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
aristotle hello aristotle aristotle says
could you please differentiate pass time
past time and past time sure great
question okay let's start with pass time
to past time to pass time or you might
also hear to pass the time means just to
use time in such a way that it becomes
later slowly so another way to think
about this could be to waste time in
some cases or maybe just to relax so you
are doing some action in order to use
some time up we use this expression when
we have to wait a while before our next
activity or our next appointment or when
we just have no plans for the day and
we're just hanging out at the house we
can say i'm just passing time or i'm
just doing this to pass the time so this
is how we use past time
next let's talk about pastime so pastime
is one word a pastime this is a noun
refers to something you did in your
childhood like a story that you really
like to read all the time or a game that
you really like to play something that
you did with your family or your friends
those things are referred to as pastimes
so typically we associate them with good
memories so you could say for example
like ah that's one of my favorite
pastimes i loved reading that book with
my family
okay the final question that you had was
about past time past time this
expression means it's beyond the time at
which something was supposed to happen
so for example it's past time for lunch
we should go or it's past time to start
the meetings everything okay so past
time refers to something that is beyond
an expected time so i hope this helps
answer your question thanks very much
okay let's get to your next question
next question comes from zachary hi
zachary zachary says hi alicia does one
say
102 or 102 or are both correct also does
one say half hour or half an hour thank
you okay first your question about 102
or 103 or 103 whatever both of those are
fine you can choose whichever you prefer
so for example in our channel name
english class 101 we typically say 101
because that's the pattern we use for
school for college level classes or
maybe other level classes
in those cases the pattern we use is to
read the numbers individually 101
however when you are reading any other
number you can use either pattern you
prefer 101 is fine 101 is fine i think i
probably usually say 101 that's probably
what i would say or 102 but you may hear
people say 101 102 and drop that
and in the middle so it's up to you for
that one your second question was about
half hour or half an hour this kind of
depends a little bit on the person and
it depends on the grammar of the
sentence so for example if you said
something like this should take about a
half hour that's probably pretty normal
in most cases but it's maybe not
grammatically correct you might hear
people say that if you ask how long will
this take someone might respond
probably a half hour but if you want to
be super grammatically correct you could
say this will take about a half an hour
so it's sort of up to you with this one
in a lot of cases you might hear that
half hour used but if you're ever not
sure i would recommend using half an
hour
in your text and in your speech so i
hope that this answers your questions
thanks very much all right on to the
next one next is from sbs hello sbs sbs
says how do i study english with your
playlists i can't seem to find a grammar
playlist ah okay perhaps the playlist
was added after you sent this question
so for anyone else who has this question
or who wants to know how to study with
our youtube videos if you check the
playlists section of the english class
101 youtube channel you can scroll along
to find some grammar playlists so
there's basic english grammar you'll
find a lot of whiteboard lessons that
you can check there so i recommend
reviewing those playlists from time to
time as we update them every once in a
while so if you haven't checked the
playlists recently please go do so you
might find some things that can help you
there thanks for the question and i hope
you find what you need okay let's move
on to your next question next is from
tin tin finn from vietnam hi tin i hope
you said your name right uh tin says hi
alicia i'm from vietnam i want to know
the difference between do you mind and
would you mind okay great question do
you mind versus would you mind a lot of
it can depend on the tone of voice but
generally speaking we use do you mind if
we're a little bit irritated with
someone or we can use do you mind if
we're a little irritated with someone
for example someone is typing very very
noisily when we're trying to talk to
someone on the phone we might say do you
mind typing a little slower if you want
to make it sound a little more polite
you could say would you mind typing a
little bit slower but if we want to
communicate that feeling of irritation
or annoyance we would probably say do
you mind doing this if you want to sound
really aggressive you can just say
angrily do you mind but that sounds
quite direct so hopefully you don't need
to use that so do you mind is a way to
ask someone to do something like do you
mind helping me with this or do you mind
stopping that activity for me it feels a
little bit more direct to use do you
mind
when you use would you mind it sounds a
little more polite in my opinion uh it
sounds like something you would use for
a request more like would you mind
helping me with this or would you mind
doing this for me so that sounds a
little bit more like a polite kind
thoughtful request i would use do you
mind if i want to express a little bit
of anger or a little bit of irritation
with someone you might hear people use
them
interchangeably but i would suggest you
pay attention to the tone of voice they
use when they use this expression either
expression that will give you a good
hint if you're not sure all right thanks
very much for your question let's move
on to the next one next one is from
jefferson hi jefferson jefferson says
what is the difference between these me
myself him himself you yourself her
herself and it itself good question a
little grammar review so let's look at
uh me and myself just to choose one for
an example we use me as the object of a
verb right like you hit me for example
we use myself when we're talking
reflexively about something so what does
that mean when we're talking reflexively
or when we're using a verb reflexively
it means that the subject is also the
object of the verb so i used hit in my
example sentence like you hit me or
something like that if i want to make
this sentence a reflexive sentence or if
i want to use hit reflexively i would
say i hit myself i would not say i hit
me so in cases where your subject is
also the object of the verb you need to
use this reflexive pronoun so itself
himself herself we could use the same
pattern if we want to change the subject
for example he hit himself she hit
herself we would not say he hit him
that's a totally different sentence that
means there are two people involved one
person hits another male person he hit
him so the point is these myself himself
herself these words these are called
reflexive pronouns and we use them when
the subject and the object of the verb
are the same so i hope that this helps
you thanks very much for the question
okay that is everything that i have for

大家好，欢迎回来询问艾丽西亚
您问我的每周系列
问题，我回答他们也许可以，
让我们来回答你
本周的第一个问题本周第一个问题来自
亚里士多德你好亚里士多德亚里士多德说
你能区分
过去时间和过去时间当然很好的
问题好吧让我们从
过去时间到过去时间开始 打发时间，或者你也可能
听说打发时间意味着只是
以这样一种方式使用时间，它会
慢慢变得迟一些，所以另一种
思考方式可能是在某些情况下浪费时间，
或者只是放松，所以你
正在做一些事情
当
我们必须等待一段时间才能进行下一次
活动或下一次约会时，或者当
我们当天没有计划并且我们
正在 e 只是在家里闲逛 我们
可以说我只是在打发时间或者我
只是为了打发时间所以这
就是我们如何利用过去的时间
接下来让我们谈谈消遣 所以消遣
是一个词消遣 这是一个 名词
指的是您在童年时所做的事情，
例如您真正
喜欢一直阅读的故事或
您真正喜欢玩的游戏
您与家人或朋友一起做
的事情这些事情被称为消遣
所以通常我们 将它们与美好的回忆联系起来，
这样你就可以说，
例如，啊，这是我最
喜欢的消遣之一
应该
发生，例如，
我们应该去吃午饭了，或者是开始会议的时间已经过去了，
一切都好，所以过去的
时间是指
超出预期时间的事情，所以我希望这有助于
回答你 问题 非常感谢
好的 让我们来回答你的下一个问题
下一个问题来自 zachary
嗨 zachary zachary 说你好 alicia 一个
说
102 或 102 或者两者都正确 还有
一个说半小时或半小时
谢谢 好的 首先你的问题是关于 102
或 103 或 103 两者都
可以，您可以选择您喜欢的任何一个
，例如，在我们的频道名称中，
英语课程 101 我们通常说 101，
因为这是我们
用于大学水平课程或
其他水平课程的模式
在这些情况下 我们使用的模式是
单独读取数字 101
但是，当您读取任何其他
数字时，您可以使用您喜欢的任何一种模式
101 很好 101 很好 我想我
可能通常会说 101 这可能
就是我要说的或 102 但你可以 听到
人们说 101 102 并把
它放在中间，所以这取决于你
，你的第二个问题大约是
半小时或半小时，这
有点取决于 p erson，
这取决于句子的语法，
例如，如果您说
这样的话应该需要大约
半小时，这
在大多数情况下可能很正常，但语法上可能不
正确，您可能会听到
人们说，如果您问要多久
这需要某人可能会回应
半小时，但如果你想在
语法上超级正确，你可以
说这将需要大约半小时，
所以在很多情况下，这取决于你，
你可能会听到
半小时 用过，但如果你
不确定我会建议
在你的文字和演讲中使用半小时，所以我
希望这能回答你的问题，
非常感谢，
下一个是来自 sbs 你好 sbs sbs
说如何 我用你的播放列表学习英语吗？
我似乎找不到语法
播放列表啊，好吧，也许播放列表
是在你发送这个问题后添加的，
所以对于有这个问题
或想知道如何与我们一起学习的其他人来说
youtube 视频 如果您查看
英语课 101 youtube 频道的播放列表部分，
您可以
滚动查找一些语法播放列表，因此
有基本的英语语法，您会
发现很多白板课程，
您可以在那里查看，所以我建议您
查看这些播放列表
我们不时更新它们
，所以如果你最近没有检查
播放列表，请去做，这样你
可能会在那里找到一些可以帮助你的
东西谢谢你的问题，我希望
你能找到你需要的东西，好吧，让我们
继续你的下一个问题下一个
来自越南的 tin tin finn 嗨 tin 我希望
你说你的名字是对的 uh tin 说你好
alicia 我来自越南我想知道
你介意和介意之间的区别
吗 好问题
你介意与你介意吗？
很大程度上取决于语调，但
一般来说，我们使用 do you mind if
we's a little irrity with
someone or we can use do you mind if
we're a little irrit 与某人
一起吃饭 例如，
当我们试图与某人通电话时，某人打字非常嘈杂，
我们可能会说，你
介意打字慢一点吗？如果你
想让它听起来更有礼貌，
你可以说你介意吗 打字
慢一点，但如果我们想表达
那种刺激
或烦恼的感觉，我们可能会说
你介意这样做
吗
不需要使用它，所以你介意是一种
要求某人做某事的方法，比如
你介意帮我做这个吗，还是介意
为我停止那个活动？
感觉更直接使用你
介意
当你 在我看来，你介意这听起来
更有礼貌吗，呃，这
听起来更像是你会
用于请求的东西，更像是你介意
帮我解决这个问题还是介意
为我做这个，这样
听起来更像是一个 宝
如果我想对某人表达
一点愤怒或一点点恼怒
，你介意吗？你可能会听到人们互换使用
它们，
但我建议你
注意他们
在 他们使用这种表达方式 如果您不确定是否可以，这两种
表达方式都会给您一个很好的
提示
非常感谢您的问题 让我们
继续下一个 下一个来自
jefferson 嗨 jefferson jefferson 说
这些我有什么区别
我自己，他自己，你自己，她
自己，这本身就是一个很好的问题，一个
小语法复习，所以让我们看看
呃我和我自己，只是为了选择
一个例子，我们用我作为动词的宾语，
就像你打我一样，例如
我们用我自己 当我们
反身地谈论某事时，这是
什么意思，当我们反身地谈论
或当我们反身地使用动词时，
这意味着主语
也是动词的宾语，所以我用 hit in my
example sentence like you hit me or
something if I want to make
this sentence as a reflexive sentence
也是动词的宾语，你需要
使用这个反身代词，所以
他自己，
如果我们想改变主语
，我们可以使用相同的模式，例如他打自己，她打
自己，我们不会说他打他
，那是完全不同的 这
意味着涉及两个人的句子一个
人打另一个男人他打
他所以重点是这些我
自己这些词这些被称为
反身代词我们
在动词的主语和宾语
相同时使用它们所以我 希望这对
