ONE HOUR ENGLISH LESSON - Advanced English Grammar (FIX These Common GRAMMAR MISTAKES)

Hello and welcome to this one hour English lesson.  In this lesson you're going to learn advanced  

English grammar, and you're going to correct  the most common grammar mistakes that I hear  

advanced students make. Now because this lesson is  long, I have divided it into individual sections,  

where first you'll review an advanced grammar  topic, and then you'll complete a quiz to make  

sure you understand that context. And then  you'll continue on to the next one. Welcome  

back to JForrest English training, of course, I'm  Jennifer and this is your place to become fluent,  

confident English speaker. Let's get started.  First, let's talk about the difference between

all all of that and all that.

So what's the difference between all students  struggle with their speaking skills? All of the  

students or all the students struggle with their  English speaking skills well, first you need to  

know the difference between a plural now without  an article and a plural noun with an article. So  

what's the difference between students and  the students? This is the first thing you  

need to know when we have a plural noun with no  article in front of it. It's a general plural now,  

we're talking about students in general, any  student, any subject, any age, any background,  

any students are all so students when we put  the article in front of a plural noun students,  

now we're limiting it to a specific group of  students, the students in my class, the students  

I work with the students in university,  so it's not general, we're limiting it.  

So that's the difference between all students and  all all the students or all students and all the  

students all students is general. The students  is specific. Now of course that leaves us with  

the question, what's the difference between all of  the students and all the students? So why in one  

case we use the preposition of and in the other  we don't? The answer is simple. In spoken English,  

we just leave out the word of because it's  only there for grammar and it's not there for  

meaning and this is just an acceptable  thing that we do. With the structure

all all the ends up

plural. Now, you can think of of as optional  and when we remove it, this is generally done in  

spoken English and there is no difference between  the two. However to be safe, and to make sure  

you're always grammatical. I recommend using up  because it's always correct. All of the students  

and I'm recommending that because there is an  exception, and we must use all followed by a row  

now. It's incorrect to say all of us went to the  party. That's incorrect because us is a pronoun.  

And because of that, I must say all of us all of  us went to the party. I can't say all of us went  

to the party. That's incorrect. That's just an  exception. We use the pronoun students is not a  

pronoun. So I can say all of the students went to  the party or all the students went to the party.  

In that case, both of them are correct and I can  get rid of. So if you want, you can use the casual  

form that most native speakers use and get rid of,  except when it's followed by a pronoun, then you  

must use up and again to be safe. I recommend  using the structure all of the and plural now,  

remember when we're talking about plural nouns  in general, not a specific group. Then we get  

rid of Bob and I can say all students struggle  with their speaking skills. So to summarize,  

all three are correct. So now it's your turn to  practice. I want you to leave three examples in  

the comments below. And remember, if you get  rid of of you can't use a pronoun. So remember  

that the leader examples in the comments below are  you ready for your quiz? Here are your questions,  

hit pause, take as much time as you need and  when you're ready, hit play to see the answers.

How did you do with that quiz? Share your score in  

the comments. And let's continue on to the  next section. And let's continue on to the  

next section. Now let's talk about although  even though and though all three of these are  

transition words. They're used to show contrast.  So what does that mean? To show contrast? It means  

you're going to have two ideas and the transition  word although even though are though, are going  

to connect those two ideas together. But those two  ideas must have some sort of contrast in them. So  

you can think of one idea as more of a positive  and the other idea as more of a negative. There  

has to be some sort of contrast. Now what's the  difference between although even though and now,  

the level of formality, that although is the  most formal, even though slightly less formal,  

and though is the most casual? Now in terms of  sentence structure? There are one difference  

also with though, which I'll explain at the end,  but otherwise, the only difference between them  

is the formality. Let me give you an example.  Even though I'm busy, I enrolled in my course.  

So here, notice how there are two distinct ideas.  I'm busy. I enrolled in a course, you can think of  

these ideas as being in contrast their opposite  ideas, because one might think if you're busy,  

you wouldn't have time to enroll in a court. So  that's why we can use although even though or  

though to show that contrast and connect those  ideas together. Now notice the placement here,  

although even though order though can come at the  very beginning of a sentence. You can say even  

though I'm busy, although I'm busy though I'm  busy, I enrolled in courts. Now another common  

placement is to have although even though are  though, before your second idea, so you can think  

of it in the middle of your sentence. So I can  take the that exact same sentence, but change the  

placement and say I enrolled in that course. Even  though I'm busy. Although I'm busy though. I'm  

busy. So we can call at the very beginning of the  sentence or in the middle of the sentence before  

your second idea. And it doesn't matter which  one you use. Both of them are interchangeable  

and they both sound professional and natural. Now  remember at the beginning of the video, I said  

there's one sentence structure with though that's  different. And that sentence structure is that  

you can use though at the end of your sentence.  This can only be done with though so we don't do  

this with although and we don't do this with even  though it can only be done with both. So I can say  

I'm really busy. I enrolled in the course though,  and I can add go at the very end. This makes it  

sound a lot more casual, a lot more conversational  and what it's what you'll frequently hear native  

speakers use in conversation. Now native speakers  commonly use though at the end of the sentence  

when the second idea isn't identified. The  contrast isn't identified but it's obvious based  

on context. What do I mean by that? Well, let me  show you a real world example. Here's something I  

wrote in the comment section of the YouTube video.  And notice I said great job practicing though.  

Great job practicing though Now I'll be honest,  though, is optional. I could just completely get  

rid of it and say great job practicing. The only  reason a native speaker includes though at the end  

of an idea is to imply that there's a contrast. So  even though you don't see the contrast is there.  

So what is the contrast here? Well, the context  is that this student tried an practice example  

and he made a mistake. So I corrected that mistake  and I said, Great job practicing though. So if I  

were to write this as our structure of idea, one  idea to combined with our transition where I could  

say although you made a mistake, you did a great  job, or you did a great job, even though you made  

a mistake. So no one is that I can take that same  meaning and just imply that the contrast is there  

by using though at the very end of a sentence  and only having no one idea. This is probably  

an advanced use, and you probably won't feel  comfortable using it yourself right now, but a lot  

of students are confused when native speakers just  throw in a though and say something like thanks,  

though. Thanks though. I love to though. So now  you understand the only reason we're doing that  

is to show a contrast. So now you know how to use  although even though and I'd like you to leave  

three example sentences, one using the transition  word at the beginning. One using that transition  

word in the middle and one using though at the  end. Remember for the final example it has to be  

though, because that's the only one we use at the  end. Are you ready for your quiz? Here are your  

questions. Hit pause, take as much time as you  need and when you're ready, hit play to see the

answers.

How did you do with that quiz? Share your score  in the comments. And let's continue on to the  

next section. And let's continue on to the next  section. Now let's talk about even though and  

even if first of all, you need to know that  they don't have the same meaning. They're not  

used interchangeably. So they're both used in  a very specific situation. So let's begin with  

even though even though is used when something is  true, but it doesn't impact the action that you  

take or the decision that you make. For example,  I could say even though it's raining, I'm going  

for a walk. So remember this something is true.  So there's something that comes immediately after  

even though is true. So if I look outside my  window right now it's raining even though it's  

raining. That's true. But remember, it doesn't  impact my action or my decision. So in this case,  

it doesn't impact my decision to go for a walk.  Even though it's raining. I'm going for a walk  

now in terms of placement. This is flexible, we  can switch the order of the two clauses, so I can  

start with the action. I'm going for a walk even  though it's raining. Now let's compare this to  

even if what you need to remember with even f is  not this is a hypothetical situation. So that's  

the main difference because remember, even though  100% true even if it's a hypothetical situation,  

okay, so for example, I could say even if it  rains, I'm going for a walk. So when I look out my  

window at this moment in time, it's not raining,  because I'm just talking about a hypothetical  

situation. But for me to say that even if it  rains, most likely it looks like there are dark  

clouds. It looks like it's going to rain. There  must be a reason for me to talk about the rain. If  

I use this expression, even if it rains, I'm going  for a walk. Now it may rain, it may not rain. We  

don't know the outcome of that situation. But if  it does rain if it doesn't rain, it doesn't impact  

my decision or it doesn't impact the action. So  that part of the expression is the same for both.  

In both cases. It doesn't impact your decision or  your action or the outcome in general. But even  

though 100% True, even if it's hypothetical, so  that's the main difference to really understand  

is you just need to practice them. Practice them  side by side so you can see how the meaning of  

your idea changes. So that's what I suggest you do  right out. Take one example but try one with even  

though and one with even F and see how it changes  the meaning and the sentence structure as well. So  

put those in the comment section below. Are you  ready for your quiz? Here are your questions,  

hit pause, take as much time as you need and  when you're ready, hit play to see the answers.

How did you do with that quiz?  

Share your score in the comments. And let's  continue on to the next section. Now let's  

talk about as if and as though now in terms of  difference between the two. There is no difference  

so you can use them interchangeably. They have the  same meaning with that said as there is a lot more  

common. So if you had to choose between using one  I would recommend as the examples I give you are  

all going to use as it because it sounds way more  natural to me and I don't really use as though  

in my speech. So I recommend using as it but you  can absolutely use as though and it has the same  

meaning. So as if and as though are conjunctions  we use them in two different ways. The first is  

when it's an on real comparison. So the important  thing to keep in mind here is this is a impossible  

situation. It's a hypothetical situation.  So because of that we're going to use the  

subjunctive verb tense. I could say he acted as if  he were the CEO. So here in this sentence, he were  

the CEO. Notice we're gonna use the subjunctive  verb tense because in a past simple sentence,  

I would simply say he was the CEO. But that means  it was real. It's in the passion. Also, it's over  

the action is complete, but at a time in the past,  in reality, he was the CEO. But in my example,  

he acted as if he were the CEO. This is an  unreal comparison. I'm comparing him to the CEO,  

but he is not the CEO. Because of that, I'm using  the past simple in the first part of the sentence,  

I'm using as if as the conjunction and then  after, as if I need a clause. So just a subject,  

a verb and an object, but that verb should be in  the past subjunctive. So just make sure that verb  

to be is in we're for all the subjects I could  say. I acted as if I were the CEO. But because  

I use as if I were, you know that I'm not the  CEO. It's an unreal comparison. Now, another  

common way we use as if and as though, is for a  situation that seems likely or seems possible.  

In this case, we're not using the subjunctive  because there is a possibility that it can be  

real. So because of that, we're just going to use  different verb tenses depending on the context and  

where are we are on our timeline. So I could say  you look as if you haven't slept in days. So here  

you haven't slept in days. That's in the present  perfect because it started in the past. And it  

continues until now. And I'm using as F to suggest  that although this seems possible, it seems likely  

I'm not 100% sure that it's true. So there is some  doubt to the statement, you might reply back and  

say no, actually, I've been sleeping fine. Now in  this use only when we're using it for something  

that seems likely or possible, but we're not 100%  True. Native speakers commonly use like, you look  

like you haven't slept in date. And honestly,  for me, it sounds a lot more natural to use,  

like I use as if because that's the purpose of  this video, but in an everyday conversation with  

friends or coworkers, I would use like so to  summarize as if and as though have the same  

meaning. They're both conjunctions, however,  as if it's a lot more common and I recommend  

using it to sound more natural. They're used for  two different reasons. The first is a on real  

comparison. You have to use the past simple and  the past subjunctive verb tense. And the second  

time you can use this is when you're suggesting  that something seems likely or possible,  

but you're not 100% Sure. And in this case, you  can use any verb tense depending on the context.  

And you can also substitute answer for like, so  now you know how to use as it and as though so  

it's your turn to practice. I want you to leave  two examples, one on real comparison. And the  

second example for the seems likely or possible  so put those in the comment section below.

Are you ready for your quiz?

Here are your questions, hit pause,  

take as much time as you need and when  you're ready, hit play to see the answers.

How did you do with that quiz? Share your  score in the comments. And let's continue  

on to the next section. And let's continue on to  the next section. Now let's talk about how to use  

the sentence structure to be supposed to we use  this expression to talk about all the legation or  

commitment. So when you use this, you're using it  with something that you're required to do because  

of an obligation or commitment. Let me give you  an example sentence tonight. I'm going to a little  

holiday party. So this morning I said to Kevin, I  said What time are we supposed to be there? What  

time are we supposed to be there? Now remember, is  about a commitment or an obligation. So because we  

agreed to go to this party, we said yes, we will  be there we made a commitment to go to that party.  

So you don't have to use this expression just for  big big major commitment. You can use it for minor  

things like just agreeing to go to a party and  of course when we agreed to go to that party,  

well there's a start time to the party. So that's  the requirement or the commitment for us. What  

time are we supposed to be there? Now let's talk  about the sentence structure. So our sentence  

structure is to be suppose and then infinitive.  So the to to be supposed to that to belongs to  

the infinitive verb. Now here's what you need  to keep in mind. This is a to b expression.  

That means to be is our main verb. It's the verb  that's conjugated according to the subject, and  

according to the time reference, suppose is always  in an IDI form, okay, in ways it doesn't change,  

and we always use the infinitive following Suppose  so in my sentence, what time are we supposed to  

be there? Now? Our is being conjugated with our  subject we write and for verb tense in the present  

simple okay? The verb to be is being conjugated in  the present simple. Now we use the present simple  

form in this expression to talk about a future  event. That's what you need to keep in mind.  

So the party I'm going to is tonight, it's  in the future, but I'm putting my verb to  

be in the present simple. Let me give you  another example. I can say, I am supposed  

to call my uncle tomorrow. On the verb to be  is being conjugated with the subject. I am on  

and it's in the present simple, even though  it's high reference is the future tomorrow.  

I'm supposed to call to call is our infinitive.  I'm supposed to call my uncle tomorrow. That  

means that I have a commitment or an obligation  to call my uncle. I told him or I told somebody  

else that yes, all call him tomorrow. I'm supposed  to call my uncle tomorrow. So just remember for  

future commitment, we use our expression in the  present simple and it's the verb to be that being  

conjugated with our subject and in a present  simple Now also keep in mind that whether or  

not I actually call my uncle tomorrow, is not  known. Okay? It's a future event. Will I do it?  

Who knows? That's not really the point. The point  of this expression isn't to talk about whether or  

not that action actually happened. The point is  just to express an obligation or a commitment. I'm  

supposed to call my uncle tomorrow. Maybe I will.  Maybe I won't. I guess it depends what happens  

tomorrow how busy of a day I have, but I do have  an obligation or I made a commitment to call him.  

Now this expression is commonly used in the past  as well. So we've already talked about how to use  

it in the present simple so let's talk about how  to use it in the past. Let me give you an example.  

I could simply say I was supposed to call my uncle  yesterday. Okay, I was our verb to be is in the  

past and it's conjugated with the subject. I I was  supposed to call remember, suppose an infinitive  

does not change. I was supposed to call my uncle  yesterday. Now question for you. If I say I was  

supposed to call my uncle yesterday. Did I call  my uncle yesterday? Hmm. What do you think? Let  

us know in the comments, do you think yes I did or  no I did. Let us know in the comment. This is very  

important to keep in mind. If this expression is  used in the past. The action did not happen. Okay.  

I did call my uncle yesterday. I was supposed to  call my uncle yesterday. But if commonly followed  

with but and then you provide your reason.  I was supposed to call my uncle yesterday,  

but I was really busy at work and I couldn't.  So keep that in mind. The action did not happen.  

All right, let's summarize what we know. The  expression is to be supposed to, I after suppose  

we have our infinite, suppose an infinitive  never change. It's always like that. This is  

a verb TO BE expression, the verb to be changes  according to your subject and your tie referent.  

This expression is used with a commitment  or an obligation that you have. We use this  

expression in the present simple to talk about a  future commitment. We don't know if that future  

commitment will actually happen. We use this  expression in the past simple to talk about an  

action that did not happen even though you had an  obligation or a requirement to do it. So now you  

know how to use the expression TO MEET supposed to  and now it's your turn to practice. So make sure  

you leave two examples in the comments below. One  in the present simple for a future event. And the  

other in the past simple for an Action Man did  not happen. I cannot wait to read your examples.

Are you ready for your quiz? Here are

your questions. Hit pause take as much  time as you need and when you're ready,  

hit play to see the answers.

How did you do with that quiz? Share  your score in the comments. And let's  

continue on to the next section. And let's  continue on to the next section. Now let's  

talk about the difference between the  future symbol and the future continuous

okay, this verb tense is the future continuous.  The future continuous that's our verb tense okay.  

So that's what this is M future  continuous. She will be demonstrating  

and you know it's the future continuous for two  reasons. Well, of course we know it's the future  

because of will right so automatically we know  it's the future. But it's not just the future  

because the you know we have this ing verb like  the student was talking about. But not only do  

we have the ing verb we have the beaver as well.  So the combination of will be and then an ing er  

that's how you know it's the future continuous.  So the Future Simple is just will and a base for  

the future continuous is will be and then you  put your her in ING it's always be because will  

is a modal and after modal we use the base  verb so it's always be that does not change.  

And then just add ing to your verb. So why  are we using the future continuous here is  

now the question because it's not just why we're  using the ing we're using the ing because it's  

the future continuous and the future continuous  requires the ing verb. But why is this sentence  

in the future continuous. So where's the future  continuous distress the duration of an action.  

So it has to be an action that's going to  take place over a period of time. So there's  

a start to that action, and there's some sort of  duration and then there's an end to that action.  

That's when we can use the future continuous  or 10. There has to be some sort of duration.

Now here's the thing, the future continuous  is not the most common verb tense,  

mainly because native speakers just  will use the Future Simple instead.  

So often, the Future Simple can be used  instead of the future continuous and  

there's no difference in meaning and that's  what native speakers do a lot. of the time.

So for example, I'll demonstrate

advanced Fellay positions in class  today. This is the Future Simple.  

Okay, so let me just put it  side by side so it's very clear.

I guess I should aside she'll make it the same.  And I won't use that contraction just to make  

it very obvious. She will demonstrate this is  the Future Simple will and base for she will  

demonstrate advanced ballet positions and class  today. She will be demonstrating advanced ballet  

positions in class day. So this is the future  continuance. Now although they're in different  

verb tenses. And although we use the future  continuous to stress the duration of an action,  

I don't hear a difference of meaning  between these two like ultimately the  

meaning is the same. So because of that, native  speakers will just use the Future Simple.  

Now, let me just give you another example. I'll be  reviewing the exercises tomorrow. I'll review the  

exercises tomorrow. Again, we have a future  continuous and a future simple, but really,  

I would say there's no difference in meaning.  And if I say this one, but then my next sentence,  

I change it and use the Future Simple. There's  no reason why I did that. Okay. If you really,  

really, really want to stress the duration  of an action, then you can use the future  

continuous. If it's really important for the  audience to know that there's a duration,  

then you can use the future continuous just  to make it clear. Now just an important note,  

just remember continuous tenses, any continuous  tense, so any tense that's an ing is a continuous  

tense. It can only be used with action verbs,  so not the the verbs, and it can only be used  

if the action has a continuation. Many actions.  They don't happen over a period of time. They  

just happen in an instant. Okay? So for example,  I'll be tired tomorrow. This is the Future Simple.  

But then, I'll be being tired tomorrow. We can't  do this in the future continuous because the verb  

be is a state of verb, so it can't exist and an  ING form. So just remember that even if there is  

a duration to an action, but you're using a state  of verb, your only choice is the Future Simple.  

So that's just a brief overview. of the future  continuous. Future Simple to answer the question,  

why was this verb in the ing? Ultimately,  the future continuous is not the most  

common verb tense in English. So as long as  you're comfortable with the Future Simple,

you'll be fine. Are you ready for your quiz?  And here are your questions. Hit pause,  

take as much time as you need and when  you're ready, hit play to see the answers.  

How did you do with that quiz? Share your  score in the comments. And let's continue  

on to the next section. Now let's talk about the  difference between going to go and we'll be going

you could say I'm going to call him later.  Notice we have our verb TO BE are going are  

gerund with go and then we have to and a base  verb. I'm going to call him later or Okay,  

so the structure of this I just said it but to  say it again. Now that you can see it. We have our  

verb to be of course here conjugated with their  subject we have going to and then we have our base  

verb so going to and then our base verb of the  verb call. That's our structure here. Now just  

I know most students do this any way but just so  you know going to this section here, we pronounce  

it as gonna in spoken English. And that's just  a natural pronunciation change that happens.  

We don't think about it consciously. I don't  decide to say it, it just comes out naturally.  

It's just what happens with the combination of  sounds. Now we also use this in written English,  

but if you're going to use it in written English,  it has to be an informal conversation because  

technically it's slang in written English. It's  not an actual dictionary word. So if you want  

to use it in writing, definitely go ahead  but just make sure the context is informal.  

Okay, so when do we use this verb tense? I'm going  to call him later. Well, we use this to talk about  

general future intentions. You can think about  it as something that's 75% arranged. So you  

have your likelihood of doing it is very high, but  there's still a chance that you won't do it. Okay.  

So I might say, I'm going to watch a movie  tonight. But remember this is about 75%. Arrange,  

so there is still some element of it being  not a finished plan, not a finalized plan.  

So this is my plan, but maybe I haven't picked  the movie yet. I haven't decided on a time. I  

don't know where there might be some elements  that aren't definitive, but it's 75% range. So  

my plan could change like it is possible  but this is my intention for the future.  

Now, we could say, I'm going to call him tonight.  Again, this is the exact same this is my plan,  

but it could change because it's  just an intention. At this point.  

Now let's compare those. I'm going to call  him later. I'm gonna call him later to,  

I'll be calling him later. I'll be calling  him later. This is a verb tense that native  

speakers don't use very often, to be honest,  and that's the future continuous. The future  

continuous verb tense is not a very common verb  tense, but it's still a verb tense, and there's  

still a time when you need to use it. So let's  compare these two sentences. I'm going to call  

him tonight. I'll be calling him later. So this is  the future continuous the structure. We have will,  

this is our will right here. Then we have B.  Here we go. You don't need to conjugate B.  

It's just always ate. And then you take your  bird and you put it in the ing form. So here  

our verb is call, so you just put it in  the ing form. I'll be calling him later.  

Now to give you another example, I might say I'll  be watching a movie tonight. So all I have to do  

is change my verb from call to watch, and then  just add an ing so pretty easy to conjugate right.  

Because no matter what subject you use, you're  still using will as well. You'll be she'll be will  

be, right there's no difference. So it's pretty  easy for conjugation will be and then your ing.  

So when do we use this? This is used in a very  specific way. And that's why it's not the most  

common verb tense, because we only use it in one  specific way. And that's to talk about something  

happening at a specific point in the future.  Okay, that's what we use it. We don't use it  

just to talk about our plans for the future. We  have to imagine that it's the future and at that  

future moment I am doing something and then  I'm now describing what I will be doing in a  

future moment. So it's just not very common in  conversation that we talk about that right. We  

don't imagine a future moment and then tell  someone what we will be doing at that future  

moment. We more so talk about it just as our  future intentions. So that's why it's just not  

a very common verb tense. Compared to, I'm going  to oh, I'm going to do this going to do that.  

Okay, and another limitation about this  verb tense is the something, something  

that is going to happen. It has to have a duration  to it, because we can't use this verb tense with  

state of verbs. Okay? You can't use it. Whatever  you're doing there has to be a duration to your  

action. So that's another limitation of it, where  what we will be doing at a future moment it might  

not have a duration so we can't use the future  continuous. So now just you know the structure  

you know, the overall let's just look when  specifically you're going to use one or the other.

If you're talking about

plan arrangements, general future future  intentions, you're going to use be going to  

if you're talking about an action taking  place at a specific moment in the future,  

you're going to use the future continuous.  So let's look at some examples on you. glish,  

just so you can see real native speakers using  these two verb tenses in a natural context.  

So here's an example on you blush. I'll be  discussing things that I wish I knew starting  

out. Now, you only see one sentence right?  That's all you see. So I might add to this a  

specific future moment. So I might say on Monday  during the interview, all be discussing during  

tomorrow's meeting, I'll be sharing next week at  the conference all be presenting. So it's almost  

like you're projecting yourself into the future.  And you're talking about what you will be doing  

at that future time. But there has to be an  action involved that has a duration remember?  

So generally, when we use the future continuous  we do mention that time in the future because it's  

important to know that when we use the future  continuous so this can be a useful thing. When  

you use the verb tense is state that future  moment next week. When I'm on vacation, all be  

reading my favorite book, something like that.  Okay, another example. I'll be listening to you  

breathing. Now remember, like there's a comment  here, which shows that the example keeps going,  

but it will switch to a different screen, right?  So I can only have this one screenshot. But if I  

just saw this as a sentence with nothing  else, I'll be listening to breathing.  

My question would be well when when is this going  to happen? Unless it's obvious based on context,  

if it isn't obvious, you should state it if you're  using the future continuous. So maybe it will be  

once the exam starts. Because why else would  you listen to someone breathing if you're not  

doing some sort of exam or some sort of, you  know, medical exam? So once the exam starts,  

I'll be listening to your breathing. I'll be  asking you many questions. I'll be monitoring your  

heart rate. These are all the things that I'll be  doing at this future time when the exam starts.  

So let's see just some examples. We're going to  now because this is such a common verb tense,  

I'm sure you're more comfortable seeing it.  I'm going to the first thing I'm going to do  

is okay remember to be so we have I am to  be going to and then our base verb is do.  

So this one's pretty easy. It's just a general  future intention. That's it pretty easy.  

Or here's another one. I'm going to marry who I'm  going to marry. So we're just talking about again,  

a general future intention. Here our base  for is married to marry and that because  

our subject is i We have to save auxiliary verb  with our birth to be am I am I'm going to marry  

who I'm gonna marry who I'm going to marry.  So let's just see these two side by side so  

you can understand the difference between them.  So I might say, I'm going to propose to Sarah,  

I'm using this example because this one he's  talking about who he's going to marry. So I have  

marriage on the brain. I'm going to propose to  Sarah. So imagine I just share this with a friend  

I'm going to propose to Sarah. I'm just sharing  this is my general future intention. Remember,  

it's only about 75% arranged so maybe at this  exact moment. I don't know exactly when I haven't  

picked the date or the restaurant. I'm going to  take her to or anything like that. But in my mind,  

I'm like, this is gonna happen. 75% I'm,  I'm committed, maybe not 100% But I'm, like,  

more committed than I'm not committed to proposing  to Sarah. I'm going to propose to Sarah so general  

future intention. Now, I might talk about a future  moment. I'm going to put myself in the future

and say, I'll be getting  married on Saturday at two

o'clock PM. Okay, so putting myself  out future timeline it's Saturday,  

two o'clock PM, what will you be doing? So,  that's the thing. This is why it's not that  

common because who comes up to you and says  on Saturday at 2pm? What will you be doing?  

This is not that common, right? But it is common  when we talk about goal setting. You know,  

when you're thinking about your goals for  the future, you might ask yourself, Okay,  

this time next year, what will I be doing?  I'll be x, y, z. So when you're goal setting,  

things like that it is quite common to use the  future continuous, but in an everyday context,  

it isn't that common to project yourself  into the future. And imagine this action  

taking place is more common. Just talk about your  general future intention. So hopefully this helps  

seeing two examples side by side. And if anyone  has any questions, let me know. Are you ready

for your quiz? Here are your questions hit pause,  

take as much time as you need and when  you're ready, hit play to see the answers.

How did you do with that quiz? Share your score  in the comments. And let's continue on to the  

next section. Now let's talk about how to use the  sentence structure to get us to now as you may  

know, right now, I'm in Colombia. Actually, right  now I'm in this city called Medellin, Colombia.  

And because I'm in a new city there's many  things that I need to get used to. For example,  

I mean to get used to speaking in Spanish, that's  the obvious one, right when you're in a new city,  

they don't speak your native language. You have to  get used to the language that the city use it. And  

for me in Colombia, of course, that's Spanish. So  notice how I just use that expression. I have to  

get used to speaking in Spanish. I also use that  as a noun form. I have to get used to the language  

that they speak in the country you're in. Okay. So  just based on your understanding of the context,  

I'm in a foreign city, they don't speak my native  language Spanish isn't my native language. I'm  

not comfortable in Spanish. What do you think, to  get use to means a lot of times you can understand  

the overall idea just based on context? Well,  to get used to something is when you go from a  

feeling of discomfort to a feeling of comfort  with something new in your routine. Okay,  

so you're going to use this expression. Anytime  you start something new. It could be a new job,  

a new hobby, a new activity, a new relationship.  It could be living in a new city. It could be  

simply driving a new car, anything that's new,  you have to get used to it. There's going to  

be a period of time when whatever that new  thing is, doesn't feel comfortable. The only  

reason why it doesn't feel comfortable is simply  because it's a new part of your routine. Okay,  

so we used to get used to to go from discomfort  to concur, and how do you get used to something?  

How would I get used to speaking in Spanish?  What do you think? Honestly, how do you think  

I could get used to speaking in Spanish? Well put  it in the comments if you have an idea. Of course,  

if by speaking in Spanish that's the only way I'm  gonna get used to it is going out to a restaurant  

ordering a meal in Spanish doing it five days in  a row and guess what? The first day is going to  

be really awkward, really uncomfortable, and then  I'm going to get more and more comfortable. And  

by the fifth day, I'm going to feel a lot more  comfortable with that simply because I've done  

it five days in a row. Right? I'm getting used to  it. So notice the verb tense there on getting used  

to it, because that's in progress. I'm moving  from discomfort to comfort as we speak. Now,  

you've already heard lots of examples naturally,  but let's just focus in on the sentence structure.  

So the expression is to get use to okay the to  belongs to the expression to get use to. And  

then to complete the sentence. You need either  a gerund verb, so that's your verb in ING form,  

okay to get used to speaking in Spanish,  or you can have a now to get used to plus  

something plus a noun. So to get used to Spanish  Spanish is a something it's a now I need to get  

used to Spanish. I need to get used to speaking  Spanish. Now notice the both of these sentence  

structures I use an additional verb I need to  I have to I should I'm trying to we will need  

something before it in this specific sentence.  Now in the Present Continuous you can use get  

used to as your main verb you can say right  now I'm getting used to speaking in Spanish.  

So remember, we use this expression when anything  is new in your routine. So let's imagine that  

you started a new job. Okay, what do you think  you would need to get used to? So a feeling of  

discomfort and go to a feeling of comfort? What do  you think you will need to get used to give me an  

example man sure if it's a verb, it's a gerund and  you can use a noun as well. So give me an example  

and put it in the comments below. Take your time.  Pause the video if you need. What would you need  

to get used to when you start a new job? Well, you  would have to get used to notice I think you would  

have to get used to because it's a hypothetical  situation. You'd have to get used to your boss. So  

that's a someone, you'd have to get used to your  boss. You'd have to get used to your colleague,  

you'd have to get used to the policies of that  organization. You'd have to get used to getting  

to work so maybe you have to take a different  route or maybe you have to take the train instead  

of your car. So you have to get used to that  new method of transportation. What else you  

have to get used to the hours maybe the hours are  different. You have to get used to your tasks. So  

maybe one of your task is editing videos, because  that's what I'm going to do with this video. Okay,  

so your new task is editing videos. You've  never done it before. Or maybe you're just  

not comfortable with the software that they use  at this new job. So you'd have to get used to  

the editing software, you'd have to get used to  editing videos, that's your verb and ing. You'd  

have to get used to the process that they use  for editing videos. So there's so many things  

you'd have to get used to when you start something  new so let's have some fun with this. You heard  

lots of examples using this on a natural page.  Hopefully you understand that sentence structure  

by now if not go back and review it. But let's  practice this. So I want you to identify a new  

activity. Remember it could be anything new. Maybe  you joined a new book club or you joined a new  

gym, or you bought a new car and there's something  you have to get used to there or you're in a new  

relationship or you joined a new class it could be  anything so it can be small events. In addition to  

major events like moving to a new city or starting  a new job. Those are major events moving to a  

new house for sure, but minor events can you can  definitely use this expression as well. So choose  

an event and then write at least one thing using  the gerund form and one thing using the noun form  

that you need to get used to. Are you ready for  your quiz? Here are your questions. Hit pause,  

take as much time as you need and when  you're ready, hit play to see the answers.

And finally, your last section let's talk about  how to use the structure go clause Geron verb. Now  

this is a sentence structure that we use in very  specific situations. And that one situation is  

when we're talking about an activity that involves  physical movement. So a lot of these are just  

the physical activities that you do have leisure  activities. Now when we talk about these we don't  

follow our basic English sentence structure which  is subject plus verb plus infinitive, which is two  

and verb. So for example, I don't say I go to hike  every Sunday, go is our verb. And in the regular  

sentence structure, the following verb would be  in the infinitive, which is what you see here, but  

this is incorrect. We need our gerund verb which  is simply a verb with ing. This is an alternative  

sentence structure and E regular sentence  structure that we only use in specific cases with  

verbs of physical activity and movement is one of  those cases. So I need to say I go hiking, I take  

my verb hike, and I simply put it in the gerund  form with ing. I go hiking every Sunday that the  

correct sentence structure so just remember that  this sentence structure is subject plus go plus  

gerund plus verb and ing. Now remember that Go  is our active for and we're going to conjugate it  

according to the subject and that high reference.  So when I say I go hiking every Sunday, that's my  

verb to go in the present simple conjugated with  the subject I because I'm talking about a routine.  

But let's say my time reference is yesterday. It  would be yesterday I went hiking. So remember,  

our active verb Go is the one that's going to  change and be conjugated with this subject and  

time reference. But the following verb the gerund  verb doesn't change. It's going to stay in that  

gerund form. Yesterday, I went hiking. Now I could  change my subject and change my time reference and  

I could say today, but as a future event today,  she's going hiking. So here my verb Go is in  

the present continuous and is conjugated with the  subject. She was still hiking doesn't change. So  

remember that it doesn't matter what your subject  is, or your time references. Uber go is going to  

be conjugated, but the verb in gerund form your  physical activity is not going to change. Now,  

you're probably wondering what activities can I  use this structure with? So I'm going to give you  

a list of the most common This isn't an exhaustive  list. There may be others not on this list. So if  

you can think of one that isn't on this list,  put it in the comments. So let's review this  

list together. Running jogging, hiking, camping,  canoeing, kayaking, diving, boating, shopping,  

snowboarding, skiing, climbing, fishing, surfing,  horseback riding. There the verb is riding  

horseback just describes what type of riding but  our verb is riding, horseback riding and dancing.  

Again, there may be other verbs of movement and  physical activity that aren't on this list. If  

you can think of any please put them in  the comments below. Now before you go,  

let's look at one EDD fast change to this sentence  structure. Okay, once we got this sentence,  

I could say I enjoy going hiking. Huh? What  is going on here? Now you see two Gerrans,  

the verb Go is in the gerund form verb ing. And  then hiking our activity is in the gerund form.  

So always remember that the verb Go needs to be  conjugated according to the sentence structure.  

Okay? So here I have, I enjoy. Now enjoy is a  verb, but not just any verb. It's a gerund verb,  

which means the verb that comes next. In this  case, go that's the verb that comes next. It  

needs to be conjugated in the gerund or so when  you look at this sentence, we have to Gerrans go  

is in the gerund form. Because it follows the  verb enjoy, which is a gerund for. Hiking is  

in the gerund form because it follows the verb Go  and in the context of go plus physical activity,  

that verb of physical activity is in the Jaren  bore. So as you become more advanced with English,  

you'll need to identify what's going on in a  sentence. If this example is too advanced for you,  

that's okay. You can just focus on the information  I said before and just forget about this one. But  

if you are at that level, where you're nodding  your head and you understand me, that's awesome.  

It shows you have an advanced understanding of  English grammar, and sentence structure. And if  

you're not there yet, don't worry you will be one  day so now you have everything you need to talk  

about verbs of physical activity and movement.  It's your turn to practice. I want you to leave  

three example sentences. Now, all three examples  have to use different verbs of activity for  

physical activity movement, different subjects and  different time references as well. So I want you  

to get comfortable conjugating the verb with the  subject and time reference. So put those examples  

in the comments. I can't wait to read them. Are  you ready for your quiz? Here are your questions.
