Learn the English Word "one" and the phrase "a good one"

In this English lesson, I wanted to help you

learn some interesting ways to use the word one.

We can use the word one

sometimes in sentences like this.

You could say, that was one amazing

movie, that was one awesome song.

That was one amazing cool concert.

So somehow the word one ends up in the sentence, if

someone was in a car accident and they didn't get hurt

at all, you might say, oh, that was one lucky man.

He could have been hurt really badly,

but man, he was one lucky guy.

So it's kind of a strange use.

I don't actually know the

details of what's happening there.

Obviously we're using the word one to

emphasize something, but hopefully you think this

is one amazing English lesson.

The other word I wanted to teach you today

or the other phrase is a good one.

So this is similar where you can say,

oh, that movie, that was a good one.

Or that song, that was a good one.

I went to a concert last summer and it was a good one.

So simply using the word one to refer back

to the thing that we were talking about.

So to review, you can use the word

one for a little bit of emphasis.

You could say that is one gigantic airplane.

There's no airplanes in the sky right now.

You could say that is one enormous boat.

And you can also use the phrase a good one. That car?

Oh, that's a good one. What did you buy?

I bought a...

a Toyota RAV4.

Oh, that's a good one.

You bought a good car.

But hey, let's look at a comment from a previous video.

This comment is from Eman. Thank you.

The conversation after comments are important for me.

It helps me learn more.

And my response, I'm happy to help.

I'm sure they work well for listening practice.

So thanks, Eman for that.

Eman, for that comment. Yes.

So some people really enjoy this part of

the video where I just walk and talk.

And I can understand why because I often say to

Jen, if there was a French teacher on YouTube who

did this, I would certainly watch these videos for this

part right here because it's kind of random.

I randomly talk about all kinds of stuff. Right now

I'll just mention that I'm out

here early in the morning.

I don't know why I'm up and outside this early.

I don't need to be.

But I woke up and I couldn't sleep.

So I thought, you know what, I might

as well start to get some work done.

If you're wondering what the sound is,

that's the sound of crunchy, crunchy snow.

Since My video that you might have watched on

my larger channel yesterday, where it was frozen, the

temperature has gone up and everything melted a little

bit and now it's gone back down again.

The nice thing, though, about early morning,

I really enjoy the views like that

is one beautiful view there, isn't it?

The sun is probably up, but it's a

little bit cloudy, so you can't see.

But I just love how beautiful it

is first thing in the morning.

If you're wondering what time it

is, it's not that early.

It's like five to seven, I think right now.

Five after seven, maybe.

So, I mean, not abnormal for me to

be out and about at this time.

The other day I was going to show you.

Let's walk this way.

The other day I was sitting at my computer working

and all of a sudden there was a knock at the door.

Not sure if you can see the

footsteps that go to the fence.

Actually, I'll show you the footsteps over here.

There's a set of footsteps in the snow because all

of a sudden there was a knock at the door

and someone said they needed some gas because their snowmobile

had run out of gas on the river.

So that's a big spin.

That is one fast spin.

So I actually gave them some gas.

They wanted to pay me for it and I told

them, just help someone else later in your life.

It's no big deal for me to give them $5 worth of gas.

Two young kids, probably 14 or 15 years old.

I gave them some gas and they were on their way.

Anyways, thanks for watching.

I hope you're having a good morning and I'll see you

in a couple days with another short English lesson. Bye.
