2
14480

3
20160
5760
00:25
going to be easier with a teacher but this is how  you would do it by yourself if you're trying to  
4
25920
4920
00:30
improve by yourself uh the lit man nice to see you  there hello sir nice to see everybody out there  
5

7280
00:38
all right let me wipe off the board and we'll get  started I'm starting a little bit earlier [Music]
6
38120
6800
00:44
today now I wanted to make this video what Nils  is there first and George right on time oh no  
7
44920
9960
00:54
as you thought you were first or so you thought  oh Diana is there nice to see there Elaine all  
8
54880
5440
01:00
right great to see everybody here uh let's hop  in and just get started in the video Let me let  
9
60320
5160
01:05
me see if I might be might be crooked over here  let me fix this camera all right let me know if  
10
65480
9440
01:14
that's looking better I think that should be  okay all right thanks for spending your time  
11
74920
4200
01:19
with me well thank you for spending your time  with me it's nice to see everybody out there  
12
79120
4240
01:23
all right uh the reason I wanted to make this  video is because a member of fluent for life was  
13
83360
5040
01:28
asking a question about a particular grammar  Point sometimes I like to do this to go even  
14
88400
5200
01:33
into more detail we answer questions inside the  program for people every day so whatever people  
15
93600
5680
01:39
have questions about uh the goal is to end the  doubt that people have about vocabulary or grammar  
16
99280
6520
01:45
or whatever so that they can use their really  their voice their uh ability to speak without  
17
105800
6040
01:51
having to think or hesitate or translate or have  any worries things like that uh so this question  
18
111840
5880
01:57
in particular uh I thought this was was very  interesting and uh like my team were kind of  
19
117720
5920
02:03
thinking about it like how do we actually like  explain this the best way uh and so when we're  
20
123640
6240
02:09
providing answers to people it's important for  us we try to give different perspectives if we  
21
129880
4560
02:14
can uh just to really remind people that obviously  you want to get lots of different examples uh when  
22
134440
7400
02:21
you uh when you hear when you're trying to like  learn grammar I'll talk more about that in this  
23
141840
4920
02:26
video uh but the important thing is that we want  to end the doubt so any doubt you have if we can  
24
146760
5760
02:32
end that I'm going to show you how to do that by  yourself in this video uh but let's get started I  
25
152520
5040
02:37
think someone just said oh Bella said good night  good night is what you say when you're going to  
26
157560
5160
02:42
bed if you're just in the evening you would say  good evening and this is actually an interesting  
27
162720
5280
02:48
point about uh like what we're going to talk  about in this video so I'll mention it very  
28
168000
4800
02:52
briefly so if we say good good evening so I had  not planned to talk about this but why don't we  
29
172800
8480
03:01
get started with this anyway because it's a very  interesting and very simple and also very common
30
181280
5080
03:06
example uh now I don't want to go through like a  long list of steps or anything I've put a a very  
31
186360
10040
03:16
V kind of basic framework of what I do in the  description below this video uh it's basically  
32
196400
6760
03:23
four things uh the first one is we want to get  some kind of example so we have an example right  
33
203160
5360
03:28
here anything where we might know something  or we hear something but we're still not 100%  
34
208520
6840
03:35
confident about that vocabulary whatever that is  so this one like maybe you think you're saying the  
35
215360
5440
03:40
correct thing maybe you're not um but we want to  get something and uh if we're also trying to get  
36
220800
6560
03:47
like let's say we get a longer sentence we want  to simplify that as much as possible and then the  
37
227360
5880
03:53
next step is really to understand when people  do things okay so we really want to connect  
38
233240
5960
03:59
vocab ulary with situations this is what natives  are doing rather than trying to take a rule or a  
39
239200
6160
04:05
definition and then connect that with vocabulary  so as an example we have this perfect one just to  
40
245360
4880
04:10
start the video with uh again I had not planned  on this but here we go so when we hear something  
41
250240
5800
04:16
like this we want to get our example we want to  simplify it as much as possible we can't really  
42
256040
5080
04:21
make this more simple this is as simple as it  could get for our example uh and then we want  
43
261120
5360
04:26
to compare so we're actually able to do that  right here because we have these examples so  
44
266480
5040
04:31
if we're try if we're trying to understand which  is the correct phrase for the situation we have to  
45
271520
5680
04:37
understand when people use them so let's say  I'm out you know in the evening I'm walking  
46
277200
5000
04:42
around it's night time I go and meet my friends  which one of these would I say so a native would  
47
282200
6280
04:48
say which one good evening or good night good  evening or a good night now these are tricky  
48
288480
7560
04:56
for a non-native because it sounds a little bit  obviously they sound very Sim similar it's you  
49
296040
5360
05:01
know why would you pick one versus the other but  if you pay attention to when natives use one or  
50
301400
5600
05:07
the other I'm going to say good evening all  right so at the at night time while I'm going  
51
307000
5560
05:12
out and seeing people I would say good evening so  if if you're meaning uh for this video if you're  
52
312560
5680
05:18
introducing yourself or you're just giving some  kind of greeting and it's night time you would  
53
318240
4120
05:22
say good evening all right but before I go to bed  I'm saying good night all right so at the end uh  
54
322360
8680
05:31
of like uh you know you're meeting even with your  family or your friends and you're going to leave  
55
331040
5200
05:36
and go home or you're going to bed you would say  good night all right so good evening we're still  
56
336240
5520
05:41
in like the evening like kind of before maybe  like around dinner time before going to bed so  
57
341760
6280
05:48
that's good evening and then good night before  he sleep go uh good night good night all right  
58
348040
5080
05:53
so this is a very basic example of what we'll be  talking about in this video let me look at chat  
59
353120
4160
05:57
very quick and then we'll get into that example  uh but I'm glad I saw this because it reminds  
60
357280
6320
06:03
us that even some basic things we need to really  make sure we are certain about them to use them  
61
363600
5600
06:09
confidently and fluently all right let's see  if I missed anybody uh let's see here jacine  
62
369200
9040
06:18
says catch you live for the first time but I was  just taking my puppy out to do this thing going  
63
378240
5200
06:23
back to bed now watching later okay let's see  uh Neil says for what need I the word a't well  
64
383440
12040
06:35
I don't I don't really recommend you use it you  don't have to use it but you will understand uh
65
395480
4520
06:40
a it's just like is not that's basically what  it mean it's isn't this is the correct English  
66
400000
9840
06:49
but you will hear ain't sometime okay but  the correct English is isn't or is not all  
67
409840
6640
06:56
right so it's it's works exactly the same way  it's just incorrect English but you will hear  
68
416480
4800
07:01
it sometimes like I ain't I ain't like I ain't  and the whole sentence will usually be uh like  
69
421280
7080
07:08
shortened so I ain't uh GNA I ain't going to  go I I ain't going to go I ain't going to go  
70
428360
8600
07:16
so it's like I and then I ain't is like I  am not g to go so it functions in the same  
71
436960
7880
07:24
way it could be like like uh again how bad the  like the grammatically incorrect English could  
72
444840
6520
07:31
be it could be isn't uh it could be am not uh  it could be they like they are [Music] not so  
73
451360
10920
07:42
like I ain't G to go or they ain't going to go  or you ain't going to go okay so this is this  
74
462280
7400
07:49
is it's useful to understand this English  but I don't recommend you use it because  
75
469680
5920
07:55
it's again it's incorrect like don't write  a business letter and write ain't in there  
76
475600
5640
08:01
okay so I ain't going to do something uh you  would say isn't or am not or they they are not  
77
481240
5520
08:06
or they aren't all right but yes you will you  will hear that so ain't May mean also hasn't
78
486760
8440
08:15
uh well I suppose like let's say let's say the  example is like he uh hasn't uh he hasn't gone  
79
495200
13640
08:28
so he he ain't he ain't gone either yeah I mean  you could use it that way also yes it's very  
80
508840
5520
08:34
it's actually very useful it's just incorrect all  right so we have specific rules for the language  
81
514360
6840
08:41
and people break the language all the time uh but  I ain't going to do something or he he ain't he  
82
521200
6400
08:47
ain't he ain't gone that's that's like really  a bad usage of ain't even it's even incorrect  
83
527600
5640
08:53
for that but uh it's hard to say when ain't  is correct or not correct because it's it's  
84
533240
5040
08:58
just incorrect General all right so it's useful to  understand but it just means is not it's like the  
85
538280
6440
09:04
what whatever the thing is it's not happening so  like I not going to go okay so I am not going to  
86
544720
8520
09:13
go I I ain't I ain't I ain't G to I ain't GNA go  I ain't G to go all right that's a good question  
87
553240
6280
09:19
though so he hasn't or he ain't or whatever  uh ain't mean may also hasn't yes it could it  
88
559520
7400
09:26
could mean that's right I saw it in a song yeah  I bet all right uh how do you use the word whom  
89
566920
6960
09:33
uh that's a that's a that's another what you can  look this up very easily I'll just answer it very  
90
573880
6160
09:40
quickly because I can uh natives will confuse this  too but it's interesting uh like part of this is  
91
580040
8760
09:48
is is what I'm actually going to talk about this  uh and I'll never use so I I'll talk about this  
92
588800
6400
09:55
later in this video uh but when we're trying to  compare different examp examples if you're trying  
93
595200
5000
10:00
to remember uh like who versus whom so let's  say oh I have so who who did something who did  
94
600200
10880
10:11
it or we say like whom which do we use all right  typically the the way you would use it or the way  
95
611080
7160
10:18
you can remember how to use this is by making a  question out of it so are we are like you could  
96
618240
6720
10:24
say like who are we giving it to so who are we  giving it to who are we giving it to all right as  
97
624960
12920
10:37
an example okay so who are we giving it to this  it's like a weird kind of sentence in English  
98
637880
4720
10:42
you will often hear this uh people will tell you  not to end a sentence in two uh and this sounds a  
99
642600
5240
10:47
bit awkward but the reason it sounds awkward is  because like the correct thing would really be  
100
647840
5440
10:53
like to whom like to whom are we giving it okay so  if we want to like to whom are we giving something  
101
653280
8840
11:02
all right because when we're talking about like  something going to a person if we can answer the  
102
662120
5160
11:07
question with like like him then we would say whom  like him we get whom or her all right but if we're  
103
667280
10560
11:17
talking about like he did it so like who did it he  did but whom is him okay so it's like you're you  
104
677840
9400
11:27
can think about the rule logic but it's better to  just get lots of examples like we'll talk about in  
105
687240
5160
11:32
this video um but in general if you can answer  the question of like who did it he did it so  
106
692400
6920
11:39
what is the question like who did that so who who  did that very quick question Who did that so the  
107
699320
10800
11:50
answer would be maybe he did that or she did that  or I did that uh and so this is correct who did  
108
710120
6680
11:56
it but if our answer is like him or her or them  then we would use whom all right now this is not  
109
716800
9480
12:06
a terribly difficult thing to understand it's just  trying to ask these kinds of questions just to get  
110
726280
6240
12:12
the sense of that the same way a native would but  remember that natives do make this mistake a lot  
111
732520
4680
12:17
especially with this uh this kind of construction  because it's much more natural to ask a question  
112
737200
5560
12:22
this way rather than like to whom which would be  correct but it just sounds a little bit kind of  
113
742760
6520
12:29
like older English that people don't really use  so much so like so where where are you going or  
114
749280
5240
12:34
where are you going to you probably wouldn't  add the the two at the end but you will hear  
115
754520
4280
12:38
that sometimes from natives all right so remember  my job is to help you understand native speech and  
116
758800
5800
12:44
sometimes natives speak incorrectly okay like  ain't all right so I I ain't got time for that  
117
764600
6800
12:51
I ain't got time for that all right let's see  what we got here uh raldo says could you help  
118
771400
4440
12:55
me with share looking for and see seeking how  to use the term I'll come back to that later  
119
775840
5840
13:01
share and see well those are like two different  looking help me with share oh you're asking like  
120
781680
5720
13:07
looking for and seeking yeah those those would  be the same thing but I I'll explain to you in  
121
787400
4240
13:11
this video how you can kind of answer questions  like that for yourself uh jelman says I will be  
122
791640
6240
13:17
using the method you teach to learn Portuguese  it's different from the ways I've learned and  
123
797880
3840
13:21
I haven't figured out totally how I can learn the  language with this approach yeah so I'll show you  
124
801720
5000
13:26
more about that in this video all right uh just  into 19 likes 17 watching let's give a thumbs up  
125
806720
5840
13:32
let's go team thank you very much for example how  to take the time to understand something while I  
126
812560
3960
13:36
avoid using a dictionary of translations yep so we  will talk about that in this video this should be  
127
816520
4720
13:41
an interesting example uh and and these are the  kinds of questions that I think about as someone  
128
821240
6280
13:47
who's helping people learn so I need to think how  can I make this very easy I need to eliminate the  
129
827520
5400
13:52
doubt from Learners so that they feel confident  when they speak but if you don't have a teacher  
130
832920
5720
13:58
like like if you're not a member of fluent for  life or you're just learning by yourself then this  
131
838640
4680
14:03
is something you can do all right so here's the  example we got uh this was the difference between  
132
843320
4840
14:08
let me see if I remember it exactly it was already  very simple so I tell people of course if you get  
133
848160
5000
14:13
a longer sentence we really want to just simplify  or remove um like the the particular thing that  
134
853160
6960
14:20
you're struggling with so if you have a longer  sentence like I went to the store and I did this  
135
860120
5120
14:25
and that but there's only one part of that that  you don't understand you want to focus on that  
136
865240
4920
14:30
thing and then we really want to try to understand  what is the situation and when so when would we  
137
870160
5400
14:35
use something we don't want to think about a  rule or look up a definition or something we  
138
875560
3880
14:39
want to understand so a a situation is happening  uh and that can be like even like this blue marker  
139
879440
6640
14:46
this blue marker is a situation it's just  a particular thing and so we can uh without  
140
886080
5520
14:51
giving a a translation we can just say oh blue  marker and I can compare that with a red marker  
141
891600
5960
14:57
or black marker something so you understand it  well all right so this is an interesting example  
142
897560
6120
15:03
uh of the the car let's just say uh the car let  me use black I think this is not not so clear I  
143
903680
10960
15:14
want to be very precise with this okay the car  oo that's very nice look at that marker wow the  
144
914640
8400
15:23
car didn't start the car didn't start and we also  had the contrasting example so I also recommend  
145
923040
14240
15:37
like trying to understand uh oops got two D's  in there you know I have this problem of trying  
146
937280
7240
15:44
to speak and write at the same time so the car  didn't start uh and then we also have the car
147
944520
7640
15:52
wouldn't start I suppose I could put the car the  car ain't start over there too but let's put that  
148
952160
10240
16:02
up there for an example there you go the car the  car ain't start the car ain't start so yeah yes  
149
962400
7360
16:09
that would be correct for the example even though  it's incorrect but I'm not going to focus on H  
150
969760
4560
16:14
this incorrect English but look how look how  amazing this word is I really should just do  
151
974320
4720
16:19
a whole lesson on ink uh because it's so useful  but anyway we will just focus on these so this is  
152
979040
6040
16:25
an interesting question the car didn't start and  the car wouldn't start pardon this really long  
153
985080
8000
16:33
apostrophe here but notice what I'm doing uh the  the example actually came this way uh so I think  
154
993080
6640
16:39
that was Brett maybe who was asking this uh so the  car didn't start and the car wouldn't start or the  
155
999720
5520
16:45
car ain't start for that matter thought it was  my credit card yeah yes pardon me I always I need  
156
1005240
6520
16:51
to focus I think my problem is uh maybe you maybe  you do this sometimes if you're listening like if  
157
1011760
5880
16:57
I'm listening to a a podcast or something while  I'm walking or doing something and I don't hear  
158
1017640
5360
17:03
any sound for a while I think there's something  wrong so I like to always have some kind of sound  
159
1023000
5240
17:08
or something and that's why when I'm writing I  try to speak at the same time uh but anyway so  
160
1028240
5160
17:13
the car didn't start and the car wouldn't start  uh so this was an example already because the  
161
1033400
4760
17:18
learner was wondering well what's the difference  I wonder if anybody knows the difference in these  
162
1038160
5520
17:23
and without trying to think about examples uh  this is it it is actually quite a tricky example  
163
1043680
6520
17:30
to think about which one we might be using and  so that would be a cause for really a lack of  
164
1050200
6000
17:36
confidence so if you don't feel certain which of  these we could use in this situation then that  
165
1056200
6000
17:42
would be uh a reason for you to be struggling  in the conversation so we want to fix that so  
166
1062200
5800
17:48
we answered a couple of things about this in uh  just in the members area uh but I wanted to talk  
167
1068000
6480
17:54
about this in more detail because it really is  an interesting question so the car didn't start  
168
1074480
6000
18:00
versus the car wouldn't start does anyone have  a reason why we would use one rather than the  
169
1080480
5960
18:06
other all right now I will Begin by saying that we  really don't have much information we really don't  
170
1086440
7600
18:14
have much information so we could assume this is  just like maybe this morning so it just happened  
171
1094040
7320
18:21
one time today so let's give that a little  bit uh extra information here so this morning
172
1101360
6960
18:31
so this morning and then these would be  lowercase T's over here this morning the  
173
1111080
4640
18:35
car didn't start or the car wouldn't start  so how do we know which one is correct or is  
174
1115720
7800
18:43
there a difference in the meaning between  these two things any ideas I'll give you  
175
1123520
4520
18:48
all a moment as I collect a quick sip  of water over here if anybody has any  
176
1128040
4760
18:52
idea uh about which would be uh correct or  why you would use one rather than the other
177
1132800
5520
19:03
or if you just want me to do all the work okay  fine all right so the car didn't start and the  
178
1143480
6240
19:09
car wouldn't start and this is a tricky example  because we have so little information I've just  
179
1149720
7040
19:16
given you some extra information we're talking  about maybe one time so it tries and says the  
180
1156760
5800
19:22
car wouldn't start George says wouldn't start is  broken didn't start do not turn on those are some  
181
1162560
5120
19:27
interesting examples but uh we don't really  know we actually can't guess uh the didn't  
182
1167680
6160
19:33
versus wouldn't in this case if we only know the  car didn't start and I even added this uh extra  
183
1173840
6840
19:40
information here but if we're just looking uh  you could use either and both of them would be  
184
1180680
5160
19:45
correct but what's the difference and so this  is an interesting thing when we're learning  
185
1185840
6080
19:51
languages and we encounter some example like  this so something we don't understand we need  
186
1191920
5160
19:57
to look for more more examples to really help  us understand something or we need to try to  
187
1197080
5040
20:02
get more information from something so we'll  leave this here and I'll come back to it in  
188
1202120
3600
20:05
a moment let's see if somebody else had something  just says the car didn't start this morning am me  
189
1205720
4920
20:10
says maybe the car didn't start is a statement of  fact the car wouldn't start implies resistance or  
190
1210640
5720
20:16
repeated attempts right yes so you've got like  the kind of grammar definition understanding  
191
1216360
4920
20:21
of it Arkham says this morning the card didn't  start uh because there is a certain past timeline  
192
1221280
8400
20:29
uh possibly nil says I think both are correct  the second is perhaps more polite uh it could  
193
1229680
5000
20:34
actually both of them are correct you can use  both of them uh and this is I think I've drawn  
194
1234680
4640
20:39
this before uh this little uh V diagram of when  you're trying to learn for trying to understand  
195
1239320
8000
20:47
the difference between some kind of nuance like  this with English or even if there's no Nuance  
196
1247320
5400
20:52
at all it's just like you're looking at like  the car didn't start versus the the computer  
197
1252720
5080
20:57
didn't start so that's an interesting uh but very  simple thing we can easily tell the difference uh  
198
1257800
5320
21:03
but here we're looking for examples of where  we can only use one uh or we could use both or  
199
1263120
5960
21:09
we could only use another something like that so  the difference is about probability says joelan  
200
1269080
6280
21:15
uh glena says good morning oh it looks like uh I'm  guessing that's Vietnam flag uh the car wouldn't  
201
1275360
5360
21:20
start yesterday night again yesterday night you  would say like last night if you want to say that  
202
1280720
6040
21:26
uh but it's not about politeness uh Kus says at  the beginning of my journey to learn English do  
203
1286760
6320
21:33
you focus on hearing first or all skills what  should I do we'll come back to that later but  
204
1293080
4840
21:37
in general the goal is really just to understand  the language well enough to use it so basically  
205
1297920
5640
21:43
you have a switch inside your brain that if you  are unconfident stop basically stops you from  
206
1303560
6080
21:49
speaking so even if you know some vocabulary  if you still have some kind of doubt about the  
207
1309640
4880
21:54
language like this so this is an example where  you would have a doubt I want to say about I want  
208
1314520
5360
21:59
to talk about this car but I don't know what's  correct do we say the car didn't start or the  
209
1319880
4120
22:04
car wouldn't start which would be correct for  that and so that kind of doubt would stop you  
210
1324000
4480
22:08
from speaking and maybe you would say nothing or  you would try to say maybe something else or you  
211
1328480
5800
22:14
would just pick one and hope it's correct all  right so that happens and again like same thing  
212
1334280
4720
22:19
for me as a learner of Japanese uh like I I know  what this is like so having these kind of things  
213
1339000
5840
22:24
if you have a doubt about something you won't  be able to speak so the question for language  
214
1344840
3880
22:28
learning in general is not really should you  listen or watch or read or whatever the point  
215
1348720
5240
22:33
is how quickly can you understand something well  enough to feel confident about using it all right  
216
1353960
5280
22:39
so more I guess the the fastest way to say this  is how quickly can you eliminate the doubt okay  
217
1359240
6440
22:45
so how quickly can you eliminate the doubt uh and  you can do that in a variety of ways but uh all of  
218
1365680
6520
22:52
them excuse me uh all of them can be helpful it  just depends on what you need for that situation  
219
1372200
5760
22:58
all right uh jman says the difference is about  probability uh no that's not it the car didn't  
220
1378480
4560
23:03
start says Adriano uh with didn't you're sure the  car doesn't work that's not necessarily true and  
221
1383040
6600
23:09
again like these are all good ideas and these are  the the kinds of things you would test so if you  
222
1389640
5520
23:15
think about that like the car didn't start and the  car wouldn't start we don't really know for sure  
223
1395160
6160
23:21
we can't like all of these things we're thinking  about we we honestly can't tell we don't know the  
224
1401320
5240
23:26
difference uh just with this limited information  and I I'll explain why it's a tricky thing in  
225
1406560
5280
23:31
in just a moment all right let's see uh hello  from New Jersey sa Paulo your class has helped  
226
1411840
6640
23:38
me a lot glad to hear it so you would say your  classes have helped me a lot it's my pleasure  
227
1418480
5600
23:44
all right the don't star low from Kuba let's see  bro you changed my life from 0 to 0.00001 awesome  
228
1424080
7840
23:51
or 00 0 I don't even know what fraction that  is uh it sounds like all right well you made  
229
1431920
4720
23:56
some improvement there there you go fantastic all  right let's look at a different example and we'll  
230
1436640
6160
24:02
come back to this in just a moment all right  now slightly different example uh I didn't go
231
1442800
12440
24:15
running and we're going to  contrast that again with I
232
1455240
6760
24:22
wouldn't go right now maybe it becomes a little  bit clearer maybe we'll talk about this uh but I  
233
1462000
13000
24:35
want you to think about these two examples here I  want you to try to think about a native and think  
234
1475000
4760
24:39
about when this is the important thing so I'm  still not giving you much information all right  
235
1479760
6800
24:46
I'm not giving you much information but it's a  little bit different from the above uh even if  
236
1486560
6320
24:52
we like eliminate the this morning or whatever uh  this is a little bit different from this one it's  
237
1492880
5120
24:58
a little bit easier to understand the difference  I'll give you a moment to see if you can think  
238
1498000
4280
25:02
about why why they might be different all right  so what is different between these and these over  
239
1502280
7240
25:09
here all right so if you've heard this again if  you don't have a great sense for this particular  
240
1509520
6440
25:15
grammar distinction it's okay that's the point of  this video to help you understand that uh because  
241
1515960
5000
25:20
it is a very commonly used thing and natives  aren't really thinking about it logically uh  
242
1520960
4840
25:25
we got some grammar examples before about when  you might use things like this but rather than  
243
1525800
5880
25:31
just teach you some rules uh I I want to help you  understand it like a native I want to eliminate  
244
1531680
6080
25:37
the doubt we want to give you a fluency trigger to  really help you understand it feel confident about  
245
1537760
5000
25:42
using it so forget about this morning for now I  just want to compare these two sets of examples  
246
1542760
9160
25:51
over here all right let's see if anybody I'll  try not to get in your way as I look over chat  
247
1551920
6240
25:58
let's see the car didn't start implies a single  instance of failure the car wouldn't start suggest  
248
1558160
5240
26:03
repeated attempts over time is that a good way  to describe it it's possible but not necessarily  
249
1563400
5800
26:09
again I could be describing let's say I I have a  car if we're going to talk about the car example  
250
1569200
5480
26:14
so I put my key in the ignition and I turn it  one time I could say the car didn't start I  
251
1574680
7280
26:21
could also say the car wouldn't start I can use  both of those all right so grammatically there's  
252
1581960
5440
26:27
no difference there all right so you're right  like that that thinking that's you got the right  
253
1587400
5440
26:32
idea about that but a native could still say  the car didn't start or the car wouldn't start  
254
1592840
6560
26:39
all right and that's why we need to get more  examples to really feel more confident about  
255
1599400
5280
26:44
what the difference might be because sometimes  just like I gave this little example before so  
256
1604680
5520
26:50
right here we're in this area in the Middle  where we have didn't over here and wouldn't  
257
1610200
6160
26:56
over here and both of those would be correct they  actually do mean something slightly different but  
258
1616360
6280
27:02
we don't really have much information for this  example so we can't know for sure okay so that's  
259
1622640
6360
27:09
the kind of trickier thing about this example  over here all right but but good uh good I mean  
260
1629000
5440
27:14
it keep thinking over there so Simo says hello  how to get from intermediate level to advaned  
261
1634440
4280
27:18
kind of stuck uh thank you yeah you're you're  what's in uh what I call the fluency Gap uh  
262
1638720
5920
27:24
and this just means where you know English but  you have trouble speaking and the way to cross  
263
1644640
4760
27:29
that is by eliminating any doubts you have about  vocabulary grammar whatever so that's what we're  
264
1649400
5160
27:34
doing in this video Ernest says uh B night a  good night all right I'm more than lost son of  
265
1654560
10680
27:45
bit you'd say son of a [ __ ] son of a [ __ ]  all right in on Father's Day all right son of  
266
1665240
5600
27:50
a [ __ ] now son of a [ __ ] Daniel says is it  bad to repeat yourself when you're talking to a  
267
1670840
4400
27:55
native uh not necessarily does it have to do with  conditionals not necessarily uh JC says I wouldn't  
268
1675240
8360
28:03
go running without a pair of shoes yes so that's  a conditional statement right there so there's a  
269
1683600
5880
28:09
there's some reason why we would do it jelman  says wouldn't in the second pair of sentences  
270
1689480
5120
28:14
refers to hypothetical situations not necessarily  I didn't go running this morning all right let me  
271
1694600
5360
28:19
just tell you uh how I'm thinking about this as  a native because everyone's giving lots of good  
272
1699960
5320
28:25
ideas uh but I want to make it clear clear how  a native would be thinking about this and we're  
273
1705280
5040
28:30
we're trying to do that with just some uh some  very simple examples here so if a friend of mine  
274
1710320
5120
28:35
tells me and they only tell me this I didn't  go running I will assume as a listener uh oh  
275
1715440
7920
28:43
I didn't go running it means they're really  talking about one time so first of all so I  
276
1723360
7320
28:50
I don't know any other information all they're  doing is they're choosing between this word or  
277
1730680
4520
28:55
this word if they say I didn't go running I will  I will assume I might not be correct but I will  
278
1735200
6080
29:01
assume they mean oh like they're talking about  one time like I didn't go running this morning  
279
1741280
6720
29:08
okay so they didn't say that but if this is the  only thing they tell me I didn't go running all  
280
1748000
6320
29:14
right but if they're talking about and both of  these I will assume it's in the past somehow so  
281
1754320
5440
29:19
we're talking about maybe something that happened  in the past so I didn't go running I will assume  
282
1759760
6000
29:25
they mean one time so they're talking about a  particular instance of something I didn't go  
283
1765760
5440
29:31
running all right so part of this uh we'll explain  a little bit in more detail but if I if I hear I  
284
1771200
6360
29:37
wouldn't go running then I would assume this is  like multiple multiple again let me write this
285
1777560
7440
29:45
multi multiple times okay so if I hear a friend  say oh I didn't go running this morning I didn't  
286
1785000
11160
29:56
go running this morning they're telling me so  they're talking about one specific instance  
287
1796160
5720
30:01
and an additional bit of information by using did  they're just telling me a fact they're just giving  
288
1801880
5640
30:07
me some information there's no reason behind  it uh and I'm not they're not encouraging me  
289
1807520
5520
30:13
to ask them why okay I could ask why but they're  not really asking me uh or encouraging me to ask  
290
1813040
7400
30:20
that but if they say I wouldn't go running  then I will assume they mean like you know  
291
1820440
7080
30:27
at like times in the past when something happened  so this will be a bit more clear as I expand this  
292
1827520
6840
30:34
now uh I also I want to say sometimes you'll  hear me say more clear and clearer and again  
293
1834360
4840
30:39
this is one of those situations you can use both  uh you will hear people using both of those here  
294
1839200
5680
30:44
uh so I didn't go for a run this morning yeah so  if you're talking about like a specific instance  
295
1844880
5240
30:50
typically we would use did we're just stating  a fact something happened one time I didn't go  
296
1850120
5800
30:55
running and so if I hear wouldn't I will assume I  will think they're talking about multiple things  
297
1855920
7120
31:03
okay so let's update the example a little bit so  I didn't go running uh let's say uh when I was  
298
1863040
9520
31:12
young if we make the example a little bit longer  I'm trying to fit this in here so for both of  
299
1872560
7200
31:19
these so I didn't go running when I was young all  right in this case I didn't go running when I was  
300
1879760
7520
31:27
young so we have a like a longer period of time  in the past I didn't go running when I was young  
301
1887280
6640
31:33
they're just telling me about like during that  time I didn't do something it's just a statement  
302
1893920
5920
31:39
of fact they don't really care I'm not curious  It's just like like did you did you ride horses  
303
1899840
6160
31:46
when you were young no I I didn't ride horses so  I'm not going to ask them why because it doesn't  
304
1906000
5320
31:51
really matter like I don't I don't it doesn't  you know when we talk about didn't there's no  
305
1911320
5040
31:56
there's no real feel like caring here it's just a  statement of fact all right generally speaking so  
306
1916360
6080
32:02
possibly uh they they could have a reason for this  but if they say I wouldn't go running when I was  
307
1922440
7200
32:09
young now that becomes much more interesting  just by changing this one word over here oh  
308
1929640
6080
32:15
I wouldn't go running when I was young now I'm  going to wonder o why not all right because I'm  
309
1935720
7160
32:22
assuming there is some kind of Reason in their  their their employ lying that there's a reason  
310
1942880
5600
32:28
because they because they said would all right  so again even just this slight difference if  
311
1948480
6120
32:34
they say did it probably means there's a reason  but maybe it's not important or they don't care  
312
1954600
6000
32:40
I'm not going to ask them why or be curious  about that but if they say yeah I wouldn't  
313
1960600
4600
32:45
go running it means there's probably some reason  why they didn't do that okay so this is why this  
314
1965200
8440
32:53
sentence up here these two examples it becomes  more difficult to understand because we don't  
315
1973640
4640
32:58
have a lot of information so let's say uh the car  didn't start would imply probably like we put the  
316
1978280
8960
33:07
key in the ignition we turn it one time oh the  car didn't start okay but maybe I take like five
317
1987240
9560
33:16
minutes the car wouldn't start okay so in that  case we know a little bit more now we're talking  
318
1996800
9320
33:26
about multiple times of trying to do something  there's a long like a little bit more information  
319
2006120
5200
33:31
we have uh if we know that information but this  is why you have to pay attention uh it's it's  
320
2011320
7720
33:39
It's Tricky for people when they just kind of  start like like I will get questions from people  
321
2019040
5160
33:44
sometimes about some random vocabulary and I say  well the meaning depends on the situation because  
322
2024200
6560
33:50
that the the vocabulary is always connected to  some kind of situation okay so it's more difficult  
323
2030760
6720
33:57
if you just say like here are two words what does  that mean or what's the difference I will usually  
324
2037480
5520
34:03
ask the the person asking me I will say well what  exactly is the situation can you describe what's  
325
2043000
5560
34:08
happening okay so we we want to understand the  whole situation to get as much information as  
326
2048560
5080
34:13
possible uh and that will help us to understand  like the difference between these things so this  
327
2053640
6080
34:19
is much easier than trying to get a like a rule  book or something I want to look through a grammar  
328
2059720
5360
34:25
book about okay like the difference so wood is  like usually it's multiple times it's habitual or  
329
2065080
6240
34:31
it's repeated something like that so I can look  in a book and get that but really I want to pay  
330
2071320
5240
34:36
attention to what natives are saying when they do  these when they say these different things and I  
331
2076560
5760
34:42
might even ask a person like some some people if  you have a friend obviously if you have a teacher  
332
2082320
4800
34:47
you can ask them but if you have a friend uh you  can say oh that's interesting you said I didn't go  
333
2087120
5120
34:52
running why did you why did you not say I wouldn't  go running and they might you know if they're kind  
334
2092240
5040
34:57
of thoughtful about it they might give you an  answer like that so that's that's my job but  
335
2097280
5720
35:03
if you don't have me or you're not influent  for life or one of my programs or whatever  
336
2103000
4200
35:07
uh this is the kind of thing you should be doing  so you should be looking for more examples until  
337
2107200
5200
35:12
you can really understand like okay what's the  difference here why would why would one uh use  
338
2112400
5760
35:18
one thing rather than the other all right so up  here uh grammatically there's no difference and  
339
2118160
7200
35:25
there's no real difference in Nuance because we  actually could be talking like you put the key  
340
2125360
5520
35:30
in the ignition you turn it one time and you  still could say both of these H oh no the car  
341
2130880
5120
35:36
didn't start so I put the key in the ignition the  car didn't start or I put the key in the ignition  
342
2136000
7680
35:43
the car wouldn't start I can use both of those  all right now the slight difference in Nuance  
343
2143680
5600
35:49
could be that maybe there's like a reason why it  didn't start but we don't know from just this 1  
344
2149280
7080
35:56
2 3 four so one these these few words up here we  don't really know okay so it's important if you  
345
2156360
6680
36:03
get something like this uh rather than trying  to like force yourself to understand this you  
346
2163040
5120
36:08
want to get more examples try to compare it with  more things okay so I didn't go running when I  
347
2168160
8200
36:16
was young so when I was young implies like it's  you know maybe a couple of years or something so  
348
2176360
5880
36:22
that's a long period of time so there's probably  like if you did go running there would be a  
349
2182240
4920
36:27
repeated action so I wouldn't go running was oh  maybe there was an actual problem and it becomes  
350
2187160
5880
36:33
much more interesting you want to find out you  ask why so typically when natives use did you  
351
2193040
7280
36:40
don't usually get a question back from them like  oh why like why not now maybe you might you can  
352
2200320
6120
36:46
ask that but more people would ask why when they  hear W because oh there's some kind of reason so  
353
2206440
7080
36:53
if I heard that you I I didn't go running when I  was young people would just think oh okay you know  
354
2213520
6480
37:00
maybe you just didn't you didn't go running cuz  it's not uh it's like you just didn't do it maybe  
355
2220000
5480
37:05
some people you know I didn't I didn't swim when  I was young okay there's not like oh I I could  
356
2225480
7280
37:12
ask oh why not but they would probably just reply  oh like I didn't have a pool or we didn't go by  
357
2232760
5560
37:18
the ocean or whatever it's just not important  but if like I wouldn't go swimming it's like o  
358
2238320
6440
37:24
wow maybe there's a real difference here there's  like U like a reason uh like we have maybe they  
359
2244760
7120
37:31
were scared of running or scared of swimming  or whatever okay so as we get more information  
360
2251880
7800
37:39
and we can compare something rather than looking  just one example the reason this becomes tricky  
361
2259680
5160
37:44
is because it we really could use either it's one  of those situations where we could use either so  
362
2264840
5960
37:50
we're looking for something when could we only use  one or the other Okay so so your job to eliminate  
363
2270800
7720
37:58
the doubt the fluency trigger comes when you  find like some example so for this example  
364
2278520
5720
38:04
here it's it's basically impossible to know the  difference because you could say either one and  
365
2284240
7080
38:11
actually mean the same situation but for these  you could say the same thing but they really do  
366
2291320
6400
38:17
mean something different okay especially if we  get more information all right is that a little  
367
2297720
7920
38:25
bit more clear hopefully that's a little bit more  clear uh I can give you some more examples if you  
368
2305640
5240
38:30
need them but this is the basic idea so when we  find something we don't know we really want to  
369
2310880
5680
38:36
understand the situation we really want to make  sure okay I want to I want to make a sentence or  
370
2316560
5280
38:41
have another example sentence but I only want to  change one thing about it so I want to focus on  
371
2321840
6080
38:47
like the car didn't start versus the car wouldn't  start all right and and this works with vocabulary  
372
2327920
5920
38:53
again the car didn't start or the computer didn't  start so I'm only changing one example and that  
373
2333840
5960
38:59
really helps your brain understand the difference  so the car didn't start or the computer didn't  
374
2339800
4480
39:04
start we know the change is in the the vow or  the uh uh the noun over here and we're just  
375
2344280
5160
39:09
talking about two different things but here we're  talking about oh there's a grammar question here  
376
2349440
4640
39:14
do I understand the Nuance of that all right  so there are other things we can we can learn  
377
2354080
6160
39:20
from this so again we've got the difference like  typically something that you did is you're just  
378
2360240
4800
39:25
talking about like one time that you did something  or if you did not again even when you were young  
379
2365040
6240
39:31
it's like basically no times uh but wouldn't  implies some kind of like habitual thing like  
380
2371280
6280
39:37
you did it often or regularly or you're repeating  some kind of thing so it doesn't necessarily do  
381
2377560
6920
39:44
that but this is the slight difference in Nuance  when you're especially talking about something  
382
2384480
5000
39:49
like this this is a reason why a native would  say would rather than did okay so when you're  
383
2389480
7840
39:57
asking someone like and and I also want to make  it clear we don't want to like take a take a look  
384
2397320
6080
40:03
at a a word like would and and try to look at  every definition of what it means and all the  
385
2403400
5440
40:08
different uses of it this is why it's so important  to focus on this situation so we're talking about  
386
2408840
5880
40:14
something in the past that didn't happen and  we're talking about why did versus would for  
387
2414720
6840
40:21
this situation it's really important for this dis  for this situation I don't want to teach you the  
388
2421560
5040
40:26
word would and then try to give you like every  definition of it we want to be uh focused on that  
389
2426600
5440
40:32
all right so especially for a lesson like this  a specific question about the difference between  
390
2432040
4760
40:36
these you don't want to add more information and  confuse yourself more all right but hopefully this  
391
2436800
5280
40:42
makes sense uh let me check comments and see if  anybody has any questions about that uh let's
392
2442080
10000
40:52
see uh gentleman says wouldn't the second  pair of sentences refer to uh a pair of a  
393
2452080
13600
41:05
hypothetical situations no not not necessarily  I mean you're just talking about what you didn't  
394
2465680
4400
41:10
do uh or again like where we're not like and  and that's another tricky thing about this  
395
2470080
5600
41:15
where we're we're not looking at like I would do  something if it if if this condition like that's  
396
2475680
5920
41:21
a hypothetical but here we're not talking about  that we're actually talking this is a different  
397
2481600
5000
41:26
situation than than a hypothetical we just  saying oh I didn't do something and there's  
398
2486600
4720
41:31
probably a reason for it that's the like extra bit  of information there so it's really important like  
399
2491320
6080
41:37
as a learner you will probably know oh wood  that that means like that's for conditional  
400
2497400
5000
41:42
statements right or when we want to give like  more information and did is for one time and  
401
2502400
5520
41:47
expressing facts or something so you can think  about it that way but I'm trying to get you to  
402
2507920
5120
41:53
think about it more like a native because if you  change the way you think then it will make more  
403
2513040
4440
41:57
sense ah okay like for this particular situation  you need to understand the grammar as a as like  
404
2517480
8160
42:05
a tool in that specific situation so it's not  about taking the word would and learning all  
405
2525640
6200
42:11
the different uses of it we just want to learn it  like this this is how natives learn vocabulary so  
406
2531840
5760
42:17
they have a situation so someone's like oh like  I put the key in the ignition no the car didn't  
407
2537600
5880
42:23
start or I put the key in the ignition oh the car  wouldn't start so like a native English-speaking  
408
2543480
6320
42:29
child would see that a parent is a parent is  trying to do something and they they learn oh  
409
2549800
5560
42:35
you could say both the car didn't start or the  car wouldn't start but here we have a slightly  
410
2555360
5080
42:40
different example all right up here we don't  know like like let's say let's say we change the  
411
2560440
7800
42:48
example slightly all right now I'm going to change  the example and you should feel kind of like a a  
412
2568240
5440
42:53
fluency trigger in your mind about like ah it  makes more sense now so let's say if we add for
413
2573680
7520
43:01
years for years the car didn't start and for  for years the car wouldn't start now now we  
414
2581200
9320
43:10
have wow that's that's actually quite a bit more  information so we had up here before this morning  
415
2590520
5360
43:15
but if we're talking about for years the car  didn't start that would sound a little bit odd  
416
2595880
5600
43:21
all right it could be grammatically correct yes it  didn't start but it would sound more natur natural  
417
2601480
5000
43:26
because we're talking about something happening  multiple times it's happening again and again all  
418
2606480
6400
43:32
right so for years the car didn't start yeah  you could say that but it sounds a little bit  
419
2612880
5560
43:38
more interesting and natural the car would not  start because we're talking about something that  
420
2618440
4960
43:43
happened again and again sometimes you know  over over some period of time four years has  
421
2623400
6440
43:49
happened okay so whenever you're talking about  something happening over a long period of time  
422
2629840
5240
43:55
typically it's it's like something happening  again and again and that's when we would use  
423
2635080
5040
44:00
wood but I don't want you to think about it like  like a grammar rule okay this word means this it's  
424
2640120
5680
44:05
not like that it's like the word comes from the  situation the situation is more important now the  
425
2645800
5600
44:11
situation is changed because we're not talking  about one time today where you could use both  
426
2651400
6160
44:17
of these we're talking about really something  happening again and again and in that case wood  
427
2657560
5200
44:22
sounds more natural okay so we're not trying to  teach like would and then a whole bunch of uses  
428
2662760
9080
44:31
of it we just really want to help you understand  this usage in this situation okay so you feel  
429
2671840
6720
44:38
confident one thing at a time this is why we  say you get fluent in something one step at a  
430
2678560
4680
44:43
time one thing at a time rather than in like the  whole the whole thing let's see does it called  
431
2683240
6560
44:49
second conditional or third conditional sentences  don't worry about that if you want to know like  
432
2689800
4800
44:54
the definitions I the reason I don't talk about  that stuff is because it's not helpful to know  
433
2694600
4680
44:59
that a native speaker will not know if something  is a first conditional or second conditional or  
434
2699280
4360
45:03
whatever because who cares it doesn't matter the  interesting thing is natives are just thinking  
435
2703640
4760
45:08
about the situation and then what words so when  do we use something what words do we typically  
436
2708400
6080
45:14
use in this situation so here if we just say  the car didn't start or the car wouldn't start  
437
2714480
6160
45:20
we could use either both of those are fine but  if we now have more information for years the  
438
2720640
6520
45:27
car didn't start or the car wouldn't start and we  add maybe a reason in there too typically would  
439
2727160
6560
45:33
goes with some kind of reason so we would get  for years the car didn't start uh because there  
440
2733720
6440
45:40
was a squirrel in inside the car like living in  the engine or something all right so for years  
441
2740160
6560
45:46
the car didn't start because of something that  would sound a little bit odd it's correct you  
442
2746720
5560
45:52
could say that but it would sound a little bit odd  typically we're talking about oh there's a reason  
443
2752280
4840
45:57
for something uh the car wouldn't start because  of something that's a condition the reason the  
444
2757120
5200
46:02
squirrel uh the squirrel is the reason for the car  not starting so that's the condition in that case  
445
2762320
5920
46:08
so we we as we get more information it becomes  more clear which one of these would be kind of  
446
2768240
6360
46:14
sounding natural but I'm trying to help you build  this one step at a time okay I don't want to just  
447
2774600
4920
46:19
give you like a really long sentence I want to  explain why even with something short the car  
448
2779520
4960
46:24
didn't start or the car would start it actually is  a little bit more difficult to understand because  
449
2784480
5760
46:30
we don't have much information so we could use  either one of these so again we have our little  
450
2790240
5920
46:36
Vin diagram for did or didn't for this specific  example it's really in here it could be either a  
451
2796160
7240
46:43
native actually could say the car didn't start  or the car wouldn't start I bet if you went to  
452
2803400
4880
46:48
a uh like a like a auto mechanic shop and you and  you just listen to people there you would probably  
453
2808280
6720
46:55
get maybe a few few more people saying wouldn't  but they would mean like maybe they tried it or  
454
2815000
5440
47:00
something like that okay but the card didn't  start you will hear both of those in the same  
455
2820440
5800
47:06
situation but if we start adding more information  now we get like two separate ideas this is where  
456
2826240
7120
47:13
the Nuance becomes more accessible where we can  actually understand more and we would see why  
457
2833360
5600
47:18
a native would pick one word rather than another  so if we say for years the card didn't start that  
458
2838960
6400
47:25
would sound weird you would hear fewer natives  using that you could say that but you would hear  
459
2845360
5080
47:30
fewer people saying that you would hear many  more people saying the car wouldn't start all  
460
2850440
6120
47:36
right and so the same thing down here I didn't go  running I will assume okay if I don't know what  
461
2856560
6320
47:42
you're talking about but maybe if I understand  the context if I ask you oh like what did you  
462
2862880
5680
47:48
do this morning and my friend says oh I didn't go  running then that is really the only correct thing  
463
2868560
6520
47:55
to say my friend would not say oh I wouldn't go  running that would sound weird because he's it's  
464
2875080
5160
48:00
talking about a specific time what did you do this  morning so oh I wouldn't go running well well why  
465
2880240
6320
48:06
are you talking about that you mean you didn't  go running that's what you mean okay so this  
466
2886560
5000
48:11
is again we want to start with something small  look at examples and things like this if they  
467
2891560
4640
48:16
are tricky get more examples and try to look at  like the difference between like oh like I didn't  
468
2896200
6160
48:22
do something versus I wouldn't do something so  when would it be important important that we  
469
2902360
4400
48:26
would have uh one word rather than another okay  so if we know for sure something is one time and  
470
2906760
7320
48:34
we don't really care about the reason we're just  stating a fact oh I didn't I didn't do it okay  
471
2914080
6400
48:40
so very simple like 10 years ago I didn't uh go I  didn't go to Korea okay I I just didn't go but if  
472
2920480
8760
48:49
I say 10 years ago I wouldn't go to Korea people  were like o wow like why not you know what's the  
473
2929240
6840
48:56
what's the reason for that like oh I wouldn't I  wouldn't do that you know like I like I wouldn't  
474
2936080
3960
49:00
do that it means there's some reason uh and maybe  that's important maybe I don't want to talk about  
475
2940040
5320
49:05
it but it you can see in that case it becomes  a much a much more important thing okay does  
476
2945360
6800
49:12
this make sense so this is why like you see I I  don't I don't draw like a grammar table up here  
477
2952160
5880
49:18
and and try to say like well this is this and  this is the rule and we're going to go through  
478
2958040
4840
49:22
10 grammar points in one hour or whatever that  stuff is mostly a waste of time uh if you don't  
479
2962880
6720
49:29
really understand it all right so you have to  feel confident like raise your hand let me know  
480
2969600
4760
49:34
if this if this video made you feel more confident  about this all right or or like do something all  
481
2974360
8240
49:42
right let me let me know if this makes sense  if you still have questions let me know I will  
482
2982600
3720
49:46
go back and check uh the chat though and see if  I've missed anybody all right uh let's see hello  
483
2986320
11560
49:57
from Syria where did I get back to so I didn't  go for a run this morning Wellington why did you  
484
2997880
7560
50:05
put running in jiren same in the past well you for  this you you could do you could do either one I'm
485
3005440
6080
50:11
just so that's another interesting example like  uh natives will often talk about like the activity  
486
3011520
9160
50:20
like to do something or to to go running as  like you can use either of those in this case  
487
3020680
5680
50:26
like you can use both so I didn't go running uh  or I didn't run you could use either of those go  
488
3026360
7280
50:33
running is is is kind of like an idea or like  the name of an activity so I didn't go running  
489
3033640
6320
50:39
I didn't go fishing I didn't go what's another  thing go skating there other things like like  
490
3039960
5680
50:45
activities where we just talk about them in that  way so I could say I didn't fish when I was young  
491
3045640
7160
50:52
all right but it sounds more natural to say go  fishing in because that's like we're talking about  
492
3052800
4200
50:57
the activity there all right but you could say  that I didn't fish when I was young both of those  
493
3057000
4560
51:01
are fine but good question good question that's  another example of like oh like why did we use  
494
3061560
4960
51:06
this rather than that interesting all right uh did  I skip anybody okay looks like some good questions  
495
3066520
10520
51:17
up here all right um all right Dena says hi there  sorry for delay came to class here I like class I  
496
3077040
9080
51:26
always use it to practice my skill of listening  so skill of listening and I'm uh increasing this  
497
3086120
6800
51:32
ability thankful to you hello from Syria did you  know the important English grammar for spe oh did  
498
3092920
7120
51:40
you know well there there's no real difference  like writing versus speaking it's you should  
499
3100040
5800
51:45
be correct in both of these things new natural  says both phrases describe the same outcome but  
500
3105840
4640
51:50
the second one adds a layer of resistance on the  car's part yes it's that's again like you can you  
501
3110480
7840
51:58
can put you can put that in there but it might  not necessarily be true all right so I can I can  
502
3118320
5960
52:04
and this is what we're looking for we want to we  want to use our discernment our logic and think  
503
3124280
5640
52:09
like could we say both in this situation the car  didn't start or the car wouldn't start uh would  
504
3129920
7040
52:16
both of those be correct even if there's some kind  of nuance in there and this is the important thing  
505
3136960
4920
52:21
for learning because really you want to know  is there a difference is it important at all  
506
3141880
4520
52:26
because if there's no difference then we don't  need a lesson I just say use both it doesn't  
507
3146400
4440
52:30
matter all right but there is a difference uh  and and if we want to communicate that then  
508
3150840
5600
52:36
we we want to usually give more information but  sometimes like this up here this example like we  
509
3156440
6200
52:42
could use didn't or we could use wouldn't or we  could use both it just depends on the situation  
510
3162640
5680
52:48
but we have to be careful uh about why we like  add something or change something or if we are  
511
3168320
5960
52:54
we are putting in our own thinking into the  situation when it's not there so we do want  
512
3174280
4720
52:59
to get more examples and this is why I often ask  people uh when they say drew what does this word  
513
3179000
5920
53:04
mean I will say Well when did you hear that all  right what was the situation explain more about  
514
3184920
5280
53:10
that because we could hear a word and it could  mean something completely different depending  
515
3190200
4000
53:14
on the situation all right Academy Book Club says  why do natives use wood for conditional sentences  
516
3194200
5680
53:19
and would for talking about habitual things why  uh well again we that typically a different word  
517
3199880
7200
53:27
would be used because we want to communicate like  a different meaning all right and it sounds like  
518
3207080
5360
53:32
a simple like a straightforward response but let's  say we only had didn't like I didn't go for a run  
519
3212440
5960
53:38
it's just we don't really know if you're talking  about just stating a fact or if you're talking  
520
3218400
4680
53:43
about doing something repeatedly or habitually or  whatever and this is how the language evolves over  
521
3223080
5360
53:48
time I can't speak about like when these words  were created but typically new words are created  
522
3228440
5680
53:54
when we need a new way to describe something all  right so that's why we would have something like  
523
3234120
4680
53:58
that uh mean it says if I were you I wouldn't go  running uh what about the feeling you get about  
524
3238800
7320
54:06
this phrase yes so this is a different situation  this is we're here we're talking about something  
525
3246120
5000
54:11
in the past uh I mean as example we're talking  about something like in general like general  
526
3251120
4760
54:15
advice or talking about for the future like if I  were you I would not walk down that way so I'm I'm  
527
3255880
5640
54:21
giving a conditional statement uh saying there's  probably a reason I have not said the reason but  
528
3261520
5520
54:27
you should probably not do that thing all right so  that's different again it's important when we just  
529
3267040
5000
54:32
hear a word like would there are different uses  of it here we're talking specifically about the  
530
3272040
6360
54:38
past like didn't versus wouldn't okay so we want  to be clear about that make sure you understand  
531
3278400
5840
54:44
one thing at a time if you do then you can talk  about something else all right just like for  
532
3284240
5200
54:49
keeping that so I would remember that if I were  you okay keep this in mind I would remember this  
533
3289440
5440
54:54
idea idea Neil says I wouldn't go running because  I hurt my leg Yeah so in that in that case like uh  
534
3294880
9040
55:03
like if you're talking about the past I wouldn't  go running because I hurt my leg you're giving a  
535
3303920
4400
55:08
reason that's the important thing the information  people need to know and often when people use wood  
536
3308320
6120
55:14
in the past they give a reason all right but if  I just say like oh I wouldn't uh I wouldn't go  
537
3314440
5840
55:20
to the park when I was young people will think oh  wow like what happened what's the reason for that  
538
3320280
5000
55:25
you know but if I did say I wouldn't go to the  park because something then you're just telling  
539
3325280
5120
55:30
the reason again you could say I didn't go to  the park when I was young because something but  
540
3330400
6000
55:36
uh would like it it the the the the Nuance here  is just slightly different for that okay so am I  
541
3336400
6760
55:43
stating a fact it's not very interesting I don't  care I'm just saying something happened uh and now  
542
3343160
5520
55:48
I want to give more information or explain maybe  there's a cause and that's important and that's  
543
3348680
5280
55:53
why we use wood in this situation okay I want to  be very very clear I'm not trying to teach you  
544
3353960
5520
55:59
every use of the word wood I want I don't want to  focus on that the point is helping you understand  
545
3359480
5440
56:04
this like a native so if you understand this usage  of wood then other uses of wood become more clear  
546
3364920
6880
56:11
okay all right uh well says thanks I understood  jman says that's what I like about these videos  
547
3371800
5960
56:17
you really get a deeper understanding of the words  compared to other methods yeah so again if you if  
548
3377760
5800
56:23
you have doubt about something you won't use it so  I need to keep digging until the doubt is gone all  
549
3383560
5960
56:29
right like that's what we're going for here so  even me like I spent I don't know like an hour  
550
3389520
5200
56:34
thinking about this yesterday it's like all right  how can I explain this uh so that people really  
551
3394720
5560
56:40
get the idea and they're they're very clear about  it let's see Suman says hi Drew my first time  
552
3400280
4520
56:44
ever joining this live though I've been watching  and following your channel for months now hoping  
553
3404800
4040
56:48
I'll get to the level of ownership soon haha well  don't laugh about that you got the idea remember  
554
3408840
6040
56:54
remember that you get to the ownership level in  individual words and phrases as you understand  
555
3414880
4600
56:59
them so you can do it hopefully you got to the  ownership level about this that's the point and  
556
3419480
5520
57:05
uh for people who don't know what I'm talking  about when you when you learn something you get  
557
3425000
4400
57:09
exposed to it first then you understand it you've  got an awareness level and the ownership is when  
558
3429400
5360
57:14
you really removed all the doubt that's when  you feel uh finally confident to use something  
559
3434760
5200
57:19
really appreciate uh all your hard work uh and  the perspective glad to hear it let's see here h
560

4560
57:58
cam nice to see you again Academy Book Club thanks  a lot teacher Drew I have been following you for  
565
3478960
4400
58:03
years on YouTube glad to hear it all right our  ex uh interesting class make sure you like the  
566

567
3489200
4880
58:14
want to remove some of that doubt we going  to clear out the confusion then tell people  
568
3494080
5600
58:19
to join us over here uh let's see Anar Kumar good  morning love you Z glader and GL says does it call  
569
3499680
9040
58:28
okay I answer that question so if you if you care  about like what is the third conditional or the  
570
3508720
6800
58:35
second conditional you might need to know that  for a test like if the teacher is asking you I  
571
3515520
5320
58:40
feel bad if that if that's true but uh it's not  important that you know that information for uh  
572
3520840
6920
58:47
and you can just think about it like conditionals  like there's a reason or a cause in general all  
573
3527760
4880
58:52
right so I don't Focus focus on that uh because  it's not necessary to speak and if natives don't  
574
3532640
6000
58:58
know that information you don't need to know  that information either you probably don't  
575
3538640
3640
59:02
know it even in your native language you might uh  if you're learning through translations but it's  
576
3542280
4480
59:06
not necessary to do that like if if I'm learning  something in uh in Japanese I'm doing the same  
577
3546760
6800
59:13
thing so I don't think like is this like the first  conditional or the second conditional it's like  
578
3553560
4520
59:18
like in Japanese we've got like like uh like Tada  and uh and nada in like the same the same kind of  
579
3558080
8160
59:26
thing like or like the first conditional or the  second conditional it's like which of these do  
580
3566240
4400
59:30
we use I don't try to just look at the grammar  definition I want to get lots of examples and  
581
3570640
6040
59:36
hear ah okay so natives are using it like this  like if I hear like which of these things like  
582
3576680
5680
59:42
like typically in a like in an advertisement  it's like if you're doing this you should do  
583
3582360
4560
59:46
this other thing over here so like oh I learn  it that way I'm not trying to study a bunch of  
584
3586920
4360
59:51
rules uh it's helpful I guess to know the names  of things if you want to look them up but other  
585
3591280
4720
59:56
than that uh it's not really going to improve  your ability to speak uh and hopefully that's  
586
3596000
5000
60:01
why you're here all right I've got it says raldo  Nails says love the way you teach with heart and  
587
3601000
5120
60:06
soul glad to hear Adriano it does make sense glad  to hear all right ven says you're an astonishing  
588
3606120
4840
60:10
teacher really easy to understand the core idea  yes that's what we're going for Monica hello this  
589
3610960
4600
60:15
is my first time joining here I'm from Japan well  that's interesting are you in Japan right now I'm  
590
3615560
5600
60:21
in Nagasaki Lewis uh yoshioka says I wouldn't  use a gun if I do resolve something oh if I  
591
3621160
7760
60:28
could resolve yes in that in that case you're  talking about in general and remember that's a  
592
3628920
4480
60:33
different use of wood it's a different use of  wood that's why the name of this video is not  
593
3633400
5280
60:38
how to use every use of wood this is just like I  I want I didn't even put that in the title because  
594
3638680
6960
60:45
I don't want you know like some people might look  for that but uh maybe we'll make like a uh like a  
595
3645640
5720
60:51
short video or something with this um speaketh  Old English look at that uh gun says W is more  
596
3651360
8360
60:59
repeated yes in general if we're talking about  the past so this is like a specific thing for  
597
3659720
6360
61:06
this situation so I wouldn't do something like  in the past like my mother did something or my  
598
3666080
6680
61:12
mother wouldn't cook with uh with rice okay so my  mother wouldn't do something we're talking about  
599
3672760
7600
61:20
like there was an opportunity and she didn't do it  there was another opportunity and she didn't do it  
600
3680360
5000
61:25
there was another opportunity and she didn't do  it this is the the basic idea of like a repeated  
601
3685360
5200
61:30
thing even if you didn't do something all right  so listen carefully to this uh I've got a lot of  
602
3690560
6240
61:36
stuff let me clear this clear the board over  here just to make it clear because it sounds  
603
3696800
6680
61:43
a little bit weird when we talk about repeating  something but you're not doing it but it's more  
604
3703480
5040
61:48
about the opportunity or the chance and then  you don't do that thing so if I didn't I didn't  
605
3708520
7880
61:56
do something and I wouldn't wouldn't so it's same  act uh same vocabulary here I'm not changing this  
606
3716400
7840
62:04
but hopefully this makes it a little bit easier  typically when I say I didn't do something there  
607
3724240
5320
62:09
was an opportunity and I did not do that thing  okay so I'm stating a fact but really the more  
608
3729560
6600
62:16
important thing is it's really just one thing so  if I'm talking about like this morning for example  
609
3736160
5600
62:21
so this morning I didn't run so this morning I had  an opportunity I could have run I don't even want  
610
3741760
6440
62:28
to say that I mean it's it's correct but I don't  want to explain like more and and go into would  
611
3748200
4560
62:32
and could and should and all of that uh but I just  want to focus on this so wouldn't implies there  
612
3752760
6160
62:38
typically multiple opportunities over some period  of time and you did not do those things okay so I  
613
3758920
10160
62:49
didn't go running this morning it's pretty clear  we have an opportunity one opportunity and we did  
614
3769080
6040
62:55
not do something but if I wouldn't go running  when I was young it's like I had probably many  
615
3775120
7040
63:02
opportunities to do that and I just didn't do  it all right so it implies I wouldn't do that  
616
3782160
5880
63:08
and maybe there's an interesting reason why or  maybe maybe not all right so it could again it's  
617
3788040
8000
63:16
it's important to understand like I could say uh  I didn't go running when I was young I can it's  
618
3796040
7800
63:23
possible to say that it's grammatically correct  but the slight difference in Nuance is like  
619
3803840
4720
63:28
there's probably a reason so it's multiple times  of something there's probably a reason that's  
620
3808560
5280
63:33
important okay hopefully that makes sense but  that's what we're talking about so I would like  
621
3813840
8160
63:42
I would like if we if we want to make this like a  little bit easier and it's expressing the opposite  
622
3822000
10000
63:52
look I did I did go running when I was young here  I mean probably I went running many times I ran  
623
3832000
7840
63:59
many times and you can use both of those so I ran  many times or I I would I went running you can say  
624
3839840
5920
64:05
that U so I did do that thing so we could talk  about one time or it could mean we have multiple  
625
3845760
6680
64:12
opportunities and I did it many times okay  or I would go running it means like yes I had  
626
3852440
6280
64:18
many opportunities and I did do that thing okay  all right let me know if I'm explaining uh too
627
3858720
8400
64:27
much uh let's see all right I think I answer that  one Meg says I wouldn't go swimming in the ocean  
628
3867120
11920
64:39
because I've learned how to swim oh you can say  I haven't learned how to swim so you would say I  
629
3879040
5800
64:44
wouldn't go swimming in the ocean and I don't know  you like you could use wood for talking about the  
630
3884840
5760
64:50
past and the future and again this is why uh it's  important to know know specifically what you're  
631
3890600
4640
64:55
talking about but if you're giving like a kind  of conditional about the past like I wouldn't do  
632
3895240
5280
65:00
something because you know there were sharks  in the water all right so in that case we're  
633
3900520
6600
65:07
we're talking about something like I I wouldn't  do something because of whatever that reason was  
634
3907120
5040
65:12
and so it becomes like you can change the sentence  just maybe one word so listen carefully I wouldn't  
635
3912160
6640
65:18
go swimming because there are sharks in the water  I wouldn't go swimming because there are sharks in  
636
3918800
8400
65:27
the water I wouldn't go swimming because there are  sharks in the water now that would mean oh there's  
637
3927200
7160
65:34
like some particular like actual sharks and we're  talking about now or any advice for some kind of  
638
3934360
6240
65:40
future activity okay so I wouldn't go I wouldn't  go swimming now uh because there are sharks but  
639
3940600
9400
65:50
if I'm talking about the past I would say the  same thing but I wouldn't go swimming because  
640
3950000
4560
65:54
there were sharks in the water so that implies  like maybe there were sharks but there are no  
641
3954560
6280
66:00
sharks anymore and now I can go swimming all right  so be clear about the about what you're saying if  
642
3960840
5680
66:06
you're talking about the past or giving specific  information or advice or something about the  
643
3966520
5000
66:11
future so you can be talking about yourself like  I wouldn't do that but you can also use I wouldn't  
644
3971520
5120
66:16
do that for um like just giving advice to someone  else like I wouldn't wear uh a bright yellow shirt  
645
3976640
10440
66:27
but maybe you could do that like I wouldn't do  that like and probably the reason would be uh  
646
3987080
5840
66:32
is like you know I don't like that thing whatever  that example is all right uh okay hopefully that  
647
3992920
6120
66:39
makes sense all right uh hij Bill Han says if you  are enjoying the lesson hit the like button yes  
648
3999040
7720
66:46
said hi sire well you would say sir you could say  that if you like sire is like it's like hello my  
649
4006760
5440
66:52
king you're like my sire I'm I'm sure sure that's  probably a typo but uh the same thing this is why  
650
4012200
4640
66:56
it it it becomes in interesting like sir sir is  just like a polite thing for a man hi sir but  
651
4016840
7880
67:04
Sire oh look at that that becomes a completely  different word isn't that interesting if you'd  
652
4024720
4920
67:09
like to learn more this is called the magic e so  it turned this short vow into look at that the  
653
4029640
6200
67:15
long vowel sound so we have sir becoming sire you  will hear this in movies with knights and castles  
654
4035840
6480
67:22
and kings and things like that uh but in Frederick  you can learn more about that by clicking on the  
655
4042320
4720
67:27
link in the description uh below this video if  you'd like to learn more about uh pronouncing  
656
4047040
5440
67:32
words and spelling words that kind of thing all  right uh so watching from India I haven't go or  
657
4052480
6800
67:39
I didn't go well you would say I haven't gone uh  that's a different thing I don't want to get into  
658
4059280
4680
67:43
like additional grammar points where this video is  going to get too long we've already past an hour  
659
4063960
5600
67:49
uh but again you can do the same kind of thing  where we're comparing uh two different things and  
660
4069560
5440
67:55
you will find out more information about that uh  Wellington says great do you speak Japanese yes I  
661
4075000
4720
67:59
speak Japanese MD says you are the best teacher  oh you guys are twoo kind I think if you if you  
662
4079720
4480
68:04
look on like anybody's YouTube video there will  be people who say you are the best teacher I  
663
4084200
5920
68:10
do appreciate the compliment though Raina says  greetings from Venezuela Compass plus hey good  
664
4090120
4840
68:14
morning H Ray hi Lewis another yoshioka here yes  if you're in uh Brazil there are like many people  
665
4094960
7280
68:22
with uh like like Japanese names over there  I wouldn't study English when I was young yes  
666
4102240
7400
68:29
that's correct so I wouldn't study English when  I was young in that case it means like you didn't  
667
4109640
4800
68:34
do it or you refused to do it you didn't want to  do it or you just you know had some opportunities  
668
4114440
5400
68:39
and you didn't take them so I wouldn't do that  so if you say I didn't study English when you  
669
4119840
4760
68:44
were young that's just a statement of fact you're  just yeah like when I was young I didn't have an  
670
4124600
4680
68:49
English teacher you know that kind of thing  Academy again says which is better clear the  
671
4129280
4720
68:54
board or erase the board both of them are fine  remember that there's never just like one perfect  
672
4134000
4920
68:58
way to say something you could explain things in  many different ways and this is how we get like  
673
4138920
5360
69:04
what I call naturally varied review remember  natives are beginning with a situation so if  
674
4144280
5040
69:09
the situation is clearing the board so this is the  situation I'm doing some kind of action right here  
675
4149320
8880
69:18
I could wipe off the board I could wipe down the  board I could clear the board I could erase the  
676
4158200
5840
69:24
board lots of different ways to uh to explain  this and it's not like one of them is better  
677
4164040
5280
69:29
than the others it's just you would hear different  people saying different things so usually the way  
678
4169320
6000
69:35
I often explain it is for a particular situation  whatever that situation is you will have maybe a  
679
4175320
6840
69:42
like a bell curve of particular phrases that you  might hear so if the situation is ordering food  
680
4182160
7400
69:49
at a restaurant all right let's say we're going to  McDonald's or something and I want to order some  
681
4189560
4600
69:54
food uh often you will hear people say like can I  get because this is a casual way of saying this so  
682
4194160
7880
70:02
if we have 100 people go McDonald's you would have  like a lot of people saying can I get so can I get  
683
4202040
6600
70:08
can I get can I get can I get and you might have  a few people who say may may I have but it would  
684
4208640
8800
70:17
be fewer people and they're speaking more politely  people are going to be less polite at a McDonald's  
685
4217440
5520
70:22
because it's casual okay and so these are the  things like you you get a sense for what is more  
686
4222960
5480
70:28
useful or more often used than something else but  both of them are fine okay but this is again why  
687
4228440
7360
70:35
it's important we begin with the situation we want  to think about when people are using things why  
688
4235800
5160
70:40
is it important for someone to you know to learn  these particular things as you get more examples  
689
4240960
5320
70:46
it's more examples that help you understand  the language better you don't become fluent  
690
4246280
4200
70:50
by learning one thing and repeating it again and  again because because often in real conversations  
691
4250480
5360
70:55
people will say something different oh like I'm  wiping the board but my teacher said clear the  
692
4255840
5280
71:01
board okay they're both fine so in that case  you're you're getting multiple examples because  
693
4261120
5920
71:07
you really want to learn the same way natives do  this is why we give so many examples INF fluent  
694
4267040
4680
71:11
for life that's the whole point of the program  all right let's see if we uh but good question  
695
4271720
5000
71:16
Myra said uh absolutely 100% 100 uh uh wonderful  example one uh excuse me wonderful explanation  
696
4276720
6400
71:23
glader yes my bad MZ just opened my eye in the  middle of the night it's so frustrating see you  
697
4283120
5400
71:28
later it's okay remember these are uh you can  join us for the live but the replays are always  
698
4288520
5040
71:33
available uh B says hello teacher and all of you  watching learning English all right Miami toar as  
699
4293560
7320
71:40
you said I changed my handle name much appreciated  now you can just say handle handle means name so  
700
4300880
7280
71:48
you can just say handle I changed my handle good  work though all right Meg says because I haven't  
701
4308160
5480
71:53
learned how to swim yeah all right so if you're  talking about like from the past even up until now  
702
4313640
5840
71:59
the same thing all Myra says I wouldn't eat fish  because I have an allergy is that what you mean  
703
4319480
5880
72:05
an allergy y I wouldn't eat fish because I had  an allergy so in that case like uh you would be  
704
4325360
5600
72:10
talking about something in the past so I wouldn't  eat fish because I have an allergy uh you would  
705
4330960
6120
72:17
probably just say like I don't eat fish because  I have an allergy so in that case you're stating  
706
4337080
4520
72:21
a fact uh if you say I would eat fish because I  have an allergy is like maybe you you didn't in  
707
4341600
7160
72:28
the past but you would now all right so again  that's a slightly different usage of it uh but  
708
4348760
6360
72:35
if you're talking about like something you would  do or something you would not do it's important  
709
4355120
4440
72:39
also to to keep the tense correct so I wouldn't do  something because I had an allergy in that example  
710
4359560
7760
72:47
it means you didn't do something because you had  an allergy and that would mean now I don't but if  
711
4367320
5920
72:53
you you're talking about in general like for my  whole life and I'm continuing I'm still alive so  
712
4373240
6400
72:59
my whole life I have had an allergy to fish and  so I have not eaten fish I don't I don't eat any  
713
4379640
7040
73:06
fish so you could just very simply say I don't  eat fish because I I'm am allergic that's the  
714
4386680
5360
73:12
like fastest way to say it all right so you  you can begin with something simple but if  
715
4392040
3880
73:15
we're talking about something that happened in  the past and now that's changed so a condition  
716
4395920
4800
73:20
again that's what we mean by a conditional like  what is the condition what is the reason so if I  
717
4400720
5040
73:25
had a reason the reason was allergy uh and I don't  have that reason anymore then the sentence changes  
718
4405760
6480
73:32
so I wouldn't eat fish because I had an allergy I  wouldn't eat fish because I had an allergy but now  
719
4412240
7520
73:39
I'm fine so that's what that means it's like  before I had an allergy when I was young but  
720
4419760
4000
73:43
now the allergy is gone so I can eat fish now all  right so pay attention uh and uh think carefully  
721
4423760
8360
73:52
about what you want to say like again it don't  start with the words think about the situation  
722
4432120
4680
73:56
oh okay I had an allergy before now I do not so I  can talk about something that happened before but  
723
4436800
5480
74:02
now something has changed all right uh let's see  uh okay Osburn says I wouldn't go running meaning  
724
4442280
11600
74:13
whenever I faced a chance to decide if I went  running or not the answer is always no yes so if  
725
4453880
4880
74:18
you're talking about like I wouldn't go running  like I wouldn't I wouldn't take my shirt off at  
726

74:50
the description below this video that will allow  them to teach them themselves English um and so  
731
4490440
6200
74:56
like what I do is uh it's obviously useful for  preparing for certain tests uh and it will help  
732
4496640
6120
75:02
you speak which will help you on any kind of  speaking test it doesn't matter what the test  
733
4502760
4160
75:06
is but I'm not a specific I Els or or or toic or  whatever that kind of teacher so if you want that  
734
4506920
7000
75:13
specific kind of training to pass a test look for  that kind of teacher if you want to speak that's  
735
4513920
5040
75:18
what I do all right let's see all right you guys  getting lots of questions in here all right uh rth  
736
4518960
10160
75:29
says I could not do that yeah if you're talking  about the past hello teacher have a nice day today  
737
4529120
4960
75:34
teacher what uh do you have a cup of water well  I have my usual bottle thank you for reminding
738
4534080
6800
75:40
me yes usually I need to have a a cup might be  better but uh how can we buy your FFL in China  
739
4540880
11360
75:52
since China has no paper pay can we pay using alip  pay or WeChat I think we might allow that in the  
740
4552240
5600
75:57
future we don't currently uh typically we have  people joining us from China just use a credit  
741
4557840
5200
76:03
card and a VPN I think um or they just ask someone  to pay for them and then pay them back in cash so  
742
4563040
7080
76:10
we do have members in China um I don't know if the  government knows about that but however they are  
743
4570120
6280
76:16
able to pay uh people we do have people in China  from uh who are fluent for Life members though  
744
4576400
6360
76:22
all right but we uh look forward to welcoming  you to the program uh how do I understand what  
745
4582760
6480
76:29
I'm reading uh you should read things that you  understand I know that sounds like that's kind  
746
4589240
5120
76:34
of a a weird response to that but you should be  reading things that you understand most of already  
747
4594360
6240
76:40
uh and then you slowly expand your understanding  or to talk about things that uh like you should  
748
4600600
5720
76:46
you basically you should be understanding 80  to 90% of what you read so that new things  
749
4606320
5040
76:51
it's easy to understand within the context and  that helps you learn this way you're trying to  
750
4611360
4880
76:56
connect again understand situations rather than  just trying to learn vocabulary by stopping and  
751
4616240
5800
77:02
looking things up in a dictionary uh Unice again  nice to see you there kaen Chin Chin Ching how got  
752
4622040
11760
77:13
though let's see uh Academy Book Club thank you  so much uh Charles back long time no see what is  
753
4633800
4600
77:18
the shortcut to get a perfect score for toek test  as a second learner again uh look for someone who  
754
4638400
6560
77:24
focuses on that I can't tell you the best advice  and you should have good advice uh so find people  
755
4644960
5040
77:30
who focus on toic I'm sure you can find people  right here on YouTube that do that uh and ask  
756
4650000
5160
77:35
them Sebastian says when we have to use who which  uh I covered that a little bit earlier in the  
757
4655160
5560
77:40
video uh but these are again like these kind of  differences this is this is the kind of thing we  
758
4660720
4840
77:45
do in fluent for life so we make whole videos  that are like helping you understand this and  
759
4665560
5080
77:50
it's it's actually with like videos of stuff you  can see like actions happening it's much easier to  
760
4670640
5520
77:56
understand it that way uh I just try to write  things and keep them simple up here uh but if  
761
4676160
4920
78:01
you'd like to learn more about that uh then you  can do that uh let's see all right Ash girl hey  
762
4681080
9720
78:10
Elder says how's it going Drew just in time let's  learn some English from you it's my pleasure well  
763
4690800
5240
78:16
we'll see how much longer we go if I can get to  the end of these comments if people keep asking  
764
4696040
5080
78:21
me questions over here MD says speaking not very  fluent sir very day try again yes typically if  
765
4701120
9200
78:30
you can understand what I'm saying but you can't  speak you are at the fluency Gap so this is where  
766
4710320
7280
78:37
you you know English I'll just draw like a little  Cliff over here and a cliff over here most people  
767
4717600
5120
78:42
are like you know they're kind of on this side  over here and they want to be on the fluent side  
768
4722720
5200
78:47
and the way you get here is by deleting destroying  ending the doubt that you have about individual  
769
4727920
6600
78:54
words in grammar so you actually cross this for  individual words and phrases that's how you get  
770
4734520
5280
78:59
from the awareness level to the ownership  level when you can speak all right so you  
771
4739800
4600
79:04
need to eliminate the doubt that's why I spend so  much time on individual lessons I'm not trying to  
772
4744400
4720
79:09
teach you a thousand things at the same time uh I  really want to help you understand and eliminate  
773
4749120
4880
79:14
any doubt you have about particular pieces of  you know what could be uh vocabulary or grammar  
774
4754000
5920
79:19
or pronunciation whatever uh let's see here all  right yeah these the comments like scrolling up  
775
4759920
10280
79:30
too fast over here unit again would has many  uses would you do that for me permission yes  
776
4770200
5160
79:35
that's correct like would you like you can ask  someone else if they would like something you  
777
4775360
4720
79:40
know like I I bring a glass of water to your table  or something would you like some more water all  
778
4780080
6560
79:46
right uh thong says I noticed that sometimes the  native speakers do ignore the word ending sound  
779
4786640
5760
79:52
is that okay okay yes uh I don't I don't want to  like speak generally or I guess specifically about  
780
4792400
5440
79:57
it uh but it depends on the situation and yes  you will hear people speaking faster not saying  
781
4797840
6600
80:04
whole sentences or whole words or eliminating  different pieces like that uh it's in the middle  
782
4804440
6000
80:10
of sentences as well not just at the end uh let's  see Lewis says much appreciate I do understand it  
783
4810440
6480
80:16
now glad to hear it says would can be substituted  with used to right no that's a different thing uh  
784
4816920
7080
80:24
again it depends on for that situation so like  uh if if you're talking about something you did  
785
4824000
5800
80:29
in the past you could say yes I would or you used  to but like used to and would are not always the  
786
4829800
6240
80:36
same so I really want to make that clear like  I got this sometimes you can use uh used to  
787
4836040
5320
80:41
and that has its own meaning or would has its  own meaning sometimes they mean the same thing  
788
4841360
4040
80:45
so it's important to understand when people say  things always go for the situation first really  
789
4845400
5640
80:51
understand the situation and then try to think  think about what are the words people are using  
790
4851040
4120
80:55
in that situation Academy learned a lot glad to  hear it looks like lots of uh clapping hands over  
791
4855160
4920
81:00
there receiver says I wouldn't and I used is there  the same difference I wouldn't didn't all I don't  
792
4860080
5560
81:05
want to go into too much detail about that uh but  again these are the kinds of things that we cover  
793
4865640
4680
81:10
in fluent for Life maybe in another lesson uh  here we can cover more distinctions like this uh  
794
4870320
6080
81:16
so for my next video I don't know what I'll talk  about yet but if you have specific questions let  
795
4876400
5040
81:21
me know what's the difference between used two  and W yes as another example for another time  
796
4881440
5120
81:26
hello I'm from Iran ameg says I wouldn't talk  to people when I was a teenager because I was  
797
4886560
4600
81:31
too shy is it correct yes that's how you would  say it all right so remember it is possible you  
798
4891160
5120
81:36
can say I didn't talk to people when I was a  teenager because I was too shy but would you  
799
4896280
4480
81:40
are using it correctly it has the better Nuance  for that situation all right uh Ash girl you are  
800
4900760
8760
81:49
doing amazing teaching glad to here I appreciate  it please tell us about the fever of the English

4160
81:53

4913680
3720
81:57
the description below this video or you can  go to English anyone.com and learn more about  
803
4917400
4640
82:02
things let's see thanks for your explanation you  could say thanks for your explanation let's see
804
4922040
6680
82:08
AR that's an interesting name I do have this  huge pressure on me that I have to be native  
805
4928720
8160
82:16
speaker be a native speaker in a short time while  I'm in the states I never watch American shows uh  
806
4936880
5520
82:22
and talking to others in English so my English is  so bad well if it why why are you not if you're  
807
4942400
6800
82:29
putting pressure on yourself why are you not  watching shows or trying to talk with people I  
808
4949200
6400
82:35
I don't understand but if you want to uh it's okay  to put pressure on yourself to learn but it's more  
809
4955600
7040
82:42
I should put pressure on myself to keep like to  stay with something until I really get it if you  
810
4962640
6200
82:48
don't understand that thing uh it's okay to like  stop and maybe get get some more examples and come  
811
4968840
5080
82:53
back another time uh but you really should uh be  focusing on on a particular thing like we're doing  
812
4973920
6360
83:00
this so I will keep like for myself I will keep  hitting something until I knock that thing out  
813
4980280
5560
83:05
and so I like to do the same thing for my students  because if I can give you that fluency trigger and  
814
4985840
6240
83:12
really help you understand something then you  will finally feel confident about using that  
815
4992080
4120
83:16
particular thing then we move on to something else  all right but it's best to focus on one thing at a  
816
4996200
6040
83:22
time sebas says I want to buy a course to achieve  B2 level do you have material for sale yeah it's  
817
5002240
4480
83:26
called fluent for life you can click on the uh  Link in the description below uh B says a student  
818
5006720
7600
83:34
from Iran I'm not your enemy well I'm not your  enemy either you know I don't have any enemies  
819
5014320
5040
83:39
all right thank you for your an sir thanks let's  see I want to learn English for IELTS from you  
820
5019360
4320
83:43
can I again we don't focus on IELTS but obviously  all the things that we do teach will improve your  
821
5023680
5320
83:49
I score and we have many Learners who do uh do  well after they uh they take our program we just  
822
5029000
6240
83:55
don't like Focus specifically on tests so I can't  give you the best advice for that receiver do you  
823
5035240
6440
84:01
have a video about using self-reflection pronouns  uh I think we probably have yes uh in fluent for  
824
5041680
7560
84:09
life we should have that thanks for answering my  question explain what does a nuance mean a Nuance  
825
5049240
4640
84:13
is like a slight difference about something so  in the example before the car didn't start or  
826
5053880
5680
84:19
the car wouldn't start uh they really could  mean the same thing uh but the slight Nuance  
827
5059560
6480
84:26
the slight difference in meaning is that uh this  car like didn't start maybe I tried something one  
828
5066040
5800
84:31
time uh or I don't care about the reason but uh  the car wouldn't start maybe I've tried it many  
829
5071840
6040
84:37
times or there's a reason the car wouldn't start  because of some other reason but if I just say  
830
5077880
6240
84:44
the car didn't start I'm just telling you a fact  it doesn't really matter maybe there's no further  
831
5084120
5280
84:49
information you need all right I used to to study  Japanese when living in Japan but now I study on  
832
5089400
5960
84:55
my own who glad to hear your voice is clear and  I understand speaking all right oh no and look at  
833
5095360
6440
85:01
that we got a siren right at the end of the show  all right uh we will close it down for today if  
834
5101800
5120
85:06
you do have questions uh and you didn't uh get to  join us in the live video do let me know if you  
835
5106920
5520
85:12
have specific questions I can cover things I think  I've probably even covered used to uh in previous  
836
5112440
7040
85:19
videos I'm pretty sure I have and we definitely  cover that influence for life uh as well but  
837
5119480
5080
85:24
uh remember the important Point here is to find  something you want to make it simple compare it  
838
5124560
5080
85:29
with other things if you're if you already don't  have uh something so this this learner actually  
839
5129640
5200
85:34
had the these particular things for this situation  um but we really want to find something simple  
840
5134840
7000
85:41
and then get lots of examples until we really  understand that thing so focus on the situation  
841
5141840
5400
85:47
when would we use something and then you will feel  confident about using it for that situation and  
842
5147240
4560
85:51
remember that we often will have multiple ways of  expressing something for a particular situation  
843
5151800
5880
85:57
hopefully that makes sense all right let's see  final sir could you make a video on difference  
844
5157680
5320
86:03
between notion and concept I mean that that's  you don't need a whole video about that uh very  
845
5163000
7000
86:10
quickly though like an interesting thing about  like a notion is just kind of like it's almost  
846
5170000
3640
86:13
like a quick thought but a concept is typically  something you you spend more time developing all  
847
5173640
5320
86:18
right so if I have a notion like ah I think  it would be interesting to do something but  
848
5178960
5040
86:24
I haven't thought about how to do it or I have an  idea about teaching or something so like a notion  
849
5184000
5360
86:29
is like people should understand before they  speak that's like kind of notion like a thought  
850
5189360
5320
86:34
but I develop that into an idea of like I should  give you a fluency trigger that's a concept where  
851
5194680
5040
86:39
we actually help you understand something and I'm  thinking about it more developing uh like a notion  
852
5199720
5440
86:45
into a a bigger idea all right look at that extra  extra bonus lesson all right uh plural nuances in  
853
5205160
8280
86:53
English is are the same Portuguese nuances well  I I can't speak to Portuguese uh but we will come  
854
5213440
5160
86:58
back for another video next time should be uh this  Thursday I believe Japan time around the same time  
855
5218600
7960
87:06
uh come on back join us uh and I hope you guys are  en enjoying but if you'd like to learn a lot more

you can click on links in the description below  this video to learn more about frederck uh fluent  
857
5232280
5120
87:17
for life let's see I heard that people don't use  the word native instead of native speaker what  
858
5237400
4960
87:22
you do is that the case for all native speakers  uh it doesn't matter you can use both of those  
859
5242360
7080
87:29
that's fine all right well that's enough before I  lose my voice completely I will see you next time
