Hello, everybody. Welcome to this English course.

In today's video, I'm going  to tell you about nouns. 
1
18320
3920
00:22
Because in English, nouns are very important. They are the basic element of a sentence. 
2
22240
5920
00:28
So if you want to speak English, you need to know about the  
3
28720
4080
00:32
different kinds of nouns. And I'm going to try and teach  
4
32800
3680
00:36
you as well as I can. Let's get started! 
5
36480
2880
00:43
Ok, so let's start with concrete nouns. Now in English, concrete nouns  
6
43040
7040
00:50
are people places or things, including animals. 
7
50880
4720
00:56
That you can see, that you can smell, or taste, or hear, or touch. 
8
56320
8000
01:04
So you can basically use your five senses. Let me give you a few examples. 
9
64880
6160
01:11
If we talk about people, 
10
71760
1280
01:13
you could say, a man or a teacher, 
11
73680
3600
01:18
or me, Fanny. Or Mr. Smith. 
12
78560
3520
01:23
If we talk about places, you could say, 
13
83360
3360
01:26
a house, a school. You could name a city like London. 
14
86720
5600
01:33
Very nice city. Or a beach. 
15
93040
2480
01:36
And if you talk about things, you could say a shoe, 
16
96800
3360
01:40
you could say a marker, you could talk about a dog 
17
100720
3840
01:45
or food like a pizza. These are concrete nouns....ok. 
18
105760
5280
01:53
Now let's move on to abstract nouns. So abstract nouns, unlike concrete nouns, 
19
113360
8240
02:02
are ideas, concepts, emotions. And you can't see an idea. 
20
122560
7840
02:10
You can't smell a concept. You can't taste an emotion. 
21
130400
4080
02:15
Or hear it. Or touch it. So they are nouns. They are things that exist, but 
22
135120
6400
02:21
you cannot see them, or taste them. You can't use your five sense. 
23
141520
4320
02:26
To give you a few examples, we could talk about love, 
24
146800
4400
02:31
or time, or religion, 
25
151200
5040
02:36
rules. These are all words that represent 
26
156240
4880
02:41
ideas, concepts... okay They're abstract nouns in English. 
27
161120
4880
02:47
Now, let's get into more detail about nouns. Let's now see the difference between common nouns 
28
167200
7040
02:54
and proper nouns which are  very important in English. 
29
174240
3440
02:58
So common nouns and proper nouns refer to people, places, things,  
30
178720
6800
03:05
ideas. Let's see a few examples. 
31
185520
3040
03:09
We could talk about people for example. A woman. 
32
189680
4000
03:13
That's a common noun. But if we talk about a specific woman, 
33
193680
5280
03:18
for example, me, Fanny. That becomes a proper noun with a capital 'F'. 
34
198960
6960
03:26
because, and you should know this, proper nouns are always capitalized. 
35
206880
4960
03:33
You could talk about places. A city. That's a common noun. 
36
213520
3840
03:38
But then you can name a specific city. Let's take a 
37
218640
3680
03:42
great city, London, of course. With a capital 'L'. 
38
222320
4640
03:46
Remember proper nouns - always capitalized. We can talk about things for 
39
226960
6160
03:53
example. An animal. Let's take a dog. A dog. 
40
233120
3120
03:56
That's a common noun. But if we take a specific dog, like  
41
236240
4560
04:01
Snoopy - capital 'S', that's the proper noun. 
42
241600
4000
04:07
If we talk about things  again, but for example, a car, 
43
247200
4400
04:11
that's a common noun. But if we name the brand,  
44
251600
3760
04:15
the specific brand of the car like Volvo, that's a proper noun. And it takes a capital 'V'. 
45
255360
6320
04:22
And finally, and we can say, a team - common noun. But if we name a specific team, for example, 
46
262880
8560
04:31
the best football team, Manchester United, 
47
271440
2960
04:34
then that's a proper noun and it's capitalized. 
48
274960
3280
04:38
Now mind you, 'team', is a special word because it's called 
49
278800
4320
04:43
a collective noun in English because it refers to a group of people. 
50
283120
4800
04:48
So collective nouns can be used as singular nouns or plural nouns. 
51
288480
5040
04:53
But we will talk about this again later. So now that we know a lot about nouns in English, 
52
293520
6320
04:59
Let's practice finding nouns in a sentence. Okay, first, 
53
299840
6640
05:08
In my class at Oxford  University, I have many friends. 
54
308000
4640
05:13
My best friend is Jan. I have a lot of love for her. 
55
313360
5200
05:19
Jan has a cute dog. Its name is Juju. 
56
319760
4080
05:25
What are the nouns in these sentences? 
57
325360
2560
05:28
If we take the first sentence, In my class at Oxford University,  
58
328720
5520
05:34
I have many friends. We have, class, and friends. 
59
334240
6720
05:41
These are common nouns. We also have a proper noun, Oxford University. 
60
341680
7760
05:49
We know it's a proper noun  because it's capitalized. 
61
349440
3680
05:54
The second sentence is, My best friend is Jen. 
62
354480
4320
06:00
Now in this sentence, the noun is, friend - common noun. 
63
360000
6480
06:07
And there's also the word, Jen, is also a noun but a proper noun. 
64
367600
5680
06:13
As you can see it's capitalized. Then, I have a lot of love for her. 
65
373280
6560
06:21
What noun can you see? Of course, 'love'. 
66
381440
4160
06:25
Remember the abstract noun we talked about a few minutes ago. 
67
385600
4000
06:31
And finally, Jan has a cute dog. Its name is Juju. What nouns can we find? 
68
391040
7280
06:38
We can see, 'Jen', again - proper noun. 'Dog' - common noun. 
69
398960
6080
06:46
But also, 'name', and 'Juju'. 'Name's' a common noun. 
70
406080
5040
06:51
'Juju' is the proper noun. It's capitalized. 
71
411120
3280
06:56
As you probably know, I haven't mentioned, 'I', or 'her', or 'its'. 
72
416480
6560
07:03
They are also nouns, but they are pronouns and they're considered a different  
73
423040
5680
07:08
category in English. We will talk about them in another video . 
74
428720
4920
07:14
Great job guys! Thank you for watching my video.

437920
3920
07:21
Please keep practicing. Practice makes perfect. 
77
441840
3440
07:25

Hello guys! And welcome to this English course on nouns. 
84
485280
4560
08:10
In today’s video, we’re going to  talk about singular and plural nouns.
85
490560
5680
08:16
When you speak English, it’s very important  to know the difference between a singular noun  
86
496800
5840
08:22
and a plural noun. Ok? 
87
502640
2560
08:25
So I will explain to you the different rules. And we will practice together. 
88
505200
4960
08:30
Let’s get started. 
89
510160
1040
08:34
Ok guys, the first you need to know  is that a singular noun means one. 
90
514640
6800
08:42
So, for example, I can say, ‘cat’. ‘a cat’ 
91
522080
5440
08:48
‘one cat’ ‘school’ 
92
528400
2800
08:52
‘a school’ ‘one school’ 
93
532080
1760
08:55
‘team’ Now don’t forget, ‘team’ is a collective noun. 
94
535440
4240
08:59
It’s a group of people, but  still, it’s a singular noun. 
95
539680
4800
09:04
We talk about ‘a team’, or ‘one team. ‘lady’ 
96
544480
4720
09:10
‘monkey’ ‘tomato’ 
97
550400
2560
09:12
‘a tomato’ ‘one tomato’ 
98
552960
2160
09:15
Or ‘piano’. Now, if we talk  
99
555920
3600
09:19
about plural nouns, it means more than one. So for example, two, three, four, or many. 
100
559520
8240
09:28
If we take our words again,  ‘a cat’ becomes ‘cats’. 
101
568880
5520
09:35
‘two cats’ ‘three cats’ 
102
575280
2080
09:38
‘many cats’ ‘school’’ becomes ‘schools’. 
103
578000
4800
09:44
‘team’ becomes ‘teams’. Ok, so you just add an ‘s’. 
104
584400
5760
09:51
Now ‘lady’ becomes ‘ladies. ‘monkey’ becomes ‘monkeys’. 
105
591360
7760
09:59
But, two different rules. As you can see, ‘lady’ is consonant + ‘y’. 
106
599680
6560
10:06
Now when you have consonant + ‘y’, in an  English word, the plural will be ‘ies’. 
107
606800
7600
10:15
‘lady’ ‘ladies’ 
108
615280
2800
10:18
But when you have vowel + ‘y’ like  ‘monkey’, it just becomes ‘monkeys’. 
109
618080
7440
10:25
You simply add an ‘s’. Ok, ‘monkey’ becomes ‘monkeys’. 
110
625520
4560
10:31
‘tomato’ becomes ‘tomatoes’. ‘piano’ ‘pianos’ 
111
631280
4960
10:36
Again, two different rules. Now ‘tomato’ becomes ‘tomatoes’. 
112
636240
6720
10:42
You add ‘es’. And with most words ending in ‘o’,  
113
642960
4720
10:47
so consonant + ‘o’, you will add ‘es’. But sometimes, you will only add ‘s’. 
114
647680
7840
10:56
Like ‘piano’, ‘pianos’. There is no particular rule for this. 
115
656080
6080
11:02
You just need to know the words  that only end with an ‘s’. 
116
662160
3787
11:05
Ok, let’s move on to some pronunciation now. So, when it comes to pronunciation, we have  
117
665947
2773
11:08
three different sounds. The first sound is /s/. 
118
668720
6120
11:15
The second sound is /z/. And the third sounds is /Iz/. 
119
675680
6640
11:23
So let’s review some words together and  be really careful, what sound do you hear? 
120
683600
5600
11:31
‘cats’ ‘cats’ 
121
691360
2880
11:35
What can you hear? /s/ 
122
695200
1800
11:39
Can you repeat after me. ‘cats’ 
123
699680
2640
11:44
‘cats’ The second word is ‘schools’. 
124
704400
5280
11:51
‘schools’ What sound can you hear? 
125
711600
2960
11:55
Of course, /z/. Repeat after me. 
126
715360
3520
12:00
‘schools’ ‘schools’ 
127
720000
2960
12:05
The third words is ‘teams’. 
128
725040
2640
12:09
What sound can you hear? Again, /z/. 
129
729520
3200
12:13
Repeat after me. ‘teams’ 
130
733680
2400
12:18
‘teams’ Then we have ‘ladies’. 
131
738000
4080
12:23
‘ladies’ /z/ 
132
743520
1320
12:26
Repeat after me. ‘ladies’ 
133
746880
3040
12:31
‘ladies’ Then ‘monkeys’. 
134
751600
6240
12:37
/z/ again. Repeat after me. 
135
757840
2320
12:41
‘monkeys’. ‘monkeys’ 
136
761280
2960
12:46
Then we have ‘tomatoes’. Again, it’s the /z/ sound. 
137
766000
6000
12:52
‘tomatoes’ ‘tomatoes’ 
138
772000
3840
12:57
And finally, ‘pianos’. /z/ 
139
777440
3640
13:03
‘pianos’ ‘pianos’ 
140
783360
3440
13:09
Let’s move on to other rules now. Ok guys, let’s now talk about nouns  
141
789280
6320
13:15
that end in ‘s’, ‘sh’, ‘x’, ‘ch’, or ‘z’. Now to make the plural form of these nouns,  
142
795600
9920
13:25
you will add ‘es’. And the sound will be /Iz/. 
143
805520
4560
13:31
Let’s review some words together. ‘bus’ becomes ‘buses’. 
144
811040
6400
13:39
‘bush’ ‘bushes’ ‘fox’ ‘foxes’ 
145
819040
5760
13:46
‘beach’ ‘beaches’ ‘quiz’ ‘quizzes’ 
146
826160
5120
13:52
Can you repeat after me? ‘buses’ ‘buses’ 
147
832640
6560
14:01
‘bushes’ ‘bushes’ ‘foxes’ ‘foxes’ 
148
841760
9520
14:13
‘beaches’ ‘beaches’ ‘quizzes’ ‘quizzes’ 
149
853600
8160
14:24
Let’s move on. Ok, guys. 
150
864160
1920
14:26
Moving on to nouns that end in ‘f’ or ‘fe’. For example, ‘roof’ becomes ‘roofs’. 
151
866720
10080
14:38
‘safe’ ‘safes’ So you simply add an ‘s’. 
152
878160
5680
14:44
Then we have ‘leaf’ that becomes ‘leaves’. Wait a minute. What happened? 
153
884400
6400
14:51
Well, ya, sometimes in English, a word ending  in ‘f’ becomes a word ending in ‘ves’ in plural. 
154
891840
7680
15:00
That’s not a rule. But some words end in ‘ves’,  
155
900080
4240
15:04
you just have to learn them I’m afraid. Another word, ‘wife’. 
156
904320
4960
15:10
And again, ‘ves’. ‘wives’ 
157
910080
3120
15:14
‘shelf’ ‘shelves’ Again, this ‘ves’ ending. 
158
914640
5920
15:20
Now let’s focus on pronunciation. ‘roofs’ 
159
920560
789
15:21
So it’s an /s/ sound. ‘roofs’ 
160
921349
4491
15:27
‘roofs’ Good job. 
161
927120
2960
15:31
‘safes’ ‘safes’ 
162
931520
3760
15:38
Have you heard the /s/ sound? ‘safes’ 
163
938640
2800
15:43
Then we have ‘leaves’. And this time it’s a /z/ sound. 
164
943040
5760
15:48
Repeat after me. 
165
948800
880
15:50
‘leaves’ ‘leaves’ 
166
950880
3760
15:56
Great. Moving on. ‘wives’ 
167
956560
3040
16:02
‘wives’ And finally, 
168
962240
3760
16:07
‘shelves’ 
169
967120
720
16:10
‘shelves’ Great job guys. 
170
970320
4240
16:14
Let’s move on to practice now. Well students, let’s now practice together. 
171
974560
5120
16:19
I’m going to give you a singular noun, and  I want you to try and find the plural form  
172
979680
7120
16:26
of this singular noun. Ok? 
173
986800
2320
16:30
Let’s give it a try. The first word is ‘baby’. 
174
990080
5760
16:36
‘baby’ Don’t forget, it ends with consonant + ‘y’. 
175
996400
7040
16:43
Do you remember the rule? It’s ‘babies’ with ‘ies’. 
176
1003440
7520
16:50
Very nice. ‘baby’ ‘babies’ 
177
1010960
2880
16:54
The second word is ‘toy’. Hmmm, vowel + ‘y’. 
178
1014800
6640
17:02
So this time, ‘toys’. You simply add an ‘s’. 
179
1022240
4880
17:08
Then we have ‘wish’. Wish is a word that ends in ‘sh’. 
180
1028480
6720
17:15
Remember the rule. ‘wishes’ 
181
1035920
3120
17:19
You add ‘es’. ‘taxi’ becomes ‘taxis’. 
182
1039040
7760
17:26
You simply add an ‘s’. ‘choice’ ‘choices’ 
183
1046800
6320
17:33
Simply add an ‘s’ as well. Then we have the word ‘wolf’. 
184
1053760
4960
17:38
Aha! It’s a word ending in ‘f’. 
185
1058720
4400
17:44
Is it a word with ‘ves’? It is. 
186
1064640
3840
17:49
‘wolves’ And finally, 
187
1069360
2800
17:52
‘photo’ Now remember the words ending in ‘o’? 
188
1072800
3760
17:57
You can add ‘es’ or simply ‘s’. Well with photo, you simply add an ‘s’. 
189
1077440
7040
18:05
‘photos’ Now if we focus on pronunciation now. 
190
1085280
2240
18:07
Repeat the words after me. ‘babies’ 
191
1087520
4000
18:12
The sound is /z/ ‘babies’ 
192
1092480
3600
18:18
‘toys’ ‘toys’ 
193
1098400
3600
18:24
‘wishes’ Remember this /Iz/ sound? 
194
1104720
3120
18:28
Repeat after me. ‘wishes’ 
195
1108640
2640
18:33
‘taxis’ ‘taxis’ 
196
1113600
3600
18:39
‘choices’ ‘choices’ 
197
1119680
3520
18:45
‘wolves’ ‘wolves’ 
198
1125520
3440
18:50
And finally, ‘photos’ ‘photos’ 
199
1130960
5440
18:58

Hello, guys. Welcome to this English course on nouns. 
232
1338240
4080
22:23
In today’s video, I’m going to tell  you about irregular plural nouns. 
233
1343200
5920
22:30
Now there are crazy ways of  making plural forms in English. 
234
1350240
4320
22:34
And there are a lot of irregular forms. I want you to know about them,  
235
1354560
4800
22:39
so let’s get started. 
236
1359360
1280
22:45
Again, guys, there are so many  irregular plural forms in English. 
237
1365360
4960
22:50
And I’m afraid there are no particular rules. You just need to learn the words. 
238
1370960
6320
22:57
But I’m going to try and tell  you about the most common ones. 
239
1377280
4400
23:01
Ok? Let’s review some words together. 
240
1381680
3120
23:05
Ok, so, for example. We have a singular noun  
241
1385440
4080
23:09
which is ‘woman’. It’s plural form is ‘women’. 
242
1389520
5520
23:16
‘woman’ ‘women’ Then we have ‘man’. 
243
1396640
4080
23:21
The singular noun, ‘a man’, it becomes ‘men’. ‘a child’ becomes ‘children’ 
244
1401600
8800
23:31
‘a tooth’ ‘teeth’ ‘a foot’ becomes ‘feet’ 
245
1411840
6640
23:39
‘a person’ becomes ‘people’. ‘a mouse’ becomes ‘mice’ 
246
1419520
7520
23:48
Ok, let’s move on to pronunciation now. Well students, let’s work on pronunciation a bit. 
247
1428640
3120
23:51
Please repeat after me. ‘woman’ ‘woman’ 
248
1431760
7280
24:01
‘women’ ‘women’ 
249
1441840
3520
24:08
Good. ‘man’ ‘man’ 
250
1448320
6240
24:17
‘men’ ‘men’ 
251
1457120
3360
24:24
‘child’ ‘child’ ‘children’ ‘children’ 
252
1464560
10560
24:37
Very good guys. Moving on. 
253
1477840
2240
24:41
‘tooth’ ‘tooth’ ‘teeth’ ‘teeth’ 
254
1481520
10400
24:55
‘foot’ ‘foot’ ‘feet’ ‘feet’ 
255
1495200
10080
25:08
‘person’ ‘person’ ‘people’  
256
1508480
6880
25:18
‘people’ Very good guys. 
257
1518080
4160
25:22
And the last one. ‘mouse’ ‘mouse’ 
258
1522240
5920
25:30
‘mice’ ‘mice’ 
259
1530960
3920
25:38
Excellent, guys. Let’s now move on to other irregular plural forms. 
260
1538000
4880
25:42
Now there are words that have the  exact same singular and plural forms. 
261
1542880
5760
25:49
They are not common, but you need to know a few. Let’s take a look together. 
262
1549280
6560
25:56
As you can see, ‘sheep’ is the singular form. But the plural form is not ‘sheeps’. 
263
1556560
7920
26:05
It is ‘sheep’. Same goes for ‘deer’ ‘deer’. 
264
1565360
6160
26:13
‘moose’ ‘moose’ ‘fish’ ‘fish’ 
265
1573120
5040
26:19
‘aircraft’ ‘aircraft’ Ok, so you will say, “I see one sheep.” 
266
1579120
6880
26:26
But also, “I see two sheep.” The exact same word. 
267
1586960
5920
26:32
Ok, let’s go back for pronunciation. I want you to repeat after me. 
268
1592880
2880
26:37
‘sheep’ ‘sheep’ ‘deer’ ‘deer’ 
269
1597680
8960
26:49
‘moose’ ‘moose’ ‘fish’ ‘fish’ 
270
1609280
8640
27:00
‘aircraft’ ‘aircraft’ 
271
1620480
5360
27:07
Good job guys. Let’s move to other irregular forms. 
272
1627120
4160
27:12
Some nouns are never singular. We always use their plural forms. 
273
1632320
5840
27:19
I have a few common ones for you guys. Let’s have a look. 
274
1639280
3280
27:24
‘jeans’ ‘pants’ 
275
1644400
2480
27:28
‘glasses’ ‘sunglasses’ 
276
1648560
2960
27:32
‘clothes’ ‘scissors’ 
277
1652960
2320
27:36
‘pajamas’ So you will say,  
278
1656560
3120
27:40
“I have some jeans.” Or, “I have scissors.” 
279
1660400
4800
27:46
But you cannot say, “I have a jean.” It is incorrect in English. 
280
1666240
6640
27:52
Let’s work a bit on pronunciation. Repeat after me, please. 
281
1672880
2800
27:56
‘jeans’ ‘jeans’ ‘pants’ ‘pants’ 
282
1676880
9600
28:09
‘glasses’ ‘glasses’ ‘sunglasses’ ‘sunglasses’ 
283
1689360
10080
28:21
‘clothes’ ‘clothes’ ‘scissors’ ‘scissors’ 
284
1701760
10240
28:34
And finally, ‘pajamas’ ‘pajamas’ 
285
1714240
5440
28:42
Good guys. Let’s now look at other irregular plural forms. 
286
1722240
4560
28:47
Now, just a few words about nouns in  English that have Latin and Greek origins. 
287
1727680
7360
28:56
Their plural forms are very weird. It’s a bit complicated, so we’re  
288
1736080
5600
29:01
not going to into too much detail. Don’t worry too much about them. 
289
1741680
3920
29:06
But just a few words that I think you should know. First, we have words ending in ‘a’. 
290
1746400
7200
29:14
Their plural form will end in ‘ae’. For example, 
291
1754720
5360
29:20
‘antenna’ becomes ‘antennae’ ‘alumna’ ‘alumnae’ 
292
1760880
6640
29:30
Words ending in ‘us’, us, will end in ‘i’. ‘octopus’ ‘octopi’ 
293
1770000
10080
29:40
‘cactus’ ‘cacti’ Words ending in ‘is’, will end in ‘es’. 
294
1780080
8960
29:50
‘is’ becomes ‘es’. For example, ‘analysis’ ‘analyses’ 
295
1790080
7120
29:58
‘diagnosis’ ‘diagnoses’ And finally, words ending in ‘on’, end in ‘a’. 
296
1798640
9200
30:08
‘criterion’ ‘criteria’ ‘phenomenon’ ‘phenomena’ 
297
1808640
6320
30:17
These plural forms are very difficult, guys. Even native speakers make a lot of mistakes,  
298
1817280
6880
30:24
so don’t worry too much about them. I just wanted to give you a little  
299
1824160
5280
30:29
taste of Latin and Greek plurals. Let’s move on to example sentences now. 
300
1829440
7600
30:37
Ok, guys. I have a few example sentences for you. 
301
1837840
4080
30:41
It’s a great opportunity to practice  saying irregular plural forms in English. 
302
1841920
6080
30:48
Be very careful to use  proper pronunciation as well. 
303
1848880
3360
30:52
Let’s start. First,  
304
1852800
2880
30:56
‘my sister has one child’ ‘my  brother has two children’. 
305
1856880
5360
31:03
Repeat after me. ‘my sister has one child’  
306
1863200
5040
31:11
‘my brother has two children’. Next. 
307
1871520
8880
31:21
‘I’m a quiet person, so I  don’t talk to many people.’ 
308
1881680
4400
31:27
Please repeat after me. ‘I’m a quiet person,  
309
1887200
4640
31:34
so I don’t talk to many people.’ 
310
1894960
2560
31:42
Good guys. Next sentence. 
311
1902880
2960
31:46
‘Did you catch one fish or two fish at the lake?’ 
312
1906720
4320
31:53
Repeat after me, please. ‘Did you catch one fish or two fish at the lake?’ 
313
1913600
10720
32:10
Very good. Next sentence. 
314
1930320
3520
32:14
‘I have one pair of glasses  and two pairs of sunglasses.’ 
315
1934480
5280
32:21
Repeat after me. ‘I have one pair of glasses  
316
1941120
6720
32:30
and two pairs of sunglasses.’ 
317
1950240
2960
32:38
Excellent, guys. And finally, 
318
1958800
3280
32:42
‘He has one cactus in his front yard,  
319
1962080
13760
33:00
but many cacti in his back yard.’ Repeat after me. 
320
1980320
3549
33:03
‘He has one cactus in his front yard,  but many cacti in his back yard.’ 
321
1983869
2012
33:05
Ok, students. I hope you repeated after me. 
322
1985881
1126
33:07
And you practiced your pronunciation. 
323
1987007
993
33:08
I hope you now have a better understanding of  
324
1988000
3120
33:11
irregular plural forms in English. There are many of them.
325
1991120
3840
33:15
Not many rules to follow. A lot of words to memorize. 
326
1995600
4240
33:19
But, I’m sure with a little  bit of practice, you can do it. 
327
1999840

Hello guys, welcome back to  this English course on nouns. 
334
2042720
4240
34:07
In today’s video, I’m going to  tell you about compound nouns. 
335
2047520
5120
34:12
They are very common in English  and there are thousands of them. 
336
2052640
3840
34:16
You need to know about them. Let’s get started. 
337
2056480
3360
34:23
A compound noun is made up of two different words. So you take two words, you put them together,  
338
2063440
7120
34:31
to create a new noun. They’re usually quite easy to understand. 
339
2071120
4560
34:36
For example, ‘full moon’. 
340
2076400
2000
34:39
‘Full’ is obviously the  adjective describing the moon. 
341
2079520
3680
34:44
Let’s take a look at other examples,  and how to create compound nouns. 
342
2084400
4800
34:50
Sometimes, compound nouns are a single noun. Like, ‘toothpaste’. 
343
2090560
5440
34:57
Sometimes, they’re two or more words hyphenated. Such as ‘mother-in-law’. 
344
2097200
6240
35:04
And sometimes, they’re two  separate words, like ‘ice cream’. 
345
2104480
4240
35:09
Now, you have to be careful. Sometimes, you have a simple  
346
2109920
4640
35:14
adjective plus a noun like ‘a green house’. But you also have a compound noun which is  
347
2114560
7600
35:22
a different meaning. ‘A greenhouse’. 
348
2122160
2800
35:24
Now, ‘a green house’, is a house which is green. But the compound noun, ‘a greenhouse’,  
349

is a place where you grow plants. Completely different meaning. 
350
2134320
4240
35:39
Ok, so you have to be careful. Stresses can help. 
351
2139120
4960
35:44
Usually the stress is on the  first syllable in compound nouns. 
352
2144080
4320
35:49
Ok, I hope you get it guys. Let’s take a closer look now at compound nouns. 
353
2149600
5680
35:55
Ok, let’s now take a look at the parts  of speech that make up a compound noun. 
354
2155840
5200
36:02
We can have a noun and another noun. Like, ‘bedroom’. 
355
2162800
4880
36:08
We can also have a noun and a verb. Like, ‘haircut’. 
356
2168720
4400
36:14
A noun and a preposition. Like, ‘passer-by’. 
357
2174480
4480
36:20
A verb and a noun. Like, ‘washing machine’. 
358
2180320
4000
36:25
A verb and a preposition. Like, ‘drawback’. 
359
2185680
3600
36:30
A preposition and a noun. Like, ‘underground’. 
360
2190640
3440
36:35
An adjective and a ver. Like, ‘dry-cleaning’. 
361
2195040
3120
36:39
An adjective and a noun. Like, ‘software’. 
362
2199280
4080
36:44
Or a preposition and a verb. Like, ‘input’. 
363
2204960
3280
36:51
As you can see guys, there are so many ways  to create compound nouns with different words. 
364
2211040
5520
36:57
Now let’s get back to our  example for pronunciation. 
365
2217360
3360
37:01
Please repeat after me. Bedroom 
366
2221360
3600
37:07

2227440

Good job guys. Now let’s now move on to plural compound nouns. 
376
2285440
4720
38:11
So when we want to make compound nouns  plural, there are rules to follow. 
377
2291280
6800
38:18
If you have a single word, you simply add an ‘s’. But if you have separate words,  
378
2298080
7440
38:25
whether hyphenated or not, you will  make the most significant word plural. 
379
2305520
6320
38:33
Let’s take a look at examples. 
380
2313120
1600
38:36
‘Newspaper’ will simply be ‘newspapers’. So I have man newspapers. 
381
2316560
6640
38:45
Swimming pool. Now, what’s the most significant word? 
382
2325280
4560
38:50
Well, it is ‘pool’. So we will say, ‘there are two swimming pools’. 
383
2330800
6000
38:57
You cannot say, ‘there are two swimmings pools.’ No ‘s’ at swimming. 
384
2337360
6560
39:05
Brother-in-law What’s the most significant word? 
385
2345760
3360
39:09
Well of course, it is ‘brother’. So you will say, “I have two brothers-in-law”. 
386
2349840
6480
39:18
And finally, ‘woman doctor’. Now, what’s the most significant word? 
387
2358400
5360
39:24
Actually, both words are significant. So we will both make them plural. 
388
2364800
7200
39:32
Remember, the plural form of ‘woman’ is ‘women’. So we will say, “Four women doctors work  
389
2372880
9360
39:42
at the hospital”. Let’s work on pronunciation. 
390
2382240
3600
39:45
Can you repeat after me, please. I have man newspapers. 
391
2385840
5200
39:54
I have man newspapers. 
392
2394320
2560
40:01
There are two swimming pools. There are two swimming pools. 
393
2401760
8080
40:12
I have two brothers-in-law. I have two brothers-in-law. 
394
2412960
7120
40:22
And finally, Four women doctors work at the hospital. 
395
2422480
4960
40:30
Four women doctors work at the hospital. 
396
2430160
3360
40:37
Good job guys. Now let’s move on to practice. 
397
2437280
3440
40:42
To practice, I have a few sentences. And I want you to tell me if we are using  
398
2442000
5440
40:47
compound nouns or not. Let’s take a look. 
399
2447440
4400
40:53
I want to drink some cold water. Is ‘cold water’ a compound noun? 
400
2453280
6640
41:00
What do you think? It isn’t. 
401
2460720
2960
41:04
‘Cold’ is a simply adjective describing the water. 
402
2464480
3760
41:10
She has a new boy friend. Is boy friend a compound noun? 
403
2470080
5920
41:17
Well, it isn’t in this case. He’s your friend and he’s a boy. 
404
2477280
4960
41:22
But the compound noun, ‘boyfriend’, in one  word, exists and has a different meaning. 
405
2482880
5920
41:29
Then, your boyfriend is more than a friend. He’s the boy you’re having a relationship with. 
406
2489440
5280
41:36
Other example. The blue bird was singing in the tree. 
407
2496880
4720
41:42
Is ‘blue bird’ a compound noun? Not in this case. 
408
2502720
5440
41:48
It’s a simple bird and it’s blue. But, the compound noun, ‘bluebird’,  
409
2508160
5360
41:53
in one word, exists. It’s a specific bird. 
410
2513520
3840
41:59
Let’s meet at the bus stop. Is ‘bus stop’ a compound noun? 
411
2519440
5520
42:06
What do you think? It is. 
412
2526240
3040
42:12
I have two alarms clock. 
413
2532080
2000
42:15
What about ‘alarms clock’? Well, it is a compound noun,  
414
2535120
4800
42:19
but there is a big mistake. Can you see it? 
415
2539920
3040
42:24
Of course, the plural form. The plural form is not ‘alarms clock’. 
416
2544480
5600
42:30
But, ‘alarm clocks’. Because the most significant word is ‘clock’. 
417
2550080
5360
42:37
Ok guys, let’s move on. Thank you for watching. 
418
2557200
3760
42:40
I hope you better understand compound  nouns and how to create them. 
419
2560960
5200
42:46
There are so many compound  nouns in the English language,  
420
2566160
3680
42:49
but they are usually very easy to understand. 
421
2569840
3200
42:53
And if you’re not sure,  look it up in a dictionary. 
422
2573040
3360
42:56
The dictionary will tell you  if it’s a compound noun or not. 
423
2576400
4080
43:01
Thank you for watching guys. And see you in the next videos.

Hello, guys. Welcome back to this English course on nouns. 
428
2615360
4480
43:40
In this video, I’m going to tell you  about countable and uncountable nouns. 
429
2620480
5600
43:46
It’s very important to know the  difference between countable  
430
2626960
4080
43:51
and uncountable nouns in English. And students often get confused. 
431
2631040
5680
43:56
So please listen to me very carefully. Let’s get started. 
432
2636720
4080
44:04
Countable nouns are nouns that you can count. 
433
2644720
3600
44:09
Uncountable nouns are nouns that you can’t count. They’re usually a type or a group. 
434
2649760
6800
44:16
And they’re always singular. Let’s look at a few examples. 
435
2656560
5280
44:22
Countable nouns – you can say, “a dog.” You can say, “one dog,” “two  
436
2662880
16320
44:39
dogs,” “three dogs,” and so on. “Man.” 
437
2679200
1516
44:40
You can say, “a man.” “Two men.” 
438
2680716
296
44:41
“Idea.” You can say, “one idea,” “two ideas,” and so on. 
439
2681012
508
44:41
“Computer.” Again, you can say, “one computer, two computers.” 
440
2681520
4320
44:46
And, “house.” Well, you can say, “one house, two houses,  
441
2686960
5120
44:52
three houses,” and so on. These are countable nouns. 
442
2692080
4000
44:56
You can count them. But if we look at uncountable nouns. 
443
2696080
4640
45:01
When you say, “water.” You can’t say, “One water, two waters.” 
444
2701360
5600
45:07
It doesn’t make any sense. You cannot count water. 
445
2707760
3760
45:12
Same goes for air. You can’t say, “one air, two airs.” 
446
2712480
4240
45:17
It’s just ‘air’. It’s uncountable. 
447
2717760
2400
45:21
‘traffic’ ‘English’ 
448
2721360
2240
45:24
‘Equipment’ These are all uncountable nouns. 
449
2724400
3840
45:28
You cannot count them And they’re always singular. 
450
2728240
3600
45:33
Okay, guys. Now, let’s take a closer look at rules with  
451
2733600
4720
45:38
countable nouns and uncountable nouns. So how do we know if a word  
452
2738320
4560
45:42
is countable or uncountable? Well there are a few tricks that can help. 
453
2742880
5440
45:49
Let’s look at these words. Some groups of words are very often uncountable. 
454
2749040
7360
45:56
And this can help you. For example, liquids. 
455
2756400
3680
46:01
Water, juice, milk, beer. All those words are uncountable. 
456
2761200
6000
46:08
Powders. Sugar, flour, salt, rice. 
457
2768560
5520
46:14
Uncountable words as well. Materials. Such as wood, plastic, metal, or paper. 
458
2774960
8080
46:24
Food as well. Like fruit, meat, cheese, and bread. 
459
2784640
5760
46:31
And finally, abstract ideas. Like time, information, love, and beauty. 
460
2791760
8400
46:41
Another trick is that most of the time,  you can measure uncountable nouns. 
461
2801440
6720
46:49
Let’s look at examples. For example, if we take liquids. 
462
2809520
4480
46:54
I have two liters of milk. Now, you cannot count milk. 
463
2814800
5600
47:01
But you can measure milk. And you can count liters. 
464
2821200
4560
47:05
So you can say, “I have two liters of milk.” You can say, “I have a glass of water.” 
465
2825760
7520
47:14
Or “I have glasses of water.” “Cups of coffee.” 
466
2834160
4800
47:20
“Bottles of water.” So you can measure this uncountable noun. 
467
2840080
5600
47:26
Same goes with powders. “I have one kilogram of sugar.” 
468
2846640
5760
47:33
“Two kilograms of sugar.” With materials and foods,  
469
2853120
4880
47:38
we often use the word, ‘piece’. For example, “I ate two pieces of cake.” 
470
2858560
6960
47:46
Or bread. Or pizza. 
471
2866240
2000
47:48
Or meat. Or cheese. 
472
2868880
3280
47:52
“I need pieces of paper.” Wood. 
473
2872160
3920
47:56
Plastic. Metal. 
474
2876720
1680
47:59
Or “I have some water.” ‘Some’ is an article that always  
475
2879760
6320
48:06
works with uncountable nouns. Ok guys, I hope you understand. 
476
2886080
5840
48:11
Let’s move on. Some words can be both countable  
477
2891920
4720
48:16
and uncountable nouns. Now not all of them. 
478
2896640
4160
48:20
But some of them. Let’s take a look. 
479
2900800
2640
48:25
“I would like to eat some cake.” “I would like two pieces of cake.” 
480
2905040
7120
48:32
So in these two sentences, ‘cake’  is obviously and uncountable noun. 
481
2912160
4960
48:38
But if I say, “I would like to eat two cakes.” Suddenly, it becomes a countable noun. 
482
2918240
7040
48:46
Why? Because in the first two sentences,  
483
2926000
4160
48:50
we are talking about pieces of one cake. In the last sentence,  
484
2930160
6320
48:57
we are considering the whole cake. So it becomes countable. 
485
2937280
5600
49:04
Another example. “I would like to eat some chicken.” 
486
2944560
4400
49:09
“I would like to eat a piece of chicken.” Both sentences, uncountable noun, ‘chicken’. 
487
2949760
7200
49:17
But the last sentence, “I see two chickens.” Hmm, ‘chicken’, in this case, is a countable noun. 
488
2957760
8000
49:26
Why? Because  
489
2966640
1680
49:28
in the first two sentences, ‘chicken’ is food. But in the last sentence, ‘chicken’ is an animal. 
490
2968320
8880
49:38
So the animal is a countable noun. ‘Chicken’ as food is uncountable. 
491
2978080
5760
49:44
Hope you get it. Let’s move on to example sentences now. 
492
2984720
3760
49:49
Let’s now review a few example  sentences, so you can practice  
493
2989440
4000
49:53
using countable and uncountable nouns. Please repeat after me. 
494
2993440
13120
50:06
And be careful to use proper pronunciation. Let’s get started. 
495
3006560
911
50:07
First sentence guys. “I put one hundred  
496
3007471
4769
50:18
candles on six cakes.” Please repeat after me. 
497
3018080
3423
50:21
“I put one hundred candles on six cakes.” “I put one hundred candles on six cakes.” 
498
3021503
3377
50:24
Good job. Second example. 
499

2160
50:28
“I ate two pieces of cake.” 
500
3028000
15280
50:48
Please repeat after me. “I ate two pieces of cake.” 
501
3048080
9227

503
3057355

51:03
“I saw some trash on all the streets.” “I saw some trash on all the streets.” 
504
3063520
4320
51:11
Very good. Next one. 
505
3071840
1840
51:14
“I need to buy some milk and  some butter from the market.” 
506
3074880
3920
51:19
Please repeat after me. 
507
3079920
1920
51:22
“I need to buy some milk and  some butter from the market.” 
508
3082800
5200
51:32
“I need to buy some milk and  some butter from the market.” 
509
3092960
5040
51:42
And finally. “Traffic and pollution  
510
3102560
3440
51:46
are problems in many cities.” Repeat after me. 
511
3106000
3840
51:50
“Traffic and pollution are  problems in many cities.” 
512
3110640
4880
52:00
“Traffic and pollution are  problems in many cities.” 
513
3120640
4400
52:11
Good job guys. I hope you repeated after  
514
3131680
1383
52:13
me and worked on your pronunciation. Thank you for watching this video. 
515
3133063
2777
52:15
I hope you now have a better  understanding of countable  
516
3135840
3360
52:19
and uncountable nouns. I know it’s hard,  
517
3139200
3760
52:22
but don’t worry, keep practicing. Practice makes perfect.

Hello, guys. And welcome to this English course on adjectives. 
523
3187920
4160
53:12
In today’s video, I’m going to tell you  everything there is to know about adjectives. 
524
3192880
5200
53:18
And what they are exactly. The best way to describe  
525
3198080
4480
53:22
an adjective in English is to say that it’s a word that describes or clarifies a noun. 
526
3202560
7120
53:30
It gives you information on people,  things, ideas, nouns, or pronouns. 
527
3210240
7680
53:38
It is very important to  understand what adjectives are 
528
3218720
4160
53:42
and to know how to use them. Because they are essential when you speak English. 
529
3222880
4640
53:48
Let’s get started. 
530
3228400
1040
53:53
Adjectives give us so much  information about nouns. 
531
3233440
3440
53:57
Let’s, for example, take a common noun, ‘cup’. And see how many ways there  
532
3237520
6160
54:03
are in English to describe a cup using different kinds of adjectives. 
533
3243680
4880
54:08
Let’s see. We can say,  
534
3248560
2720
54:12
“It’s a great cup.” Just give your opinion. 
535
3252000
4160
54:17
“It’s a big cup.” Talking  about the size of the cup. 
536
3257280
3840
54:21
If you want to talk about the  shape of the cup you could say, 
537
3261840
3280
54:25
“It’s a round cup.” “It’s an old cup.” 
538
3265120
4720
54:29
If you want to talk about age. Or if you want to say what colour it is, 
539
3269840
5200
54:35
“It’s a white cup.” Or talking about temperature, 
540
3275040
4160
54:39
“It’s a cold cup.” “It’s a broken cup.” If you make observations. 
541
3279200
5760
54:45
“It’s a Korean cup.” Talking about origins. Or you can mention the material. 
542
3285680
5600
54:51
“It’s a plastic cup.” Or “It’s a coffee cup.”  
543
3291280
4480
54:55
Talking about the purpose of the cup. Now ‘coffee’ as you know is a noun. 
544
3295760
5360
55:01
But in this case, it can be used as an adjective. All these adjectives are places before the noun. 
545
3301120
8640
55:11
Let’s learn more about adjectives. Adjectives can found before the noun. 
546
3311200
5840
55:17
It’s called the attribute position. Or after the noun. 
547
3317040
5440
55:22
Which is called the predicative position. And it’s just as common. 
548
3322480
4560
55:28
Adjectives which are found after a  verb, describe the subject of this verb. 
549
3328160
6880
55:35
Usually a noun or a pronoun. So if we take the sentence, “The girl is nice.” 
550
3335040
6560
55:42
The adjective, ‘nice’, refers to the  subject of the sentence, ‘the girl’. 
551
3342160
6560
55:49
But it is placed after the verb ‘to be’. “My students are happy.” 
552
3349280
6000
55:55
Same thing. The adjective, ‘happy’, describes  
553
3355280
4080
55:59
the subject of the sentence, ‘my students’. But it is placed after the verb. 
554
3359360
5440
56:05
I hope you understand guys. Let’s move on to practice now. 
555
3365600
3520
56:09
Let’s now practice finding  adjectives in a few sentences. 
556
3369680
4560
56:15
“I’m a tall woman.” Can you see the adjective in this sentence? 
557
3375760
5120
56:22
I hope you can. The adjective is ‘tall’. 
558
3382000
4080
56:26
It gives you the height of the woman. 
559
3386080
2160
56:29
“I’m a British woman.” Now where is the adjective? 
560
3389600
4560
56:35
The adjective is ‘British’. Gives you the origins of this woman. 
561
3395600
4320
56:41
“I have blonde hair.” Now what’s the adjective in this sentence? 
562
3401280
5120
56:47
Of course guys, it is ‘blonde’. It gives you the color of the hair. 
563
3407200
4640
56:53
“My eyes are blue.” Now that’s a different sentence. 
564
3413440
4000
56:57
Can you spot the adjective? The adjective is ‘blue. 
565
3417440
7120
57:05
What’s blue? My eyes. 
566
3425920
1840
57:07
‘My eyes’ is the subject of the sentence and the adjective is ‘blue’. 
567
3427760
4720
57:13
“I’m nice.” Again, can you spot the adjective? 
568
3433760
4720
57:19
It’s ‘nice’. Okay? 
569
3439600
2320
57:22
And finally, “The weather is cold.” 
570
3442800
3040
57:26
What’s the adjective? 
571
3446800
1280
57:28
Where is it? Can you see it? 
572
3448080
1600
57:31
The adjective is ‘cold’. What’s cold? 
573
3451360
3280
57:34
The weather. ‘The weather’ is the  
574
3454640
1600
57:36
subject and the adjective is ‘cold’. Now in the first three sentences,  
575
3456240
5440
57:42
it’s the attribute position. Remember? 
576
3462640
3200
57:45
The adjective comes before the noun. And in the last three sentences, it’s  
577
3465840
6880
57:52
the predicative position. Remember? 
578
3472720
2800
57:55
The adjective comes after the noun. And in this case, after the verb ‘to be’. 
579
3475520
6320
58:03
I hope you understand this. 
580
3483520
1840
58:06
Good job. Okay, guys. 
581
3486880
849
58:07
Let’s go through the sentences again. This time focusing on pronunciation. 
582
3487729
75
58:07
It’s very important that you  repeat the sentences after me 
583
3487804
60
58:07
to practice saying these adjectives in a sentence. Okay, let’s get started. 
584
3487864
1096
58:10
“I’m a tall woman.” Can you repeat after me? 
585
3490560
3920
58:15
Twice. First, “I’m  
586
3495280
3160
58:26
a tall woman.” “I’m a tall woman.” 
587
3506160
5520
58:31
Very good. Moving on. 
588
3511680

590
3530907
3733
58:54
Good. Third sentence 
591

592
3537680
2960
59:00
please. “I  
593

594
3551680
5840
59:17
Very good. “My eyes are blue.” 
595
3557520

3581760
1348
59:43
“My eyes are blue.” Next one. 
597
3583108
652
59:43
“I’m nice.” Repeat after me. 
598
3583760
5280
59:49
“I’m nice.” “I’m nice.” 
599
3589040
4640
59:53
Good job. And finally, 
600
3593680
1920
59:56
“The weather is cold.” Please repeat. 
601
3596160
12880

Hello, guys. 
609
3660160
960
61:01
Welcome to this English course on adjectives. In today’s video, I’m going to talk about  
610
3661120
6720
61:07
prefixes and suffixes that are commonly  added to adjectives in English. 
611
3667840
5840
61:14
A prefix is a few letters added to a beginning  of a word to change the meaning of that word. 
612
3674800
8560
61:23
And a suffix is a few letters added to  the end of the word to change the meaning. 
613
3683360
6320
61:30
We’ll get more into detail. Let’s get started. 
614
3690720
2480
61:36
Let’s take a look at a few  adjectives with prefixes. 
615
3696720
4080
61:40
Again a ‘prefix’ is a few letters added  to the beginning of the adjective. 
616
3700800
5840
61:46
Mostly to make it negative. Let’s take a look at a few examples. 
617
3706640
5200
61:52
First we have the prefix ‘un’. U, n. For example, if we take the word, ‘fair’, and  
618
3712640
8560
62:01
want to make it negative, we can add u – n to have  the word ‘unfair’ which is the opposite of fair. 
619
3721200
8080
62:10
Same goes for ‘happy’. ‘unhappy’ 
620
3730560
3440
62:15
‘sure’ become ‘unsure’. 
621
3735200
2720
62:19
Another prefix is i –n , ‘in’. To make the adjective negative, again, 
622
3739520
6720
62:26
For example, ‘active’ – ‘inactive’. ‘appropriate’ 
623
3746880
5760
62:33
’inappropriate’ ‘complete’ 
624
3753680
2800
62:37
‘incomplete’ The prefix i –r now, ‘ir’. 
625
3757760
6160
62:45
For example, ‘responsible’ 
626
3765040
2800
62:48
‘irresponsible’ ‘regular’ 
627
3768560
3040
62:52
‘irregular’ ‘rational’ 
628
3772880
3040
62:57
‘irrational’ 
629
3777280
720
63:00
Then we have the prefix i –m, ‘im’. For example, 
630
3780720
4000
63:05
‘balance’ ‘imbalance’ 
631
3785360
2480
63:09
‘polite’ ‘impolite’ 
632
3789040
2560
63:12
‘possible’ ‘impossible’ 
633
3792960
2880
63:17
And finally, the prefix, ‘il’. I – l. 
634
3797840
3520
63:22
Like, ‘legal’ ‘illegal’ 
635
3802640
3280
63:27
‘literate’ ‘illiterate’ 
636
3807440
2400
63:31
‘logical’ ‘illogical’ 
637
3811440
2560
63:37
These are just a few examples, guys. There are so many other prefixes in English. 
638
3817440
5840
63:43
But I hope you now have a better understanding. 
639
3823280
2240
63:46
Let’s move on. Let’s now talk about suffixes. 
640
3826480
3200
63:50
In English, you can add a few letters to a  noun or a verb to make it into an adjective. 
641
3830240
8080
63:58
Not necessarily a negative adjective. It’s not like prefixes. 
642
3838320
3920
64:03
There are so many suffixes in English,  but here is a list of very common ones. 
643
3843120
5760
64:10
We can find a suffix ‘able’. Like, ‘adorable’. 
644
3850240
3600
64:14
‘comfortable’ Also the suffix  
645
3854400
3360
64:18
‘en’, e – n. Like, ‘broken’. 
646
3858800
3040
64:22
‘golden’ ‘ese’ 
647
3862560
3040
64:25
Like, ‘Chinese’. ‘Japanese’ 
648
3865600
2400
64:29
‘ful’ Like, ‘wonderful’. 
649
3869360
2240
64:32
‘powerful’ ‘ative’ 
650
3872400
2880
64:36
Like, ‘informative’. ‘talkative’ 
651
3876000
4160
64:40
‘ous’ ‘dangerous’ 
652
3880160
2240
64:43
‘enormous’ Or ‘some’. 
653
3883200
2960
64:46
Like, ‘awesome’. ‘handsome’ 
654
3886960
2480
64:51
Again, these are just a few examples. There are so many suffixes. 
655
3891200
5280
64:56
But I hope you now have a good idea  of how to use suffixes in English. 
656
3896480
5120
65:02
Let’s now move on to practice. 
657
3902160
1600
65:04
Okay, guys. Let’s practice finding  
658
3904400
3040
65:07
adjectives in the following sentences. And prefixes or suffixes. 
659
3907440
5920
65:14
Let’s have a look. “I have an uncomfortable seat.” 
660
3914000
5280
65:20
Now, can you spot the adjective, first? Of course, the adjective here is ‘uncomfortable’. 
661
3920800
6240
65:28
Can you see any prefix or suffix? 
662
3928240
2960
65:32
I do. There is a prefix, which is ‘un’. 
663
3932400
4000
65:37
And there is a suffix as well. The suffix, ‘able’. 
664
3937280
3680
65:41
Okay, so look at how we transformed the word. The first word was ‘comfort’ in English. 
665
3941520
7440
65:49
First, we added a suffix to make it into  an adjective, which is ‘comfortable’. 
666
3949600
5600
65:56
And then we added a prefix,  ‘un’, to make it negative. 
667
3956080
5360
66:01
So the seat is not comfortable,  it is uncomfortable. 
668
3961440
4560
66:06
That’s how prefixes and  suffixes can be used in English. 
669
3966640
4000
66:11
The second sentence, “She has a black car.” Can you spot the adjective, first. 
670
3971520
8000
66:19
Of course, it’s the adjective ‘black’. Is there a suffix or a prefix? 
671
3979520
5440
66:26
No, there isn’t. Next sentence. 
672
3986400
3520
66:30
“His father was unhelpful.” What’s the adjective? 
673
3990480
5360
66:36
‘unhelpful’ Of course. 
674
3996960
1680
66:39
Any prefix, suffix? Yes, there is a prefix. 
675
3999440
6160
66:45
Again, which is ‘un’. To make the adjective negative. 
676
4005600
3600
66:49
And there is a suffix, ‘ful’. To make the noun ‘help’ into an adjective. 
677
4009200
6080
66:56
‘unhelpful’ Next sentence. 
678
4016720
3600
67:00
“The actor is handsome.” The adjective, of course, is ‘handsome’. 
679
4020320
6720
67:08
Is there a prefix? No, there isn’t. Is there a suffix? 
680
4028320
5520
67:14
Of course, ‘some’. ‘handsome’ 
681
4034720
3280
67:19
“I hate oily food.” The adjective is ‘oily’. 
682
4039760
6560
67:26
Of course. Is there a prefix? 
683
4046320
2160
67:29
There isn’t.
684
4049760
640
67:31
Is there a suffix? 
685
4051040
1200
67:33
Of course. The ‘y’ is a suffix. 
686
4053600
2880
67:37
You have the word, the noun, ‘oil’. And to make it into an adjective you  
687
4057040
4640
67:41
add the suffix ‘y’. And finally, 
688
4061680
3760
67:45
“She is a dishonest woman.” The adjective is ‘dishonest’, of course. 
689
4065440
6800
67:53
Do you have a prefix? We do. Yes. 
690
4073360
3600
67:56
We have the prefix, ‘dis’. It shows this woman  
691
4076960
3440
68:00
is not honest, she is dishonest. Okay, so that’s how with prefixes and suffixes  
692
4080400
8000
68:08
we can really transform words in English. It’s wonderful isn’t it? 
693
4088400
5200
68:14
There are thousands of prefixes and suffixes. Again, these are just a few examples. 
694
4094320
5520
68:19
But I hope you now understand how it works in  English and how you can really transform and play  
695

Hello guys and welcome to this  English course on adjectives. 
718
4262800
4480
71:07
In this video, I will be talking to you  about adjectives ending in ‘ed’ or ‘ing’. 
719
4267280
7360
71:15
These adjectives are very common  in English and they often confuse  
720
4275680
4880
71:20
students and learners in general. 
721
4280560
2480
71:23
So please be really careful. Listen  very carefully. Repeat after me. 
722
4283040
5760
71:28
Try and understand what the difference is. Let's get started 
723
4288800
3760
71:36
Adjectives ending in ‘ed’,  describe a person's feeling.

For example, ‘bored’. ‘I am bored.’

‘This film is boring.’ Ok that's the event. 
728
4319040
4240
72:03
It's boring. And because the film is boring, I am bored. 
729
4323280
6000
72:09
That's my feeling. I hope you get it. 
730
4329280
4080
72:13
Let's get a few more common examples. For example, ‘annoyed’ and ‘annoying’. 
731
4333360
6000
72:20
‘He is annoyed’. That's a feeling. 
732

4720
72:30
Other example, ‘confused’, ‘confusing’. ‘The student was confused’. 
734
4350160
6560
72:37
‘The English was confusing’. ‘depressed’ 
735
4357680
5440

736

737
4367360

739
4375280
3760
73:01
‘frustrated’ ‘frustrating’ 
740
4381120
2720

741
4384480

73:45
‘I'm interested in articles.’ ‘I'm reading an interesting article’. 
749
4425680
6320
73:54
Last example, two sentences,  two different meanings. 
750
4434000
4560
73:58
Look at these: ‘The teacher was bored.’ 
751
4438560
3520
74:03
‘The teacher was boring.’ Now you really have to  
752
4443280
4960
74:08
understand the difference between those two because the meaning is not the same at all. 
753
4448240
4720
74:13
When you say ‘the teacher was bored’, you are describing the teacher’s feeling. 
754
4453520
5600
74:19
Okay, that's how the teacher felt at that time. He or she was bored. 
755
4459120
6000
74:25
But when you say ‘the teacher was boring’, 
756
4465840
2960
74:29
you are describing the teacher. Okay, the teacher made the students  
757
4469600
6160
74:35
feel bored because he or she was boring. Okay, so remember ‘ed’ is for feelings. 
758
4475760
9040
74:44
And ‘ing’ is to describe  events, things, situations. 
759
4484800
5120
74:50
Okay let's move on to practice now. I now have a few example sentences for you. 
760
4490800
5840
74:57
Let's have a look together. ‘Wow I am excited or exciting about my new car’ 
761
4497840
9520
75:08
Now what’s the correct answer? What do you think? 
762
4508640
4000
75:12
Now remember ‘ed’ to talk about feelings. ‘ing’ to describe things. 
763
4512640
6160
75:20
In this case, are you talking about your  feelings or are you describing your new car. 
764
4520160
5840
75:27
Of course you are talking about your feelings. So ‘Wow I'm excited about my new car.’ 
765
4527360
8560
75:37
Second example: ‘Try not to get  
766
4537760
2960
75:41
bored or boring when you study English.’ 
767
4541280
3360
75:46
Now what do you think are you talking  about feelings are you describing things? 
768
4546000
4800
75:51
Of course, again, we're talking  about feelings in this sentence. 
769
4551840
4000
75:55
‘Try not to get bored when you study English.’ Then, ‘Math is confused or confusing to me.’? 
770
4555840
10000
76:07
Do you know the answer? You are describing math to you. 
771
4567440
6400
76:13
It is confusing to you. So math is confusing to me. 
772
4573840
6000
76:20
‘It was a thrilled or  thrilling rollercoaster ride.’? 
773
4580560
4720
76:26
Now in this case, if you think for a minute,  can a roller-coaster ride feel anything? 
774
4586800
7280
76:34
No it can't. So it's obviously a description. 
775
4594080
4320
76:38
It was a thrilling rollercoaster ride. And finally: 
776
4598400
4640
76:43
‘My mother is disappointed or  disappointing in my English score’.? 
777
4603680
5040
76:50
Of course you are talking  about your mother's feeling. 
778
4610400
4560
76:54
She is disappointed in your English score. Very well guys. 
779
4614960
6240
77:01
I hope you did well and I hope you  understand the difference between  
780
4621200
4480
77:05
‘ed’ adjectives and ‘ing’ adjectives. Let's now review the sentences together  
781
4625680
3502
77:09
and focus on pronunciation. Now listen very carefully  
782
4629182
2258
77:11
and repeat after me please. ‘Wow, I am excited about my new car.’ 
783
4631440
8080
77:23
‘Wow, I am excited about my new car.’ 
784
4643280
6560
77:30
Good. ‘Try not to get bored when you study English.’ 
785
4650400
5440
77:39
‘Try not to get bored when you study English.’ 
786
4659760
4080
77:47
Good guys. Third sentence. 
787
4667040
1840
77:49
‘Math is confusing to me.’ ‘Math is confusing to me.’ 
788
4669760
8080
78:01
Very good. ‘It was a thrilling roller coaster ride.’ 
789
4681280
5520
78:10
‘It was a thrilling roller coaster ride.’ 
790
4690640
3280
78:18
Very nice. And finally: 
791
4698000
1920
78:20
‘My mother is disappointed in my English score.’ One last time. 
792
4700640
15432

78:48
They are very important as they will  allow you to describe how you feel and to 
796
4728480
5760
78:54
describe things and events and situations. 
797
4734240
3040
78:58
Please keep practicing as this is  still a common mistakes among students.

4960
84:50
Let's have a look. She is a tall British woman.

Now how many adjectives can you see in this sentence?

I see two adjectives. And is the order correct?

85:06
Tall - is the size. British - the origins.

3840
85:32
and big is the size. Well no it isn't. 
865
5132720

6240
85:45
I got a gold new watch. Again, I suppose you know - two adjectives.

870
5165760
6560
86:13
Red for the colour. And long - the size. 
871
5173120
3840
86:17
And size comes before color so it should be, My mother has a long red hair. 
872
5177840
6800
86:25
And finally, this is a cute little white puppy. 
873
5185680
4880
86:32
Three adjectives. Is the order correct? 
874
5192400
3440
86:36
what do you think? Well it is correct. 
875
5196640
4240
86:40
We have 'cute' for your opinion. ' 'little' for the size. 
876
5200880
4480
86:45
'white' for the color. And the order is correct. 
877
5205360
3680
86:49
This is a cute little white puppy Okay guys.

Hello students and welcome back to  my English course on adjectives. 
888
5266960
5040
87:52
In this video, I'm going to talk to  you about intensifiers and mitigators. 
889
5272560
5920
87:59
Now what are those? Don't be scared of their names. 
890
5279280
4640
88:04
Intensifiers are simply words that  will make adjectives stronger. 
891
5284560
7120
88:11
They will give adjectives  more power or more emphasis. 
892
5291680
3760
88:16
For example, two very common intensifiers  in English are ‘really’ and ‘very’. 
893
5296160
6720
88:24
Mitigators on the other hand, make the adjectives  weaker like the words brother or family. 
894
5304400
8480
88:33
But we're gonna go into a little more detail. Keep watching. 
895
5313840
4080
88:41
Let's start with intensifiers. And I have a list of intensifies for you. 
896
5321840
5360
88:47
Of course these are not all of them,  but it's a good start because they are  
897
5327200
4320
88:51
very common in English. Let's have a look. 
898
5331520
2480
88:55
really This video is really interesting. 
899
5335360
4880
89:01
The adjectives in this sentence is  interesting and we make it stronger  
900
5341200
5680
89:06
with the intensifier, ‘really’. It's really interesting. 
901
5346880
4320
89:12
very For example, I'm very happy to learn English. 
902
5352880
5120
89:18
The adjective is ‘happy’. And we give it more power with the intensifier. 
903
5358720
6400
89:25
very I am very happy to learn English. 
904
5365120
3760
89:30
Other intensifiers include absolutely. or example your new dress is absolutely  
905
5370240
8080
89:38
amazing. ‘extremely’ 
906
5378320
2800
89:42
Like ‘It's extremely cold outside.” 
907
5382000
3040
89:46
‘incredibly’ For example, ‘Your son is incredibly smart.’ 
908
5386400
5440
89:52
‘completely’ ‘My wallet is completely empty.’ 
909
5392960
4400
89:59
unusually ‘The classroom was unusually quiet.’ 
910
5399280
6560
90:05
And finally, ‘enough’. ‘He isn't old enough to drive.’ 
911
5405840
6400
90:13
Now for this last sentence, the adjective  is old and II intensifier is enough. 
912
5413120
8560
90:21
It's a special case because as you can hear and  see, ‘enough’ always comes after the adjective. 
913
5421680
7120
90:30
Intensifiers are commonly used with  comparative and superlative adjectives. 
914
5430000
6080
90:37
For example, with comparative  adjectives, we offer news much. 
915
5437040
4880
90:42
For example, ‘He runs much faster than me.’ ‘Faster’ is the comparative form  
916
5442800
7280
90:50
of the adjective ‘fast’. And to intensify the comparison,  
917
5450080
4960
90:55
we use the intensifier ‘much’. So he runs much faster than me. 
918
5455040
5440
91:01
We also use ‘a lot’. For example, ‘This red bag  
919
5461680
5600
91:07
is a lot heavier than this white bag’. ‘heavier’ is the comparative form of  
920
5467280
6320
91:13
the adjective ‘heavy’. And we make it even more  
921
5473600
3280
91:16
powerful with ‘a lot heavier’. And we also use ‘fun’. 
922
5476880
6400
91:23
For example, ‘She is far taller than me’. ‘taller’ is the comparative of ‘tall’. 
923
5483920
6960
91:31
We make it more powerful with ‘far’. ‘Far taller than me’. 
924
5491600
4640
91:37
Now with superlative  adjectives, we can use ‘easily’. 
925
5497520
4560
91:42
For example, ‘This is easily  the best restaurant in town’. 
926
5502880
5520
91:49
‘best’ is the superlative  form of the adjective ‘good’. 
927
5509200
5120
91:54
And we make it even more powerful by  saying, ‘easily the best restaurant’. 
928
5514320
5760
92:01
And we also use ‘by far’. For example,  
929
5521280
3600
92:05
‘Sarah is by far the smartest girl in class’. Let's move on to mitigators. 
930
5525520
7760
92:13
Now mitigators are the opposite of intensifiers. They weaken the adjectives. 
931
5533280
8160
92:22
Let's look at a few examples. Mitigators include ‘fairly’. 
932
5542160
5760
92:27
For example, ‘It's fairly sunny today’. The adjective ‘sunny’ is  
933
5547920
6400
92:34
weakened by the mitigator ‘fairly’. So it's not sunny it's a bit less than sunny. 
934
5554320
6800
92:42
Other mitigator ‘rather’. So when I say, ‘I'm rather tired’, 
935
5562480
5360
92:48
I'm not exactly tired. I'm a bit less. 
936
5568480
3360
92:51
The adjective is less powerful  because of this ‘rather’. 
937
5571840
4320
92:57
Other example, ‘pretty’. ‘It's pretty expensive’. 
938
5577520
4880
93:02
Which means it's not expensive. It's a little bit less. 
939
5582400
5440
93:07
Oh quite like, ‘The movie was quite good’. The adjective ‘good’  
940
5587840
6320
93:14
is less powerful because of this ‘quite’. Now be very careful because if you use ‘quite’  
941
5594160
8000
93:22
with an extreme adjective such as ‘terrible’, ‘perfect’, ‘enormous’, or ‘excellent’ – 
942
5602160
8240
93:30
quite means ‘absolutely’. It becomes an intensifier. 
943
5610400
5120
93:35
For example, ‘She is quite gorgeous.’ Means she is absolutely gorgeous. 
944
5615520
5840
93:41
It's more powerful because  of the intensified ‘quite’. 
945
5621360
4080
93:46
So be very careful when you use ‘quite’  because depending on the adjective that you 
946
5626000
4880
93:50
choose it has a different meaning. And it can be either an intensifier  
947
5630880
5680
93:56
or a mitigator. Let's move on. 
948
5636560
3040
94:01
Just as intensifiers, mitigators can  be used with comparative adjectives. 
949
5641040
6320
94:08
Let's look at a few examples. We can use ‘a bit’. 
950
5648720
4160
94:13
For example, ‘He's a bit faster than me’. When you say, “He's a bit faster than me,” it's 
951
5653520
8000
94:21
less powerful than “He's faster than me.” So ‘a bit’ it's mitigates it weakens ‘faster’. 
952
5661520
8800
94:31
Same goes for ‘rather’. For example,  
953
5671760
3680
94:35
‘This dress is rather nicer than that dress’. It weakens the comparison the nicer. 
954
5675440
10326
94:45
Third case we can say ‘a little bit’. For example, ‘There's a little bit more  
955
5685766
83
94:45
rain today than yesterday’. It's less powerful then. 
956
5685849
53
94:45
There's more rain. And finally we can say, ‘slightly’. 
957
5685902
2338
94:48
For example, ‘My car is  slightly older than your car’. 
958
5688240
6240
94:54
So it's just a little bit older than your car. It's weak because of this mitigator. 
959
5694480
7600
95:03
Let's now move on to practice. I want things to be very clear so I  
960
5703360
5520
95:08
have a few example sentences for you guys. And I want you to tell me if you see an  
961
5708880
5280
95:14
intensifier or a mitigator. Let's have a look first. 
962
5714160
5920
95:20
‘It's a very interesting game’. Now what's the adjective in that sentence? 
963
5720880
7440
95:28
‘interesting’ of course. What about ‘very’. 
964
5728320
3120
95:32
Is it an intensifier or a mitigator? What do you think? 
965
5732080
4000
95:37
It's an intensifier of course. It's a very interesting game. 
966
5737200
5520
95:42
It's more powerful thanks to this ‘very’. The second sentence,  
967
5742720
5760
95:49
‘She cooks fairly good pasta’. Now the adjective in this sentence is ‘good’. 
968
5749200
7760
95:56
I'm sure you know what about ‘fairly’. Is it an intensifier or a mitigator? 
969
5756960
6080
96:04
It's a mitigator guys. The adjective ‘good’ is  
970
5764400
4480
96:08
less powerful because of ‘fairly’. ‘She cooks fairly good pasta’. 
971
5768880
4800
96:15
The third example, ‘He's quite brilliant at speaking English’. 
972
5775120
4480
96:21
The adjective is ‘brilliant’. Now just a hint. 
973
5781200
5920
96:28
It's an extreme adjective. ‘brilliant’ is a very strong adjective,  
974
5788160
4720
96:33
so what about ‘quite’? Is it an intensifier or a mitigator? 
975
5793520
5520
96:41
It is an intensifier of course  because the adjective is extreme. 
976
5801200
5520
96:46
I hope you got that. 
977
5806720
1200
96:49
Next example. ‘She's a bit younger than I am’. 
978
5809120
3840
96:54
The adjective is actually a comparative adjective. In this sentence,  
979
5814400
5840
97:00
‘younger’ a bit acts as a mitigator of course. And finally, ‘My dog is much fatter than my cat’. 
980
5820240
13680
97:14
Again, it's a comparative adjective ‘fatter’. And what about ‘much’? 
981
5834720
5680
97:21
What do you think? Intensifier, mitigator? 
982
5841040
3440
97:25
It's an intensifier. It's much fatter than my cat. 
983
5845520
4400
97:31
Good job guys. Let's move on. 
984
5851200
2640
97:33
Let's go through the sentences  again and focus on pronunciation. 
985
5853840
880
97:34
Please repeat after me. It's a very interesting game. 
986
5854720
5600
97:43
One more time. It's a very interesting game. 
987
5863920
3920
97:51
Good. Second example. 
988
5871680
1760
97:54
She cooks fairly good pasta. She cooks fairly good pasta. 
989
5874480
8480
98:07
Third example guys. He's quite brilliant at speaking English. 
990
5887200
9040
98:16
One more time. He's quite brilliant at speaking English. 
991
5896240
4560
98:25
Moving on. She's a bit younger than I am. 
992
5905120
4720
98:32
She's a bit younger than I am. 
993
5912880
2480
98:38
And finally, my dog is much fatter than my cat. 
994
5918800
5040
98:47
My dog is much fatter than my cat. 
995
5927760
3600
98:55
Excellent guys. Thank you guys for watching the video. 
996
5935120
4240
98:59
I hope this has helped. Now using intensifiers and  
997
5939360
4720
99:04
mitigators takes practice. A lot of practice. 
998
5944080
4160
99:08
But I'm sure you can do it and it's worth it. 
999
5948240
3440
99:11
It will make a true difference  to your speaking skills. 
1000
5951680

Hello, everyone. 
1007
6000560
1680
100:02
Welcome to this English course on adverbs. And in this video we're gonna talk about adverbs. 
1008
6002240
6960
100:10
Now the simplest definition of an adverb is that  it's a word that describes or modifies a verb. 
1009
6010080
9600
100:20
Now actually adverbs can modify other  parts of the sentence like other adverbs. 
1010
6020400
6400
100:27
But in this video, we will focus  on verbs and four kinds of adverbs. 
1011
6027440
6240
100:34
Adverbs of time. Adverbs of place.  Of Manner and Adverbs of Degree. 
1012
6034320
6800
100:42
Usually they will answer the  following questions about the verbs: 
1013
6042320
4160
100:47
When? Where? How? and To what extent? 
1014
6047280
6320
100:55
Let's look at these sentences. "The boy ran." 
1015
6055440
5120
101:02
And then we have, "The boy ran excitedly." 
1016
6062400
3680
101:07
Now this example shows the power of adverbs. 
1017
6067040
4800
101:12
In the second sentence you  find out how the boy ran. 
1018
6072720
4480
101:17
In the first sentence you don't have any information on how the boy ran. 
1019
6077200
5120
101:22
So in the second sentence, we find  out that the boy was very excited. 
1020
6082880
4560
101:28
So it's very important to understand  adverbs and understand how to use them 
1021
6088560
6480
101:35
because they will make you  speak English a lot better. 
1022
6095040
3600
101:39
So let's get started. 
1023
6099200
1280
101:44
First let's talk about the position of an adverb. So where do we put the adverb in the sentence? 
1024
6104560
8720
101:53
Now that is a bit tricky because the  adverb in an English sentence can be in  
1025
6113920
5440
101:59
different parts of the sentence. Let's look at a few examples: 
1026
6119360
5280
102:06
She climbed the mountain slowly. Slowly she climbed the mountain. 
1027
6126320
5680
102:13
She slowly climbed the mountain. Can you guess which word is the adverb? 
1028
6133040
6400
102:21
The word 'slowly' is the adverb. It describes how she climbed the mountain. 
1029
6141360
6480
102:28
And as you can see, the adverb is in  three different parts of the sentence  
1030
6148560
7280
102:35
but the meaning is exactly the same. So let's practice pronunciation. 
1031
6155840
6000
102:42
Repeat after me please. She climbed the mountain slowly. 
1032
6162640
5280
102:51
Slowly she climbed the mountain. She slowly climbed the mountain. 
1033
6171520
7760
103:02
Great guys. let's move on. Let's now talk about how to make adverbs. 
1034
6182960
6960
103:09
Now most adverbs, not all of  them, but most of them end in -ly. 
1035
6189920
6960
103:16
So it's actually very easy. You take the adjective and you  
1036
6196880
4240
103:21
add 'ly' at the end. Let's look at a few examples. 
1037
6201120
4320
103:26
If you have the adjective 'nice', and you  add 'ly' to it, you make the adverb 'nicely'. 
1038
6206720
8480
103:36
So for example you could say, "He is a nice speaker"  
1039
6216080
5520
103:41
using the adjective 'nice'. But you could also use the  
1040
6221600
3920
103:45
adverb 'nicely' and say, "He speaks nicely." 
1041
6225520
4240
103:51
A second example - If we take the  adjective 'quick', and we add 'ly',  
1042
6231120
6320
103:58
we can make the adverb 'quickly'. So we could say, 
1043
6238160
4480
104:02
"He is a quick runner." But we could also say, 
1044
6242640
4400
104:07
"He runs quickly." Okay. Let's practice pronunciation. 
1045
6247600
2800
104:10
Repeat after me please. "He speaks nicely." 
1046
6250400
4640
104:18
"He runs quickly." Good job guys. 
1047
6258400
6080
104:24
Let's move on. Be careful guys. 
1048
6264480
2080
104:27
Not all adverbs end in 'ly'. Some adjectives don't change  
1049
6267200
7680
104:34
form when they become adverbs. They're called flat adverbs. 
1050
6274880
5280
104:41
Typical flat adverbs would be  'early' or 'late' and a few others. 
1051
6281520
6960
104:49
And it's very important to  know these flat adverbs. 
1052
6289520
3840
104:54
Because a lot of my students try  to add 'ly' to some adjectives 
1053
6294240
5680
104:59
and unfortunately they make incorrect sentences. So let's take a look at an example. 
1054
6299920
7120
105:08
Okay. If I tell you "The car drove fastly" 
1055
6308080
3840
105:12
Do you think that makes sense? Now it does make sense to try to add 'ly' 
1056
6312960
7120
105:20
to the adjective 'fast', but unfortunately guys  
1057
6320080
3840
105:23
'fastly' does not exist in English. So the correct sentence is, 
1058
6323920
6320
105:30
"The car drove fast." Another example, 
1059
6330240
5040
105:36
"He arrived 'late' or 'lately' to class." What do you think's the correct answer? 
1060
6336080
7760
105:44
Again, it makes sense to try to  add 'ly' to the adjective 'late', 
1061
6344400
5280
105:50
but 'lately' is not the adverb  of the adjective 'late'. 
1062
6350640
3840
105:54
The adverb is 'late'. So the correct sentence is,  
1063
6354480
4640
105:59
"He arrived late to class." Let's practice pronunciation. 
1064
6359120
4080
106:03
Please repeat after me. "The car drove fast." 
1065
6363200
4480
106:11
"He arrived late to class." 
1066
6371040
2400
106:17
Great job guys. I hope you now understand flat adverbs better. 
1067
6377200
5120
106:22
Let's move on. Let's now  
1068
6382320
1840
106:24
take a look at a few sentences to practice  finding and making adverbs that modify verbs. 
1069
6384160
7520
106:32
Now remember, adverbs tell  us so much about the verb. 
1070
6392400
4960
106:38
Usually they tell us 'when' or 'where' or 'how' or 'to what degree'. 
1071
6398480
5920
106:45
So the first example we have is, "He easily lifted the box." 
1072
6405840
5920
106:52
Can you spot the adverb in this sentence? Of course the adverb is 'easily' - ending in 'ly'. 
1073
6412720
8880
107:02
Okay and it tells us how he lifted the box. It's an adverb of manner. 
1074
6422240
6960
107:10
Now the second sentence, and this is a bit more difficult, 
1075
6430640
3760
107:15
"I will download the file tomorrow." Now where is the adverb? 
1076
6435840
6800
107:22
Because there is no word ending in 'ly', so it's a bit more complicated. 
1077
6442640
4640
107:28
Well the adverb is 'tomorrow'  and it tells you 'when'. 
1078
6448960
4640
107:33
It's an adverb of time. And these are sometimes a bit more difficult. 
1079
6453600
5680
107:39
Make sure you watch my next video. I will talk about them. 
1080
6459280
3040
107:43
Our third example now. "I put it there." 
1081
6463600
4640
107:49
Again no words ending in 'ly'. The adverb is the word 'there'. 
1082
6469600
6720
107:56
And it tells us 'where'. It's an adverb of place. 
1083
6476320
3760
108:00
We will talk about them in our next videos as well. 
1084
6480080
3760
108:04
And our last example, "You didn't study enough for the test." 
1085
6484560
5520
108:11
The adverb is the word 'enough'. And it's an adverb of degree. 
1086
6491920
5360
108:17
Okay. It tells us to what degree. 
1087
6497840
2560
108:22
Again it's not a word ending in 'ly'. And we will talk about adverbs  
1088
6502080
5280
108:27
of degree in our next videos. For now, let's practice pronunciation a bit. 
1089
6507360
3120
108:30
Please repeat after me. "He easily lifted the box." 
1090
6510480
5120
108:39
"I will download the file tomorrow." 
1091
6519200
2480
108:45
"I put it there." 
1092
6525120
1200
108:50
"You didn't study enough for the test." 
1093
6530400
2560
108:57
Great guys. Remember guys - it's very important to  
1094
6537440
3920
109:01
understand adverbs and to know how to make them. They will make you speak English so much better. 
1095
6541360
7680
109:09
And this video was only a quick  introduction to adverbs in English. 
1096
6549600
4240
109:14
In our next videos, we will  focus on each kind of adverbs.

Hello, everyone. Welcome to this English course on adverbs. 
1103
6601040
4240
110:05
And in this video I'm gonna focus on Adverbs of Time. 
1104
6605280
4560
110:10
Now adverbs of time tell us ‘when’ an action happens, 
1105
6610400
4480
110:14
and also ‘how long’ and ‘how often’. Now these adverbs are extremely common in 
1106
6614880
8240
110:23
English, 
1107
6623120
560
110:23
so you really need to know about them. So let's start learning together. 
1108
6623680
4640
110:32
Let's now take a look at a few example sentences telling us ‘when’ something happened. 
1109
6632480
6160
110:40
‘She ate ice cream yesterday.’ The adverb in this sentence is… have you 
1110
6640160
7360
110:47
noticed? ‘yesterday’ of course. 
1111
6647520
3120
110:50
And it's an adverb of time. When did you eat ice cream? 
1112
6650640
5200
110:55
‘yesterday’ I see you now. 
1113
6655840
3920
111:00
Now where is the adverb in this sentence? Of course the adverb is ‘now’. 
1114
6660960
6320
111:07
Again it's an adverb of time. When do I see you? 
1115
6667280
3680
111:11
‘now’ ‘I tell him daily.’ 
1116
6671520
3840
111:16
The adverb is ‘daily’. Again adverb of time. 
1117
6676800
4160
111:22
‘We met last year.’ Can you see the adverb? 
1118
6682480
4480
111:28
Of course the adverb in this case is ‘last year’. 
1119
6688080
5520
111:33
Again notion of time. When did we meet? 
1120
6693600
3920
111:37
‘last year’ And finally, ‘He will call you later’. 
1121
6697520
4400
111:42
The adverb in this sentence is also an adverb of time. 
1122
6702720
4080
111:46
It is ‘later’. So these are all adverbs of time 
1123
6706800
6160
111:52
And as you can see in those examples, usually adverbs of time are at the end of 
1124
6712960
6800
111:59
the sentence. Let's do a bit of pronunciation practice. 
1125
6719760
1440
112:01
Repeat after me, please. ‘She ate ice cream yesterday.’ 
1126
6721200
5280
112:10
‘I see you now.’ 
1127
6730640
1280
112:15
‘I tell him daily.’ ‘We met last year.’ 
1128
6735760
6480
112:25
‘He will call you later.’ 
1129
6745440
4880
112:30
Good guys. Let's move on. 
1130
6750320
1760
112:33
Let's now move on to example sentences showing us how long something happened. 
1131
6753040
5680
112:39
These adverbs are also usually placed at the end of the sentence. 
1132
6759760
5120
112:45
But let's have a look. ‘She stayed home all day.’ 
1133
6765440
4560
112:51
Which part of this sentence is an adverb? Can you see it? 
1134
6771760
3520
112:56
Of course, ‘all day’. And it tells us how long she stayed home. 
1135
6776640
5680
113:04
‘I studied in Canada for a year now.’ In this sentence, ‘for a year’ tells us 
1136
6784320
8640
113:12
how long I studied in Canada. ‘He has taught English since 1990.’ 
1137
6792960
7520
113:23
How long has he taught English? Since 1990. 
1138
6803040
4720
113:29
‘I studied English for four hours.’ Which pond is the adverb? 
1139
6809840
5600
113:37
‘For four hours’ ‘How long did I study English?’ 
1140
6817280
4720
113:42
‘for four hours’ And finally, ‘We have lived in New Zealand 
1141
6822560
5440
113:48
since 2005.’ The adverb is of course ‘since 2005’. 
1142
6828000
6320
113:56
As you can see adverbs are not necessarily just one word. 
1143
6836400
5360
114:03
‘since 2005’ - two words. ‘for four hours’ - three words. 
1144
6843280
5200
114:09
Okay, so they're not just one word sometimes they're more than one. 
1145
6849040
3600
114:12
Now let's do a bit of pronunciation practice. Repeat after me. 
1146
6852640
1920
114:16
‘She stayed home all day.’ 
1147
6856080
2000
114:21
‘I studied in Canada for a year.’ ‘He has taught English since 1990.’ 
1148
6861520
9680
114:34
‘I studied English for four hours.’ 
1149
6874800
2880
114:41
‘We have lived in New Zealand since 2005.’ 
1150
6881600
4080
114:49
Good guys. Let's move on. 
1151
6889200
1680
114:51
Adverbs telling us how often express the frequency of an action. 
1152
6891920
5040
114:57
They're usually placed before the main verb, but after the auxiliary verb, 
1153
6897840
7200
115:05
such as B may have or must. The only exception is if the main verb is 
1154
6905040
9920
115:14
the verb to be. In which case the adverb goes after the main 
1155
6914960
5520
115:20
verb. Let's have a look at a few example sentences. 
1156
6920480
4000
115:26
‘I often eat pizza.’ Can you spot the adverb? 
1157
6926080
5760
115:33
It's ‘often’. And as you can see, it is placed before the 
1158
6933040
6160
115:39
main verb which is ‘eat’. So ‘I often eat’. 
1159
6939200
4000
115:45
The second example, ‘He has never drunk Cola.’ 
1160
6945040
4400
115:50
In this case, we have an auxiliary verb. The auxiliary verb ‘have’ and the main 
1161
6950480
6160
115:56
verb is ‘drunk’. So the adverb is placed between the auxiliary 
1162
6956640
6400
116:03
verb and the main verb. ‘He has never drunk.’ 
1163
6963040
4080
116:09
‘You must always brush your teeth.’ Same applies. 
1164
6969200
5360
116:14
We have an auxiliary verb ‘must’. Okay. 
1165
6974560
3360
116:18
And we have the main verb ‘brush’, so the adverb goes after the axillary verb, 
1166
6978480
6240
116:24
but before the main verb. ‘You must always brush.’ 
1167
6984720
4400
116:30
‘I am seldom late’. So the main verb is the verb ‘to be’. 
1168
6990960
7040
116:38
Be careful. So in this case the adverb goes after the 
1169
6998000
4400
116:42
main verb. ‘I am seldom late’. 
1170
7002400
2800
116:46
And finally, ‘He rarely lies.’ 
1171
7006640
3280
116:50
The main verb is ‘lies’. So the adverb goes before the main verb. 
1172
7010720
5360
116:56
‘He rarely lies’. Okay. 
1173
7016080
3040
116:59
Let's do a bit of pronunciation practice. Now repeat after me. 
1174
7019120
1520
117:02
‘I often eat pizza.’ 
1175
7022560
2000
117:08
‘He has never drunk Cola.’ ‘You must always brush your teeth.’ 
1176
7028400
8000
117:20
‘I am seldom late.’ ‘He rarely lies.’ 
1177
7040160
7200
117:30
Great job guys. Let's move on. 
1178
7050720
2000
117:33
Some adverbs expressing ‘how often’ express the exact number of times that an action happened 
1179
7053440
8080
117:42
They're called definite ‘adverbs of frequency’. And in this case, they're usually placed at 
1180
7062080
7040
117:49
the end of the sentence. Let's have a look at a few examples. 
1181
7069120
4240
117:54
‘I visit my dentist yearly.’ The adverb is ‘yearly’. 
1182
7074560
6080
118:01
Okay. ‘Once a year’ and it expresses the exact 
1183
7081280
3520
118:04
number of times that I visit my dentist. It's a definite adverb of frequency, 
1184
7084800
6560
118:11
so it's placed at the end of the sentence. Other example, 
1185
7091360
4320
118:16
‘He goes to the gym once a week.’ Again we have a definite adverb of frequency 
1186
7096640
7120
118:23
which is ‘once a week’. ‘I work five days a week.’ 
1187
7103760
7760
118:32
Same thing. We have a definite adverb of frequency which 
1188
7112400
3600
118:36
is ‘five days a week’ so it's placed at the end of the sentence. 
1189
7116000
4400
118:41
And finally, ‘I saw the movie five times.’ 
1190
7121360
3840
118:46
Again ‘five times’ expresses the exact number of times that I saw the movie. 
1191
7126080
7120
118:53
Let's do a bit of pronunciation practice. Repeat after me. 
1192
7133200
2000
118:56
‘I visit my dentist yearly.’ ‘He goes to the gym once a week.’ 
1193
7136720
7920
119:07
‘I work five days a week.’ ‘I saw the movie five times.’ 
1194
7147760
8080
119:19
Good. Moving on now. 
1195
7159120
3040
119:22
If you want to use more than one adverb of time in a sentence, 
1196
7162160
4880
119:27
you should put them in the following order: First, ‘how long?’. 
1197
7167760
4640
119:33
Second, ‘how often?’. And finally, ‘when?’. 
1198
7173600
3920
119:38
Let's take a look at a very good example sentence. ‘He taught at the school for ten days every 
1199
7178800
8880
119:47
month last year.’ Now as you can see, first, we're told ‘how 
1200
7187680

119:55
long’ - for ten days. Then, we're told ‘how often’ - every month. 
1201
7195280
6160
120:02
And finally, were told ‘when’ exactly - last year. 
1202
7202160
4320
120:07
This is a very good sentence using the different kinds of adverbs of time in the right order, 
1203
7207360
7600
120:14
so I hope you can do the same let's practice 
1204
7214960
2248
120:17
pronunciation together. Now repeat after me. 
1205
7217208
1512
120:20
‘He taught at the school for 10 days every month last year.’ 
1206
7220240
5600
120:32
Good job, guys. Let's now practice together okay guys. 
1207
7232400
5040
120:37
Let's do a bit of extra practice. I have four example sentences for you to spot 
1208
7237440
6160
120:43
adverbs of time, so let's get started. 
1209
7243600
2640
120:47
‘He has been to Canada three times.’ Can you spot the adverb? 
1210
7247520
6640
120:54
Of course the adverb is the adverb frequency ‘three times’. 
1211
7254160
5360
120:59
Okay. How often has he been to Canada three times. 
1212
7259520
3600
121:04
The second example is, ‘Generally I don't like to eat spicy food.’ 
1213
7264560
5760
121:11
The adverb is ‘generally’. And remember I told you some adverbs of frequency 
1214
7271760
6160
121:17
work well at the beginning of a sentence if you want to emphasize the frequency, 
1215
7277920
5200
121:23
so ‘generally’ is one of them. Another example would be ‘sometimes’. 
1216
7283760
4240
121:30
Next example. ‘He will clean his room regularly from now 
1217
7290160
5280
121:35
on.’ Now be careful. 
1218
7295440
2800
121:38
In this case, we have two adverbs. The first one ‘regularly’. 
1219
7298240
4640
121:43
The second one ‘from now on’. Keeping the order, ‘regularly’ is ‘how 
1220
7303440
6240
121:49
often?’ followed by ‘when?’ – ‘from now on’. 
1221
7309680
4080
121:54
And finally, ‘I've been going to church for four days 
1222
7314960
4960
121:59
every month since 1996.’ Three adverbs in this case. 
1223
7319920
6960
122:08
‘how long?’ – ‘for four days’ 
1224
7328400
1920
122:11
‘how often?’ - ‘every month’ 
1225
7331200
2080
122:14
‘when?’ – ‘since 1996’ Let's practice pronunciation now. 
1226
7334000
5280
122:19
Please repeat after me. ‘He's been to Canada three times.’ 
1227
7339280
4960
122:28
‘Generally, I don't like to eat spicy food.’ 
1228
7348320
3520
122:35
‘He will clean his room regularly from now on.’ 
1229
7355760
3040
122:42
‘I've been going to church for four days every month since 1996.’ 
1230
7362480
5680
122:52
Great job. Moving on. 
1231
7372480
1920
122:55
Okay guys. You now know a lot more about adverbs of time. 
1232
7375280
4960
123:00
Remember these adverbs are extremely common in English, 
1233
7380880
4800
123:05
so it's very important for you to learn about them. 
1234
7385680
2800
123:09
They will improve your English skills very quickly. 
1235
7389040
4000
123:13
Okay now there are obviously other types of 
1236
7393040
3600
123:16
adverbs - adverbs of place of manner and of degree 
1237
7396640
4560
123:21
And I will focus on these in my next videos, so check them out.

Hello, everyone. Welcome to this English course on adverbs. 
1243
7446480
4400
124:10
In this video, we're gonna talk about adverbs of place. 
1244
7450880
4160
124:16
Adverbs of place tell us where an action happens. They could also give us information on direction, 
1245
7456000
9040
124:25
distance, or movement. Let's take a look at a quick example. 
1246
7465040
4960
124:30
‘Let's go and play outdoors.’ Now in this sentence, the adverb of place 
1247
7470960
6880
124:37
is ‘outdoors’. It answers the question, ‘Where?’. 
1248
7477840
4320
124:42
Where? ‘Outdoors.’ 
1249
7482160
2560
124:44
Okay. Now let's learn a bit more about adverbs 
1250
7484720
4480
124:49
of place together. Let's get started. 
1251
7489200
2640
124:55
First, let's talk a bit about ‘here’ and ‘there’. 
1252
7495440
3680
124:59
‘Here’ and ‘there’ are two adverbs of place that relates specifically to the speaker. 
1253
7499760
6080
125:06
‘Here’ meaning close to the speaker. Close to me. 
1254
7506720
2880
125:10
‘There’ meaning farther away. Okay. Let's take a look at a few examples. 
1255
7510240
5280
125:16
‘I put my keys there.’ So the adverb ‘there’ indicating the location 
1256
7516800
7360
125:24
of the keys and they're a bit farther away from me. 
1257
7524160
3040
125:27
Okay? Second example. 
1258
7527200
3120
125:30
‘Please come here.’ ‘Here’ being the adverb, you know, meaning 
1259
7530320
5200
125:35
to me. So these adverbs  
1260
7535520
4240
125:39
are place at the end of the sentence. 
1261
7539760
2480
125:42
But you can also put them at the beginning if you want to emphasize the location. 
1262
7542240
6560
125:49
For example, ‘Here are your keys.’ 
1263
7549440
3680
125:53
‘Here’. close to me. 
1264
7553840
1200
125:56
‘There is your umbrella.’ Over there, farther away. 
1265
7556960
4320
126:01
So in these two cases, I want to emphasize the location 
1266
7561280
3840
126:05
so I place the adverb at the beginning of the sentence. 
1267
7565120
3680
126:08
Okay, guys? Let's now practice pronunciation. 
1268
7568800
1840
126:10
Please repeat after me. ‘I put my keys there.’ 
1269
7570640
5200
126:19
‘Please come here.’ 
1270
7579280
1120
126:24
‘Here are your keys.’ ‘There is your umbrella.’ 
1271
7584160
5680
126:33
Good job, guys. Let's move on. 
1272
7593600
2080
126:37
Let's now take a look at adverbs of movement and directions. 
1273
7597280
4880
126:42
Some adverbs end in ‘-ward’. Or ‘-wards’. 
1274
7602160
10240
126:52
It's the same thing. And they express  
1275
7612400
3120
126:55
movement in a particular direction. For example, ‘homeward’ or ‘homewards’ 
1276
7615520
7280
127:04
‘backward’ or ‘backwards’ ‘forward’ or ‘forwards’ 
1277
7624000
5360
127:10
‘onward’ or ‘onwards’ So they express a movement. 
1278
7630240
5040
127:15
And they specify a particular direction. Let's take a look at a few examples sentences. 
1279
7635280
6560
127:23
‘We drove eastwards.’ or ‘eastward’. It would be the exact same thing. 
1280
7643440
6320
127:31
‘The children looked upwards at the stars.’ ‘You need to move forward one step.’ 
1281
7651520
9280
127:42
So each time you have a movement specifying the direction of this movement. 
1282
7662400
6320
127:49
Okay? Good. 
1283
7669840
530
127:50
Let's practice pronunciation now. Repeat after me please. 
1284
7670370
3470
127:54
‘We drove eastwards.’ 
1285
7674560
1760
127:59
‘The children looked upwards at the stars.’ 
1286
7679920
3600
128:07
‘You need to move forward one step.’ 
1287
7687200
2800
128:14
Good, guys. Let's move on. 
1288
7694400
2000
128:17
Some adverbs express both movement and location at the same time. 
1289
7697440
6160
128:24
For example, when I say, ‘The child went indoors,’ 
1290
7704800
5040
128:30
There's a movement. The child goes into the house. 
1291
7710560
4160
128:35
But it's also a location. He's inside – indoors. 
1292
7715520
4000
128:41
Another example would be, ‘He's going abroad.’ 
1293
7721040
3920
128:45
It's a movement, but it's also a location abroad in another country. 
1294
7725600
4880
128:52
Finally I could say, ‘The rock rolled downhill.’ 
1295
7732000
4320
128:57
There's the movement going down, but it's also 
1296
7737040
3680
129:00
a location. Now let's practice pronunciation. 
1297
7740720
2320
129:03
Please repeat after me. ‘The child went indoors.’ 
1298
7743040
4400
129:10
‘He is going abroad.’ ‘The rock rolled downhill.’ 
1299
7750800
7600
129:21
Good job, guys. moving on. 
1300
7761840
1600
129:25
‘everywhere’ ‘somewhere’ 
1301
7765120
1920
129:27
‘anywhere’ or ‘nowhere’ are adverbs of place as well. 
1302
7767600
4720
129:33
But they are special because they describe a location or direction 
1303
7773040
5600
129:38
that is indefinite or unspecific. For example, 
1304
7778640
5200
129:44
‘I looked everywhere for my car keys.’ 
1305
7784880
23280
130:11
‘I'd like to go somewhere for my vacation.’ 
1306
7811840
2560
130:18
‘We're going nowhere.’ ‘Is there anywhere to get a coffee?’ 
1307
7818480
5280
130:23
Let's practice pronunciation together. Repeat after me. 
1308
7823760
119
130:23
‘I looked everywhere for my car keys.’ ‘I'd like to go somewhere for my vacation.’ 
1309
7823879
89
130:23
‘We're going nowhere.’ ‘Is there anywhere to get a coffee?’ 
1310
7823968
3872
130:29
Great guys. Let's move on. 
1311
7829840
1840
130:32
Just so you know, some adverbs can also be prepositions. 
1312
7832880
4800
130:38
Now the difference is that an adverb stands alone. 
1313
7838480
4240
130:43
A preposition is always followed by a noun. So for example, ‘outside’. 
1314
7843280
6560
130:50
‘outside’ can be an adverb? For example, ‘we were waiting outside.’ 
1315
7850480
5360
130:56
It's an adverb. It stands alone. 
1316
7856400
1760
130:58
But it can also be a preposition. For example, ‘We were waiting outside his 
1317
7858720
7280
131:06
office.’ It goes with a noun. 
1318
7866000
2240
131:09
Another example, ‘I kicked the ball around.’ ‘around’ is an adverb, in this case it 
1319
7869680
6800
131:16
stands alone. But it can also be a preposition. 
1320
7876480
3920
131:21
‘I kicked the ball around the field.’ It goes with a noun. 
1321
7881200
5040
131:26
Okay? So an adverb stands alone. 
1322
7886800
2720
131:29
A preposition is followed by a noun. Now let's practice pronunciation. 
1323
7889520
3600
131:33
please repeat after me. ‘We were waiting outside.’ 
1324
7893120
4720
131:40
‘We were waiting outside his office.’ 
1325
7900640
2240
131:46
‘I kicked the ball around.’ ‘I kicked the ball around the field.’ 
1326
7906880
7600
131:58
Very good, guys. Let's now move on to practice, shall we? 
1327
7918560
3360
132:03
Okay, guys. Let's do a bit of extra practice. 
1328
7923040
2800
132:06
I have a few example sentences for you to 
1329
7926400
3040
132:09
spot adverbs of place. First example, 
1330
7929440
3760
132:14
‘John looked around but he couldn't find his wife.’ 
1331
7934560
3600
132:19
Now remember, adverbs of place, answer the question – ‘where?’ 
1332
7939680
5920
132:27
Can you spot the adverb here? 
1333
7947040
1680
132:30
Of course, it’s the word ‘around’. Where did John look? 
1334
7950080
4800
132:35
He looked ‘around’. Second example, 
1335
7955600
4640
132:41
‘I searched everywhere I could think of.’ Now where did I search? 
1336
7961360
6800
132:49
‘everywhere’ ‘everywhere’ is the adverb. 
1337
7969440
2640
132:53
‘Let's go back.’ Now what's the adverb in this sentence? 
1338
7973600
4320
132:58
It’s ‘back’ - of course. Where? 
1339
7978480
2400
133:01
‘back’. Next example,  
1340
7981600
3280
133:05
‘Come in.’ Where? 
1341
7985520
2720
133:09
‘in’. Okay, the adverb is ‘in’. 
1342
7989520
2160
133:13
Okay, so adverbs of place answer the question – ‘where?’. 
1343
7993440
4080
133:17
Okay, Let's practice pronunciation. Please repeat the sentences after me. 
1344
7997520
3920
133:22
‘John looked around but he couldn't find his wife.’ 
1345
8002960
6880
133:32
‘I searched everywhere I could think of.’ 
1346
8012400
2800
133:40
‘Let's go back.’ ‘Come in.’ 
1347
8020720
6160
133:51
Good job, guys. Okay, guys. 
1348
8031280
3040
133:54
You now know a lot more about adverbs of place. Now I know it's hard to learn about all these 
1349
8034320
7520
134:01
adverbs, but don't worry, you'll get there. 
1350
8041840
3280
134:05
You just need a bit of practice. Okay? 
1351
8045120
2400
134:08
Now I'm gonna carry on talking about adverbs in my next videos, 
1352

Hello, everyone. And welcome to this English course on adverbs. 
1358
8094480
4000
134:59
In this video, I'm gonna talk to you about adverbs of degree. 
1359
8099120
4720
135:05
Adverbs of degree tell us about the intensity of something. 
1360
8105040
4800
135:09
The power of something. Now in English, they're usually placed before  
1361
8109840
6560
135:17
the adjective or adverb or verb that they modify. But obviously, as always, there are exceptions. 
1362
8117040
8000
135:25
And there are very common adverbs of  degree that I'm sure you use all the time. 
1363
8125920
5840
135:31
Uhm... ‘too’, ‘enough’, ‘very’, ‘extremely’, But there are so many others. 
1364
8131760
8960
135:41
Okay? So let's dive into it and learn  
1365
8141520
3520
135:45
about adverbs of degree. Let's have a look at a few  
1366
8145040
7280
135:52
examples of adverbs of degree. Especially how they are used  
1367
8152320
5520
135:57
with adjectives, adverbs and verbs. Now adverbs of degree are usually placed before  
1368
8157840
9360
136:07
the adjectives and adverbs that they modify. And before the main verb of the sentence. 
1369
8167200
6640
136:15
For example, in the sentence, ‘The water was extremely cold.’ 
1370
8175200
6240
136:22
You have the adjective ‘cold’ and the adverb  ‘extremely’ that modifies the adjective cold. 
1371
8182080
8800
136:30
And as you can, see the adverb is placed before the adjective that it modifies. 
1372
8190880
6000
136:38
Second example, ‘He just left.’ In this case, the adverb ‘just’  
1373
8198240
7600
136:46
comes before the verb ‘left’, which is the main verb of the sentence. 
1374
8206399
5200
136:53
‘She is running very fast.’ Now in this case, we have two adverbs. 
1375
8213439
6721
137:00
The adverb ‘fast’ and the adverb ‘very’ that modifies the adverb ‘fast’. 
1376
8220160
8399
137:08
And as you can see, our adverb ‘very’ is placed before the adverb that it modifies. 
1377
8228560
7120
137:16
And finally, ‘They are completely  exhausted from the trip.’ 
1378
8236800
5280
137:23
The adverb completely modifies  the adjective ‘exhausted’ 
1379
8243359
5440
137:28
And is therefore placed before it. I hope you understand, guys. 
1380
8248800
6639
137:35
Let's move on. Okay, guys. Let's practice pronunciation now. 
1381
8255439
1440
137:36
Please repeat after me. ‘The water was extremely cold.’ 
1382
8256880
4960
137:45
‘He just left.’ 
1383
8265680
1440
137:50
‘She is running very fast.’ 
1384
8270960
4880
137:57
‘They are completely exhausted from the trip.’ 
1385
8277120
3040
138:04
Good job, guys. Let's move on. 
1386
8284160
2080
138:07
Some very common adverbs of degree in  English are ‘enough’, ‘very’ and ‘too’. 
1387
8287280
6800
138:14
Let's look at a few examples. ‘Is your coffee hot enough?’ 
1388
8294960
4720
138:20
So in this case, our adverb ‘enough’  modifies the adjective, ‘hot’. 
1389
8300560
5521
138:28
‘He didn't work hard enough.’ In that case, our adverb ‘enough’ modifies 
1390
8308319
6961
138:35
another adverb, the adverb ‘hard’. And as you can see, the adverb ‘enough’ 
1391
8315280
6560
138:42
is usually placed after the  adjective or adverb that it modifies. 
1392
8322479
5280
138:50
Another example is ‘very’. ‘The girl was very beautiful.’ 
1393
8330160
4640
138:55
So the adverb ‘very’ modifies  our adjective ‘beautiful’. 
1394
8335760
4560
139:01
‘He worked very quickly,’ So in this case, our adverb ‘very’ modifies 
1395
8341600
6160
139:07
the adverb ‘quickly’. And as you can see, ‘very’ is usually 
1396
8347760
5280
139:13
placed before the word that it modifies. And finally, our third example is ‘too’. 
1397
8353040
7279
139:21
‘This coffee is too hot.’ It modifies the adjective ‘hot’. 
1398
8361600
5760
139:28
‘He works too hard.’ In that case, ‘too’ modifies the adverb 
1399
8368640
6160
139:34
‘hard’. And as you can see, ‘too’, is usually placed 
1400
8374800
5519
139:40
before the word that it modifies. Okay? I hope you got it. 
1401
8380319
5280
139:46
Let's move on. Let's now focus on pronunciation. 
1402
8386160
1040
139:47
Please repeat after me. ‘Is your coffee hot enough?’ 
1403
8387200
4319
139:54
‘He didn't work hard enough.’ 
1404
8394720
1840
140:00
‘The girl was very beautiful.’ ‘He worked very quickly.’ 
1405
8400479
7521
140:12
‘This coffee is too hot.’ ‘He works too hard.’ 
1406
8412240
6720
140:22
Okay, guys. Let's move on. Okay, guys. 
1407
8422880
3599
140:26
Let's do a little bit of extra practice with a few example sentences. 
1408
8426479
5280
140:33
‘He speaks very quickly.’ Can you spot the adverb of degree? 
1409
8433040
5680
140:40
It's ‘very’. And it modifies the  
1410
8440240
3040
140:43
other adverb of the sentence, ‘quickly’. 
1411
8443280
2640
140:47
‘He speaks too quickly.’ Now, another very common adverb of degree, 
1412
8447200
6399
140:53
‘too’. Be very careful. 
1413
8453600
2640
140:56
There's a difference between ‘very’ and ‘too’. ‘Very’ is a fact. 
1414
8456240
4960
141:02
‘Too’ means there's a problem. Okay? He speaks so quickly that you cannot understand. 
1415
8462080
6720
141:08
‘He speaks too quickly.’ Another example, 
1416
8468800
4720
141:14
‘My teacher is terribly angry.’ Where is the adverb of degree? 
1417
8474240
6000
141:21
It's the adverb, ‘terribly’. That modifies the adjective, ‘angry’. 
1418
8481680
5601
141:29
‘They were almost finished.’ 
1419
8489040
2000
141:32
Can you spot the adverb? It's ‘almost’. 
1420
8492960
4080
141:37
And it modifies the verb, ‘finished’. Okay? 
1421
8497040
3439
141:40
So we're not finished yet. We're ‘almost’ finished. 
1422
8500479
4160
141:45
And finally, ‘This box isn't big enough.’ The adverb of degree in this case is the adverb 
1423
8505920
8399
141:54
‘enough’ and it modifies our adjective ‘big’. 
1424
8514319
4480
141:58
And remember, ‘enough’ usually goes  after the word that it modifies. 
1425
8518800
5920
142:06
Okay? I hope you get it, guys. Time for some pronunciation practice. 
1426
8526800
2400
142:09
Please repeat after me. ‘He speaks very quickly.’ 
1427
8529200
4560
142:17
‘He speaks too quickly.’ ‘My teacher is terribly angry.’ 
1428
8537120
7359
142:27
‘They were almost finished.’ ‘This box isn't big enough.’ 
1429
8547359
8480
142:38
Good job, guys. Okay, guys. You now know a lot more about 
1430

Hello, everyone. Welcome to this English course on adverbs. 
1438
8610560
4480
143:35
In today's video, I'm going to talk to you about adverbs of manner. 
1439
8615040
5200
143:41
Adverbs of manner tell you how something happens. And they're usually placed after the main 
1440
8621439
8480
143:49
verb or after its object. Let's take a look at a few sentences. 
1441
8629920
6240
143:57
‘He swims well.’ The adverb ‘well’ tells you how he swims 
1442
8637359
8400
144:05
and is placed after the main verb ‘swims’. ‘He plays the piano beautifully.’ 
1443
8645760
8320
144:14
The adverb ‘beautifully’ tells you how he plays the piano 
1444
8654080
4080
144:18
and is placed after the piano which is the object of the verb to play. 
1445
8658720
6240
144:26
Hope you get it. Let's get into more detail now. 
1446
8666080
3040
144:32
Adverbs of manner are usually placed after the main verb or after the objects. 
1447
8672800
6880
144:39
For example, ‘He left the room quickly.’ The adverb ‘quickly’ is placed after the 
1448
8679680
7440
144:47
object, ‘the room’. Now just so you know,  
1449
8687120
4160
144:51
some adverbs not all of them, but some adverbs,  
1450
8691280
3199
144:54
can also be placed before the verb. So in this case, you can also say, 
1451
8694479
6160
145:00
‘He quickly left the room.’ Let's practice pronunciation. 
1452
8700640
3200
145:03
Repeat after me. ‘He left the room quickly.’ 
1453
8703840
6000
145:11
‘He quickly left the room.’ 
1454
8711280
1760
145:16
Good guys. Let's move on. 
1455
8716640
1760
145:19
What's very important for you to know is that an adverb of manner cannot come between a 
1456
8719120
7760
145:26
verb and its direct object. Okay, so it must be placed  
1457
8726880
4559
145:31
either before the main verb, 
1458
8731439
1920
145:33
or after at the end of the clause. So let's take a look at a few examples. 
1459
8733920
5280
145:40
‘He ate quickly his dinner.’ Now this sentence is incorrect. 
1460
8740479
6641
145:47
Okay? ‘ate’ is the verb. 
1461
8747120
2479
145:49
‘his dinner’ is the direct object of the verb. So the adverb ‘quickly’ cannot be placed 
1462
8749600
8160
145:57
between those two. Okay? 
1463
8757760
2240
146:00
So you should say, ‘He ate his dinner quickly.’ The adverb is at the end and that's correct. 
1464
8760000
7760
146:08
Or ‘He quickly ate his dinner.’ That's also correct. 
1465
8768479
5521
146:14
The adverb is placed before the main verb. Another example, 
1466
8774000
5840
146:20
‘He gave me gently a hug.’ Now this is incorrect. 
1467
8780560
6000
146:26
You cannot separate the verb ‘give’ from its direct object ‘a hug’. 
1468
8786560
5681
146:33
So two correct sentences would be first, ‘He gave me a hug gently.’ 
1469
8793120
6640
146:39
with the adverb at the end of the sentence. Or 
1470
8799760
3280
146:43
‘He gently gave me a hug.’ The adverb comes before the verb. 
1471
8803840
5280
146:50
Hope you get it. Let's now practice pronunciation. 
1472
8810080
1520
146:51
Please repeat the sentence after me. ‘He ate his dinner quickly.’ 
1473
8811600
6320
147:01
‘He quickly ate his dinner.’ 
1474
8821760
1760
147:07
‘He gave me a hug gently,’ ‘He gently gave me a hug.’ 
1475
8827439
8400
147:18
Good, guys. Let's move on. 
1476
8838479
1761
147:21
Time now to practice. Here are a few example sentences for you to 
1477
8841280
5359
147:26
spot the adverbs of manner. ‘He swam well.’ 
1478
8846640
4720
147:32
As you can see, we use the adverb ‘well’. It tells you how he swam, 
1479
8852640
5839
147:38
And it's placed after the main verb, ‘swam’. ‘The rain felt hard.’ 
1480
8858479
6721
147:46
Again, our adverb ‘hard’ tells you how the rain fell, 
1481
8866640
5040
147:51
And is placed after the verb. ‘The children were playing happily.’ 
1482
8871680
6561
147:59
The adverb is… Can you find it? 
1483
8879840
2880
148:03
‘happily’. Of course. 
1484
8883840
1760
148:07
‘She angrily slammed the door.’ Can you see the adverb? 
1485
8887439
5200
148:13
It's ‘angrily’. How did she slam the door? 
1486
8893760
3920
148:17
‘angrily’. And finally, 
1487
8897680
2000
148:20
‘Slowly she picked up the flower.’ Can you spot the adverb of manner? 
1488
8900479
5681
148:26
It's ‘slowly’. And it's at the beginning of the sentence, 
1489
8906880
3920
148:30
Because we want to emphasize the manner. And this is also something very common when 
1490
8910800
6800
148:37
you read books. Okay, guys. 
1491
8917600
2420
148:40
Let's now practice pronunciation. Please repeat after me. 
1492
8920020
2780
148:44
‘He swam well.’ ‘The rain fell hard.’ 
1493
8924160
6239
148:53
‘The children were playing happily.’ ‘She angrily slammed the door.’ 
1494
8933520
7440
149:04
‘Slowly she picked up the flower.’ 
1495
8944479
3360
149:10
Great job. Okay, guys. 
1496
8950479
2080

3120
149:20
Adverbs are extremely common in English. And they will make you speak a lot better.
