hi everybody welcome back to ask alicia

the weekly series where you ask me

questions and i answer them maybe okay

let's get to your first question this

week first question this week comes from

bhavna singh hi babna babna says hi

alicia can you explain the difference

between as soon as and no sooner than

okay sure let's talk about as soon as

first so let's take a look at an example

sentence

i'll leave the house as soon as i finish

my homework in this example sentence we

have two actions leaving the house and

finishing homework so as soon as shows

us that one action will happen once

another action is completed so in my

example sentence i'll leave the house as

soon as i finish my homework means when

this action is done finishing homework

the first action will happen leaving the

house so when we use as soon as the

first action actually happens last i'll

leave the house as soon as i finish my

homework means that this action is the

one that needs to be finished before the

first action can happen

let's compare this to no sooner than so

let's take a look at an example sentence

for example

he's going to arrive at the airport no

sooner than 12 o'clock

this means that some action is going to

happen and we want to express that the

action will not happen before a certain

time in this case he's not going to

arrive at the airport before 12 o'clock

but sometime after 12 o'clock is

possible so in this case he's going to

arrive at the airport no sooner than 12

o'clock expresses this idea so as soon

as is used to talk about one action

happening before another action and no

sooner than refers to one action not

happening until a certain point in time

or maybe until something else has

finished 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

so kyna i hope i said your name right hi

sokaina so kaina says hey alicia i was

watching an english movie and i heard

the sentence we have chemistry what does

it mean hope you answer my question yeah

great question we have chemistry this

doesn't usually mean chemistry class

like in school when we're talking about

chemistry between two people it means

romantic chemistry or maybe just

friendship kind of chemistry chemistry

means that two people get along really

well they understand each other the

conversation flows easily

it's not hard to work with that person

it's not hard to talk to that person

they get along really well

we tend to use this expression a lot

more in romantic relationships when you

go on a date with someone for the first

time you might say we had chemistry or

we had no chemistry meaning it was

really great and we could talk easily or

it wasn't so great and we didn't really

have a good flow so this chemistry

refers to how well we can interact with

another person how easy it is to talk

and be friends with or to be romantic

with another person so i hope that this

helps you thanks for the question okay

on to our next question next question

comes from lulyn i hope i said that

right liberlynn hi livelyn livelyn says

hi alicia what is daylight saving time

i'm very confused my country does not

have this great question yeah in the usa

we have this thing called daylight

saving time you might also hear daylight

savings time used but this refers to

changing the times on the clock twice a

year so when we want to gain an hour of

time like when the sun goes down very

early in winter there will be a day each

year when everyone in the country has to

set their clocks forward or back to gain

or lose an hour of time i know this

probably seems really strange to you if

your country doesn't have this practice

or doesn't have this custom but in the

u.s and maybe in some other countries

that use daylight savings time to try to

get lots and lots of sunshine in the day

this is what happens everybody changes

their clocks one hour forward or one

hour back depending on the season so i

hope that this helps you thanks very

much for the interesting cultural

question

okay on to our next question next

question comes from wile hi weil i hope

i said your name right weill says hello

alicia i read something like you cannot

use forget if you want to mention the

place you left something for example

don't say i forgot my book at home

instead say i left my book at home

my question is what if i really want to

refer to the fact that i actually forgot

my book at home what should i say

yeah interesting question i have never

read this before but no it's completely

okay to say i forgot my book at home or

i have forgotten my book at home it's

completely correct you can also just say

i forgot my book that's 100 correct too

there is no problem

putting a place after forget here i left

my wallet at home is also completely

okay so in this case when you're talking

about leaving or forgetting something in

a location you can use either verb and

you can also include a place with either

verb as well both are totally fine don't

worry about a place with forget or not

you can use either so that's a very

interesting question but thanks for

asking okay let's move on to our next

question next question comes from

anderson hi anderson anderson says what

does the expression i dropped the ball

mean great question i dropped the ball

okay this is a sports kind of expression

right so of course we can use it to mean

dropping an actual ball if you're

playing sports or something but you will

hear this used in business situations

and work situations maybe when you're

making plans with someone to drop the

ball means to not take care of your

responsibilities so for example your

friend expected you to make a restaurant

reservation for a party you didn't do it

they might say you dropped the ball you

were supposed to do that so you

imagine yourself as a player in a game

where you have some responsibility with

the ball like to make a shot or

something like that but if you don't do

it you don't fulfill your responsibility

we expressed that sometimes with this

expression to drop the ball so you

didn't do something you were supposed to

do you were supposed to maybe continue

making plans you were supposed to

continue communicating with someone you

did not do it you failed to do your

responsibility someone might say wow you

really dropped the ball there so i hope

that this helps answer your question

thanks for an interesting one all right

that is everything for this week thank

大家好，欢迎回来询问艾丽西亚

您问我的每周系列

问题，我回答它们也许可以，

让我们来回答你

本周的第一个问题，本周第一个问题来自

bhavna singh，嗨 babna，babna 说，嗨，艾丽西亚，

你能解释一下

尽快和不早之间的区别

吗？

首先，让我们看一个

例句，

i'll leave the house as I done

my homework 在这个例句中，我们

有两个动作离开家和

完成家庭作业，所以只要

告诉我们一个动作会再发生

一次 动作已完成，所以在我的

例句中，我会在

完成作业后立即离开家，这意味着当

这个动作完成完成作业时

，第一个动作将发生离开

所以当我们使用

第一个动作最后发生时，我会

在我完成作业后立即离开家

，这意味着这个动作是

在第一个动作发生之前需要完成的

动作

让我们将这个与否进行比较 比这样快

让我们看一个例句

例如

他将在 12 点之前到达机场

这意味着某个动作将要

发生，我们想表达该

动作不会在某个特定时间之前发生

时间在这种情况下，他不会

在 12 点之前到达机场，

但在 12 点之后的某个时间是

可能的，所以在这种情况下，他将在

12 点之前到达机场

所以尽快表达这个想法

as 用于谈论一个动作

发生在另一个动作之前，并且不

早于指一个动作

直到某个时间点

或可能直到其他事情完成才发生，

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

问题来自

so kyna 我希望我说你的名字是对的 hi

sokaina 所以 kaina 说嘿 alicia 我正在

看一部英语电影，我听到

了我们有化学反应这句话是

什么意思希望你回答 我的问题是的

很好的问题我们有化学这

通常并不意味着

像在学校里那样的化学课当我们谈论

两个人之间的化学时它意味着

浪漫的化学或者可能只是

友谊的化学化学

意味着两个人相处得

很好他们 互相理解

谈话很轻松

与那个人

一起工作并不难 与那个人交谈并不难

他们相处得很好

当你和某人约会时，我们倾向于在浪漫关系中更多地使用这种表达方式

第

一次你可能会说我们有化学反应，或者

我们没有化学反应，这意味着它

真的很棒，我们可以轻松交谈，或者

它不是那么好，我们真的

没有 有一个良好的流程，所以这种化学反应

是指我们与另一个人互动的程度，与

另一个人交谈

、成为朋友或浪漫的容易程度，

所以我希望这

对你有帮助，谢谢你的问题，好的

，我们的下一个 下一个问题

来自 lulyn 我希望我说的是

对的 liberlynn 嗨 livelyn livelyn 说

你好 alicia 什么是夏令时

我很困惑我的国家

没有这个很好的问题是的在美国

我们有一个叫做

夏令时的东西你 也可能听说过

使用夏令时，但这是指

每年两次更改时钟上的时间，所以当我们想要获得一小时的

时间时，比如冬天太阳下山的时候，

每年都会有一天，

每个人都在 这个国家必须

把他们的时钟拨快或拨快以获得

或减少一个小时的时间我知道

如果

你的国家没有这种做法

或没有这种习俗，但在美国，这对你

来说可能真的很奇怪 并且也许在其他

一些使用夏令时来尝试

在白天获得大量阳光的国家/地区，

这就是每个人都会根据季节

将时钟向前一小时或向后一小时改变的情况，

所以我

希望这可以帮助你谢谢

非常适合有趣的文化

问题

好的，继续我们的下一个问题 下一个

问题来自 wile hi weil 我希望

我说你的名字是对的 weill 说你好

alicia 我读到了一些你不能

使用的东西忘记如果你想提到

你留下东西的地方 例如

，不要说我把书忘在家里了，

而是说我把书忘在家里了

我的问题是，如果我真的想

提及我实际上

把书忘在家里这一事实该怎么办？

以前读过，但是没有，

完全可以说我把书忘在家里了，或者

我把书忘在家里了，这是

完全正确的，你也可以说

我忘记了我的书，那也是正确的 100

没有

忘记在这里后放置一个地方的问题

我把钱包留在家里也完全

没问题，所以在这种情况下，当您

谈论在某个位置留下或忘记某物时，

您可以使用任一动词，

也可以包含一个带有任一

动词的地方 好吧，两者都很好，不用

担心忘记或不使用的地方，

所以这是一个非常

有趣的问题，但是感谢您的提问，

好吧，让我们继续我们的下一个

问题下一个问题来自

安德森嗨安德森安德森说

什么 表达我丢球的

意思是很好的问题我丢了球

好吧这是一种运动的表达方式

所以当然我们可以用它来表示

如果你

在运动或其他什么东西上丢了一个实际的球但你会

听到这个用于商业 情况

和工作情况也许当您

与某人制定计划时放弃

球意味着不承担您的

责任，例如您的

朋友希望您开一家餐馆

预订一个你没有做的派对，

他们可能会说你丢了

你应该做的球，所以你

想象自己是一名球员

但如果你不这样做

，你就没有履行你的责任，

我们表示有时用这种

表达方式丢球，所以你

没有做你应该做的

事情你应该可能会继续

制定你应该做的计划

继续与你

没有这样做的人交流你没有履行你的

责任有人可能会说哇你

真的把球丢在那里所以我

希望这有助于回答你的问题

感谢一个有趣的问题好吧
