Key Grammar Structures

• So the clips that we've chosen for you today are really great for learning English to describe food and for use in formal situations.

  ➔ Relative clause introduced by 'that' modifying 'clips', with present perfect tense 'we've chosen' to indicate completed action affecting the present.

  ➔ The relative clause "that we've chosen" provides additional information about the "clips," and "we've chosen" uses the present perfect to link past selection to current relevance.

• so that you can understand fast speaking natives.

  ➔ Purpose clause introduced by 'so that' followed by a modal can and base form of verb.

  ➔ "So that" introduces purpose, and "you can understand" indicates ability in the purpose clause to comprehend fast speech.

• Without getting lost, without missing the jokes and without subtitles!

  ➔ Parallel infinitive phrases with 'without', used as adverbials to denote absence or negation.

  ➔ The parallel structure "without getting lost", "without missing the jokes", and "without subtitles" emphasizes multiple absences for an immersive experience.

• Just like our friend gills who says that watching our videos every single day is helping him to improve his accent in English.

  ➔ Simile with 'just like', relative clause 'who says that', present continuous 'is helping', and infinitive 'to improve'.

  ➔ "Just like" compares to a friend, the relative clause "who says that" indicates the friend's statement, "is helping" shows ongoing benefit, and "to improve" is purpose infinitive.

• Now learning native expressions like this is crucial to being able to understand fast English.

  ➔ Gerund 'learning' as subject, adjective 'crucial' followed by infinitive 'to being able' for complex purpose expression.

  ➔ "Learning" is a gerund functioning as the subject, linked to "crucial" for importance, followed by "to being able" indicating intermediate step to understanding fast English.

• Along with having correct pronunciation and knowing about connected speech which is how natives cut and connect our words

  ➔ Parallel gerunds 'having' and 'knowing', relative clause 'which is' explaining 'connected speech'.

  ➔ "Along with" introduces addition, gerunds "having" and "knowing" list skills, and "which is" defines "connected speech" as word-linking technique.

• so that you can understand natives at any speed.

  ➔ Purpose clause with 'so that' and modal 'can' for ability, emphasizing comprehension despite varying speech rates.

  ➔ "So that" signals purpose for learning, and "you can understand" indicates the resulting ability "at any speed," showing flexibility in comprehension.

• Hey if you're enjoying this lesson with Ratatouille then I know you're going to love this other one we made with another one of my disney favorites UP

  ➔ First conditional structure with 'if...then' (implied), future with 'going to', relative clause modifying 'one we made'.

  ➔ "If you're enjoying" implies condition, "then I know" links to certainty, "you're going to love" predicts future preference, "one we made" uses relative for description.

• so you can watch that by clicking up here or down the description below after you finish this lesson.

  ➔ Imperative 'watch', adverbial phrase 'by clicking', and 'after' clause for future sequence.

  ➔ The imperative "watch that" gives advice, modifier "by clicking" explains method, "after you finish" sequences events with present for future.

• it's absolutely free so you have nothing to lose

  ➔ Emphasis with 'absolutely' + adjective 'free', causal 'so' linking to adverbial 'have nothing to lose'.

  ➔ "It's absolutely free" intensifies the adjective for no cost, "so" indicates consequence leading to "you have nothing to lose", promoting risk-free action.
