chat fan Ali says how can I learn idioms 28:59
easily how can I learn IDs easily first 29:14
question is why do you want 29:17
to and the next question is what do you 29:19
mean by 29:22
idioms uh do you mean like 29:24
the elephant in the 29:28
room the elephant in the room is a good 29:32
one but I think the elephant in the room 29:35
is easy to learn cuz it's so 29:37
memorable you know the elephant in the 29:40
room it's the obvious thing that no one 29:42
wants to talk 29:47
about the big elephant in the 29:51
room the obvious thing that no one want 29:55
wants to talk 29:57
about I would say that if you find it 30:00
hard this is my 30:04
advice if you find it hard to remember 30:06
or learn a specific 30:10
idiom don't bother learning it there you 30:13
go that's my advice if you find it hard 30:17
to remember or learn a specific idiom 30:21
don't bother learning it idioms are not 30:23
very useful 30:26
probably the best thing about idioms is 30:28
they are very memorable so they're easy 30:31
to learn but if you find it hard to 30:35
learn an idiom don't learn it no 30:38
point uh Ernest said would you explain 30:43
why we use the indefinite article before 30:45
the word 30:47
ache what we 30:52
don't ah we don't use a before ache a 30:56
ache that's not right it's an ache you 31:00
might say a headache or a stomach 31:03
ache but with a with just ache it would 31:06
be an an 31:10
ache like I have an ache in my 31:12
leg well probably to be honest we' say a 31:17
bit of a bit of an ache look it's an 31:20
ache I have a bit of an ache in my leg 31:24
so yeah we don't use our before 31:29
egg uh blah blah blah blah blah how PR 31:33
hiss thank you for explaining it is it 31:36
necessary to learn business English 31:38
especially 31:40
no it's 31:43
not you don't need to especially learn 31:45
business 31:47
English I would say learn English in 31:49
contexts which you find interesting the 31:53
question is uh do you especially need to 31:56
learn business English and uh the Prof 32:01
Prof Rich 32:05
answer is um learn English in context 32:07
which you find 32:13
interesting 32:17
and 32:19
familiar so if for example you're 32:21
interested in business then yeah learn 32:23
business in in English if you're 32:26
interested in video games learn video 32:28
game English if you are if you find 32:30
Science interesting then learn science 32:33
English uh the important thing is to 32:36
learn in a context which you find 32:38
interesting and familiar let's make the 32:40
learning as engaging as 32:43
possible pavi says how can I learn 32:48
spoken English um 32:50
speak sorry pavi but that's it 32:53
how to use absolute phrases in writing 32:58
what do you mean absolute phrases can 33:01
you say that again yush what do you mean 33:03
absolute phrases yogish what do you mean 33:05
absolute 33:07
phrases okay moving 33:09
on Ernest says for example I have a 33:14
headache well I have a headache is 33:18
incorrect cuz you can't use a 33:20
contraction with the main verb I 33:23
have 33:25
so that's not right okay it's I have a 33:28
headache for 33:34
one why do we use a well because it's a 33:37
headache right what if we say I've 33:42
had uh four headaches in the last week 33:47
it's 33:52
accountable it's accountable noun that's 33:55
why we use the indefinite 33:59
article it's okay isn't it is using does 34:05
using does using idioms make you more 34:09
native yeah it does 34:12
but 34:16
but there are more important 34:18
things how to prefer for exams 34:22
teacher do do loads of practice 34:25
exams yush says how to use absolute F 34:37
phrases for example she was in her room 34:40
tears rolling down her 34:42
cheeks 34:53
oh 34:55
ah you mean nominative 34:58
absolutes made up of a noun or pronoun 35:02
with a participle 35:05
phrase 35:10
yes good 35:13
one 35:25
okay let's have a look at some in the 35:39
context of medical vocabulary these 35:41
absolute 35:46
phrases maybe that will help you since 35:53
that was our topic for 35:56
today 36:15
okay okay so we got a few here her hand 36:20
steady the surgeon began the delicate 36:22
operation 36:25
the patient recovering quickly the 36:30
doctors felt 36:32
relieved with the lab results clear the 36:35
diagnosis was 36:37
confirmed and the medicine working 36:40
effectively his symptoms began to 36:42
disappear to me that doesn't seem 36:47
particularly complicated I I wonder I 36:50
wonder what you find Difficult about 36:53
that 36:56
I feel like it 36:58
doesn't just disappear one second 36:59
doesn't look massively difficult to me 37:02
to use 37:05
those I 37:08
mean it's just a prepositional clause or 37:11
a 37:15
noun it's a noun and a gerund or it's a 37:16
prepositional Clause with a verb at the 37:20
start of the sentence and it has sort of 37:23
a cleft style word 37:27
order so instead of his symptoms began 37:31
to disappear because the medicine was 37:34
working effectively then we flip it and 37:37
say the medicine working effectively his 37:40
symptoms began to 37:43
disappear I don't I don't feel like 37:46
there's a lot of complication 37:48
here teacher how did you cut that 37:53
sentence what do you mean how do I cut 37:55
how do I cut what sentence what do you 37:57
mean 37:59
pavi um the nnest sorry I wasn't clear 38:05
before 38:10
so you can only so 38:12
contractions are normally used with 38:16
auxiliary verbs right so like I don't 38:21
have a pen I don't there's the 38:26
contraction right or I've been to France 38:29
right and there's the 38:34
contraction and you can see that do and 38:36
have here are auxiliary verbs but if 38:40
we're using have as a main verb like I 38:44
have a pen or I don't have a pen you 38:46
can't contract have because it's a main 38:50
verb you get it 38:55
now that isn't always the case because 39:00
obviously we have our wonderful spoken 39:03
contractions like gonna and wner and 39:05
with gonner and wner we are Contracting 39:08
with main verbs but with traditional 39:11
contractions you can't contract with au 39:15
with main verbs only with 39:18
auxiliaries is it right to say I have a 39:22
high temperature instead of saying I 39:24
have a fever yeah that's 39:26
great even just I have a 39:36
temperature any of those it's 39:44
fine absolute phrases seem grammatically 39:50
incorrect no they're not 39:53
they're correct the grammar is absolute 39:57
phrases why do you think they're 40:05
grammatically 40:06
incorrect because they don't have 40:08
subject verb object word order well 40:10
there's load there's loads of sentences 40:13
that have 40:15
that I mean we could go over 40:17
loads had I the chance I'd go to France 40:20
does that seem grammatic Ally correct 40:25
what about uh never would I trust such a 40:27
crazy guy does that seem gically 40:33
correct how about you go over 40:36
there now that okay or just go over 40:40
there 40:46
you go over there 40:48
child what about 40:52
that 40:55
how 40:57
about okay enough 41:07
enough so we think of a a a passive in 41:11
the future really 41:14
complex no wait 41:23
many diseases will have been being cured 41:44
by scientists in the 41:46
future that sounds a bit weird but okay 41:48
let me let me something else 41:52
there 41:55
um electric cars will have been being 42:20
driven around for decades by the year 42:23
2040 there you go 42:25
enjoy uh if I were a billionaire I 42:31
wouldn't have to struggle like this 42:33

of billionaire is 42:36
wrong hey fever allergic ventis or high 42:40

language learning
benefits link in the
chat fan Ali says how can I learn idioms
easily how can I learn IDs easily first
question is why do you want
to and the next question is what do you
mean by
idioms uh do you mean like
the elephant in the
room the elephant in the room is a good
one but I think the elephant in the room
is easy to learn cuz it's so
memorable you know the elephant in the
room it's the obvious thing that no one
wants to talk
about the big elephant in the
room the obvious thing that no one want
wants to talk
about I would say that if you find it
hard this is my
advice if you find it hard to remember
or learn a specific
idiom don't bother learning it there you
go that's my advice if you find it hard
to remember or learn a specific idiom
don't bother learning it idioms are not
very useful
probably the best thing about idioms is
they are very memorable so they're easy
to learn but if you find it hard to
learn an idiom don't learn it no
point uh Ernest said would you explain
why we use the indefinite article before
the word
ache what we
don't ah we don't use a before ache a
ache that's not right it's an ache you
might say a headache or a stomach
ache but with a with just ache it would
be an an
ache like I have an ache in my
leg well probably to be honest we' say a
bit of a bit of an ache look it's an
ache I have a bit of an ache in my leg
so yeah we don't use our before
egg uh blah blah blah blah blah how PR
hiss thank you for explaining it is it
necessary to learn business English
especially
no it's
not you don't need to especially learn
business
English I would say learn English in
contexts which you find interesting the
question is uh do you especially need to
learn business English and uh the Prof
Prof Rich
answer is um learn English in context
which you find
interesting
and
familiar so if for example you're
interested in business then yeah learn
business in in English if you're
interested in video games learn video
game English if you are if you find
Science interesting then learn science
English uh the important thing is to
learn in a context which you find
interesting and familiar let's make the
learning as engaging as
possible pavi says how can I learn
spoken English um
speak sorry pavi but that's it
how to use absolute phrases in writing
what do you mean absolute phrases can
you say that again yush what do you mean
absolute phrases yogish what do you mean
absolute
phrases okay moving
on Ernest says for example I have a
headache well I have a headache is
incorrect cuz you can't use a
contraction with the main verb I
have
so that's not right okay it's I have a
headache for
one why do we use a well because it's a
headache right what if we say I've
had uh four headaches in the last week
it's
accountable it's accountable noun that's
why we use the indefinite
article it's okay isn't it is using does
using does using idioms make you more
native yeah it does
but
but there are more important
things how to prefer for exams
teacher do do loads of practice
exams yush says how to use absolute F
phrases for example she was in her room
tears rolling down her
cheeks
oh
ah you mean nominative
absolutes made up of a noun or pronoun
with a participle
phrase
yes good
one
okay let's have a look at some in the
context of medical vocabulary these
absolute
phrases maybe that will help you since
that was our topic for
today
okay okay so we got a few here her hand
steady the surgeon began the delicate
operation
the patient recovering quickly the
doctors felt
relieved with the lab results clear the
diagnosis was
confirmed and the medicine working
effectively his symptoms began to
disappear to me that doesn't seem
particularly complicated I I wonder I
wonder what you find Difficult about
that
I feel like it
doesn't just disappear one second
doesn't look massively difficult to me
to use
those I
mean it's just a prepositional clause or
a
noun it's a noun and a gerund or it's a
prepositional Clause with a verb at the
start of the sentence and it has sort of
a cleft style word
order so instead of his symptoms began
to disappear because the medicine was
working effectively then we flip it and
say the medicine working effectively his
symptoms began to
disappear I don't I don't feel like
there's a lot of complication
here teacher how did you cut that
sentence what do you mean how do I cut
how do I cut what sentence what do you
mean
pavi um the nnest sorry I wasn't clear
before
so you can only so
contractions are normally used with
auxiliary verbs right so like I don't
have a pen I don't there's the
contraction right or I've been to France
right and there's the
contraction and you can see that do and
have here are auxiliary verbs but if
we're using have as a main verb like I
have a pen or I don't have a pen you
can't contract have because it's a main
verb you get it
now that isn't always the case because
obviously we have our wonderful spoken
contractions like gonna and wner and
with gonner and wner we are Contracting
with main verbs but with traditional
contractions you can't contract with au
with main verbs only with
auxiliaries is it right to say I have a
high temperature instead of saying I
have a fever yeah that's
great even just I have a
temperature any of those it's
fine absolute phrases seem grammatically
incorrect no they're not
they're correct the grammar is absolute
phrases why do you think they're
grammatically
incorrect because they don't have
subject verb object word order well
there's load there's loads of sentences
that have
that I mean we could go over
loads had I the chance I'd go to France
does that seem grammatic Ally correct
what about uh never would I trust such a
crazy guy does that seem gically
correct how about you go over
there now that okay or just go over
there
you go over there
child what about
that
how
about okay enough
enough so we think of a a a passive in
the future really
complex no wait
many diseases will have been being cured
by scientists in the
future that sounds a bit weird but okay
let me let me something else
there
um electric cars will have been being
driven around for decades by the year
2040 there you go
enjoy uh if I were a billionaire I
wouldn't have to struggle like this
that's correct farman but your spelling
of billionaire is
wrong hey fever allergic ventis or high
temperature I'm
sorry um hay fever is like allergic yeah
it's an allergic
reaction how can we say to give
injections in other words uh
administer or a vaccine or
whatever
administer what else uh give you a shot

shot colloquially a
jab

singing Eminem all right do you British
people read the same grammar books as we
non-native speakers read
no I mean I I I read some grammar books
because I'm an English teacher but
normally British people

grammar book for
teachers is grammar for English language
teachers by Martin
parrot it's expensive
though that
one that's a great
book difficult expensive but good
interation hard to learn correct
interation is very hard to learn one way
to try to learn intonation is to
go so if I say do you want a cup of
tea another one is la la la do you want
a cup of tea la la la la la la he meant

about this on my channel Professor reach
youtube.com/ Professor
reach uh Sani says is it true Banger

only listening to em and M and other
rappers doesn't help us neither improve
our English nor strengthen unfortunately

About Dre with Eminem that will help
your English

if you're interested but actually you
can you can learn the language without
grammar you can learn the language
phrasy so just need to learn vocabulary
and phrases and to be honest leafy
looking at your English it's quite good
so I think you're fine to just continue
