Welcome back to JForrest English, of course.

I'm Jennifer.

00:12
Now let's get started first in this master class, let's focus on your listening skills
4
12520
5470
00:17
so you can understand native English speakers quickly and easily the first time.
5

00:24
Here's how this lesson will work.
6
24720
1510
00:26
I'm going to say a sentence at a fast-paced 3 times, and you need to write down exactly
7
26230
6790
00:33
what you hear in the comments.
8
33020
2630
00:35
Are you ready?
9
35650
1200
00:36
Let's start your first listening exercise.
10
36850
2240
00:39
I'll say it three times.
11
39090
1940
00:41
I'm a little rusty.
12
41030
2470
00:43
I'm a little rusty.
13
43500
2470
00:45
I'm a little rusty.
14
45970
2520
00:48
Did you get this one?
15
48490
1450
00:49
I said I'm a little rusty.
16
49940
3139
00:53
Now notice here I'm using a contraction.
17
53079
2601
00:55
I'm this is I am, I'm.
18
55680
3370
00:59
Now let's talk about a little.
19
59050
2340
01:01
Notice I didn't pronounce those T's.
20
61390
3080
01:04
I pronounce them as soft D's.
21
64470
2829
01:07
A little, little the the little.
22
67299
4070
01:11
And I connected them together a little, a little.
23
71369
3750
01:15
Now, sometimes native speakers will completely drop those T's and they won't pronounce it
24
75119
6210
01:21
at all, and it will sound sound like Lil Lil.
25
81329
3821
01:25
And then again, you connect it with the ah, a little, a little a little rusty, a little
26
85150
5750
01:30
rusty, a little rusty.
27
90900
1990
01:32
Now, what does it mean to be a little rusty?
28
92890
5180
01:38
Rusty is an adjective.
29
98070
2189
01:40
So for sentence structure, you need to use the verb to be to be rusty.
30
100259
4720
01:44
I'm a little rusty.
31
104979
2151
01:47
She's a little rusty.
32
107130
2160
01:49
This is when a skill or an ability isn't as good as it used to be.
33
109290
7440
01:56
Why?
34
116730
1110
01:57
Because of lack of practice.
35
117840
3260
02:01
So pay attention, English learners, because you don't want to say I'm a little rusty with
36
121100
5720
02:06
my English.
37
126820
1100
02:07
You don't want to say that.
38
127920
2360
02:10
You definitely don't want to say.
39
130280
1900
02:12
I haven't watched AJ Force English lesson in months, so my English is a little rusty.
40
132180
8870
02:21
That doesn't describe you right, so put in the comments.
41
141050
3850
02:24
I'm not rusty.
42
144900
1510
02:26
I'm not rusty because you're watching this lesson right now.
43
146410
4049
02:30
You're practicing your English, which means you're not rusty.
44
150459
3810
02:34
I'm not rusty.
45
154269
1171
02:35
Put it in the comments.
46
155440
1650
02:37
You can use this with any skill or ability.
47
157090
3890
02:40
It's commonly used with sports.
48
160980
2820
02:43
Let's say you play tennis.
49
163800
1730
02:45
But it's winter right now, so you can't play tennis because it's winter.
50
165530
5710
02:51
You might say I haven't played tennis in six months, so I'm very rusty.
51
171240
7600
02:58
So notice in this sentence I said I'm very rusty.
52
178840
4759
03:03
You could also talk about this specific skill or ability.
53
183599
3700
03:07
You could say my serve, my tennis serve, my serve is very rusty.
54
187299
5871
03:13
Well, my Latin's a little rusty.
55
193170
2290
03:15
You're pretty rusty.
56
195460
2300
03:17
I'm very rusty.
57
197760
1309
03:19
Let's try this again.
58
199069
1041
03:20
I'll say it three times.
59
200110
3099
03:23
We tweaked the plan.
60
203209
2191
03:25
We tweaked the plan.
61
205400
2280
03:27
We tweaked the plan.
62
207680
2790
03:30
Did you get this one?
63
210470
1330
03:31
I said we tweaked the plan.
64
211800
3519
03:35
Now notice the pronunciation of tweak.
65
215319
3890
03:39
This is in the past simple, so it's an Ed verb.
66
219209
3750
03:42
But because the verb ends on a, we need a soft T so it's not tweaked.
67
222959
7321
03:50
That's incorrect.
68
230280
1459
03:51
Is tweaked, tweaked.
69
231739
3220
03:54
But when you use this in a sentence and there are words after, you're going to drop that
70
234959
6271
04:01
T sound entirely.
71
241230
2160
04:03
So notice how tweaked the sounds in this sentence.
72
243390
4280
04:07
We tweak the plan.
73
247670
1800
04:09
It just sounds like the present simple tweak.
74
249470
2379
04:11
It's the context that will make it obvious that I'm talking about a past action, not
75
251849
6432
04:18
the pronunciation.
76
258281
1000
04:19
What does it mean to tweak something?
77
259281
3319
04:22
When you tweak something, you change it slightly.
78
262600
3520
04:26
So just a little.
79
266120
1930
04:28
And you do that to make it more correct or more effective.
80
268050
3960
04:32
Uncle Jim's tweaking the Five things plan.
81
272010
2610
04:34
So let's say your friend or Co worker wants you to review a speech they wrote, and you
82
274620
6450
04:41
really like it, but you don't like the conclusion.
83
281070
4230
04:45
You might say your speech is great, but I'd tweak the conclusion if I were you.
84
285300
6880
04:52
So you're suggesting that they make a slight change, a small change to the conclusion to
85
292180
5640
04:57
make it better, more effective.
86
297820
2720
05:00
I do have one small tweak.
87
300540
1640
05:02
Sorry, you have a tweak.
88
302180
1130
05:03
Now we also use this to make the changes that we've made sound less significant, so to sound
89
303310
7979
05:11
small.
90
311289
1000
05:12
So if someone gets upset because you changed their speech or presentation or plan, you
91
312289
6391
05:18
can say, Oh no, no, I didn't change it.
92
318680
3360
05:22
I I just tweaked it, which means you did change it, but you only did it slightly a very small
93
322040
6870
05:28
amount.
94
328910
1000
05:29
I just tweaked it and we tweaked it.
95
329910
4360
05:34

96
334270

103
366510
4400
06:10
Now let's continue with our lesson.
104
370910
2610
06:13
Let's try this again.
105
373520
1000
06:14
I'll say it three times.
106
374520
2810
06:17
Keep an eye out for him.
107
377330
2250
06:19
Keep an eye out for him.
108
379580
2209
06:21
Keep an eye out for him.
109
381789
2371
06:24
Did you hear what I said?
110
384160
1620
06:25
I said keep an eye out for him.
111
385780
3310
06:29
Now let's talk about an I out, because native speakers will combine all these sounds together
112
389090
7690
06:36
so it sounds like one an IO and IO.
113
396780
3470
06:40
And notice that I didn't say for him.
114
400250
3539
06:43
I dropped that H sound on him and it sounded like M for M forum and then it also sounds
115
403789
8220
06:52
like one word.
116
412009
1481
06:53
Keep an eye out forum.
117
413490
1049
06:54
Let's take a look at the grammar.
118
414539
2241
06:56
Because notice keep, this is the base verb, so that means it's the imperative verb tense.
119
416780
8000
07:04
And I'm using this because I'm giving an order or a command.
120
424780
4789
07:09
Keep an eye out for him.
121
429569
1331
07:10
I'm not asking, I'm telling just keep an eye out.
122
430900
4729
07:15
This is an expression and it means that you watch carefully for someone or something.
123
435629
6781
07:22
So let's say you're driving along and you have car troubles.
124
442410
4810
07:27
Maybe you get a flat tire, so you have to pull to the side of the road.
125
447220
4379
07:31
Now while you're trying to fix the car, maybe you tell your friend keep an eye out for other
126
451599
7220
07:38
cars, so watch carefully for other cars so you can say help help, we need help.
127
458819
6231
07:45
Or you might say keep an eye out for snakes, because maybe you're in the desert.
128
465050
4780
07:49
Don't keep an eye out.
129
469830
1950
07:51
We use this a lot in the workplace.
130
471780
3150
07:54
Let's say you're expecting a delivery but you have to leave to go to a meeting.
131
474930
5669
08:00
You might say to your Co worker, I'm going to a meeting.
132
480599
4281
08:04
Can you keep an eye out for the delivery?
133
484880
2750
08:07
So you're asking your Co worker to watch for the delivery, but watch carefully, you know,
134
487630
5930
08:13
keep an eye out.
135
493560
1490
08:15
Let's try this one more time.
136
495050
1450
08:16
I'll say it three times.
137
496500
1509
08:18
Can you show her the ropes?
138
498009
3750
08:21
Can you show her the ropes?
139
501759
2451
08:24
Can you show her the ropes?
140
504210
2620
08:26
Do you know what I said?
141
506830
1290
08:28
I said, can you show her the ropes?
142
508120
4070
08:32
Now notice can because this is an auxiliary verb, it's not the main verb.
143
512190
6950
08:39
It's pronounced as kin kin.
144
519140
2670
08:41
It's an unstressed sound.
145
521810
1680
08:43
Kin.
146
523490
1000
08:44
Can you show?
147
524490
1000
08:45
Because show is the main verb.
148
525490
1700
08:47
Can you show her now?
149
527190
2050
08:49
Here her same thing.
150
529240
1850
08:51
We can drop that age and it will sound like, ER, can you show her?
151
531090
5290
08:56
I'm happy to show her the ropes.
152
536380
1780
08:58
When you show someone the ropes and notice ropes is always plural when you show someone
153
538160
6739
09:04
the ropes.
154
544899
1000
09:05
This is an expression, and we use it when you show someone how to do a job or an activity
155
545899
7661
09:13
or a task.
156
553560
1580
09:15
So if there's a new employee or a new member on your team, your boss might ask you can
157
555140
7670
09:22
you show her the ropes?
158
562810
1300
09:24
And you can say I'm happy to show her the ropes, and if you're the new employee receiving
159
564110
6969
09:31
the training after, you can say thanks so much for showing me the ropes like no one
160
571079
7570
09:38
showed me the ropes.
161
578649
1231
09:39
Don't worry.
162
579880
1000
09:40
We showed her the ropes.
163
580880
1000
09:41
Then Dr.
164
581880
1000
09:42
Yang is showing him the ropes.
165
582880
1000
09:43
Now let's do an imitation exercise so you can practice your pronunciation.
166
583880
5190
09:49
I'm going to say each sentence three times, and I want you to repeat read each sentence
167
589070
6480
09:55
out loud.
168
595550
1190
09:56
I'm a little rusty.
169
596740
2779
09:59
I'm a little rusty.
170
599519
2801
10:02
I'm a little rusty.
171
602320
2980
10:05
We tweak the plan.
172
605300
2909
10:08
We tweak the plan.
173
608209
2931
10:11
We tweak the plan.
174
611140
3040
10:14
Keep an eye out for him.
175
614180
3580
10:17
Keep an eye out for him.
176
617760
3590
10:21
Keep an eye out for him.
177
621350
2120
10:23
Can you show her the ropes?
178
623470
4210
10:27
Can you show her the ropes?
179
627680
1720
10:29
Can you show her the ropes?
180
629400
2869
10:32
Amazing job improving your listening skills now.
181
632269
4511
10:36
Understanding the expressions that native speakers use is one of the best ways to improve
182
636780
6249
10:43
your listening skills.
183
643029
1631
10:44
So that's what we'll do.
184
644660
1220
10:45
Right now, I'm going to share 19 expressions that I use every single day.
185
645880
6030
10:51
Some of these expressions I use multiple times a day, so if you learn them, you'll be able
186
651910
5980
10:57
to understand native speakers better and you'll sound more fluent and natural.
187
657890
3740
11:01
So let's learn those expressions.
188
661630
2230
11:03
Now.
189
663860
1000
11:04
In this lesson, I'm going to explain each expression and then I'll give you an example
190
664860
5590
11:10
sentence so you know how to use it in your speech.
191
670450
3530
11:13
Sound good?
192
673980
1000
11:14
And I just use expression #1.
193
674980
1859
11:16
Did you hear it?
194
676839
1541
11:18
I said sound good, Sound good with a question is the short form of does that sound good
195
678380
9829
11:28
to you?
196
688209
1000
11:29
So native speakers just take the sound good but you have to add a rising intonation to
197
689209
5630
11:34
show it's a question sound good and this is used to get confirmation or approval when
198
694839
6321
11:41
you share a plan or idea.
199
701160
2300
11:43
Sound good?
200
703460
1390
11:44
And if I ask you sound good, how are you going to reply?
201
704850
5929
11:50
Sounds good, Sounds good is the short form of that sounds good to me.
202
710779
7921
11:58
Now notice here you need the S on the verb because it's in the present simple.
203
718700
6380
12:05
That sounds good.
204
725080
1560
12:06
So sounds good is the short form, and this is used to confirm that you agree with someone's
205
726640
6260
12:12
plan or idea.
206
732900
1860
12:14
So let's practice this.
207
734760
1590
12:16
I'm going to start making more lessons for you.
208
736350
3850
12:20
Sound good?
209
740200
1460
12:21
Sounds good.
210
741660
2180
12:23
Sounds great.
211
743840
1000
12:24
Sounds amazing.
212
744840
1000
12:25
Sound good?
213
745840
1820
12:27
Sounds great.
214
747660
1000
12:28
So if you want me to keep making more lessons for you, put sounds amazing, sounds amazing,
215
748660
6470
12:35
put that in the comments.
216
755130
2139
12:37
Our next expression will do.
217
757269
2851
12:40
I use this absolutely every single day.
218
760120
4459
12:44
So let's say someone asks you to do something.
219
764579
3320
12:47
Can you send the invoice to the client to confirm that you will do this?
220
767899
6581
12:54
You simply say will do.
221
774480
2979
12:57
So don't say I will do it because a native speaker wouldn't say that.
222
777459
5930
13:03
We just say will do.
223
783389
2231
13:05
So let's practice this one.
224
785620
1880
13:07
Can you do me a favor and like this video?
225
787500
3570
13:11
Share with your friends and subscribe because it really helps support my channel and you
226
791070
5340
13:16
can reply back and say will do, will do.
227
796410
4100
13:20
Jennifer, how's it going?
228
800510
1820
13:22
This is our next expression and I use it every single day, multiple times a day.
229
802330
5960
13:28
Of course you can say how are you.
230
808290
2609
13:30
This is used in more impersonal situations like if you're at the grocery store, you can
231
810899
6462
13:37
also say how are you doing.
232
817361
3699
13:41
This emphasizes right now, how are you doing right now.
233
821060
5100
13:46
My favorite is How's it Going?
234
826160
2630
13:48
Which is more general.
235
828790
1940
13:50
It's casual but very natural.
236
830730
2599
13:53
And as a bonus to reply, remember you need to say it's it's going good.
237
833329
6000
13:59
Great, amazing, awesome.
238
839329
2010
14:01
How's it going?
239
841339
2011
14:03
Great.
240
843350
1000
14:04
Our next expression is what's going on with something, What's going on with the project,
241
844350
7169
14:11
the deadline, the proposal a something?
242
851519
3211
14:14
And this is used to inquire about the status of something.
243
854730
5060
14:19
But you can also use this with people.
244
859790
3590
14:23
What's going on with Janice?
245
863380
2579
14:25
She seems upset.
246
865959
1891
14:27
So you're inquiring into the current status of Janice.
247
867850
5000
14:32
Are you enjoying this lesson?
248
872850

906709
2781
15:09
Now let's continue with our lesson, our next expression, keep me in the loop.
256
909490
7380
15:16
I love this one.
257
916870
1000
15:17
Use it every day.
258
917870
1280
15:19
So let's say your colleagues are working on a project and they share with you that they're
259
919150
6890
15:26
getting proposals from the vendors.
260
926040
2750
15:28
Today you can reply back and say, great, keep me in the loop and this is used to request
261
928790
6270
15:35
that new information or updates are shared with you as they happen.
262
935060
7209
15:42
As a full sentence, you can say keep me in the loop on the proposals.
263
942269
5391
15:47
So you're requesting that as soon as information is available about the proposals, that information
264
947660
6400
15:54
will be shared with you.
265
954060
2130
15:56
So if I request that you keep me in the loop and you want to confirm that you will do it,
266
956190
6759
16:02
what would you say those two words will do?
267
962949
3760
16:06
Keep me in the loop, will do our next expression Just following up, just following up so I
268
966709
7110
16:13
could send an e-mail to one of my colleagues and say just following up on the project proposals.
269
973819
7311
16:21
Have you heard anything from the vendors?
270
981130
2389
16:23
The expression just following up is used when you continue a previous conversation.
271
983519
8051
16:31
Because remember I already talked to my colleagues about the vendors.
272
991570
4910
16:36
I asked them to keep me in the loop but I haven't heard anything and it's been hours
273
996480
6229
16:42
or days.
274
1002709
1171
16:43
So I'm going to send a message and say just following up.
275
1003880
3860
16:47
Our next expression is an acronym ASAP which stands for as soon as possible.
276
1007740
7019
16:54
For pronunciation you can say ASAP or ASAP, ASAP, ASAP.
277
1014759
6901
17:01
Both of them are very commonly used.
278
1021660
2360
17:04
We use this in both both requests.
279
1024020
3300
17:07
Can you get me that information ASAP and we use it to confirm a task.
280
1027320
6450
17:13
I'll get that to you ASAPASAP ASAP.
281
1033770
4560
17:18
Gotcha.
282
1038330
1550
17:19
Our next expression is no rush.
283
1039880
3169
17:23
This is the short form of There's no rush, and this is used to say.
284
1043049
5491
17:28
That a request isn't urgent.
285
1048540
2590
17:31
If you got a text from someone that said call me ASAP, you would assume that's urgent.
286
1051130
8980
17:40
You might even think that something is wrong.
287
1060110
3030
17:43
Something happened.
288
1063140
1570
17:44
But if you got a text that said call me when you can, no rush.
289
1064710
4990
17:49
You would know that there is no urgency.
290
1069700
2740
17:52
No rush.
291
1072440
1580
17:54
Let's talk about the expression.
292
1074020
1550
17:55
No worries, no worries.
293
1075570
2150
17:57
I use this one probably five times or more every single day.
294
1077720
4930
18:02
No worries.
295
1082650
1800
18:04
Maybe you got a text from your colleague that says I'm sorry I didn't follow up sooner.
296
1084450
7910
18:12
Remember our expression to follow up.
297
1092360
2500
18:14
I'm sorry I didn't follow up sooner and you can reply back and say no worries.
298
1094860
4990
18:19
This is used to say that you're not upset about something.
299
1099850
5660
18:25
No worries.
300
1105510
1140
18:26
We also use this in situations like when you bump into someone when you're walking down
301
1106650
6529
18:33
the street, or if you're at the grocery store and you accidentally bump into someone with
302
1113179
5081
18:38
your shopping cart and you say oh sorry, and then they can say no worries to let you know
303
1118260
6100
18:44
they're not upset.
304
1124360
1689
18:46
Now let's talk about oh, really, really.
305
1126049
3541
18:49
I use this one so much.
306
1129590
2390
18:51
Really.
307
1131980
1000
18:52
Your friend could share some exciting news and say I'm taking three weeks off to volunteer
308
1132980
6250
18:59
with elephants And you can reply back and say, really, really.
309
1139230
5189
19:04
This is used to acknowledge news that someone shared, but in a surprising way.
310
1144419
6331
19:10
Notice there's surprise in my voice.
311
1150750
1710
19:12
Oh, really?
312
1152460
1000
19:13
You are.
313
1153460
1000
19:14
You're taking three weeks off to volunteer with elephants.
314
1154460
3959
19:18
Wow.
315
1158419
1000
19:19
Now let's talk about.
316
1159419
1000
19:20
Good to know.
317
1160419
1271
19:21
So your friend can say I'll be volunteering for three weeks, but I'll still call you every
318
1161690
6700
19:28
day.
319
1168390
1000
19:29
And then you can say good to know, Good to know.
320
1169390
3600
19:32
This is used to acknowledge news that someone shared in a positive way.
321
1172990
5360
19:38
So maybe you know the area where your friend will be volunteering and you let them know
322
1178350
5300
19:43
that there's an amazing waterfall nearby and they should visit it.
323
1183650
5280
19:48
They can reply back and say good to know, good to know, heads up, Gina isn't coming
324
1188930
6480
19:55
to the party.
325
1195410
1060
19:56
Our next expression is heads up.
326
1196470
2800
19:59
This is used to give advanced warning of something.
327
1199270
3460
20:02
So I'm telling you before the party starts that Gina won't be there and this is important
328
1202730
6189
20:08
information for you.
329
1208919
1411
20:10
For some reason we use this a lot in a business context.
330
1210330
5060
20:15
For example, just a heads up, I followed up with Leo.
331
1215390
4890
20:20
He'll get us the proposal ASAP.
332
1220280
2950
20:23
So notice just a is optional.
333
1223230
3160
20:26
You can say just a heads up or simply heads up.
334
1226390
3660
20:30
I personally use both probably equally, and the person can reply to the message and say
335
1230050
6230
20:36
good to know our next expression.
336
1236280
2680
20:38
Hopefully you don't need to use this one too much.
337
1238960
3670
20:42
I'm running late.
338
1242630
1820
20:44
I'm running late.
339
1244450
2030
20:46
This is how a native speaker would say that they're going to be late.
340
1246480
4960
20:51
They're going to arrive after the time they said they would arrive.
341
1251440
4910
20:56
I'm running late.
342
1256350
2110
20:58
So you might send a message to your colleague and say heads up, advance warning heads up,
343
1258460
7440
21:05
I'm running late.
344
1265900
1890
21:07
Start the meeting without me and your Co worker could text back and say will do this next
345
1267790
6430
21:14
expression.
346
1274220
1000
21:15
I ask my husband every single morning.
347
1275220
2900
21:18
I say what do you have on the go today?
348
1278120
2780
21:20
This is an alternative to what are you doing today?
349
1280900
4509
21:25
And native speakers love using it.
350
1285409
2331
21:27
What do you have on the go today?
351
1287740
1600
21:29
Now, to reply, Kevin will simply tell me what he's doing, so he'll use the present continuous.
352
1289340
6900
21:36
I'm finalizing the proposal and this afternoon I'm following up with some leads.
353
1296240
6230
21:42
I love this next one, Let's catch up.
354
1302470
3360
21:45
Let's catch up.
355
1305830
1000
21:46
And I love this because it's so fun catching up with people, at least in my opinion.
356
1306830
4380
21:51
Generally, I use this as a short text and I might say, hey let's catch soon.
357
1311210
5870
21:57
And we use this to say that you want to plan a social outing.
358
1317080
5320
22:02
Not professionally, but a social outing to learn what the person has been doing since
359
1322400
6379
22:08
the last time you saw them or spoke to them.
360
1328779
3421
22:12
So if my friend has been volunteering on an elephant farm for three weeks, I could send
361
1332200
6030
22:18
her a message and say let's catch up when you're back from volunteering.
362
1338230
4650
22:22
I can't wait to hear all about it.
363
1342880
3500
22:26
Our next expression is are you free?
364
1346380
2779
22:29
But you need to complete the sentence.
365
1349159
2921
22:32
So remember in the last example I said let's catch up when you're back from volunteering.
366
1352080
6920
22:39
Then I can add, are you free on Saturday?
367
1359000
4230
22:43
So on a specific day, Are you free on Saturday?
368
1363230
3110
22:46
So this expression is used to ask if someone is available to do something specific.
369
1366340
5740
22:52
Are you free to catch up this weekend?
370
1372080
2719
22:54
Are you free to chat?
371
1374799
1601
22:56
This next one will definitely make you sound like a native speaker.
372
1376400
4770
23:01
Are you good too?
373
1381170
2100
23:03
Are you good to meet up for?
374
1383270
2200
23:05
This is how a native speaker would get confirmation if someone is available to do something specific.
375
1385470
6580
23:12
Now I could also ask one of my colleagues, are you good to lead the presentation?
376
1392050
4940
23:16
And in this sense, I could also be asking if they feel capable of doing something specific.
377
1396990
7650
23:24
So maybe this colleague is relatively new, or maybe they've never given a presentation
378
1404640
7220
23:31
before, so I want to confirm that they feel capable.
379
1411860
4199
23:36
Are you good to lead the presentation?
380
1416059
2661
23:38
Your colleague could reply back and say, oh, don't worry, I'm good to go, I'm good to go.
381
1418720
5230
23:43
That's a bonus expression for you.
382
1423950
2530
23:46
And finally, one that I use all the time in the comments, and one that I hear a lot of
383
1426480
6610
23:53
students try to use but use it incorrectly, is simply you rock.
384
1433090
6459
23:59
You rock.
385
1439549
1151
24:00
In the comments you might see me say great example, you rock.
386
1440700
6270
24:06
So I'm simply telling you that you did a great job.
387
1446970
3350
24:10
I could also say thanks so much for helping me, you rock.
388
1450320
5250
24:15
So in this case it's used as a casual way to show appreciation or to praise someone.
389
1455570
7660
24:23
The mistake I see with my students is they write you are rock, you are rock, But that's
390
1463230
7720
24:30
not the expression.
391
1470950
1390
24:32
It's you rock because this is a verb to rock.
392
1472340
5089
24:37
You rock.
393
1477429
1000
24:38
You rock Glen, you rock Darcy.
394
1478429
3630
24:42
Now, because this is a verb, you can conjugate it, and it's very common to say you rocked
395
1482059
6961
24:49
in the past.
396
1489020
1000
24:50
Simple, You rocked the presentation, which means you did a great job with the presentation,
397
1490020
6480
24:56
but you rocked it.
398
1496500
1850
24:58
You are doing such an amazing job.
399
1498350
2480
25:00
Now let's continue on and focus on some very specific grammar mistakes that I see students
400
1500830
7800
25:08
make again and again and again.
401
1508630
2909
25:11
So you'll fix these common mistakes so you sound more fluent and professional in English.
402
1511539
5620
25:17
So let's review those mistakes.
403
1517159
2390
25:19
Now this sentence has one mistake in it.
404
1519549
4351
25:23
Feel free to hit pause, review the sentence, and try to identify the mistake.
405
1523900
5749
25:29
Now these are real sentences by real students of mine in the finely fluent Academy.
406
1529649
7591
25:37
I review example sentences from my students every single day, and these are the mistakes
407
1537240
7020
25:44
that they commonly make that we're correcting in this lesson.
408
1544260
4240
25:48
So do you know what this mistake is?
409
1548500
2290
25:50
The mistake is with track record.
410
1550790
3910
25:54
Now we have one of one of the best track record.
411
1554700
5280
25:59
So.
412
1559980
1000
26:00
One of suggests that there's more than one, so the noun needs to be plural.
413
1560980
6350
26:07
The correct sentence is.
414
1567330
2390
26:09
This machine has one of the best track records in its group.
415
1569720
5690
26:15
Our next sentence, Your assignment was late.
416
1575410
4270
26:19
Please explain why you failed to do.
417
1579680
3540
26:23
What's the mistake?
418
1583220
1920
26:25
The mistake is leaving out the object you need to say.
419
1585140
6190
26:31
Please explain why you failed to do it and it represents the assignment which was already
420
1591330
7080
26:38
said.
421
1598410
1000
26:39
Now, even though it's obvious you're talking about the assignment, you need an object here.
422
1599410
7040
26:46
Grammatically.
423
1606450
1209
26:47
Our next sentence, being a great communicator in all situations, set you up for success.
424
1607659
8611
26:56
What's the mistake here?
425
1616270
2909
26:59
It's set you U.
426
1619179
2661
27:01
This is the wrong verb conjugation, because we have this gerund expression being a great
427
1621840
7449
27:09
communicator in all situations.
428
1629289
3321
27:12
Now students will often look at that in all situations, and they think that's what you
429
1632610
5160
27:17
need to conjugate the verb with.
430
1637770
2240
27:20
But it's not.
431
1640010
1490
27:21
It's the gerund expression which is being a great communicator in all situations.
432
1641500
5780
27:27
And all of this is the subject it.
433
1647280
4499
27:31
If you had to choose a subject for it, it would be the subject it or this.
434
1651779
5831
27:37
This sets you up for success.
435
1657610
3059
27:40
So you need to add an S to that verb because it's conjugated with it as the subject, and
436
1660669
6421
27:47
it's the present simple.
437
1667090
1130
27:48
Now, if you had a noun, you would say this situation sets you up for success.
438
1668220
7839
27:56
That's the singular noun.
439
1676059
2141
27:58
Or you could say all situations.
440
1678200
3450
28:01
Now this is plural.
441
1681650
1200
28:02
It's they all situations set you up for success.
442
1682850
4870
28:07
So with the noun, you conjugate it with singular or plural.
443
1687720
3630
28:11
But when the sentence starts with a gerund verb, being is conjugated as it.
444
1691350
7809
28:19
How about this sentence?
445
1699159
1761
28:20
I want to run something to you.
446
1700920
2540
28:23
Do you know what the mistake is?
447
1703460
1810
28:25
Well, technically this is grammatically correct, but it's the literal meaning.
448
1705270
7499
28:32
I want to run something.
449
1712769
3921
28:36
Maybe this iPad.
450
1716690
1470
28:38
I want to run something to you now, my student.
451
1718160
5850
28:44
When they use this, they were trying to use the expression to run something by or past
452
1724010
8870
28:52
someone, which is when you share an idea with someone in order to get feedback on that idea.
453
1732880
8510
29:01
So the mistake here is using the wrong preposition which can entirely change the meaning because
454
1741390
8280
29:09
now it's not the expression.
455
1749670
3009
29:12
I want to share an idea to get feedback.
456
1752679
3081
29:15
Now it's I want to literally run something to you, which is not what my student wanted
457
1755760
7919
29:23
to communicate.
458
1763679
2261
29:25
How about this sentence?
459
1765940
1420
29:27
Lately I'm worried about my English test.
460
1767360
4189
29:31
What's the mistake?
461
1771549
1061
29:32
The mistake is using the wrong verb tense with lately or recently, and I hear this mistake
462
1772610
8730
29:41
a lot.
463
1781340
1000
29:42
Lately or recently means the action started in the past and it continues until now and
464
1782340
6410
29:48
it might continue into the future.
465
1788750
3470
29:52
So what verb tense do we need?
466
1792220
1600
29:53
The present perfect continuous?
467
1793820
2430
29:56
Lately I've been worrying about my English test, and you could also say recently I've
468
1796250
7669
30:03
been worrying about my English test.
469
1803919
2711
30:06
Now remember that these are real mistakes that my real students in the finely fluent
470
1806630
4960
30:11
Academy have made.
471
1811590
1760
30:13
If you're that student who made this mistake, don't worry, because that's the whole purpose
472
1813350
7720
30:21
of taking lessons.
473
1821070
1880
30:22
I love it when my students make mistakes because it means I get to share something with them,
474
1822950
6180
30:29
I get to teach them something and they get to improve.
475
1829130
3909
30:33
So if you are also making these mistakes, don't worry.
476
1833039
3760
30:36
The important thing is that you're correcting them right now.
477
1836799
4211
30:41
And of course, if you want my personalized support, you can simply join the Finally Fluent
478
1841010
5909
30:46
Academy.
479
1846919
1301
30:48
You can check out the link in the description to learn more.
480
1848220
3830
30:52
Our next sentence we need to stop problem in its tracks.
481
1852050
5129
30:57
What's the mistake?
482
1857179
1000
30:58
The student forgot the article.
483
1858179
3591
31:01
This is definitely the most common mistake I hear even with my advanced students is leaving
484
1861770
8129
31:09
out articles or not using articles correctly overall.
485
1869899
4650
31:14
So here problem is a singular countable noun.
486
1874549
3861
31:18
So it needs an article.
487
1878410
2240
31:20
We need to stop the problem in its tracks.
488
1880650
5139
31:25
Now you could also say we need to stop this problem in its tracks.
489
1885789
5661
31:31
You could even say we need to stop our problem in its tracks.
490
1891450
5740
31:37
But you need some article before a singular countable noun.
491
1897190
5820
31:43
Unless it's one of the many nouns that are exceptions and don't take articles, which
492
1903010
6080
31:49
is why students struggle with articles so much, and which is why I help my students
493
1909090
5890
31:54
in the finely fluent Academy and provide the support because the use of articles is so
494
1914980
6130
32:01
specific in English.
495
1921110
3160
32:04
Let's look at this sentence.
496
1924270
1789
32:06
Whenever a student joins the finely fluent Academy, they always introduce themselves
497
1926059
5321
32:11
and one of the questions is what do you do for a living?
498
1931380
5601
32:16
And a lot of students will reply back and say I'm accountant, I'm accountant.
499
1936981
6249
32:23
What's the problem here?
500
1943230
1910
32:25
Again, it's articles.
501
1945140
3430
32:28
You need an article before a job title, so you would need to say I'm an accountant.
502
1948570
6310
32:34
You need an because accountant starts with a vowel sound, so you need an instead of.
503
1954880
6790
32:41
Awe.
504
1961670
1000
32:42
I'm an accountant.
505
1962670
2120
32:44
He's a developer.
506
1964790
2340
32:47
But if you were talking about a group, you could say they're developers.
507
1967130
5810
32:52
They are developers.
508
1972940
1969
32:54
So notice in this case there is no article because the noun is plural and you don't need
509
1974909
6391
33:01
an article with plural nouns, they're developers.
510
1981300
4710
33:06
So please, when you tell people what you do for a living, make sure you include the article.
511
1986010
7440
33:13
Otherwise it will sound like your English is very beginner.
512
1993450
4170
33:17
Let's review this sentence.
513
1997620
2600
33:20
He has been jumping up and down for two hours, was the mistake.
514
2000220
6799
33:27
This student wanted to use the present perfect continuous but they didn't form it properly.
515
2007019
6611
33:33
So it's the incorrect structure.
516
2013630
2120
33:35
The correct structure is subject have or has conjugated with the subject which this student
517
2015750
7130
33:42
did and then been and then the verb in ING.
518
2022880
6370
33:49
So the student only made one mistake, but just one mistake with the structure of a sentence
519
2029250
6549
33:55
will make the entire sentence incorrect.
520
2035799
2691
33:58
The student used the verb in ING being when it should have been been.
521
2038490
6299
34:04
So the correct sentence is He has been jumping up and down for two hours.
522
2044789
6731
34:11
How about this one?
523
2051520
1510
34:13
You need to practice more your English lessons.
524
2053030
4230
34:17
What's the mistake?
525
2057260
1000
34:18
The mistake here is incorrect word order, because you don't practice more something,
526
2058260
7250
34:25
you practice something more.
527
2065510
2659
34:28
So the correct sentence is you need to practice your English lessons more.
528
2068169
5821
34:33
You practice something, your English lessons more.
529
2073990
4909
34:38
Now if the something is obvious, you're talking about English lessons.
530
2078899
5591
34:44
You don't need to specify that.
531
2084490
1810
34:46
You could simply say you need to practice more, so you can also use practice more but
532
2086300
7540
34:53
without including the something.
533
2093840
3700
34:57
This is the final mistake and it's the one that I hear the absolute most, even more than
534
2097540
8340
35:05
articles.
535
2105880
1340
35:07
This sentence is the project doesn't go well.
536
2107220
4420
35:11
What's the mistake?
537
2111640
1320
35:12
So what verb tense is being used here?
538
2112960
3980
35:16
This sentence uses the present simple, but the present simple is for routine actions,
539
2116940
9889
35:26
and in this case it's not a routine action, it's an action that's taking place right now.
540
2126829
8290
35:35
So the mistake is using the present simple when the present continuous should have been
541
2135119
6601
35:41
used.
542
2141720
1000
35:42
And this is by far the most common mistake that I hear.
543
2142720
5320
35:48
Advanced students make the present simple.
544
2148040
4390
35:52
The correct sentence is the project isn't going well.
545
2152430
5870
35:58
Isn't going.
546
2158300
1000
35:59
Is going, but in the negative.
547
2159300
2730
36:02
So we have our present continuous is going is not going.
548
2162030
4370
36:06
The project isn't going well because we're talking about right now.
549
2166400
5260
36:11
Right now, the project isn't going well.
550
2171660
4120
36:15
You could absolutely use the present simple, but you would have to make the context appropriate
551
2175780
8180
36:23
so it would need to be more of a routine action.
552
2183960
4580
36:28
Think of it as more of an in general.
553
2188540
2620
36:31
So you could say our projects don't go well.
554
2191160
4900
36:36
So it's not necessarily the project right now, it's in general.
555
2196060
5500
36:41
In general, our projects don't go well, so just remember right now, present continuous.
556
2201560
7910
36:49
In general, present simple.
557
2209470
3220
36:52
So were you making a lot of these mistakes?
558
2212690
3179
36:55
Don't worry if you were because as I said, these are real mistakes that my real students
559
2215869
5720
37:01
make and don't feel bad if you make them as well.
560
2221589
3271
37:04

572
2271480
4290
37:55
yet.
573
2275770
1000
37:56
We have one more section.
574
2276770
1589
37:58
We're going to focus on your reading skills, so we're going to read a news article together.
575
2278359
5391
38:03
And at the same time, you'll learn a lot of advanced vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation.
576
2283750
6240
38:09
So let's read the article now.
577
2289990
1710
38:11
1st, I'll read the headline.
578
2291700
2639
38:14
This beloved beverage has gone viral, but you might want to think twice before drinking
579
2294339
6731
38:21
it.
580
2301070
1000
38:22
Did you notice how I pronounced beloved?
581
2302070
2980
38:25
Beloved, there are three syllables beloved.
582
2305050
5400
38:30
This is important because generally when you have a voiced sound, the Ed is pronounced.
583
2310450
7140
38:37
As a soft.
584
2317590
1170
38:38
D and there's only one syllable at the end, so that means it would normally be beloved,
585
2318760
7360
38:46
beloved.
586
2326120
1120
38:47
And some native speakers do pronounce it as beloved, the two syllables.
587
2327240
5480
38:52
But it is common more common to say beloved with the three syllables.
588
2332720
5990
38:58
Now let's talk about.
589
2338710
1380
39:00
Has gone viral, so the expression is to go viral.
590
2340090
4550
39:04
Here it's conjugated in the the present perfect, but the verb is go, and that's what you would
591
2344640
7490
39:12
conjugate.
592
2352130
1000
39:13
When something goes viral, it means it becomes extremely popular on social media and usually
593
2353130
6480
39:19
happens in a short period of time.
594
2359610
2209
39:21
So fingers crossed that this video that you're watching right now goes viral to help that
595
2361819
5541
39:27
you can like the video.
596
2367360
1759
39:29
So hit the like button because that does help videos go viral, OK?
597
2369119
4891
39:34
This.
598
2374010
1000
39:35
Beloved beverage has gone viral.
599
2375010
2599
39:37
So this beverage.
600
2377609
1581
39:39
Is now extremely popular on social media, but you might want to think twice before drinking
601
2379190
8350
39:47
it.
602
2387540
1000
39:48
Let's talk about this, because we have.
603
2388540
1549
39:50
Might want and then the infinitive to think.
604
2390089
4260
39:54
You might want to think.
605
2394349
1771
39:56
This is a great structure when you want to suggest.
606
2396120
3080
39:59
Something but do it in.
607
2399200
1710
40:00
A.
608
2400910
1000
40:01
Less.
609
2401910
1000
40:02
Severe way.
610
2402910
1000
40:03
Because notice this example.
611
2403910
1000
40:04
You must bring an umbrella.
612
2404910
2250
40:07
That sounds like a strong suggestion.
613
2407160
2919
40:10
If someone said that to me, I would 100% bring an umbrella.
614
2410079
5631
40:15
But if someone said you might want to bring an umbrella, maybe I will, maybe I won't.
615
2415710
5899
40:21
So the article headline is not being very severe in its recommendation.
616
2421609
6171
40:27
And when you think twice about something, it's literally you should think about it,
617
2427780
5720
40:33
and then you should think about it again.
618
2433500
2540
40:36
This is a common expression we use in English.
619
2436040
3380
40:39
So maybe your friend tells you, I want to quit my job.
620
2439420
4310
40:43
I hate my boss.
621
2443730
2560
40:46
You can reply back and say you might want to think twice before quitting, so you're
622
2446290
6090
40:52
encouraging your friend.
623
2452380
1450
40:53
In this case, you're doing it in a gentle way because we use.
624
2453830
3279
40:57
You might want to think twice so you're encouraging your friend to think again.
625
2457109
6980
41:04
Consider it again to make sure you're making the right decision.
626
2464089
4760
41:08
Now don't worry about taking all of these notes, because I summarize everything in a
627
2468849
4181
41:13
free lesson PDF.
628
2473030
1640
41:14
You can look for the link in the description.
629
2474670
2730
41:17
Now let's continue and find out what this beloved beverage is.
630
2477400
4420
41:21
The beverage which is just adding lemon juice to water.
631
2481820
4029
41:25
OK, so that's the beverage.
632
2485849
1871
41:27
It's lemon water has gone viral.
633
2487720
2750
41:30
We already know what this means in recent years due to its supposed health benefits,
634
2490470
7430
41:37
including boosting hydration.
635
2497900
2300
41:40
Now, here, boosting is used to say, increasing, increasing hydration.
636
2500200
6170
41:46
Hydration is the amount of water you have, so I wrote that here.
637
2506370
3940
41:50
For you, but the.
638
2510310
1360
41:51
Technical definite definition of hydration is your body's ability.
639
2511670
4780
41:56
To.
640
2516450
1010
41:57
Absorb water so you have the water in your body, but then being able.
641
2517460
6500
42:03
To.
642
2523960
1000
42:04
Use that water as energy.
643
2524960
2080
42:07
That would be hydration, boosting hydration, adding vitamin C, and being an alternative
644
2527040
6660
42:13
to sugar filled options like soda or fruit juice.
645
2533700
3940
42:17
So these are the different health benefits, which is why this beverage, lemon water, has
646
2537640
6050
42:23
gone viral.
647
2543690
1310
42:25
Now let's talk about supposed it's supposed health benefits.
648
2545000
5790
42:30
This is a very important word because when I read this, I know that, OK, this is what
649
2550790
6490
42:37
people say that lemon water can do, but it hasn't been proven then you can use supposed
650
2557280
7990
42:45
it's supposed health benefits.
651
2565270
2390
42:47
So it let's me know that there's some doubt around these health benefits we very commonly
652
2567660
5820
42:53
use.
653
2573480
1920
42:55
Supposedly the adverb form.
654
2575400
1699
42:57
For example, she supposedly stole the money.
655
2577099
3741
43:00
Now if I got rid of supposedly she stole the money.
656
2580840
3880
43:04
This sounds like a fact, but if I add she supposedly someone said it but it hasn't been
657
2584720
7040
43:11
confirmed.
658
2591760
1440
43:13
So this is just.
659
2593200
1540
43:14
Using the adjective form she's.
660
2594740
2260
43:17
A.
661
2597000
1000
43:18
Thief.
662
2598000
1000
43:19
That sounds like a fact.
663
2599000
1589
43:20
She's a supposed thief, so that isn't a fact.
664
2600589
3220
43:23
It's just what some people have said.
665
2603809
2921
43:26
Now notice.
666
2606730
1090
43:27
This.
667
2607820
1100
43:28
Pronunciation.
668
2608920
1090
43:30
Supposedly there's four syllables, but here is just supposed supposed.
669
2610010
7390
43:37
So notice that pronunciation different.
670
2617400
2280
43:39
The trendy drink is all the rage.
671
2619680
3290
43:42
Some students ask me what trendy means because this is in a lot of different articles.
672
2622970
5760
43:48
Trendy simply means popular right now, so I'll write that for you.
673
2628730
5889
43:54
Popular right now and all the rage, well, this is an expression, so the expression is
674
2634619
5940
44:00
to be all the rage.
675
2640559
2131
44:02
So you describe something as all the rage.
676
2642690
4300
44:06
This expression also means to be popular right now.
677
2646990
3500
44:10
But remember, you describe something as it.
678
2650490
2589
44:13
So we could say short videos like the ones you watch on YouTube shorts.
679
2653079
4311
44:17
I do those as well.
680
2657390
1650
44:19
Short videos.
681
2659040
1000
44:20
Are.
682
2660040
1000
44:21
Because we need our verb to be conjugated, short videos are all the rage right now.
683
2661040
5090
44:26
They're very popular right now, but this could change in a week or a month, so it's very
684
2666130
5260
44:31
temporary as well.
685
2671390
2370
44:33
But according to some doctors and dentists, it could be wreaking havoc in your mouth.
686
2673760
7049
44:40
When something wreaks havoc, it means it causes a lot of problems, and it sounds very strong,
687
2680809
7111
44:47
so causes severe problems.
688
2687920
3420
44:51
Now notice the pronunciation of.
689
2691340
2600
44:53
Wreak.
690
2693940
1000
44:54
Wreak.
691
2694940
1000
44:55
There's no W, it's silence, so it starts on AR, and then the vowel is.
692
2695940
5960
45:01
E.
693
2701900
1000
45:02
Wreak, Wreak.
694
2702900
1540
45:04
Wreaking havoc because it's conjugated in the present.
695
2704440
3030
45:07
Continuous because it's happening right now.
696
2707470
2590
45:10
And remember, this simply means causing severe problems.
697
2710060
3990
45:14
I'm not going to lie, I see a lot of effects on patients.
698
2714050
4720
45:18
Enamel.
699
2718770
1000
45:19
OK, so notice how we said doctors and dentists.
700
2719770
4089
45:23
So right now, who do you think is talking?
701
2723859
2631
45:26
Well, a dentist.
702
2726490
1490
45:27
Because enamel is on your teeth.
703
2727980
3930
45:31
It's what protects your teeth.
704
2731910
1510
45:33
I guess.
705
2733420
1000
45:34
I'm not a dentist, so Google tells me that enamel is the hard white shiny substance that
706
2734420
6840
45:41
forms the covering of a tooth.
707
2741260
2020
45:43
So it just.
708
2743280
1000
45:44
Covers your teeth.
709
2744280
1140
45:45
That's enamel, but it's important.
710
2745420
2080
45:47
It protects your teeth.
711
2747500
1450
45:48
I know my dentist always talks about enamel whenever I visit the dentist.
712
2748950
5550
45:54
Now notice here I read this as.
713
2754500
3099
45:57
I'm not going to lie, but that is not how native speakers say this.
714
2757599
6131
46:03
This is an expression.
715
2763730
1000
46:04
We use it a lot.
716
2764730
1000
46:05
And the expression is I'm not going to lie, I'm not going to lie.
717
2765730
4310
46:10
So when you pronounce this, if you want to sound like a native speaker, don't say I'm
718
2770040
5250
46:15
not going to lie.
719
2775290
1660
46:16
Say I'm not going to lie.
720
2776950
1619
46:18
I'm not going to lie.
721
2778569
1461
46:20
You need to take better care of your teeth.
722
2780030
3310
46:23
I'm not going to lie.
723
2783340
1260
46:24
You need to improve your English.
724
2784600
2330
46:26
So we use this.
725
2786930
1000
46:27
As an expression, before we share advice or a recommendation that we think the other person
726
2787930
6659
46:34
should follow, I'll read this again and I'll read it like a native speaker.
727
2794589
4691
46:39
I'm not gonna lie, I see a lot of effects on patients enamel the covering on their teeth
728
2799280
6289
46:45
from drinking lemon water, one dentist said.
729
2805569
4731
46:50
So this is one of the reasons why we need to think twice or we might want to think twice
730
2810300
8110
46:58
before drinking lemon water.
731
2818410
2439
47:00
When I see this, remember this is the dentist talking.
732
2820849
4101
47:04
When I see this, I asked them what happened.
733
2824950
4580
47:09
Do you have acid reflux?
734
2829530
2760
47:12
What's changed?
735
2832290
1390
47:13
And they can't figure it out.
736
2833680
2080
47:15
So they being the patient, the patient, This is a conversation between the dentist and
737
2835760
7470
47:23
the patient.
738
2843230
1000
47:24
So the patient can't figure it out.
739
2844230
1920
47:26
They don't know why their teeth are in a worse condition compared to their last visit.
740
2846150
7360
47:33
And then I ask, so and then the dentist asks, do you drink lemon water in the morning when
741
2853510
8109
47:41
they confirm, so they say yes, I do.
742
2861619
3211
47:44
That's confirming.
743
2864830
1060
47:45
When they confirm, I ask, do you brush your teeth right after two when they confirm.
744
2865890
6330
47:52
So again, when they say yes, I do, yes.
745
2872220
3710
47:55
I brush my teeth right after I wrote that down for you.
746
2875930
3590
47:59
So you can see the short form.
747
2879520
1839
48:01
Yes, I do.
748
2881359
1651
48:03
And the long form, which is the full sentence.
749
2883010
2819
48:05
Yes I drink lemon water because when you do the long form you don't need to include do
750
2885829
6101
48:11
so.
751
2891930
1000
48:12
You don't need to say yes I do drink lemon water is just yes I drink lemon water or yes
752
2892930
7189
48:20
I do.
753
2900119
1000
48:21
When they confirm, I now understand the problem with their teeth.
754
2901119
4791
48:25
The doctor explained that brushing your teeth after drinking lemon water is basically brushing
755
2905910
6429
48:32
acid into your teeth.
756
2912339
3101
48:35
I highlighted this adverb based.
757
2915440
2240
48:37
Basically because there's another.
758
2917680
1429
48:39
Very common one that will help you sound more fluent, which is essentially lemon Water is
759
2919109
6281
48:45
essentially brushing acid into your teeth.
760
2925390
3229
48:48
Now both of these.
761
2928619
1261
48:49
Mean.
762
2929880
1000
48:50
Just like so when you do this, when you brush your teeth after drinking lemon water, it's
763
2930880
7560
48:58
just like brushing acid into your teeth.
764
2938440
4060
49:02
So it's the most important characteristic you can use.
765
2942500
3730
49:06
Basically you can use.
766
2946230
1660
49:07
Essentially it's a little more advanced and then you can use just like which is a more
767
2947890
5100
49:12
casual way.
768
2952990
1280
49:14
But a native speaker would absolutely use this and it sounds very fluent instead.
769
2954270
5700
49:19
So here we have instead to transition from what the person is doing and then they want
770
2959970
8010
49:27
to suggest an alternative.
771
2967980
2490
49:30
So instead of brushing your teeth after drinking lemon water.
772
2970470
5750
49:36
So if you wanted to include that information, notice that sentence structure instead of
773
2976220
5470
49:41
and then a gerund.
774
2981690
1530
49:43
But because it's obvious they just said it, you can just use instead.
775
2983220
5460
49:48
Instead.
776
2988680
1090
49:49
She suggested we brush our teeth before we drink it, it being the lemon water.
777
2989770
6970
49:56
Or wait 20 to 30 minutes after alternatively.
778
2996740
5520
50:02
So this is.
779
3002260
1099
50:03
Another adverb, you can use instead of instead.
780
3003359
4251
50:07
So this is.
781
3007610
1150
50:08
Again, another alternative, but because we already use instead, you don't want to use
782
3008760
6630
50:15
it again, Although essentially you could.
783
3015390
3550
50:18
Alternatively, we can rinse our mouse with water to wash away any acid and then brush
784
3018940
6659
50:25
finally.
785
3025599
1441
50:27
So this is.
786
3027040
1519
50:28
1/3 Alternative, but notice the different prep the different adverbs use because you
787
3028559
6641
50:35
don't want to use the same ones again and again.
788
3035200
2909
50:38
So now you have three new adverbs that you can use when you're suggesting another possibility,
789
3038109
6361
50:44
and I think it's obvious.
790
3044470
1129
50:45
But finally, you can only use this before the final possibility.
791
3045599
5111
50:50
I think that's obvious, but I'll just say it finally.
792
3050710
4379
50:55
You can drink the lemon water with a straw to avoid teeth contact.
793
3055089
6791
51:01
She noted that this technique can be useful when drinking coffee too.
794
3061880
5380
51:07
I highlighted teeth contacts because this is the noun form to avoid something, which
795
3067260
7451
51:14
is teeth contact because of the enamel, right?
796
3074711
4299
51:19
But if you want to use a verb, you could just remember you need a gerund verb to avoid contacting
797
3079010
6940
51:25
your teeth.
798
3085950
1000
51:26
So it means the same thing is just a different sentence structure.
799
3086950
3639
51:30
She noted that this technique can be useful when drinking coffee too.
800
3090589
3990
51:34
I've heard that that coffee is very acidic and can be harmful to your teeth, and I've
801
3094579
5591
51:40
heard it also stains your teeth so causes your teeth to not be very white.
802
3100170
5460
51:45
So you can try this alternative.
803
3105630
1910
51:47
You can drink your coffee with a straw and that's the end of the article.
804
3107540
6710
51:54
So what I'll do now is.
805
3114250
1640
51:55
I'll read the article.
806
3115890
1070
51:56
From start to finish, and this time you can focus on my pronunciation.
807
3116960
3530
52:00
This.
808
3120490
1000
52:01
Beloved beverage has gone viral, but you might want to think twice before drinking it.
809
3121490
5990
52:07
The beverage, which is just adding lemon juice to water, has gone viral in recent years due
810
3127480
6190
52:13
to its supposed health benefits, including boosting hydration, adding vitamin C and being
811
3133670
6450
52:20
an alternative to sugar filled options like soda or fruit juice.
812
3140120
4459
52:24
The trendy drink is all the rage, but according to some doctors and dentists.
813
3144579
5381
52:29
It could be.
814
3149960
1000
52:30
Wreaking havoc in your mouth.
815
3150960
2070
52:33
I'm not going to lie, I see a lot of effects on patients Enamel from drinking lemon water,
816
3153030
6910
52:39
one dentist said.
817
3159940
1590
52:41
When I see this, I asked them what happened.
818
3161530
2650
52:44
Do you have acid reflux?
819
3164180
2130
52:46
What's changed And they can't figure it out?
820
3166310
2989
52:49
And then I ask, do you drink lemon water in the morning?
821
3169299
3621
52:52
When they confirm?
822
3172920
1130
52:54
I ask, Do you brush your teeth right after two When they confirm, I now understand the
823
3174050
5940
52:59
problem with their teeth.
824
3179990
2609
53:02

825
3182599
5200
53:07
acid into your teeth.

53:17
after.
828
