those of you who are joining me live
today we’ve got a great expression and
an important idea for life for life hi
so Yoshi hi Valerie welcome John Jack
you’re here live great great Millie
welcome I’m glad you’re here I have a
question for you at the beginning of our
live lesson today my question for you is
do you think that you have changed a lot
since you were a teenager do you think
you’ve changed a lot since you were a
teenager
so yes means oh I have changed so much
I’m almost a different person so much of
me has changed or no I’m the same person
just older and wiser because you have
more experience maybe a little change
let me know do you think that you have
changed a lot since you were a teenager
for me I think the answer would be yes
and in my case I think that’s a great
thing when I was a teenager I was still
the same person but I think my views on
life and different ideas about passion
and learning and adventure and
relationships was a lot different so I
would say for me yes I’m curious for you
what would you say do you think you have
changed a lot since you were a teenager
or if you’re a teenager now we might
have a few teenagers here if you are a
teenager then the future is wide open
for you I’ll go away from Turkey
excellent I’m glad you’re here for the
first time I hope I said your name
correctly kool-aid kool-aid I’m glad
that you’re here and this page
a great place for you to improve your
English have live lessons meet other
nice people
aha about Isis in some ways I’ve changed
and in some ways now okay some ways yes
some ways no Manuel says yes I change a
lot and this is a huge question we could
talk about this for hours how have you
changed but I think in general we can
agree we’re not teenagers anymore so you
know she says yes I have changed
especially if you have teenage kids
socio she has two teenage kids and I
imagine when you look at your teenage
kids you imagine I’m so different from
them now wow I can’t believe I was a
teenager before I think when you
interact with teenagers again you
realize wow I have changed a lot and
this is linked with our expression today
our expression today is two expressions
but they need the same thing and does
anyone know what its expression we’re
gonna talk about today hmm what do you
think don’t feel welcome dee dee welcome
I’m glad you’re here who knows what is
the expression we’re gonna chat about
today I think this is useful for
transitional times Manuel says I’ve
changed my mindset mindset this is a
great expression to talk about your
mindset your worldview your perspective
this is a great thing to potentially
change in your life
a la jolla Texas definitely I’ve changed
a lot really says yes I’ve changed a lot
and this is part of growing up maybe in
20 years when you’re 20 years older
maybe you’ll say the same thing 20 years
ago I was a different person and I think
that’s a good thing we’re always
changing and growing hopefully getting
better hopefully your English skills too
in 20 years
you’ll look back and think wow I am a
different person now now I’m speaking
confidently hopefully before 20 years
but I think that’s a great marker for
far in the future welcome thanks for
joining me tended CRISPR welcome so far
great oh yes
Tanaka I hope I’m saying your name
correctly cha not gonna you’re not gonna
welcome chocolate has just joined our 50
natural English expressions course and
so glad you’re part of our great
community welcome welcome today the
expression we’re going to talk about I’m
going to write this down here yes as
time went on as time went on so we could
say as time went on or as time grew on
so we could say as time went on or as
time grew on
I think grew is gonna be a little bit
more formal so I I would probably say
when generally but we could use both of
them so let’s let’s create a great
sentence to talk about your life because
a lot of you have said I think no one
said that they are the same so everyone
so far who commented agrees that you
have changed since you were a teenager
since you were a teenager so let’s think
about something specific that has
changed it can be a simple thing for
example when I was a teenager I hated
sweet potatoes I hated sweet potatoes
and salmon salmon is a kind of red pink
fish that lives in the Atlantic and
Pacific Ocean but it’s a big fish bears
love it and now I love it so I’m gonna
make my sentence to say I used to so we
can use this great expression I used to
in the past I used to hate
sweet potatoes I don’t know why I love
them now sweet potatoes but as time went
on I changed so this is a great
expression to talk about changing your
mind I used to hate sweet potatoes so
for you you could say I used to not
speak English but as time went on I
changed or I started it’s good to use
the the past tense here I started to
speak more so I used to hate sweet
potatoes but as time went on these
things over time over times Oh Manuel
has a great one here yes I used to be a
couch potato couch potato is a great
expression it means you don’t exercise
you’re lazy sometimes in our life it’s
nice to be a couch potato just relax on
the weekends or occasionally but maybe
not all the time
so Manuel tell me what is what can you
use at the end of this sentence what are
you doing now I used to be a couch
potato
but as time went on for example I
realized it I realized that I need to
exercise or I realized that it’s not
healthy or I started to exercise more so
let’s use this fool thing oh nothing has
a great one as well I used to hate
Brussels sprouts I think a lot of kids
feel like this I used to hate Brussels
sprouts but this time went on I changed
yeah it’s amazing how there are certain
foods that we change our minds about so
maybe as a teenager you hated something
or
kid in the u.s. broccoli is a very
typical example kids typically hate
broccoli but for adults maybe it’s not
your favorite food but it’s fine
aha come on has a great world answer
here then as time went on you the US and
China became great past tense here
became good economic partners in the
world economy also maybe at the
beginning they weren’t for good world
partners but as time went on they became
better partners Oh Marco that’s a good
one if you are as to a sweet potato not
a sweet potato a couch potato if you are
a couch potato this might happen
Marco says she used to be thin but as
time went on she gained weight okay you
guys have great a grammar structure for
this I want to make sure that you’re
using it naturally not really thinking I
need to use this and I need to use this
but this is a good point to focus on it
so that the next time when you use it
you’ve heard it a lot you feel
comfortable with it so you can really
really use it I’m gonna go back with a
quick and take a look at a sentence that
I missed oh yes ah gyro I’m not sure if
I’m saying the beginning of your name
correct it should it be Jairo gyro Jairo
he says I used to hate onions but as
time went on I changed my taste yes
onions that’s a really specific thing I
just ate a lot of onions is the good
thing about internet cuz if I eat fish
or onions you’ll never know you can’t
smell my breath that’s great
Judy says I used to be out of the mood
for studying in Altru usually we say in
the mood I used to be not in the mood
for studying but luckily I’m not anymore
great now you’re in the mood for
studying aha great I think this is a
good example here I can’t go has a great
question how you to go nice to see you
again
um she said uh can we use has changed
instead of change so in this sentence
let’s use this sentence as an example I
used to hate sweet potatoes but as time
went on I have changed are you saying
sweet potatoes but as time went on I
changed yes we could use this I think
typically with in this situation where
you could use either usually we try to
use the simplest one in conversation so
for me I would probably just say I was
time went on I changed because now I’m
talking about at the moment but when
you’re writing we could use either I
think we try to use the simplest one
here so let’s keep it simple and use
that excellent Oh Jean set Jack said I
used to hate not being able to talk in
English but as time went on I started to
feel more comfortable I hope this is
true for you although things that I used
to be an avid Fisher Fisher okay
that’s a fun activity for some people
but as time went on I changed so maybe
you moved away from a place where you
could fish or just stopped being
something you’re interested in Oh see I
said this yes I used to play video game
but as time went on I changed I never do
it but my son is really into it this is
a beautiful expert to say into it I’m
into it
so I used to be into for example I used
to be into airplanes
I still love airplanes my bedroom was
covered with airplanes and now I like
airplanes but I’m not as into it as I
used to be so as time went on I changed
my interests I love airplanes still and
if I’m close to a small airplane I get
really excited but I’m not as into it as
I used to be thanks for bringing that up
- Yoshi great expression Mira says hi
Mira Mira says might
I used to hate vegetables too but as
time went on she changed a little bit I
hope that she will come to love your
vegetable soup good excellent yes I
think these are great sentences
beautiful grammar Tom says I used to
drink milk milk but as time went on I I
maybe say I started to hate milk or I
became a milk hater Wow pretty strong
here and maybe you became
lactose-intolerant this is an expression
we used to talk about someone who
physically cannot eat milk without
getting sick
they are lactose intolerant maybe that
happened to you
it’s possible uh-huh
Kali has a great question so can’t he
asks can we say I think he I’m not sure
if you’re she let me know does can we
say go on instead of went on as time
went on as time goes on this is a great
question because we can use this in the
present tense but it means that you’re
still changing
so maybe with English you are still
learning English you’re passionate
you’re motivated to drink so maybe we
could say like I used to be really
nervous about speaking English but as
time goes on as time if we can see that
a little bit little bit as time goes on
I feel we can use the present tense I
feel more and more comfortable this is a
great point because maybe things in your
life are not finished you’re not
finished changing so we could use that
I’m going to write that sentence down
that’s a great one let’s say I I used to
be a scared to speak English
but as time goes on and I study with
Vanessa I feel great yes as time goes on
I feel
let’s make it simple I feel better so
okay let’s take a look at this sentence
really quick I used to be scared to
speak English but as time goes on so
we’re using goes and feel which are both
present tense but as time goes on I feel
better so this means you haven’t stopped
yet you’re still continuing this journey
so for example something with food like
sweet potatoes your tastes you either
like sweet potatoes or you don’t like
sweet potatoes maybe you could stay
I used to hate sweet potatoes but as
time goes on I like them more and more
it’s possible with food but especially
with activities or comfort with
something I used to hate my boss but at
the time goes on and I understand him
more and more is getting easier talk
with him this is a great a great way to
use it in the present tense thank you
thank you for bringing that up I want to
make sure I have a chance to read most
of these sentences here he choko says I
used to be a morning person but as time
went on I became let’s use the past
tense I became a night owl oh I think I
think it is the opposite for me I used
to be a night owl I used to stay awake
until 2 3 4 a.m. but as time went on I
became more um morning person or kind of
a morning person I I don’t feel as
comfortable staying up so like nowadays
wow I’m going to have to great great
great of success here says hi Vanessa I
succeeded in the IELTS exam at overall 8
congratulations I know this is not our
topic right now oh but this is perfect

great to use it for getting somewhere
else so now your opportunities are
completely open to you you could study
abroad you could teach abroad live
abroad work abroad that’s great
congratulations wonderful um let’s see
let’s take a look at o sultan says I
used to play cricket but as time went on
I changed because I’m really busy at
work you don’t have as much time yeah I
think that’s true maybe life gets in the
way oh that’s excellent Minzy Oh No
thank you for sharing make new Theo
Mitsy oh I want to make sure I’m saying
it correctly I guess I thank you for ah
all of your questions I I was writing
that I missed some so I wanted to take a
look uh-huh Delphine says can we sing as
time go by yes let’s take a look if we
said I used to hate sweet potatoes but
ah as time goes by oh yes yes so instead
of on the question is can we use by
instead of on as time goes by yes
so you can say by I’m gonna write that
here you can say by but this is a little
more formal so it’s perfectly fine it
just feels a little more formal if you
say that so great question thanks for
asking maybe some other people had a
similar question
oh right let’s see oh as time goes on I
improve my English excellent excellent
always says I used to be scared to speak
English but as time went on I got used
to it and this is exactly it if you feel
scared and you continue to try something
you’re not going to feel as scared
because you’re getting used to it
