your

verbs

my name is Alicia and in this lesson we are going to look at the verb observe, let's begin, so the

basic

definition of the verb observe is to focus your eyes on something that is moving, usually We hope it moves so now you're watching this video in one sentence let's watch a movie later can I call you back?

I'm watching a baseball game, so let's look at the conjugations of this verb present watch watches past seen past participle seen Progressive observation now let's talk about something additional meanings of this verb the first additional meaning is to stay with someone or keep something to ensure safety , how to protect that thing or protect that thing examples I have to take care of my neighbor's children for a couple of hours, can you take care of my plants? for a while next month, okay, so in both sentences we see that the verb watch is used to mean ensure the safety of something in the first example sentence, I have to look after my neighbor's children, so we are ensuring the safety of something. children's safety. in the second sentence we use plants, can you take care of my plants?

That doesn't mean forever, like watching plants grow, it just means making sure my plants are safe while I'm out of town for something similar, it doesn't mean watching my plants forever just means making sure my plants are safe, like taking care of them while I'm out of town for example, so also the nuance here, the feeling here is that this is just a temporary situation, so when we're taking care of someone's kids or taking care of someone's pet while they're out it's just a temporary situation okay, let's go to the second additional meaning for today uh the second the second meaning of look is to be careful with something be careful with something examples look at your language you need to watch your weight, so in both we could replace be careful with look , so in the first we could say be careful with your language, in the second be careful with your weight, in other words, there is some kind of danger or you should be careful because something about your behavior or something you have said or that you have fact may not be a good idea, so be careful with that, but we say observe rather than be careful with that.

Additionally, we can also use beware as an established phrase that means to be careful in general, so if we are in a situation where we quickly want to warn someone of something like a danger, something bad could happen, we can say be careful. quickly so be careful doesn't mean look or look at something, it means be careful, we always say be careful if you have time and if you want to be specific you can say be careful with something like be careful with that car or be careful with that child, be careful with those bees, be careful with your computer, something is going to fall like we always say, be careful or just in quick situations, be careful just means be careful, also strange, let's move on to the first variation, so the first variation is Look at it, look at it, so look at it, it also means be careful, like being careful or just regularly looking at your something, but looking at it is very casual and actually a little aggressive, so looking at it implies that if you don't take care of yourself, it could do something bad to you. you like it is then it is a pretty aggressive phrase examples look at it I'm walking you better look at it child you better look at it or else I'm going to do something bad to you I don't

know

so it's aggressive it's an aggressive phrase and you shouldn't use it with people who are above you.

You shouldn't use it in polite situations. I wouldn't really recommend using it, but you might see it on TV shows in other media. Look at him, it means be careful, but he's aggressive, okay, come on. to the next variation the next variation is to guard guard this means like to be on guard to protect yourself as to protect something this expression means like to protect yourself from danger and often means alone as you are often doing alone while someone else likes to sleep, so What examples, I'm going to do the first watch tonight, you keep watch, I'm going to get some sleep, so watch means staying awake or alert looking for something that could be dangerous so you can see.

This in movies where people travel somewhere and camp on the side of the road, like maybe in The Lord of the Rings or something where everyone sleeps but one person is awake near the fire watching if something dangerous happens and then wakes up others. people if something dangerous is coming, then they are a kind of guard in that case, so stay alert in that case, okay, let's go to the last variation, ah, the last variation, okay, the last variation is to take care of the back, take care of your back. back um so to watch your back let's use that to watch your back means be cautious with your safety be cautious with your safety so be careful with yourself not because of some physical object like a bus that's going to come pick you up I don't

know

, no, it means that someone, an enemy, might try to do something bad to you, so watch your back, examples of this, you better watch your back, Stevens, one more example, hey, watch your back, you're making enemies, so in these cases watch your back is said quite seriously and with the meaning that you should be careful someone might try to hurt you in the future it could be physically it could be financially it could be like your reputation whatever watch your back means be careful like someone might try to hurt you somehow, though, be careful.

This expression having your back is totally different from having your back, so having your back is totally different, having your back is a supportive phrase like "I've got your back." I'm supporting you, no problem, I'll try to help you or I'll try to support you, I'll try to keep you safe, I've got your back, no problem, watching your back means being careful, you could be in danger, you should be careful, you have very different enemies, be careful your back, I've got your back, so I hope you have some new meanings for the verb observe that you can use there if you have any questions, comments, or if you want to try using the verb.

verbs

and see you next time bye hello everyone welcome back to know your verbs my name is Alicia and in this episode we are going to talk about the verb follow, come on, so the

basic

definition of this verb is to move behind someone or something and go to the same place where that person or thing is going examples I will follow you to the park follow me I know where we are going the conjugations of this verb now present follow follows past followed past participle followed progressive follow now let's talk about some additional meanings of this verb okay, the first additional meaning is understand understand examples I don't follow you, you follow, so we can actually replace the word follow with understand here in the first example sentence I don't follow you we can say I don't understand you means I don't understand what you say or I don't understand what you're thinking I don't follow you sounds more casual like I don't follow your line of thought line of thought means like the path you took to reach your destination think wisely follow you it just sounds more casual it's like I can't understand I can't follow the path of your logic in other words so I don't follow you in the second sentence it is a question do you continue? meaning do you understand? you understand what I'm saying then follow can mean understand simply well, let's go to the second meaning of this verb then the second will happen after something else will come after something more examples of this a delicious dessert followed by roast chicken a luxurious hot spring experience follows a massage on this day tour in these example sentences we see follow is used to describe something that happens after something else in the first example sentence.

I mentioned a dessert that followed a roast chicken, so yes, the dessert comes first in the sentence, so I said that a delicious dessert followed a roast chicken, which means that a delicious dessert came after a roast chicken. so followed yes followed shows what came after the other thing, so we see the same thing in the second example sentence, a luxury hot spring experience follows a relaxing massage, so yes, a hot spring experience luxury hot springs comes first in the sentence, however, we are using the verb follows, so that means comes after a massage in this case, so yes, it comes first in the sentence, but this use of follow means come next, that means we are presenting a sequence this way, let's go to the third meaning which is obey to obey so obey something well examples of this obey, you followed the instructions the instant Ramen decided to follow his manager's advice, so In both sentences we mean obey with the verb follow so that we can say you? obey the instructions on the Instant Ramen but obey sounds pretty strong, we use obey for similar people who are in positions of power above us, so in this case with Rahman it's the packaging, so we usually say follow the instructions on the packaging, that is, obeying the instructions on the package, but obey is a pretty strong word, we use follow instead in the second sentence she followed her manager's advice it's like she obeyed her manager's advice so yes, a manager is in a position of power above you, sure obey is what you normally use when we are given strict orders for something like the army or something from the president something from very high up and very strong orders like obey your commanding officer or something like that in this case is advice meaning it's probably not that serious it's like a suggestion and he's a manager so he probably has a relationship in the workplace so we'd probably use taking someone's advice in this case, so follow means obey, but it's not as loud or strong, much softer, so the fourth meaning is to be very interested in something and watch that thing closely examples of this I don't really follow sports, She has been following the news very closely, so the first example sentence is negative.

I don't really follow sports which means I don't really have much interest in and therefore I don't really watch a lot of sports in the second example sentence she has been following the news very closely it means she has been very interested and You've seen a lot of news lately, so this use of follow is quite convenient as it includes meanings of being interested. in something and observe something carefully or closely to follow a topic or follow an activity, which means to be interested in that activity and to do, see or read about many foreign things, let's look at some variations of this verb, the first variation is to do the same do the same this means to do the same as the person mentioned above in the sentence or in the situation examples my manager just resigned from the company I think I'm going to do the same her boyfriend decided to leave the party so she Followed the For example, in both examples we see that one person makes a decision or takes an action and the other person does the same.

We demonstrate this with the expression follow the example, so in the first example my manager resigned from the company. I think I'm going to do the same thing, so I think I'm going to do the same thing as the person I just mentioned, so my manager resigned from the company. I think I'm going to do that too. I think I'm going to do the same in the second one. example sentence her boyfriend decided to leave the party so she did the same so he left the party she decided to do the same thing as him she did the same thing in the past tense she did the same thing he did so following his example means doing the same thing as the person mentioned above the next variation is move on to move on we often use move on or get on with something this means to keep a promise or do something you said you were going to do examples I hate it when people don't follow through with their plans, that's true, that's called flaking, okay, example sentence number two, I'm going to move forward with my resolution to find a new job, okay, so here we look at a couple of examples, so the first one is a kind of negative statement.

I hate when people don't follow their plans, which means I hate when people don't do the things they say they're going to do, so I hate when people make a plan and break it or make a suggestion. and don't do that so they don't go ahead with their plans. In the second example, the speaker previously made a resolution. A resolution is a type of goal, so the speaker previously made a resolution. The speaker decided to follow the meaning. to try to achieve that resolution to try to do that action that means thatthe speaker is going to find a new job so the speaker is going to do what he promised to do the last variation to follow today is to follow follow in someone's footsteps follow in someone's footsteps this is easy to imagine so follow the same steps than someone who walked before you, however, that person who walked before you is usually a parent or perhaps a grandparent or someone older than you. that you admire example sentences that he is following in his father's footsteps and became a lawyer that she decided not to follow after all, he is following in his mother's footsteps, so following in someone's footsteps usually refers to a career choice , so in the first example sentence we saw a lawyer who decided to follow in his father's footsteps, meaning he decided to do the same thing as his father as a career. become a lawyer, which means she chose the same as her father, in the second we see a different situation, she decided not to follow in her mother's footsteps, which means she chose a different career path than her mother or chose a different life path than your mother, so Following in someone's footsteps means doing the same thing, usually the same career as your parents or grandparents, so those are some new ways to use the verb follow.

I hope that if you have any questions, if you want to try to form a sentence or if you know other ways to use Follow, feel free to try it in the comments. Great, so if you liked the video make sure to like it, subscribe to the channel if you haven't already and visit us at

class101.com for some other good study tools thank you very much for watching this episode of know your verbs and us see you next time bye beep beep well for some uh I really have to sneeze hello everyone welcome back to know your verbs my my name is Alicia and in this lesson we're going to talk about the verb stop come on so the basic definition is finish doing something to stop example sentences, stop hitting me, I need to stop laughing so much, now let's look at the conjugations of this. verb present participle past stopped stopped Progressive stop now let's talk about some additional meanings of this verb the first meaning here is to pause during an activity examples let's stop for lunch they are stopping at the supermarket on the way to the party so each of these examples the sentences show a break in an activity the first example sentence, let's stop for lunch could mean maybe there are people working, let's stop meaning, let's take a break, have lunch and get back to the activity, so let's take a break, let's do this, come back later, let's take a break, let's stop for lunch, the second example sentence, they will stop at the supermarket on the way here means that people from here will come somewhere, maybe attend a party, and on the way, on the spot Upon arrival, they will stop at the supermarket.

So pause the activity of going back and forth to the supermarket to buy something and then continue coming to the party or continue coming to the event so that there is a pause. We can use stop to mean pause in some other activity. The next meaning is to block something to block something we often use this for, like a hole or a leak, or we need to keep something out of something else, like a liquid that runs like water, for example, we stopped the pipe that was leaking with special glue, we covered the hole with old cloth, so you You will see in the second sentence that I used the preposition above to cover something when you use stop to refer to Fix a hole, that is, put things in a hole to fix a hole, usually We use the preposition to go up a step, to go up a whole step. plug a leak, plug a crack, I guess mainly for a hole, so when you want to talk about blocking something else, we can say stopping something like stopping water, it also means blocking water, but if you're talking about things like filling a hole to prevent something from entering you can use stop the hole which means block something so we could say stop the water from entering the river or prevent insects from entering the house by putting up a screen. the door, for example, you are preventing them from entering the third meaning of this lesson is to cause it not to move, to cause it not to move, examples, can you stop the car?

I feel bad, stop moving. I'm trying to take a photo of you to cause not move means maybe seize operation seize means stop, but C means to bring something to an end, just as in the first example sentence, stop the car means I want the car Do not move. I feel bad, so I cause something not to move. move is to stop the fourth meaning of this verb for this lesson is not to operate not to operate this is especially used for examples of similar machines uh oh my computer has stopped working they are stopping work at the factory early today so this means some operation it's not happening so something is not working it's not continuing so in the first example my computer stopped working I used the past tense stopped stopped my computer stopped working means like oh it's not working so it was working now it didn't stop it's not working anymore in the second sentence it is about a factory in the second sentence I am using the progressive form they are stopping work in the factory early today so this sentence means that there is a plan in the factory to stop work early today we use the progressive form " "stopped work early" to refer to a certain plan, a plan that was determined before the conversation, they are stopping work today, which means that operations will cease, they are not going to continue, let's continue with some variations now the first variation of the verb stop is to stop by to stop by means to visit for a short time so stop by the house stop by the store stop by the supermarket other examples stop by the house at some point and say hello we'll stop by the bar later it just means make a short visit we'll stop by for a place or you can simply say we will pass by later it means that if the listener understands the place, you can leave it the place we will pass by later okay the next variation is stop at nothing, don't stop it, nothing interesting phrase this expression means someone is willing to do anything to achieve something willing to do anything so we will stop we will cease for no reason we will stop at nothing to achieve something examples I will stop at nothing to get a date with that star of cinema he will stop at nothing to get the ship he wants, meaning these people will do anything to achieve their goal they will stop at nothing to achieve their goal, so those are some maybe new ways to use the verb stop for you .

The basic definition of the verb to read is to absorb information using. letters or symbols through the eyes or by touch people can read through touch also in example sentences I have been reading interesting books recently I read a great article yesterday let's see the conjugations of this verb present read reads past red past participle red Progressive reading, so let's look at some additional meanings for this verb. The first meaning is to interpret something as if you were reading it, which means that you are interpreting something that is not a symbol, it is not letters, but you interpret it as if you could read.

Somehow, let's look at some examples. It is very difficult to read. My best friends can read me like a book. Well, the first example. It is very difficult to read. It means that it is very difficult to interpret. It's very difficult to understand. So maybe someone you know. their emotions are not always very clear or it is not easy to know what they are thinking we can say that that person is difficult to read as if it is difficult to interpret their thoughts it is difficult to interpret them in the second example sentence I said that my friends can read I like a book, that means my friends think I'm easy to understand.

I am easy to interpret through my body language image or my face or the sound of my voice. It's very easy to read me. It's very easy to interpret me. It's like reading a book, so it's very easy to understand the meaning it has, so this type of reading we can use it for people or maybe we can even use it for similar situations too, to read something like its symbols, although it's not simple . The second meaning of this verb is to assign meaning to something else. Assign meaning to something else. So, give meaning to something.

So the examples in this passage can be read totally differently. How did you read that message? So here reading does not mean. like physically receiving the information in a message or in a book, it means understanding or giving a certain meaning to something, so in the first example, this passage can be read totally differently, it means this passage where the meaning of this passage could be understood in a different way, so that doesn't mean that there is a different way of reading, like physically taking in the information it contains, it means that there is a different way of understanding the meaning of that passage in the second example sentence, does how did you read that message? it means how you understood that message or what was the real meaning that you understood in that message what you got from it how you read that message so reading doesn't just mean looking at the symbols and letters, even if it seems that way here in this type of situations it means how assign meaning to that text.

Let's go to a third meaning of the verb read then, so we can also use read to indicate something like with similar signs or time, let's look at some examples. the clock also says the sign says visitors not allowed so here I am using the present tense for these two example sentences the clock reads means the clock indicates to a clock or the clock says two o'clock so when there is any indication there is some kind of message from a sign on a clock from I don't know a bulletin board maybe whatever it is an indication, we can use the verb read to talk about that, so the sign reads on a clock, the sign reads visitors are not allowed to indicate, let's look In some variations now for this verb, the first is to read to read something, this means to believe in a deeper meaning of something, however, in some cases there is no deeper meaning, It's like we think there is a deeper meaning to something, but it really exists.

It's not, let's look at some examples of this, she's being very nice to him. I'm trying not to interpret it, but I wonder if they're dating, don't read their comments, okay, so they both mean like, actually, in They've both been kind of given a negative situation in the first one, I'm trying not to interpret it, It means I'm trying not to see a deeper meaning in this situation, but I'm wondering if they're dating because she's being really nice to him hmm, so there's a bit of curiosity in the second example sentence. don't read their comments it means don't imagine there is a deeper meaning there don't read their comments there is nothing else you can be concerned about here it's just this comment so don't think there is something behind the comment okay let's go to the second variation to read today the second variation is to read between the lines read between the lines um this means to understand something that is It is not said directly, this is a very important skill and I think that many countries have different ways of expressing this concept, but in In English we say read between the lines to see or see or understand something that people don't say explicitly.

The manager said he was happy with last month's performance, but reading between the lines I think he wishes we had done better and I think if you read between the lines you'll see that the company isn't doing so well, so in the first sentence Example Watching this presentation, the manager was happy with the performance, but reading between the lines I think he wishes we had done better, suggesting that perhaps there is a comment or some information in there that makes the speaker think the manager he is actually hiding some disappointment, so there is something in the manager's behavior that perhaps indicates that his true feelings are different from his happy type of presentation in the second example sentence.

I think if you read between the lines you will see that the company is not doing so well again, that means that there is something the speaker has noticed or has felt or has heard something that suggests that actually the company is not doing very well although it seems that way. This is a useful expression for social situations such as if someone doesn't quite understand the feeling of a conversation. or like himkind of sense in a room that we can say like oh, that person can't really read between the lines, can he be here? So that's how we use it, those are some new ways to use the verb read, I hope you did. any other usage you know of or if you have any questions or comments or want to try to make a sentence with this verb, feel free to do so, of course, if you liked the video, be sure to give us a thumbs up, subscribe to the channel and visit us on englishclass101.com to see other good things too thank you very much for watching this episode of know your verbs and see you next time bye bye pass pass pass hello everyone my name is Alicia welcome back to know your verbs in this episode we are going to talk about the verb open come on, let's see the basic definition of this verb the basic definition is to move something so that it is not in a closed position open something open something then examples open the door it's hot here you should open a window okay, let's look at the conjugations for this present verb open open open past participle open past progressive opening now let's talk about some additional meanings for this verb first the first additional meaning is to remove from a container or part of a container as if to reveal something, so some examples of this open your birthday presents, this box is very difficult to open, so in both we are talking about revealing something from inside a package or inside a container, in the first, the first example sentence, I said open your birthday gifts, that is, reveal your birthday gifts.

They are in a bag or in a box or something so open the box open the container to reveal what is inside in the second this box is very difficult to open it means that this container in this box in this case it is difficult to remove the top from or it's hard to get inside it's hard to open this box okay the second additional meaning is to be ready like to be ready to do business or to be ready for service some examples I think department stores are opening right now the cafe is opening at 9 am, so this use of open refers to the time when a business or service begins, so in the first example sentence I said, I think the department stores are opening right now, in that case I am using the progressive tense or continuous, the department.

The store is opening right now, we would use opening only in very specific situations where for example we are standing in front of the department store and we can see the staff opening the door or maybe opening the doors so we can see the staff really opening. the store to the customers, so the process of unlocking the doors or maybe raising the blinds and curtains, that process is called opening the store, so in that case, if we see that process happening, we can say that I believe that department stores are opening right now. So, and that's perhaps one of the only cases where we would use the tense progress of this verb in the second sentence.

The cafe opens at 9am. m., which means that the cafe begins its activity at 9 a.m. m., we use abre to do that. go to the third meaning, meaning three for this verb is to prepare something on the computer, so the second meaning was to prepare something like a business or a service, we can also use this for computers, things on computers, examples, I couldn't open the file you sent, can you open the slideshow please? So they both mean open something, prepare something on a computer so that a file we can use it as software if you want, you can also use it for email, like open your email any time you need. prepare something on a computer and start that or you need to look at a new document, you need to look at a web page or whatever, you can use the word open to describe that, open your browser, open a web page, open a file. of these we can use the word open to do it.

The fourth additional meaning of this lesson is to start an activity to start an activity, so it generally refers to activities where people come together for something, let's look at some examples. She opened the conference with an inspiring quote. speech I would like to open today's meeting by thanking everyone for coming, so in these sentences we use open to mean beginning or I would like to start something with the first example sentence in which she opened the conference with an inspiring speech. She started the conference, that means she was the first topic to be discussed. I suppose that at the conference the first thing she did was give an inspiring speech that was the beginning of the conference, the beginning of the activity, which is the talk with which she opened the conference. an inspiring speech the same in the second sentence I would like to open today's meeting by thanking everyone for coming so I would like to I would like to open the meaning I would like to start today's meeting or the first thing I would like to do in today's meeting that is to say thank you so open means like starting the activity by doing something strange, let's look at a couple of variations of this verb now the first variation is to open someone's eyes open someone's eyes this does not literally mean "like" walk up to someone and physically open your eyes.

I guess you could do that, like open your brother's eyes, that's a little weird, like that's not really an expression, we have this expression for opening someone's eyes, even though it means making someone realize something they did. I didn't realize it before, so it was kind of shocking or surprising. Something like that. Examples: You really opened my eyes to how delicious Thai food is. I think the experience of planning a big event really opened his eyes to how difficult it is. In these example sentences, the speaker or someone involved in the sentence noticed something and we use the expression open one's eyes or open someone's eyes, which means he or she noticed something special, so the second variation What I want to talk about is opening up. open up open up means share your feelings or share your emotions talk about yourself open up to people that's often what we say like oh I wish he would open up to me that kind of thing examples of this I wish you would open up and tell me about you, it is very difficult for her to open up before trusting people, so opening up to open up means sharing oneself, he likes to be relaxed and be able to easily talk about himself and talk about his emotions so that we don't actually have the opposite closed like, oh no, she closed like she stopped sharing about herself, so opening would mean sharing openly, the opposite would be closing, so opening up is normally, at least in Western culture, considered to be something.

Pretty positive to be able to share about yourself and have enough trust established with another person that you can be open to using it as an adjective. That's some variations and some different meanings of the verb open, I hope. that you learned some new things and maybe you can use them in your daily life too, of course if you have any questions, if you know a different way to use the verb open, let us know in the comments also if you like the video.

The first example sentence is negative. Crime doesn't pay, meaning crime doesn't give you an advantage. Not your crime. it doesn't give you any benefit so that's a negative example there are no benefits in the second example I said it's worth having good connections so it's worth having it means it provides an advantage it's a benefit to have good connections so we can say it's worth it having maybe rich family members, oh that would be nice, I don't know, but it's worth having good connections, it means there is some kind of benefit to having good connections, so we can use payment to refer to the advantages , okay, I mean, two for this.

The verb meaning two is a pretty broad and open meaning, so we can use pay to mean give something, but there are some set expressions we use when we want to give something with the verb pay, so I'll present a couple of very common examples here First, hey, pay attention. I'm talking, we're here to pay your respects to our grandfather. Well, in these example sentences I used two very common expressions. The first was to pay attention, so in this case it's a command. What I'm saying is pay attention. pay attention I'm ordering you or it's like a strong request that says pay attention essentially means give me your attention give me your focus pay attention is the expression we use for that hey pay attention I'm talking listen to me give me your focus I'm talking, so in that expression that we use, pay attention, in the second example sentence I used the expression pay respects or we can also say pay our respects, both are fine, but pay respects means giving respect to another person like me.

I'm here to pay my respects to my grandfather. We would say this in a serious ceremony, like a funeral, maybe or some kind of memorial ceremony or I don't know, something that's very, very formal, like paying your respects to the emperor, maybe so cool. In super formal situations we would say I am here to pay my respects to someone, usually it is a person, so in this case you are paying your respects and interestingly in this expression we tend to use the plural regards here to pay my respects. to someone, so it's not the singular respect, but respect, which means that maybe there are many different ways to respect that person, so we use pay respect, which means to give our respect, okay, let's go to meaning number three for this verb, so the third meaning is to suffer the consequences.

For something to suffer consequences means to receive punishment, essentially let's look at some examples: you will pay for your crimes against humanity and we drank too much last night and we are going to pay for it this morning. Okay, both example sentences show suffering some kind of punishment. suffer as punishment for something so in the first one I gave a very dramatic sentence you will pay for your crimes against humanity means that you will suffer the consequences you will be punished for your crimes against humanity humanity means all people so someone has done something very bad, go to receive a punishment, you will pay.

It sounds very formal, maybe a little old-fashioned, like you might see in a horror or fantasy movie, something like that. Yes, the second one may be a more common example for some of you. We drank too much last night, we're going to pay for it this morning, so the speaker is speaking this morning after drinking too much the night before, which means we're suffering now. The punishment for drinking too much last night is happening now. We are paying for it, we are suffering. Right now it's not a good thing, so we can use pay to mean suffer for something bad that you did right, so let's take a look at some variations of this verb and how we can use it first. one, uh, pay back, pay back, so pay back means pay back the money you owe someone, sorry it took me so long to pay you back, hey, you didn't pay me for dinner last week, so which you can hear in these example sentences, we can pay someone back we don't have to say like uh to pay them back I need to pay my friend back, you can actually put the person you need to give money to between the payment and the return, so I need to pay my friend back, that's okay or I I need to pay my friend back, that's okay too, you'll hear native speakers use both.

I think I tend to put it between paying and returning. I'd say I need to pay my friend back for the coffee the other day or I'm sorry, I forgot. pay you back I would probably separate the phrasal verb in my case, so to pay someone back means to give them themoney you owe him. The second variation is pay to pay. This means finishing payments on something. Here are some examples first. I finally paid off my house, when do you expect to pay off your credit card? So paying for something is something you've been paying for for a long time, not just one payment, but a house is a great example, maybe for many years you pay. some money each month that's called a mortgage or loan, I guess, but you pay money each month and finally, when you finish making those payments, we say: I already paid that, I paid for my house or I paid for my car, for example. to finish making payments for something, we can do the same with credit cards, since I pay my credit card every month it means that I finish making payments or pay the full amount of my credit card every month in my example sentence, when do you expect?

Paying off your credit card means how long you think or at what point you think you'll finish paying off all the money on your credit card, so paying off means finishing making payments on something really good, so those are some. maybe new ways to use the verb pay for you if you have other ways to use the verb pay or if you want to try to make an example sentence feel free to do so in the comments section if you have any questions of course please ask us know also thank you very much for watching, make sure to like the video, subscribe to the channel and visit us at englishclass101.com thank you very much and see you next time, goodbye, you will pay for your crimes, you will pay. for your crimes it's like you're perfect hello everyone welcome back to know your verbs my name is Alicia and in this lesson we are going to talk about the verb know let's start the basic definition of the verb know is to see and talk to someone for the first time some examples we haven't met I want to meet a famous person someday okay, now let's look at the conjugations of the present verb meat meats past met past participle met progressive meeting okay, now let's look at some additional meanings of the verb today's first additional meaning is meet or achieve something examples this apartment meets all my requirements we met our company's sales goal for last month, so in both examples see that the verb meet is used to mean meet or achieve something like this apartment meets all my requirements requirements this apartment meets all my requirements everything I need is in this apartment everything I need is in this apartment this apartment meets my requirements in the second example sentence we met our sales goal for the month means that we met our sales goal sales for the month we did the things we had to do we achieved our goal we met our goal in the past dense okay, let's go to the second meaning of this verb the second The meaning is to wait for someone or something, so example sentences of this: can you meet my mom at the station?

I'll meet you in front of the restaurant, so in both sentences the idea is that you're going to meet someone, yeah, so maybe. you already know the meaning of the verb like, for example, regularly meet someone like I meet my mom for coffee once a week or I meet my friends for lunch once a week, that's fine, that's a little different because the feeling here is that you go to a place to wait for someone you like to wait something like pick him up wait to meet him and go somewhere with him you go there to wait to meet and then go but we just use the verb meet in this case so Can you meet my mom at the station? means can you go to the station, wait there for my mom to arrive, and then go somewhere else, like maybe back home to my mom in the second example sentence?

I'll meet you in front of the restaurant It seems like the speaker is going to go to the front of the restaurant, wait there for the listener, and then proceed to meet their food, for example, so we can use me to refer to waiting for someone or something in a specific place before let them go next, the third meaning of this verb is to join things so that two things or two or more things come together examples of this the river meets the ocean here the paths meet in the forest so the river meets the ocean here then the space where the two things come together, that is the place where they meet, then thing A and thing B come together and meet here, so they meet there, same with the second sentence, then the two paths met in the forest, so maybe they are two different paths. there is a point where they meet we can say that the two paths met in the forest so things come together like this we can use the verb meet to describe that relationship let's talk about some variations of this verb the first variation is meet in the middle of way to meet half way to meet half way means to make a commitment or simply compromise let's see some examples of this can we meet half way regarding this topic?

I want to go on a hike and you want to have a picnic, we'll meet halfway and have lunch in the park so these are expressions we can use to refer to a commitment in my first example sentence. I used a question: can we come to a middle ground on this issue? a little more friendly meeting each other halfway sounds like maybe the speaker wants to give in a little the speaker is willing to let go of his opinion or his side a little bit in the second example sentence, I gave a pretty clear situation, a person wanted go on a hike someone else wanted to have a picnic and so the commitment was to have lunch in the park, so that's meet halfway, meet halfway, get engaged, make a commitment and have lunch in the park, so we can use meet halfway to refer to getting engaged. between a couple of different ideas, so why do we say meet each other halfway?

Because it's as if there were two opinions and they were completely different from each other, like imagining opinion A and opinion B on a line, and right here halfway is the point of compromise. They are saying, let's meet halfway, let's meet at this point of commitment and continue further, so meet halfway means to commit, okay, let's move on to the next variation, the next variation is meeting one's creator or meeting one your creator to know someone's creator means to die, it is an expression that means to die, but we tend to use it a little. It's a strange thing to say, but we use it in a fun way, so we don't really use this expression to talk seriously about death, so for example. phrases of this I sent that spider to meet its creator.

I am afraid of the day when I have to meet my creator. Well, in the first example I said that I sent that spider to meet its creator. This is an interesting way of saying, "I kill the spider." so I sent that spider to meet its creator first. Let's talk about the creator here. Why do we say know your creator or know your creator? This refers to a belief in God or a belief in a higher power, so the creator is a person or I should. Don't say a person, then the creator would be the being that created you, that created this person that created this thing, so to know the creator is to know the person or to know the thing or to know the entity, whatever your belief, that created you or that created the thing that you are talking about, so when I say that I sent that spider to meet its creator, then I say that I sent, I sent, that is, I caused the spider to leave, so I pressed the spider.

Actually, I didn't like the email. a spider somewhere, but I made the spider go to meet its creator, in other words, I caused the spider to die, um, I killed the spider, that's what happened there in the second sentence, I'm afraid of meeting with my creator means I'm afraid to die but it has a casual feeling to meet my creator or meet once the creator has a not so serious feeling about death but it means to die so those are some different ways to use the verb to know , I hope that was useful for you and you acquired some new vocabulary words that you can use, of course, if you know other meanings of the verb meet, if you want to try to make an example sentence or if you have any questions, feel free to ask in the comment section, of course, if you liked the video, give us a thumbs up, subscribe to the channel if you haven't already and visit us at englishclass101.com for other good study tools.

Thank you so much for watching this episode of know your verbs and see you soon goodbye clean clean not the kind that you eat first what's the first word these are not the main words okay, feel free to do it or contact us in the comments I guess It was a little strange. I don't know where that came from. I'll do it again. Well, hello everyone, welcome back to knowing your verbs. My name is Alicia and in this lesson we are going to talk about the conjoined verb. Let's start with the basic definition of. the verb set then the basic definition the basic definition is to put something in a place or position some examples of this I always put my keys on the counter put your bag next to the table okay, let's look at the conjugations of this present verb set sets past set past participle set Progressive configuration now let's look at some additional meanings for this verb, so the first additional meaning of the verb set refers to the position it means as the place or time a story happens, some examples of the movie is set in New York City, my favorite book is set in the distant future, so in these examples we see that the verb set is used to refer to the place or time a story takes place, so in the first example I say the movie is set in New York City means the story takes place in New York City, so set means the story takes place in New York City, but we use set to explain that my favorite book is set in the distant future, so this refers to a time, so the setting uh, the time in which the story takes place is in the distant future, so distant future means very, very far away , in the future, into the future, not the past, the future, so in the distant future, this story happens in the distant future, but we use set, so my favorite story my favorite book is set in the distant future like this which here we see it used to refer to the location or the moment in which a story takes place the second meaning for today is to cause someone or something to be in a condition so this is very open, this is a very broad meaning, let's look at some examples, some common examples here first, you set my house on fire, the performance animal was released, okay, so in the first example, a very dramatic example I said, you set my house on fire, so here I said set fire and then the object here is my house you set my house on fire and then the condition is on fire so on fire means it's burning you know Bad flames my house is going to fall into pieces you set my house on fire means you caused my house to be on fire call you caused my house to be on fire that's bad of course in this case, but set refers to causing an object to be in that condition, we see the same thing in the second example sentence, the acting animal was set free, so here we see that it is the condition in which the animal, a performance animal, probably in a zoo or a water park or something, was released, became free, so the performance animal He was not free before he was released. it was made to become free, so we can see that a set is used to cause a change in the condition of something.

These are a couple of examples of how to do it. The third meaning of today is to set something, that is, to set something like a policy or a new condition like a record something like that, so examples of this, the school is setting new rules for next year, they are about to set a new record okay here set is used to mean set something in the first example sentence I said the school is setting new rules for next year which means the school is setting now this school is in the process of setting new policies for next year, new rules, so establish what I have used in the progressive tense means to establish or create in the second example sentence. are going to set a new record means they are going to set are going to create a new record, so we use set in this case to set a record, let's go to the fourth meaning of this verb, the fourth meaning here is to have something ready to use like this that we set up the camera we set up the iPad we set up the lights for this, you know, the filming operation here, so set up is a very, very common way to use the verb set up to set up something other examples I spent all day setting up my computer, Will you set the alarm for 8 a.m.? m.?

So in my second sentence you heard me say, will you set the alarm for 8am? m.? That means it's like setting the alarm, in that case. I don't like preparing something to use. I'm preparing a feature on that case, sowe don't say if you will set the alarm for 8 a.m., we will just say set the alarm for 8 a.m., we would say set the computer because I want to use it I am not setting a function of the computer we could say set the clock on the computer we wouldn't say set the clock we would say setting the clock so setting the clock is like setting the correct time Setting something is like preparing it to use it, so setting up a computer well, setting up software, fine, but setting a clock, setting an alarm, is like deciding a time or establish some kind of functionality that we don't need. use up in those cases, so this will be an addition to meaning number four.

I want to make just a quick note on how it's often used. Well, with this meaning when we use the verb set to refer to preparing something for use, as with a computer, for example, it will often follow set with the preposition up, so, for example, I want to set up my computer or I spent the entire day setting up my computer in my original example sentence, so you might see set plus up, commonly used with up, not always if you're talking more about functionality like setting an alarm or setting the clock, then you don't need to use a preposition, but when you talk about preparing something for use, you will often see the preposition up used in addition. configure to configure something, one more example could be placing the coffee maker in the coffee maker so that you are preparing it to use it, but we don't say set the coffee maker, we say place the coffee maker in the coffee maker. creator to prepare it for use let's talk about some variations of how you can use the verb set first one to go back to go back to go back means to cause a delay in something examples I broke my wrist and delayed my project schedule that's true this The error has set us back two weeks, so here we are looking at a pushback to delay something that caused a delay, so I broke my wrist and delayed my project schedule, so I broke my wrist and caused my project schedule to be delayed. would delay.

I caused a delay in the project as a result of breaking my wrist to cause a delay and the second this mistake has set us back two weeks so this mistake has set us back so meaning caused us a two week delay so Let's configure it and we see the object there. is included in the verb, the phrasal verb set us back, so what set us back in our project and whatever we're working on, this bug has set us back two weeks, the bug set us back, so go back . or we can also use it as a noun a setback the second variation is going out to go out this actually has two meanings it can mean starting a journey, especially like a journey on foot, leaving towards something can also mean starting an activity so let's look at some examples first , they left early in the morning, he set out to build his own company, so in the first example sentence, they left early in the morning means they left, they started their journey early in the morning, so this is Especially in the case of walking trips, it's not just for walking trips, but it has the feeling of a little bit more of a body trip in some ways, so, in a way, we start riding a bike or something, something so it's happening bodily, I guess if that makes sense, then in the second example he set out to build his own company, so establish means that he started the activity of building his own company, that means or that she set out to become the best of her class, for example, so she started the activity of working to become the best in her class, so setting out to do something is starting to work to achieve something, so starting an activity usually with some similar goal in mind, setting out to do something, so those are some maybe new ways.

For you, you can use the word set if you know other ways to use the verb set. If you have any questions or just want to try your hand at some example sentences, feel free to ask in the comments.

Thank you very much for watching this episode of know your verbs and see you soon, bye, what was it? I have set up the ok hello everyone welcome back to know your verbs my name is Alicia and in this episode we are going to talk about the verb walk let's start let's see the basic definition of this verb the basic definition is to progress on foot examples I walked around the neighborhood yesterday walk around the office to stretch your legs now let's look at the conjugations of each present verb walk walks past walked past participle walked progressive walk now let's talk about some other meanings of this verb the first additional meaning for this lesson is to make an animal walk let's see an example, be sure to walk the dog later, have you walked the dogs today?

Here you will see the dog walking. This is quite common for dogs that we don't really walk, that is, we don't. We don't really take the animal out and go for a walk with the animal, so we normally use this expression with dogs, we don't usually say like walking the cat or walking the bird or walking the sheep. Don't know. I usually use it with dogs, so walk the dog, so it's part of the animal's exercise, necessary exercise, so we use walking before the dog in this case, so make sure you walk the dog. Have you walked the dog? means to make the dog walk the second meaning.

What I want to talk about in this lesson is accompanying someone on foot, so you travel with someone on foot. Examples of this she accompanied her friend to the station. Will you walk me home? Okay, the first example sentence says, she walked me to the station. He walked me to the station, so we continue the past tense walked with the person accompanied in this case I she my friend Mimi she walked me she walked me to the station on foot is what this means, but we use walked to make it nice and short and easy to understand, she walked me to the station in the second example sentence, will you walk me home?

It's a request, it means, could you walk me home so that you are within walking distance? You can walk home. ask someone else if they could walk me home please, to accompany someone on foot, we can use walk to make that third meaning, as it is actually a more advanced meaning, this meaning is to avoid like avoiding criminal punishment, Let's see In some examples of this, the accused walked despite a lot of evidence. I do not think it does. The judge is harsh, so walking here means avoiding punishment, but we use it in similar legal situations.

I think the reason is because when a criminal or someone who has been accused of criminal conduct is not convicted, meaning they are not guilty or allowed to go free, they are not taken to jail, they can walk out of court or they can Get out of prison or wherever you are. They are being held wherever they are held, they can walk, so we use the verb walk to mean avoid punishment, but it is usually only used in criminal or legal situations, so this is a more advanced use of this verb, but walk as but. I think he will walk means I don't think he will be allowed to go free, so I don't think he will escape.

I don't think he will avoid punishment. I don't think he'll walk free now. let's talk about some variations of the verb walk walk on eggshells walk on eggshells super interesting, so walking on eggshells means to be very cautious, in other words, to be very, very careful, to be very careful, so the picture of eggshells is very fragile. it's easy to break them so walking on eggshells means you have to be very careful otherwise you will break the eggshell so walking on eggshells means you have to be very careful let's look at some examples of when we might use this expression my manager is In a very bad mood today everyone is walking on eggshells.

I had to walk on eggshells at that dinner last night, so if you don't know this expression walking on eggshells, you might think what this person is talking about when you hear this expression. like everyone is walking on eggshells today but that just means everyone is being very very careful everyone is being very cautious in the first example my manager is in a bad mood everyone is walking on eggshells today means that everyone is being very, very careful because the manager is in a bad mood and people don't want to make him unhappy in the second example I was walking on eggshells at dinner last night means that I was being very careful at dinner last night maybe it was a high pressure dinner situation so walking on eggshells means being very careful well let's go to the second variation so I prepared two variations that are very similar here they are for walk and walk very similar walk as a word enter enter and walk in, let's see enter first so enter means to hit something when walking so you're walking walking walking and bumping into something examples of this I walked into a wall this morning have you ever walked into a glass door?

Yes I've run into a screen door too and who hasn't, who hasn't run into a door seriously and does it all the time so it means you're walking and I hope you accidentally bump into something like you're walking of course , if you want to improve this, you can say "I ran into a door", that means your speed is different, so walk towards a door and run towards a door, it's just that the speed is different there, but you can change the verb of movement. if you want, but now let's take a look at uh, to enter into something so different, very different meaning, actually, to enter into something, it means to enter into a situation accidentally, it's usually something like something scandalous or embarrassing. you walk into something accidentally, maybe you don't want to see it or you're surprised to see it, so let's look at some fairly mild examples of this first, she caught us gossiping, they caught us watching YouTube videos in the office.

You're watching YouTube, okay, so going into the past tense is my first example: She caught us gossiping, so what was the situation she accidentally ran into us? So we referred to a group of people we were gossiping with and someone accidentally walked into that situation. she was very uncomfortable oh no we were gossiping maybe about that person we don't know but in some kind of awkward or uncomfortable situation she found us gossiping about us gossiping in the second example sentence uh they found us watching YouTube videos on the office, so again we were discovered, in this case we are watching YouTube videos in the office, of course we could change the sentence like when I found my coworkers watching YouTube videos in the office, we could change that means accidentally breaking in in a situation that's a little awkward in some ways, so you can find a lot of different examples of how this is used, but I'll leave it up to you, so those are some different ways, maybe for you to use the verb walk.

I hope you found it useful. If you have any questions, if you know other ways to use the verb walk, or if you just want to try to make an example sentence, feel free to do so in the comments section, of course. did you like the video give us a thumbs up subscribe to the channel and visit us at englishclass101.com to see other good things thank you very much for watching this episode of know your verbs and see you soon bye bye that's how you walk oh that's just Hello everyone , welcome back to knowing your verbs.

My name is Alicia and in this episode we are going to talk about the verb to lead. Come on, let's look at the basic definition of this verb. The basic meaning of this verb is to control. a group of people examples I have been asked to lead today's meeting do you think you will do a good job leading the company here are the conjugations of the present verb lead lead past lead past participle LED Progressive leadership now let's talk about some additional meanings of this verb means one um so the first additional meaning for today is to be first or to be winning, which means to be in first place.

Example: Our team leads by 10 points at halftime, the Brazilian team leads by two points, so one point here. So maybe you can see from the example sentences that this is commonly used in sports to talk about a team or a person who is winning at something, some kind of competition, and when you want to talk about the score or the difference between the winning team. or the person who wins and the next person who is in second place or who is losing we can use buy as a preposition before the score or the time or any difference between the winner and the loser or the winner and the person in second place like this In the first example sentence I use the expression lead by 10 points, which means that our team is winning is in the winning position by 10 points, so there are 10points difference between the winning team and the losing team.

We see the same thing in the second sentence. In the second sentence we saw the Brazilian team leading by two points, so at half time, Mark, the Brazilian team was leading by two points, which means they were two points higher or had two more points than the losing team or the second place team, so we can use the preposition by to explain the difference, let's go to the second meaning of this verb, the second meaning is to cause someone to do something and often it is in a somewhat negative way. Examples of this made me believe I would do a lot of things. money in this deal you made me think you were interested in dating me, so in these examples you can think of the verb lead as the caused meaning here and it's like you made someone believe something that isn't true or caused some kind of action. but it was not based on reliable information, it was somehow a fake situation, so there is a kind of feeling of having been deceived, so there is a kind of feeling of having been deceived here, so you made me believe or led me to Think or did you lead me to I don't know something else led me to believe led me to think uh led me to decide I guess something like that but the idea is that there is some deception involved there is some misinformation is on purpose too So this is a negative way of using this verb and the reason we use lead instead of cause is because lead sounds like um, the person who is giving the information or the object that is giving information as if they somehow have control over the situation in which the intention that led me to believe is included is stronger than what led me to believe because it led me to believe it sounds like someone is actively trying to change your point of view or change your way of thinking, let's go to the third meaning. so uh the third meaning the third meaning of this verb is to show someone the way, often in front of a group or in front of another person, so in examples of this, she took us to the conference room, they took us outside the building with this meaning. uh, as you'll see in the fourth meaning that we'll talk about in a moment, we can use a number of prepositions, so we're talking about showing someone the way to something, so we're moving on so we can use uh prepositions of movement to explain that movement, so I said as if she took us to the conference room, that is, to a destination to which we used the preposition or they let us leave the building, so outside the building, leaving a place where we could say that they took us. we next to then we can use these prepositions of movement to talk about the way in which the direction someone takes us shows us the way to a place let's look at the fourth meaning then the fourth meaning is to go towards something to go towards something , then this means that a person is not leading but it is like a path or a path or there is some other type of sign or symbol that is moving in one direction or there is some type of indication of similar movement on a similar path or path , so examples of this, this road leads to Los Angeles, a trail of crumbs leads to the kitchen, okay, here you can also see, although it is not one person leading another, some kind of movement is still suggested, so we use these.

The same prepositions of movement to talk about the situation, so like a trail of crumbs led to the kitchen, that is, a trail of crumbs went from one area to the kitchen, so we can see that there is some movement going to the kitchen in this example sentence or in this one. The road leads towards Los Angeles, so heading towards Los Angeles, we can use these directional words along with lead in this case to show where something is going. Let's look at some variations of the verb to lead. The first is to guide someone. lead someone then lead someone means make someone believe you are romantically interested in them he led me for three months he just wanted information about my company we see negative situations or negative expressions along with leading someone Leading someone means you are behaving a way that makes another person feel that you are romantically attracted to them.

It's not like that, usually there is some other motivation, there are other goals that it guided me to for three months. His goal is actually to get information about the company, but in the sentence he makes the speaker think that he is romantically attracted to him, so there's something like that. it's like a way to get the information you want so you're not actually romantically attracted you just want this information and you're using this person to get it so we say guide someone to make them think you're romantically attracted , but actually it is. Maybe they don't want some other benefit from you, the next variation is leading with something, so leading with something means putting the most important information or the most interesting information first, so we use this a lot in newspapers or news. reports or magazines that lead with something that leads with the most important information, examples, the New York Times led with a story about the president tonight, the news led with a story about a terrible accident downtown, so in each One of these implication idea is that the most important story in these example sentences is the first story, so in the first example the New York Times begins with a story about the president, so the New York Times think this is the most important story, it's about the president they are. start your post with a story about the president in the second example sentence it's about news so it's probably TV news so TV news starts with a story about a terrible accident in this case that means that they think is the most important story or the most important. interesting story at the time, so starting something for a publication or media outlet means putting the most interesting or important information first.

Well, that's all for this lesson. I hope you have learned some new meanings of the verb lead and some. variations maybe if you have any questions, if you know other ways to use the verb lead or if you just want to try to form a sentence, feel free to do so in the comments section, of course, if you liked the video please send us a message .

Goodbye, I'll take you to the verb lead, look at this. is what I mean, so here, as you'll see, you also think he'll say hello to everyone, welcome back to know your verbs. My name is Alicia and in this episode we are going to talk about the verb to move, let's see the basics. meaning of the verb to move so the basic definition of the verb to move is to go to a different place or a different condition let's see the conjugations of this verb movement present past past participle moved past participle moved Progressive movement now let's talk about some additional meanings of this verb so the first additional meaning for today is to persuade or incite someone to do something some examples of this we felt moved to act when we saw the destruction after the disaster the documentary prompted me to volunteer in my community so in both examples we use the mode verbal in this case to explain uh that we are asked to do something in the first example sentence I said that we feel moved to act moved to act means like taking action to do something because of a disaster, so in this case the speaker vi like a disaster the horrible damage of a disaster and the speaker and another person were moved, persuaded or prompted to take action, so in the second example sentence we see the same thing that the documentary prompted me to volunteer in my community, so which here we see the The same pattern was moved plus the infinitive form was moved to act was moved to volunteer in my community, so in this case I was moved to volunteer in my community because of a documentary, so the documentary prompted me or convinced me to volunteer, so we can use move to mean how he pushed or persuaded us to do something, so meaning two is to activate emotions or feelings.

Examples of this second meaning. The film moved me to tears. We were so moved by your generosity, so here we use "moved" to refer to an activation of our emotions. so in the first example sentence, the movie made me cry, so in this case it made me cry, it's like it moved me so much, it activated my emotions so much that I started crying, so actually that's a common expression that made me cry. something was so emotionally charged that I started crying as a result, so in the second example sentence we were so moved by your generosity, it means your generosity, then the listener did something very generous and that caused the speaker to feel strong emotions or his emotions . like they were activated, agitated, or awakened, so in these example sentences, move refers to strong emotional responses to something.

The third meaning is to make a formal proposal for something, so we use move to suggest something. It is often used in similar laws or perhaps similar laws. procedures, but we can also use it in casual situations if we want to make the proposals seem more formal in some way, so in the examples I proposed ending this discussion, he proposed postponing the next meeting for a week, so here, in the first sentence of example, I moved to end the discussion means that I propose that we end the discussion, but saying that I make the proposal sounds more formal, actually a little more legal, a bit in the second example sentence, he proposed to postpone the next meeting for a week, we're seeing moved used to mean propose again, proposed that we postpone meaning in other words so propose is fine but you could substitute it like he proposed we postponed the meeting or I propose that we end this discussion but move just has a more legal sound , the fourth meaning.

What I want to talk about in this episode is changing residences or simply changing houses, in other words, examples. I'm thinking about moving this summer. Have you ever moved to a new city? So here move just means move house, but we just use move, we don't say move apartment or move house, maybe in British English we use move house, but in American English we just use move, uh, I need to move or I have I have to move or I hate moving for example, so use move to mean move your house and usually from the context of the discussion we can understand what kind of move it refers to, it doesn't mean that you are taking your house and moving it somewhere place, it means that you are taking your body so that you are moving your body to a new residence a new home and going there let's talk about some variations of the verb move so the first variation is to move products move products this means to sell things or have transactions in something some sales examples The team has been moving a lot of merchandise lately.

We need to move a lot of inventory next month. So these example sentences mean to sell something. So the sales team has been moving a lot of merchandise. It means that the sales team has been selling a lot of things. like making transactions of some kind in the second example sentence, we need to move a lot of inventory next month means we need to sell a lot of things from our inventory, but we only use the verb move to shorten it, so instead of we need to sell a lot of products, We can say that we need to move a large amount of inventory.

Instead, those are some new meanings of the verb move. If you have any questions or would like to try to make a sentence with this verb, please feel free.

The musician lives forever means that the musician's work remains in our memories and on our records forever, like Bach, for example, or Rachmaninoff, the composers are a great example of this, like the composers of classical baroque romantic music, those are great examples, before the Internet existed, before photos and videos, There Was You Know written. they work on written musical pieces so that their work their musical work lives on in their compositions, so there is a record of the things they did and in the second example sentence my grandfather is still alive in photos means that my grandfather remains or the image of my grandfather our memories of our grandfather remain in the photos the first variation of this verb is the expression to live up to live up to then this means to behave in accordance with something let's look at some examples I'm not sure I can live up to your expectations of me, he never keeps his promises, so fulfilling something is like acting on something else, so in the first example sentence I'm not sure I can live up to his expectations of me means that the speaker is He is worried that he cannot live up to the listener's expectations, so the listener has some expectations for the speaker and the speaker is worried that the speaker cannot live up to those expectations, but we say that he cannot live up to your expectations in that case.

In the second example sentence, he never keeps his promises means he never keeps his promises, he never acts on his promises, so he promises, but he doesn't deliver, there is no comparable behavior there, he doesn't deliver. his promises. he doesn't keep his promises the second variation is to live with live with means like tolerate or endure or deal with something some examples how much of this bad behavior you can live with if I put my family through a scandal, I don't think I can live with myself, okay, so we see here, living with something means like the ability to tolerate something, so in my first example, the question is how much of this bad behavior can you live with, so we use this verb to mean tolerate or tolerate, so put up with it, we also use it in the same way as live with here, so how much of this are you going to allow to go on before you say something, like how?

Much of this you can live like this Behavior Another person's bad behavior is there all the time living with you so how much of this can you live? like how much I eat not much so maybe I can't live with this anymore to go away, I don't know, so that's one in the second example sentence about a family scandal, so I used the expression I don't think I can live with myself, Living with myself actually means I don't think I would. Being able to tolerate myself because of my bad behavior. So if my family experienced a scandal because of something I did, they wouldn't be able to tolerate me, which means I would be very upset with myself.

I would be unhappy. I would be disappointed in myself. We use the expression I couldn't live with myself. I hope those are some new ways you can use the verb live.

Thank you for watching this episode of know your verbs and us. See you soon bye hello everyone welcome back to know your verbs my name is Alicia and in this episode we are going to talk about the verb to hold come on, the basic definition of the verb to hold is simply to have in your hand have something like hold my beer hold my beer or I want to hold your hand hold my beer or I want to hold your hand for example, so let's look at the conjugations for this verb present tense maintain past sustained past participle sustained progressive celebration thank you, so now let's talk about some additional meanings for this verb.

The first additional meaning of this word is to have a position or some special distinction, so let's look at some examples of this. he held the world record for eating donuts for three years she occupies the highest position in the company, so in these situations we see like a position, someone's job, someone's position or some kind of special distinctive mark, like a world record holder or a record holder, so, huh. he occupies or she occupies a position currently can refer to someone's job, so we can also use it for something we had in the past, some special distinction we had in the past, like having a world record or maybe for a distinction present, we can say she has the world record for something, so a profession, a job, a special kind of recognition, we can use the word hold to describe them.

The second additional meaning, generally speaking, is to restrict, restrain, as well as withhold something. Some examples of this. Fire, he has trouble controlling his temper, the first example sentence was don't shoot, if you've ever seen a war movie or maybe a historical drama, some kind of movie like that, you might have heard the expression don't shoot , then fire means shoot, so wait. means to restrict or stop doing something, so don't shoot means to stop firing your gun, hold your fire, so if you've ever seen a war movie, you may have heard this expression Hold Your Fire in the second, it has You have trouble controlling your temper, so keeping your temper is emotional control, so keeping your temper means being able to control your emotions, so usually when we say temper we mean our angry emotions, so he Having trouble keeping his temper means that it is difficult for him to control his angry emotions. or it's hard for him to control his anger, so control his anger, control his anger, but it sounds a little less direct.

The next meaning is to carry out as an event, for example, the company will hold a conference tomorrow. event at the concert hall last year, okay, in the first example sentence we see that the company will hold a conference tomorrow, so celebrate in progressive tense refers to a future plan that the company is carrying out, in In other words, the company is going to hold some event. tomorrow, the company will hold a conference tomorrow, but instead of saying we are going to hold it, we can say that the company will hold a conference tomorrow, which means that an event is going to happen in the second example sentence : We held an event in the concert hall. last year we see the past tense we celebrate an event, which means we carried out an event, some event happened there last year, but we can use keep or in this case the celebrated version of the past tense to describe that quickly, okay, Let's look at some variations in use. of this verb, the first variation is holding your breath, holding your breath means, uh, just keeping the air in your lungs, just like when you go swimming, for example, you hold your breath, so that's a quick example of that, but keep the air in. your lungs so don't get air in don't get air out that's holding your breath examples uh how long can you hold your breath?

She held her breath until his face turned red, so we can use this expression to mean keeping the air in our lungs. However, we also have a set expression which is don't hold your breath, so don't hold your breath means don't wait for something to happen because it's going to take a long time, for example if you wait you can you're going to get a big raise and a big house like next year or something, you really want this big bonus, I don't know, or something like that, you could tell your colleague or your coworker, yeah, I really want it. this I really want a lot more money your coworker might say ah, don't hold your breath, which means it's going to take a long time, so the picture in this situation is that if you hold your breath you can only do it. for a short period of time, a few seconds, maybe a minute or so, so don't hold your breath, it means that the suggestion you made will take a long time, so you will get hurt or get in trouble if you wait for it to happen. happen quickly, so don't hold your breath, the next expression is to hold your horses or hold one's own horses, so this expression means to hold back or maintain enthusiasm, so it's like if you are too excited, calm down, in others words, some examples.

Hold Your Horses there will be plenty of time to celebrate when the project is finished. Hold Your Horses, we're not done yet, so in these two example sentences we see that Hold Your Horses means there's too much enthusiasm and you need to slow down. I guess horses are used here because horses are like animals that want to run fast, they're like Fast, they have a lot of energy, but saying hold your horses means keep them back, keep them restrained, but not literally horses, it means like their energy. Your enthusiasm means hold back for now and a lot of times that just means because we're using the verb hold back, it means hold it back and then maybe later you can use it, but it doesn't mean stop your enthusiasm, it means just hold it back for now, so hold your back. enthusiasm. horses is another common expression, so those are some different uses of the verb hold.

My name is Alicia and in this episode we are going to talk about the verb lose, so let's get started. The basic definition of this verb is to lose something of your possessions. or lose something from its typical or usual location, for example, I lost my keys, I always lose a sock in the laundry, so let's look at the conjugations of this verb in the present, lose, lose, past lost, past participle lost, progressive loss, so now let's talk about some. additional meanings of this verb the first additional meaning of this is to suffer because I no longer have something, so examples of this I lost my father in the war, she lost her arm in a terrible accident, so in both situations there is a loss serious. serious suffering in the first example I lost my father means that my father died in the war in the second example she lost her arm in a terrible accident it means that she was separated from her arm as if her arm was so seriously injured that she no longer had it is as a result of the accident so these are serious situations of suffering or serious problems the second meaning is not using something so let's look at some examples ah, I lost a lot of money on this project and you are going to waste a lot of time if you don't work properly.more efficient.

Well, the first one I lost a lot of money on this project, which means I didn't use the money effectively or I didn't use my money in a good way. In this project I lost. money as a result of this project in the second example, you are going to waste a lot of time, in other words, you are not going to use your time efficiently, you are not going to use your time well, in other words, that is, three let's move on to the third meaning the third meaning is not to maintain something like not to maintain your similar mental state, for example, home, let's look at examples.

She lost her mind when she saw that her bank account had been emptied. and he ran too fast and lost his breath, so the first time he lost his head, it doesn't mean that his head separated from his body, it means that he lost control of it, he couldn't maintain his mental state, his mental condition because something else happened. like she lost her mind when she saw that her bank account had been emptied like she went crazy oh my god it was such a surprising situation she lost her mind she lost control in the second example sentence he lost his breath from running and couldn't control your breathing but we say you lost your breath or lost your breath, which means you couldn't hold your breath.

The fourth meaning is to get rid of something to get rid of something, so we see this in examples like you really need to lose something. weight oh and uh we lost our attackers by hiding under a bush you really need to lose some weight, which means you need to get rid of some weight from your body, you need to get rid of weight from your body in the second example, we lost our attackers means that we were separated, we were able to separate, we were able to eliminate the attackers from us because we hid under a bush, in this case I don't know what the situation is, but either way you are separating yourself from something. otherwise you are moving away from something else losing weight or losing your attackers in this case let's move on to some variations of this verb then okay first variation the first variation is to lose lunch to lose lunch this is an expression that we use that means to throw up means throw up lose your lunch examples of this ugh, I'm about to lose my lunch and someone lost their lunch on the plane, so in that second sentence it doesn't mean that someone forgot their lunch at their seat. on the plane this is an expression we use to refer to someone threw up on a plane someone lost their lunch on a plane but it sounds less disgusting uh to say lose your lunch uh it's like because the idea is like you ate lunch and then it came you backed away and you lost him he separated from you you lost your lunch that's the idea we don't say you lost your breakfast we don't say you lost your dinner we just say lunch I don't know why but that's the expression oh, I lost my brunch, I lost my brunch, I always lost my lunch, I always lost my lunch, so it means throw up, throw up, okay, the last variation of this verb is lose it, lose it, where is your emotional control lose it. so losing it means going crazy from losing emotional control, so examples of this my mom lost it when I said I spent all her money hmm and the second example my boss will lose it when he finds out that we didn't meet our goals for the month, it's okay, so in these sentences we see that in the first one my mother lost, it means that my mother lost emotional control, she could no longer maintain her emotional control, so she lost it, so in the second one there is emotional control. phrase my boss is going to lose control means that in the future my boss is going to go crazy when he sees that we do not meet our sales goals, then my boss is going to lose emotional control, he is going to lose control, so it is quite a casual expression that often means to go crazy for a bad reason, so those are some ways to use the verb lose that you maybe didn't know before if you have any questions or if you want to try to form a sentence, please feel You can do it in the comments section of this video.

Thank you very much for watching this episode of know your verbs. and see you soon goodbye don't lose focus on your studies hello everyone welcome back to know your verbs my name is Alicia and in this episode we are going to talk about the verb stand let's go to the basic definition of the verb pararse is to stand on your feet examples I am not standing do not stand in the street here are the conjugations of this verb present stand stands past participle stand past participle stand Progressive standing well now let's talk about some additional meanings of this verb i.e. one, the first meaning is to tolerate something that is negative or unpleasant examples.

I can't stand the sound of his voice, he can't stand the smell of gasoline, so in both of these examples there is something negative or there is something unpleasant involved in the first example. sentence is the sound of your voice so by saying I can't stand the sound of your voice it means I can't tolerate this negative experience which is the sound of your voice so in other words your voice sounds unpleasant your voice is negative I don't like it no I can't stand it I can't stand it in the second example sentence which was he can't stand the smell of gasoline in that sentence the smell of gasoline for him for whoever in the sentence is really unpleasant and he can't stand it, he can't stand the smell, can't tolerate the smell, but we use stand, I can't stand that thing, so something unpleasant, let's go to meaning two, two, additional meaning, two, okay, next meaning. is to be in or put in a place examples he is standing next to the tree.

I put the pictures against the wall, so in these examples we use the verb estar con as an adverb or preposition, so in the first example I said he is standing. use the progressive or the continuous standing he is standing next to a tree the next two so there is a positioning word there he is standing next to a tree so here is the tree next to each other so we normally use some type of preposition or as an adverb word there to describe the relationship in the second example sentence we saw the same thing. I placed the pictures against the wall, so here we are using the word against to show the relationship.

The pictures were placed against it, it looks like this, so if this is the wall and these are the photos, I put the photos against the wall so we could tell the photos. I leaned the photos against the wall, I guess, but we can also say that I put the photos up. against the wall, so Stuart says, imagine you're standing on your two feet, yeah, but pictures can also have um like their feet, the bottom of the picture is on the floor and we prop them up, we put them against the walls. as if we were standing. the object so we can see the image against the wall so we will use adverbs and prepositions with this meaning of the verb to Stan which means three means that three is to be at a certain height some examples of this the tower is over 400 feet tall she It was 170 centimeters tall when I was a teenager, so you can probably hear in both sentences that I am talking about the height of an object or the height of a person, so in the first example sentence I talked about a tower, so the tower was finished. 400 feet, so in the first example sentence I said that the tower is more than 400 feet tall, so I am using stands in the present tense to refer to its constant condition, so remember that we use the present tense to talk about facts general, so the tower holds. is located and then I said more than 400 feet tall means more than 400 feet is the height and then tall we use to refer to the height of the object in general, so the tower is more than 400 feet tall the same in the second sentence she stood 170 centimeters tall when she was a teenager, so we are using the measurement, so 400 feet 170 centimeters we are still tall and all of that is preceded by Stan, the verb to stand, so she was 170 centimeters tall tall when I was a teenager, although that is in the past tense.

We can use stand to refer to the height of someone or something, so the meaning of the number four for this verb is to have an opinion to have an opinion let's look at some examples, what is her position on gun control? I don't know where you stand on this issue, so this use of the verb stand is something we see a lot in politics, in the news, maybe in political debates or policy discussions, we use this type of stand to talk about an opinion we have on a specific topic, so we'll follow the verb be with or maybe with respect to or maybe with respect to then in my first example sentence I talked about gun control as the topic I said where are you? on gun control so what is your position on gun control in this sentence? about but we don't use about after the verb stand, we don't say what your position is on gun control, that's not an expression we use, instead we use on, what is your position on gun control and also normally do we use an expression like this? on very common or very well-known topics, so if you are debating something that is very, very specific, it is probably not a good idea to use stand, in which case we use it for very, very broad topics that most of the people are familiar with and what most people have an opinion on gun control could be an example or maybe what their position is on environmental issues, for example, something like that, a very general topic known in the second sentence we see the same.

I don't know what your position is regarding This topic is like a formal word that means about, again we don't use here, but it's okay to use regarding, so the same thing we saw in the first example sentence that we are introducing as a topic of discussion that is well known. in that condition in that state now let's look at some variations with the verb stand the first is to defend oneself or defend oneself this means to defend oneself against attacks generally verbal attacks a verbal attack is an attack with words on someone shouting or an argument examples of this you

must

defend yourself if you know that you are right the young woman defended herself we also want to present to you one that is also very similar to this one which is to confront to confront that means to defend against a specific enemy or a specific type of attacker, it can be verbal again, like this What examples of this I stood up to the scary manager or he stood up to his greedy owner, so in these examples where we're standing up to another person or standing up to something else, we're defending ourselves against some kind of negative thing external to us, so he stood up to his greedy owner, which means he stood up for himself against this person who's trying to, I don't know, take advantage of him. or something like that or I faced the scary manager, that means the manager there is some kind of Negative Force there with the manager, but I defended myself from that, so we can say let's face that specific person or that specific enemy or we can say defend yourself, so four presents the reason why we are defending, so I defended myself, we can also replace that like I defended my mother, I defended my younger brother at school, so when you are defending yourself someone else, you can use that expression, the next variation is stand out, stand out, this means to be noticeable, to be very noticeable examples, whoa, that guy's hair really stands out, this candidate really stood out from all the other applicants, so to stand out means to be. very noticeable in these example sentences, maybe this guy has big hair and we can really see it easily, we can say, wow, that guy's hair stands out or maybe he has bright neon yellow hair or something like that, something that is very noticeable in a person that we We can say "wow", that person really stands out physically, we can see him very, very well, we have that, but we can also use the Expression to stand out to talk about a person's abilities or his abilities, like when you review job applications, for example. like wow, this person has a really amazing skill set, he or she really stands out from the competition or really stands out from the other applicants for example, so you can talk about being able to physically notice someone very well or you can talk about notice someone so that their skills and abilities with the verb stand out very well, then those are some perhaps new meanings of the verb stand and some variations for you, of course, if you know other ways to use the verb stand or if you want to try to do an example sentence, feel free to do so in the comments section.

Thank you very much for watching this episode of know your verbs and see you soon bye hello everyone my name is Alicia welcome back to know your verbs in this episode we are going to talk about the verb keep let's start with the basics The definition of the verb keep is to have in possession, so I like to possess something or retain something is to conserve here are the conjugations of this verb in the present tense keep keeps timepast kept participle past kept progressive tense keeping now let's talk about some additional meanings Of this verb, the first additional meaning for this lesson is to prevent something from going somewhere.

This may mean preventing a person from leaving or going somewhere else or preventing an object from moving or going somewhere, let's look at some examples. She's our manager in the office, can you keep her there for 10 more minutes? Okay, next one, keep that car inside the gates, so don't let it out of the gates, keep it inside the games, meaning number two, additional meaning number two for the verb keep. make it stay in a condition or make it stay in a situation let's see some examples I'm sorry to make you wait so here I'm sorry to continue I'm sorry to make you stay in the waiting condition in the waiting situation I'm sorry to make you wait the boss has kept us wondering about the changes for months which was past participle the boss has kept us wondering so we remain in the state of wondering here the boss has kept us wondering for months so he has kept us wondering continuously over a period of months what is the meaning? of this sentence means that the number three for this lesson is simply to stay or continue something so this is a very broad example, let's look at a couple of examples first keep your head keep your head sounds very strange, so keep your head doesn't mean like hold your head, but the expression keep your head means to control your emotions, so here your head does not refer to your head as the object necessarily, it refers to your emotions, so control turning your emotions to hold your head means to continue your emotional state controlled, so if someone is getting too excited or getting really angry, you can say Keep your head, let's look at another example, but stay in your lane, stay in your lane, get together, so it's like imagining you're driving. , so Elaine. are the lines on the road those are the lines on the road that people can drive cars on so staying in your lane means staying in your lane in other words continuing in your lane we say keep but it doesn't mean keep , means stay in your lane, so if someone else, if maybe the person you're driving with is trying to move to a different lane, you can say: stay in your lane, just stay there, then it means stay.

Another example could be remaining silent. keep silent means to remain silent or continue. to be silent, but we simply say to be silent to mean to continue that state, the number four meaning of maintain is to persist in a behavior, so to persist means to do something many times, to continue doing something many times, in this case, a behavior, a behavior it repeats itself, then. let's see some examples this guy keeps calling me so a guy in this case keeps calling my phone keeps calling me so repeatedly this person calls me repeatedly keeps calling me another example we kept texting until they responded we kept texting until they responded i.e. we continually text messages repeatedly to someone or maybe a company until we get a response, then when we get a response we stop messaging, we keep messaging until they respond, let's move on to some variations of the verb keep. the first variation is to keep an eye on someone to keep an eye on someone this expression means to observe observe observe someone closely often also some examples yes she is watching me she is always watching the screen our boss keeps an eye on our work example keep an eye on him he is up to something if someone says keep an eye on him or keep an eye on her with that kind of suspicious intonation this is a kind of negative expression like that person is suspicious so look at that person, so keep an eye on him, but if you say it with a rising intonation, something like that like happy, like, keep an eye on him, he's doing exciting things, that means you should watch that person and expect something positive, because we have positive expectations for that. person, so this is an important phrase to listen to intonation, okay, the next example of that, although I'm watching you, I'm watching you, so again this is an expression where intonation is important. about you and I'm watching you have very different meanings so I'm watching you with that falling intonation sounds suspicious I suspect you I'm watching you if however we emphasize you with that kind of rising intonation in the sentence I'm watching you sounds like I'm waiting for things good of you I'm going to observe you with positive expectations the next variation is to keep my eyes open to keep my eyes open to keep my eyes open, so to keep my eyes open, I use this a lot in live broadcasts.

I think I say keep your eyes open for that or keep an eye out for that, so you can actually use keep your eyes open. open or keep one eye open is a bit of a strange expression, so let's start with keep your eyes open plural eyes two eyes keep your eyes open usually for something keep your eyes open for new ideas or I'll keep my eyes open for exciting announcement means that I will be on the lookout for an announcement or please be on the lookout for new ideas in the first example sentence, so keep your eyes open means be on the lookout for something be on the lookout for something the expression be on the lookout for means the same thing, but we use the singular I, so stay tuned for new ideas stay tuned for an interesting announcement we can use the singular or the plural eye or eyes so, did you learn a little more about the word keep?

I hope so, if you have some other meanings or if you know other variations you have any questions or if you want to try to make an example sentence, feel free to do so in the comments section, of course if you like the video please give us a okay, you can subscribe to the channel and you can check us out for more good resources at englishclass101.com thank you very much for watching this episode of know your verbs and see you soon bye hello everyone my name is Alicia welcome back to know your verbs in En this episode we are going to talk about the verb let's go, the basic definition of the verb let is to allow or allow something, so allow or permit uh the conjugations of this verb in the present tense, let's in the past, let in the past participle, let progressive. main tense now let's talk about some additional meanings of the verb met.

The first additional meaning of this verb for this lesson is to let us in or out of a situation, so let's look at some examples, please let us in when it's cold and when talking to the police. officer, for example, the police might say I'll let you go with a warning I'll let you go so in the first example please let us in please let us in means please let us in let us in it's cold outside so let us into a building in the second example the police officer says I will let you go with a warning I will let you go with the warning means I will allow you to leave but I will give you a warning, not a ticket to allow entry or exit something the following additionalThe meaning of this lesson is used as an imperative, so it is imperative, it is like proposing something or requesting something, so for example, let's see, see or consider these options, so I'm not using the contract here, let's see or consider.

It sounds more formal to use let us see or let us consider, but these are very common ways of making a request or making a proposal to a group of people like let's see, let's see what it does, let us see, it's like this is my proposal I request that we see something request that we consider something let us see let us consider these options the following additional meaning comes from British English we do not use this in American English but let can mean rent a room rent a room so again we do not use this in American English but it is common in English british let leave in a sentence he left a room to a young woman from another city rent a room another I'm renting a room to a rich couple let's talk about some variations of the verb let first one let go let go actually there are some meanings of let go I'll talk about two of them here one means to fire someone from a job to fire someone means to fire someone from your job from your job examples management decided to let half of us go this month, so let half of us go of us, half of us means that half of the employees leave, so letting go is divided by the people affected by the verb, so management decided to let half go. of us going this month ok another example I'm sorry but we have to let you go I'm sorry but we have to let you go again the phrasal verb let go is separated by the person affected by the action let you go in other words I'm sorry, we have to say goodbye to you sorry, we have to fire you from your job okay, so letting go uh is another expression that means letting someone go is a nicer way is a nicer way to say You're fired letting someone go move on to the second meaning of letting go go we use this quite broadly to mean relax or release something, so it can mean release stress, for example, in a sentence, uh, try to let go of your stress try to let go so try to release your stress Let it go oh God God, everyone knows this, okay, another example, let me go, let me go so we can use this if someone is holding you down for some reason, so let it go. get away from me means release me let me go or like let go of her let go of him means to let go or release her to release it this is similar to the following variation of let let out to let out we use the word let out to means to release something so that I like to release something generally, although something has been confined, something has been kept, an example of this is let me leave this room, let me leave this room, so uh, leave and leave are separated by me, so I am the person affected. here i am asking to be released from the room let me leave this room another example she let out a terrifying scream she let out a terrifying scream so maybe inside her there was this emotion of fear she felt scared so she released that emotion with a screen then she let out a terrifying scream, she was released from her body, the next variation is to let someone have it, so this means to attack someone, either physically or verbally, verbally means to attack someone with words, like having an argument . physically or verbally attacking someone in a sentence my boss left it to me this morning.

I made a big mistake this week, so in this sentence my boss let me probably means my boss yelled at me, so my boss verbally attacked me. There is little chance that someone's boss will physically attack them at work. I don't know what it's like in his company, but in our company it probably doesn't have that meaning, so in most cases, as if my mother left it to me, I totally wrecked the car, for example. It's like someone verbally attacked me, so my boss let me have it this morning. I made a mistake, so in another example sentence, did you see that fight?

The smaller guy actually let the bigger guy have it, so here I said the smaller guy really let him. the larger type has it so again in this example the person affected by the action the person receiving the attack in this case the larger type is the one that is inserted in the verb phrase, so the smaller type actually leaves let the bigger guy have it so that the The bigger guy was the one who was attacked in this case, so letting someone have it means attacking someone with words or physical force. I hope it has helped you learn a little more about the verb leave.

Thank you very much for watching this episode of know your verbs. See you soon. Hello everyone. My name is Alicia. Welcome back to knowing your verbs in this lesson. talk about the verb help the basic definition of the verb help is to help or help let's look at the conjugations of this verb in the present tense help help in the past tense helped in the past participle helped in the progressive tense helping now let's talk about some additional meanings of this verb the first meaning additional to make something more pleasant or to make something more pleasant to improve an experience in some way examples of this like ah, that massage really helped my back pain another example I think it will be helpful if you restart your computer, so in each one of these sentences We use the verb help to show that something, some situation or some behavior caused another situation to improve or become more pleasant, so in the first example a massage improved my back, so it reallyit helped my back pain, it means my back pain became more bearable, it doesn't. so bad now, in the second example sentence, the speaker thinks that maybe restarting the computer will improve the performance of the computer, we will improve the performance, so we use help in this way.

The second meaning is to avoid, to avoid something, so let's look at some examples. I'm sorry you fell I can't help but laugh uh I can't help but laugh I know right I can't help but laugh means I can't help but laugh It's just not possible I can't help but laugh It just comes out I can't help but laugh another example. I can't help but wonder what the company is going to do next, so I can't help but wonder. I can't help but wonder what the company is going to do next. The third meaning of this verb. is to serve as serving food or drink, so let's first look at some examples of this and then we will explain, please help yourself whatever you want, guests can serve themselves at the buffet, so with this meaning of help means like serving for serve, so we often use uh as guests can serve themselves so guests can help themselves we use help themselves as in help yourself get food or Help yourself get food in other words, someone else won't do it for you so please help yourself, guests can help themselves, so it means help yourself, it's usually used that way, help yourself, guests can serve themselves, the fourth meaning of this lesson is to take but without permission, so to take something without permission, let's look at the examples.

First I'll help myself to this jar of cookies, she helped herself to all the money in her mother's wallet, so here we see it as if we are helping ourselves or we are helping ourselves, I guess like in the example former. with food and drink, however, in this case it means doing those things without permission when used to refer to serving food or drink, it is as if there is permission to do it, like helping yourself, that is permission to eat and drink with this meaning of help however means that there is no permission so it is often used uh with a reflexive pronoun she helped herself he helped himself to something so this is a small

grammar

point here actually the subject of the sentence and the recipient of the effect of the action are the same person so she helped herself so helped is used reflexively here so she is the subject of the sentence the person doing the ACT section is also the recipient of the action she helped herself to the money in her mother's wallet you will also see that she also helped herself two is used before the noun phrase here she helped herself to the money in her mother's wallet or all the money in the his mother's wallet in the first example sentence I will only help myself to this jar of cookies we use two before the noun or the noun phrase that we are taking or using without foreign permission let's continue with some variations of the verb help the first is so help me or so help me God is often used so help me God we use this expression to mean believe it or not Believe it or not, usually I will do something or something is going to happen.

Some examples of this, so help me God, I'm going to get that job. So, believe it or not, I'm going to get that job, so with everything in my power, whether Believe me or not, I'm going to get that job, it's an expression of confidence, another. I'm going to open my own restaurant, so help me God, so believe it or not, this is my plan. I'm going to do this. This is my intention we started talking a little bit about the next variation when I said um, the word help can be used to mean avoid. I said I can't help but laugh.

I can't help but wonder if there is a variation of this that can't help. but I can't help the verb so we use I can't help but it also means to avoid I can't help but it means I can't help or I can't refrain from I can't stop doing something so examples of this I can't help but cry when I watch this movie no you can avoid dancing when you hear that song So it means this and in these example sentences it is not possible not to do that action it is not possible not to use the verb so I can't help crying means I can't help crying in other words we can use the pattern introduced earlier in this episode.

I can't help but cry when I watch this movie. Both are fine to use just note that the

grammar

is a little different. I can't help but cry or can I. I can't help but cry in another example sentence. He can't help but dance. He can't help but dance. So the grammar changes a little, but the basic meaning remains the same. In reality, both sentences are correct and maintain the same meaning. It's up to you to decide which one you want to use, so I hope it helps you understand the word help a little more.

Thank you very much for watching this episode of know your verbs and see you soon bye hello everyone my name is Alicia welcome back to know your verbs in this episode we are going to talk about the verb show let's start let's talk about the basic definition of show then the definition basic of show is to cause or allow something to be seen then to cause something to be seen or to let something be seen so this is the basic use of this verb, let's look at the conjugations and then the present tense show show past tense showed tense past participle shows progressive tense showing now let's talk about some additional meanings of the verb show meaning one is to reveal through one's behavior or through one's nature then one's nature means such as it is to reveal something examples of this of revealing something through behavior one's goodness shows one's good heart then their actions their kind actions show is evidence of reveals their good heart another example they proved to be pure evil were revealed through something they did to me the second additional meaning for this lesson is I like to give what is appropriate, so I like to give something, usually this is not an object.

We don't use this to mean giving someone an object, but rather giving someone something conceptual, so let's look at some examples of this program. no mercy don't show mercy then this means don't give another person any mercy then mercy is like kindness like don't give in to someone else no mercy then it means be tough be tough don't show mercy so maybe you like a fighter like on the show of fighting Show no mercy to your enemy, so show no mercy means give them no kindness, in other words, show no mercy to another, show some respect, show some respect, that is, give another person your respect, show them To someone you respect, show some respect, that means giving people respect. it's appropriate as it's appropriate, so you might hear this as if you're talking to a person a level above you, show some respect to your boss, show some respect to your grandfather, maybe it means three, it means three, a very common meaning is to teach or instruct to teach or instruct this is very common and I hear many people make mistakes when using the verb teach, but in English it is better to use show, let's look at some examples, can you show me how to do this? show me how to do this this way show actually means teach in other words can you show me how to do this? but it is more common for us to say show rather than teach another example, my coworker showed me how to use the new software so that my A coworker showed me how means my coworker taught me how to use the news software.

Finally, meaning four of this lesson is to display something like examples of artistic works. I'm showing some pieces at an art gallery this weekend, so I'm showing means uh, we're using it in the progressive tense I'm showing I plan to show some things at an art gallery this weekend. Okay, second example sentence. Have you ever shown your work? Have you ever shown your work? means Have you ever shown your work?showed your work like in a gallery somewhere, have you ever shown your work? So you shared your work together like in a professional environment. Now let's move on to some variations of the verb show. show is the first variation.

Actually, there are two meanings I want. We will talk in this lesson to show up one means to arrive get somewhere so some example sentences of show up has not shown up for work today means has not yet come to work has not shown up for work today another never shows up on time so that they are never on time the second meaning of showing up is to make someone else look bad or make someone feel embarrassed to show someone to show someone examples of this I think you showed up to the boss in that meeting, so showing up means you did make the boss look bad or maybe you embarrassed the boss, you showed the boss or you showed the boss, both are fine to use another example of this, stop trying to show me, stop trying to show me. in other words, stop trying to do better than me and make me look bad, so showing up has two meanings, the second variation is showing your cards or showing your cards to show your cards or showing your cards has two meanings one whose meaning is the same one we introduced at the beginning of this lesson, like showing someone else the cards you have in your hand if you are playing a card game, for example, if you have a two, a four, a six or whatever. shows you make someone else see your cards, however, there is another meaning of showing your cards showing your cards means revealing your plan for something, so let's look at some examples of this, he showed his cards when he left the company, so in In other words, his plan was revealed.

He revealed the plan to him when he left the company. He decided to stop working there. His plan was revealed through his actions. Another example: we should not show our cards too early, our competitors could take advantage of the opportunity, so we should do it. Don't show our cards too soon, meaning we shouldn't reveal our plan too soon because our competitors might jump in or take advantage of the opportunity, so those are some meanings of the verb show quite different from simply allowing something to be seen, there are many different ones. . uses of the verb show if you have any questions or know other meanings, show them to your classmates and show them to us in the comments section, of course, if you liked the video, make sure to like, subscribe. to our channel and visit us at englishclass101.com for other good resources.

Thank you very much for watching this episode of know your verbs and see you soon. Hello everyone, welcome back to knowing your verbs. My name is Alicia and today we are going to talk about the verb here let's start the basic definition of the verb here is to perceive with the ear or obtain information with the ears, okay, example sentences of this first part, can you hear me now? I heard you sing, let's look at the different conjugations of this verb present here here is past participle heard past heard Progressive listening now let's talk about some different meanings of this verb the first meaning is to listen carefully to something or pay attention to something examples listen to me why not No you listen to what he has to say, so in the first sentence listen to me, it's a kind of established expression that we use, listen to me means please listen to me or please listen carefully to my idea of ​​my proposal please listen carefully to what I'm I'm going to say listen to me , so it's like you're asking for someone else's attention in the second example, why don't you listen to what they have to say?

Yes, we are using our ears to listen, sure, but why not? you listen to what he has to say and it also suggests that you should pay attention to that person, so why don't you listen to what he has to say? Yeah, listen and pay attention, so listen carefully to someone so we can use here to have this nuance. The second additional meaning for today is to receive examples of communication, have you heard from him lately? I've been hearing a lot about next week's meeting, so this verb meaning here is like receiving communication, so this can mean receiving communication with your ears, but it can also mean written communication, so in the first example, Have you heard from him lately?

That can mean like with your ears, like receiving a phone call from someone, but it can also refer to receiving a letter, receiving an email, receiving some type of communication. I heard about it lately in the second example I used the progressive tense. I've been hearing a lot about next week's meeting, so the word here is used in the progressive tense. I've been listening a lot, so thatIt means maybe in recent years. days or for the last few weeks this speaker has been receiving information about next week's meeting, so maybe again it is information that he received with his ears, but it could also be written information, a written communication about next week's meeting , so listen a lot even though the verb is used here can also mean written communication the third meaning of this lesson is to consider an idea but this is used in the negative so examples of this you want to pay for dinner I don't want to hear about I asked my boss for a raise, but my boss wouldn't hear about it, so we have this expression, let's hear it, where it refers to some idea for consideration, so in the first sentence the speaker says that you want to pay for dinner, so that's the idea.

I want to pay for dinner and then I didn't find out, which means I won't consider that idea in the second example sentence. I asked my boss for a raise, but he wouldn't listen to it. In that case, he refers back. to ask my boss for a raise, so we use this in a negative way, he didn't hear about it, I won't listen to him, so this is, like I said, used in a negative way, so it means I'm not going to consider it. thing so let's go to some variations of this verb the first variation is the expression listen listen hear this is a somewhat old-fashioned expression that we use to express examples of agreements a change of policy here here free ice cream on Fridays here here so these The examples are modern examples, so it sounds a bit strange to use them here to express your agreement;

However, you may hear this in movies or perhaps literature books, although it is not used as much in everyday speech. The second variation that I want to present is to listen to a case to listen to a case this is an expression that is used in the law in legal procedures so to listen to a case means to pay attention to someone's legal discussion like to pay attention to a legal argument like this what examples of this the court will not hear our case the judge will hear the case tomorrow so both examples are legal examples the court will not hear our case so the past tense here will not hear our case so it is a legal situation this means that the court then the court refers to the judicial system so the judges depend on their country I do not know the court or a judge or lawyers or anyone involved in the judicial system would not listen to the meaning would not pay attention to our legal discussion to our disagreement the court would not listen to our case the second example sentence the judge will hear the case tomorrow means that tomorrow is the day planned for the judge a judge is the person who presides, so in a way he manages the court and is in charge of making the decisions about legal disagreements saying the judge will hear the case tomorrow means that tomorrow the judge will hear our legal disagreement, so those are some maybe new ways to use the verb here if you have any questions or comments. or if you want to try to make a sentence using the verb here, feel free to do so in the comments section, of course if you liked the video make sure to like it, subscribe to the channel if you haven't already. and visit us at englishclass101.com for more study resources.

Thank you very much for watching this episode of know your verbs and we'll see you next time. Bye, hello everyone, my name is Alicia, welcome to learn your verbs in this episode. We're going to talk about the verb see, so let's get started. The basic definition of c is to perceive with the eyes. This really means using your eyes to get information. You use your eyes to look at things and maybe understand things to gain knowledge. By looking at things, by using your eyes, by focusing your eyes on things, you can learn things or get information, gain knowledge, so this is perceiving, but the basic, the basic definition is just perceiving with your eyes, using the eyes to perceive, obtain information. to gain knowledge, okay, let's look at the conjugations of the verb see, see, see, scene, see, let's talk about some additional meanings of the verb, see first, one to form a mental image of to form a mental image of means to use your mind to create an image. so C has the meaning of creating an image in your mind, for example, I can clearly see my childhood house, it was a story and it had a big yard, what do you see when you close your eyes?

So in these example sentences we are not actually using our eyes to see something in this use of the word see, we are imagining it and in our mind we are making a picture so we are not actually using our eyes to see these elements, but maybe they are things that we saw in the past and we are mentally imagining them, we are creating a mental image of something, so when I say that I can see my house clearly, my childhood home, it means that in my mind I can form a clear image of the house in my mind in the question what do you see? means that when you close your eyes, what is the mental image that appears in your mind, then C is used to create mental images to refer to the creation of mental images.

The next thing is to examine or observe, so in this use of the verb see there is a kind of nuance. of an expectation we want to use our eyes to observe something as it changes or examine a change as it happens to examine a behavior let's see how the team is doing in today's game I can't wait to see what the neighbors will do when they realize we bought a pool in the example of let's see how the team is doing in today's game we are talking about using our eyes our real eyes maybe if we are actually watching the game if we go to the game or watch the game on television maybe we are using our eyes , however, if we don't go to the game and read the result of the game or listen to something on the radio about the game where we hear the results of the game, we can still use the verb watch C. has this nuance of examining something, so we expect some results, so let's see in this case it doesn't just mean using your eyes to examine it, it can mean examining maybe the results of an output or the results of something to examine the result of something in the second example sentence let's see how the neighbors react we see the same thing so it's the same it's the same kind of nuance we're waiting for a reaction we're going to watch for a reaction from the neighbors when they realize we bought a pool so we want to examine their reaction we want to examine a result we can use the verb see although maybe we use our ears like if a neighbor says oh my gosh they bought a pool um that's like examine you're waiting for a reaction there we can still use the verb let's see the expression let's talk about it so let's see what happens next, for example, the following to make sure, please see that this task is finished, he saw that all the arrangements had been made in these sentences the verb C is used to mean make sure or confirm something to ensure something in the first please see that this task is finished we could replace the verb see with make sure please make sure this task is finished so that's a very clear sentence please see it's just a shorthand way of saying make sure please see that this task is finished please make sure that this task is finished we can replace the verb here the second example sentence is the same he saw that all the arrangements had been made, so he made sure that all the arrangements had been made and these example sentences C is replacing the expression make sure or ensure, so we can use C to mean the same thing, it's just a shorter way of saying, make sure the following is acceptable or attractive.

What do you see in what you see in her I don't understand what you see in this restaurant it's terrible what are the qualities that you perceive in that person or the qualities that you can detect in that situation what are the good points that you have identify there we can use the word see to communicate quickly and easily, so, what do you see in him?, what do you see in her, is a much shorter way of saying what you find attractive about him or her, what do you find attractive? about him or her or what characteristics of that person attract you to that person saying what you see in him or her what you see in her is a much shorter way of saying what qualities you find attractive in that person the same in the restaurant example I don't understand what you see in this restaurant means I don't understand what you like about this restaurant I think it's bad so we shorten it to I don't understand what you see in this restaurant so c means find something attractive or interesting or attractive in some way now let's talk about some variations, so some slight changes or some additions to the verb C that change the meaning first is to see through see through see through means to understand the true nature of something to understand the real characteristics of something you saw through my attempts to work with him and he invited me on a date.

My boss saw my lie and scolded me for faking an illness, so here we see the past tense usage in the first example sentence he saw. My attempts to work with him meant that he saw the true nature of what I was doing so he saw my attempts to work with him and asked me out on a date, so in this situation maybe the person the speaker was with trying to spend time with him in this situation and was asking maybe to work together a lot, but he in the situation saw the true nature of the speaker's request, saw the true characteristics or the real desire. there and asked the speaker for a quote, so in this sentence we understand that there was a different motivation, so something beneath the surface of the initial action that was happening, so the other person in the situation understood the other motivation, the motivation beneath the surface motivation and that's why we use see through or see through to communicate that, so he saw my attempts to work with him and understood that there was something else I wanted to do in the second example sentence, my boss He saw my lie and scolded me. for feigning illness so again we see in past tense my boss saw through my lie so he saw that I was lying in other words he saw through my lie so he saw the true character of my life he saw the true nature of my statement and me scolded so my boss I understood that I lied and scolded myself for faking an illness, so I got in trouble because I was faking an illness.

Faking an illness. My boss saw through my behavior. He saw true character. He understood the true nature of my statement. The next is c face to face, face to face. Be careful, this means having a common point of view or agreeing that we disagree most of the time. I'm glad we agree on this, so maybe this one is easy to visualize, so we agree. with someone else means that you agree with them, you share a point of view with them, so you can imagine two people standing in front of each other and if they see each other face to face, maybe they match their line of sight in the same way as their views. or their opinions coincide exactly exactly, so they have the same point of view, they can see each other face to face, so their view maybe coincide, their opinions coincide, so they are face to face and we can say: I'm glad to see i2i about this meaning.

I'm happy that we agree on this or in a negative sense, we disagree most of the time, it means we disagree most of the time or we have different opinions most of the time, so I hope This video helped you improve your knowledge of the verb see a little if you have any questions or comments or if you know another way to use the verb see let us know in the comments section below the video thank you very much for watching please make sure to like it the video, subscribe to the channel and visit us at englishclass101.com to see more good things thank you for watching this episode of know your verbs and see you soon bye, see you soon we finish all the videos on this channel almost see you soon, but of course , I don't actually see you, you see me, we imagine we have, we form mental images in our minds of all of you looking into the camera, all those hundreds of thousands of you.

That's a scary thing. Look, it was fun. Do it now. Have you ever thought about how much you think about thinking? Hello everyone, my name is Alicia. Welcome to knowing your verbs in this episode, we are going to talk about the verb think, so let's get started. The basic definition of thinking is to have something in your mind that you can keep in your mind, like an idea or an image, something that you keep in your head, something in your mind, something in your brain, so to keep in your mind is to think. , think this. is the basic definition of think, so let's look at the conjugations of the verb think in the present tense think think in the past tense thought in the past participle thought thought in the progressive or continuous tense think s think think think well, let's look at some additional meanings of the verb think first is to consider or reflect or reflect on it means to consider something carefully or to spend time considering something so To reflect means to think for a long time or think a lot aboutsomething like that to consider carefully reflect on examples Can I have a day to think about this?

He is thinking. about what to do next, in these example sentences, can I have a day to think about this? Taking a day to reflect on something like before making a decision is a pretty common thing to do before a big decision, can I have a day? thinking about this means I can have a day to consider this carefully or I can have a day to reflect on this in a second example sentence you are thinking about what to do next means you are carefully considering your next step you are carefully considering what you should do next then think is used here in the progressive tense to show that you are currently considering something carefully, but to consider carefully we can shorten it and use the verb think, you are thinking about what to do next, okay, next is to create something thinking or create something considering we usually use this with the word up after the verb think that we came up with so many crazy party ideas in college that she came up with a plan for product promotion, so both example sentences mean create something considering it in your mind so in the first example sentence we think crazy party ideas in college means we design something using our brain we consider something and create an idea we create something thinking then think blah blah blah then we think of crazy party ideas like this We design crazy party ideas thinking about them, considering things in our minds.

In the second example sentence, we see the same meaning, but for a business situation, she devised a plan for product promotion, so in this case, in the past tense, she thought, devised a plan for product promotion, but when we say designed it sounds maybe like she planned something on a computer, maybe when we use, she thought, it means she used her mind, considered the ideas she had and created a plan in her mind for the promotion of the product. so to think uses the mind to create something next is to have an expectation to have an expectation to expect something I didn't think you would arrive so quickly we thought it would take a lot longer to finish dinner so in the first example sentence we didn't think you would arrive so quickly means that the speaker expected that the listener would take longer to arrive o The listener was going to arrive later than he actually did, so the speaker in this case had the expectation that the listener was going to arrive later so they used the negative we didn't think you would arrive so quickly so we didn't think we didn't expect you to arrive so quickly we can replace the verb think with wait here and that creates the same meaning, the same nuance really, but I think it sounds a little less formal than expected , so we didn't think it would arrive so quickly.

The second example sentence is that we thought it would take much longer to finish dinner again. We expected that it would take much longer to finish dinner. We can replace the verb thought in the past tense with the expected past tense. We expected it would take much longer to finish dinner. In this way, we think that we are in the past tense. Thought is used. exactly the same way as expected here, the next meaning is to consider suitability to consider suitability, let's look at some examples. I've never thought of him as a manager, we're thinking of her for a higher position, so in the first sentence I've never thought of him as a manager in this way.

I thought it means that I never understood him as suitable for the position of manager. That's a very long way to explain this sentence, but to condense everything we use the word I thought. I never thought. of him as a manager means that I have never considered him potentially suitable as a manager in the second example sentence we are considering her for a higher position means that we are considering whether or not she is suitable for a higher position at her job or in a higher position in your company, so in this way, thinking in progressive tense means that we are considering your suitability for a higher level position, so you will notice that the two example sentences included here are related to your job.

However, we will see that this meaning tends to be used a lot with jobs and perhaps political positions, so something like this is perhaps related to promotion or some sort of related hierarchy. You will often hear this in work situations, work situations abroad, let's look at some variations some other words we can add to think to create different meanings first is to think better think better means reconsider and make a better decision or make a better decision means to consider something again and change your decision hopefully make a better decision examples I wanted to say something but I thought better of it and kept my mouth shut we will think better of you if you tell the truth so in both sentences there is a reconsideration: someone is considering something again and is taking an improved decision because of that reconsideration, so in the first example sentence I wanted to say something we see in the past tense.

I wanted to say something but thought better of it, so in this case it's what I wanted to say in the first part. from the phrase I thought better of it means that I reconsidered and decided against my first inclination I decided not to do the first thing I was thinking and I kept my mouth closed so in this case my mouth stayed closed in other words I reconsidered my initial action the action that initially I wanted to do in the second sentence we will think better of you if you tell the truth we see that it is used for the future we will think better of you if you tell the truth that is, if you tell the truth our opinion of you will improve, we will think better of you, so Tell the truth and we will consider you again essentially and our opinion of you will improve if you do this.

The next variation is to think a lot about think a lot about this means to have a see positively or approve examples he doesn't think much about his teacher we don't think much about dinner last night we see in the first example sentence um he didn't think much about his teacher It means that you really didn't approve of your teacher or you didn't have a very positive view of your teacher, so a shorter way to explain that feeling is that you didn't think much of your teacher. In the second example sentence, we didn't think much of the last night's dinner this means again that we don't really approve of last night's dinner or that we don't have a very positive view or a very positive opinion of last night's dinner.

These are quite long, so we can condense them as well. We didn't think much about dinner last night. dinner of the night so I hope this video has helped you improve your knowledge of how to use the verb think.

Oh I think your thought about my thought is the thinking thought what is my name Alicia just from this episode first is I'm thinking about summer know your verbs look at your verbs look at your verbs hello everyone my name is Alicia welcome back to know your verbs In this episode we are going to talk about the verb to look so let's go to the basic definition of the verb to look is to use your eyes to use your vision abilities uh to yeah use your eyes to look to turn your eyes towards something to use your vision is to look uh the difference between the verb see if you saw episode C of know your verbs c means to perceive something with your eyes to look means to focus your eyes on something to direct your attention towards something while C is like assimilate something perceive get information with his eyes Luke is simply focusing his attention on something something conjugations let's look at the conjugations of this verb in the present tense look or looks in the past tense looked in the past participle looked in the progressive or continuous tense looking so let's check Discover some of the additional meanings of the verb look first appearing according to here are some examples.

She's had a tough year, yes, she seems to burn out. Second example, he is 60 years old, he doesn't look good, so in these example sentences, look refers to. match some other information about a person or about a condition about a situation, so in this case, in the first example sentence, we hear that you've had a difficult year and then the answer is yes, it seems like it, so it means that, in other words, here means like you've had a tough year, you see, which means it appears in accordance with the fact that you've had a tough year, but that's a very long thing to say, instead We say yes, it looks like it, its appearance suggests what you just said. she had a difficult year, yes, it looks where it equals a difficult year and the appearance shows that it matches, so his appearance matches this difficult year.

In fact, we have learned about her, the second sentence is similar, someone says he is 60, which means he is 60 years old, but we hear the negative answer, he doesn't look like it, which means he doesn't look like a 60-year-old man, That is, in other words, he probably looks much younger than 60 years old. He doesn't look like it, it could be that he looks much older than 60 years old. if someone looks old if someone looks like a very, very old person and you say, oh my gosh, he's 60, he doesn't look that way, that's also possible, that's possible, I guess you just have to measure by intonation, uh so we can. use an expression like that to mean that someone is significantly younger or older the next meaning is seem to seem here are some examples this seems quite difficult it seems like it's going to be easier than I thought in these example sentences we can replace the verb look with seam and the meaning remains the same so this looks quite hard has the same meaning as this looks quite hard so seem and look have the same meaningin these examples in the second example sentence we saw that this looks like it is going to be easier than I thought, we can replace look with seam and the meaning remains the same, this looks like it's going to be easier than I thought, so we can both simply replace the verb and we have the same meaning in these cases, so look means to seem why would you use look instead of seam what's the difference here for me personally?

I think seam sounds a little more formal than look. I wouldn't use couture in most cases I would say appearance in most cases when I mean couture if I want to sound a little more formal or a little more polite I would probably use scene this seems to be the problem what seems to be the problem instead What it seems like I like the problem look what it seems like this is your problem it seems like it doesn't sound so formal well the next thing is to have in mind as a goal to have in mind as a goal here are some examples of what we are looking for to buy a car new by the end of the month is looking to complete his job transfer by next month, so both sentences define a goal and explain a goal.

We are also using the progressive way of looking which means we are in the progress of working towards a goal or in the progress of completing a goal in the first example sentence we are looking to buy a new car by the end of the month it means our goal is to buy a new car by the end of the month and we are currently trying to do that, but this is a pretty long expression, so instead we use look, we are looking to buy a new car. I guess we could replace this with the verb pointing to, we're aiming to buy a new car pointing, but pointing sounds quite formal and looking. it's a little more informal so we're looking to buy a new car in the second sentence he's looking to complete his job transfer by next month we see the same thing his goal is to complete his job transfer and his goal is to do it by next month, so you are currently working towards your goal, you are looking to complete something.

We use it in progressive tense to show that you are currently trying to achieve this goal to achieve this result. The next meaning is to express with your eyes or with your face so you are actually creating an appearance with your eyes or your face an expression in other words here are some examples she looked surprised they look quite angry here both examples talk about an expression a facial expression or some appearance that is created with the face or with the eyes, so in the first example we see, she seemed surprised in the past tense, this indicates that with her face something in her face or her eyes showed surprise, she created a surprised face with his facial expression in other words. so she seemed surprised in the second example they look quite angry in the present tense they look quite angry means their facial expression looks angry they are something they are doing with their face or their eyes create an angry look look is a noun here so they look quite angry is his expression looks angry, let's move on to some variations of this, how can we combine other words with lookto create new meaning? first is to look inside look this means to investigate here are some examples we need to look at these accusations you investigated the requirements for your license they both mean to examine or investigate something so in the first example sentence we need to investigate these accusations it means we need to investigate these accusations, maybe we need to investigate, we need to look for more information. about something, so investigate contains all that find more information about something, but investigate is much shorter and easier to say look at something sounds more casual, you could replace this with the verb investigate, instead we need to investigate these accusations. from looking at these accusations investigate sounds more formal than looking in the second sentence have you looked into the requirements for your license?

We see the same. Have you researched the requirements for your license? but researched sounds quite polite, quite formal, so instead we use have. Did you look at the past tense, have you looked at the requirements? The past tense shows investigation, but it doesn't sound as formal as investigating, the next variation is to look away, to look away, this means to divert your attention from something unpleasant, here are some examples: You can't just look away while Your boss mistreats the employees of your company. We shouldn't look away when our fellow humans are in trouble, so these example sentences show the use of look away, which means to look away. of something unpleasant in the first example about a boss mistreating employees in a company, it means that we cannot simply divert our attention from mistreating employees in the company or we should not do that, it is a bad idea, we should not direct our attention. draw our attention away from this unpleasant situation if there is a bad situation there we should not ignore that situation in other words we should not look away we should not divert our attention from this bad situation and in the second example sentence we should not look the other way , when our fellow humans are in trouble, it's a more general statement, but if other humans, fellow humans, other people are in trouble, we shouldn't ignore it, we shouldn't ignore it, we shouldn't direct our attention in another way, okay, like that I hope this video helped you improve your understanding of the verb look.

Thank you very much for watching and we'll see you next time. Goodbye, so many verbs. Luke, yeah, look. in that look in that look in that look extremely correct yes excellent work french we are fine examine I looked away I went I didn't realize how much I used the verb look oh my God oh my God look don't ask what Hello everyone, welcome back to know their verbs.

My name is Alicia and in this episode we are going to talk about the verb ask, so let's get started. The basic definition of the verb ask is to make a request. to make a request, here are the conjugations in the present tense, ask, in the past, in the past, in the past participle, in continuous or progressive, let's talk about some additional meanings of this verb first is require, here are some examples, you are asking us too much, they asked for a lot of it this year, so in these example sentences the verb ask means to demand to demand something from another person in the first sentence you are asking too much of us means you are demanding too much of us or you are demanding too much of something that we can do , ask too much shortens this expression, so it is not only require, but also require the capabilities or require something that a person, machine or object can do, requires yes, but also requires more capabilities in the second sentence.

We see this too, so the second sentence was that they asked a lot of him this year, so they required a lot of him. We can't replace "require by request" here, but we can see the nuance here that they required many of their capabilities. or they required a lot of work from him this year, so he asked instead condenses everything that requires him to require his work or his service or something like that, so we condense all that into one word, ask here, the next meaning is to establish as a price here are some examples the seller asks for ten thousand dollars for the boat she asked for one hundred dollars for her old laptop very well in these two example sentences ask show the price of an item the price a seller chooses for an item or the price that the seller expects to receive for an item is the price that the seller has set for something in the first example we see asking in progressive or continuous tense the seller is asking for ten thousand dollars, which means that the seller currently expects to receive ten thousand dollars for the boat so, if it's useful, you can imagine the seller asking the buyer for this amount here, the seller asking the buyer for this amount for this amount, so the seller is asking ten thousand dollars for the boat, um, but we remove the preposition to ask for ten. thousand dollars for the boat is essentially asking the seller for ten thousand dollars, so asking the seller is like a long way of saying this expression, we can shorten it to asking the buyer is asking for ten thousand dollars in the second example sentence, we see that she asked for a hundred dollars for her old laptop, so in this example sentence we see the preposition for she asked for a hundred dollars for her old laptop.

We can include proposition 4, but it is okay to omit it in these cases where it is clear. that the meaning is the price of an item, so she asked, is in the past tense, so a situation in the past tense wanted to receive one hundred dollars for her old laptop, which means she asked or requested that the buyer pay one hundred dollars for his old laptop, he requested it. the buyer's payment is abbreviated as requested in this case, so we can use it with or without the preposition four. The next meaning is to ask for a response.

Here are some examples. She asked her boss about the upcoming changes. She asks her neighbors for help. every year, so asking in these cases is not a request in this case, but we are looking for information, we are looking for an answer, we have a question about something or we need some information, so we ask you for information. Suppose you can think of it as making a request for information that way, but we're looking for some kind of response. We go to someone to obtain information and get an answer to a question. In the first example, she asked her boss about upcoming changes. the information she wants is about these changes, maybe in her company, so question means she is looking for an answer she asked her boss for information she is looking for an answer about something in the second sentence she asks her neighbors for help every year it means that you are looking for answers to some things that you need an answer for you are looking for help you are looking for assistance answers for some problem that Plum has so you ask about information you are looking for information to get an answer to something like a problem or an issue that you need to solve we can use ask Below is invite invite here are some examples.

I asked some friends to come over this weekend. Why don't you ask your coworkers to go out for a drink? So in the first example sentence we can replace asked in the past tense with invited in the past tense and the meaning remains the same. I invited some friends to come over this weekend. We can use invite, of course, if we want, but invite sounds a little more formal than asking rather than using the more formal invitation that we can use. The more informal question, like I'm asking some people to come over this weekend, sounds a little less formal than inviting in the second example sentence, the same is true, why don't you ask your coworkers to go out have a drink?

We can replace the question. here with invite, why don't you invite your coworkers out for a drink again? invite sounds a little more formal than ask, so ask sounds a little more informal, so it sounds maybe a little more natural and a little more friendly than the word invite, okay, now let's look at some other words we can add to ask to have different meanings, first is to ask for it, to ask for it, this means to behave in a way that invites punishment or retribution, so retribution means like um, it can refer to punishment or it can refer to that it can also refer to a reward, but in this case it's more of a negative reaction a negative reaction let's look at some examples the drunk guy at the bar yells at everyone, he's really asking for it your boyfriend broke up with you Well, in a way you asked for it, you never spent time on it, So in these example sentences we see some behaviors that perhaps invite punishment or that invite a negative outcome.

In the first example, a drunk person in a bar yells at everyone, so the speaker says that he is really asking for it, which means that the drunk is inviting punishment, he is inviting a negative outcome because of his behavior, is really asking for it, we see this used in the progressive form, is asking for it, meaning that his current behavior is the The behavior he is displaying now invites punishment or invites a negative outcome in the second sentence where the speaker You're probably having a conversation with someone who says you broke up with your boyfriend, well you kind of asked for it in the past tense because you didn't. make time for him, you didn't make time for him shows that maybe in the past the listener didn't behave in a way that invited a positive outcome, meaning you asked your boyfriend to break up with you or you invited this negative outcome because of your actions you didn't spend time with your boyfriend that's why he broke up with you so you didn't have the right behavior you invited a negative outcome because of your actions okay next is asking for trouble asking for trouble this means behaving in a way that will probably end in problems, this is very similar to asking for it, but instead of simply receiving a punishment, it could simply be a worrying situation that results.

Let's look at some examples where a kid is running around kicking his classmates and is just begging. problems when trying to enter the country without a passport is just asking for trouble, so in both sentences we see that asking for trouble is used in the progressive tense, so some action when taking some action is likely to result in a worrying situation in the future, Maybe it's not necessarily a punishment, but it will cause problems. In the first example, a child running around and kicking his classmates is bad behavior and will cause problems. In this case, it's probably going to be a punishment, but saying he's really asking for it might suggest something a little too violent, like saying he's really asking for it sounds too much for a young child, so maybe asking for trouble suggests that is causing a worrying situation, the child might not receive severe and strong punishment as a result of his actions, but could end up in trouble because of his behavior.

In the second example, trying to enter the country without a passport is just asking for trouble, it does not necessarily mean that there will be a punishment for trying to enter the country, although problems or punishment are likely to occur. It is more general to say just asking for trouble, so this action is trying to enter the country without a passport. Just asking for trouble is also inviting a worrying situation to occur.

I do not think it works. Curious fact. I took that example sentence. I don't think it works from a video game called Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis. I do not think it works. The next is to control or make it work to cause it to work, then make it work. It means fulfilling your duties to work as in the first, the original basic meaning of this word, so let's look at some examples, the management worked too hard for the team last year, today we are working with the computer remotely abroad , the first variation is work on work. in working in media to try to affect or try to influence to try to persuade someone some examples of this politicians often work with voters' fears, so working with someone's fears is like they are affecting what they are trying of persuading people by focusing on their fears in this example sentence, the film works on the sympathy of the viewers, so here the work works with the film works means that the film is affecting the sympathy of the viewer and then, as As a result, an influence occurs, so a change in emotion occurs. this way of working in the second variation is to exercise, so working Outside means to exercise, to exercise can mean lifting weights, jogging, doing Sports, any exercise, it just means exercise, examples of this, uh, I never exercise, she has been doing three exercises. days a week for the last year, the third variation of this lesson is to work, work, so work means to progress gradually, but with difficult examples of this, he worked his way up to asking the girl on a date where she opened up path to becoming.

CEO of a company, so working on something is like progressing slowly and with difficulty, so we can divide this phrasal verb as she worked her way up or he worked hard to ask the girl on a date, so we, the Parents, we work with the preposition above.
