Let's Learn English! Topic: Everyday Verbs! 👕🐕📌

Well, hello and welcome

to this English lesson

about everyday verbs.

As you go through your day,

there are verbs that you

will need to know to describe

the actions that you do.

And the things that you

do throughout the day.

Kind of go from

morning until night.

My lesson though is

a little more random.

As I thought of things, I

added them to the list,

but it doesn't really go

from morning until evening.

Some of these are related

to your daily routine, but I have

lessons on that in the past.

So these are some other common

verbs that are kind of

about your daily routine.

And some might be new for you.

I, I chose some that are

common but maybe not

familiar to all of you.

So once again, welcome

to this English lesson

about everyday verbs.

I think you will enjoy it.

To roll out of bed.

So you can see how I've

chosen a phrase here.

I could say to wake

up or to get up.

Those are the common one.

But this is a more fun way to talk

about it and it's not uncommon.

Like this morning I

rolled out of bed at 6.

I was up very, very early.

Usually I don't roll out

of bed until 7 or 7:15 lately.

But when you use this phrase,

it's kind of a more interesting

way to say that you got up.

So when you roll something,

like if you roll

a ball, it goes like this.

And we also use the same

words to describe getting out

of bed in the morning.

So what time do you of bed?

You would respond by saying,

oh, I usually roll out

of bed around 6:30 or 7 or 8.

If you sleep that long.

I'm not sure how long all of you

sleep, but to roll out of

bed, to get up, to crawl into bed.

So like I said,

this lesson isn't perfect.

It doesn't go from

morning until evening.

But you can also

at night crawl into bed.

So when I'm really tired, sometimes

I crawl into bed at 9:30.

The one time a couple weeks

ago I craw bed at 9:00pm

I normally don't go to bed until

10 or 10:30, sometimes 11:00.

But if I'm really tired, I might

crawl into bed earlier than later.

You also sometimes use this

phrase when you're sick.

You might say, oh, I called in sick

and then I just crawled back into

bed because I didn't feel well.

So to crawl into bed

means the same as to go to bed

at night to look for.

So I thought this was a good one.

In terms of everyday verbs,

I'm not sure what your life is

like, but I often have to look

for things in the morning.

Sometimes I have

to look for my Fitbit.

My wedding ring is

the thing that I like.

I don't lose.

But I have to look for this because

I put it on a different part of

my desk over there all the time.

And sometimes papers get

moved around and I can't

find my wedding ring.

But you might look for your

wallet, you might look for

your keys, you might look for

your watch, you might look for

your phone, you might look for

your wedding ring if you're

married.

Sometimes during the day you have

to look for something because

you don't know where it is.

And then of course, we have

the simple verb to lose.

Sometimes you have to look

for something because you lost it.

That's the past tense.

I don't like to lose things.

But sometimes I will again

lose my wedding ring

on my desk over there.

What else have I lost lately?

At school, I made a set of tests

for the students and then for some

reason I was able to lose them.

I, I didn't know where they

were, so I lost them and I

had to look for them.

So.

So a common thing for me

at least is that sometimes you

will lose things to flip.

We have a few food related

ones here and I tried to pick ones

different than

to cook or to fry or to bake.

When you make eggs in a pan,

you can see that this person

is going to flip the egg.

You can see the egg closest

to me was already flipped.

So past tense.

But he's using a spatula and he is

going to flip egg or she is going

to flip the egg with the spatula.

There are many things that we

make that we need to flip.

Maybe you're making pierogies

in a frying pan

and you need to flip them.

Maybe you're making pancakes

and you need to flip them.

When one side is done cooking,

you flip that item so that it can

cook on the other side to butter.

Now, I'm not sure if you eat

bread or toast sliced like this.

Depending on where you're from,

you might eat pitas or you might

tear your bread, other things.

But here in North America, we

often eat our bread sliced.

And then usually we

butter our bread.

So we put on either

butter or margarine.

Margarine looks like butter,

but it's made from oil.

And we use that to

butter our bread.

Now it's interesting.

When you use butter, then you

will get some butter and you

will butter your bread.

When you use margarine, you

will also Butter your bread.

The verb stays the same even though

what you are using changes.

So you might put bread

in the toaster.

Oh, wrong slide.

You might put bread in

the toaster to toast it, and then

you might butter it

in the morning to scramble.

Well, this is another

way to make eggs.

You can see that this person,

instead of making an egg

that's easy over, over easy.

Sorry, I get that one wrong.

Sometimes, they've decided

to scramble their eggs.

Scrambled eggs.

That happens when you mix the egg

up in the pan with the spatula

and you mix the egg white

with the egg yolk in order to make

what we call scrambled eggs.

So sometimes you decide

to scramble your eggs.

You decide that you want

them to look like this.

I enjoy scrambled eggs.

They're quite tasty.

And then this was the slide I

was trying to jump to, to toast.

So you will toast your bread

in the toaster.

Maybe you don't like bread.

Maybe the bread isn't really fresh.

Sometimes it's nice to toast

the bread, and then it

becomes toast as a noun.

And then you will butter

the toast and then eat it

with your breakfast.

Really, really yummy.

Really, really enjoyable.

And then you might

brew some coffee.

I don't do this anymore.

Years ago, I used to brew

coffee every morning.

I would put on a pot of coffee.

That's another way of saying it.

Or I would make coffee.

You can use the simple

verb to make.

By the way, make works for a lot

of things, like you can make

eggs, you can make toast, you can

make coffee, you can make tea.

But sometimes we use a more

specific verb for variety.

So it's nice to smell fresh brewed

coffee in the morning.

It has a very, very nice smell.

So you might make tea, you

might brew some coffee.

You would do all of the things

you do to start your day.

To walk the dog, to feed the dog.

Now, you can adjust this.

If you walk your cat, you

could say, usually you

walk your cat, but mostly

people will walk the dog.

They'll walk their dog.

Often when a family has a do,

one of the kids will be in charge

of walking the dog every day.

So if you have a pet, you need

to take care of the pet.

If it's a dog, you

will walk the dog.

If it's another pet, you will

definitely need to feed it.

So you need to feed the fish

in the aquarium, you need

to feed the cat, you need to feed

the dog, you need to feed the.

What other pets do people have?

You need to feed the bird.

Maybe you Have a parrot.

Maybe you have.

I'm trying to think.

Maybe you have a horse.

You need to feed the horse.

If you have animals, you need

to take care of the animals.

One of the things you

would need to do is you need

to feed that animal.

So for us, it's Jen that does this.

Jen will feed the dog and feed

the cats, feed the dogs

and feed the cats so that

they have something to eat.

It's not a cute dog.

Thought that was a nice dog.

You might need to pack a lunch.

I don't like to buy food at work.

I can buy food at work instead.

I like to pack a lunch.

I usually take cucumbers,

a banana, a small sandwich.

I think it's just better,

it's healthier and cheaper

if I pack a lunch.

So when you pack a lunch, it

means in the morning you get

out different kinds of food

and you either put it into

containers, you wrap it in

plastic, and then you take it

with you to school or take it

with you to work.

So a very common thing for most

people to do is to pack a lunch.

This person has decided

to make a traditional sandwich.

It looks like it has

cheese and lettuce.

There's probably a bit

of meat on there.

Maybe they buttered the bread

before, but they are making what

looks like a fairly yummy lunch.

It just needs a banana, little

thing of cucumbers, to head out.

So when you are done

getting ready in the morning,

eventually you will head out.

So in today I'm going to head out

at around 9:35, I'm going

to finish this lesson and then I'm

going to head out around 9:35.

If Jen said when are

you leaving for work?

I would say I'm going

to head out at 9:35.

So I'll probably talk to Jen

for a little bit when this

live stream is over and then

I will head out for work.

And then you come home from work.

So at the end of the day I

will come home from work.

So notice these are

a little more complex.

Like I head out to work,

I come home from work.

It's more than just saying

I returned from work.

We don't often say that

he left for work.

We might say and he

came home from work.

That would both

in the past tense there.

So to come home, I like

to come home right away

when I'm done work.

It's nice to come home really is,

to run out and get.

So this is, this is a bit

of a mouthful Let me say it again.

To run out and get.

Sometimes you need to run

out and get something.

Maybe you need to run

out and get some milk.

You need to run out

and get some groceries.

You need to run out and get water.

We are out of water and we've

pick up water in town.

So I need to.

Someone needs to run out

and get water today.

It's on my list.

But when you run out and get

something, it, it's like you're

doing something quickly.

Maybe.

So it's kind of interesting.

When you run out of milk, you

have to run out to get milk

or run out and get milk.

So I kind of used it

in two different ways there.

When you run out of something,

you don't have any left.

And then you need to run

out and get that thing.

A good example would

be toilet paper.

If you run out of toilet

paper, as in you have none.

Someone in the house or

apartment needs to run out

and get toilet paper

to get dressed to get undressed.

So when you are getting ready for

work, one of the things you need

to do is you need to get dressed.

At the end of the day when you

get home from work, you might

get undressed, you might decide

to undress and put on more

comfortable clothes, or you

might undress before you go to

bed and put on pajamas or

whatever you sleep in.

So they're kind of again,

two sides of the same thing.

So you get dressed

and then you, you can also

say you get undressed.

By the way, I should

have taught both.

So I can.

Yeah, when I, When I put

on clothes, I say I get dressed.

When our kids were little, we

would dress our children.

So you don't use the get.

The get implies that I'm doing it.

So I get dressed every morning.

In the past tense, I could say

I got dressed at 6:30 this

morning after I had a shower.

And then you can also

undress or get undressed.

Both will work just as well.

So there's a phrase to get ready

and I'm going

to teach it in general as well.

But you can get ready for bed,

you can get ready for work,

you can get ready.

When people are coming over,

you can get ready, which means

you're cleaning the house

and getting everything

in the spot it's supposed to be.

This lady has decided

to get ready for lunch or

to get ready for supper.

A very general phrase that we use

to talk about what we do

just before something else.

So when I'm done this livestream, I

need to get ready for work, I need

to find my laptop, I need to find

my phone, I need to find my keys.

It's a general term.

You can also get ready for bed.

So at the end of the day, you can

get ready for bed so that you can

have a good night's sleep.

So you brush your teeth, you go

to the washroom or bathroom.

Say washroom because I'm

Canadian, but definitely

we use this phrase a lot.

When Jen goes to market,

before she leaves, she needs

to get ready for market.

When my kids go to school, they

need to get ready for school.

So it's the act of preparing

to do something.

You get ready to do that

thing to lock, to unlock.

Now, there might be a time

where you lock your car.

There might be a time

where you unlock your car.

You might lock your front

door when you leave.

You might unlock your front

door when you come home.

We use lock and unlock

for a variety of things.

When you go to the gym, you

might lock your locker.

You might have a locker

in the change room, and then

you will unlock it when

you're done working out.

You might have a gate in front

of your house, and you might lock

the gate when you leave and unlock

the gate when you come home again.

You can see the little pictures

on here of an actual lock.

This is called a fob

or key fob for a car.

When you press lock,

your car might go beep, beep.

And when you press unlock,

you might just hear it click.

But this is what you might

do several times a day.

When I leave, if I'm the last one

to leave, I lock the house,

I unlock my van to get in my van.

When I get to school, I get out

of my van, and I will lock my van.

And then at the end of the day,

I will unlock my van, and then

I will go home and unlock

the door and go into the house

to start to turn off.

It's weird how we use

not quite the matching verbs.

When you get in your vehicle,

you start your vehicle.

Someone might say, hey, start

the car so the car can warm up.

In the winter, we will often

start our car earlier in the day.

So you push a button or you turn

the key to start your car,

and then when you're done driving,

you turn off your car.

So I'm assuming this person is

going to turn off

their car because the green

lights already on.

So I'm assuming the car is running.

But yes, you will unlock your

car, get in your car, and then

you will start Your car.

Then you will,

of course, drive your car.

And I didn't include

a slide for that.

And then you will off your car.

So you don't turn on your car,

but you do turn off other things.

So let me explain this.

You turn on your tv, you

turn on your computer,

you turn on the stove.

I need to turn the stove on.

You turn on.

I'm trying to think of other

things you would turn on.

Turn on your laptop.

Turn.

Why is my camera not working?

You need to turn it on.

So when you turn something

on, it means that you.

It has power and it comes

to life, so to speak.

You can see in the background,

it's a bit blurry.

When you turn on the tv, it lights

up and it starts to work.

And then you can turn off your tv,

you can turn off your computer,

you can turn off the radio, you

can turn off many, many things.

To head home.

I should have put this slide

earlier in the lesson.

Probably when you are done work,

you can head home.

So we had head out.

So in the morning,

I will head out to work.

And when I'm done work,

I will head home.

We use the verb to head to mean

going in a certain direction.

Okay, So I could head to Toronto.

I can head home.

I can head to the grocery store.

It means you are going somewhere.

It means that you are

in one place and you're going

to walk or drive somewhere else.

So after work, want to head home.

But I have to head to the grocery

store to get some cheese, and then

I have to head to the water

filling station to get water.

So you can use to head to be.

It's the same as to go, really?

And then to grab.

This is a universal

verb in English.

If my car was broken,

I could grab an Uber.

In order to get to work,

When I go to the grocery store,

I need to grab some cheese.

At work, I need to go

to the photocopier to grab

the thing that I printed out.

Let me see.

You can also say to someone,

do you want to grab lunch?

Do you want to go to the pizza

place and grab a slice of pizza?

This is a very, very common

and useful word.

So before this lesson, I

grabbed a cup of water.

I grabbed some water so that I

could take a sip when I needed to.

Before I leave for work,

I will grab my phone.

Before I go to buy hay,

I will grab some money.

Here's some Canadian money

for your viewing pleasure.

There's like a huge $50 bill here.

Hay is expensive, by the way.

I'm not sure if you knew this,

but our money in Canada.

Off topic here, but.

Oh, not really.

You might need to grab some

money before you head out.

Yeah, our money in Canada is all

different colors and it has like

a special plastic strip in it that

makes it hard to counterfeit.

But the verb to grab,

very, very common.

When you go on a trip, you want

to make sure you grab

your camera before you leave

so that you have it with.
