hi everybody welcome back to ask Alicia

the weekly series where you ask me

questions and I answer them

maybe first question comes from I am hi

ion ion says hi Alicia which sentence is

correct

I think someone break into my apartment

or I think someone broke into my family

when should I use the simple past tense

actually both sentences are close but

neither sentence is correct the correct

sentence would be I think someone broke

into my apartment so when we use the

verb break into and the regular present

tense we follow it with the actual place

like with the location so we don't use

people as the object of this phrasal

verb we use the actual place so I broke

into an apartment or someone broke into

my house or I think someone is breaking

into your car or a thief broke into the

jewelry store last night

okay so I hope that this helps with your

understanding of the phrase break into

thanks very much for the question

alright let's move on to your next

question next question comes from

Vladimir hi Vlad Amir Vladimir says hi

what is the difference between what as a

conjunction and that some examples I

should have said what I said I don't

know that we can show me that you can

help me and I'll tell you where your

friends are I got these examples from TV

shows yeah a really good question and a

tough question too actually in these

sentences what and that are not acting

as conjunctions they're acting as

relative pronouns so relative pronouns

start a noun clause like a relative

clause they're giving us some

information and we begin these clauses

with relative pronouns so let's take a

look at the examples that use in let's

start with what so in your first example

sentence you said I should have said

what I said

so here what marks the

beginning of this new clause what I said

is the clause itself so I should have

said something

so this what I said refers to something

the speaker mentioned earlier something

the speaker like mentioned in a

different conversation so what I said

could be replaced with it or that and

the sentence would remain grammatical

like I should have said it I should have

said that what is acting as a relative

pronoun and it means the thing which or

the things which something something

something so you could say I should have

said the things which I said so that

would be a grammatically correct

sentence so in this case what does not

act as a conjunction it's acting as a

relative pronoun it's starting off this

clause this new information so let's

look at another example that uses this

for example I shouldn't have eaten what

I ate for lunch so in this sentence what

I ate for lunch is like my extra

information that's my noun clause there

and I'm using what to introduce that so

here the speaker is expressing regret

maybe the speaker ate lots of junk food

for lunch and now they feel terrible so

I shouldn't have eaten what I ate for

lunch so that means that thing or those

things that I ate for lunch even though

the speaker is not specifically stating

everything he or she ate so we use what

in this way to mean the things which or

the thing which so let's continue on to

your other two examples the first one

was I don't know that we can so here

that is the relative pronoun as we

talked about with what but here that is

used to introduce like an idea or a

concept so that we can is the noun

clause here it's acting as the object of

the verb no I don't know that we can so

that we can is referring to something

that was said earlier in the

conversation so maybe for example like

we should try to convince the neighbors

to build a pool and share

with us and then the speaker might

respond with hmm I don't know that we

can so that we can like that seems like

it's kind of an unfinished sentence like

what does can connect to there but can

actually connects to the verb that was

in the previous statement or the

previous sentence in that case it was we

should convince the neighbors so that we

can connects to the verb convinced like

I don't know that we can convince the

neighbors that's what it means so in

order to introduce this clause we use

that so we use that for like things

ideas concepts it sounds quite informal

to for more information on using that

you can check out a video that we have

on the channel about relative clauses as

well let's look at your last example so

in this example you said show me that

you can help me so here let's focus on

this clause that's that you can help me

so in this case it's actually not acting

as the object the direct object so the

verb here is show the direct object is

me and this clause is actually what's

called the object compliment so an

object compliment describes or gives us

some more information about the direct

object so in this case it's show me like

what are you going to show me that you

can help me so there's this noun clause

there and we begin the noun clause with

that so this is the difference and this

is how we use these kinds of things in

sentences so I hope that this answers

your question thanks very much for

sending it along ok let's move on to

your next question next question comes

from Mohammed Bushra hi Mohammed

Mohammed says how do I use in terms of

in sentences ok using in terms of kind

of like helps you to explain a specific

focus for a situation or gives you more

context about a situation so for example

I'd like a company meeting you could say

in terms of sales last month was a huge

success

but in terms of staff morale it was a

huge failure so here you're pointing out

like two parts of one situation so

you're talking about the

company's performance maybe last month

as a whole as one thing but inside that

there are small points so you're

pointing out smaller things inside

something larger so we use in terms of

to do that I would say we tend to use

this a little bit more informal

conversations I wouldn't use this a lot

with friends but you could if you want

to so I hope that that helps you thanks

very much for the question all right

let's move on to your next question next

question comes from is son hiya son

Hasan says hi Alicia could you please

explain a bit about past and past and

how to use them in different situations

because it's quite challenging for

learners I watched a few videos but I'm

still a bit confused Thanks

okay sure let's talk about past pasd

first so past can be a noun which refers

to time before the present we can also

use past to refer to prior things so

that means it's like an adjective so my

past work or like my past relationships

or my past job so past refers to things

prior

in the past what kind of work have you

enjoyed doing some of her past

relationships ended terribly now let's

talk about past so pas sed this is the

past tense form of the verb to pass

which can mean like to move beyond

something else or it can mean to give

someone something else usually like a

close range we also use this verb to

mean to successfully complete a test or

to get a good grade on a test to pass so

again this is the past tense and the

past participle form of this verb so

that means that even though the

pronunciations sound very similar these

two words have very different

grammatical functions and therefore you

can determine which word is being used

depending on the positioning of the word

in the sentence so let's look at some

examples with past I passed my coworker

on the street earlier have you ever

passed a test without studying there's

one more use of pass that's also very

common which is to pass out to pass out

means to fall asleep and we usually use

this when like we've been drinking or

when we're just super super tired so for

example I passed out as soon as I got

home last night

or he passed out in the back of the car

so pass out is kind of a set phrase on

its own which like casually or roughly

means to fall asleep so you can hear in

these example sentences that past pas

sed and past pas T take different

positions in sentences so we're not just

listening for the pronunciations of

these words in speech we're also kind of

listening to the grammar of the sentence

as a whole so if you're confused if

you're listening to someone speaking and

you're wondering that that person just

say passed or did they say passed which

sounds extremely similar think about the

way the sentence is made like what's the

position of the word that you're

wondering about and also think like does

this word make sense the meaning of this

word so in some these words do take

different positions and have different

meanings so try to listen to the

sentence as a whole I hope that this

helps you thanks very much for the

question okay let's move on to your next

next question comes from Bernard Oh

Valencia Gonzales heigen Fernando

Fernando says hi Alicia my questions I

still can't get the difference between

buy and purchase in the same way I don't

know when or where to use amid among and

between cool so first let's take a look

at buy and purchase yeah when we use

these as verbs they share a meaning

really but in everyday conversation we

use buy like I need to buy a camera or

I'm gonna go buy lunch or what did you

buy last weekend so they refer to just

like going shopping and exchanging money

for things we use purchase more in like

formal situations maybe in like

contracts or maybe you see it in like a

customer service agreement you might

also see purchase as like the verb use

on an online shopping website like the

button to click something might say buy

or it might say purchase so it's just

the verb that's used you might also see

purchase used as a noun we can use it as

a countable noun actually so like

customers should bring their purchases

to the register it does sound more

formal we cannot use buy in this way we

cannot use buy as a noun that would

sound very strange so please only use

purchase as a noun so in everyday

conversation I would recommend using the

verb buy to talk about shopping in more

formal situations we might use purchase

more commonly regarding your second

question about the differences between

amid and among and between the very

short answer is that a mid is used with

uncountable nouns among is used with

countable nouns and between is used in

situations where there are just two

options to choose from we also use

between to mean in the middle of two

objects

another point a mid does tend to sound

quite formal and we tend to use a mid

with these kind of like abstract nouns

so for example she lost her wallet amid

the confusion or the thief escaped amid

the excitement of the concert regarding

among then when we use it with countable

nouns it kind of sounds a little bit

less formal than and

like they walked among the trees or

there's a spy among us so between can be

used to mean in the middle of two things

so for example on the train this morning

I sat between two people wearing lots of

perfume or I put your lunch over there

between the microwave and the coffee

maker so this is a really quick

introduction to these I made a

whiteboard video about this question so

please keep an eye out for that on the

channel very soon so I hope that that

helps answer your question thank you

大家好，欢迎回来向 Alicia 提问

每周系列，您问我

问题，我回答他们

也许第一个问题来自我是 hi

ion 说嗨，艾丽西亚，哪句话是

正确的

我想有人闯入我的公寓

或我想有人闯入了我的家人

我什么时候应该使用简单的过去时

实际上两个句子都很接近，但

两个句子都不正确 正确的

句子是我认为有人

闯入 我的公寓，所以当我们使用

动词break into和常规现在

时时，我们跟随着实际的地方，

比如位置，所以我们不使用

人作为这个短语动词的宾语，

我们使用实际的地方，所以我

闯入了一个 公寓或有人闯入

我的房子或我认为有人

闯入您的车或小偷昨晚闯入了

珠宝店，

好吧，希望这有助于您的

理解 短语的 g

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

Vladimir hi Vlad Amir Vladimir says hi

what as a

conction and that some examples I

should have say what I 之间的区别是什么？ 说我不

知道我们可以告诉我你可以

帮助我我会告诉你你的

朋友在哪里我从电视节目中得到了这些例子

是的一个非常好的问题和一个

棘手的问题实际上在这些

句子中什么和那个

不是连词，而是

关系代词，所以关系代词

开始一个名词从句，就像关系

从句一样，他们给我们一些

信息，我们

用关系代词开始这些从句，所以让我们

看一下在 let's 中使用的例子

从你说的第一个例句中

的 what so 所以

开始

所以我所说的这个是指

说话者之前提到的

东西，说话者喜欢在

不同的对话中提到的东西，所以我所说的

可以用它或那个代替，

并且句子将保持语法，

就像我应该说的那样我应该

说 什么是作为一个关系

代词，它的意思是什么

东西，什么东西，什么

东西，所以你可以说我应该说

我说的东西，所以这

将是一个语法正确的

句子，所以在这种情况下，什么不

作为 一个连词它作为一个

相对代词它开始这个

子句这个新信息所以让我们

看另一个使用这个

的例子例如我不应该吃我午餐吃的东西

所以在这句话中

我吃的午餐就像我的 额外的

信息，这是我的名词从句

，我正在使用什么来介绍它，所以

说话者在这里表示遗憾，

也许说话者午餐吃了很多垃圾食品

现在他们感觉很糟糕，所以

我不应该吃我午餐吃的东西，

所以这

意味着我午餐吃的东西，

即使说话者没有具体说明

他或她吃的所有东西，所以我们

用这种方式 意思是什么

或什么所以让我们继续

你的其他两个例子第一个

是我不知道我们可以所以这里

是我们谈到的关系代词，

但是这里是

用来介绍的 像一个想法或

概念，so that we can 在这里是名词

从句，它充当

动词的宾语 no I don't know that we can

so we can 指的

是对话中前面说过的东西，

所以也许是 例如，

我们应该尝试说服

邻居建立一个游泳池并

与我们分享，然后说话者可能会

回应嗯我不知道我们

可以这样我们可以喜欢这似乎

是一个未完成的句子，就像

什么做 可以连接到那里，但可以

实际上连接

到上一个语句中的动词或

在这种情况下的上一个句子中，我们

应该说服邻居，这样我们

就可以连接到说服的动词，就像

我不知道我们可以说服

邻居这就是它的意思 因此，

为了介绍这个子句，

我们使用 that 所以我们将其用于类似事物的

想法概念听起来很非正式

，以获取有关使用的更多信息，

您可以查看我们

在频道上关于相对子句

的视频，让我们看看 你的最后一个例子所以

在这个例子中你说告诉我

你可以帮助我所以这里让我们关注

这个子句你可以帮助我

所以在这种情况下它实际上并没有

充当直接宾语所以

这里的动词是显示 直接宾语是

我，这个子句实际上是

所谓的宾语恭维，所以

宾语恭维描述或给我们

一些关于直接宾语的更多信息，

所以在这种情况下，它告诉我像

wha 你是不是要告诉我你

可以帮助我，所以那里有这个名词

从句，我们以名词从句开头

，所以这是区别，这

就是我们在句子中使用这些东西的方式，

所以我希望这能回答

你的问题 问题非常感谢您

发送它好的让我们继续

您的下一个问题下一个问题

来自 Mohammed Bushra 嗨 Mohammed

Mohammed 说我如何

在句子中使用 ok 在类似的方面使用

可以帮助您解释特定的

重点 对于某种情况或为您提供

有关某种情况的更多背景信息，例如，

我希望召开一次公司会议，您可以说

上个月在销售方面取得了巨大

成功，

但就员工士气而言，这是一个

巨大的失败，所以您在这里 指出

一种情况的两个部分，所以

你说的是

公司上个月的整体表现可能

是一个整体，但里面

有一些小点，所以你

指出的是更大的东西里面的小东西，

所以我们

就这样做而言，我想说我们倾向于在

非正式的

对话中使用它

问题 好吧

让我们继续你的下一个问题 下一个

问题来自儿子 hiya 儿子

Hasan 说嗨 Alicia 你能

解释一下过去和过去以及

如何在不同情况下使用它们，

因为这对学习者来说非常具有挑战性

我看了几个 视频，但我

还是有点困惑，谢谢，

好吧，让我们先谈谈过去 pasd

所以过去可以是一个名词，

指现在之前的时间，我们也可以

用过去来指代以前的事情，

这意味着它就像一个形容词，所以我的

过去的工作或喜欢我过去的关系

或过去的工作 所以过去是指

过去的事情 你喜欢做什么样的工作

动词 to pass 的 nse 形式

，可能意味着喜欢超越

其他东西，也可能意味着给

别人一些东西，通常

像近距离一样 再次测试通过，

这是这个动词的过去式和

过去分词形式，

这意味着即使

发音听起来非常相似，这

两个词具有非常不同的

语法功能，因此您

可以

根据 单词

在句子中的位置所以让我们看一些

过去的例子我之前在街上通过了我的同事

你有没有

通过考试而不学习还有另外

一种 pass 的用法也很

常见，即 pass out 是 pass out 的

意思 入睡，我们通常

在喝酒或

超级累的时候使用它，

例如我

昨晚一回到家

就昏倒了，或者他昏倒了 in the back of the car

so pass out 是一个单独的

短语，喜欢随便或粗略的

意思是睡着了，所以你可以在

这些例句中听到过去

过去和过去过去 T

在句子中占据不同的位置，所以我们 '不只是

听

这些单词在语音中的发音，我们还可以

听整个句子的语法，

所以如果

你在听某人说话

时感到困惑并且想知道那 人们只是

说通过了，还是他们说通过了，这

听起来非常相似 想想

句子的构成方式，就像

您想知道的单词的位置一样，

并且还认为

这个词有意义吗？这个词的含义，

所以在 其中一些词确实占据

不同的位置并具有不同的

含义，因此请尝试将

整个句子全听一遍 我希望这

对您有所帮助 非常感谢您提出的

问题 好的，让我们继续您的

下一个问题来自 Ber nard Oh

Valencia Gonzales heigen Fernando

Fernando 说嗨 Alicia 我的问题

购买和购买 是的，当我们将

这些用作动词时，它们确实具有相同的含义，

但在日常对话中，我们

使用购买，例如我需要购买相机，或者

我要去买午餐或

上周末你买了什么，所以它们指的

就像 去购物和用钱

兑换我们使用的东西 在

正式情况下购买更多，可能在类似

合同中，或者

您可能会在客户服务协议中看到它，您可能

还会将购买视为

在线购物网站上的动词使用，例如

单击按钮 有些东西可能会说购买

或可能会说购买所以它只是

使用的动词你可能还会看到

购买用作名词我们实际上可以将其用作

可数名词所以就像

客户应该把他们的购买

带到 寄存器听起来确实更

正式我们不能以这种方式使用购买我们

不能将购买用作

听起来很奇怪的名词所以请只使用

购买作为名词所以在日常

对话中我建议使用

动词购买来谈论购物 更

正式的情况下，我们可能会

更常见地使用购买，关于您的第二个

问题，即

中间和之间以及之间的区别 非常

简短的答案是中间与不可数名词一起使用，

中间与

可数名词一起使用，并且

在有的情况下使用 只有两个

选项可供选择，我们也使用

between 来表示在两个对象的中间

另一个点 mid 听起来

很正式，我们倾向于使用 mid

和这些抽象

名词，例如，她在中间丢了钱包

在音乐会的兴奋中，混乱或小偷逃脱了，

因为

当我们将它与可数名词一起使用时，

它听起来有点

不正式

就像他们在树林中行走，或者

我们中间有间谍，所以 between 可以

用来表示两件事的中间，

例如今天早上在火车上，

我坐在两个人中间，身上喷了很多

香水，或者我把你的午餐放在那里

在微波炉和咖啡机之间，

所以这是

对这些的
