Well hello and welcome to this English lesson about verbs and
0
61
4500
00:04
nouns that are the same. If you're confused about what this
1
4561
4760
00:09
lesson will be about you'll find out in a moment. Sometimes
2
9321
4480
00:13
when you're learning English you'll actually see verbs that
3
13801
4640
00:18
are the same as the noun or a noun that is the same as the
4
18441
3760
00:22
verb. That means a thing that is the same as the action that
5
22201
4520
00:26
you do with the thing. Um if you Don't know what I mean.
6
26721
3580
00:30
I'll give you a quick hint. Um something like a hammer can be
7
30301
4800
00:35
used to hammer. I actually talked about this briefly in a
8
35101
3640
00:38
short English lesson earlier this week. But today we'll look
9
38741
3840
00:42
at a little over 30 different words that work as nouns and
10
42581
5000
00:47
also work as actions or verbs. So very very cool. It makes it
11
47581
4760
00:52
easier. It's kind of like a two for one deal. You learn one
12
52341
5040
00:57
word and you get two words in your vocabulary that you can
13
57381
3840
01:01
use. So once Again welcome to this English lesson about verbs
14
61221
4060
01:05
and nouns that are the same. A bend and to bend. So when you
15
65281
6000
01:11
look at the spoon you will see that there is a bend in the
16
71281
3440
01:14
spoon. When you look at the spoon it's not straight. There
17
74721
3200
01:17
is a bend in the spoon. This means that someone must have
18
77921
4520
01:22
bent it. Sorry to switch to the past tense. But if you have a
19
82441
3760
01:26
straight spoon and you want to put a bend in the spoon you
20
86201
4200
01:30
would bend the spoon. So this is a an example our first
21
90401
4660
01:35
example of a noun the bend in the spoon is pretty severe. Uh
22
95061
5520
01:40
because someone wanted to bend the spoon. So there's the verb.
23
100581
3280
01:43
So sometimes and in this lesson over 30 times. Sometimes in
24
103861
5200
01:49
English the word that you use to describe the thing is the
25
109061
4520
01:53
same as the action. So if you want to bend a spoon you grab
26
113581
4320
01:57
it and you go like this and then there will be a bend in
27
117901
3560
02:01
the spoon. Drink and to drink. Sometimes our kids want a
28
121461
7520
02:08
drink. They'll say I'm thirsty. Give me something to drink. I
29
128981
3480
02:12
want a drink. Sometimes it's nice to have a drink on a hot
30
132461
4240
02:16
day. In order to do that you use the verb to drink. You can
31
136701
3560
02:20
actually say sentences like this in English. I'm going to
32
140261
3480
02:23
drink a drink because I'm thirsty. Or he drank a drink
33
143741
4320
02:28
because he was thirsty. We use the word drink to to refer to
34
148061
4120
02:32
anything that you drink. Oh I'm hot. I just ran five
35
152181
5200
02:37
kilometres. I need a drink. I think I will go drink some
36
157381
5120
02:42
water. So there you go. We can use both of them. A kiss and to
37
162501
6260
02:48
kiss. So listen to how I use these sentences. Sometimes
38
168761
4440
02:53
someone will give someone a kiss. Sometimes they will kiss
39
173201
4280
02:57
someone. In the first sentence I'm using it as a noun. You can
40
177481
4440
03:01
give someone a kiss. I'll I'll blow a kiss. I can give a kiss.
41
181921
6280
03:08
But I could also walk up to Jen and I can kiss her. So we have
42
188201
4640
03:12
a noun a kiss and we have the verb to S. So I was going to
43
192841
7520
03:20
put a banana here but I decided it was better to put a potato
44
200361
3440
03:23
because I've used a lot of bananas lately in my lessons.
45
203801
4160
03:27
But you can peel something. And when you're done peeling it the
46
207961
4760
03:32
parts that you removed are the peel. When you peel a banana
47
212721
5680
03:38
when you use the action when you peel it. You take the
48
218401
3200
03:41
outside of the banana off. You eat the inside but then you
49
221601
4080
03:45
don't eat the peel which is the noun. So a banana has a peel. A
50
225681
5440
03:51
potato has a peel. And then in order to eat the potato or the
51
231121
4880
03:56
banana you need to peel it. And by the way this tool here is
52
236001
5240
04:01
called a peeler. A potato peeler. It probably has other
53
241241
4080
04:05
names as well but in our house we would call this a potato
54
245321
3360
04:08
peeler. So you can peel a potato and when you're done you
55
248681
3560
04:12
will have potato peels on the counter. By the way we also
56
252241
4720
04:16
define the word peel. So we say banana peel we say potato
57
256961
5080
04:22
peels. Uh usually plural with potatoes because there's a lot
58
262041
4060
04:26
of peels laying on the table when you're done. This is
59
266101
4540
04:30
something we do a lot in the winter in Canada. Um sometimes
60
270641
4040
04:34
I have to find my shovel so that I can go shovel. I use my
61
274681
4960
04:39
shovel to shovel. It sounds kind of funny when you say it
62
279641
3240
04:42
that way. But if it snows a lot I might need to find my shovel
63
282881
4840
04:47
so that I can go shovel the snow. Um maybe you have a large
64
287721
4600
04:52
pile of dirt in your driveway. And you need to move it. You
65
292321
3880
04:56
would need to find your shovel in order to shovel the dirt
66
296201
3960
05:00
into a wheelbarrow so you could move it. So if you have a
67
300161
3780
05:03
shovel you can use it to shovel things. Always handy to have a
68
303941
4960
05:08
shovel. I would say it's it's good to have if you need a
69
308901
6480
05:15
basic set of tools. A shovel is a good one to have. A good
70
315381
3320
05:18
garden tool to have. This is one that I looked at in my
71
318701
3720
05:22
short lesson. I did a little short lesson. I talked about
72
322421
4120
05:26
hammer. When you have a hammer which is a tool you can use the
73
326541
5040
05:31
hammer to hammer things. If my car had a dent in it I could
74
331581
4880
05:36
use a hammer to hammer out the dent. If I had a nail I could
75
336461
4500
05:40
use a hammer to hammer the nail in. And I did mention and I
76
340961
4200
05:45
will mention here too there are other verbs. You can pound a
77
345161
3600
05:48
nail in. You can hit a nail in but you can also hammer a nail
78
348761
4240
05:53
in. So you can use a hammer to hammer. Very handy. Two words
79
353001
5920
05:58
and you can use it or one word but you can use it in two
80
358921
3520
06:02
different ways. Shampoo and 2 shampoo. So shampoo is a liquid
81
362441
8480
06:10
form of soap that you most often use for to wash your
82
370921
4880
06:15
hair. But you can also shampoo things. So you can get carpet
83
375801
4800
06:20
shampoo and you can shampoo your carpet in your house. You
84
380601
3280
06:23
can shampoo your dog. Now I will admit with this one we
85
383881
4560
06:28
more often use the word wash. I use shampoo to to wash my dog.
86
388441
5560
06:34
I use shampoo to wash my hair. But it would be correct to a I
87
394001
4220
06:38
need to shampoo my hair before I go get a haircut. So you can
88
398221
4960
06:43
use it as a noun. You can use shampoo which is the actual
89
403181
4200
06:47
bottle of cleaner. Um or yeah I'm saying liquid soap because
90
407381
6280
06:53
the only word for shampoo is shampoo. Uh but you can use it
91
413661
3840
06:57
to shampoo your hair. Another garden tool. This is a rake and
92
417501
7580
07:05
you use a rake to rake things. So a rake is a tool that you
93
425081
4240
07:09
use if you want to smooth out the dirt. A rake is a garden
94
429321
4600
07:13
tool that you use when you want to put a whole bunch of stuff
95
433921
3520
07:17
into a pile. You might rake it together. So as much as a
96
437441
5320
07:22
shovel is handy. A rake is also very handy. Sometimes it's nice
97
442761
4840
07:27
to rake stone flat. We get puddles in our driveway. Little
98
447601
5780
07:33
pools of water and sometimes I will shovel some stone into the
99
453381
4800
07:38
hole and then I will rake it flat with the rake. So I will
100
458181
3200
07:41
shovel some stone with the shovel and I will rake the
101
461381
3120
07:44
stone flat with the rake. Very handy handy tool to have in
102
464501
5520
07:50
your garden shed. A drill and to drill you can see that this
103
470021
4400
07:54
lady is holding a drill. A drill is a tool that you use to
104
474421
4680
07:59
make a hole in something. She looks like she's working on
105
479101
3640
08:02
something and she needs to drill a hole in it. So she's
106
482741
4320
08:07
using a drill. So once again the noun a drill. Sometimes you
107
487061
6280
08:13
need a drill. You go to the store and you buy a drill.
108
493341
3440
08:16
Because you need to drill holes in something. So always I keep
109
496781
4960
08:21
saying this but a drill is a also a handy tool to have. And
110
501741
5560
08:27
then a label and two label. Sometimes at school I have a
111
507301
5480
08:32
lot of different papers. And I put those papers in folders to
112
512781
5000
08:37
organize them. And I like to put a label on each folder. And
113
517781
4840
08:42
then I write on the label what is in there. So a label is
114
522621
3920
08:46
usually a little sticker. Something that will stick to a
115
526541
3360
08:49
piece of paper. So again a label is something you put on
116
529901
4440
08:54
something. The action of doing that is called labeling or to
117
534341
4480
08:58
label. So sometimes at the end of the semester I will put
118
538821
3720
09:02
Things in folders and then I will find labels and I will
119
542541
4200
09:06
label each folder. I will put a label on each one so that
120
546741
4520
09:11
things stay organized. Labels are a handy way to keep things
121
551261
5000
09:16
organized. I can write the name of each class on the label
122
556261
4080
09:20
while I am labeling or while I label the folders. Uh and then
123
560341
6860
09:27
we have a flower and two flower. So these to me look
124
567201
3840
09:31
like tulips I think I've identified them correctly. They
125
571041
3880
09:34
might even be parrot tulips. These are flowers. So we can
126
574921
3960
09:38
say that gen grows flowers on the farm. It's nice when I have
127
578881
4800
09:43
a flower and I can smell it. But when when the plant grows
128
583681
5720
09:49
when it gets to the point where this happens we say that they
129
589401
4440
09:53
are flowering. Uh in the springs Sometimes trees will
130
593841
4100
09:57
get small buds and then the tree will flower. So the verb
131
597941
3920
10:01
form to flower means when the plants flowers open up. So it's
132
601861
6280
10:08
nice to buy flowers for people. And it's really nice in the
133
608141
4080
10:12
spring when some of the trees are flowering or in flower.
134
612221
5160
10:17
It's nice to see them flower and then you can smell them.
135
617381
5280
10:22
Let's see here. A pump and to pump. So this is obviously a
136
622661
7340
10:30
very old pump. This is not what you normally would see when you
137
630001
4760
10:34
think of a pump in our modern era. But a pump is a device
138
634761
4480
10:39
used to move water or at the gas station there is a pump
139
639241
4440
10:43
that will put gas in your car. But the action of using a pump
140
643681
5400
10:49
is to pump. So I will pump gas in my car at the gas station
141
649081
5520
10:54
using the gas pump. If I had in my yard I could pump water. So
142
654601
5980
11:00
the verb form or action. I would pump water using a pump.
143
660581
6920
11:09
A vacuum and to vacuum. So I cheated a little bit on this
144
669321
4300
11:13
one. Um I'm not sure if you know what the word cheat means
145
673621
3440
11:17
but to cheat is to kind of force this to work. A vacuum is
146
677061
6000
11:23
normally called a vacuum cleaner but the short form is a
147
683061
3720
11:26
vacuum. It's the machine you use to clean your floors. So we
148
686781
5480
11:32
have a vacuum. Again the proper word is vacuum cleaner. We have
149
692261
4880
11:37
a vacuum cleaner. Um but in our house we often say have you
150
697141
3280
11:40
seen the vacuum? Has anyone seen the vacuum? And we're
151
700421
3000
11:43
talking about the machine a vacuum cleaner. You use it to
152
703421
4280
11:47
vacuum. Sometimes I vacuum my room on Saturday mornings so
153
707701
4320
11:52
that the carpet is clean. Sometimes I say to Jen have you
154
712021
3160
11:55
seen the vacuum because I need to vacuum my room. And I will
155
715181
6200
12:01
say this too it's a tricky word to pronounce because of when
156
721381
4680
12:06
you see it but it actually isn't too bad vacuum vacuum to
157
726061
5120
12:11
vacuum
158
731181
2640
12:15
glue and to glue. So glue is something you use when you want
159
735401
5180
12:20
to stick two things together. You might want to stick two
160
740581
4600
12:25
pieces of paper together. You might want to stick two pieces
161
745181
4200
12:29
of wood together. So you can use glue to do this. When you
162
749381
4760
12:34
do that you are using the verb to glue. I'm going to glue
163
754141
4440
12:38
these pieces of paper together. I'm going to glue this these
164
758581
4680
12:43
two pieces of wood together. So when you glue something you use
165
763261
4240
12:47
glue you put some glue on it. And then when you do this when
166
767501
4000
12:51
you put the two pieces together we would say that you are
167
771501
3160
12:54
gluing. You are going to glue two things together. When I was
168
774661
5360
13:00
a kid in school this was a very common thing to do. We would
169
780021
4720
13:04
often do a lot of colouring. We would glue things together and
170
784741
5560
13:10
make things. It was always fun when I was a young child at
171
790301
4320
13:14
school.
172
794621
2480
13:17
A hoe and to ho. So a hoe I'm not sure if you can see this
173
797641
4420
13:22
tool is another garden tool and it has a piece of metal at the
174
802061
4520
13:26
end. A hoe is used usually to get rid of weeds. Weeds are
175
806581
5920
13:32
plants that grow where you don't want them to. So when you
176
812501
4040
13:36
use a hoe you you could say this. I need the hoe because I
177
816541
4360
13:40
need to go hoe the field. So when you hoe the action of
178
820901
4240
13:45
using the hoe we use the verb ho and the tool itself is
179
825141
6000
13:51
called a ho. Similar to a saw. So the tool that this lady is
180
831141
6480
13:57
using is called a saw. The action she is doing is to saw.
181
837621
5320
14:02
She is sawing the board in half. She found the saw. Now
182
842941
4520
14:07
she's going to saw the board in half. Now we do also use the
183
847461
4440
14:11
verb to cut when talking about a saw. You can use a saw to cut
184
851901
4800
14:16
a board in half. You can also use a saw to saw a board in
185
856701
4780
14:21
half. Both are fine. I actually think cut is more common. A
186
861481
4480
14:25
more common way to describe using a saw. And then we have
187
865961
6560
14:32
here a lock. And this lock is being used to lock the door. So
188
872521
5840
14:38
a lock is a device that we use. A small little thing we use
189
878361
7680
14:46
when we want to close something and not allow other people in.
190
886041
4720
14:50
So then we will lock whatever we want to prevent people from
191
890761
5560
14:56
going in. So the little thing on this picture is called a
192
896321
4320
15:00
lock. This lock is being used to lock the door. When I leave
193
900641
5920
15:06
for work I lock the door. I put my key in the lock noun. So I
194
906561
5360
15:11
put it in the lock and then when I turn the key I'm now
195
911921
3860
15:15
using the verb to lock. I put my key in the lock and then I
196
915781
3640
15:19
lock the door. So when you have a lock you use it to lock
197
919421
5440
15:24
things. And then we have a dream and to dream. So a dream
198
924861
6340
15:31
is something that happens at night when you're asleep. You
199
931201
3560
15:34
can wake up in the morning and say oh I had a dream last
200
934761
3440
15:38
night. I imagine that I had millions of dollars and I could
201
938201
4560
15:42
swim in pavement. Sorry this is a kind of a weird picture I
202
942761
4040
15:46
just realized. But a dream is something that you have at
203
946801
3720
15:50
night. When you go to bed though you might use the verb
204
950521
4040
15:54
form to dream and say I hope that I'm going to dream
205
954561
2880
15:57
tonight. I hope that I'm going to dream about something. So a
206
957441
3860
16:01
dream is something that happens at night and to dream is the
207
961301
4120
16:05
action of it happening. We also use the word dream to talk
208
965421
4200
16:09
about something we want in the future. Um my dream is that my
209
969621
5160
16:14
YouTube channel keeps growing. So sometimes I dream about my
210
974781
4440
16:19
YouTube channel getting bigger. That means I'm thinking about
211
979221
3080
16:22
it. You might have a dream that you'll be completely fluent in
212
982301
4240
16:26
English someday. Or you might have a dream you'll someday
213
986541
3460
16:30
travel to a country where they speak English. And so you dream
214
990001
4480
16:34
about that. So flipping from noun to verb very easily. Spray
215
994481
7360
16:41
and to spray. So the generic word for anything that comes
216
1001841
5080
16:46
out of a can like this is a spray. Okay. Um you might buy a
217
1006921
4680
16:51
fly spray you might buy. You might buy mosquito spray. When
218
1011601
4960
16:56
you buy something that when you push the top it goes and it
219
1016561
5160
17:01
comes out usually in a vapor. We would call that a spray.
220
1021721
4520
17:06
This person is using the verb to spray. He thought there are
221
1026241
4120
17:10
mosquitoes I'm going to spray mosquito spray on my arms so
222
1030361
5240
17:15
that the mosquitoes don't bite me. So when you buy a spray
223
1035601
4480
17:20
when you buy fly spray or mosquito spray you can spray it
224
1040081
4680
17:24
on yourself. Uh don't spray fly spray on yourself though.
225
1044761
3600
17:28
That's not a good idea. You can spray mosquito repellent or a
226
1048361
3240
17:31
mosquito spray on yourself. But you can don't spray fly spray
227
1051601
6240
17:37
on yourself. Not a good idea. A shop and to shop. So again
228
1057841
6760
17:44
sometimes you want to buy something. Maybe you want to
229
1064601
3440
17:48
buy a book. So you would go to a shop that sells books. Or you
230
1068041
4760
17:52
might call it a store. We kind of use the two words
231
1072801
3040
17:55
interchangeably. For me a shop is a small store that usually
232
1075841
4920
18:00
sells one thing. Like a candy shop or a bookshop. Uh or yeah
233
1080761
5560
18:06
those would be two good examples. So you can go to a
234
1086321
3120
18:09
shop Because you want to buy something. The action of buying
235
1089441
4580
18:14
things is to shop. I am going to shop this afternoon. I am
236
1094021
4440
18:18
going to buy some things. So you can shop in a shop. You can
237
1098461
4840
18:23
go to a shop to do to buy some things and in order to shop. I
238
1103301
6880
18:30
really like bookshops by the way. They're one of my
239
1110181
2400
18:32
favourite things. Used bookshops or used bookstores
240
1112581
3680
18:36
are a fun place when you want to go shop. It's a great place
241
1116261
3800
18:40
to go. By the way we also say shopping. I'm going to go
242
1120061
4900
18:44
shopping or I'm going to go shop. Um what are you going to
243
1124961
3280
18:48
do today? I'm going to go shopping this afternoon. Um I'm
244
1128241
3360
18:51
not actually though. I'm going to go to work this afternoon.
245
1131601
5920
18:57
Paint and to paint. So sometimes you look at a wall
246
1137521
4040
19:01
and you don't like the colour. And you think I should buy
247
1141561
3320
19:04
paint. And then I should paint the wall. So you go to the
248
1144881
4920
19:09
store and you buy paint. You buy paint in a can. And then
249
1149801
4000
19:13
when you come home you open the can. And when you start to put
250
1153801
4040
19:17
the paint on the wall we say that you are now painting.
251
1157841
4200
19:22
You're using the verb to paint. Um this room hasn't been
252
1162041
4120
19:26
painted for a while. I think I'm going to paint this room
253
1166161
3280
19:29
this summer. Um just a few weeks ago Jen and I decided to
254
1169441
4660
19:34
paint another room in our house. So we went to the
255
1174101
3400
19:37
hardware store and we bought paint. Um and then when we came
256
1177501
3880
19:41
home we were able to paint the room. Lots of fun. I like new
257
1181381
4360
19:45
colours. So here's a few simple ones. You use a brush to brush
258
1185741
5920
19:51
your hair. And you use a comb to comb your hair. So a brush
259
1191661
4760
19:56
has I think you know what a brush is. It has a lot more
260
1196421
3120
19:59
little pointy things. And you use it to brush your hair and a
261
1199541
4220
20:03
comb is thinner and just has some teeth on it and you use it
262
1203761
4160
20:07
to comb your hair. Both of these things you use the noun
263
1207921
4440
20:12
use brush. I need to find a brush. I need to find a comb
264
1212361
4280
20:16
because I want to brush my hair or I want to comb my hair. So
265
1216641
4840
20:21
very very cool examples of nouns that are also verbs. And
266
1221481
6080
20:27
this is something not everyone does. But you use floss to
267
1227561
4680
20:32
floss your this person is flossing their teeth. I'm going
268
1232241
4240
20:36
to brush my teeth and I'm going to floss my teeth after this
269
1236481
4280
20:40
lesson before I go to work. In order to do that I will use
270
1240761
4080
20:44
floss. So once again using the same word to describe the thing
271
1244841
5080
20:49
floss as well as the action to floss. And this one has come up
272
1249921
6580
20:56
a couple of times. Sometimes you need to send an email to
273
1256501
3880
21:00
someone. Sometimes you need to email someone. So you can talk
274
1260381
4200
21:04
about the thing which is an email. I need to write an email
275
1264581
4320
21:08
to my mom because I might visit her tomorrow. I need to email
276
1268901
4800
21:13
my mom because I might visit her tomorrow. Notice the
277
1273701
2800
21:16
difference there. In the first one I'm using the noun. I'm
278
1276501
3440
21:19
going to write an email. In the second one I'm using the verb.
279
1279941
4320
21:24
I'm going to email my mom. So you can use it as a noun. You
280
1284261
4160
21:28
can use it as a verb. I think this actually might make
281
1288421
4720
21:33
English more confusing. I thought this made English
282
1293141
2760
21:35
easier. But the more I think about it this might make it
283
1295901
3040
21:38
harder. Uh a smell and to smell. So there's a couple
284
1298941
3760
21:42
variations here. Something like a flower or herbs or spices
285
1302701
5200
21:47
have a smell. They when you go like this you can see that they
286
1307901
5480
21:53
have a smell. Sometimes when you use the verb to smell
287
1313381
4320
21:57
though you can use it two ways. You could say that if you let's
288
1317701
6560
22:04
see. If you put that deodorant on you're going to smell. Or
289
1324261
5320
22:09
I'm going to smell these flowers because they're
290
1329581
2920
22:12
beautiful. So to smell can mean to give off an aroma it could
291
1332501
5000
22:17
also mean to go like that to see if something has a smell.
292
1337501
5280
22:22
Not sure if I explain that one really well but definitely
293
1342781
3120
22:25
things can have a smell. And sometimes you're going to smell
294
1345901
5520
22:31
something and then you can smell its smell. That was
295
1351421
3920
22:35
really confusing. And exit and to exit. Sometimes when you are
296
1355341
5540
22:40
in a building you want to leave so you look for the exit. An
297
1360881
5280
22:46
exit is the door that you use to leave a building. At the
298
1366161
5120
22:51
back of a building there might be a door and above it it might
299
1371281
3480
22:54
say exit. You can use the exit to exit. Sometimes when there's
300
1374761
4880
22:59
a problem they'll say everyone needs to exit the building.
301
1379641
3440
23:03
There's a fire in the kitchen at the restaurant. Everyone
302
1383081
3360
23:06
needs to exit the building. When they say when they use the
303
1386441
4140
23:10
verb to exit you would look for an exit so you would hear that
304
1390581
5520
23:16
you need to exit you would need to look for an exit and then
305
1396101
3560
23:19
you would exit the building using the exit I like that
306
1399661
4040
23:23
sentence by the way you would exit the building using the
307
1403701
2920
23:26
exit If you ever go out in a kayak or in a canoe you will
308
1406621
7440
23:34
use a paddle in order to make the canoe or kayak go forward.
309
1414061
4600
23:38
You will paddle the action is to paddle. You will paddle the
310
1418661
4840
23:43
kayak using a paddle. It's hard to paddle the kayak when your
311
1423501
4800
23:48
paddle falls in the water. That happened to me once. And then I
312
1428301
3600
23:51
had to paddle with my hands in order to get my paddle back.
313
1431901
4600
23:56
I've just said paddle a lot in the last few sentences. But the
314
1436501
4440
24:00
paddle or a paddle is something you use in order to propel the
315
1440941
6040
24:06
boat forward and the action is to paddle. More recently too in
316
1446981
6860
24:13
the last century we've developed something called the
317
1453841
3960
24:17
phone you can have a phone in your pocket think I lost my
318
1457801
4440
24:22
phone it might be on my charger I can use my phone to phone
319
1462241
3960
24:26
someone. So when I need to talk to my mom I will phone my mom
320
1466201
5360
24:31
using my phone. Sometimes I can't find my phone and then I
321
1471561
3880
24:35
can't phone my mom because I can't find my phone. So the
322
1475441
3880
24:39
actual device is called a phone. That's the noun. Using
323
1479321
4280
24:43
the the device to make a call is is to phone someone okay
324
1483601
6320
24:49
when you're texting you're not phoning you're texting you can
325
1489921
2960
24:52
send you can text someone a text by the way you can message
326
1492881
3640
24:56
someone a message as well let's see here a vote and to vote
327
1496521
6800
25:03
when we have an election I go and I am allowed to cast a vote
328
1503321
6280
25:09
every person gets a single vote in an election. So the actual
329
1509601
4760
25:14
piece of paper is a vote. You get to decide who you want as a
330
1514361
4960
25:19
leader. The action is called to vote. Sometimes there's an
331
1519321
5160
25:24
election and Jen and I will go to vote in the evening. I don't
332
1524481
4120
25:28
usually go vote during the day. I usually go vote or I go to
333
1528601
4520
25:33
vote at night because it's easier and there's less people
334
1533121
4040
25:37
there. A cheat and to cheat. Now there are actually two
335
1537161
6360
25:43
versions of the word a cheat. Someone who does this. Who has
336
1543521
4760
25:48
the answers in their hand while doing a test. We would say that
337
1548281
3880
25:52
they are a cheat or we might call them a cheater. I actually
338
1552161
4120
25:56
think cheater might be more common. Like you're a cheater.
339
1556281
3560
25:59
If you're playing a game with someone and when they roll the
340
1559841
3520
26:03
dice they flip one of the dice to be a different number. You
341
1563361
3400
26:06
would probably say you're a cheat or you're a cheater. The
342
1566761
3760
26:10
action of doing that is to cheat. It is not good to cheat
343
1570521
4240
26:14
on a test. It's bad. You should never cheat on tests. Otherwise
344
1574761
4760
26:19
you are a cheat or you are a cheater. And then we have
345
1579521
5680
26:25
things like a cough and to cough. Sometimes people are
346
1585201
3720
26:28
sick. Just last week one of my kids was sick. Uh she had a
347
1588921
4720
26:33
cough. We could hear her coughing. So when you have a
348
1593641
4440
26:38
cough the when you see someone do this you would say that that
349
1598081
4600
26:42
is a cough. The action though is to cough. Sometimes during
350
1602681
4480
26:47
my live lessons I get a tickle in my throat and I have to
351
1607161
3920
26:51
cough. Should drink some water because I actually just have a
352
1611081
