3000
00:04
I'm gonna tell you two words
2
4560
2320
00:06
and I want you to tell me about their spelling.
3
6880
3900
00:10
The first word is 'choose'.
4
10780
4280
00:15
Now what's the correct spelling?
5
15140
2020
00:17
Number one?
6
17200
1340
00:18
Number two?
7
18540
1300
00:19
Or number three?
8
19840
2260
00:22
hmm
9
22100
2980
00:25
Second word now.
10
25080
2040
00:27
'lose'
11
27120
1800
00:28
Again, what's the correct spelling?
12
28920
4660
00:33
Got it?
13
33580
1520
00:35
Okay. well.
14
35100
2060
00:37
The answer the correct answer was number two in both cases.
15
37160
4920
00:42
If you got that wrong, please keep watching.
16

00:48
Hello, guys. My name
is F@nny .
17
48140
2800
00:50
And in this video we're gonna focus on two verbs:
18
50940
4460
00:55
'choose' and 'lose'.
19
55400
2740
00:58
Now let's have a look and a few sentences.
20
58140
3440
01:01
First, I made my choice.
21
61580
3500
01:05
I choose spaghetti.
22
65080
2840
01:07
Now the verb 'choose' as you know,
23
67920
3420
01:11
.... and means making a choice.
24
71340
3180
01:14
And the spelling is with double-o. Okay?
25
74520
3380
01:17
There are two O's in the verb 'choose' - present tense.
26
77900
4680
01:22
'I chose pasta, yesterday.'
27
82580
2740
01:25
Now the difference is now it's past tense.
28
85320
3220
01:28
And the verb in its past form only has one 'o' and it's pronounced 'chose'.
29
88540
4820
01:33
Okay, so 'choose' - present tense.
30
93360
2600
01:35
'chose' - past tense.
31
95960
3140
01:39
But then if we take the second
sentence and we say,
32
99100
3780
01:42
I try not to...
33
102880
2680
01:45
... and I suppose you're gonna tell me 'Loes' because there's only one 'o'.
34
105560
4100
01:49
Well, no guys.
35
109660
1120
01:50
I'm sorry English pronunciation is
really hard,
36
110790
4390
01:55
but the sound is the same as 'choose '.
37
115180
3280
01:58
Okay, 'I try not to lose anything
when I travel'.
38
118460
4700
02:03
So there's only one 'o' but it's pronounced lose.
39
123160
5500
02:08
'But I lost my wallet when I went to Egypt'.
40
128660
3640
02:12
This is the past form of 'lose' - 'lost'.
41
132300
4040
02:16
Okay so try and remember -
42
136340
3480
02:19
'choose'
'chose'
43
139820
3420
02:23
So two 'O's - one 'O'.
44
143240
2500
02:25
And 'lose' - 'lost'.
45
145740
2280
02:28
With only one 'O'.
46
148020
2440
02:30
Okay I hope this is clear.
47
150460
2480
02:32
Let's now go back to our spelling test.
48
152940
2920
02:35
Okay guys I know you're gonna do better this time.
49
155860
3600
02:39
So my first verb is 'choose'.
50
159460
4460
02:43
What's the correct spelling?
51
163920
2560
02:46
Number one? Number two?
Or number three?
52
166480
3380
02:49
It's number one of course .
53
169860
3280
02:53
And the second verb is 'lose'.
54
173140
4280
02:57
What's the correct spelling?
55
177420
3060
03:00
Yes good it's number three.
