20 Useful English Verbs for Daily Routines

Today I'm going to teach you some essential English vocabulary because we are going to

look at daily routines. These are the things that you do every day. And if you want to

tell someone about your life, these are the words you need. So without any delay, let's

get going.

Welcome to Eat Sleep Dream English, if you haven't met me before my name is Tom and I

teach fresh modern British English so that you can take your English to the next level

and achieve your life goals. Today we're looking at daily routines. It's so important to learn

these words because these are the words that we use all the time to talk about lives. So

there are three sections to this lesson. First section, I'm going to show you the verbs that

we do in our day to day lives and I want you to write down on a piece of paper or on your

phone or wherever. I want you to write down what the verbs are in English, ok? Then I'm

going to show you what the verbs are and we'll do pronunciation. And that will all be in

the present tense and then we're going to move to the past tense and learn all these

verbs in the past. Ok, so first of all I'm going to show you my daily routine and I want

you to think of what the verb phrase is. Alright, are we ready? Are we steady? Let's do this.

Ok, how many did you get? Did you get all of them? Alright, let's go through them again

with the pronunciation.

Ok, now we've looked at them in the present tense this is an opportunity for you to go

down into the comments below and leave a few sentences, example sentences using the verb

phrases, ok? So you could say 'I usually wake up at seven o'clock'.' 'I always have breakfast

before I have a shower.' 'I never leave work before seven.' Whatever is true for you I

want you to write it in the comments below. Use the adverbs of frequency. So always, never,

sometimes and also the verb phrases as well. Alright, cool. Now if you guys want to go

further with this. I mean do you? Do you want to go deeper with your English? Ok, we've

looked at the present tense with all these verb phrases, now let's switch them into the

past tense. So these action didn't happen today, they happened yesterday or the day

before or three weeks ago. Whatever it might be. Let's work with the idea that it was yesterday.

Ok, so let's go through the actions again in the past tense.

What I'd like you to do

is if you have got to this part of the video, you've looked at the present

tense, you've looked at the past tense. Write a couple of sentences in the comments below

telling me first of all what your daily routine normally is but then what you did today. So

for example 'Usually I have cereal for breakfast but today I had an egg.' Alright, so usually

I have cereal for breakfast but today I had an egg. So you can see there for the things

that I do every day, I keep it in the present tense so I usually have cereal for breakfast.

I usually have, present tense. But today it was different and I used the past tense. Because

this is complete, alright? It's a complete action. I'm not still having breakfast, it's

finished so I had an egg. So I want you to do the same thing. Write what you normally

do. Your daily routine but write what you did today in the past tense. Put that in the

comments below and I'm going to go down, read them and give you the feedback that you need.
