In this lesson, I’m going to teach you the rules for using the seven most important punctuation marks, so that you can write correct English without making mistakes. There are exercises within the lesson to help you practice, and as always there is a final quiz at the end of the video. So, if you’re ready, let’s begin. We’re going to start with terminal punctuation. ‘Terminal’ means the end, so terminal punctuation marks are what we use to end a sentence. There are three of these: the period or the full stop, the exclamation mark, and the question mark. Let’s look at the period first. This mark is called the period in American English (AmE means American English), and it’s called the full stop in British English. It is used to mark the end of declarative and imperative sentences. I’ll explain. Here are some examples: “I teach English.” “We had pizza for dinner last night.” “If it rains tomorrow, I’ll bring my umbrella.” These sentences are called declarative sentences because they declare something; they give us some information. And at the end of each sentence, you see a period or full stop. Imperative sentences are commands or requests: “Please don’t feed the animals.” You might see this on a sign in a zoo. “Let me know what time your flight arrives.” “If it rains tomorrow, bring your umbrella.” Let’s now turn to the exclamation mark. It is used to convey strong emotion or feeling. Have a look at these two sentences: Both of them mean the same thing. The first sentence, which ends in a period, has no special feeling or emotion; it’s like saying “I’m really excited about my new job.” Doesn’t sound like I’m very excited, does it? That’s why we use the exclamation mark: “I’m really excited about my new job!” – it tells our reader to read the sentence with emotion – in this sentence, the emotion is excitement. This next sentence: “If you come to work late tomorrow, you’re fired!” Imagine a manger saying this to an employee. So, this expresses anger. In the same way, you can show many other feelings including surprise, joy, fear etc. using the exclamation mark. Now, both of these sentences are declarative, but you can also use the exclamation mark in an imperative sentence like this one: “Johnny, don’t play with your food!” You can imagine a mother saying that angrily to her son. So, it’s a strong or strict command. Another place where we use the exclamation mark is after interjections. Here are a couple of sentences: “Ouch! You just stepped on my foot!” “Wow! What a beautiful house!” Interjections are words like “ouch” and “wow” which are used to express feelings. So, remember: if you want to convey strong emotion in a sentence, put an exclamation mark at the end of it. If there’s no special feeling, just end the sentence with a period. OK, let’s turn now to the third terminal punctuation symbol: the question mark. It is used to mark the end of a question. So, it’s very straightforward: if a sentence is a question, then put a question mark at the end of it. Here are some examples: “What do you do?” “Are we allowed to feed the animals?” “If it rains tomorrow, should I bring my umbrella?” “Are you excited about your new job?” “Who lives in that house?” So, the rule is: if a sentence is a question, it must end with a question mark. Alright, let’s do a small exercise now. There are four sentences on the screen. I want you to add periods or full stops, exclamation marks and question marks where necessary. Stop the video, think about your answers, then play the video and check. OK, here are the answers. If you want, stop the video again, check your answers, then play the video and continue. Before we move on to the next topic, a quick note on spacing. Notice that there is no space between the last letter of a sentence and the terminal punctuation mark. If you put a space there, it’s wrong. But, when you begin a new sentence, you should leave a space after the terminal mark, and you should start the new sentence with a capital letter. #ESL #Learn English #English lesson #English grammar #vocabulary #IELTS #TOEFL #anglais #inglês #engleză #إنجليزي #Angol #Learn English Lab #punctuation #comma #period #full stop #semicolon #colon #question mark #exclamation mark #apostrophe #how to use comma #how to use semicolon #where to use comma #where to use semicolon #period or full stop #uses of comma #uses of semicolon #uses of apostrophe #how to use apostrophe #where to use apostrophe #how to use colon #where to use colon #ESL #Learn English #English lesson #English grammar #vocabulary #IELTS #TOEFL #anglais #inglês #engleză #إنجليزي #Angol #Learn English Lab #punctuation #comma #period #full stop #semicolon #colon #question mark #exclamation mark #apostrophe #how to use comma #how to use semicolon #where to use comma #where to use semicolon #period or full stop #uses of comma #uses of semicolon #uses of apostrophe #how to use apostrophe #where to use apostrophe #how to use colon #where to use colon https://english.streamdb.net/timelines/v/e_zGn3TfvRQ Sun, 26 Nov 17 18:24:17 +0900 Correct Use of 'SUPPOSED TO' - With Examples, Exercises and Quiz - English Grammar Learn the correct use of 'SUPPOSED TO'.

You may have heard native speakers say it in real life, or in movies or songs. What does it mean? And should you use it in your own speech and writing? That’s what I’m going to teach you in this lesson. As always, there is a quiz at the end of the video to check your understanding. So let’s start. Alright, ‘ain’t’ is most commonly used in the place of three forms – am not, is not, and are not. Here’s an example: “You gotta believe me. I ain’t lyin’!” What does that mean? Well, it means the same thing as “You have got to believe me. I am not lying.” Here, ‘ain’t’ means ‘am not’. I want you to notice two other things in the first sentence: it has ‘gotta’ which is a contraction of ‘got to’, and the ‘have’ is missing – it just says ‘you gotta’. The other thing is ‘lyin’ in which the ‘g’ is dropped. These are features of informal, colloquial, spoken language. But the second sentence with the same meaning is more correct and acceptable in formal or semi-formal situations. So here’s an important thing you should know: ‘ain’t’ is a very informal word. So you should never use it in any formal or semi-formal situation, especially in writing. OK, here’s another example: That guy in the blue shirt – ain’t he the new manager? So what is the meaning of ‘ain’t’ here? The meaning is ‘isn’t’ – it’s like saying “Isn’t he the new manager?” Notice how this sentence has two parts – “That guy in the blue shirt” and “ain’t he the new manager?” – that’s OK in informal speech but the sentence is not well-connected. To make it more grammatical, we can say “Isn’t that man in the blue shirt the new manager?” – it’s more complex but it’s also more formal. Alright, what about this example: A mother says to her child: “You ain’t gettin’ no dessert until you eat your vegetables.” Can you understand the meaning? It means “You aren’t not getting any dessert until you eat your vegetables.” - dessert means cake or ice cream or something like that. So here, ‘ain’t’ means ‘aren’t’. Notice that the sentence says, ‘aint’ gettin’ no dessert’ – ‘ain’t’ is already a negative, and then you have another ‘no’ – this is called a double negative and it’s grammatically incorrect. But, again, in very informal speech, you will hear that sometimes. Now, we’ve talked about using ‘ain’t’ in the place of ‘am not’, ‘is not’ and ‘are not’. In some situations, you will also see the word used in the place of ‘have not’ and ‘has not’. For example: “We’re goin’ to New York to visit some relatives ‘cuz we ain’t been there in ages.” It means “because we haven’t been there in ages.” (‘in ages’ means ‘for a long time’). Here’s another one: “I loaned Jim $100 two months ago and he ain’t paid me back yet!” What does ‘ain’t’ mean here? It means ‘hasn’t’: “I lent Jim $100 two months ago, but he hasn’t paid me back yet!” – ‘lent’ is considered a little more formal than ‘loaned’ and the conjunction ‘but’ fits better in this sentence when we’re talking a little more formally. So here are all the sentences we’ve looked at. Can you see why ‘ain’t’ is considered bad English? It’s because one word is used in the place of so many other words. So the listener gets the impression that your vocabulary is limited and that’s why you’re using ‘ain’t’ instead of the more accurate words ‘am not’, ‘isn’t, ‘aren’t’, ‘haven’t’ or ‘hasn’t’. In fact, many people in academic and professional circles consider ‘ain’t’ to be a word only used by less educated people. So my suggestion is that you avoid ain’t. I don’t use it personally. Now, if you need to say it as part of a joke or in a line from a movie, then it’s OK. But in other situations, it’s best to just not use this word. #ESL #Learn English #English lesson #English grammar #native speaker #vocabulary #conversation skills #IELTS #TOEFL #anglais #Englisch #inglês #engleză #إنجليزي #Angol #Learn English Lab #ain't #aint #what does aint mean #use of aint #meaning of aint #how to use aint #where to use aint #que significa aint #que significa ain't en ingles #ESL #Learn English #English lesson #English grammar #native speaker #vocabulary #conversation skills #IELTS #TOEFL #anglais #Englisch #inglês #engleză #إنجليزي #Angol #Learn English Lab #ain't #aint #what does aint mean #use of aint #meaning of aint #how to use aint #where to use aint #que significa aint #que significa ain't en ingles https://english.streamdb.net/timelines/v/pDpMCh5Tav0 Fri, 17 Nov 17 15:26:54 +0900 10 COMMONLY CONFUSED Word Pairs in English - May be / Maybe | Every Day / Everyday | Lose / Loose Learn how to use these 10 COMMONLY CONFUSED English word pairs correctly.

All MODAL VERBS lessons: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLmwr9polMHwvGTssgSU9KWEm2T4WiWaTj Transcript: Welcome back. In this lesson, we’re going to look at ten commonly confused pairs of words. I will show you how to avoid the confusion and use all of these correctly without making mistakes. There are two quizzes in this lesson – one in the middle and one in the end – for you to check your understanding. So let’s jump in. The first pair of words are ‘lose’ and ‘loose’. The word ‘lose’ with a single ‘o’ is a verb. The most common meaning of this verb is ‘to not have something because you can’t find it’. For example: “I don’t take my watch when I go swimming so that I don’t lose it.” Notice that the last sound in this word is /z/ - /lu:z/. Another meaning is ‘to fail to win a competition’ as in: “The team will be out of the tournament if it loses this match.” ‘Loose’ with two ‘o’s is an adjective that means ‘not fixed or not attached strongly’. For example: “It looks like you have a loose button on your shirt.” Here, the last sound is /s/ - /lu:s/” One of my teeth is loose. I think it’s going to fall off.” To recap the pronunciation, ‘lose’ has a /z/ sound at the end and ‘loose’ has a ‘s’ sound at the end – ‘lose’, ‘loose’. Number two is the pair of ‘every day’ and ‘everyday’. The difference in spelling between these forms is the space. When we write ‘every day’ with a space, it’s an adverb phrase that simply means ‘each day’. In most situations, this is the form you should use. For example: “I get up at 7 am every day.” “He goes to the gym every day.” and so on. When it’s written without a space, ‘everyday’ is an adjective that means ‘common or ordinary’. “I need to buy a pair of jeans for everyday wear.” (meaning for daily use.) “The best teachers explain difficult concepts using simple, everyday language.” That means using ordinary language. So remember that ‘every day’ with a space means ‘each day’ and without a space, it means ‘common or ordinary’. Next up are the words ‘maybe’ and ‘may be’. Again, the difference is the space. These words are very close in meaning. Both of them are used to make guesses or talk about possibility. When we write ‘maybe’ as a single word, it’s an adverb. Take this sentence: “It will rain tomorrow” – here, the main verb is ‘rain’ and there’s the helping verb ‘will’ – this is a modal verb used to make predictions about the future. So this sentence sounds like I’m confident that it will rain tomorrow. But if I’m not so sure, I can say: “Maybe it will rain tomorrow.” So the maybe at the beginning makes it a little softer – I’m not so confident. Instead, we can also say “It may rain tomorrow.” or “It might rain tomorrow.” Here, we have used the modal verb ‘may’ or ‘might’ (same meaning) to make a weak prediction or guess about the future. Here’s another example: let’s say that a baby is crying. Someone asks, “Why is the baby crying?” and the answer is “She is hungry.” That sounds like we’re very sure that that’s why the baby is crying. But what if we’re not so sure? Simple: add ‘maybe’ to the beginning of the sentence. But I have a question for you: what is the main verb in this sentence? It’s ‘is’ which is a present tense form of ‘be’. There’s no helping verb here because we don’t need one in the present tense. So here’s another way we can say this: “She may be hungry.” Here, ‘may’ is a modal verb and ‘be’ is the main verb in the sentence. This is always true when we write ‘may’ and ‘be’ as separate words: ‘may’ is a modal verb that shows uncertainty and ‘be’ is the main verb. One last example: “I forgot to get my brother a birthday present. Maybe that is why he’s angry with me.” You can also say, “That may be why he is angry with me.” If you want, stop the video, read all of this and make sure you understand. Then play the video again and continue. Number four is the pair of ‘Desert’ and ‘dessert’. ‘Desert’ (with only one ‘s’) is a noun refers to an area covered with sand where there’s no water or plant life. #ESL #Learn English #English lesson #English grammar #native speaker #vocabulary #conversation skills #IELTS #TOEFL #anglais #Englisch #inglês #engleză #إنجليزي #Angol #Learn English Lab #commonly confused words #misspelled words #english spelling #confused words #lose loose #maybe may be #everyday every day #compliment complement #spot the error #common mistakes #principal principle #homonyms #homophones #ESL #Learn English #English lesson #English grammar #native speaker #vocabulary #conversation skills #IELTS #TOEFL #anglais #Englisch #inglês #engleză #إنجليزي #Angol #Learn English Lab #commonly confused words #misspelled words #english spelling #confused words #lose loose #maybe may be #everyday every day #compliment complement #spot the error #common mistakes #principal principle #homonyms #homophones https://english.streamdb.net/timelines/v/AZytMU2BzUg Sat, 04 Nov 17 13:29:15 +0900 Correct Use of DO / DOES / DID - Basic English Grammar - with Examples, Exercises & Quiz Learn how to use DO, DOES and DID correctly.

In this lesson, I am going to show you how to use ‘do’, ‘does’, and ‘did’ correctly. I’ll first teach you the basics and then I’ll give you some usage tips that will help you to avoid mistakes with these forms. As always, there is a quiz at the end of the video. So let’s begin. Before we talk about the uses of ‘do’, ‘does’ and ‘did’, you need to know the basic grammar rule with these forms. The rule is: in the present, if the subject is I / You / We / They or any plural noun, then we use ‘do’. If the subject is He / She / It or any singular noun, then we use ‘does’. This is when we talk about the present. If we’re talking only about the past, then it’s very easy. For any subject, we use ‘did’. Alright, let’s do a quick test: in the present, what do we use with I / You / We / They or a plural? We use ‘do’. And with He / She / It or a singular noun? We use ‘does’. What about in the past? For any subject, we use ‘did’. OK, let’s now talk about the first use of these three forms. This is in making negative sentences. To understand this, let’s first take a positive sentence: “I like ice cream.” What is the verb here? It’s ‘like’ – this is called the main verb because it has the main meaning in the sentence. So let’s make this negative. In English, the rule for making negative sentences is that we add ‘not’ to the helping verb in the sentence. But wait – there’s only one verb here – ‘like’ which is the main verb. There is no other helping verb. So what do we do now? Well, we add the verb ‘do’ as a helping verb in the sentence. Then, we put ‘not’ next to it. “I do not like ice cream.” is the negative sentence. In speech, we usually shorten this to ‘don’t’ – “I don’t like ice cream.” OK, what about this? “He plays hockey.” Remember that for He / She / It in the present, we use ‘does’. Since we already have an –s in ‘does’, we remove it from the main verb – we don’t say ‘plays’, we say ‘play’ – “He does not play hockey” or “He doesn’t play hockey.” So the structure of a negative sentence in the present simple tense is subject + ‘do not’ or ‘does not’ + the main verb in its base form (remember: don’t add ‘s’ to the main verb) and then the rest of the sentence. OK, let’s do an exercise now. Here are a few more sentences. I want you to make them all negative. Stop the video, think about your answers, then play the video again and check. Alright, here are the answers: “You don’t sing very well.”, “We don’t travel to South Korea every year.”, “They don’t live in a big house.”, “She doesn’t want a new washing machine.”, “That piano doesn’t look old.” Good. Now, these sentences are all in the present tense. Let’s quickly talk about what happens when we have past tense sentences. Do you remember the rule for the past tense? That’s right, we use ‘did’ for all subjects. So we just say ‘did not’ or ‘didn’t’ plus the main verb in its base form. So here are the past tense negative sentences – I’ve made some slight changes to make them sound natural. If you want, stop the video and read them to make sure you understand. So this is the first use of ‘do’, ‘does’ and ‘did’ – making negative sentences. Let’s now move on to the second use and this is in making questions. Here’s an example: “I look good in this shirt.” Let’s make this a question. Once again, the rule is that we need an auxiliary (or helping) verb for this. Since the sentence doesn’t have a helping verb, we’re going to use ‘do’. In questions, we put the helping verb right at the beginning of the sentence. So, the structure for present simple tense questions is Do or Does + the subject + the main verb in its base form and then the rest of the sentence. So “Do I look good in this shirt?” is the correct form. In this sentence, the main verb is ‘look’. Just a quick tip: when you write, don’t forget to add the question mark at the end of a question. #ESL #Learn English #English lesson #English grammar #native speaker #vocabulary #conversation skills #IELTS #TOEFL #anglais #Englisch #inglês #engleză #إنجليزي #Angol #Learn English Lab #do does #use of do and does #do does did #do does questions #do does use #present simple tense #use of do and does in english #english grammar do does #how to use do does #ESL #Learn English #English lesson #English grammar #native speaker #vocabulary #conversation skills #IELTS #TOEFL #anglais #Englisch #inglês #engleză #إنجليزي #Angol #Learn English Lab #do does #use of do and does #do does did #do does questions #do does use #present simple tense #use of do and does in english #english grammar do does #how to use do does https://english.streamdb.net/timelines/v/QhSqfzaMuLM Fri, 20 Oct 17 20:39:37 +0900 HAVE BEEN / HAS BEEN / HAD BEEN - How to Use These Forms Correctly (with Examples) - English Grammar Learn how to use have been / has been / had been correctly.

Well, in this video, I will clear up that confusion. I’m going to teach you the three main uses of these forms how to use them correctly without making mistakes. As always, there is a quiz at the end of the video to test your understanding. Alright, let’s get started. Before we talk about the uses, you need to know the basics of where to use have, has and had been: in the present, if the subject of a sentence is I/You/We/They or a plural noun, then we use ‘have been’. If the subject is He/She/It or a singular noun, then we use ‘has been’. This is when we talk about the present. When we talk only about the past, it’s very easy. For any subject, we use ‘had been’. OK, let me test you: what do we use with He/She/It or a singular noun in the present? We use ‘has been’. What about with I/You/We/They or plural nouns? We use ‘have been’. And in the past tense? We use ‘had been’ for all subjects. Good, so let’s now look at the first use of these forms. This is in the present perfect tense. That is, to talk about actions or situations that started in the past and are still continuing. Here’s an example: “I have been working as a teacher for 7 years.” In speech, we usually shorten ‘I have’ to ‘I’ve’ – “I’ve been working as a teacher for 7 years.” Let’s look at a timeline for this. You know that I started working as a teacher seven years ago (or in 2010 because at the time of filming this video, right now, it’s 2017), and I’m still a teacher, so this action – ‘working’ is continuing. In this sentence, we can also say: “I have been working as a teacher since 2010.” The difference between ‘for’ and ‘since’ is that if you want to mention the duration (or amount of time), then you use ‘for’ (like ‘for 7 years’). If you want to mention the starting point of the action or situation, use ‘since’ (as in ‘since 2010’). Here’s another example: let’s say that this lady wants to see the doctor. Her appointment was at 3 o’clock. She came to the hospital at 3, but the doctor wasn’t there. So she started waiting at 3 o’clock and she’s still waiting – let’s say it’s 5 o’clock now, so two hours have passed. So what can we say? We can say: “She has been waiting for two hours.” or “She has been waiting since 3 o’clock.” In natural speech, we say he‘s been and she’s been: “She’s been waiting”. OK have a look at this sentence: “He has been the CEO of the company for four months” or we can say ‘since June’ because that’s when he started. Here, we don’t have an –ing verb like ‘working’ or ‘waiting’. That’s because we don’t want to focus on any action, we just want to express the situation – that he became the CEO in June and he’s still the CEO. Here’s another example: “They’ve been married for 25 years / since 1992.” When did they get married? In 1992. Are they still married now? Yes. So, they’ve been married for 25 years now. OK, so what about ‘had been’? Well, let’s change our sentences a little bit: “I had been working as a teacher for 7 years when I quit my job.” Ah, we see a different meaning here. It means that I started working as a teacher at some point in the past, I was a teacher for 7 years, but then I quit. So now, I am no longer a teacher. I want you to notice that there are two past actions here: one continuous action (“I had been working as a teacher”) and a single finished action at the end of that (“I quit”). Compare this to the previous sentence – “I have been working as a teacher” – here, there is only one continuous action and it’s still continuing, it’s not finished. So, please remember this rule: only use ‘had been’ if there were two events in the past: a continuing action or a situation and a single, finished action. So let’s go back to the other sentences. With these, we can say: “She had been waiting for two hours when the doctor finally arrived.” “He’d been the CEO of the company for only four months when it went bankrupt.” ‘Went bankrupt’ means the company lost all its money and closed down. “They had been married for 25 years when they divorced.” So are they still married? Unfortunately, no. Just like the sentences with ‘have been’ and ‘has been’ are in the present perfect tense, the sentences with ‘had been’ are in the past perfect tense. #ESL #Learn English #English lesson #English grammar #TOEFL #Learn English Lab #IELTS #has been #have been #had been #past perfect continuous #present perfect continuous #how to use have has had #how to use have been has been had been #have been has been had been #have been and had been grammar #use of have been and has been in english #has been and have been grammar #tenses #tenses in english #present perfect or past perfect #present perfect vs past perfect #ESL #Learn English #English lesson #English grammar #TOEFL #Learn English Lab #IELTS #has been #have been #had been #past perfect continuous #present perfect continuous #how to use have has had #how to use have been has been had been #have been has been had been #have been and had been grammar #use of have been and has been in english #has been and have been grammar #tenses #tenses in english #present perfect or past perfect #present perfect vs past perfect https://english.streamdb.net/timelines/v/1Dax90QyXgI Fri, 13 Oct 17 19:20:35 +0900 50 MOST COMMON MISTAKES in English Grammar - Error Identification & Correction Find out if you make the 50 MOST COMMON MISTAKES in English, and learn how to avoid them.

Transcript: I can speak English, but before I say anything, I have to make a sentence in my native language, translate that into English, and then say it. I feel like I’m not speaking fluently because of this. That is one of the most common complaints I hear from my students. So in this lesson, I’m going to teach you three exercises that will help you to stop translating in your head. These exercises will make you think 100% in English and speak fluently without hesitation. So, let’s jump right into it. Here is exercise number one – Make sentences in your head. This is the number one fastest way to start thinking in English. Throughout your day, make sentences about what is happening around you. For example, let’s say that you’re sitting on the bus and you’re going somewhere. In your head, you can start talking in English – “I like this seat, it’s nice and comfortable. Look at that couple sitting over there – what are they doing? They look very happy. They’re joking and laughing about something. Anyway, let’s look out the window. Oh, what a beautiful park. I wish I could visit it sometime.” And so on. You can do this in any situation: when you’re at home, when you’re bored at work or school, when you’re waiting at the doctor’s office, when you’re walking in the park and so on. And it will train your brain to make sentences in English. Now, while you are doing this, if you start translating, it’s OK – don’t get disappointed, because as you keep practicing, you will collect more and more sentences for everyday situations, and over time, you will translate less. Remember to do this exercise many times every day – make it a habit to regularly make sentences in your head. Exercise number two is prepare sentences for conversations. For this exercise, think about a conversation that you are going to have in the future, and come up with sentences that you can use. For example, if there’s going to be a meeting in your workplace tomorrow, what would be some useful sentences? Well, if you’re going to present an idea to your colleagues, you might say – “I strongly believe this will help our sales.” a-ha! Keep that in mind to use tomorrow. Maybe you have a colleague (let’s say his name is Teddy) and he always interrupts you while you talk – if he does that tomorrow, you can say “Hold on, Teddy, let me finish!” – there’s another sentence. In this way, for upcoming conversations, you can prepare a lot of sentences and have them in your mental store – and you can even write them down to review later. As you do this exercise more and more, you will be able to use these sentences in many future conversations automatically without thinking too much. So take time to regularly prepare sentences for conversations. Exercise number three is recap your day. Do you know the meaning of ‘recap’? Recap means to remember and summarize something – in this case, your day. So this is an exercise you should do at the end of the day – maybe just before you go to bed – or you can even do this as you’re lying in bed before you go to sleep. Imagine that you’re telling a friend about your day in English – you might say “Today was a regular day for the most part. One interesting thing that happened in college was that a friend of mine told me she’s got an internship interview coming up in two days. So I helped her prepare for it.” and so on and so forth, you get the idea. You can also make sentences about how you felt about the different things that happened, you can say what you expect to happen tomorrow etc. Aim to do this for about 5-10 minutes before you go to sleep. What I like about this exercise is that you can do it at the same time every day, which means it’s very easy to make this a habit. And so all this practice in making sentences will help you think in English automatically. OK, those are my top three exercises for learning to think in English – make sentences in your head throughout the day, prepare sentences for conversations, and recap your day before you go to sleep. As a bonus tip, there’s one more powerful exercise that you can use to build your fluency, and it’s called JAM. This is short for Just-A-Minute, and it’s a fantastic speaking exercise that you can do by yourself to improve your fluency. If you want to learn it, I have a lesson just on this exercise - you will find the link in the description, so make sure to check it out. #ESL #Learn English #English lesson #English grammar #native speaker #vocabulary #conversation skills #IELTS #TOEFL #anglais #Englisch #inglês #engleză #إنجليزي #Angol #Learn English Lab #how to think in english #English fluency #think in English #thinking in English #how to improve English fluency #speak naturally #stop translating in your head #stop translating native language #how to think directly in english #stop translating #without hesitating #ESL #Learn English #English lesson #English grammar #native speaker #vocabulary #conversation skills #IELTS #TOEFL #anglais #Englisch #inglês #engleză #إنجليزي #Angol #Learn English Lab #how to think in english #English fluency #think in English #thinking in English #how to improve English fluency #speak naturally #stop translating in your head #stop translating native language #how to think directly in english #stop translating #without hesitating https://english.streamdb.net/timelines/v/W_z5uPX2pdY Sat, 30 Sep 17 18:21:16 +0900 1 Simple Method to Improve Your Spelling - How to Write Correctly & Avoid Spelling Mistakes Learn how to write correctly without spelling mistakes using this simple method.

Transcript: Do you make lots of spelling mistakes? Do you have difficulty remembering the correct spellings of words? Well, in this lesson, I’m going to teach you an easy, three-step method to improve your spelling and write correctly without making mistakes. So let’s talk about that. OK, the first step of this exercise is to find your spelling mistakes. You do this by checking your own writing. If you are a student, then I’m sure you write a lot. If you work, you might write emails or reports. So, at least once per week, take your writing, and try to find spelling mistakes that you have made. Now, I know that this can be difficult – you don’t know what mistakes you’re making. So there are two great ways to know your mistakes – the first is to ask someone else to read your work and underline or circle any errors (and also give you the correct spellings). The second option is to take your writing and type it (or copy/paste it) into Microsoft Word. The software will then underline your spelling mistakes for you and give you the corrections. This way, you can identify your own errors. OK, let’s do an exercise to understand this process: Here’s a short text that I wrote – there are five spelling errors in it. Stop the video, try to find the mistakes, then play the video again and check. OK, here are the answers: ‘a lot’ should be spelled with a space. ‘Definitely’ has no ‘a’ – it should be an ‘i’. ‘Received’ is written with ‘ei’ not ‘ie’. ‘Rhythm’ needs to have an ‘h’ after ‘r’. And ‘schedule’ needs to start with ‘sch’. OK, did you find them all? Alright, so like this, you identify the words that you are spelling incorrectly and learn their correct spellings. And now comes the important part – record the correct spellings of these words. That means, you should note down the correct spellings of all the words you spelled wrongly in a notebook or in a file on your computer. You should write the spellings on one side of the page, and on the other, you should write the phonetic transcription – that is, the same word in pronunciation symbols – this will allow you to see the difference between the spelling and the pronunciation, and you will also be able to test yourself later. Now, I know that you don’t know all of these symbols, that’s OK – they’re very easy, you can find them by looking up each word in a dictionary. So just like I have done here, you should take all of the words – note down the correct spellings, and also note down the phonetic transcription. Finally, the last step is review the spellings regularly. You do this so that you don’t forget the correct spellings. Make one day of the week your spelling improvement day (maybe Saturday or Sunday). On this day, test yourself on the spellings. To do this, open your notebook and hide the spellings. Only look at the pronunciation symbols. Now, can you give me the correct spellings of these words that we just learned? Stop the video, try to write down the correct spellings, then play the video again and check. OK, here they are. Did you get them all right? So, you should do this for your own spellings that you write down. By testing yourself, you will remember the correct spellings and you will not make the same mistakes again. You should do these three steps regularly – find your mistakes, record the correct spellings, and test yourself regularly. As you do this, you will start to collect more and more words. This means that your mistakes will reduce, and eventually, you will be able to write without making spelling errors. Alright, if you liked this lesson, give it a thumbs up by hitting the like button.

Transcript: Hello there. You know, I get this question all the time – both from my students in my classes and on YouTube – what is the difference between ‘can’ and ‘could’? Well, in this lesson, I will teach you the three main differences between these modal verbs and I’ll show you how to use them correctly without making mistakes. As always, there is a quiz at the end of the video to test your understanding. The very first thing you should know is the basic use of ‘can’. This verb is used to show ability. Here are some examples: I can play the guitar. He can lift heavy weights. She can beat anyone at chess! So, all of these express ability. What about what ‘could’ then? Well, ‘could’ is just the past tense of can. I can say: I could play the guitar when I was in school. That means, I had the ability in the past, but now I can’t play the guitar because it’s been a long time and I’m out of practice. Here a couple more examples: He could lift heavy weights until he had the accident. She could beat anyone at chess in her prime! ‘In her prime’ means in her best years. Maybe when she was younger and was playing competitively. So in these sentences – ‘can’ shows present ability, and ‘could’ shows past ability. This is the first difference between the two words. The second difference is when we want to talk about possibility. To talk about what is possible, we normally use ‘could’ and not ‘can’. Now, imagine that you and me, we’re both waiting for a train at a train station. It’s time for the train to arrive but we don’t see it. So I might say: Hmm, the train could be late. So I’m making a guess about the current (or the present) situation, saying what is possible. Here’s another one: If you don’t study, you could fail the exam. Are you sure to fail the exam? No. You could pass. But I’m saying that it’s possible that if you don’t study, you’ll fail. Notice that this sentence talks about future possibility. Ah, but I have a question – we just talked about present and future possibility. Can we talk about past possibility? Yes, we can. Here’s an example: Robert could have gotten the job if he had gone to the interview. So what do we understand from that? Well, there was a job interview. It was possible for Robert to go to the interview and get the job. But he didn’t go. So he didn’t get the job. Now, as I said before, we use ‘could’ in all these sentences to talk about what’s possible in the past, present, and future, but there is one situation where you can use ‘can’ and that is when you want to talk about general possibility. For example: You can catch a cold if you go out in the rain. Traveling across Europe can be quite expensive. You can see that these are just general statements about what is possible in the world. In this case, it’s OK to use ‘can’, but this use is less common. Normally, when we talk about possibility in our lives we use ‘could’. Remember that. Alright, let’s now move on to the final use of ‘can’ and ‘could’, and this is in polite expressions when we talk to people. There are four situations you need to know about. The first is making suggestions. For this purpose, we use ‘could’. Here are some examples: We could try that new Italian restaurant tonight. You could ask your sister to lend you some money. In the first sentence, I’m making a suggestion about where we can have dinner. In the second, I’m suggesting that if you need money, why don’t you ask your sister? Using ‘could’ just makes it very polite. The second situation is making requests. Here, both ‘can’ and ‘could’ are possible: Can you pass me the salt? Could you pass me the salt, please? Or on the phone: Can I speak to Rahul? Could I speak to Rahul, please? Did you notice that I said ‘please’ at the end of the sentences with ‘could’? That’s because ‘could’ is more polite than ‘can’. So if you are in a formal situation, like if you’re talking to your boss or other superior and you want to be very polite, use ‘could’. If you’re with friends or family, then ‘can’ is fine. Our next function is making offers: Can I get you something to drink? Could I get you something to drink, sir? Can I help you with that? Could I help you with that, madam? Again, notice the extra politeness with ‘could’. Finally, the last conversational situation is when we want to ask for permission. Here are some sentences: Can I borrow your pen? Could I borrow your pen, please? Can I take the day off tomorrow? Could I take the day off tomorrow? If you’re very friendly with your boss at work, you would use ‘can’, but if your boss is very strict, then you would use ‘could’. #ESL #Learn English #English lesson #English grammar #native speaker #vocabulary #conversation skills #IELTS #TOEFL #anglais #Englisch #inglês #engleză #إنجليزي #Angol #Learn English Lab #modal verbs #can #could #correct use of could #how to use could #how to use can #can vs could #can or could #difference between can and could #correct use of can #correct use of can and could #how to use can and could #ESL #Learn English #English lesson #English grammar #native speaker #vocabulary #conversation skills #IELTS #TOEFL #anglais #Englisch #inglês #engleză #إنجليزي #Angol #Learn English Lab #modal verbs #can #could #correct use of could #how to use could #how to use can #can vs could #can or could #difference between can and could #correct use of can #correct use of can and could #how to use can and could https://english.streamdb.net/timelines/v/kVZwON5jbRo Sat, 23 Sep 17 19:43:38 +0900 Tell Me About Yourself - The PERFECT ANSWER to This Interview Question Learn how to give the PERFECT answer to the interview question - "Tell me about yourself".

Transcript: “Tell me about yourself” – this is usually the first question you will hear in an interview. Giving a good answer means that you will create a strong, positive impression on the interviewer. In this video, I will give you a three-step formula to give the perfect answer to this question every time. So let’s talk about it. So you go into the interview room, shake hands with the interviewer (or interviewers, if there’s more than one person), and you sit down. And then comes the question – “Tell me about yourself.” How do you begin? Well, the best way to start your answer is with a 1-sentence introduction. This sentence should summarize who you are. For example, if I were applying for a teaching job, I would say “I am an English teacher and teacher trainer with 7 years' experience in the ESL industry.” ESL means English as a Second Language. Notice that this sentence tells you that I am an English teacher, I’m also a teacher trainer (meaning that I train other teachers), and that I have 7 years’ experience in the field. So it’s a good summary of me as the candidate for the job. Now, if you just graduated from college, and you’re applying for your first job, you can say: “I am a recent graduate with a BBA in Operations Management” for example. So, this is the introduction. After this, you should say three to five sentences about your achievements. These sentences should show why you are a good fit for this job. This part is where you impress the interviewer. If I were a candidate, I would talk about my successes as a teacher: I would say that I specialize in teaching business English to professionals. I’d mention the fact that I have trained executives from multinational corporations. I’d then say that the success of my training programs have made these clients repeat customers – meaning that they have come back to my company for more training. Finally I would mention that I do teacher training, helping English teachers to deliver better lessons in their classrooms. These are my strong points. When you prepare your answer, think of three to five points about your achievements. If you are a recent graduate, mention your accomplishments in college (like your projects), and your other academic successes. Now, at this point, the interviewer must be impressed with you. They will have gained a good deal of respect for your skills. But, they might be thinking – well, you’ve done all this and you sound like a real professional, but why do you want to come and work here – in this company? So, your closing statement should be your answer for why you want this job. And here, it’s never good to say “I hate my boss” or “all my coworkers are plotting against me” or something else that’s negative about your present job. Instead, if you’re changing jobs, you should make it sound positive. I might say “I’m very happy in my current job, but I’m looking for a more challenging role. One where I can use my skills in a managerial position. That’s why I want this job.” Or, if I were a recent graduate, I would say “I am looking for a job where I can put my education and skills to use, where I will be challenged to grow and learn, and contribute to the success of the company.” And with this closing statement, you end your answer. OK, now that you know the formula, let me show you my complete answer as an example. Imagine that I’m applying to be a senior English teacher at a language school. I go in for the interview, and the interviewer says “Tell me about yourself”. Here’s my answer: I am an English teacher and teacher trainer with 7 years' experience in the ESL industry. I specialize in teaching business English to professionals and have trained executives from a number of multinational corporations. My training programs for these companies have focused on making their executives better communicators, particularly in working with their overseas colleagues and customers. Thanks to the success of these programs, many corporate clients have become repeat customers for the company I work for. Aside from teaching business English, I have also delivered workshops for teachers, aiming to help them teach English with a more practical, communicative, skills-based approach. Needless to say, I’m very happy in my current job, it’s extremely fulfilling, but I’m looking for a more challenging managerial role where I can apply my teaching expertise, and that’s why I’m here today. So remember the formula – start with a strong introduction, then talk about 3-5 of your achievements, and finally, end with a statement on why you want this job. #ESL #Learn English #English lesson #English grammar #native speaker #conversation skills #inglês #engleză #إنجليزي #Learn English Lab #tell me about yourself #tell me something about yourself #interview answers #good interview answers #tell me about yourself good answer #job interview #job interview questions #interview secrets #job interview questions and answers #tell me about yourself interview answer example #interview tips #common interview questions #ESL #Learn English #English lesson #English grammar #native speaker #conversation skills #inglês #engleză #إنجليزي #Learn English Lab #tell me about yourself #tell me something about yourself #interview answers #good interview answers #tell me about yourself good answer #job interview #job interview questions #interview secrets #job interview questions and answers #tell me about yourself interview answer example #interview tips #common interview questions https://english.streamdb.net/timelines/v/BPdosXqo2YM Thu, 21 Sep 17 20:47:41 +0900 Correct Use of WILL and WOULD | What's the Difference? | Modal Verbs in English Grammar Learn how to use the modal verbs WILL and WOULD correctly in this lesson.

Transcript: ‘Will’ and ‘would’. These two verbs cause a lot of confusion for English learners. So, in this video, I’m going to clear up that confusion for you. I will teach you the difference between these two modal verbs, and I’ll show you how to use them correctly without making mistakes. As always, there is a quiz at the end to test your understanding. Alright, there are three main differences between ‘will’ and ‘would’. Let’s start with the most basic use of the two verbs. We use the verb ‘will’ to talk about the future. One very common use is to make a prediction, or say what we expect to happen in the future. Take this sentence: We will be in Hong Kong by 8 pm tomorrow. That means, we are traveling to Hong Kong and I expect that if our flight is on time, we will be there by 8 o’ clock tomorrow night. This next sentence also talks about the future but it’s a little different. I’m not hungry, so I will just have an orange juice. Imagine that you’re sitting in a restaurant with a friend and you say this. Here, you’re not talking about the distant future, you’re talking about the immediate future. In other words, here ‘will’ is used to express a decision that you have made. We also use ‘will’ to make a promise to someone: I’ll send you all the details by email. So, I’m promising to do something for you. OK, so that’s ‘will’. What about ‘would’? Well, ‘would’ is simply the past tense form of ‘will’. So imagine that we didn’t reach Hong Kong by 8 pm. Our flight was late. We only reached there at 2 in the morning. So then, we might look back at the past and say: We thought we would be in Hong Kong by 8 pm. But that didn’t happen. We often use ‘would’ when we report a past conversation – that is, we say what someone said in the past. For example: I wasn’t hungry, so I said that I would just have an orange juice. It’s the same sentence that we saw with ‘will’, but changed to the past tense. And the last sentence becomes: She said she would send me all the details by email. OK, now you know the basic use of ‘will’ and ‘would’. So let’s look at a more challenging use of these two verbs. This is the area of most confusion for people, and it is conditionals. That means sentences where you have a condition and a result. For example: If it rains tomorrow, I’ll bring my umbrella. That’s pretty easy. You see that I’m talking about something I will do in the future (“I’ll bring my umbrella”), but only on one condition – “if it rains.” Here’s another one: If Jared stops playing video games, his grades will improve. What do you understand by that? Well, it means that Jared probably spends a lot of time playing video games, so his grades are not very good. But if he stops playing video games, then he can spend more time studying, and we expect that his grades will improve. In both of these sentences, we’ve used ‘will’. And that is because both of these are real situations (these are both possible). This type of sentence is called the first conditional. But sometimes, we want to talk about imaginary or unreal situations. For example: If I had wings, I would fly all over the world. Obviously, this is not possible. I can’t grow wings, so all I’m doing is I’m using my imagination. Notice that we have used the past tense throughout this sentence – ‘If I had wings,’ – ‘I would fly’. We’re not talking about the past, but this past tense, including ‘would’, just shows that this is not real – it’s imaginary. Now, let’s go back to Jared and his video game addiction. What if I said: If Jared stopped playing video games, his grades would improve. It’s similar to the sentence with ‘will’, but using the past tense (with ‘would’) just shows that I don’t think this is possible. Jared is not going to stop, he’s just going to keep playing video games, and his grades are never going to improve. Remember, with ‘will’ it’s possible, with ‘would’ it’s not possible, it’s imaginary. And this type of sentence is called the second conditional. But there’s one more – the third conditional. This is used to talk about past conditions. Imagine that Jared had his exam, and as we expected, his grades were poor. So then we can say: If Jared had stopped playing video games, his grades would have improved. So here, we’re talking about a condition in the past. Notice that we say ‘had stopped’ (this is the past perfect tense) in the condition, and we use ‘would have’ in the result. #ESL #Learn English #English lesson #English grammar #native speaker #vocabulary #conversation skills #IELTS #TOEFL #anglais #Englisch #inglês #engleză #إنجليزي #Angol #Learn English Lab #would #correct use of would #how to use would #modal verbs #will #will vs would #will or would #difference between will and would #correct use of will #correct use of will and would #how to use will #how to use will and would #ESL #Learn English #English lesson #English grammar #native speaker #vocabulary #conversation skills #IELTS #TOEFL #anglais #Englisch #inglês #engleză #إنجليزي #Angol #Learn English Lab #would #correct use of would #how to use would #modal verbs #will #will vs would #will or would #difference between will and would #correct use of will #correct use of will and would #how to use will #how to use will and would https://english.streamdb.net/timelines/v/8KU2eobDMqs Sat, 16 Sep 17 22:00:35 +0900 Speak English Fluently Like a Native Speaker with Just 10 WORDS! - Gonna, wanna, gotta, gimme etc. Learn how to speak English fluently like a native speaker with just 10 words!

Transcript: Are you looking to improve your English pronunciation? Would you like to sound more natural and like a native speaker when you talk? Well this video will help you to do exactly that. In this lesson, I'm going to teach you 10 English words that are used very commonly in everyday conversation. These are key to both speaking fluently and sounding like a native speaker when you talk. So what are these ten words? They are gonna, wanna, hafta and gotta, kinda, gimme, lemme, cuz, shoulda coulda and woulda. I'll show you how to say all of these correctly. There are important grammar notes and bonus words at the end so make sure to watch the full video. Now, a quick note before we start: just remember that these spellings are only for understanding the pronunciation. When you write, please do not write these spellings. Write the full forms (like going to). Alright so let's start with the first word - gonna. Gonna is a reduction of going to and it's used when we talk about the future. Notice that it's not /'go.nə/. It's pronounced /'gə.nə/. Here are some sentences. Practice saying them after me. I'm gonna buy a car. What are you gonna eat? I think it's gonna rain soon. OK, let's move on to number two - 'wanna;. This is a reduction of want to. I wanna see a movie tonight. Do you wanna come with us? The children wanna play outside. If the subject of a sentence is he/she/it or any singular noun, we add 's' to the verb want and it becomes wants to. This can be reduced to wantsta. He wants to leave. She wants to see you. Number three is hafta. This is a reduction of have to. We say hafta because it's easier to say that way. I hafta go now. You hafta wait for me. We hafta pay for the meal. If the subject is he/she/it or a singular noun, we use has to which is reduced to hasta. He hasta do his homework. She hasta work tomorrow. In English, have to and has to can also be expressed as have got to or has got to and they mean the same thing. Got to can be reduced to gotta so you can say I've gotta go now. You've gotta wait for me. We've gotta pay for the meal. He's gotta do his homework. She's gotta work tomorrow. Let's move on to number four - kinda. This is kind of and it means type of. There's some kinda problem with my phone. But it can also be used to express something negative politely. This movie is kinda boring. She's kinda rude. This room is kinda dirty. Number five is gimme. This is a reduction of give me. Could you gimme a ride home? Gimme a second. I'll be right with you. Can you gimme change for 10 dollars? A related word is lemme which is a reduction of let me. Lemme help you with that. Lemme know if you need anything. Lemme get back to you on that. Let's move on to number seven - cuz. This is a reduction of the word because. We missed the train cuz we were late. Ben got fired cuz he yelled at his boss. I'm not gonna eat anything cuz I'm not hungry. Next up is shoulda. This is basically should have. You shoulda studied more for your exam. I shoulda brought more money. i shouldna quit my job. You shouldna eaten that pizza. Number nine is coulda which is a reduction of could have. He coulda bought Jane a birthday present. They coulda called us before coming. I couldna done it without your help. She couldna called me because she doesn't have my number. And finally number ten is woulda which is a reduction of would have. If I had known it was going to rain I woulda brought my umbrella. Liz woulda gotten the promotion if she had worked harder. I wouldna gotten so angry if you had told me the truth. If you had been driving more carefully you wouldna had the accident. OK now that you've practiced saying the words let's look at a couple of important grammar notes relating to them. All of the forms that you just learned are informal expressions meaning that it's not a good idea to use them in formal situations for example when you talk to your boss at work or when you're giving a speech In those cases use the full forms. Also you should never use these in writing When you write use the correct spelling going to, want to etc. But the good news is that you can use these reductions in all other speaking situations and they will help you to sound more like a native speaker of English. Grammar point number two relates to gonna. In the sentence I'm gonna buy a car notice that there is a main verb - that is an action - buy. So going to or gonna just acts as a helping verb to show that we are talking about the future. But have a look at these sentences - I'm going to California next week. Are you going to the party on Saturday? In both of these sentences going is the main verb. #ESL #Learn English #English lesson #English grammar #native speaker #vocabulary #conversation skills #IELTS #TOEFL #anglais #Englisch #inglês #engleză #إنجليزي #Angol #Learn English Lab #improve fluency #improve pronunciation #become fluent #accent training #american accent #speak english fluently #speak fluently #english fluency #pronunciation training #american accent training #sound like a native speaker #ESL #Learn English #English lesson #English grammar #native speaker #vocabulary #conversation skills #IELTS #TOEFL #anglais #Englisch #inglês #engleză #إنجليزي #Angol #Learn English Lab #improve fluency #improve pronunciation #become fluent #accent training #american accent #speak english fluently #speak fluently #english fluency #pronunciation training #american accent training #sound like a native speaker
