to read everyday about the

thing you’re studying but you also have

the chance to create something yourself

so if you like you could try making a

social media account that’s devoted only

to your studies so try that out sign up

for a regular event in your studies the

next idea is to sign up for a regular

event in your studies so that means if

you’re studying English for example

maybe you can try to attend like a

monthly get-together in English

somewhere so this can be about your

hobbies it can be about just something

in your community a school event for

example if you find something that you

are able to do in English in this case

that’s also related to your hobbies it

can be helpful for you because you start

to see the ways that you can use English

in a situation outside of just your

textbook maybe or a situation that’s

outside of just your studies but getting

an idea of how other people are using

the language and getting an idea of like

how you can potentially use the language

in other ways so going to a regular like

a monthly event or maybe something twice

a month or whatever that’s maybe outside

your course or outside of your test

studies can be another good way to get

some exposure to have a chance to

actually use the things you’re learning

and to learn new things make studying

part of your daily routine the next idea

is to make studying a part of your daily

routine so by this I mean for example

taking 30 minutes in the morning or 30

minutes at night or maybe 30 minutes at

lunch whatever it is for you finding

time in your day every day to do a

little bit of study so even if you’re

only doing 10 minutes in the morning in

10 minutes at night it’s better than

zero so that’s 20 minutes over the

course of one day which is still better

than zero minutes ever if you can find a

way to make studying part of your

day and you can kind of create a routine

that studying is part of it can help you

just kind of become used to doing that

so steady doesn’t feel like a job or

studying doesn’t feel like a chore it’s

just something you do like brushing your

teeth or cooking breakfast or having a

cup of coffee or whatever so if you make

studying part of your routine then after

a while it might not feel like work it

might not feel like study it might just

feel like okay this is just the thing I

do at this time of the day so give that

a try

try to integrate study try to put study

into your daily routine reward yourself

when you finish studying the next idea

is to reward yourself when you finish

studying so when you finish your studies

whatever that time period might be

whether it’s thirty minutes or one hour

or you went to your course for the week

try finding a way to reward yourself for

studying this can be a very simple thing

like for example buying yourself a cup

of coffee or you get to have a piece of

chocolate or after you finish studying

you can watch your favorite TV show so

find a way to put reward into your study

routine so once you finish studying

there’s something good that happens that

you can expect at the end of your study

period so kind of reward yourself like

so that it helps you develop and feel

motivated to continue doing that study

routine make your goals public the next

idea is to make your goals public so

make your goals public means share your

goals with people so if you don’t want

to share your goals with everybody maybe

you can just tell a few friends about

your goal so if that goal is to pass a

test for example or if that goal is to

master a certain grammar point or maybe

the goal is to learn a certain number of

vocabulary words whatever that is try

telling people about that goal because

then it kind of creates some

responsibility for you like if you tell

people about that goal they might ask

you about it in the future and if you

say I didn’t do it or I couldn’t do it

or I’m not studying at all you might

feel kind of bad about that actually

so at

surely telling people about your goal

creates that accountability and that

responsibility for you so try sharing

your goal with the people around you

also they might support you there’s a

chance that they can support you or they

can offer help they can offer something

to help you achieve your goal so try

that make studying a game the last idea

is to make studying a game to make

studying a game so in some cases you can

find applications or you can find games

you can find ways to study where like

someone has already programmed a game

like especially for vocabulary words for

example you can find a way to enjoy your

studies if that doesn’t already exist

try to invent a game especially if you

have a study group or a study buddy try

to find creative and fun ways to use the

things that you’re studying then you can

actually enjoy your studies you don’t

have to think of it as work but you can

actually see how your studies can be fun

some examples of games that you could

use when you study English you could use

theirs like a game called Scrabble where

you you get points by creating words so

the more words you know the better

chance you have of getting a highest

score in the game so Scrabble is one way

that you could do it for children one

that’s good is sort of like it looks

like a worksheet actually but it’s

called mad libs it’s called mad libs

this is something that my brother and I

used to play when we were little

it’s a worksheet but some of the words

are missing in the worksheet and we

can’t see the whole story really it’s

good to play this game with two people

so one person reads the worksheet and

there are blank spaces on the worksheet

that say adverb or adjective or verb so

you ask the other person to give you an

adjective to give you a verb and you

write those words in the story when

they’ve given you all the words that you

need to make the story complete you then

read the full story to the person using

the words that they have given you and

it usually becomes something kind of

funny so this can be a good way to test

your grammar and also just to get kind

of creative with the sorts of words that

you’re choosing so that might be good

for kids as well so there are a lot of

different things that you can do of

course

you can create your own games as well

let’s start with the basic definition

the basic definition of the verb beat is

to hit repeatedly to hit something

repeatedly examples he was beaten until

he was unconscious I have to beat the

dust out of this blanket let’s talk

about the conjugations of this verb now

present beat beats past beat past

participle beaten progressive beating

let’s talk about some additional

meanings for this verb the first

additional meaning is to defeat to

defeat some examples I think spider-man

could beat Batman in a fight

our team has never been beaten so in

both of these examples sentences we see

beat meaning defeat in the first example

sentence I think spider-man could beat

Batman

it means spider-man could beat Batman in

a fight that’s kind of the implied the

suggested meaning of this sentence

spider-man could beat Batman equals

spider-man could defeat Batman

spider-man would be better than Batman

spider-man would win in a fight against

Batman spider-man would beat Batman in

the second example sentence our team has

never been beaten it means our team has

never been defeated our team has never

lost our team has won every match every

game we have ever played our team has

never been beaten so no defeats pretty

great so this is one meaning to defeat

something okay let’s go on to the second

additional meaning for this verb the

second additional meaning for this verb

is to act before something else happens

examples let’s beat the crowds and get

tickets for the afternoon movie I left

the house early to beat rush-hour

traffic okay so both of these examples

show one action happening before some

other like negative thing we want to

avoid in the first example sentence it’s

about avoiding like big crowds of people

at a movie theater so let’s beat the

crowds is the expression that’s used

there so beat the crowds doesn’t mean

like hit the crowds of people it means

take action to do something before the

crowd of people arrives and that action

will be to see the afternoon movie so

let’s beat the crowds means let’s do

something before this crowd of people in

the second example sentence it’s I left

the house early to beat the rush hour

traffic we see rush-hour traffic is the

thing to beat so again it doesn’t mean

hitting rush-hour traffic it means doing

something in this case leaving

the house early to beat in order to

avoid rush-hour traffic

so we’re doing something before this

other negative thing happens so in these

examples it’s a large crowd of people

and rush-hour traffic so we do something

to avoid that thing to do something

before that thing happens okay let’s go

on to the third meaning for this verb

the third meaning for this verb is to be

more enjoyable than something else to be

more enjoyable than something else

examples enjoying some Sun on the beach

sure beats working in an office relaxing

at home beats spending the day shopping

so both of these example sentences

present two ideas one of which is better

than the other in the first example

sentence enjoying the Sun on the beach

beats or is better than is more

enjoyable than working in an office in

the second example sentence relaxing at

home beats or is more enjoyable than

spending the day shopping so we’re

comparing two things and the thing that

is better we use beats just after that

so when you want to use this pattern you

can just say a beats B and where a is

better than B a is more enjoyable than

me the fourth meaning here is to have a

regular movement like to have a rhythmic

movement that is regular in some way

examples my heart was beating fast after

my run the birds wings beat the air in

the first example sentence my heart was

beating fast after my run it means the

rhythm of my heart the steady regular

rhythm of my heart was fast after my run

so the rhythm was constant but it was

quick so in the second example sentence

about the bird’s wings it’s this motion

the bird’s wings beat the air so there’s

a rhythmic a steady motion happening

the birds wings beat the air meaning

it’s always it’s like going regularly

here so we can see this use of beat as

well to refer to a regular kind of

rhythmic motion

let’s move on to some variations and how

we can use this then the first variation

is to beat someone to something to beat

someone to something means to do

something before someone else so it kind

of has that meaning of defeat that we

talked about before examples I was gonna

book tickets for the show but you beat

me to it all my coworkers beat me to the

office this morning

so in these expressions beat me to

something mean someone did something

before me in the first example sentence

I was gonna book tickets for the show we

see the past tense I was gonna I was

going to book tickets for the show but

you beat me to it

so this is quite common you beat me to

it means you did that thing I just

talked about before me so I plan to do

it but you did it before me you beat me

to it this is quite a common expression

to use in the second example sentence

all my co-workers beat me to the office

this morning it means all my co-workers

got to the office before me this morning

so when you want to talk about someone

doing something before you you can say

they beat me to the office keep in mind

though that this kind of has the nuance

a little bit of competition like there’s

something that you want to do before

someone else like there’s a little bit

of a competitive feel with this

expression okay

let’s go on to the second variation here

the next variation is beat yourself up

to beat yourself up this means to be

very negative or critical about yourself

often for no reason or not for a big

reason example don’t beat yourself up it

was just a small mistake

I think he’s really beating himself up

for declining that job offer okay

in the first example sentence don’t beat

yourself up this is a very common

expression it means don’t be so negative

about yourself in this case we followed

this expression with it was just a small

mistake so in other words it’s not a big

problem don’t beat yourself up don’t be

so negative to yourself for such a small

mistake in the second example sentence I

think he’s really beating himself up for

declining that job offer

it means he’s thinking really really

negatively about his decision he’s

thinking about himself critically like

oh it wasn’t a good idea I shouldn’t

have done that he’s really down maybe

disappointed in himself for declining

the job offer though maybe it’s not a

big deal it’s not an important situation

so he doesn’t need to beat himself up or

he is beating himself up about it in

this case so he’s upset

in other words but maybe he doesn’t need

to be

let’s begin with the basic definition of

this verb the basic definition of carry

is to move while holding or supporting

something examples can you carry this

bag I always carry a pen okay let’s look

at the conjugations for this verb

present carry carries past carried past

participle carried progressive carrying

now let’s talk about some additional

meanings for this verb the first

additional meaning is to move a person

or an object from one place to another

examples veins carry blood throughout

the body the bus carried the children to

school so here we see objects and people

being moved from one place to another

through or via or by something else and

we use the verb carry to describe them

in the first example sentence veins

carry blood throughout the body veins

are the like you can see them on your

arm usually blue colored they’re the

kind of like pipes I guess you could say

like imagine them as pipes that carry

blood so blood travels through the body

through these veins so we can say veins

carry blood through the body so veins

are the method through which blood moves

throughout the body so veins are

carrying the blood we kind of can

imagine in that way they’re caring

they’re responsible for carrying the

blood so we can say that veins are kind

of responsible for moving blood around

the body we can use the verb carry to

explain them in the second example

sentence the bus carried the kids to

school the bus is the method of

transport for the kids so the kids are

moving from one place to another place

the bus is the method of movement so the

bus carried the kids to school we can

use carry to talk about this

transportation the second additional

meaning is to have a gene or illness

examples rodents are known to carry

rabies some people carry diseases they

don’t know about in the first example

sentence we see rodents are known to

carry rabies

so rodents are like small like rats or

mice those kinds of dirty sort of

creatures wild creatures rabies is a

disease a serious illness like causes

you to behave strangely in your body has

really strange problems too I won’t talk

about rabies that much not so important

here but rodents are known to carry

rabies so the

like the biological parts the things

that cause rabies that carry that

illness rodents are known to carry so it

doesn’t mean carry like a backpack

really but carry a gene or carry an

illness carry a sickness inside the body

in this case rodents are known to carry

the sickness that is rabies inside their

bodies in a second example sentence some

people carry diseases they don’t know

about it means some people have diseases

in their body but they don’t know about

the disease so you can imagine like we

carry the disease we hold it in our body

and we move around but we don’t know

about it we use the verb carry to talk

about this let’s move on to the third

meaning the third additional meaning is

to make something a success to make

something a success examples his

leadership carried the team through a

difficult time

her performance carries the show so in

both of these examples we see that

someone carried something so someone

caused something to be successful

because of their actions or because of

their leadership as we see in the first

example sentence so his leadership

carried the team through a difficult

time means the team was successful in a

difficult time because of his leadership

but we used the verb carry to mean that

so we can kind of imagine that this one

person in this case his leadership his

leadership and his abilities to be a

good leader in other words were kind of

the thing that carried the team so we

can imagine the whole team is on top of

this one guy’s leadership skill so he is

responsible for making the team a

success in a difficult time so we use

carry to explain that in the second

example sentence her performance carried

the show it means her performance was so

good it was so important that the show

was a success because of it so without

her performance maybe the show would not

have been successful but her performance

was really really good

her performance made the show a success

her performance carried the show

the fourth meaning of this verb is to

reach a distance to reach a distance

this can be like sound or it can be

something physical some examples of this

the sound of the Thunder carried 20

kilometers ash from the volcano carried

into the air so here we’re not actually

carrying a physical object in the first

example sentence it’s sound traveling so

the sound of thunder carried 20

kilometers it means we were able to hear

the sound of thunder 20 kilometers away

from the source so the sound carried in

other words we use carry to refer to

sound traveling a distance in the second

example sentence ash from the volcano

carried into the air

it means the ash from the volcano moved

into the air we could even say like the

ash from the volcano carried into the

next city for example so it travelled

into the next city it traveled some

distance but we can use Kari to talk

about that as well

let’s move on to some variations for

this verb so the first variation is to

get carried away to get carried away

this means to get too excited or too

involved in something usually it has

like a positive meaning we get carried

away because we’re excited about

something but let’s look at some

examples first I got a little carried

away baking last night he got carried

away listening to music both of these

examples are pretty innocent in the

first example sentence we see I got a

little carried away baking last night

it’s like I baked too much last night

the idea is that I was too excited about

my baking and I baked too much or maybe

I stayed up too late making something I

got carried away with it I did too much

of it because I was so interested in

this thing in the second example

sentence he got carried away listening

to music it maybe means he spent too

much time listening to music maybe he

forgot to do his homework or he forgot

to go to work or he was late for work or

something because he was carried away he

was so interested in listening to music

he forgot something or he did too much

of it in other words so this generally

just means that you’re too excited about

something or too involved in something

so it can have a positive meaning the

next variation is to carry over to carry

over means to continue into the next

period to continue into the next period

examples unused data will carry over

into the next month

my airline miles carried over into this

year so these two expressions both use

like points or miles or some kind of

data in the first example sentence it’s

like a mobile phone contract unused data

will carry over into the next month if

for example I have one gig of data

available on my mobile phone every month

but I only use 500 megabytes I have 500

megabytes remaining

that’s my unused data that amount

carries over to the next month that

means I have one gigabyte plus 500

megabytes of data to use in the next

month so carry over means that amount

continues to the next period we see the

same thing in the second example

sentence my airline miles carried over

into this year meaning my airline miles

from the previous year

carried over or continued into this year

so maybe I didn’t use those miles last

year but they continued into this year

and I can still use them so carrying

over means continuing something we see

it a lot in like credit card contracts

or like mileage plans or data plans

anything with data points numbers we

might see that sort of thing if you’ve

studied your target language but you can

barely understand native speakers you

might be doing something wrong you know

the vocabulary and grammar they’re using

but for some reason when they speak at a

faster speed you can’t keep track of

what’s going on why is this happening

have you spent all this time learning in

vain this is a common issue that all

language learners face at some point or

another

the truth is it’s actually a good

problem to have because only students

with a higher level of skill will

experience it when you know a lot of the

language but have trouble understanding

native speakers the problem is almost

always with your listening skills

learning what words mean and practicing

how to use them in a sentence are both

invaluable skills to develop but people

often forget that in addition to

speaking writing and reading we have to

develop our listening skills in a

foreign language as well in this video

we’ll look at three practical ways to

improve your listening skills

number one practice active listening one

of the best ways to practice listening

is to well listen to your target

language but this doesn’t mean putting

on some music and listening to it in the

background as you do other things you

need to practice active listening get

your hands on a recording of spoken

language you can use a movie news

broadcast or a podcast you can even try

subscribing to a YouTube channel listen

to a segment of the audio and do your

best to write down what you hear after a

couple tries at this go back and double

check what you wrote against the script

of what was actually said if you’re

watching a movie you can double check

yourself by turning on the subtitles our

language learning program is one of the

best tools for developing your listening

skills you can listen to the

conversation in a lesson and then check

it back against the lesson transcripts

this is simple easy and you can be sure

that the transcripts are correct number

to practice pronunciation

any problems you have pronouncing new

words correctly will be reflected back

in your listening skills it’s hard for

your brain to decipher and remember a

sound be it a letter or a word that you

don’t know how to make yourself a good

accent will give you the ability to hear

and pick out the otherwise unnatural new

sounds to develop your accent focus on

any sounds or letters that feel

difficult or unnatural for you once you

get more comfortable with the basic

sounds start to combine them using words

and whole sentences listen to native

speakers as much as possible and take

note of how words and sounds can blend

morph or get dropped in rapid speech do

your best to listen to this phenomenon

and imitate what you hear focus more on

how the syllables are said together

rather than simply saying the words next

to each other there is often a

significant difference between how words

are said individually and how they are

said when spoken together in a

rapid-fire sentence this is a big part

of the reason language learners can know

a lot of vocabulary and grammar but

still not understand native speakers our

playback feature is great for

pronunciation practice you can playback

the podcast itself or listen to words

individually you

even listen back at a slower speed if

you’re having trouble catching the

correct pronunciation as a native

speaker speed number three make

listening part of your routine now that

you’ve started practicing active

listening and pronunciation make it a

part of your regular learning a lot of

specific amount of time for each of your

listening activities for example you

might practice ten minutes of active

listening followed by ten minutes of

practicing vowels and then ten minutes

of imitation practice with a podcast now

you don’t have to use this schedule

exactly tailor it to your own needs and

availability the point is that you

should make a conscious and decisive

effort to practice your listening skills

on a regular basis it could be 30

minutes a day or it might be 10 what

matters most is that you practice

consistently these three tips will help

you close any gap that might exist

between your knowledge of your target

language and your listening abilities

understanding native speakers may seem

daunting at first but with a little time

and perseverance you will see your

skills improve few things are more

discouraging than putting in the work

and effort to learn a foreign language

only to not use it for a while and

forget a large part of what you studied

once you have a good handle on a

language it’s not hard to practice it so

that it stays in the forefront of your

mind in this video we’ll take a look at

five practical ways you can make your

target language a part of your daily

life so that you don’t forget it number

one use language exchanges the idea

behind a language exchange is that you

find someone who fluently speaks your

target language and is also interested

in learning your native language during

the exchange you spend half the time

speaking in the language you’re learning

and the other half in the language

they’re learning this kind of exchange

is a great way to practice your speaking

skills and cement the material you’ve

learned into your brain one great thing

about practicing through a language

exchange is that your language partner

is a fellow language learner they will

be able to sympathize with your

struggles and even give you some

insightful tips from their own personal

experience most major cities will have

at least one meetup or language club

where you can practice languages with

people from around the world

but sometimes it can be hard to find

people who speak the language you’re

learning if you can’t find a local

exchange or if there are no native

speakers in your city you can connect

with native speakers through online

language exchanges there are numerous

free sites that allow you to search for

users based on country and language and

have a text audio or video practice

session number two

immerse yourself digitally most phones

laptops and apps will allow you to

change the language of their interface

why not change it to your target

language this simple change may seem

small but it can actually be an

effective way to reinforce your use of

the language your language skills are

like a muscle if you use them on a

regular basis then your skill in the

language will be in good shape the more

you use your language skills the easier

will be to remember things however if

you go for long stretches without using

the language then you might have a

problem those linguistic muscles will

start to get weak before too long and

you’ll notice a drop in your language

ability simply changing the language on

your electronic devices won’t equate to

any heavy lifting in a foreign language

but it could be comparable to a warm-up

or a quick workout remember that you

probably use electronic devices everyday

if you can use at least some of that

time thinking in your target language

while using them each week that adds up

to a huge amount of time and can keep

your knowledge fresh number three teach

others a language you don’t have to be

an expert in a new language to lend a

hand to another language learner helping

a beginner through the language will not

only make you feel good about helping

someone out it will also help you use

the language and keep your skills sharp

remember those language exchanges we

talked about well what if you looked for

other learners so that you could help

them in the language don’t worry if you

don’t feel qualified to teach the

language they’re not looking to get

their PhD in linguistics most likely a

new learner would appreciate someone

who’s been down the road before someone

to show them some common pitfalls and

shortcuts have you ever been a complete

newbie in something had been graciously

helped by someone with more experience

pay it forward and be that expert to

someone else your language muscles will

thank you for it

number four keep a journal or blog

writing out your thoughts in a foreign

language is one of the best ways to

sharpen your skills it forces you to

take time to construct sentences and it

will reveal your weak points very

quickly journaling is also one of the

easiest and cheapest ways to practice

all you need is a pen and a notebook if

you’re not the journaling type don’t

worry you don’t have to write an

autobiography simply recounting your day

or describing an experience will be

enough to get your language juices

flowing the entries can be long but they

don’t have to be this exercise is

flexible and can take any shape you want

try writing short daily entries you can

even post them online for native

speakers to correct this way you can

hold yourself accountable and write

regularly

there are several free sites that allow

you to post an entry and have it

reviewed by native speakers number five

entertain yourself in the language books

movies YouTube videos language learning

websites music the list goes on there’s

an endless supply of media out there so

you’re likely to find something that

interests you in your target language

whether you love sports rock music or

sewing you’re sure to find something to

entertain you in your target language

learning a language is hard but

remembering it doesn’t have to be these

ideas are here to help jumpstart your

brain these aren’t the only ways to

practice your target language either do

your best to use the language on a daily

basis and make it a part of your

everyday life remember all languages

aren’t just spoken there lived the fear

of making mistakes is one of the biggest

roadblocks to language learning out of

all the discomforts that come with

learning a foreign language

nothing looms quite as daunting in the

mind of a beginner it’s almost as if

we’re hardwired to want perfection when

we speak however the reality is that

mistakes are unavoidable in fact

mistakes are an integral part of the

learning process think of small children

who are just starting to learn language

they mispronounce words they use words

incorrectly and their grammar isn’t very

good

sometimes they even make up their own

words research shows that this is all a

natural part of the process if making

mistakes made up such a huge part of

learning our native language why do you

expect it to be any diff

when learning a foreign one in this

video we’ll talk about six ways you can

benefit from your mistakes while

learning language number one be humble

there’s no room for pride when you’re

learning a new language if you’re a

beginner native speakers will likely be

very accommodating with your mistakes

and slower reaction times during

conversations there’s no reason to be

embarrassed remember that it’s a sign of

respect to learn another person’s

language no one expects you to speak

flawlessly right from the start no one’s

going to hold your mistakes against you

so make sure you don’t either number two

don’t play the comparison game whether

it’s a native speaker or another person

learning the language don’t make the

mistake of comparing your progress to

someone else’s no doubt at the beginning

there will be times when it feels like

everyone is speaking perfectly and

you’re left in the dust but try not to

get discouraged

it’s your race to run not theirs

everyone has their own story their own

reason and their own method for learning

comparing your progress to someone

else’s progress is like comparing apples

and oranges it’s easy to stress out when

someone speaks perfectly while you’re

struggling to make the most basic

sentences but don’t forget that while

you can easily see someone else’s

success you’re much less likely to see

the hard work that got them there every

speaker you meet had to learn the

language at some point whether it was as

a child or as an adult they too had to

wade through their mistakes before they

could speak fluently number three get

feedback on your mistakes anytime you

write or speak your target language try

to get feedback from someone who speaks

that language you can make mistakes day

and night but if they’re never corrected

they do you no good if you can’t learn

from a mistake or if you don’t know that

it’s a mistake it won’t help you many in

the language learning community hold

that feedback is an integral part of the

language acquisition process encourage

friends and language partners to correct

your speaking any time all the time

worst case scenario you’ll make a

mistake 100 times and get corrected 100

times it might seem frustrating but it’s

all worth it on the 100 first time when

you finally remember your mistake and

start speaking correctly some mistakes

will be easy to fix and you’ll adjust

your speaking right away

others might take a while speaking a

foreign language is a little bit like

juggling there are a lot of moving

pieces you have to keep in place whether

it’s pronunciation grammar or vocabulary

getting feedback on your effort will

help refine your language skills until

you feel comfortable in the language

number 4 listen to your brain after all

the practice and feedback eventually

you’ll start to notice that certain

words come to mind without having to

think about them instead of having to

scan your brain for the latest new

vocabulary word you begin to

instinctively come up with a word for a

given sentence don’t hesitate to blurt

this word out sometimes it will be

completely wrong other times it will be

dead-on when words start coming to mind

instinctively that means your brain is

starting to get more and more used to

using a new language the incorrect words

are sort of like growing pains you’ll

have them for a little while but over

time you’ll encounter them less and less

until all of your instinctual words are

correct so don’t let the fear of making

a mistake short-circuit your brains

natural learning process go with

whatever word your brain gives you

number 5 never take the easy way out if

there are two ways to say what you want

to say in your target language one you

know and are comfortable with and the

other you’re not sure of use the one

you’re least comfortable with purposely

choose subjects and sentence

constructions that are difficult for you

don’t get complacent and fall into the

trap of using the same phrase over and

over again or having the same type of

conversation with a language partner you

always want to push your language skill

boundaries to stretch them even further

number six

enjoy the language for its own sake

small children not only make a ton of

mistakes when they learn to speak they

also have a ton of fun to them life and

language are both giant mysterious

adventures they aren’t worried about

making progress impressing people or

speaking perfectly take a note from

their playbook enjoy the language as you

learn it let your focus be on the beauty

and magic of the language savor the

times you get to use it if you loosen up

and enjoy the ride you’ll learn much

faster mistakes are powerful and

indispensable part of learning a

language we hope this video inspires you

embracing them are you improving how to

are you improving how to assess your

language skills so have you ever

wondered am I actually improving with my

target language feeling like you’re not

improving can hurt your motivation on

the flip side if you notice yourself

understanding more of the language than

before you can feel good and that can

fuel your motivation to keep going but

it’s not easy to spot your improvement

it’s tricky with language it’s not like

going to the gym where you can see your

muscles in the mirror this is where

assessment comes in

what’s assessment the easiest example of

assessment is a test if you go to a

language class you’ll get a test on the

first day the goal of the assessment

test is to understand where your

language level is and any test after

that is a way to see how much you’ve

improved this is ongoing assessment so

assessment is checking where you are now

and how far you’ve come with your

language learning assessment lets you

see where you’ve improved and helped you

find what you need to work on if you’re

serious about learning a language it’s

one of the best things you can do to

stay on track stay motivated correct

your mistakes and reach fluency but

assessing yourself is also hard if

you’re learning on your own so what can

you do here’s how you can assess your

language skills whether you’re learning

with our program or not number one if

you’re a Premium Plus user retake the

assessment test technically you can only

take this once but if you get in touch

with our support team we’ll give you the

link if you’re using any other resource

find a way to test yourself look for

practice tests apply for a proficiency

test take online quizzes anything that

forces you to test your language skills

number two revisit old lessons an easier

way to self assess your language level

is to revisit old lessons you can do

this with any program you’re learning

with if you’ve truly made progress then

you should be able to understand the

lesson dialogues with no problem if not

then you know that you need to review

them some more number three try harder

lessons also something you can do with

any language resource if you’re using

our program try lessons from a higher

level if you’re a lower intermediate try

upper intermediate lessons if you don’t

understand anything that’s fine

but if you do then that’s a good sign

that you’ve improved and are ready for

harder lessons number four for reading

see where your current level is you’ll

made progress and are ready to go to the

next level

number six for writing try and copy out

three try harder lessons or use our

extensive reading books for reading five

说嗨 Alicia 我' 我注意到了一些

使用 AZ 加副词加

AZ 的表达，例如，一旦你能告诉

我我可以使用的副词

，并解释所有相关内容，当然

可以，首先让我们看

一下你可以使用它的几个基本方法 模式，

所以我们稍后再讨论，因为它有点

不同，但我们可以使用 AZ 加副词

加 AZ 或 AZ 加形容词加 AZ 来

表示某事 等于

其他东西 例如 Sarah sing

as beautiful as Kim Jeff 和 Dave 一样高，

所以这些例子意味着人

a 和人 B

在第一个例句中的某些方面是相等的

Sarah and Kim

在第二个例子中唱得一样漂亮 句子 Jeff and

Dave has equal Heights so as plus

adjective 或 as plus adverb plus AZ

指的是在某种程度上相等的两件事，

所以这是一种使用方式，

只要你的例子

与我们使用的有点不同

表示将执行一项操作或一项

操作将在

另一项操作之后

立即发生，例如，您喝完酒后立即离开，这

意味着一项操作将

在另

一项操作完成后立即离开，因此我们将离开

一旦你喝完你的酒意味着

我们会

在你喝完之后立即离开，所以这

有点不同，我们不是用它来

进行比较或说某

事 ing 等于其他东西

这是一种集合表达式，这

意味着紧跟在其他

东西之后 另一个使用 this

as plus something plus as 模式的表达式

只要，只要，只要意味着

只有当例如我可以去

派对只要我完成我的作业 所以

另一种说法是我

只能在我完成作业的

情况

下参加派对

这样做另一种模式

是很少和很少，

当我们想要强调

少量的东西时，我们会使用它

课堂上只有六个人

参加了这个课程，所以这意味着

像六个或六十个或任何数字

与预期相比可能是一个很小的数量，

所以我们使用尽可能

少或尽可能少来表示

保持 请注意，这样做

对不可数名词或可数名词并不重要，

另一方面，

当你想谈论

大量事情时，你可以使用尽可能多的东西

来做到这一点，例如，多达

1,000 人自愿参加了该活动

或多达 60 名学生参加

比赛以赢得比赛，这样就

强调了比预期更多或可能更多的

事情发生或

发生的次数与另一个

表达方式

一样多 使用比多达我们可以使用多达指东西，等于我谈到了在最开始这个答案，因为在她的收入一样多像他那样或者像他那样，使指她喝同样多的酒

等量的东西，我们

也可以用它来谈论我们喜欢的

活动或

我们感受到的活动，例如，他喜欢

做饭，就像他喜欢看

电影一样，表达平等，

还有其他 o 一种奇怪的用法

as much 是一个例子，

就像我喜欢办公室里的新人一样，

我不认为他会在

公司呆太久，或者我

想去那个新人 餐厅 我

这周没有预算，所以

尽管我很喜欢那个新人，或者即使我真的很喜欢那个新人，但我

看不到他 在公司呆了很

长时间或类似的东西，所以我们

在一个子句的开头使用尽可能多的

意思，尽管或即使，所以

这是对一些

非常常见的东西的快速介绍，比如模式

，其中一些使用副词，但我 希望

这有助于回答您的问题

非常感谢

好的，让我们继续您的下一个

问题 下一个问题来自 amar

嗨 amar amar 说，嗨，艾丽西亚

，这些日复一日和日复一日

的分分秒秒之间有什么区别 按小时和

按小时是的，有一些不同

首先让我们看看其中的一组

让我们逐日逐

小时逐分钟查看我们使用这些

表达方式来表示某

事逐渐发生某事可能

会逐渐变化某种条件或状态

在一段时间内逐渐变化

所以对于 例如，她日复一日地

完成她的项目，直到它完成或一

分钟一分钟她变得越来越饿，一个

小时又一个小时他

越来越担心，所以这些

表达中的每一个都显示了经过了多少时间，

就像那个时间的长度一样

第一个例句中的activity

day by day 这意味着她在

她的项目上工作了几天在

第二个例句中在

几分钟内

她变得越来越饥饿在

第三个例句中的一个

小时内他得到越来越多 担心，所以我们

使用这种模式来显示

某物的逐渐进展或某物的

逐渐变化，我们可以使用

您

在当天介绍的第二种模式 r 按小时或按

分钟来做，但我们需要

稍微改变句子，例如，她的

项目在她变得越来越饥饿的那一天取得进展，而

他每小时变得

越来越担心，所以当

你使用这个时

您需要确保句子的主题

是正在发生变化的事物，

因此在某些情况下，正在

发生变化的事物可能与

正在做这个活动的人分开

尤其是第一个例句的情况，

当我使用那个

日常模式时，我

说她每天都在她的项目上工作，直到

它完成，这很好，但是当我

使用这个日常模式时，我需要

做的事情是 改变

我句子的主题，所以在这种情况下，

她的项目每天都在进步，

这意味着她的项目正在改变的事情在

进步，这意味着它

每天都在向前推进，

所以我个人不太使用这个模式

吨 我想我可能会更常用地使用第一种风格

，我对这个问题的回答的最后一点是

关于第二组表达方式，

当我们谈论

商品或服务的价格时，我们可以使用这些表达方式，所以

让我们想象一下

租用办公空间

按天租用办公空间 70 美元 按分钟租用办公

空间 20 美分

每小时租用办公空间

10 美元 所以我们按分钟或

按小时或按小时租用 一天或

一周也许在某些情况下，您是否会

谈论某时间段的价格，

所以

如果您再次喜欢租用空间或者您

需要购买一些商品或服务或

其他东西以及可用价格，您可能会看到这一点 是以

时间为单位的，所以这是另一种情况

，你可能会看到这个，所以我希望

这个答案能帮助你非常

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 van anh hi van on Van anchez 我' 我

很困惑 ut

报告语音中时间副词的转换

例如规则说今天需要

变成那天明天

变成第二天，昨天变成

前天为什么这也是为什么

学习英语作为

第二语言的人需要 了解

母语者的报告演讲以及直接和间接演讲 不要嗯

第一个问题

演讲是鸡

保姆您的

对话与当前

时间点之间的关系例如，如果您和

我在开始录制此视频之前进行了对话，

讨论了我们

未来两天的计划，然后我

想报告 第二天给我们共同的

朋友，所以明天现在我会说，

嘿，我昨天和范谈过，或者范

昨天告诉我这件事，或者我

想和你谈谈明天的解放军 n

我昨天和范谈过这件事，

所以重要的是那个对话之间的关系

，你报告

某事的对话和你所指的实际对话

，所以这种

关系才是最重要的，所以我

不会像下一个那样说 我会

说明天，因为这是很自然的

，如果

它就像过去的东西，

或者明天或昨天不容易使用，那么使用第二天是很自然的，

所以如果我们考虑一个

不同的例子，比如如果我想

谈论 两周前发生的一次会议，

然后我可能会在那天

或第二天使用，例如，我可以

说那天我的经理说我的

项目在第二天取得了巨大成功，

所以那天我得到了晋升

指的是会议当天，

所以也许我不需要

具体说明，那么第二天指的是会议之后的第二天，

在这种情况下我不能使用明天，因为明天

只是参考当天 ter the

present 所以明天有一个非常具体的

用法 第二天是指

故事中的第二天，所以我们不能松散地使用明天或

昨天，我们可以使用

第二天或前一天或前一天

来谈论像过去一样 事件甚至

未来事件也是如此，但是明天

今天和昨天非常

受限制，所以我们

对那些我们需要在

提到当前时间点时使用的那些非常严格，

所以请记住这一点，所以不要

担心 就像遵循

以这种方式报道演讲的特定规则一样

想想你与

你现在

正在进行的对话以及你正在报道的对话的关系，

这在这里很重要，

这样随着时间和练习以及是否有帮助，这将变得更容易

您

可能会在

尝试考虑如何报告

演讲时查看日历，它可能会帮助您

想象如何以

最佳方式解释有关您的第二个问题

母语的事情 kers 确实学习了报告

演讲和报告，例如间接和

直接演讲，我们只是自然地学习它，

因为说任何语言的人都会这样做，所以这

是每个人都需要学习的东西，每个人都在

使用我希望这

对你有帮助，谢谢你的问题，好吧，

让我们继续前进 你的下一个问题下一个

问题来自哈利勒你好

哈利勒哈利勒说你好艾丽西亚我如何

更好地发音 P 和 B

像可能负责任的紫色

背包洗澡路径等等啊你

已经知道这些字母是

这些声音 对你来说具有挑战性，

所以下一步真的是练习我

会说，当你练习

发音时——如果这是

你无法完全掌握的事情，就像你

觉得你正在努力但

你不能完全做到 声音 试着

在镜子前练习一下

，看看母语人士

是如何说这些

声音的 g 但

你想真正看到有人发出

这些声音，并试着让你的嘴

做出与母语人士相同的动作，

所以一开始这可能会让人觉得有点

不舒服，就像我

和我的学生一起教发音课时，

他们会觉得有点不舒服 或者

他们笑，因为我们必须

在英语中使用他们在母语中不使用的相似声音，这对他们

来说感觉很

奇怪，所以如果感觉奇怪

，那没关系，就像试着让自己

发出一个新的声音，例如当

你 ‘正在制作一个 ound puff 你

需要非常喜欢将你的嘴唇拉到 mmm

发出那个声音所以你

不能用 B 声音安装位置做一个和平 ound

所以它听起来

像但你需要做一个手势排序

of 或嘴巴的动作，

所以试着在镜子前练习

，看看你是否可以让你的嘴巴

动作与母语人士的动作相匹配

，如果你在

发音整个单词时遇到困难，比如

可能一次性尝试breakin 将它分解成

音节，然后尝试

将音节如此巧妙地连接在一起，

或者像 Probab 这样的东西，

把单词分解，直到

你觉得自己发音

正确，所以我希望这

对你的发音有帮助，祝你好运

研究 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

问题来自凤凰 嗨凤凰

凤凰说嗨 Alicia 我是来自

越南的凤凰 你能解释一下

酒吧酒吧啤酒俱乐部和啤酒花园之间的区别

吗 谢谢一百万 酒吧

是供应酒精饮料的地方

酒吧可以很随意，也可以很

豪华，也许他们有一些小吃，

但通常小吃可能像坚果

或干果之类的

东西，所以酒吧

通常是酒鬼的主要场所 酒吧

酒吧更像是一个休闲场所

酒吧就是啤酒，

你可以在酒吧里买到食物 它通常

不是超级健康 它通常

像油炸食品或肉类，或者可能是炖菜

之类的东西，所以这通常

很像

在酒吧里做的丰盛的家常菜 啤酒俱乐部 a 啤酒俱乐部

不是我们至少在我们身上拥有的东西

这不是我们

在英语中真正使用的词 这根本不是

我们在英语中使用的词

单独的啤酒俱乐部 可以

指一群人聚在一起

喝啤酒，或者他们可能有

某种会员制度，他们 交换

啤酒我不知道，

所以可能是

你们俱乐部的人一起享用啤酒

我们确实有啤酒吧这个词

，它指的是某种类型的酒吧

，只供应特色啤酒，所以这

就是一个啤酒吧，你可能 也听到

啤酒酒吧这个词，它就像一个更

休闲的啤酒吧最后一个啤酒花园是

一个外面的地方，通常它就像一个

节日或其他类型的活动

，人们可以在外面喝啤酒，所以

它就像你听起来的那样

通常可以在

外面的草地上喝啤酒，所以这

被称为啤酒花园 我希望这

对你有帮助 非常感谢

来自希腊的 Elektra 的问题，你

能不能向我们解释一下 gerron’s 确定

gerund 是 ing 形式的动词 s o

以这种方式使用它使其成为名词 我们

可以将其用作句子中的名词，

例如她喜欢烹饪或他讨厌

徒步旅行，所以在这些句子

中，以 ing 结尾的词在第一句中是动名词，

在第二句中烹饪

徒步旅行我们可以使用 jaren’s 和

动词的不定式有时

可以互换使用，所以动词

的不定式是 2 加上动词的基本形式，

例如她喜欢做饭或他

喜欢徒步旅行一个非常常见的问题是

我什么时候使用 动名词我什么时候使用

不定式，问题

很大，在这个系列中回答太大

了，原因是有许多

不同的动词组倾向于

采用 jaren’s 或倾向于采用

不定式，但到处都有

例外 这个地方因此为 jaren 或

专门为不定式制定规则或指南非常具有挑战性，

因此这是

对动名词的快速介绍它是一个

动词，带有 ING 结尾并

用作名词 n in a sentence 我希望

这对你有帮助 非常感谢你的

问题 好的让我们继续你的下一个

问题 下一个问题来自 El

Hassan Ahmed 你好 al hassan al hassan

说我有时会听到人们说更好

而不是改进，好像它是 一个动词是

那么正式的

例如想想

如何让自己变得

更好

更好意味着

提高，是的，听起来确实

有点礼貌，有点正式，

比如你应该

提高自己 意味着以这种方式改进只是

确保您将其用作动词来回答

您的第二个问题，尽管更好，

因为您说“是”在语法上

不正确，而且您也是正确的，您

不能说他比我高

也是不正确的，所以

你可能会听到这样的话的

原因是，母语人士经常喜欢

故意犯语法错误，

听起来很有趣，听起来很幼稚，或者

喜欢开玩笑，所以一个非常流行

的说法是更好地使用表达方式

like 啊，那更好，听起来

有点可爱，就像一个没有

学习所有英语语法规则的孩子，

但他们可能会说得更好

而不是更好，所以这可能

是一种有人可以

开玩笑或只是尝试的方式 听起来更

友好或有点可爱

' 非常感谢

你的问题 我希望这对你有帮助

如果您谈论的

是错误的反面，就像

测试中的答案一样，正确和正确都

可以使用，

如果您谈论的是相反的，您可以使用它们中的任何一个

left 那么你必须使用 right 你

不能使用正确的，因为我们还

谈到了对

社会有益的事情 对这个词来说对社会有益的事情

我们不使用正确的词，

例如，如果你说 oh my gosh my

medical feeds from my 住院时间

太高了，这是不对的，

所以我们用“权利”来表示

不好或不公平，这

在我们的社会中不是一件好事，我们也

用“权利”这个词来表示

社会中的基本人类规则—— 因此，

例如在美国，人们有权

保持沉默，这

意味着人们在美国拥有的一项基本规则是

能够对某事保持沉默，

因此在

这种情况下我们不能使用正确，因此这些

是正确和 权利 我希望这

对你有帮助 谢谢你的问题 好的，

让我们继续你的下一个问题 下一个

问题来自 Mitch mitt mitt mitt

mitt mitt mitt mitt mitt 说嗨 Alicia

为什么母语人士不使用特定的

时间和礼物 完美，但他们确实

使用简单过去时的特定时间，

因为当我们使用现在完成时的基本

形式时，我们不会

关注过去特定动作

发生的时间，我们只想谈论那个

生活经历，所以时间点

发生的时间并不

重要，或者我们不知道，或者我们

不想关注这一点，例如我

去过法国，或者他在

这些情况下吃过寿司，无论出于何种原因，什么

时候发生并不重要，我们

只是想表达我们的生活经历，

所以我们不使用特定的

时间

点，

如果你

想用现在完成时

来谈论一个点，那么使用特定的时间点和现在完成时一样听起来很不自然 某件事

开始了，然后一直持续到

现在，你应该

使用 for 或 since ending 到它，例如

我从 2013 年起就住在法国，

或者他在 th 学了

三年英语 在某些情况下，我们需要

标记该动作或条件的起点，

因此我们确实使用特定

时间点让我们将其与

使用简单过去时进行比较，当我们使用

简单过去时时，我们想要

表达开始和结束的动作

过去，所以我们确实使用了一个特定

的时间点，例如我

去年夏天去了法国或者他

上周吃寿司，所以总而言之，如果你

想分享一般的生活经历

，如果你想谈论，请使用常规现在完成时

过去开始并一直持续到

现在的某事 使用现在完成时连续

，包括一个特定的时间点

，您的行为开始或开始的时间，

或者如果您

想谈论已经完成的

事情并且您想谈论您的状况开始的时间 谈论

发生那件事的具体点

使用简单的过去时，所以我

希望这对你有帮助非常感谢你

的问题好吧让我们继续你的

下一个问题下一个问题 on 来自

Late Jerry 嗨，迟到的 Jerry 迟到的 Jerry 说，

嗨 Alicia 最近很多人都在使用双重

否定这是一种

创新，我们可以使用它

吗？它在语法上是否正确，例如，不能没有

人告诉我没什么好问题，

是的，有些人

像现在这样对语法非常严格，从历史上看，

双重否定是

不正确的，或者他们认为这是

教育水平低下的标志或类似的东西，

但事实并非如此，双重否定

在英语中已经存在很长时间了

，现在也存在

英语双重否定或多重

否定的某些方言比

其他方言更常用，例如，

我在演讲中并没有真正使用双重否定，

但在美国的某些地区或

英格兰的某些地区，人们可能会使用

那种演讲 所以我建议

，如果它对你来说不自然，如果你

没有长大，如果它

不是你或你周围的人

经常使用的东西，它可能会

听起来 对你来说非常不自然，

所以你的例句是

cant nobody tell me nothing 这不是

我个人会使用的句子，但是

如果我想说的是，使用这种否定的不同英语方言的人可能会

句子 I would say something like

nobody can tell me anything that is how I

would say it 所以使用另一个句子

对我来说听起来很不自然

那种言语对我来说不自然

所以听起来可能

对我来说可能或冒犯我

如果你在一个双重否定很普遍的地方学习英语，那么你会说只是试着了解你周围的人，那么如果你只是尝试

一下，也许你也很自然地使用它

模仿你

在电视、音乐或媒体或类似的东西上听到的

东西，它可能听起来

很不自然，所以是的，它被使用了，是的，它

实际上出现在某些英语方言中，

但这并不意味着它

如果这种演讲对你来说很难理解，每个人都可以使用，

不用担心，这只是

语言学习的另一部分，这是

一些人用英语说话的特定方式，所以

虽然是的，但它确实与

传统语言相悖 语法规则 我想这

并不意味着交流

没有那么有效，所以试着记住这

一点，如果你

很难理解这样说话的人，

那没关系，只要通过时间和练习，

你就会逐渐了解

那句话是什么意思或说话

者实际上在说什么所以我希望这

对你有帮助非常

感谢赫卡比说的一个有趣的问题

艾丽西亚你好我是日本的一名大学生

我教老年学生英语作为

兼职工作之一 他们中的一个人问我

火与火是什么意思我猜这个人

在电影中听到了这句话你能

告诉我是什么意思是的，这

是成语的一部分，表达方式通常是

用火打火，那是 完整的

短语通常你也可能听到

过火与火相配或以火相迎

，但在大多数情况下，它是用

火与火搏斗，

这句话的意思是用与

对手相同的武器或相同的方法

与对手作战，所以有时

这 字面意思是

用相同的武器与某人战斗，但在大多数

情况下，它是一种特定

类型的比赛，并使用与

对手相同的方法

参加比赛，例如，如果

有人开始对你大喊大叫，你可以

以火攻毒

通过向他们大喊大叫，这样在这种情况下

就不会发生火灾，但是

郊游是您对手的武器或

攻击方法，因此如果您想

打架，则使用相同的方法并

大喊大叫，这样可以被视为

以火攻毒，您也可以

当您谈论

企业

之间或公司或行业之间的竞争（

例如公司 AI）时，听到这个用于类似的业务情况 s

今年在广告上花了很多钱，我们必须

以火攻毒，增加我们

自己的广告预算，所以这只是

意味着竞争或喜欢

用与他们对你使用相同的方法

或相同的武器来攻击或反对某人，

所以 再次，这通常

是以火攻毒，我希望这对你有帮助

，谢谢你的问题，好吧，让我们

继续你的下一个问题，下一个

问题来自 L Hasan Ahmed

你好，al hassan al hasan says what is

the difference 和 i don’t 知道那

是什么，我不知道那是什么，

例如，我不知道

它们之间有什么区别，我不

知道它们之间有什么区别，

好吧，区别在于第二个

例子是正确的第一个

示例不正确 这些是

所谓的嵌入式问题的示例，所以当

我们在陈述中有一个问题或者

我们在另一个

问题中有一个问题时，这些被称为嵌入式

问题嵌入式问题和 w 当我们

在嵌入问题中使用动词时，

它需要稍微不同的词序，

所以当我们使用动词 be 提出

直接问题时，我们会说

诸如厕所在哪里或

我的同事在哪里

，这是一个直接问题，但是当

我们使用间接问题或使用

嵌入式问题，我们必须

稍微改变词序，所以

我们必须说

诸如我不知道

洗手间在哪里而不是我的同事在哪里而不是厕所在哪里

-工作人员，我们可能会说，你

知道我的同事在哪里吗？所以在

这些例子中，动词

实际上移到了

句子的末尾或问题的末尾，

这对于这些

嵌入式问题风格的回答来说有点特殊 因此

，当您提出嵌入式问题时，请记住这一点，

它不跟随

您的问题词是在

句子的结尾处，对于 R 也是如此

，当然，如果您正在制作

过去时态陈述或过去 时

态 stions 但同样，这只是

动词，如果你使用任何其他

动词，你不需要担心这种

变化，所以如果它像说话、走路或

喝酒或任何你不需要

担心的事情，如果 你使用的是

动词，但是你确实需要

在句子中切换你的词序，所以

你的第二个例句是正确的，

所以我不知道那是什么是

正确的句子我不知道那是什么

当然不正确，如果您

不确定该怎么做，并且

您面临应该选择的情况，

这不是不礼貌

使用直接问题（例如

洗手间在哪里）并没有错，但听起来确实

更有礼貌 间接表达它

或使用嵌入式

问题，例如你知道洗手间在哪里，

这听起来更有礼貌，

所以如果你不确定你可以

使用直接问题没问题，

但一定要练习这些嵌入式

问题和

我们与动词 to be so 一起使用的特殊模式 我

希望这对你有帮助 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

来自高处 说你能

大致解释一下这个词

吗 非常感谢 好吧 我确定

大致意思 意味着大约或

大约，例如，

班级中

大约一半的

学生通过了考试 不要

在日常对话中大量使用它 在

我们使用 about 或

around 的日常对话中还有另一种用法，

但您可以将其

视为具有侵略性或

有点侵略性或

不精致的意思，例如，我的邻居

说话粗略但 他实际上是一个

好人，或者火车上的这个女人真的粗暴地推了我一下，

这很痛，所以在这些情况下，

粗略地意味着以一种侵略性的

方式有点侵略性 方式或

不精致的方式，所以当我们

以这种方式粗略地用作副词时，它的

意思是不精致，

当你用它来谈论它所代表的数量或数据时，它有点咄咄逼人，

所以

我希望这对你有帮助，谢谢

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 Patricia，你好

Patricia Patricia 说你好，Alicia，我喜欢

你的视频，谢谢，我的问题是

关于我什么时候去餐馆，

例如我不想在饮料中加冰

我怎么说不加冰或不加冰

谢谢，是的，我们会说不

加冰，所以如果你说不加冰，那

可能不是沟通问题，但

更自然的是我们会说不加冰，

请你可以用它来做

任何事情 一种特殊的订单，比如

没有番茄没有洋葱没有泡菜等等，

所以如果你不想要什么东西，在你不想要的东西

的名字之前使用 no，

我们有另一种表达方式

，我们在餐厅使用，

在旁边 在 例如，如果

您点一份沙拉，然后说我想要

旁边的调料，这意味着

您的沙拉和沙拉的调料或

浇头将分开来，

所以如果您没有在

旁边说餐厅 如果您要求将调料放在一边，工作人员可能

会将调料放在沙拉上

并为您服务，

但是您可以

选择在沙拉上放多少，

所以在这种

情况下，有些人喜欢沙拉要求的东西

分开送达你说

的一边你通常会得到一个单独的

盘子或一个单独的杯子或碗或

你的调味品或

任何你选择订购的东西所以

侧面是你可以使用的另一件事 在

餐馆里，最终与

这种情况相反，如果

你想要更多的东西，

你会使用额外的东西，比如额外的奶酪

或额外的培根或额外的

鳄梨，但请记住，当

你说额外的时候，你可能会

必须付钱 更重要的是，如果您喜欢

芝士汉堡，并且您说我

想要额外的鳄梨，这意味着

芝士汉堡上已经有鳄梨了，您

想要更多的鳄梨，那么您

可能需要为该鳄梨支付更多费用

但是您

在这个芝士汉堡上订购没有像没有番茄这样的成分

的东西没有折扣，所以

如果你

要求更少的东西，如果你要求

更多的东西，请不要指望折扣但是它可能

会花费你更多的钱，所以

也要保留 请记住，当菜肴中已经存在某些东西时，我们会使用额外的，

所以在我的示例中，它就像一个鳄梨

汉堡，汉堡上有鳄梨我

想要更多如果汉堡上没有鳄梨，我会说额外

我说

像我可以有一个 picado

请作为浇头，或者我可以添加鳄梨作为

浇头吗？我们可以使用其中一种

表达方式，所以我可以有一些东西作为

浇头，或者我可以添加一些我们可以

使用这两种模式之一的东西，所以

那些 回复一些与餐厅相关的表达方式

，希望对您有所帮助，谢谢

您的提问 好的，让我们继续

您的下一个问题 下一个问题

来自 will Jin 的 diss Samus hello will

jhin 的 will Jin 说 hi Alicia

借给和借给之间有区别吗

借是的，不同之

处在于观点，例如我借给我

朋友一支笔，而我朋友从我那里借一支

笔，所以当

给予对象的人是这句话的主语时，

我们使用借给接收的人

宾语是

我们借用的句子的主语，所以让我们

在我的例句中交换人，

所以我的朋友借给我一支笔，我

从我的朋友那里借了一支笔，所以

在这些情况下，给予宾语的人

是主语

句子当我使用借出时，

接收对象的人是动词借用时的主语，

所以

请记住这一点这种

关系，所以我给予或

接受这对我来说很重要

请记住，我知道一开始会有些

混乱，但是通过练习，您

会掌握它的窍门，您会习惯

的，

所以我希望这对您有所帮助

我

要谈谈带

后面的短语动词让我们先开始好吧我

想介绍一组四个动词，它们有

一个共同点，那就是

这四个动词都有向前移动的意思，

所以 如果您将汽车想象

成汽车的正面和背面，例如人的

正面和背面

如果您想象所有这些动词

的含义相同，即

在某个方向上做出运动，

但在后部

是像向前移动的部分，所以

我们通常走路时身体的这部分

向前移动，但是当我们向后移动时，

它意味着这个

方向，所以我们

向后移动，所以这四个动词都是

公司 我想先提一下

，我们稍后会谈到的

这些不包括那个意思，所以

这四个包括那个意思加上

一些介词，告诉我们

那个运动的方向和那个运动的

关系以及与

某事的关系 否则，考虑到这一点，

让我们看一下这四个

短语动词，这里的第一个短语动词是

back into back into so back into 意味着

后部向前移动是的，所以

这种运动加上移动到一个

空间 so to back into 你要

倒进一个封闭空间的东西，所以

想象一下用汽车，其中很多对汽车

使用非常有用，

所以一个例子就是

他倒退到停车位的那个他

倒退到停车场 空间，所以您

可以想象汽车后部的汽车倒车

进入停车

位，这意味着汽车的后部

首先进入停车位，因此我们

使用短语动词 back into 您会

在这里注意到 - t his 是过去

式 backed he backed in backed 作为

back 的过去形式所以他退回到

停车位告诉我们他

的汽车后部向前移动

到停车位 ok 所以现在让我们

看看相反的 这个是为了

退出某些东西，所以既然我们在这里

有过，我们之前已经进入过这向我们展示了这

是相反的方向，但是

我们不使用退出 - 我们使用

退出请小心这里退出所以

这个 意思是搬出一个空间

搬出一个空间 所以一个

例句可能是问题在这种

情况下你能不能从车库里

出来 你能不能从车库里出来 所以这又

意味着汽车的后部是

然而，向前移动而不是

进入一个空间，运动来自一个

空间，所以我们正在退出一个空间

，这意味着从一个房间内的位置

在这种情况下是车库，汽车的后部

首先移出车库，所以

退出某事以

退出车库或 back out of a parking

space 好吧，现在让我们

继续下一个短语动词 back on - back

on - 这与 back

in 或 back out to back on 完全不同，意思是当你再次在

某物的顶部向后移动

‘例如，你正在驾驶一辆汽车，

你可能会使用他

背靠在人行道上的表达，所以这意味着

汽车的后部

首先是我们的情绪，当它移动时，它会移动

到其他东西的顶部，所以会有移动和移动到

另一个东西 他倒退到

人行道上，或者他倒退到可能是

一辆自行车上，所以

向后移动并在其他东西上，

所以当你使用汽车或其他车辆时，这可能会发生在你身上，

所以让我们

继续下一个短语动词 这

是一个

短语动词，你可能会用更多的词来

谈论你的身体，你的身体的运动，而

不是汽车，所以这意味着

向后移动

到与其他东西相反的方向，所以我的意思是

有 也许不是 她的人或有

一些东西你想

远离你身体的后部再次

移动所以如果你

想象有类似的

东西在你面前

在你身体的前部前面你想要

离开它，但你

用你的身体保持这个方向 我们使用

短语动词 to back away from 来

谈论这样做，所以在例句中

他们远离火，所以你

想象有火，比如你在

露营 你以这种

方式移动你可以说你从

火中退了回来，所以退后可能

是你过去谈论你的

身体而不是谈论汽车的

事情，但这意味着与其他事物相反的方向移动

好的，那么让我们继续

接下来的三个不属于这个

组的与那种

向后运动有关的，实际上它们是非常

不同的，让我们首先

从这个表达开始 - 后退 -

后退，所以回到 o ff 表示将

自己从一个情境

中移开或在恐惧中移开，因此这是第

一个将自己从情境中移开的意思，这

通常是在回应一个人

卷入

您希望该人离开的情况时说的

情况，所以它通常用作

命令，例如后退，它意味着离开

或停止打扰我

，例如，也许你正在做一个项目，

有人试图来分享意见或

批评你的工作，或者你还

没有准备好你可以说

例如，我还在研究这个，所以

它经常被用来向某人发出命令，

实际上我们也用它来

表达恐惧，比如有人威胁

我们，或者我们害怕某事，我们

想离开 从

我们也可以使用回退的情况

来看，让我们看看这里的一个例子

，让我们处理这个问题，所以

这与批评有关，比如我们

不需要你参与，所以让我们处理

它 b的感觉 ack

off like we didn’t need you please go

away so to back up in this way we are

first you leave a situation 好吧，让我们

继续下一个，这是

从某事

中撤退的意思是承认错误 承认错误或者

它可能意味着喜欢停止支持

某事这些实际上是有

联系

的 这方面的例子

可能是我的邻居不会退缩他

指责我吵闹所以

邻居错误地

指责说话者吵闹

但邻居不会退缩

这意味着邻居拒绝

承认错误 有几个他拒绝他

或她拒绝承认有

问题拒绝停止

支持意见所以我的邻居

不会退缩

他不会停止他

继续指责我多少话所以

退缩就像 是的，有点消除你

对你过去所说的话或某些行为的支持，

好吧，

让我们继续前进到本课的最后一个

短语动词，即

备份到备份，它

用于备份某人 支持另一个

人 这意味着在口头上支持某人

所以口头上的意思是用你的

话 口头上支持某人是

支持某人 所以你可以拆分这个来

支持某人 所以这方面的一个例子

可能是我的同事在

我做一个 投诉，所以我的同事

在我投诉时支持我

我提出了投诉，我的同事

口头上或他们分享了一些话来

支持我所说的话，

换句话说，为了支持一些支持他们的意思，

请记住这是非常不同的

from to be a backup to be a backup 意思

是替代某物它

在这里有非常不同的含义所以成为一个

备份

与备份某人有很大不同所以请记住这

一点并且t 请注意使用

这两个词的情况，

所以

如果您有任何问题

或意见或想尝试

造句，或者也许您 知道

使用动词 back 的不同方式 请

随时在本视频的评论部分中这样做

大家好，我的名字是

Alicia 在本课中我将

讨论一些使用

单词 push 的短语动词，所以这些是表达

以动词 push 为特征，但

与 push 的基本含义略有不同 让我们看一下

好吧 让我们从第一个

表达方式开始，push off to push off

意味着开始移动 通常

我们在说 push 时将它与船一起使用

就像我们正在远离

某种安全或某种

支撑，我们通常将其用于船只，

以表示远离码头

，远离陆地，远离

船只连接的部分

为了在陆地上获得一些安全，所以我们用

这个来指代离开一个安全的

地方，但它往往在船上被大量使用。

一个例子，我们

在早上 8 点推开，所以这里是我们推开的过去式

和 time we push off at

8 am 意味着船可能在上午 8 点离开

码头的安全地方 所以 to

push off 意味着开始远离

某物 远离某物

某种支持 好吧 让我们继续

下一个表达 下一个表达

是推过 推过某物或

推过某人 意味着使用推动

动作从某人或某物身边

经过 我们在

拥挤的情况下经常使用这种方式，当您靠近

其他人但您想

过去时 那个人，你可以用轻微的

推动动作 轻轻的推动

动作从那个人身边过去，这样你就

不想推他们太多，但你

可以提醒对方你可以

告诉对方你要超过

他们 以这个表达式为例 e

我要推你 我要推

你 节目 我要推自己 或者

我可能会推一些

靠近你的东西 或者我可能会推你一点

它指的是做出推动的动作

移动到某个地方，所以在

这种情况下被某人推 换句话说，

我将做出一个推的动作并

从你身边经过，这通常是一个小的

推动作，而不是一个大的推动作，所以这

只是一种快速的警报 短语you

can tell someone

as you move by them Okay let’s

move to next expression that is

push someone around to push someone

around 意思是欺负某人欺负

某人所以你可以想象这是在

某人可能更高级别的情况下

可能是在学校 可能是在

工作 可能是在朋友群里

当你推挤周围的人时 你

对他们不友善 你对他们做出不友善的评论

你要求他们为你做很多

事情 没有理由

仅仅使用你的权力 人

我们用这个表达推某人

来谈论这样欺负某人

一个例子

不要让你的老板推你

所以换句话说 不要让你的老板欺负

你 不要让你的老板让你做这么

多 事情或不要让你的老板

对你无礼所以推某人周围

就像你在使用他们或者你

没有尊重他们这不是

一件好事这是一个消极的表达

好的让我们继续下一个短语

verb 下一个短语动词是 to push

limits to push limits 你会

在科技新闻界听到很多这样的说法，

也许这个表达方式也意味着

在极端情况下工作，所以你可以想象你

的生活中有某种界限

某种界限 在你生活中的工作领域，

因此突破这些限制意味着

在那里工作并尝试扩大这些

界限 你正在

尝试 为了让它变得更大，你

试图扩大它，所以我们使用

表达限制来指代

那种东西一个非常常见的例子是

我们正在推动技术的限制，

所以这里是我们正在推动的进行时态

技术的限制

换句话说，我们试图让

技术的限制更大一点，

或者我们试图进入

下一步，所以我们正在推动限制这

是我们用来谈论的表达

方式 下一代的东西它们是

某种进化的

另一种思考极限的

方式就像做不可能的事情或

努力做不可能的事情所以现在不可能的事情

可能

通过你的努力变得可能所以就像你正在

尝试 做

一些目前不可能的事情，

但你希望它

在未来成为可能 你正在挑战

你现在可用的东西的极限

好吧，让我们继续下一个

短语动词 然后下一个短语动词

是 head 我也想把它

和列表中的下一个分组一起

推进和推进这些

含义非常相似推进感觉

更像是努力

创造前进的进展推进

就像下一步一样

在项目中推进的东西 推进

你的商业理念 推进

有点像促使其他人

取得进展，这样你就可以将它

用于一个项目，也喜欢尝试

推进一个项目，但是当 我们使用

推动就像你

试图帮助某事或帮助其他

人取得进步，所以它们往往

以非常相似的方式使用，但

也许

在细微差别上存在一些细微差异，我们可能会

更多地与人一起使用推动而不是

推进，正如我所说的推进有点

像努力

取得进展，以

某事进入下一步，然后我们可以认为

推进就像推进某事

或引起另一个人 n 也要继续

前进 所以让我们

先看一些例句 让我们继续

前进到下一步 所以让我们努力

在第二个例句中我们正在做的事情中前进到下一步

with push along I’ve 在这里使用了一个

人，你能不能试着推动

他，所以你能试着激励他，

鼓励他试着推动他，

意思是让他

激励他去做他的任务或做

他需要做的事情，这样我们就可以

去 下一步，所以你试图让

某人搬到这里，所以非常相似的

想法，但

它们的使用方式可能

略有不同 所以这

在政治和商业中被大量使用，在任何

类型的讨论中都有

很多不同意见来反对

某事通常你反对一个

想法反对一个反对政策的人

所以反对就是抵制那个 或者

反对示例管理层

反对我们的提议，所以我们

在办公室提出了一些建议，

管理层反对他们

不想做他们反对的事情，所以他们反对，

你可能还会听到

这用作名词推回

push back 所以不要回击，但是我们的提议遭到了回击，

所以你可以

听到它用作短语动词或

名词，但它们都指的是抵制或

反对某事，好吧

，在本课中，它是推动

某事 推动某事意味着

试图说服某人某事所以

如果你真的想得到

某事你试图说服

某人某事是个好主意或者

你试图说服某人

给你某事我们可以使用这个

表达 push for that thing to

describe that 所以在这个

例句中感觉有点像你在

说服自己有点像

你在试图激励自己

为自己努力 我们的

未来，你也可以用它

来与其他人交谈并试图

说服其他人，比如试图

推动你的老板加薪

，这意味着你试图说服

你的老板或说服你的老板给

你加薪 加薪是增加薪水

增加工作中的钱，所以

推动某事就像您正在

努力努力以实现

某事或获得某事或

说服某人某事，因此

推动某事可以，所以这些只是一些

示例 的一些短语动词

使用 push 这个词我希望你在这里发现了

一些新的东西，所以

下次你看到它们时请留意这些

，当然，如果你有任何

问题或意见，或者想

练习使用这些短语

动词之一 请随时在

此视频的评论部分这样做 10 个

不规则复数形式的可数名词

let’s go

mouse mouse 第一个名词是

单数的鼠标 it’s mouse 的复数形式

its mouse mouse one mouse tw o mouse not

Mouse’s not nice not nothing like that

not mouse or Mouse’s but mouse mouse

one Mouse 两个老鼠 三只

老鼠 造句 I hope you don’t have mouse

in your house goose geese so next

word is goose goose a 鹅真的是一种

大吵闹的鸟但是鹅的

复数形式鹅变成鹅鹅

所以一只鹅两只鹅也是集体

名词所以我们用来

谈论一群鹅的名词是一群

鹅一群 of geese 我们用flock 表示

birds 实际上是集体名词，

除了like crows 出于某种原因，我们

用a 谋杀crows 不是很奇怪

我不确定这个词的历史，

但我们看到的就像一群鸟

一样 一群海鸥，就像

一群鹅，但我们用的是一群乌鸦

，你现在想想，这真是

一个奇怪的集体

名词是

齿齿所以单数 m是

牙齿的复数形式是牙齿牙齿一

牙齿三颗牙齿所以请注意

不要牙齿但是牙齿牙齿牙齿是

一个不规则名词-它的牙齿在

句子中牙齿仙女是一个神秘的

生物，它给孩子们带来金钱换

他们的牙齿 lost foot feet 下一个

名词是foot foot，所以一英尺两英尺，

所以我们既可以将其用于身体的一部分，也可以用于

我们在美国使用的这种测量系统

，我认为在另一个国家，我们

使用英尺来测量事物 所以就像

我认为一英尺是十二英寸

然后两英尺我们也可以使用

这种测量系统一

英尺两英尺所以请

注意不是长笛而是英尺英尺在句子中的

复数形式保持你的 脚

着地的孩子孩子好

下一个是孩子孩子请

小心孩子是单数

形式孩子是复数孩子一个

孩子两个孩子很多孩子很多

孩子所以但要小心不要查

孩子的孩子是 这里的复数形式

请注意造句 some

people want to have many children

person people 下一个词是

person 单数形式 one

person 复数形式 people 二人

三人 四人 许多人

许多人 吨人 abeach

people people 是复数形式 there

so please use people when you want to

use one person

two people in a sentence the world is

full of different people man men

下一个名词是 Man Man 单数

形式 man 在复数形式中，

请注意发音 元音

发音变化

很大，不是男人的，而是男人的，男人的，男人的，男人的，男人的，男人的，男人的，男人的，男人的，男人的，男人的，

男人的，男人的，男人的。

听力点以及

句子中越来越多的男人正在休

陪产假这些天女人

女人下一个名词是女人女人的

单数形式是女人复数形式

是女人所以请b 在这里要小心，

虽然这两个

词的拼写大致相同，只有最后的

元音似乎发生了变化，

实际上这个词的开头的 O 声

也改变了单数

形式的女人，所以我们有那种

声音 O

在单数复数形式的女人的开头

但是我们有女人它是一个 e 的声音所以

在拼写 O 时不会改变但在

说话时声音确实会改变女人

女人所以

当你 再说话，当你在听女人说话时，

看看那些女人都戴着

同一个帽子羊羊下一个名词是

羊羊羊是下一个现在

复数形式实际上只是羊我们

不能在这上面加一个S 我们不说

绵羊 我们说绵羊是单数，

绵羊是复数

来b 在羊之前

所以如果我们说两只羊或很多羊

或一群羊群

是绵羊或

牛和农场动物的集体名词，

无论如何，羊不会改变，实际上它

是不规则的，

同样的规则适用于鱼 实际上

fish 单数 鱼的复数

形式 造句 Visit a farm

if you want to see manysheep knife

knives 一个 V 音出现在这个

词刀中 F 音刀

在复数中变成一个 V 音刀 一刀

两刀 我们也看到这个

词围巾实际上是一个围巾两个

围巾例如所以请

注意这个所以拼写 do much

change as well as in a sentence

then I hear you only really need 三

把刀在你的厨房第一个

表达是我想去 bla bla

bla I’d like to go to your hotel name

I’d like to 去景点 姓名 我

想去最近的车站 请

这是一个你可以和出租车司机一起使用的表达方式

to go you can use

this expression I’d like to go to la

pobla I’d I’d like to go to bla bla

bla造句I’d like to go to the

Empire State Building number of people

please下一个表达 is

number of people please

当您进入餐厅或

与其他人一起旅行时，您

可以说请，所以

当您去

餐厅时，这可能只是

您学会如何说的一件小事

你可以快速与

餐厅工作人员沟通所以一句话

二PE ople please

numbers ok next is just

numbers 数字在您旅行时非常有用，

特别是如果您要去的

地方

可能无法清楚地显示物品的价格标签，所以如果

您要去跳蚤市场，

或者如果您 ‘会喜欢庭院销售

或价格没有

明确标记的东西，你可以利用你

对数字的了解来询问和

倾听事物的价格，所以如果你

知道你的数字，这可能

对你很有帮助，也许你 还可以

像保护自己免受

因某事被收取太多钱

的句子哇这个三明治五十美元

谢谢你下一个表达

是

谢谢谢谢所以在你旅行之前一定

要学习如何说谢谢，也许

还有一些不同的说法 你可以

向人们说谢谢的方式当然

最基本的英语形式是谢谢，但

可能会考虑谢谢，或者我很感激，

或者非常感谢，所以在你学习之前一定要知道

如何说谢谢 vel

造句谢谢你的帮助你能

你需要问路你可以

使用这种模式你能告诉我浴室在哪里吗

问路时使用它，或者当你在

百货公司或购物

场所需要帮助时

you tell me where something is in a

sentence 你 can you tell me where

the station is please 下一个

表达是 please please please

向某人提出问题，你可以先

用对不起开始谈话

，然后也许你能告诉

我车站在哪里，或者对不起，我

想去等等等等，所以用

原谅我可以是一种礼貌的方式

发起 e to begin a conversation with

someone else please

so in English we have leave me or we

have sorry as well but sorry

更多用于表示道歉

就像我做错了什么

开始谈话，但我

知道你可能正忙于

某事，所以对不起，就像你

想开始谈话

一样，抱歉就像道歉，所以我建议

用英语造句

exclude me，请问哪里可以买到火车票

洗手间在哪里 好的 下一个

很重要 洗手间

在哪里 洗手间在哪里 所以这是一个

重要的问题 我认为

如果您外出购物或在

观光地点，这可能很

重要 知道洗手间在哪里 所以洗手间在

哪里很适合用英语你可以

说厕所在哪里但是在美式

英语中听起来可能有点太

直接了你也可以使用像哪里

是洗手间

也许用英式英语 卜

where is the restroom

it’s pretty nice expression to know for

英语旅行

请我

要一份沙拉，你也

可以在购物时使用，所以我想要三

件那件 T 恤我不知道

你为什么需要三件，或者我想要四件，

所以我 ’d like again that D sound so

the same I’d like as we talk in

the first word in this episode I’d like

to go to we can use I’d like加上一个名词

短语I’d like something please very

对订购和购物有用，所以

我想喝杯啤酒，请用

英语怎么

说 表示某事的词，

但您想知道怎么说

例如，如果

附近有人你可以问

你可以使用这个问题 How do you say

this in English how do you can point to

something like how do you say this in

English 如果它就像

我的水瓶，就拿起它 How do you say

this in English or like you How do you say

that in English you can use that

expression and you can just pointing the

object to to make clear what you mean

so you how do you say something in English or

like 你怎么说 下一个

表达是你会说语言

吗所以你会说语言所以如果你想

检查另一个人是否说

你的语言你可以使用这个

表达所以在我的情况下我会说

你会说英语还是如果你去

其他地方旅行也许 也许如果你

来自越南，你可以说你会

说越南语还是说

葡萄牙语或说中文，这样

你就可以问周围的人

他们说什么语言，如果你有一个

想法，也许那个人会说

那种语言 你可以问他们你

会说日语，所以也许一个有用的人

你会说英语吗 - 好吧，在一个

句子中然后拖延和学习

让我们去注册一个具有挑战性的测试

注册一个具有挑战性的测试

注册一个具有挑战性的测试，这

意味着注册一个

比您当前级别稍难的测试，

因此如果您认为

自己现在像初学者一样，

可以尝试注册一个

类似于较低中级水平的测试，因此

如果您总是注册测试或

给自己 一些

比你目前的水平稍微困难的目标

你总是可以尝试

向上推动 你总是

可以尝试推动一

点点提高 所以我说挑战 我不

说困难 因为如果你 ‘是一个

初学者，你注册了一个

高级测试，这将

很难达到你的目标

，学习

所有的东西来通过高级测试真的很困难b 但是，

如果您设定较小的目标，则较小的测试

目标也许您有更好的机会

实现这些目标，并且您的

动力将保持不变，因此请尝试

注册一个具有挑战性的测试，

给自己一个目标找一部电影或电视

节目来了解下一个想法是

找一部电影或电视节目来理解

所以找一部你可以每周看的电影或电视节目，

或者只是

用你正在学习的语言看你最喜欢的电影，这

可能是一种非常有趣的方式来

激励自己，所以如果你喜欢

您每周都想看的电视节目

您可以将精力集中在

尝试学习词汇或

该电视节目中使用的表达方式上

，也许一周又一周您会

开始听到一些类似的事情并

开始 学习人们

在那个节目中说话的方式，所以在学习时使用

一些有趣且有点

娱乐的

东西可以帮助你更多地享受你正在做的

事情，所以同样的事情可以

适用于电影，如果 你 找到

一部你真正喜欢的电影，或者你真的

受到那部电影的启发，它可以

在你学习时帮助你，因为它可以激励你

并激发你想要了解所有生活，

就像那部电影的各个方面一样，了解

所有细节 电影，

所以找到一些有点娱乐性的

东西来帮助你学习

可能是停止拖延的好方法

有时找一个学习

伙伴下一个想法是找一个学习

伙伴一个学习伙伴所以什么是学习

伙伴所以伙伴是一个词 我们用于

朋友，因此学习伙伴是

与您一起学习的朋友，或者是

您将学习目标告诉可以

确保您对自己的行为负责的人的朋友，

因此如果您有学习伙伴

，则可以与 每隔

几天或一周一次，也许你

会去学习小组学习，

或者你一起练习对话

你可以和你的学习伙伴一起设定目标，

这样你就不会觉得

自己一直在一个

人学习 一个人 一直以来，您可能会

觉得我没有人可以练习，

或者没有人了解我的目标，或者我

觉得我是唯一有目标的人，所以

有一个朋友和一个学习伙伴可以

帮助你感觉更像是

一部分 帮助你

解决你可能不理解的问题，

或者他们有一些

你没有的资源，这

可以帮助你学习

并参加

课程 下一个想法是参加

课程并参加课程 所以喜欢

参加课程意味着开始

课程或注册课程所以在

这种情况下，我们正在谈论

学习课程 如果

您正在学习英语，就像语言课程一样，参加

课程可能会有所帮助，因为它会

产生责任感，

如果您参加课程，您可能会付出

代价，如果您错过课程，

如果您错过课程 你

可以想到 因为钱基本上浪费了

所以如果我

为课程中的每节课支付大约 50 美元并且我不

参加这意味着我在浪费 50 美元

所以如果你这样想并且

你参加了一门课程那么也许这

可以帮助你学习，因为你

不想浪费你的钱，所以通过

上课，你可以很好地利用你的钱，

你可以很好地利用你的时间来学习，

你还可以选择与你的

同学和那里的老师交谈

关于你有任何问题，

所以注册一门课程，特别

是每周课程，甚至可能是

每日课程或强化课程

，我认为可以通过很多不同的方式为你提供帮助，我

认为为你的学习创建一个社交媒体帐户

下一个想法是

为你的学习创建一个社交媒体帐户，

所以这是一种流行的方式来进行一些

日常练习

，用你正在学习的语言实际创建，所以一个

非常常用的工具是 Twitter

我见过很多人使用 Twitter 来做

这件事 创建一个 Twitter 交流 计算

这是专门针对他们的英语

语言学习的，所以如果他们正在学习英语，那么人们会

用英语写下他们的一天，

所以如果他们

没有机会与

同事和他们正在学习的语言交谈

或写一封电子邮件

例如，如果他们没有办法

练习输出，许多人

选择使用社交媒体来做这件事，所以

这是一种联系

其他正在学习的人或寻找

资源来每天阅读关于

你的事情的方法 ‘正在学习，但你也

有机会自己创造一些东西，

所以如果你愿意，你可以尝试创建一个

只用于你的学习的社交媒体帐户，

所以尝试

注册一个你学习中的常规活动

下一个想法是签署 参加学习中的常规

活动，这意味着如果

您正在学习英语，例如，

也许您可以尝试

在某个地方参加每月一次的英语聚会，

这可能与您的

爱好有关

社区中的某件事 学校活动

例如，如果您发现

在这种情况下您可以用英语做的事情

也与您的爱好有关，这

可能对您有所帮助，

因为您开始了解

在某个环境中使用英语的方式 可能只是您

的教科书之外的情况，或者

只是您学习之外的情况，但要

了解其他人如何使用

该语言并

了解您如何以其他方式潜在地使用该语言

，所以去一个普通的喜欢

每月一次的活动或每月两次

的活动或任何可能在

您的课程之外或测试研究之外的活动

可能是另一种获得机会的好方法，

以便有机会

实际使用您正在学习的东西

并学习新事物 学习

你日常生活的一部分 下一个想法

是让学习成为你日常生活的一部分，

所以我的意思是，例如

早上花 30 分钟或

晚上 30 分钟，或者可能是 3 午餐时间为 0 分钟，

无论

你每天抽出时间做

一点学习，所以即使你

早上只做

10 分钟，晚上 10 分钟，这也

比零好，所以 20 分钟结束

如果你能找到一种

方法让学习成为你

一天的一部分，并且你可以创建一个例行

程序，学习是其中的一部分，那么一天的课程仍然比零分钟好，这可以帮助

你习惯于做

如此稳定的感觉不像是一份工作或

学习不像是一件苦差事，它

只是你做的一些事情，比如

刷牙、做早餐、

喝杯咖啡或其他任何事情，如果你把

学习作为日常生活的一部分，那么之后

一段时间 可能感觉不像工作 它

可能不像学习 它可能

感觉还好 这正是

我在一天中的这个时候所做的事情 所以

尝试

一下 尝试将学习

融入您的日常生活 尝试将学习融入您的日常生活

完成学习后奖励自己 下一个想法

是在你完成学习时奖励自己，

所以当你完成学习

时，

无论是三十分钟还是一小时，

或者你上了一个星期的课程，

试着找到一种方法来奖励自己

学习这个 可以是一件非常简单的事情

，例如给自己买

杯咖啡，或者你可以吃一块

巧克力，或者在你完成学习后，

你可以看你最喜欢的电视节目，所以

找到一种方法来奖励你的学习

习惯，这样一旦你 完成学习

在学习期结束时会发生一些好事，你可以期待

这样的奖励自己，

这样它可以帮助你发展并感到

有动力继续进行学习，

公开你的目标下一个

想法是让你的 目标公开 所以

让你的目标公开意味着与人们分享你的

目标，所以如果你

不想和所有人分享你的目标，也许

你可以告诉几个朋友

你的目标，这样 例如，如果该目标是通过

测试，或者该目标是

掌握某个语法点，

或者目标是学习一定数量的

词汇，那么无论尝试

告诉人们该目标，因为

那样它会产生一些

对你负责，比如如果你告诉

别人这个目标，他们将来可能会

问你，如果你

说我没有做到，或者我做不到，

或者我根本不学习，你可能会

觉得有点 这样做实际上很糟糕，

因此

肯定会告诉人们您的目标

会为您带来责任感和

责任感，因此请尝试

与周围的人分享您的目标，

他们也可能会支持您

，他们有机会支持您，或者他们

可以提供他们可以提供的帮助 提供一些东西

来帮助你实现你的目标所以试着

让学习游戏成为最后一个想法

是让学习游戏成为

学习游戏所以在某些情况下你可以

找到应用程序或者你可以

找到可以找到方法的游戏 y 如果

有人已经编写了一个游戏，

例如专门针对词汇单词的游戏，

例如，您可以找到一种享受学习的方法

，如果尚不存在

尝试发明游戏，尤其是如果您

有学习小组或学习伙伴

尝试 找到创造性和有趣的方式来

使用你正在学习的东西然后你就可以

真正享受你的学习你

不必将它视为工作但你可以

真正看到你的学习如何变得有趣

一些你可以玩的游戏示例

学习英语时使用，您可以

像使用拼字游戏一样使用他们的游戏，

您可以通过创建单词来获得积分，因此

您知道的单词越多，您在游戏

中获得最高分的机会就越大，

所以拼字游戏

是您可以做的一种方式 它是为孩子们准备的

一个很好的 有点像它

实际上看起来像一个工作表 但它

被称为 mad libs 它被称为 mad libs

这是我哥哥和

我小时候经常玩的东西

它是一个工作表但其中一些

工作表中缺少 e 单词，我们

看不到整个故事 真的

两个人一起玩这个游戏很好，

所以一个人阅读工作表，工作

表上有空格

，说副词或形容词或动词，所以

你问 另一个人给你一个

形容词给你一个动词，

当

他们给了你

完成故事所需的所有单词后，你在故事中写下这些单词，然后你

将整个故事读给使用

这些单词的人 他们给了你，

它通常会变

得很有趣，所以这可以是一个很好的方法来测试

你的语法，也可以

让你选择的单词变得更有创意，

这样可能

对孩子们有好处 嗯，

所以你可以做很多不同的事情

当然

你也可以创建自己的游戏

让我们从基本定义开始

动词节拍的基本定义是

反复击打重复击打某物

他被打败的例子 n 直到

他失去知觉我必须

把这毯子上的灰尘打掉 让我们

谈谈这个动词的变位 现在

现在 beat beats past beat Past 分

词 beat 渐进式 beat

让我们谈谈

这个动词的一些附加含义 第一个

附加含义是打败

击败一些例子我认为蜘蛛侠

可以在一场战斗中击败蝙蝠侠

我们的团队从未被击败所以在

这两个例句中我们

在第一个例句中看到beat的意思是失败

我认为蜘蛛侠可以击败

蝙蝠侠

这意味着蜘蛛 man could beat Batman in

a Fight 这有点暗示

这句话的建议含义

蜘蛛侠可以击败蝙蝠侠 等于

蜘蛛侠可以击败蝙蝠侠

-man would beat Batman in

the second example 我们的球队

从来没有被打败过这意味着我们的球队

从来没有被打败过我们的球队从来

没有输过我们的球队已经赢了 ry match

我们打过的每一场比赛 我们的球队

从来没有被打败过 所以没有失败 非常

好 所以这是打败

某事的意思 好吧 让我们继续

这个动词的

第二个附加含义 这个动词的第二个附加

含义是在 发生了其他事情的

例子让我们避开人群并

获得下午电影的票我

早早离开家以避开高峰时段的

交通好吧，所以这两个例子都

表明一个动作发生在

我们想要

在第一个例子中避免的其他负面事情之前发生 句子它是

关于避免像

电影院里的一大群人一样让我们击败

人群是那里使用的表达方式

所以击败人群并不意味着

像打击人群它意味着

在人群之前采取行动做某事

到了，那个动作

将是看下午的电影，所以

让我们打败人群意味着让我们

在第二个例句中的人群之前做点什么 我

早早离开房子是为了避开高峰时段的

交通，我们看到高峰时段的交通是

要打败的，所以再说一次，这并不意味着要

赶上高峰时段的交通，这意味着

在这种情况下做一些事情要

早早离开房子以便打败

避免高峰时段的交通，

所以我们会在

其他负面事件发生之前做一些事情，所以在这些

例子中，这是一大群

人和高峰时段的交通，所以我们做一些事情

来避免那件事，

在这件事发生之前做一些事情好吧，让我们走吧

这个动词的第三个

意思 这个动词的第三个意思是

比其他事情更令人愉快 比其他

事情更令人愉快

例子 在海滩上享受阳光

肯定胜过在办公室工作

在家放松 胜过花一天时间购物

所以这两个例句都

提出了两个想法，其中一个

比第一个例句中的另一个更好，

享受沙滩上的太阳

节拍，或者

比工作更愉快

第二个例句中的办公室在

家里放松比

花一天时间购物更愉快，所以我们正在

比较两件事，更好的事情

我们在此之后使用节拍，

所以当你想使用这种模式时，你

可以 说 a 比 B 好，a

比 B 好 a 比我更令人愉快

这里的第四个意思是有

规律的运动 喜欢有节奏的

运动 在某些方面是有规律的

例子 我跑完鸟后心跳很快

第一个例句中的翅膀拍打空气 跑步后我的心脏

跳动得很快 这意味着我的

心律 跑步后我的稳定规律的

心律很快，

所以节奏是恒定的，但

在第二个例子中很快

关于鸟的翅膀的句子就是这个

动作鸟的翅膀拍打空气所以

有节奏稳定的动作

发生鸟的翅膀拍打空气意味着

它总是像经常去

这里所以我们可以看到这个你 se of beat

也指一种有规律的

有节奏的运动

让我们继续讨论一些变体以及

我们如何使用它然后第一个变体

是 beat someone to something to beat

someone to something 意思

是在别人之前做某事所以它 有点

像我们之前谈到的那种失败的意思

例子 我本来打算

订演出的票 但是你打败了

我 我所有的同事今天早上都把我打到了

办公室

所以在这些表达中打我的

意思是某人以前做过某事

me in the first example sentence

I was going to book Tickets for the show we

see 过去式

我

刚才说的那件事，所以我打算做

，但是你比我先做，你打败了

我这是一个很常见的表达

方式，用在第二个例句中，

所有我的同事今天早上都把我打到办公室

它 意味着我所有的同事

今天早上都比我先到了办公室，

所以当你想谈论某人

在你之前做某事时，你可以说

他们打我到办公室，但请记住，

尽管这种方式有点细微差别

竞争 就像

你想在别人之前做某事

就像

这个表达有一点竞争的感觉

好吧

让我们继续第二个变体

下一个变体是打败自己

来打败自己 这意味着

非常消极

或经常

无缘无故地批评

自己 up 这是一个很常见的

表达方式，意思是不要对自己如此消极

在这种情况下，我们遵循

这个表达方式，这只是一个小

错误，所以换句话说，这不是一个大

问题，不要 不要因为

第二个例句中的一个小错误而

对自己如此消极

这不是一个好主意，我不

应该这样做，他真的很沮丧，也许

因为拒绝了工作机会而对自己感到失望，

尽管也许这

没什么大不了的，这不是一个重要的情况，

所以他不需要打败自己，或者

他 在这种情况下正在殴打自己，

所以换句话说他很

沮丧，但也许他不需要

让我们从

这个动词的基本定义开始携带的基本定义

是在拿着或支撑

某物的同时移动示例你可以携带 这个

包 我总是带着一支笔 好吧 让我们

看看这个动词的变位

现在 携带 过去

过去分词 进行进行 携带

现在让我们谈谈一些加法

这个动词的所有含义 第一个

附加含义是将人

或物体从一个地方移动到另一个

例子 静脉将血液输送到

全身各处 公共汽车将孩子们带到

学校 所以这里我们看到物体和

人从一个地方移动到另一个地方

通过或通过或通过其他东西，

我们在第一个例句中使用动词携带来描述它们

静脉

将血液输送到全身

静脉就像你可以看到它们在你的

手臂上通常是蓝色的它们

就像管道一样 猜猜你可以说

就像把它们想象成输送

血液的管道，所以血液

通过这些静脉穿过身体，所以我们可以说静脉

将血液穿过身体，所以静脉

是血液在全身流动的方式

，所以静脉

承载着我们的血液 有点

可以想象他们在关心

他们负责运送

血液所以我们可以说

静脉负责

在身体周围移动血液我们可以我们 e 动词carry

在第二个例句中解释他们

bus 把孩子们送到

学校 bus 是

孩子们的交通工具，所以孩子们

从一个地方移动到另一个

地方 bus 是移动的方法，所以

bus 带孩子上学 我们可以

用 carry 来谈论这种

交通工具

众所周知，它们

携带狂犬病，

所以啮齿动物就像老鼠或老鼠一样小

那些肮脏的

生物 野生动物 狂犬病是一种

疾病 一种严重的疾病，会

导致你的身体表现

得很奇怪 也有非常奇怪的问题 我不会

谈论 狂犬病在这里并不那么重要

，但众所周知，啮齿动物会携带

狂犬病，所以

喜欢生物部分

导致狂犬病的东西会携带这种

疾病 已知啮齿动物会携带这种疾病 所以这

并不意味着真的像背包一样携带，

而是携带基因或

携带疾病

在这种情况下，啮齿动物会在

体内携带狂犬病这种疾病

在第二个例句中，有些

人携带疾病 他们不

知道这意味着有些人

的身体有疾病，但他们不知道

这种疾病，因此您可以想象，就像

我们携带疾病一样，我们将疾病控制在体内

，我们四处走动，但我们不

知道 我们用动词进位来

谈论这个让我们继续第三个

含义第三个附加含义

是使某事成功使

某事成为成功的例子他的

领导使团队度过了

困难时期

她的表现带来了表演所以在

这两个方面 在这些示例中，我们看到

某人携带某物，因此某人

由于他们的行为或由于

他们的领导力而使某事成功，正如我们在第一个

例句中看到的那样，他的领导力

带领团队度过了艰难的

时期意味着由于他的领导能力，团队在困难时期取得了成功，

但我们使用动词进位来表示，

所以我们可以想象这个

人在这种情况下是他的

领导能力，他的领导能力和他的能力

换句话说，成为一名优秀的领导者是一种

携带团队的东西，所以我们

可以想象整个团队都在

这个人的领导技能之上，所以他有

责任让团队

在困难时期取得成功，所以我们使用

carry 解释在第二个

例句中，她的表演带动

了演出，这意味着她的表演非常

好，因此演出成功非常重要，

所以如果没有

她的表演，也许演出

不会成功，但她的

表演真的 真的很好

她的表演使演出取得了成功

她的表演带动了演出

这个动词的第四个意思是

达到一个距离 达到一个距离

这可以像苏 nd 或者它可以

是物理的一些例子

雷声将 20

公里的火山灰从火山

带到空中，所以

在第一个例句中，我们实际上并没有携带物理物体，

它是声音传播，

所以声音 雷声携带 20

公里 这意味着我们能够在

距离源头 20 公里的地方听到雷声

所以携带的声音

换句话说，我们使用携带来指代

声音在第二个例句中传播一段距离

ash from the urban

carry into the 空气

这意味着火山的灰烬移动

到空气中，我们甚至可以说就像

火山的灰烬被带到了

下一个城市，所以它

进入了下一个城市，它走了一段

距离，但我们可以用 Kari 来

谈论它 好吧，

让我们继续讨论这个动词的一些变体，

所以第一个变体是 to

get away to get away

这意味着太兴奋或太

投入某事通常它

有一个积极的意思，我们被

带走了，因为我们对某事感到兴奋，

但让我们先看一些

例子，我

昨晚有点忘乎所以他

听音乐就忘掉了这两个

例子在第一个例子中都很无辜

句子我们看到我

昨晚烤得有点忘乎所以

就像我昨晚烤得太多了

这个想法是我对烘焙太兴奋了

，我烤得太多了，或者

我熬夜太晚做了一些让

我忘乎所以的东西 我做的太多

了，因为我

在第二个例句中对这件事很感兴趣，

他听音乐就得意忘形了

，这可能意味着他花了

太多时间听音乐，也许他

忘了做作业，或者他忘

了去 上班，或者他上班迟到

了，因为他被带走了，他

对听音乐很感兴趣，

以至于忘记了一些东西，或者他做了太多

的事情，换句话说，这通常

只是意味着 你对

某事太兴奋或太参与某事，

因此它可能具有积极意义

下个月

我的航空里程结转到

今年，所以这两个表达式都

使用积分或里程或

第一个例句中的某种数据这

就像手机合同未使用的数据

将结转到下个月

，例如我有

每个月我的手机上有 1 gig 的数据可用，

但我只使用 500 MB 我还有 500

MB 剩余

这是我未使用的数据，该数量会

转移到下个月，这

意味着我有 1 GB 外加 500

MB 的数据可以在下个月使用

月所以结转意味着金额

继续到下一个时期我们

在第二个例句中看到同样的事情

我的航空公司里程结转

到今年意味着我的航空公司

上一年的里程

结转或延续到今年，

所以也许我去年没有使用这些里程

，但它们持续到今年

，我仍然可以使用它们，所以

结转意味着继续我们

在信用卡中看到的很多东西 合同

或诸如里程计划或数据计划之类的

任何带有数据点编号

的东西 如果您已经

学习过目标语言，但您

几乎无法理解母语人士的意思，我们可能会看到这类事情您

可能做错了什么您知道

他们的词汇和语法

但是由于某种原因，当他们以

更快的速度说话时，您无法跟踪发生了

什么为什么会发生这种

情况您是否花了这么多时间

徒劳地学习这是所有

语言学习者在某个时候或另一个时候都面临的常见问题

事实上，这实际上是一个很好的

问题，因为只有

技能水平较高的学生才会

体验到当你知道很多

语言但无法理解

母语时 高峰期的问题几乎

总是与你的听力技巧有关

学习单词的含义并练习

如何在句子中使用它们都是

非常宝贵的技能，但人们

常常忘记，

除了口语写作和阅读之外，我们还必须

在

外语以及在本视频中，

我们将介绍

提高听力技巧

的三种实用方法第一练习主动听力

练习听力的最佳方法之一

是很好地听您的目标

语言但这并不意味着

音乐并在

您做其他事情时在后台听音乐 您

需要练习积极聆听

亲自录制

口语 您可以使用电影

新闻广播或播客 您甚至可以尝试

订阅 YouTube 频道

收听 一段音频，并

尽力写下你在几次尝试后听到的内容

回去

仔细检查你写的内容与脚本

如果您正在

看电影，您可以

通过打开字幕来仔细检查自己的实际

内容 背对课程成绩单

这很简单，您可以

确保成绩单是正确的数字

来练习发音

您在正确发音新单词时遇到的任何问题

都会反映

在您的听力技巧中

您的大脑很难破译和记住一个

声音 无论是字母还是单词，你

不知道如何让自己成为一个好的

口音，这会让你有能力听到

并挑选出不自然的新

声音来发展你的口音，专注于

任何感觉

困难或不自然的声音或字母 对你来说，一旦

你对基本的声音更熟悉了，

就开始使用单词和整个句子将它们结合起来

，

尽可能多地听母语人士 能够并

注意单词和声音如何

在快速讲话中混合变形或掉线

尽力倾听这种现象

并模仿你听到的内容 更多地关注

音节如何一起说，

而不是简单地把单词放在

一起说 单个

单词的发音方式与快速句子中的单词发音方式之间通常存在显着差异，

这是

语言学习者可以

了解大量词汇和语法但

仍无法理解母语人士的重要原因 我们的

播放功能非常适合

发音练习 您可以

播放播客本身或单独收听单词

如果

您在

以母语人士的身份捕捉正确的发音时遇到困难，您甚至可以以较慢的速度收听

速度 3 让

聆听成为您日常工作的一部分 既然

你已经开始练习主动

倾听和发音，让它

成为你日常学习的一部分，很多

具体的上午 每个

听力活动的时间量例如，您

可以练习十分钟的主动

聆听，然后练习十分钟的

元音，然后

通过播客进行十分钟的模仿练习，现在

您不必使用这个时间表来

完全定制它 您自己的需求和

可用性 关键是您

应该有意识和果断地

努力定期练习您的听力

技巧 可能

是每天 30 分钟或可能是 10 分钟

最重要的是您

始终如一地练习 这三个技巧将 帮助

您缩小目标语言知识与听力能力之间可能存在的任何差距

理解母语人士一开始可能会

让人望而生畏，但只要花一点时间

和毅力，您就会看到自己的

技能有所提高，没有什么

比投入工作更令人沮丧的了

努力学习一门外语

只是为了暂时不使用它并

忘记你曾经学过的大部分内容

您对一门语言有很好的掌握

，练习它并不难，

这样它

就会在这个视频中停留在你的

脑海中 你不会忘记它

第一使用语言交流

语言交流背后的想法是你

找到一个能流利地说你的

目标语言并且

在交流过程中也有兴趣学习你的母语

的人你花一半的时间

说该语言 你正在学习

，而另一半在他们正在学习的语言中进行

这种交流

是练习口语

技巧并将所

学知识巩固到大脑中的好方法，

通过语言交流进行练习的一大好处

是 您的语言

伙伴是语言学习者，他们将

能够同情您的

挣扎，甚至可以

根据他们自己的亲身经历为您提供一些有见地的建议，

大多数主要城市都有 将

至少有一个聚会或语言俱乐部

，您可以在其中与

来自世界各地的人练习语言，

但有时如果您找不到当地交流或如果有的

话，很难找到说您正在学习的语言的人

您所在城市没有母语人士 您可以

通过在线语言交流与母语人士建立联系

有许多

免费网站可让您

根据国家和语言搜索用户，并

进行文本音频或视频

练习第二场

让自己沉浸在数字环境中 大多数手机

笔记本电脑 和应用程序将允许您

更改其界面的语言

为什么不将其更改为您的目标

语言 这个简单的更改可能看起来

很小，但实际上它可以是一种

有效的方式来加强您

对语言的使用 如果您的语言技能

就像肌肉 定期使用它们，

那么您的

语言技能就会保持良好状态，

您使用语言技能的次数越多

，记住事情就越容易 但是，如果

您长时间不使用

不要气馁，

这是你的比赛，不是他们的，

每个人都有自己的故事，他们自己的

理由和自己的方法 学习
