English Grammar And Speaking Patterns

1. Welcome to the Course: I'm going to tell you something, and you might not believe me, but that's okay. What I want to tell you is English is easy. If you know the rules and patterns of English. Hi, guys. My name is Shane. I'm an English teacher, and I've been teaching English for almost ten years. In this course, you are going to learn more than 30 rules and patterns that will help you to make correct sentences in English, so you don't have to guess which words to use. How do you feel if you always knew which word to use? Pretty good, right? For example, you will learn that if you use the word did and you need a verb, you need to use verb one. That's it. Pretty simple, right? Now, for each pattern, you will go through four stages. First, you will learn the pattern. Then you will train your brain to remember the pattern. After that, you will master the pattern. And finally, you will practice your listening skills to see if you know which sentences are correct and incorrect. After you have learned all of the rules and patterns, I'll show you common mistakes that most students make, so you don't make those mistakes. If you don't know the patterns in this course, you will never be able to speak or write English correctly. So it's pretty simple. Learn the patterns in this course and start speaking English correctly today and stop guessing which words you need to use. If you don't learn these patterns today, when will you start? 2. Patterns, How to Use Them and Exceptions: In this course, you are going to learn more than 30 rules and patterns. Now, a pattern is a way of doing something. For example, one pattern you will learn in this course is four plus verb ING. If you use the word four, it doesn't mean you must use a verb ING after four every time. No, that's not what I'm saying. The rule means if if you use four and you need a verb, then you need to use the verb IN G. However, you might be able to use other words after four. For example, I got it for him. This is totally correct. If you say I got it for him. Now, it's also correct if you say chairs are used for sitting. You see we have followed the pattern four plus verb ING. However, if you say chairs are used for sit, this is incorrect because you are not following the pattern. Now, another thing I want to tell you is that all rules have exceptions. This means the patterns and the rules, I'm going to teach you in this course, sometimes are not correct 100% of the time. However, the rules and patterns that I teach you in this course are correct most of the time. In the course, if there is an exception to one of the rules, I will tell you and I will give examples of that exception and when and how to use it. So just remember, guys, if you use the first word of a rule, it doesn't mean you must use the second part of the rule. Okay? Also, remember, there are always exceptions to rules in English. But the rules in this course are correct most of the time, sometimes 99% of the time or even 100% of the time. That's all I have to tell you for now, please start the course when you're ready. I really hope you enjoy the course, and I know the course will be very, very useful because you will learn the basic patterns of English, the basic rules of English, and you will learn to use them automatically without thinking, so you'll be able to make correct sentences when you're speaking and writing English. 3. To (Learning Stage): Alright, guys, let's look at the first pattern. This is one of the most important patterns in English, and it's a pattern that you'll see all the time. I hope you're excited. I'm excited, too, so let's get into it. Have a look at this sentence, guys. Can we go there to eat? Have a quick look and tell me what you think the pattern is. Look at this to eat. What's the pattern here? What do we have after two? Correct. We have verb one. This is the first pattern guys, two plus verb one. Whenever we use two and we need a verb, 90% of the time, 95% of the time, maybe even more, we use verb one. Now, what is verb one? Well, verb one is the base form or the normal form of a verb. For example, eat, drink, run, play, sit. Verb one can also be called the present tense verb and it doesn't have anything at the end or at the beginning of the verb. So it's not eating, it's not eaten. It's not eight. It's just the verb. Eat. So let's have a look at some other examples. What's the next thing we need to do? Same again, guys, after two verb one. He went to help his son with his homework. Same again, two plus verb one. Next one, I visited the city to meet my friends. To meet. Met is verb one. And last one, Thailand is an affordable destination with many places to explore. Same again, two plus verb one. So, guys, this is one of the most important structures in English. When you use two and you need a verb, afterwards, we normally use verb one. That's it. You don't have to think about it. Use verb one. If you have two and you need a verb, use verb one. Now, with the pronunciation, guys, when we say to eat very quickly, it becomes T to eat. So listen again and repeat after me. Can we go there to eat? What's the next thing we need to do? He went to help his son with his homework. I visited the city to meet my friends. Thailand is an affordable destination with many places to explore. Now, guys, there are some exceptions to this rule. However, you don't see them very often, but I want you to know. So the first one is to confess to doing something. To confess means you say that you did that thing. So look here, guys, he confessed to committing the crime. So we've got two, but we don't have verb one here. We say committing. So you could say he confessed to committing. He confessed to doing. He confessed to running. Guys, when we have confess, we use two plus verb ING. Next one, oppose or to be opposed to doing something. If you oppose something, it means you say no, you don't want to do that thing, and same with to be opposed. If you are opposed to doing something, it means you don't want to do that thing, or you think that that thing is not right or that thing is wrong. When we use this structure, we have to use two plus verb ING again. So on example, they are opposed to starting the new project. We don't say they are opposed to start the new project. No, that's incorrect. When we have the word opposed and two, we need verb ING. Next one, to be dedicated to doing something. If you are dedicated to doing something, it means that thing is very, very important to you and you spend a lot of time on that thing. So an example, he is dedicated to doing his craft. Again, guys, two plus verb ING to doing. We don't say he is dedicated to do his craft. No, that's incorrect. Okay, two more exceptions. To be used to doing something. If you are used to doing something, that means you have done that thing many times and it's normal for you. So an example, when I lived there, I was used to getting stuck in traffic. So again, guys, we normally say used to plus verb ING. I was used to getting stuck in traffic. I was used to eating that food. I was used to going by train. And last exception to look forward to doing something. If you look forward, that means you think about the future and you're very excited about the future. I look forward to seeing you and your sister on the weekend. So same again. If you say I look forward to, you need to have a verb ING. I look forward to seeing you. I look forward to eating that food. I look forward to going down to the beach. Okay? So this is very important to remember, to look forward to doing something. Alright, guys, that is the end of pattern one. Now, the most important thing to remember is that normally, when you're using two and you use a verb afterwards, you need verb one. However, there are a few exceptions, but these exceptions are not very common. So for example, to confess to doing something, not very common, to be opposed to doing something, not very common, to be dedicated to doing something, not very common. To be used to doing something, sometimes you'll hear this phrase, this structure. So it's important to remember if you say you're used to, then you need to say verb ING. So used to getting stuck in traffic. And to look forward to doing something, this is also a structure that sometimes is used in English. So remember, if you're going to say you look forward to something, you need to say verb ING. I look forward to seeing you and your sister on the weekend. A 4. To (Brain Training Stage): All right, let's practice actually using this pattern because the more you use this pattern, the easier it will be for you to speak English correctly and you won't have to think about it. You'll speak and the words will come out of your mouth correctly and you won't have to think about it. So your instructions are repeat after me. Firstly, we will practice saying these words in a normal way. So to do to eat. Then we'll come back again and practice again and say, to do to eat, because this is the more natural way to say these phrases. So let's go. Repeat after me. To do. To eat, to go to run, to beat, to earn, to drive, to come to walk to work, to drink, to think to have to give to travel, to live, to meet, to explore, to learn, to help. Now let's do them again, but we'll say them in a more natural way. Repeat after me, to do to eat, to go to run. To beat to earn, to drive to come to walk to work, to drink, to think, to have to give to travel, to live, to meet to explore, to learn to help. One more time very quickly to go to think, to drive, to have to do to explore to meet to walk, to drink, to help to travel. Alright, guys, that's the end of the brain training stage. Hope you enjoyed that. Just remember, normally two plus verb one. 5. To (Mastery Stage): Now it's time for you to master using the language, your instructions. Choose the correct answer for each sentence which has the correct form of the verb. Question one, the boys want the newest game. W for buying, want to buying, want to bought, want to buy. The boys want to buy the newest game. So the correct answer is D. Now your turn repeat after me. The boys want to buy the newest game. Number two, have you ever wanted your old home Wanted for visit, wanted to visit, wanted to visited, wanted to visit Ting. Correct answer B. Have you ever wanted to visit your old home? So now you repeat after me. Have you ever wanted to visit your old home? Number three, the government is opposed to change the policy to changing to change or to changes. The government is opposed to changing the policy. Correct answer is B. Why? Because remember, guys, this is one of the exceptions. When we say is opposed to something, we need to have that verb ING, opposed to changing, opposed to going, opposed to voting. Now, repeat after me. The government is opposed to changing the policy. Number four, try your teeth twice a day. Try to brushing. Try to brush, try to brushes. Try to brush. Correct answer is D. Try to brush your teeth twice a day. So there's no exception here, guys. We've got two, so we need a verb one. Try to brush your teeth twice a day. Repeat after me. Try to brush your teeth twice a day. And last one, number five, what are you going for Christmas? Going to do, going to does, going to doing, or going to dozing. Correct answer is A. What are you going to do for Christmas? Very simple one, guys, two plus verb one. Repeat after me. What are you going to do for Christmas? 6. To (Listening Stage): Istening stage, your instructions. Listen to the sentence and decide whether the sentence is correct or incorrect, and think about why. Number one, the kids are interested in the new gadget and want to buy it. The kids are interested in the new gadget and want to buy it. This sentence is 100% correct, guys. Simple two plus verb one. Number two, are you looking forward to going away on the weekend? Are you looking forward to going away on the weekend? This sentence is 100% correct, guys, because it's one of the exceptions. Remember, if you're looking forward and then you say two, you need to have a verb ING, looking forward to going away on the weekend. If we said looking forward to go away on the weekend, this is verb in correct. Number three, he went to the shooting range to shoot some targets. He went to the shooting range to shoot some targets. This sentence is correct, two plus verb one, and there are no exceptions here. Number four, the man wants two taking the lift. The man wants two taking the lift. This is 100% incorrect guys because we've got two plus verb ING and there are no exceptions. The correct sentence should be the man wants to take the lift. Remember, two plus verb one unless there is an exception. Five, you need to go to the hospital right now. You need to go to the hospital right now. This is not correct, guys, because we've got two plus verb ING. It should be two plus verb one. You need to go to the hospital right now. All right guys, I hope you enjoyed that one, deciding which sentences were correct and not correct. I'll see you in the next lesson. 7. For (Learning Stage): Another very important pattern in English. Let's have a look. Ovens are used for cooking food. Have a look at this sentence and tell me what you think the pattern is. If you're not sure, have a look here four cooking. The pattern is four plus verb ING or sometimes a thing. Guys, normally, if you have four and then you use a verb, you need to use the verb ING. Ovens are used for cooking. Let's have a look at some more examples. Thank you for being a good listener. Guys, we've got four and then we've got a verb and then we've got ING. Four plus verb with ING. He needs something for storing his files. We don't say he needs something for store his files. No, that's incorrect because the rule is four plus verb ING. Very simple. It's a popular tool for developing systems. Again, four plus verb ING, very simple. Last little example, I want to buy it for my friend. Here, we're not using a verb, we're talking about a thing. So my friend, it's a thing. It is a noun. Now, pronunciation, when we say for very quickly, we normally say F. Ovens are used for cooking food. Thank you for being a good listener. He needs something for storing his files. It's a popular tool for developing systems. I want to buy it for my friend. Just remember guys, four plus verb ING. If you use four, and then you use a verb after it. You normally have to have verb I N G. 99% of the time guys, you'll need that verb ING. Now, for this pattern, there are no exceptions that I can think of. However, if you have an exception or you think you have an exception, please let me know. Guys, the most important thing to remember is if you have four and then you use a verb after it, you need to use the verb ING for going, for eating, for talking. Now, if you're not using a verb ING, then you'll normally have to use a thing. For example, for my brother, for my friend, for the dog. 8. For (Brain Training Stage): All right, let's get some practice. Your instructions are repeat after me. Remember the pattern, four plus verb ING, for going for eating for my cat. For starting for stopping for drinking, for changing, for being for doing, for reading for listening. I know the pronunciation guys of listening. We don't say listening. No, no, no, we just say listening for listening. For helping. For cooking. For him for making for learning, for my sister, for catching for their country, for editing. Now, let's quickly do it again, but we'll pronounce four as F. Remember, when native speakers speak very quickly, they normally don't say four. They say for going for eating for my cat. For starting for stopping, for drinking, for changing, for being, for doing, for reading. For listening for helping, for cooking, for him, for making, for learning, for my sister. For catching for their country, for editing. Just remember guys, if you use four and then you use a verb after it, you need verbing. If you're not using a verb, then you'll normally need a thing. 9. For (Mastery Stage): Okay, let's master this pattern. Instructions, choose the correct answer for each sentence which has the correct form of the verb. Number one, is it used for cook for cooking, Cook for cooked. Is it used for cooking? Guys, very simple. We've got four. We've got a verb, so we need to use the ING form. Repeat after me. Is it used for cooking? Number two, are you getting it as a gift? Your sister four in two on. Are you getting it as a gift for your sister? Because we've got sister sister is a thing, so we normally use four. Repeat after me. Are you getting it as a gift for your sister? Number three, most people use their iPads, the net for surf for surfs for surf for surfing. Most people use their iPads for surfing the net. Same again, basic pattern of English guys, four plus verb ING. Repeat after me. Most people use their iPads for surfing the net. Number four, do you work money or because you enjoy it at two in or four. Do you work for money or because you enjoy it? Money is a thing, guys, so we need to use four. Repeat after me, do you work for money or because you enjoy it? Number five, have you ever used your computer for it, for edited, for editing, for edits, videos? Correct answer is C for editing. Have you ever used your computer for editing videos? Same again, guys, for editing. Remember, four plus verb ING. Repeat after me, please. Have you ever used your computer for editing videos? 10. For (Listening Stage): Istening stage, your instructions. Listen to the sentence and decide whether the sentence is correct or incorrect and think about why. Number one, he thinks working hard for money is a good thing. He thinks working hard for money is a good thing. This is 100% correct, guys, just like in the mastery stage. We've got money, which is a thing. So we use four, four plus things. Number two, did you do it to the experience? Did you do it to the experience? This is 100% incorrect guys because experience is a thing. What do we use with things? Normally, we use four. The correct sentence is, did you do it for the experience? Not two. Number three, the man was upset to his friend. The man was upset to his friend. This is 100% incorrect as well, guys, because friend is a thing and when we have a thing, we normally use four. The correct sentence should be the man was upset for his friend. That probably means his friend was upset and the man also felt upset because his friend was upset. Number four, we use the basement for storing things. We use the basement for storing things. 100% correct, guys. We've got four. We've got a verb, and it's the ING form. Remember, four plus verb ING. Number five, she will do it for us while we are away. She will do it for us while we are away. 100% correct, again, because we've got us, which is a thing, so we use four. Remember, guys, four plus thing. She will do it for us while we are away. So don't forget if you have four and then you need a verb after it, you need a verb ING. Also, if you've got four, you normally use it with things. Don't forget this is one of the most important grammar patterns in English, and it's something that I see a lot of students get wrong. A lot of students say four plus verb one. For example, for eat, for go. This is not correct, guys. Remember, four plus verb ING. A 11. Is (Learning Stage): All right, this is pattern number three. This is a very basic one, but a very important one. So let's have a look. He is a very young lawyer. What is the pattern here? If you're not sure, have a look at He and is. Now, what is is? Correct, I is the verb to B. So the pattern is he plus is. Now, we also need to use is with it and singular subjects. So we've talked about singular subjects before. Singular means one thing. This is the pattern, guys, he, I, singular subject plus is. Let's have a look at some more examples. Paul is an ambitious man. So Paul is one man, so he is a singular subject. Is it the only one you want to buy? It is one, so we use is with it. She is not the smartest girl in the class. So again, following the pattern, plus is. And last sentence, the new table is very large and made of a beautiful lightweight material. So table is just one. It's a singular subject, so we use is with the new table. Now with pronunciation, a lot of the time we use contractions. So we don't say he is, we'd says. He's. We don't say Paul is. We'd say Paul's Paul's. Paul's an ambitious man. Is it? We would say, is it? Is it? The is and the I come together and we say, Is it? Is it the one you want to buy? Same with she is, we would say she's. She's not the smartest girl in the class. Now with table, we would also use a contraction. We'd say the new tables, very large. We wouldn't say table is, we'd say tables. Repeat after me, the new tables, very large. Perfect. Okay, exceptions. There are no exceptions that I can think of with this rule, guys. So that's the basic pattern guys. Just remember, he, she I plus a singular subject plus is he is she is, I I the dog is. 12. Is (Brain Training Stage): Okay, now it's time to do some brain training. Your instructions repeat after me. He is. She is. It is. He is not. She is not. It is not. He isn't isn't isn't he Is she? Is it John is. Grace is not. Mary isn't the pet? The kid is. The adult is not. The cleaner isn't the kitchen. Okay, one more time, but we'll say these phrases in a more natural way. He's. She's it's he's not or he isn't not or she isn't not. Or it isn't isn't isn't isn't he. Now note here that when we say is and he together, it becomes easy. Easy. For example, is he a doctor? Is he a doctor? Is she? Is it? Same again. The is and the I come together and we say, Is it? Is it? Is it a good movie? Johns. Grace isn't isn't the pet? The kids. The adults not or the adult isn't cleaner isn't the kitchen. Alright, guys, that's the end of the brain training stage. Just remember. He, she I. Singular subject plus I. 13. Is (Mastery Stage): Okay, welcome to the mastery stage for this pattern. Your instructions are. Choose the correct answer for each sentence, which has the correct form of the verb. Number one, why the kitchen, your favorite room is MR or B. Correct answer is, A, why is the kitchen your favorite room? The kitchen is just one thing, so we need to use is. Now repeat after me. Why is the kitchen your favorite room. Number two, you are working too hard, not good for you and not it and is it and it's and it to be. Correct answer is C. You are working too hard, and it is not good for you. Working too hard is just one situation, so that's why we use it. And if we've got it, we need to use is. Repeat after me, you are working too hard and it's not good for you. Number three, painted in a pastel yellow color, the house to be the house is the I house, the houses is. Correct answer is B. The house is painted in a pastel yellow color. House is just one thing. It's a singular subject, so we use I. Repeat after me, the house is painted in a pastel yellow color. Number four, the subject of extremely interesting maths, math to B, maths is or is math. Correct answer is C. The subject of maths is extremely interesting. Maths is just one subject. So that means we use I because maths is a singular subject. It's just one thing. Repeat after me, the subject of maths is extremely interesting. Now, please note that it's correct to say maths or math. In UK English, we normally say maths with an S, but in S English, they normally say math with no S. Number five, going to start the new job on Monday. John is, John is two, Will John is John. Correct answer is D. Is John going to start the new job on Monday? This is a question, and it's about one subject, so we put I before the subject. Repeat after me, I John going to start the new job on Monday? 14. Is (Listening Stage): Okay, it's time to practice your listening instructions. Listen to the sentence, and decide whether the sentence is correct or incorrect and think about why. Number one, Shane and Frank is going to the gym tomorrow. Shane and Frank is going to the gym tomorrow. This sentence is incorrect because Shane and Frank together are two people. And when we have two or more people, we don't use I. We use I with singular subjects. So to fix this sentence, we need to say Shane and Frank are going to the gym tomorrow because Shane and Frank, that's two people, not one. Number two, the most common type of furniture are a sofa. The most common type of furniture are a sofa. This is also incorrect because we are talking about one type of furniture, but we've used R. We need to use is because we're only talking about one type, and one type is a singular subject. So we need to say the most common type of furniture is a sofa. Number three, washing clothes is not the worst job in the world. Washing clothes is not the worst job in the world. This is 100% correct, guys, because washing clothes is just one thing. It's one topic, it's one subject. And when we have a singular topic, we use is. Washing clothes is not the worst job in the world. For, she is used to getting attention from boys. She is used to getting attention from boys. This is also correct because she is a singular subject, so we use is with S. Last one, number five, is it the one you are looking for? Is it the one you are looking for? Also correct, guys, we use is with it. 15. Am (Learning Stage): All right, this is pattern number four. It's a very, very simple one, so let's get into it. I am a teacher. What is the pattern here, guys? Look at the subject. We've got I, and then we've got M. That's it. That's the pattern, I plus M. Very, very simple. Let's have a look at some more examples. I am working on the project. I am together. Mi on the team, same again, M and I together. I means I am, I'm not going to the party tonight. I am not going to the gym today. Just remember guys, very, very simple. If you're using the word I and you need to use the verb to B in the present tense, we say am I am a teacher. I am working. We don't say I is and we don't say I. This is incorrect. In regards to exceptions, there are no exceptions I can think of. If you're ever using I and you need the verb to B in the present tense, always say I am simple, right? 16. Am (Brain Training Stage): Okay, let's do some brain training. This won't take long because again, it's a very, very simple pattern. Your instructions repeat after me. I am. I'm I'm not. I am not. Am I? One more time. I am. I'm. I'm not. I am not. Am I? That's it, guys. That's the end of I am very simple. Just remember if you're using the verb to B with I, use M. We're not going to do the mastery stage or the listening stage because this pattern is very, very simple and you should know it already. 17. Are (Learning Stage): Okay, welcome to pattern number five. Let's have a look at the first example. You are the best employee in the company. What is the pattern here? Well, we've got and then what form of the verb to B do we have? Correct? We've got R. So that's it, guys. That is the pattern. When we have they, or a plural subject, we use R. A plural subject is when we have more than one thing. So for example, the two students, one, two, it's more than one. Let's have a look at some other examples. The dogs are sleeping right now. Dogs are more than one, so this is a plural subject, so we use R. We are not working there anymore. Again, we with R. Are you planning to move overseas next year? So same again, we've got, so we need to use R. Finally, John, Fred, and George are all football players. One, two, three. So this is a plural subject because we've got three subjects, so that's why we use R. Now, when we say, very, very quickly, we normally say. So we'd say you're the best employee in the company. When we say we are very, very quickly, we would say, where we're not working there anymore. Now if we say they are, we'd say they're not working anymore as well. Just note, guys, that we often use contractions with this pattern, there, where, very important. Exceptions. There are no exceptions I can think of guys. If you have, they or a plural subject. We use it with. Now, this is when we're making a present tense sentence. If we are talking about something in the past, we need to use a different form of the verb to B, but we'll talk about that later in the course. So just remember for now, they plus plural subject U we are the dogs R. 18. Are (Brain Training Stage): Okay, let's train your brain so you can remember this pattern. Your instructions, repeat after me. You are. They are. We are. You are not. They are not. We are not. You're not. They're not. We're not. The people are because people is two or more, right? Those chairs are Tie products. Ah. You and I are. Are you? Are they? Are we? Are the books? Are the oats, beans and rice? What are you? Now, let's quickly do them again, but in a more natural way. You're there. Where? You're not. They're not. Now, you could also say you aren't they aren't not or we aren't not. They're not. We're not. The people are. Those chairs are. Thai products. You and I. Are you? Are they? Are we? Are the books? Are the oats, beans and rice? What are you? So just remember, guys, if you have, they, or a plural subject, you need to use if you're making a present tense sentence. 19. Are (Mastery Stage): Now it's time to master the language, your instructions. Choose the correct answer for each sentence which has the correct form of the verb. Number one, where the books you were talking about is M or B. Correct answer is B. Where are the books you were talking about? Books is a plural subject, so we need to use R. Repeat after me. Where are the books you were talking about? Number two, Mary Jane and June at the coffee shop is to be M or R. Correct answer is D, Mary, Jane and June at the coffee shop. Mary, one, Jane, two, June 3. So we've got three subjects, a plural subject, so we need to use R. Repeat after me, Mary, Jane, and June are at the coffee shop. Number three, the people going to vote for him is to be W. Correct answer is, A, are the people? Because People is a plural subject. Repeat after me. Are the people going to vote for him? Before, they not interested in history. A to B was. Correct, same again, we use with. So the correct answer is D. Repeat after me. They are not interested in history. And last one number five, the dogs and their owner, going to the park, M to B is. Correct answer is because look, we've got dogs and owner. That's more than one subject. So repeat after me, the dogs and their owner are going to the park. 20. Are (Listening Stage): Listening stage, your instructions. Listen to the sentence and decide whether the sentence is correct or incorrect, and think about why. Number one, are the two boys going to the gym tomorrow? Are the two boys going to the gym tomorrow? This is 100% correct because boys is plural, so we need to use R with pleural subjects. Are the boys going to the gym tomorrow? Number two, the thing he wants most are the games. The thing he wants most are the games. This is not correct because the thing is the subject, and the thing is only one. So when we have one thing, we use is, but here we've got R. So to fix the sentence, we need to say the thing he wants most is the games. Number three, sorting out the books are his job. Sorting out the books are his job. This is not correct. Sorting out the books is just one job. It's just one thing. And when we have just one subject, we need to use I. But here, we've got. So to fix this, we need to say sorting out the books is his job. Number four, my favorite hobbies are reading and cooking. My favorite hobbies are reading and cooking. This is 100% correct, guys, because we've got two subjects. My favorite hobbies are reading and cooking. Number five, are all those gadgets for sale? All those gadgets for sale. This is also 100% correct, guys, because gadgets is plural. We've got more than one gadget, so we use R with a plural subject. Alright, guys, that's the end of pattern number five. Hope you enjoyed that one, and I'll see you in the next part. 21. Was (Learning Stage): In the last few patterns, we talked about the present tense. In this pattern, we're going to talk about the past tense. So let's have a look. He was the best player in the world. What is the pattern here? Have a look at He and have a look at W. W is the verb to B, right? So that's the pattern, guys. We use W with He. If we have I, she, he, it, or a singular subject, we use them with W. So let's have a look at some more examples. Last week, the price was much lower. So the price is a singular subject. It's just one thing, so we say W. Same with this one. The company. The company is a singular subject. It's just one thing. So the company was having issues with the policy. Next one, was it the right thing to do? It plus W. Last one, I was not there at the time. So I plus was. Now, when we're pronouncing these words in red, we don't really change them, even if we're speaking quickly, we just say he was the best player. The price was, the company was. However, with was it, we'd say, was it. Was and the I come together and we say, was it? Was it the right thing to do. Now, there is one important exception to this rule, so let's have a look the exception is when the situation is not true and we're using a conditional or an I clause, we need to use WR. So, for example, we would not say if I was you, I would go to that university. We say WR because this sentence is not true. If I were you. Am I. No, I am not. I am me and are you. So if the situation is not true or not possible, we need to use were. Same with he, same with she. So if he were you, he wouldn't be doing anything. Is he you? No, he isn't this situation is not true. So just remember, when you've got a situation that's not true, we don't say was with these subjects, we say were. Now, these are called conditionals or if clauses. However, we do use was when we're talking about something that really happened. So, for example, when I was a kid, my parents often got angry with me. This is something that did happen in the past. We are not talking about a situation that is not true. We are talking about a situation that is or was true in the past. So just remember, guys, if the situation is not true, use wor if the situation that if you're talking about something that really happened in the past, then say W. So just remember, guys, I, she, he, it or singular subject plus W. However, if you're talking about something that's not true, use WR. But if you're talking about something that really happened, use was. 22. Was (Brain Training Stage): Okay, now it's time to train your brain again. Instructions repeat after me. I was. She was. He was. It was. I was not. She was not. He was not. It was not. Was I? Was she? Was he? Now, when we say was he, we normally say was he? Was he? Was he a doctor? Was he a teacher? Was it? Now, here we normally say was it? Was it a good game? Was it a good movie? The man was. The person was. The school was. Was the band? Social media was. The course was not. The thing was was the table? One more time, but in a more natural way. I was. She was. He was. It was. I wasn't wasn't he wasn't wasn't I? Was I was? Was she? Was he listen again. Was it was it the man was. The person was. The school was. Was the band? Social media was. The course wasn't. The thing was. Was the table? So just remember, guys, I, she, he, it, singular subject plus W. 23. Was (Mastery Stage): Okay, let's master this language now. Instructions. Choose the correct answer for each sentence which has the correct form of the verb. Number one, the government considering the issue was went to be. Correct answer is, A, the government was considering the issue. We say was because the government is one thing. It is a singular subject. Yes, the government has many people working for the government, but the government is only one thing. That's why we say W. Repeat after me, the government was considering the issue. Number two, the man walking down the street is W W or. Correct answer is B. The man was walking down the street. Man is one, it's a singular subject. So we use was with singular subjects. Repeat after me, the man was walking down the street. Number three, do you know if he in the military all those years ago we will was or? Correct answer is W. Do you know if he was in the military all those years ago? He is a singular subject, so we use W with He. Repeat after me. Do you know if he was in the military all those years ago? Number four, the piece of hair found under the table, W was or were. Correct answer is C W. Why? Because the piece of hair is just one hair. It's a singular subject. And again, singular subject plus W. Repeat after me, the piece of hair was found under the table. Number five, the park, the place where they met. Wilby was to be or were. Correct answer is B, the park was the place where they met. Why? Because park is a singular subject. It's one thing. Repeat after me, the park was the place where they met. 24. Was (Listening Stage): Istening stage, instructions, listen to the sentence, and decide whether the sentence is correct or incorrect, and think about why. Number one, the government were going to change the policy. The government were going to change the policy. This is incorrect, guys, because government is one thing. It's a singular subject. And when we have a singular subject, we need was. So to fix this sentence, we need to say the government was going to change the policy. Number two, Ann was cooking at that time. Ann was cooking at that time. This is an easy one guys, 100% correct because Ann is one person. She's a singular subject, so we use was with singular subjects. Number three, the team were playing really well at the start. The team were playing really well at the start. This is not correct, guys, because team is one thing. Wir is for two or more things, but team is one thing. So to fix this, we need to say the team was playing really well at the start because again, team is just one thing. It's a singular subject. And when we have a singular subject, we use W. Number four, was he at home last night or did he go out? Was he at home last night, or did he go out? This is 100% correct, guys, because we use was with He. Number five, last one. The kids was not at school last week. The kids was not at school last week. This is not correct, guys, because we've got a plural subject. And when we have a plural subject, we do not use was. So to fix this, we need to say the kids were not at school last week. Alright, guys, I hope you enjoyed deciding which sentences were correct and not correct. I'll see you in the next pattern. 25. Were (Learning Stage): Alright, pattern number seven, let's go. You were not available when I called. So what's the pattern here, guys? We've got And then what form of the verb to B have we got? Correct? We've got WR. So this pattern is they we plural subject, more than one subject, plus W. You were not available when I called. Let's have a look at some more examples. The employees were discussing the issue. Employees, plural subject plus W. Were they at the event plus they dogs and cats, plural subject, were his favorite animals. We were, we were not thinking about changing jobs until that happened. Just remember guys when you've got they, or a plural subject, and you need the verb to be in the past, we use WR. Now, there are no exceptions that I can think of, just remember the plural subject plus WR when you're talking about the past tense. 26. Were (Brain Training Stage): Alright, let's practice the pattern so you can use it automatically without thinking. Your instructions repeat after me. You were. They were. We were. The people were. You were not. They were not. We were not. The lions were not. Were you? Were they were we? Were the boys? Girls were. The plants were not. The buildings were. John and Fred were. The companies were computers weren't weren't were not. Let's say those again, but a bit faster and a bit more naturally. You were. They were. We were. The people were. You weren't weren't weren't ions weren't you? Were they? Were we? Were the boys? Girls were. The plants weren't buildings were. John and Fred were. The companies were, computers weren't weren't weren't remember guys, you, they, we plural subject plus were. 27. Were (Mastery Stage): Now, let's master using the language. Instructions. Choose the correct answer for each sentence which has the correct form of the verb. Number one, the Three girls at the concert last night is W W or. Correct answer is C. The three girls were at the concert last night. Three girls. That's a plural subject, so we use WR. Repeat after me. The three girls were at the concert last night. Number two, the staff not happy with the conditions, WR is was or are. Correct answer is A. The staff were not happy with the conditions because staff is two or more people. This is a plural subject, so we use pleural subjects with were. Repeat after me, the staff were not happy with the conditions. Number three, they not rich at that time. W was or were. Correct answer is D. They were not rich at that time, they with WR. Repeat after me, they were not rich at that time. Number four, the laptops inspected before use will be WRS are to be WR. Correct answer is WR. Laptops is a plural subject, so we use laptops with WR. Repeat after me, were the laptops inspected before use? Now number five, the men and the women at the park. W are to be WRS or WR Correct answer is D, guys, the men and the women were at the park. We've got men, a plural subject, women, plural subject, so we need to use were. Repeat after me, the men and the women were at the park. 28. Were (Listening Stage): Okay, now it's time to train yourself to know correct sentences and incorrect sentences, your instructions. Listen to the sentence and decide whether the sentence is correct or incorrect and think about why. Number one, the group were formed over two years ago. The group were formed over two years ago. This is not correct, guys because the group is one thing, but we use were with plural subjects. So to fix this, we need to say the group was formed over two years ago, because again, group is just one thing. It's one group. Number two, the band members were practicing for a long time. The band members were practicing for a long time. This is 100% correct, guys, because we've got members. That's a plural subject, so we can use it with WR. Number three, their parents was teachers at the school. Their parents was teachers at the school. This is incorrect because parents is a plural subject, and we're using it with W. We use W with singular subjects. So to correct this, we need to say their parents were teachers at the school. Number four, he was sorry that he were late to the class. He was sorry that he were late to the class. This is not correct, guys, because we're using he with were. He should be used with W. So to fix this, we need to say he was sorry that he was late to the class. Number five, last one. In the hotel, the guests were ready to check out. In the hotel, the guests were ready to check out. This is correct, guys because guests is a plural subject, so we can use plural subject with WR. All guys, that's the end of this pattern. I'll see you in the next pattern. 29. To Be (Active) (Learning Stage): Alright, guys, this is pattern number eight. This is a very, very, very important one, and it's a pattern that I see a lot of students make mistakes with. So let's get into it. I am driving down to the beach. What is the pattern here, guys? If you're not sure, look at A and look at the verb. So we've got A, which is the verb to B, correct? And what type of verb do we have? Do we have verb one? No, verb two, verb three, no, we have verb ING. So this is the pattern guys. Verb to B plus verb ING. I am driving down to the beach. I am drive to the beach? No, I am drove No. Let's look at some more examples. Is he working or studying at the moment? We've got the verb to B is, and then the verbs are NGs. Working, studying. The boys are verb to B undertaking their project to B plus verb ING. How often are you thinking about going to the gym? Same again, to B plus verb NG. And last one, she is deciding which university she should attend after she finishes high school. So very, very simple but very important, guys, verb to B plus verb I N G, driving is working, undertaking, thinking is deciding. Now, this also applies with the verb to be in the past. So we could say I was driving. We could say the boys were undertaking, and we can also use it to talk about the future. For example, I will be driving down to the beach. The boys will be undertaking their project. With the verb to B, we need verb ING. However, there is one main exception, guys. And that is when we are making a passive voice sentence and we have the verb to be, we need verb three. Now, a passive voice sentence is when something receives an action. So for example, the trees were cut down. So the trees, they didn't do anything. They're just there, and someone came and cut them down. The trees are receiving the action of being cut down. So let's have a look at some examples to make it a bit more clear. He was arrested by the police. So we've got verb to B, and we've got verb three. Now, you can see here that he didn't do anything. The police came to him and he received the action of being arrested. Next one, the cake was made by the chef. So again, we've got the verb to B plus verb three because this is a passive voice sentence. So the cake is receiving the action of being made by the chef. So just remember, guys. Normally, verb to B plus ING. However, if you're using the passive voice, and you have the verb to B, then you need verb three. But don't worry about this too much because in the next pattern, we're going to talk about this and look at it in more detail. So for now, just remember, guys, verb to B plus verb ING. I am going. He is going. They were going. The dogs were going. 30. To Be (Active) (Brain Training Stage): Okay, let's train your brain so you can remember this pattern without even thinking about it. Your instructions repeat after me. He is eating. I am going. They are running. Is she being? Am I drinking? Are we thinking? The cat is not sleeping. I am not working. We are not leaving. The dog was lying. I was making. The boys are talking. Is she cooking? Will I be looking? Were Fred and Steve gardening? The bird is chirping. I am not worrying. Will they be trying? Now, let's quickly do it again, but in a more natural and faster way. He's eating. I'm going. They're running. Is she being? Am I drinking? Note here how the A and the I come together. We don't say I, we say am I, am I? Am I? Am I drinking? Are we thinking? The cat isn't sleeping. The cat's not sleeping. I'm not working. We're not leaving. The dog was lying. I was making. The boys are talking. Listen to that one again. The boys. The boys. The boys are talking. I she cooking? Will I be looking? Note here how we don't say will I, the will and the I come together, and we say W I? Will I? Will I be looking? Were Fred and Steve gardening, the birds chirping. I'm not worrying. Will they be trying? So as you can see, guys, we've got the verb to B in all of these sentences. And in all of these sentences, we've got the verb ING. So just remember, guys, verb to B plus verb ING. Very, very, very important. 31. To Be (Active) (Mastery Stage): Okay, it's that time again. Let's master the language, your instructions. Choose the correct answer for each sentence, which has the correct form of the verb. Number one, why are they in the rain? Walk, walked, walking or walks. Correct answer is B. Why are they walking in the rain? We've got the verb to B, and it's not a passive voice sentence, so we need verb I N G. Repeat after me, why are they walking in the rain? Now, number two, Georgia and Mary are on holiday next week. Gone, go, went or going. Correct answer is D. Georgia and Mary are going on holiday next week. Again, we've got R. It's not a passive voice sentence. So we need the verb ING. Repeat after me, Georgia and Mary are going on holiday next week. Number three, the dog is not right now. Eating, eaten, eats or ate. Correct answer is, A, guys, eating. The dog is not eating right now. We've got. So again, we need verb ING. Repeat after me, the dog's not eating right now. Number four, I'm with a company in the education sector. I'm worked. I'm to work. I'm working. I'm work. Correct answer is working. I means I am. So we've got the verb to B. So we need to use the verb ING. Now, I hear a lot of students say things like, I'm work with a company, but this is incorrect because we've got the verb to B. And again, when we have the verb to B, we need ING. If you just want to say work, you don't need to say A. So you could say I work with a company in the education sector. Repeat after me, guys, I'm working with a company in the education sector. Last one, number five, most people are not about it now. Worry to worry worrying warriors. Correct answer is, of course, B. Same again, guys, verb to B plus verb ING. Repeat after me, most people are not worrying about it now. 32. To Be (Active) (Listening Stage): Istening stage, your instructions. Listen to the sentence and decide whether the sentence is correct or incorrect and think about why. Number one, I am work. I am work. I hope you knew straight away, guys, that this sentence is incorrect. We've got A, so we need to have a verb ING. So we must say I am working. That's correct. Or like I said, in the mastery section, you can say I work. You can say I plus verb one. That's fine. Or you can say I plus M plus verb ING. Number two, the man is taking his dog for a walk. The man is taking his dog for a walk. This is 100% correct, guys. We've got the verb to B, and then we've got verb ING. Number three, I am not study at a university in the city. I am not study at a university in the city. Again, guys, I hope you knew straight away that this sentence is incorrect because we've got AM and we've got verb one. We need Am plus verb ING. So to correct this, we need to say, I am not studying at a university in the city. We could also say, I do not study at a university in the city. Number four, the kids are watching the concert on TV. The kids are watching the concert on TV. This sentence is 100% correct. We've got the verb to B and we've got verb ING. Perfect. Number five, last one. What are you doing next weekend? What are you doing next weekend. 100% correct, as well. Verb to B plus verb ING. Alright, guys, I hope you enjoyed that pattern. Just remember verb to B plus verb ING. So very important but a very simple pattern in English, and a lot of students get it wrong, so I don't want you to get it wrong. 33. To Be (Passive) (Learning Stage): Pattern number nine. This is a very interesting one, guys, and it's related to the last pattern. So let's have a look right now. They were arrested by the police. What's the pattern here, guys? You should know already because we talked about it in the last lesson. We've got the verb to B, W, and we've got which verb guys? Is this verb one? No, verb two. Okay, maybe, or is a verb three. Yes, it is verb three. Pattern pattern number nine is to be plus verb three when you're using the passive voice. Remember we talked about the passive voice in the last lesson. Now, you're probably asking what is a verb three? This is not a grammar course, so we're not going to go into it very deeply, but we'll very quickly have a look at some examples of verb threes. Now verb threes are also called past participles. Let's have a look at some examples. Verb one, et. This is the most basic form of the verb. Verb two, eight, this is the simple past tense verb. Verb three is eaten. If we use this pattern, we need to use verb three. An example could be the cake was eaten. Simple to B plus verb three. Let's have a look at some more examples. Put, put, put. So this is very, very simple, guys. Verb one is put. Verb two is put, verb three is put. C, saw SN. So if you want to make a passive voice sentence with this verb, you need to choose SN. Next one, watch, watched and watched. Talk, talked and talked. Drink, drink, drunk. So words, you have to completely change to make a verb three. For example, eat, to eaton, we change the word. Some verbs, you don't change at all. Put, put, put. That's easy, right? So, you just add ED. For example, watch and talk. We say watch and watched. Talk and talked. Drink, for example, you have to change the word completely and say drunk. Okay, let's have a look at some more examples. The cake is made with a lot of delicious ingredients. So we've got verb to B, and we've got verb three because it's a passive voice sentence. Next one, trees were cut down by the company. So the trees are receiving the action. We've got the verb to B, so we need verb three because it's a passive voice sentence. The sausages are being eaten by John. Passive voice. We've got the verb to be, and we need a verb three. And last one, the notes will be given to you. We've got the verb to be, so we need verb three. So just remember, guys, if you're making a passive voice sentence where something receives the action, you need to use to be plus verb three. Now, there's one exception we need to talk about and we talked about it in the last pattern, pattern eight. That is to B is often used with verb ING, especially if you're using an active voice sentence. This is the opposite to a passive voice. Now, sometimes you might use to B plus verb N G in a passive voice sentence. And there was one example on the previous slide, so let's have a look. The sausages are being. So look what we've got. We've got to B plus verb N G. Eaten by John. So we've got to be, plus verb ING, plus verb three. Now, this is the most common structure you will see guys with ING When you're using a passive voice sentence, you'll see or verb to B plus being plus verb three. So normally, if you're using the passive voice, you just need to be plus verb three. But if you make a continuous tense sentence into the passive voice. So that means verbs with ING, then you will need to use being. The active voice sentence, guys, is John is eating the sausages. Now, to change that, we need to say the sausages are being eaten by John. So don't worry about this too much. Just know that normally we say to B plus verb three. But sometimes if you have a continuous sentence, something with ING, then you might need to say to be plus being plus verb three. But just remember for now guys, if you're making a passive voice sentence, you always need verb three and you always need to be, but sometimes you might need something in the middle like the word being. 34. To Be (Passive) (Brain Training Stage): Okay, let's train your brain to remember this pattern. Your instructions, repeat after me, is eaten and put are placed, was drunk, were taken, will be given is opened, are closed, was cooked, were talked. Is trained, are not made, was created, were done, will not be put, is not washed. Are moved, were known, were not said, are fed. So let's do those again in a more natural and fast way. Is eaten, is eaten and put placed was drunk, were taken, will be given is opened, is opened, is eaten, is opened, are closed, was cooked, we talked, is trained, aren't made. Was created. We're done. Won't be put isn't washed, are moved, were known, were not said, are fed. To just remember, guys, to be plus verb three if you're using the passive voice. 35. To Be (Passive) (Mastery Stage): Okay, time to master the language, choose the correct answer for each sentence which has the correct form of the verb. The house was in 1990, build, builded, built, or building. Correct answer is B built. The house was built in 1990 because this is a passive voice sentence. We've got the verb to B, so we need verb three. Repeat after me, the house was built in 1990. Number two, cakes by putting them in an oven. Baked, Baking, bakes or bake. Cakes are baked by putting them in an oven. So the correct answer is A, because we've got a passive voice sentence. We've got the verb to B, so we need verb three. Repeat after me, cakes are baked by putting them in an oven. Number three, Ann was to work by her friend driving, drive, driven, drove. Correct answer is B. Verb three for Drive, guys, is driven. Repeat after me, and was driven to work by her friend. Number four, the company is by law, protected, protecting, protects, protect. Protected Protected is Verb three for protect. Repeat after me. The company is protected by law. Last one, number five. The issue will be about next week. Talking, talking, talks or talked. Correct answer is D, guys. The issue will be talked about next week. We've got the verb to B. It's a passive voice, so we need verb three. Now, verb three for talk is talked, not talking. Now note the pronunciation. When we have KE D, we pronounce it as So it's like that ED is pronounced as a as a T sound. Repeat after me, the issue will be talked about next week. I 36. To Be (Passive) (Listening Stage): Okay, time to see if you know which sentences are correct and not correct. Your instructions. Listen to the sentence and decide whether the sentence is correct or incorrect and think about why. Number one, the cake was cut up by the waiter. The cake was cut up by the waiter. This is 100% correct, guys. Verb three for cut is cut, cut, cut, cut. Number two, the drinks were drank in an hour. The drinks were drank in an hour. This is not correct guys because verb three for drink is drunk. To correct this, we need to say the drinks were drunk in an hour. Number three, the bed was make by Rachel. The bed was make by Rachel. Incorrect, guys, 100% incorrect because we've got the verb to B, and verb three for make is made. So to correct this, we need to say the bed was made by Rachel. Number four, the shopping was put on the table. The shopping was put on the table. This is 100% correct, guys, because verb three for put is put put, put, put. Number five, it's think that most people will not vote for him. It's think that most people will not vote for him. This is 100% incorrect because we've got the verb to B, but we don't have verb three. Verb three for think is thought. So to correct this, we need to say it's thought that most people will not vote for him. Or you could say it is thought that most people will not vote for him. Okay, we finished another pattern. I hope you enjoyed that. Just remember, a passive voice sentence needs verb three. 37. Do (Learning Stage): Alright, guys, we are up to pattern number ten already. Let's have a look. I do my laundry on the weekend. What's the pattern here? Have a look here. We've got I and do. This is the pattern, guys. We use I and other subjects with D. So the pattern is I, you, we, they, and plural subjects with D. Let's have a look at some more examples. They do their chores after work. They plus do, very simple. You do some charity work on the weekend, don't you? We've got and do I do everything just for fun. So same again, I and do. Now, this one, we've got the boys. The boys are a plural subject. But again, we still use do. Do the boys want to have some food with me tonight? Now, with this one, guys, there are no exceptions that I can think of. So just remember, I we the plural subject plus D. I do. You do, we do. They do the dogs do. 38. Do (Brain Training Stage): Okay, time for the brain training stage. Your instructions repeat after me. I do. You do. We do. They do. The girls do. I do not. You do not. We do not. They do not. The dogs do not. Do I? Do you? Do we? Do they? Do the friends? John and Paul do. The teams do not. Do the classmates. Movies do not. Animals do. Let's do that one more time, but a bit faster and more naturally. I do. You do. We do. They do. The girls do. I don't don't don't don't dogs don't I? Do I? It's like there's a W between the do and the I. Do I? Do you? Do we? Do they? Do the friends? John and Paul do. The teams don't the classmates? Movies don't do. So just remember, guys, I, you, we, they plural subjects, plus D. No te guys that do is for the present. Now, when we're using do, we can use D in the positive form. I do. We can use do in the negative form. I do not. And we can also use do in the question. Do I. 39. Do (Mastery Stage): Let's master the language. Instructions, choose the correct answer for each sentence, which has the correct form of the verb. Number one, they enjoy working on the weekend. Do doing does done. Correct answer is A. Do they enjoy working on the weekend? A is used with D. Repeat after me. Do they enjoy working on the weekend? Number two, news presenters have a difficult job. Doesn't does. Correct answer is don't presenters do not have a difficult job. Why? Because we've got presenters presenters is a plural subject, so we use do with pleural subjects. Repeat after me, guys, news presenters don't have a difficult job. Number three, the bystanders not do anything to help. Don't do doing or done. Correct answer is S, guys, the bystanders do not do anything to help. Bystanders is plural, right? So we use plural subjects with do. Repeat after me, the bystanders do not do anything to help. Next one, number four, he think cars are damaging the environment, does, done, do or doing. Correct answer is does. Does he think cars are damaging the environment? He is not one of the subjects we talked about in this pattern, so that means it can't be do, so that means it must be does. And we'll talk about does more in the next pattern. Repeat after me, does he think cars are damaging the environment? Now, I know we haven't talked about does yet, but I just put this one in here because I want to make you think about which words are correct and not correct. Okay, last one, guys. Number five, the girls do their chores on the weekend. Doing, do not do does. Correct answer, guys, is do. Girls are plural, so we need to use do. Repeat after me. Do the girls do their chores on the weekend? 40. Do (Listening Stage): Now it's time to train yourself to hear mistakes, Your instructions, listen to the sentence and decide whether the sentence is correct or incorrect and think about why. Number one, does the police think they made the right decision? Does the police think they made the right decision? This is not correct, guys, because police is a plural subject. So when we have a plural subject, we need to use do, remember? So to correct this, we need to say, do the police think they made the right decision. Number two, most houses do not fall over in strong winds. Most houses do not fall over in strong winds. This is correct, guys, because we've got houses, which is a plural subject, and we use pleural subjects with do. Number three, do you get much time to go traveling? Do you get much time to go traveling? This is 100% correct guys because we've got. The subject is you and when we have the subject as you, we use it with do. Number four. Mary, John and Ann, does a lot of things together. Mary, John and Ann does a lot of things together. This is 100% incorrect, guys, because look, we've got one, two, three. We've got three subjects. And when we have a plural subject or more than one subject, we use do. So to correct this, we need to say, Mary, John, and Ann, do a lot of things together. Number five, last one. You do not look like you're enjoying your food. You do not look like you're enjoying your food. Guys, this is 100% correct because we've got as the subject, and we use with D. Alright, that is another pattern that you have learned. I hope you enjoyed that one, and I'll see you in the next pattern. 41. Does (Learning Stage): All right, guys, this is pattern number 11. Let's have a look. She does yoga on the weekend. What's the pattern here? We've got she and then we've got does. That is the pattern, guys. When we have He, she it or a singular subject, we use does. She does yoga on the weekend. Let's have a look at some more examples. He does his homework in the morning. He plus does. It does not do much apart from around the house. I'm guessing that's talking about a dog or an animal or a cat. It, it plus does. Does John like me? John is a singular subject, so we use it with does? The mother does a lot of chores around the house. Mother, also a singular subject plus does. Now, when we're using does, guys, we're using it to make present simple sentences, and we can use does in the positive form. She does. We can use does in the question, does John, and we can use does with the negative when we're saying no. It does not do much apart from e around the house. Just remember guys. He, she, it, singular subject plus does when we're talking about the present. Now again, there are no exceptions that I can think of. Remember guys. He, it, singular subject plus does. He does. She does. It does not does the couch. 42. Does (Brain Training Stage): Okay, let's put this pattern right into your brain. Instructions repeat after me. He does. She does. It does. The dog does. He does not. She does not. It does not. Does he? Does she? Does it Does the man? The balcony doesn't movie doesn't kitchen does. What does he do? My friend does. My uncle doesn't Does your mother does your student does it help? Now, let's say these more naturally and in a faster way. He does. She does. It does. The dog does. He doesn't doesn't it doesn't he? Now, know the pronunciation. We don't say does he. We say does. Does. Does he? Does he like the movie? Does he like the food? Does she? Does it? Does it? So this is the same as does he, we join does, and it together. Does it? Does it provide good food? Does it provide good entertainment? Does the man? The balcony doesn't movie doesn't kitchen doesn't does he do? Listen again, what does he? What does he do? My friend does. My uncle doesn't your mother? Does your student? Does it help? Does it? Does it help? Alright, guys, so just remember, he, she, it. Sing a subject, plus does. 43. Does (Mastery Stage): All right, it's time for you to master the pattern again, choose the correct answer for each sentence, which has the correct form of the verb. What I mean, D, doing, does, done. Very simple one, guys. Correct answer is B. We've got it and we use it with does. What does it mean? Repeat after me. What does it mean? Number two, the staff, not like the new manager. Done, D, does or doing. Correct answer is C, guys, the staff do not like the new manager. Staff is plural. It's more than one. So when we have a plural subject, we use do. Repeat after me, the staff do not like the new manager. Number three, the government. A good job with that issue. Does doing done do. Correct answer is does. The government does a good job with that issue. The government is one thing. So when we have a singular subject, we use does. Now, could we say the government doing? No, we couldn't? Because normally when we have ING, we need to have the verb to B. So we could say the government is doing a good job. That's correct. However, we don't have the verb to B. So in this case, guys, we need to say does. Repeat after me, the government does a good job with that issue. Number four, human activity damage the planet. Done, do, does did. Does human activity damage the planet? Human activity is one thing. It's a singular subject, so we use does. Does human activity damage the planet. Last one, guys, number five. These things not bother you. Do, done, does, or doing. Correct answer is A, guys, these things do not bother you. Why? Because things is plural. So when we have a plural subject, we use do. Repeat after me, these things do not bother you. 44. Does (Listening Stage): All right. Let's see if you know which sentences are correct and not correct. Your instructions. Listen to the sentence and decide whether the sentence is correct or incorrect and think about why. Number one, does the staff agree with the decision? Does the staff agree with the decision? This is 100% incorrect, guys. Why? Because staff is plural, like we've already talked about. So when we have a plural subject, we need to say do. The correct sentence needs to be, do the staff agree with the decision? Number two, the group does not care much about that issue. The group does not care much about that issue. This is correct, guys, because group is one thing. It's a singular subject. And when we have a singular subject, we use does. Number three, does your friend play much basketball? Does your friend play much basketball? Correct. Friend is one, and when we have one, we use does. Four. Do the team always come on time. Do the team always come on time. This is not correct guys because team is one, but we've used D. D is for pleural subjects. We need does for singular subjects. To correct this, we need to say, does the team always come on time? Number five, last one, what does these sentences mean? What does these sentences mean? Incorrect, guys, because sentences is a plural subject. So we need to say what do these sentences mean. All right, guys, I hope you enjoyed those patterns learning about do and does. They're very simple but very, very important. I'll see you in the next lesson. 45. Did (Learning Stage): We are up to pattern number 12. In this pattern, we're going to talk about Did. Let's have a look. She did not complete the project. What's the pattern here? Correct. Very simple. S and D. Let's look at some more examples because the patterns are a little bit more than that. He did do the work before he went out. So we can use she we did, he with D. Did they go to the park yesterday? So we can use they with Did, she, he, they. The young boys did some impressive gymnastics. So we can use a plural subject with Did. Mary Ann and Fred did many things at the carnival. So we've got one, two, three. Again, we've got a plural subject with did. And last one, I did the best that I could, so we can use I with did. So what is the pattern here, guys? Very, very simple. The pattern is, you can use did with all subjects. He, she, it, they, we, I, you. Plural subjects and singular subjects. So, guys, when you're using did, you don't have to think about it. Whatever subject you have, you can use it with Did. She did. He did, did they? I did. And now, note that Did is talking about the past. Now, Did can be used in the positive. He did do. So we're saying, yes, that happened in the past. You can also use Did in the negative. She did not complete the project. So we're saying that did not happen. And you can also use it in a question. Did they go to the park yesterday? Guys, it doesn't matter if you're using it in the positive, negative, or a question, you can use DID with all subjects. Next, no exceptions and I can think of guys. If you need to use DID, you can use did with all subjects. Don't think about it, use it. He did, she did. I did. We did, they did, the dogs did, the boy did. 46. Did (Brain Training Stage): All right, let's do some practice and train your brain for how to use DID. Remember, we can use did with all subjects. So instructions, repeat after me. I did. You did. He did. She did. They did. We did. The boys did. I did not. You didn't didn't she didn't didn't didn't kids didn't I? Did you? Did he did we did the crabs, did the phones. So again, guys, as you can see, you can use did with all subjects. Now, we'll quickly do that again in a faster and more natural way. I did. You did. He did. She did. They did. We did. The boys did. I didn't didn't didn't didn't didn't didn't kids didn't I? Did I note the pronunciation, the D and the I come together? Did I? Did I do something wrong? Did I finish the project? Did you did you did you finish the project on time? Did you go to the party? Did he? Did he? Did he do something wrong? Did he eat the food? So when we say this one, guys, the H disappears. We don't say that H sound. We just say the E sound. We say Diddy. Now note here, guys. We don't say Di De very slowly. We only say diddy when we're speaking very, very quickly. So if you're saying this very slowly, you would say, did he? Did he go out last night? We wouldn't say Di Di go, no, no, no, no, no, only say Diddy when you're speaking very, very quickly. Did we? Did the crabs? Did the phones. So just remember, guys, all subjects plus did and you can use DID in the positive, the negative, and the question. Now, we're not going to do the mastery and listening stages because DID is pretty simple. You can use it with any subject. So I'll see you in the next pattern. 47. Verb 2 (Learning Stage): All right, guys, we're up to Pattern 13 already. This one is a little bit similar to the last one, so let's have a look. I went out to the movies yesterday. We've got I. What verb do we have? Verb one, two or three. Correct? Verb two. Let's we look at some more examples. He completed his work on time. We've got completed, which is also a verb two. We ate dinner before 7:00 P.M. We plus eight. Eight is verb number two, very nice. The pets behaved very well, even though there were a lot of visitors. Pets, this is a plural subject, and we've got behaved. Behaved is also a verb, two, past tense verb. It rained pretty heavily last week. Same again, guys, rained is verb two. What is the pattern here? We've got I, he, we, Pets, it plus verb two. Correct? All subjects plus verb two. Guys, you can use any subject plus verb two if you have a positive sentence. I went out. We're saying this thing happened, but we cannot use this formula. With negative sentences or questions. So if we say I not went out, no, but this is incorrect. If we say did, I went out, but this is incorrect. So just remember guys, if you're making a positive sentence in the past, you can use verb two with all subjects. He, she, I, I, you, we, they, singular subjects, plural subjects. You can use verb two, but just remember, it must be a positive sentence. He completed his work. This did happen. We ate dinner. This did happen. These are positive sentences. Now, we'll talk about negatives and questions later in the course. But for now, there are no exceptions to this rule. So remember, guys, all subjects plus verb two. He went, she ate, the girls danced, the boys walked, all subjects plus verb two for a positive sentence. 48. Verb 2 (Brain Training Stage): Alright, let's train your brain to remember this pattern. Instructions, repeat after me. I ate. She went. He came. We watched. They destroyed. The people saw. I decided he forgot, she informed, they fell. The boys fed, the girl danced. He agreed. She became. I began. They imagined people held. She gave the chefs cooked, the players played. So just remember, guys, all subjects plus verb two will very quickly do it again. I ate. She went. He came, we watched. They destroyed. The people saw I decided he forgot. She informed, they fell. The boys fed, the girl danced. Could we say the girls danced? Yes, we could because all subjects plus verb two, if it's a positive sentence, he agreed. She became, I began. They imagined, people held. She gave the chefs cooked, the players played. So just remember, guys, all subjects plus verb two in a positive sentence. I know I've said it 1 million times, but it's a very important pattern to know and to remember. Now, we're not going to do the mastery and listening stages for this pattern, guys, because it's a very simple pattern, all subjects plus verb two when you're making a positive sentence. 49. Did + Verb (Learning Stage): All right, pattern 14. Let's have a look, guys. Did you eat pizza? What's the pattern? We've got did and what verb do we have? Correct. We've got verb number one. Let's have a look at some more examples. He did stay very late last night. Did plus what verb? Correct. Verb one. Julia did not come to see me yesterday. We've got Did and again, verb one. Now look here, we've got a question and we've got did and verb one. Here, we've got a positive sentence, Did and verb one. Here, we've got a negative sentence, did not, and then we've got verb one. You should be able to see the pattern now. Did your friends drive down to the airport the other day. Same again, Did plus verb one. I did not do anything like that. Same again, Did plus verb one. So what is the pattern, guys? Very, very simple. Did plus verb one. This can be for a positive sentence, a negative sentence, and a question. So it's a very, very simple pattern, but many students get it wrong. So don't you get it wrong, guys. Remember that with Did, we always use verb one. Did you eat Did he stay? Julia did not come. Did your friends drive? Did plus verb one, positive, negative, and questions. No exceptions, guys, remember when you're using did, use verb one. Did go, did eat, did drive, did walk. 50. Did + Verb (Brain Training Stage): Okay, let's practice the pattern and put it into your brain. Instructions repeat after me. Did eat, did go, did run, did jump, did not perform, did not work, didn't speak, didn't write? Did he come? Did the boys go? Didn't watch, did make. Did the couple sing? Did they drive, did think, did decide, didn't want, didn't have Did she buy? Didn't sell. So you can see here, guys, with all of these dis, we simply use verb one. So it's very, very simple, guys. Whenever you use did use verb one. Now, we'll do it very, very quickly again, more naturally and faster. Did eat? Did go, did run, did jump. Didn't perform, didn't work, didn't speak, didn't write? Did he come? Now, when we have did and he together, we say, did he? Did he come? Did he go? Did he walk? Did the boys go? Didn't watch? Did make? Did the couple sing? Did they drive? Did think, did decide, didn't want, didn't have? Did she buy, didn't sell? So remember, guys, I know I've said it ten times. I'll say it again. Did plus verb one. 51. Did + Verb (Learning Stage): We're not going to do the mastery stage for this pattern, guys because it's too easy, but we will quickly do the listening stage. So let's go. Your instructions, listen to the sentence and decide whether the sentence is correct or incorrect and think about why. Number one, did he work today? Did he work today? This is 100% correct, guys, very simple. Did plus verb one. Number two, the kids didn't played in the park. The kids didn't played in the park. This is not correct because we've got Did, but we don't have verb one. We've got verb two. To fix this, we need to say the kids didn't play in the park. Number three, didn't you came to Bangkok last year? Didn't you came to Bangkok last year? This is not correct, guys, because again, we've got did and we've got verb two. This is not the pattern. When we use did, we need verb one. To fix this, we need to say, didn't you come to Bangkok last year? Because C is verb one. Came is verb two. Number four, my parents did do all of the work. My parents did do all of the work. This one is correct, guys, because we've got Did plus verb one. Number five, last one. What did he say when he spoke to you? What did he say when he spoke to you? Again, this is 100% correct, guys, because we've got Did plus verb one. What did he say? Alright, guys, I hope you enjoyed that pattern. Remember. Did plus verb one. 52. Verb 1 No -S (Learning Stage): Pattern 15. Here we go. They like soccer. What's the pattern here, guys? A plus verb number one, correct. So the pattern is I, the, or a plural subject, plus verb one with no S. We'll talk about why that's important in the next lesson. And this is just for present tense, guys. So one more time. I the plural subject, plus verb one with nos. Let's have a look at some more examples. I want to learn something new. So we've got I, and then we've got verb one, nos, and we've got it in the present tense. Next one, we go there for the food. So we've got, and we've got verb one with noS. Now note, guys, this rule applies for positives, negatives, and questions. So we could say they like soccer. They do not like soccer, and we could say, do they like soccer? So in all of these examples, we don't use S. We're using verb one when we're talking in the present tense. Next one, the dogs, plural subject, enjoy going for walks at the park. They spend plenty of money. They plus verb number one with no S. Again, remember, guys, this applies for positives, negatives, and questions. So we could say they spend plenty of money. Perfect. We could say they do not spend plenty of money. So we're still using verb one. And for the question, we could say, do they spend plenty of money? Again, verb one, no S. Now, there's no exceptions for this rule, guys. So just remember, guys, when you're using I, U, we, they, or a plural subject, and you use verb one, you don't need S. And we'll talk about why this S is important in the next pattern. So for example, I like you go, we think they walk. The dogs eat. Just remember verb one, no S. 53. Verb 1 No -S (Brain Training Stage): All right, let's put this pattern into your memory. Your instructions repeat after me. I like. You want. We think they decide cats eat. I run. You go. We come, the men shoot, the girls dance. I do not cut. Do you find we finish. They don't install. Do the players jog, the boss' work. The fighters kick. Do I watch? You don't build. Do they earn? Okay, let's do it again, but more naturally and faster, I like. You want. We think they decide cats eat. I run, you go, we come, the men shoot, the girls dance. I don't cut. Do you find we finish. They don't install. Do the players jog? The bosses work, the fighters kick. Do I watch? You don't build? Do they earn? To just remember, guys, I, we the plural subject plus verb one, no S. I know I've said it ten times, but it's very, very important. 54. Verb 1 No -S (Mastery Stage): All right, time for you to master using this language. Instructions, choose the correct answer for each sentence, which has the correct form of the verb. Number one, they to music every night before bed. Listen, listening, listens or to listen. Correct answer, guys, is A, because we've got a. So we have verb one with no S. Repeat after me, they listen to music every night before bed. Number two, the men on a daily basis. Rains training is train train. Correct answer is D. Men is a plural subject, so we say verb one with no S. However, if we had the man, that's only one, we would say the man trains on a daily basis, but we'll talk about that in the next pattern. Repeat after me, the men train on a daily basis. Next one, number three, I happy because I landed a new job. Feeling felt, feel or feels. Correct answer is B because we've got I, so we use verb one with no S. Now, if we had I am, what verb would we use? Correct, we'd use verb ING. I am feeling happy. But because we don't have A, we need to use verb one. Repeat after me, I feel happy because I landed a new job. Number four, the dogs sleeping out the back. Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy, to enjoy enjoying or enjoys. Correct answer is enjoy, guys, dogs is plural, so we use verb one with no S. Repeat after me, the dogs enjoy sleeping out the back. Number five, they boxing from Monday to Friday to practice, practice, practicing, practices. Correct answer is practice. They practice boxing from Monday to Friday. We've got the, so we need verb one with no S. Repeat after me, guys, they practice boxing from Monday to Friday. 55. Verb 1 No -S (Listening Stage): Okay, let's see if you know which sentences are correct and incorrect. Your instructions. Listen to the sentence and decide whether the sentence is correct or incorrect and think about why. Number one, the staff enjoys their time off work. The staff enjoys their time off work. This is incorrect, guys because staff is plural. And when we have a plural noun, we do not use this S to correct this, we need to say the staff enjoy their time off work. Number two, we eat pizza every Friday night. We eat pizza every Friday night. Easy one, guys, this is correct. We've got. When we have we, we don't use S with our verb one. Three, you need to tell your mother what happened? You need to tell your mother what happened? This is not correct guys because when we have, we use verb one with no S. So to correct this, we need to say, you need to tell your mother what happened. Four, they work at a law firm in the city. They work at a law firm in the city. This is correct guys. We've got a plus verb one with no S. Last one, number five, the couple live about 30 minutes from the city. The couple live about 30 minutes from the city. This is incorrect, guys, because couple is one thing. It's one pair, it's one group. It is not plural. So that means we cannot use live with no S. We need to say the couple lives about 30 minutes from the city. And we're going to talk about verb one with S in the next pattern. Alright, guys, that's the end of this pattern. Hope you enjoyed that one. I'll see you in the next pattern. 56. Verb 1 With -S (Learning Stage): Let's have a look at Pattern 16. Let's get into it. He likes soccer. What's the pattern here, guys? We've got E and we've got, which is verb one, two or three. Correct? Verb one, but we've also got S. What's the pattern? Let's have a. He, it or singular subject plus verb one with S. If the sentence is a positive sentence in the present, he likes soccer. If we just say he likes soccer, this is incorrect. Let's have a look at some more examples. She wants to learn something new. Again, we've got S. We've got verb one with S because it's a positive sentence in the present. She wants to learn something new. It enjoys lying on the sofa. So we've got it. We've got verb one with S because it's a positive sentence in the present. I enjoys. Next one, the teacher teaches in a very specific way. So teacher, singular subject, one subject, plus verb one with S. The teacher teaches. And last one, the band produces amazing music. The band singular subject, verb one S, a present tense sentence in the positive. So this is very important, guys. It's such a small little thing. However, many students always forget to say this S here. If you say things like he likes soccer, she want to learn something new, it's enjoy lying on the sofa. This is incorrect and it will make you sound not like a native speaker. If you do want to sound like a native speaker, guys, you must have that Super super important. Now, there's no exceptions that I can think of. If you're making a present tense sentence, which is positive and you have He, she, it, or a singular subject, and you have verb one, you need to add S. He likes, she goes. It wants the book looks very, very important. Remember that S. 57. Verb 1 With -S (Brain Training Stage): Okay, it's time to put this pattern into your brain so you never forget it. Remember, he, she it, singular subject, plus verb one with S, if you have a positive sentence in the present, your instructions repeat after me. He likes. She goes, I enjoys. The cat needs. The bar requires. He walks. She trains. It rains. The man works, the woman lives. He cuts. She employs. I steams. The oven cooks. He trains, she flies, it connects. The chef slices he writes, she reads. One more time. He likes. She goes, I enjoys the cat needs. The bar requires he walks, she trains. It rains. The man works, the woman lives. He cuts. She employs. I steams, the oven cooks. He trains, she flies. I connects. The chef slices. Note the pronunciation here, guys. If you have CES, it's pronounced as as Sly Cs. Same with the word sentence. If we have CES, we need to say sentences. Sentences. One more time, the chef slices. He writes. She reads. Now, guys, I want you to repeat this lesson a few times because this is a very, very important pattern, and most students get it wrong, especially when it comes to using the word it. A lot of students will just say I steam, I enjoy, it rain, I connect. But that's not correct. You need to say that S. So please do this lesson a few times, guys. It will help you to be able to say that S automatically, and you don't have to think about it. And that's one of the most important things in English, if you want to be fluent in English. Need to be able to speak English without thinking about it. Like when I speak English, I don't have to think about it. For example, when I say he likes, I don't even think about it. That S just comes out. I I don't say he likes and I just say he like, my brain knows it's wrong because I've said this so many times before in the past, so my brain already knows and can already hear that there's something a bit wrong. Please practice this pattern many times, guys, and I'll see you in the next lesson. 58. Verb 1 With -S (Mastery Stage): Okay, let's master using this important pattern, your instructions. Choose the correct answer for each sentence which has the correct form of the verb. Number one, the cat eats dinner at around 7:00 P.M. Eat, eats, eaten, to eat. Correct answer is B eats. Why? Because we've got cat, which is a singular subject. We've got verb one. It's a positive sentence. It's a present tense sentence, so we need to use that S. Repeat after me, the cat eats its dinner at around 7:00 P.M. Number two, the pilots overseas a few times a week. Flies flying flu. Correct answer is A fly. Why? Why is A the correct answer? Look what we've got here. We've got pilots. In the previous example, we had CAT, which is one, right? That's why we use S. But here, we've got pilots. So because we've got the S here, we don't need the S here. So the correct answer is a fly. Repeat after me, the pilots fly overseas a few times a week. Number three, the government to implement a new policy wants to want want or wanting Correct answer is, A, the government wants to implement a new policy. Why? Because government is a singular subject. And when we have verb one in the present, we need to use it with S. Repeat after me, the government wants to implement a new policy. Number four, He soccer on the weekend. Play to play playing or plays. Correct answer is D. He plays soccer on the weekend. He is singular, so we need the S with that verb one. Repeat after me, he plays soccer on the weekend. Last one. Number five, boxing matches, place on Friday night. Taking, take, takes, taken. Correct answer is C, take, Y? Because we've got a plural subject, boxing matches. When we have the S here, we don't need the S here. Repeat after me, boxing matches take place on Friday night. 59. Verb 1 With -S (Listening Stage): Listing stage, instructions. Listen to the sentence and decide whether the sentence is correct or incorrect and think about why. Number one, the group intend to take action in court. The group intend to take action in court. This sentence is not correct because we've got group, group is only one. So when we have a singular subject, we need to have that S with the verb. So to correct this, we need to say the group intends to take action in court. Number two, it rests every day at around 5:00 P.M. It rests every day at around 5:00 P.M. This is correct because we've got it, which is a singular subject, and we've got the S. It rests. Number three, he watches television every night. He watches television every night. This is correct, guys, because same again, singular subject, we've got E, and we've got the S. He watches. Number four, she lives in a new condo next to the train station. She lives in a new condo next to the train station. This sentence is also correct, guys. We've got a singular subject plus S. S lives. Last one, number five, the kid like eating vegetables. The kid like eating vegetables. This is not correct because kid is one and we don't have the yes. To fix this, we need to say the kid likes eating vegetables. All right guys, I hope you enjoyed learning about that pattern. This is one of the most important patterns in English and it's one of the patterns that most students get wrong. So please make sure you don't get it wrong. 60. Have (Learning Stage): Okay, this is pattern 17. Note my pronunciation there guys. I didn't say 17. I said 17 17. Anyway, let's get into the pattern. I have a laptop. What's the pattern here? We've got I and we've got have. You have a nice place to live. What is the pattern here? We've got and H. Perfect. Next one, we have a new restaurant opening. What's the pattern? Same again, we and have, and last one, they have a lot of money. They plus have. So the pattern is guys, I, you, we, they, and plural subjects plus have. Now, this pattern applies and is correct when we've got a positive sentence, when we've got a negative sentence, and when we've got a question. So let's have a look at a few more examples. Do the men have many properties? Plural subject, men plus have. And like I said, we can use this pattern in a question. Next one, the kids don't have a lot to learn this year. So kids, same again, plural negative with have. Next one, they have nothing to worry about. Same again, the plus have. And last one, do I have plenty to do tonight? I plus have. Pretty simple, guys, and you should already know this pattern. It's one of the most basic patterns in English. Exceptions, none that I can think of. So just remember, I, we, they, plural subject plus have. I have, you do not have do we have? They have the books have. 61. Have (Brain Training Stage): All right, let's train your brain to remember pattern number 17, IU the plural subject plus have your instructions repeat after me. I have. You have. We have. They have the stars have I do not have. You don't have. We don't have they don't have the shops don't have do I have? Do you have? Do we have? Do they have? Do the schools have the actors have dogs have the parents have the staff have, the students have. One more time, I have. You have. We have. They have the stars have. I do not have. You don't have we don't have. They don't have the shops don't have. Do I have? You have? Do we have? Do they have? Do the schools have the actors have dogs have, the parents have, the staff have, and students have. So remember, guys, I, you, we, they, plural subject, plus have. Now, we're not going to do the mastery and listening stage for this pattern because it's too easy. However, in the next pattern, you have a test of your understanding of this pattern, so I'll see you there. 62. Has '(Learning Stage): Alright, guys, this is pattern number 18. Let's have a look. She has a boyfriend. What is the pattern here? We've got she and then we've got has. So that is the pattern, very, very simple. He, she it. Singular subject plus has in the positive in the positive. Let's have a look at some more examples. He has a new computer. He plus has in the positive. It has some new features. Same again. It has positive. The man has some new colleagues. Man is a singular subject. So we use has not have. She has three brothers and two sisters. So same again, S plus has in the positive. So this is very important, guys. Remember, he, she, it and singular subjects with has in the positive. So let's have a look at the exception. What do you think the exception is? Correct. If you have a negative, always use have. For example, he does not have, it does not have. We don't say he he does not have. No, this is incorrect. With the negatives, guys, use have. He does not have, it does not have. She does not have the laptop does not have. Now, with does or do questions, same again, always use have. For example, does he have not has? Does it have not has? Do you have not has? Just remember guys, the pattern is he, she, it, and singular subjects, plus has in a positive sentence, she has it has. However, if you're saying no, if you're saying a negative, we use have, he does not have, it does not have, she does not have. Also, if you've got a does or a do question, always use have. Does he have? Does she have? Does it have, do you have? 63. Has (Brain Training Stage): Alright, let's train your brain to remember this pattern. Instructions, repeat after me. He has. She has. It has. The kid has. He doesn't have. She doesn't have. It doesn't have. A man doesn't have. Does he have? Does she have does it have? Does the man have the bike has. A cat has. The condo has. Does the condo have the school does not have. Does this have one more time. He has. She has. It has the kid has. He doesn't have. She doesn't have. It doesn't have. The man doesn't have. Does he have? Does she have? Does it have? Does the man have the bike has a cat has. The condo has. Does the condo have the school does not have. Does this have. So just remember, guys, he, she it. Singular subjects plus has in the positive. However, if you have a negative, we use have. If we have a do or does question, we use have. 64. Has (Mastery Stage): Mastery stage, your instructions. Choose the correct answer for each sentence which has the correct form of the verb. Number one, the news, a lot of interesting stories, has to has have or to have Correct answer is has guys. Yes, news has an S. However, news or the news is one thing. That's why we use has and not have. Remember, singular subjects plus has. Repeat after me, the news has a lot of interesting stories. Number two, a lot of new things in their home have has to have to has. Correct answer is A, they have a lot of new things in their home. Why? Because we use they with have and is a positive sentence. Repeat after me, they have a lot of new things in their home. Number three, the man completed the training yet has, have is. Correct answer is a has. Why? Why is has the correct answer? It's a question, right? So it should be have. No, only have in do or does questions. But this is not a do or does question, and the man is singular. So when we use singular subjects, we use has. Repeat after me. Has the man completed the training yet? Four, does he a middle name has had having or have I D is the correct answer because we've got a does question. Remember, do or does questions plus have with all subjects. Does he have? Does she have? Does it have or do they have? Do we have? Remember, do or does questions. We always use have. Repeat after me, does he have a middle name? Last one number five, the team does not match this weekend. Having has have or had Correct answer is C, have because we've got a negative sentence. Remember, whenever we've got a negative, all subjects use have. He doesn't have. They don't have. We don't have all subjects we say have. Repeat after me, the team does not have a match this weekend. 65. Has (Listening Stage): It's that time again. Let's see if you know which sentences are correct and incorrect. Instructions, listen to the sentence and decide whether the sentence is correct or incorrect and think about why. Number one, do you have any food ready for tomorrow? Do you have any food ready for tomorrow? This is correct. We've got with have. It's a does or do question, so we need have. Number two, the teacher have many students in the class. The teacher have many students in the class. This is incorrect because teacher is singular, so we need to use the word has. So to fix this, we need to say the teacher has many students in the class. Number three, television has a big place for many people. Television has a big place for many people. This is correct, guys, because television is just one thing. If we have a singular subject we use has. Number four, Thailand have a lot of beautiful places. Thailand have a lot of beautiful places. This is not correct, guys. Thailand is how many countries? Correct. Thailand is just one country. And if it's one subject, if it's a singular subject, we need to use has. So to correct this, we need to say Thailand has a lot of beautiful places. Number five, last one. Have your child been to the doctor yet. Have your child been to the doctor yet? This is also not correct because child is one. It's a singular subject, so we need to use has. And remember, this is not a do or does question, so we don't need have because child is one thing, we need to use has. So to correct this, we need to say, has your child been to the doctor yet. Okay, that's the end of another pattern. I hope you enjoyed that one, guys. H and has, it's a very important one. So make sure you practice and make sure you get it right. 66. Have/Has + Verb (Learning Stage): Okay, this is pattern number 19, and it's a very, very important one. I have eaten my dinner. What is the pattern here? We've got H, and then what verb have we got? Is it verb one, two, or three? Correct. It's verb three. This is the pattern for this lesson, have or has plus verb three. I have eaten my dinner. We don't say I have eat my dinner. No, we don't say I have ate my dinner. No. Now, remember we talked about verb threes in one of the previous patterns. These are words such as eaten, seen and given. Let's have a look at some more examples. He has not been there before, has plus verb three. Have they completed the project? Same again, H plus verb three. They have cut down the tree. Same again, H plus verb three. The girl has achieved the score she wanted for Ios has plus verb three. Now note here this pattern applies in positive sentences like this one, I have. It applies in negative sentences. He has not, and it applies in questions. Have they completed the project? Guys, this is a super important pattern. So please remember normally, when you're using have and has, and you're using a verb, you need verb three. No verb one, not verb two, you need verb three. Now, there is an exception and that exception is sometimes you may have has or have plus verb ING. For example, has doing all that work made you tired? Has being so famous been positive or negative? Have the boys helping you been a surprise? Now, note here that this pattern here is normally used in questions. But don't worry too much about this pattern because this is an advanced grammar pattern that you don't really see too much. I just want you to know that sometimes you need to use verb ING. However, more than 90%, maybe 95% of the time, if you have have or has and you use a verb, you need to use verb three. So please remember guys have or has plus verb three. 67. Have/Has + Verb (Brain Training Stage): Okay, it's that time again, let's train your brain to remember this pattern. Instructions repeat after me. I have eaten. You have been. We have watched. They have seen. He has cooked. The girls have talked. Mum has decided Dad has come. Have you got? She has not done. Have I known? He has worked. Has she used? You have called. He has not arrived. The cat has not woken up. I have not looked. She has said George has told. One more time. Remember, have or has plus verb three. I have eaten. You have eaten. We have watched. They have seen. He has cooked. The girls have talked. Mum has decided, Dad has come. Have you got? She has not done. Have I known? He has worked. Has she used? You have called. He has not arrived, the cat has not woken up, or you could say the cat hasn't woken up. I have not looked. You could say I haven't looked. She has said, George has told. So look here, guys. All of these verbs are verb threes, eaten, watched, seen, called, worked, known, remember, have and has with verb three. This is an area where a lot of students get it wrong. So remember, it's very simple have or has plus verb three. 68. Have/Has + Verb (Mastery Stage): Alright, it's time for you to master the language. Instructions. Choose the correct answer for each sentence which has the correct form of the verb. Number one, have you about the new program. Ask, asking, asked or asks. Correct answer is B, asked. Why? Because we've got have and we need verb three. Asked is verb three for ask. Repeat after B, please. Have you asked about the new program? Number two, they have already left, leave leaved or leaving. Correct answer is A, left. Left is verb three for leave. We've got have, so we need to have verb three. Repeat after me, they have left already. Next one, number three, the teacher has already the new student meet meets, met or meeting. Correct answer is met. We've got has, so we need verb three, and meet is verb three for meet. Repeat after me, the teacher has already met the new student. Number four, have Mary and Ann better people become became becoming becoming. Have Mary and Anne become better people? Correct answer is A, because we've got have and we need to use Verb three. Now verb three for become is become become became become. Repeat after me. Have Mary and Ann become better people? Five, I have not the new song. Here, heard, hearing, hears. Correct answer is C heard. I have not heard the new song. We've got H. So again, we need verb three, and heard is Verb three for here. Repeat after me. I have not heard the new song. 69. Have/Has + Verb (Listening Stage): Istening stage, instructions. Listen to the sentence and decide whether the sentence is correct or incorrect and think about why. Number one, have you worked at all today? Have you worked at all today? This is correct because we've got H plus verb three. Work, worked, worked. Now note the pronunciation. When we have KED, the ED is pronounced as a T sound, worked, worked. Number two, have you ever wrote something that long? Have you ever wrote something that long? This is incorrect because we've got have, so we need verb three. Rote is verb two. So to fix this, we need to say, have you ever written something that long? Number three, he has not add anything to the article. He has not add anything to the article. This is incorrect, guys because we've got has, but add is not verb three. Add is verb one. To fix this, we need to say he has not added anything to the article. Now, pronunciation, when we have DED, it's pronounced as add. Add, he has not added anything to the article 4, she has never won a competition before. She has never won a competition before. This sentence is fine, guys. We've got has, and we've got verb three. Last one, number five. I have cut down a tree before. I have cut down a tree before. Again, this is also fine. This is also correct. We've got have, and then we've got verb three. So just remember, have and has plus verb three. This is a very, very, very, very important pattern, and it's very simple, so make sure you get it right. 70. Have/Has Been (Learning Stage): We are up to pattern number 20. Let's have a look. The cake has been baked. The cake has been baked. What is the pattern here? We've got has been, and what verb? Correct. Similar to the last pattern. However, now we've got bean. So the pattern is, have and has plus been plus verb three. So remember, if you ever say has been, you need verb three. Let's have a look at some more examples. I have been made the new president of the company. I have been plus verb three made. Has he been trained yet? Has been verb three. So you can probably see now that we can use this structure with positive sentences and with questions and also with negatives. The car has not been sold. Same again, has been sold, which is verb three. And last one, John and Paul have been employed by them for many years, have been plus verb three employed. So just remember, have and has plus been plus verb three, and you can use this pattern in the positive, the negative, and when you're using or making questions. Now, there's one very important exception that you need to know about, and it's sometimes we say have or has been plus verb in G. For example, I have been living there for ten years. He has been working there since March. As you can see, we've got have been plus ING, has been plus verb ING. However, this structure is normally used with a continuing event. So something that started in the past, and it's still happening right now. This is definitely a common structure, have has plus been plus verb by NG. However, if you're not talking about a continuing event, you probably will use this pattern at the top here. Like I said before, this is not a grammar course, so I'm not going to go deep into grammar. However, if you're not talking about a continuing event, this pattern here is the one that you normally use, have or has plus been plus verb three. 71. Have/Has Been (Brain Training Stage): Okay, this is the brain training stage. Let's go. Instructions, repeat after me. Have been eaten, has been drunk, have been seen, has been watched, have been driven, has been learned, have been done, has been taken, have been stolen, has been made. Have been training. This is an exception has been watched, have been needed, has been required, have been put, has been placing. This is also the exception we talked about. Have been broken, has been caught, have been lost, has been had. You can see here that all of these verbs, except for this one and this one, are verb threes. Let's do that one more time, have been eaten, has been drunk, have been seen. Has been watched, have been driven, has been learned, have been done, has been taken, have been stolen, has been made, have been training has been wanted. Have been needed, has been required, have been put, has been placing, have been broken, has been caught, have been lost, has been had. So just remember, guys, normally have or has plus been plus verb three. However, sometimes you might have been, sorry, have plus been plus verb ING. 72. Have/Has Been (Listening Stage): Alright, we're not going to do the mastery stage for this pattern, but we will do the listening. Your instructions are the same as normal. Listen to the sentence and decide whether the sentence is correct or incorrect and think about why. Number one, has he been affected by the problem? Has he been affected by the problem? This is correct, guys because we're following the pattern has plus been plus verb three. Number two, he has been writing for more than 3 hours. He has been writing for more than 3 hours. This is correct because this is one of the exceptions we can say has been plus verb ING. Three, have the plates been put away? Have the plates been put away? This is not correct, guys, because we've got have and been, but putted is not verb three. Put is verb three. So to correct this, we need to say, have the plates been put away. Put is verb one, put is verb two, and put is also verb three. Number four, he has been replacing by another employee. He has been replacing by another employee. This is not correct because this sentence is not talking about a continuous or continuing situation that started in the past and is still happening now. We're talking about something that is finished, so we need to say has been plus verb three. He has been replaced by another employee. Last one, number five, John and Michael have been placed in a different group. John and Michael have been placed in a different group. This is also not correct, guys, because we've got have been, but we don't have verb three. To correct this, we need to say John and Michael have been placed in a different group. Now, when we have CED, the pronunciation of the ED is a T is a sound. John and Michael have been placed in a different group, have been placed. Alright, guys, I hope you enjoyed that one. The most important thing you need to remember is normally have or has plus verb three. 73. Can (Learning Stage): This is pattern number 21. Let's have a look. He can swim very well. What's the pattern, guys? We've got can and what verb do we have? Correct. Verb one. The pattern is C plus verb one with all subjects. He can swim. She can swim. They can swim. The dogs can swim. Whatever can swim. You can use it with any and all subjects. Let's have a look at some more examples. She can cook a variety of different foods, C plus verb one. Not can cooking, not can cook, okay, C plus verb one. Very simple, guys, if you use can use verb one. Can I come in? Same again, C plus verb one. Now note here that we've got positive sentences. He can swim. We've got questions. Can I come in, and we've also got negatives. You cannot speak to him like that. Oh, this should be in red, shouldn't it? That's better. Next one, John and Ann can meet you at a PM. Same again, C plus verb one. Last one, you can be a bit more friendly. C plus verb one. Very simple pattern guys, C plus verb one. All subjects, and you can use it in the positive, the negative, and in questions. Now, there are no exceptions that I can think of guys. Don't say can going, can eating can work. No, this is not correct. C plus verb one. 74. Can (Brain Training Stage): Okay, let's train your brain to remember this pattern. Instructions, repeat after me. Can't eat, cannot drink. Can he go? Can I win? They can't drive. I can fight. He cannot watch. She can be. The kids can play. John can't meet. Can train. Can she make? He can sing. They can't do. Can we perform? She can't work. I can undertake. You can put. The man can sleep, girls can dance. In all of these little examples here, guys, look what we've got verb one, eat, drink, go, drive, train, do work. Let's do it one more time. Can eat. Cannot drink. Can he go? Can I win? They can't drive. I can fight. He cannot watch. She can be. The kids can play. John can't meet. Can train. Can she make? He can sing. They can't do. Can we perform? She can't work. I can undertake. You can put the man can sleep, girls can dance. So just remember, guys, C plus verb one with all subjects in the positive, the negative, and the question. 75. Can (Mastery Stage): Time for you to master the language, your instructions, choose the correct answer for each sentence which has the correct form of the verb. Number one, can you? Me for lunch at 12:00 P.M. Met, meeting, met Mets. Correct answer is A meet. Can you meet me for lunch at 12:00 P.M. C plus Verb one. Very, very simple. Repeat after me. Can you meet me for lunch at 12:00 P.M. Number two, I can't that right now. Eating eat, eight, eaten. Correct answer, guys, is C. I can't eat that right now. We've got C, so we need verb one. Repeat after me. I can't eat that right now. Number three, I can definitely and absolutely that for you. Done, doing, did, or do. Correct answer is D. We've got C, so we need verb one. Repeat after me. I can definitely and absolutely do that for you. He can't do that, but he can that one fixing fixes or fixed. Correct answer is a fix because we've got can, so we need to use verb one. Repeat after me, please. He can't do that, but he can fix that one. Number five, last one. John isn't sure how he can. The correct answer Chosen chooses, choose, choosing. Correct answer, guys, is B. John isn't sure how he can choose the correct answer. We've got K, so we need verb one. Repeat after me, guys, John isn't sure how he can choose the correct answer. 76. Can (Listening Stage): Listening stage instructions. Listen to the sentence and decide whether the sentence is correct or incorrect and think about why? Number one, can you going to get me some food? Can you going to get me some food? This is not correct, guys, because we've got C plus verb ING. What's the pattern? Correct. C plus verb one. To fix this, we need to say, can you go to get me some food? Number two, what can we do about the situation? What can we do about the situation? This is 100% correct because we've got C plus verb one. Number three, most people cannot performing a pull up. Most people cannot performing a pull up. Incorrect because we've got can, but we've got verb ING. We need verb number one, C plus verb one. So to fix this, most people cannot perform a pull up. Number four, John and Paul can enter the competition. John and Paul can enter the competition. This is correct. This is fine. We've got C plus verb one, can enter. Last one, number five. Can you listen to what I'm saying, please? Can you listen to what I'm saying, please? This is 100% correct because, again, can plus verb one, very simple. C plus verb one. Alright, guys, that's the end of this pattern. Just remember, C plus verb one. No can going, not can doing, can go, can do. 77. Will (Learning Stage): Alright, guys, this is pattern number 22. Let's get into it. He will be the one to help you. What's the pattern here? We've got he and then we've got Will. Let's keep looking. Next one, will you get a drink? What's the pattern here? We've got Will with you. Next one, she will be happy with her results, S and Will. So it looks like we can use all subjects with W, right? They will not take the bus to the festival. I will be back later tonight. So that's the pattern, guys. We can use all subjects with W. Plural, singular. He, she, it. A, they, we. We can use all subjects plus W. Now, there's no exceptions to this rule, guys, and this will be a very, very, very short lesson because it's a very simple pattern. If you want to use W, you can use it with all subjects. Singular plural, he, she, it, I, we, they, whatever, all subjects can be used with W. 78. Will (Brain Training Stage): Alright, let's put this pattern into your brain so you never forget it. Instructions repeat after me. He will. She will. It will. I will. They will. We will. John will not. Mary and Fred won't will not. She won't I will not. We won't they? Will I? Not the pronunciation here, guys. We don't say will I. We say, will I. It's like the W and the I are joined together. Will I? Will I? Willie. Same with this one. We don't say will he, the will and the he come together, and we say Willie. Willie go to the party? Willie get a drink? Will the students. Will Andy? The kids will, won't they? Will your mum? One more time? He will. She will. It will. I will. They will. We will. John will not. Mary and Fred won't will not. She won't will not. We won't they? Will I? Willie, will the students? Will Andy? The kids will, won't they? Will your mum? So just remember, guys, all subjects plus W. Now for this one, we're not going to have the listening and the mastery stage because it's such a simple pattern, so I'll see you in the next pattern. 79. Will + Verb (Learning Stage): All right, guys, this is pattern number 23. We're going to talk about W again. So let's have a look at the example. Will you buy a drink. We've got W and what verb do we have? Correct. Verb number one. That is the pattern, guys, W plus verb one. Let's have a look at some more examples. It looks like they will go to the cinema. W plus verb one, not Will going, not Will went, not Will bean, W plus verb one. I will not take part in that. W plus verb one. He will not get what he wants. Same again, W plus verb one, G is verb one. What will you do with all that money? W plus verb one. Now note here we can use this pattern with questions. We can use this pattern with positive sentences. We can use this with negative sentences. This pattern applies for positives, negatives, and questions. W plus verb one. Now there are no exceptions, guys, just remember W plus verb one. We'll go, we'll take, we'll eat, we'll finish. 80. Will + Verb (Brain Training Stage): All right, let's put this pattern into your long term memory. Instructions, repeat after me. We'll take. We'll give, we'll provide, we'll use, we'll entertain, we'll not drive, we'll not lead, won't water won't happen. We'll not place. Won't train, will he learn? Will she drink? Will they turn it on? Will the kid go? Will the table be? We'll sit, won't stand, will the man start, won't finish. So in all of these examples, guys, we've got verb one. Let's do it again. One more time. We'll take. We'll give, we'll provide, we'll use, we'll entertain we'll not drive, will not lead, won't water won't happen. Well not place, won't train, Wi learn. Note that we say Willie not will he? Willi learn? Will she drink? Will they turn it on? Will the kid go? Will the table be? We'll sit, won't stand. Will the man start, won't finish? So just remember, guys, very, very simple but very important W plus verb one. 81. Will + Verb (Mastery Stage): Okay, time to master the language, instructions. Choose the correct answer for each sentence which has the correct form of the verb. Number one, will you there before 5:00 P.M. Get getting, got to get. Correct answer is A, will you get there before 5:00 P.M. We've got W, so we need verb number one. Repeat after me, will you get there before 5:00 P.M. Number two, I will not any more money on the issue. Be spend, spend, spending, spent. Correct answer is C, spend. We've got will, so we need verb one, which is spend. Repeat after me, I will not spend any more money on the issue. Next one, number three, I can definitely say he will the party, attend, attending to attend, attended. Correct answer is A, he will attend the party. Same again, guys, W plus verb one. Very simple. Repeat after me, please. I can definitely say he will attend the party.

Number five, last one, guys, the woman will not her handbag opened, opening to open open. Correct answer is D. The woman will not open her handbag. We've got will, so we need verb one. Repeat after me, guys, the woman will not open her handbag. I 82. Will + Verb (Listening Stage): Listening stage. Let's see if you know which sentences are correct and incorrect. Instructions. Listen to the sentence and decide whether the sentence is correct or incorrect and think about why. Number one, will you being the one to help me? Will you being the one to help me. This is not correct, guys because we've got verb ING with W. The pattern is W plus verb one. To correct this, we need to say, will you be the one to help me. Two, will she drive or catch the bus? Will she drive or catch the bus? This sentence is correct. This is fine. We've got W plus verb one and verb one. Three, the woman said she will get married next year. The woman said she will get married next year. This is also fine, guys. We've got Will plus verb one. The woman said she will get married next year. Four, the two men will join the competition. The two men will join the competition. This is also correct, guys. We've got W plus verb one. The two men will join the competition. Five, last one. Will you stopping and just listen, please? Will you stopping and just listen, please. This is not correct because we've got W plus verb IN G. The pattern is W plus verb one. To correct this, we need to say, will you stop and just listen, please. All right, guys, that's the end of another pattern. Please remember W plus verb one, not we'll stopping, we'll going. We'll drinking? No, no, no, W plus verb one. We'll stop. We'll go, we'll drink. I'll see you in the next pattern. 83. Should Would Could (Learning Stage): All right guys, this is pattern number 24. This is a very, very important one, so let's have a look. They could turn down the music, but they don't. We've got Cod plus what verb. Correct. Verb one. Let's have a look at some more examples. The child should behave more politely. We've got should, plus behave, which is verb number one, correct. I would come out, but I don't have time. We've got Wood plus come. Come is verb number, one again. So we've got C verb I should verb one, W verb one. You should be able to see the pattern now. Should he lie in the sun for so long? Should plus lie. Verb one. And last sentence, the employee could not attend the meeting due to him being unwell. So we've got could attend. Could plus verb one. So what's the pattern? Correct. Pattern is C W, should plus verb one. Now, we can use this in the positive, could turn. We can use this in the negative, could not attend, and we can use this pattern in the question form. Should he lie in the sun for so long, should plus verb one. This is a very important pattern, guys, just remember when you use Co Wood you need to use verb number one. Now there are no exceptions to this rule that I can think of. So if you have a sentence and you're using wood and you need a verb, use verb one. Would go, would drink. If you're using should and you need a verb, use verb one. Should walk, should see. If you're using C, and you need a verb, use verb one. Could learn, could stop. 84. Should Would Could (Brain Training Stage): Okay, it's time to train your brain so you remember this pattern. Let's go. Instructions repeat after me. Should lie. Could watch, would stand, should not spend, could not do, would not drink, should go. Could wait, would attend, should not meet. Couldn't send. Would hold, should pretend, C where? Should work, wouldn't sit, C stand, should play, would allow, should come. So in all of these examples, guys, look here, we've got verb number one, send, watch, spend, work. Let's do it again, but a bit quicker and a bit more naturally. Should lie. Could watch, would stand, shouldn't spend, couldn't do, wouldn't drink, should go, could wait, would attend, shouldn't meet Couldn't send, would hold, should pretend, could wear, should work, wouldn't sit, could stand, should play, would allow should come. So just remember, guys, C W, should plus verb one. 85. Should Would Could (Mastery Stage): It's time for you to master the language, instructions, choose the correct answer for each sentence which has the correct form of the verb. Number one, you should really a doctor, see, seeing to see, seeing. Correct answer is A, guys, C, should plus verb one. Repeat after me. You should really see a doctor. Number two, how could someone something like that, D, doing, did or done? A is the correct answer, guys. How could someone do something like that? We've got Cd, so we need verb one, which is do not did, not doing, not done. Repeat after me, how could someone do something like that? Number three, I would definitely for that position, applying, applied to apply, apply. Correct answer, guys, is D, I would definitely apply for that position. Wood plus verb one. Repeat after me, I would definitely apply for that position. Number four, could you up some milk on the way home? Pick, picking to pick. Correct answer, guys, is pick. Could you pick up some milk on the way home? Could plus verb one, very, very easy, very simple. Repeat after me, please. Could you pick up some milk on the way home? Last one, number five, shouldn't you more attention to your work. Pay, paying to pay paid. The correct answer is pay, guys, should plus verb one. Yes, should is in the negative. We've got should not. But remember, we can use should plus verb one if it's in the positive, the negative, or a question. And this is actually a question as well because we're asking a question about what we think someone should do. Repeat after me, guys, shouldn't you pay more attention to your work? 86. Should Would Could (Listening Stage): Now it's time to see if you know which sentences are correct and incorrect. Instructions. Listen to the sentence and decide whether the sentence is correct or incorrect and think about why. Number one, would you take the course if you had the money? Would you take the course if you had the money? This one looks good to me, guys. We've got wood plus verb one, very easy, very simple. Number two, I could not do that as well as you. I could not do that as well as you. Same again, guys. This one looks fine. It looks good. We've got Cod plus verb one, and that is following the pattern. Number three, they should really starting to work harder. They should really starting to work harder. This is definitely not correct, guys. This is not following the pattern. So to fix this, we need to say they should really start to work harder. Should plus verb one. Number four, would you work there if you had the chance? Would you work there if you had the chance? This is correct, guys, Wood plus verb one. Last one, number five, is this correct or not correct? He could not giving up cigarettes if he tried. He could not giving up cigarettes if he tried. This is definitely not correct, guys. We've got Cod plus verb ING. So to fix this, we need to say he could not give up cigarettes if he tried. Cod plus verb number one. Alright, guys, that is the end of another pattern. Hope you enjoyed that one. Just remember, C, should and would plus verb one. 87. Enjoy (Learning Stage): Pattern 25, we are absolutely flying through all of these patterns. Let's have a look. Most people enjoy watching television. Look at the word enjoy and look at the word watching. What's the pattern? Correct. We've got Enjoy and then we've got verb, ING. So this is the pattern guys. Enjoy plus bin G. Let's have a look at some more examples. Do you enjoy going to the beach? She enjoys having dinner with her friends. Enjoy plus verbi and G. What do you enjoy doing on the weekend? Enjoy VerbinG. The kids really enjoy playing games, don't they? Now, with this pattern, we can use it in the positive. Most people enjoy watching television. We can use it in the negative. Most people do not enjoy watching television, and we can use it in the question. Do you enjoy going to the beach? This is a very simple pattern, but a very important one. A lot of students say things like most people enjoy watch television, but this is incorrect. Another common mistake that you'll learn about later on is that some students say things like, most people enjoy to watching television. This is also incorrect, and you should know why. Why? What comes after two? Do we use verb one, two or three? Correct. Two plus verb one. But we will talk about that common mistake later in the course. There are no exceptions that I can think of for this rule, guys. If you use the word enjoy, use a verb ING. He enjoys boxing. They enjoy reading. I enjoy working out. Enjoy plus verb ING. 88. Enjoy (Brain Training Stage): All right, let's train your brain to remember this pattern. Instructions, repeat after me. Enjoy doing. Enjoy eating. Enjoy watching. Enjoy walking. Enjoy running. Enjoy going. Enjoy entering. Enjoy spending. Enjoy catching. Enjoy learning. Enjoy playing. Enjoy making, enjoy studying, enjoy using. Enjoy creating. Enjoy editing. Enjoy surfing. Enjoy sitting, enjoy looking, enjoy searching. So all of these examples, guys, look what they have. They have a verb ING, eating, walking, creating, playing. One more time. Enjoy doing. Enjoy eating. Enjoy watching. Enjoy walking. Enjoy running. Enjoy going. Enjoy entering. Enjoy spending. Enjoy catching. Enjoy learning. Enjoy playing. Enjoy making. Enjoy studying, enjoy using, enjoy creating, enjoy editing, enjoy surfing, enjoy sitting. Enjoy looking, enjoy searching. So just remember guys, enjoy plus erbiNG a very, very simple yet important pattern. 89. Enjoy (Mastery Stage): Okay. Let's master the pattern. Instructions, choose the correct answer for each sentence which has the correct form of the verb. Number one, do you know what he enjoys on the weekend? Do Ding De Di. Correct answer is C, doing because we've got Enjoy, so we need verbi in G. Repeat after me. Do you know what he enjoys doing on the weekend? Number two, the vast majority of people enjoy delicious food. Eating, eat, eaten, et. Correct answer is a eating because we've got enjoy. So again, we need verb ING. Repeat after me, guys, the vast majority of people enjoy eating. Delicious food. Number three, she enjoys around doing nothing. Sit sits, sitting, sat. Correct answer is, of course, B, sitting, enjoy plus Verb and G. Repeat after me, she enjoys sitting around, doing nothing. For the kids do not enjoy their homework. Finish, finish to finish or finishing. Correct answer is, of course, D guys, again, enjoy plus verb ING. Repeat after me. The kids do not enjoy finishing their homework. Number five, my dog enjoys outside sleeping, sleep, slept, sleep. Correct answer is A, sleeping enjoys sleeping, enjoys plus verb I N G. Repeat after me. My dog enjoys sleeping outside. I 90. Enjoy (Listening Stage): It's that time again. Let's see if you know which sentences are correct and not correct. Instructions. Listen to the sentence and decide whether the sentence is correct or incorrect and think about why. Number one, he enjoys driven fast cars. He enjoys driven fast cars. This is 100% incorrect guys because we've got enjoy, but we don't have verb ING. To fix this, we need to say he enjoys driving fast cars. Number two, we enjoy cook dinner together at night. We enjoy cook dinner together at night. This is also incorrect because we've got Enjoy plus verb one. This is not following the pattern. To fix this, we need to say we enjoy cooking dinner together at night. Number three, John and his friend enjoy. Go to the gym. John and his friend enjoy. Go to the gym. Again, this is, of course, not correct because we've got enjoy plus verb one. We need joy plus verb ING. To correct this, we can say, John and his friend enjoy going to the gym. Number four, the girls enjoy going to dance class. The girls enjoy going to dance class. This looks good to me, guys. We've got Enjoy plus verbi NG. Number five, last one. The kids enjoy watching game shows on TV. The kids enjoy watching game shows on TV. This is correct, guys. We've got Enjoy plus verb ING. The kids enjoy watching game shows on TV. Alright, that's the end of another pattern, guys. Hope you enjoyed that one I see you in the next pattern. 91. Like (Learning Stage): Okay, this is pattern number 26. Let's have a look. Do you like learning English? What is the pattern here? We've got L, and then what verb have we got? Correct. We've got a verb N G. So that's the pattern, L plus verb N G. Do you like learning English? Let's have a look at some more examples. John and his sister like playing games, like, plus erbigi. He likes eating vegetarian food. Like plus erbijiV simple, right? The girls like cooking and baking. Same again, L plus erbigi cooking and baking. They do not like listening to rock music. Same again, plus verb ING. Just remember guys, if you're talking about something you like, you normally need to use a verb ING. But a lot of students will say things like, do you learn English? This is incorrect because it's not following the pattern. The pattern of English is like plus verb ING. Now, there's one little thing you need to think about. It's not really an exception, but it's something that you should know. You can say like plus two plus verb one. Instead of saying something like, the girls like cooking and baking. You could say the girls like to cook and bake. This is fine. This is following the first pattern that we learned about in this course, which was two plus verb one. So please be aware, guys, that you can say, I like to go to the beach. You can say he does not like to cook. That's fine. However, if you don't have two, you need to say verb ING. So if you did not have this two here, you would need to say, I like going to the beach. If you did not have this two here, you need to say he does not like cooking. However, if you do have a two guys, you can use verb one because you're following the first pattern of this course, which is two plus verb one. However, if you don't have a two guys like plus verb ING, very simple, very easy pattern. 92. Like (Brain Training Stage): Alright, let's train your brain to remember the pattern. Instructions, repeat after me. Like going, like eating, like cooking, like wanting, doesn't like flying, doesn't like being, doesn't like faking, likes sitting, likes walking, likes exercising. Like listening, like cleaning, likes playing, likes sleeping, doesn't like kicking, doesn't like doing, doesn't like using, like driving, likes drinking, likes learning. So look at all of these examples here, guys. We have the verb ING, like listening, like sleeping, likes drinking. You might be wondering why does this like have no S and T like does have an S? Well, it depends on what subject you're using. If you wanted to say they, we wouldn't use an S with like, we would say they like listening. However, if you were going to use a singular subject like He, you would say he likes playing. Some of the words I've put an S on just to get you to practice saying S and some of them I've put an S on to practice not saying S. Let's do that one more time guys, real quick, like going. Like eating, like cooking, like wanting, doesn't like flying, doesn't like being, doesn't like faking, likes sitting, likes walking, likes exercising. Like listening, like cleaning, likes playing, likes sleeping, doesn't like kicking, doesn't like doing, doesn't like using, like driving, likes drinking, likes learning. So remember, guys, if you have like, you need verb A Ngi. 93. Like (Mastery Stage): It's that time again. Let's master the language instructions, choose the correct answer for each sentence which has the correct form of the verb. Number one, my brother likes languages in his spare time. Learning, learn, learn, learns. The answer is, of course, A, my brother likes learning languages in his spare time. L plus Verb G. Repeat after me, guys, my brother likes learning languages in his spare time. Two, do you like out on the weekend? Go, gone, went going. Do you like going out on the weekend? Like plus verb ING? Repeat after me, guys, do you like going out on the weekend? Number three, Fred and Paul like at night, driven, drove, driving, drive. Fred and Paul like driving at night. L plus verbi NG, very simple. You don't have to think about it, like plus verbi NG. Repeat after me, Fred and Paul like driving at night. For the women like after they finish work, exercising exercises exercised or exercise. Correct answer is, of course, A, exercising, L plus verbingi. Repeat after me. The women like exercising after they finish work. And last one, guys, number five, most people like to music. Listening, listen, listen, or listens. Yes, you're 100% right. Correct answer is A, like plus verbingi like listening. Repeat after me, guys. Most people like listening to music. Oh 94. Like (Listening Stage): Listening, listening stage, your instructions. Listen to the sentence and decide whether the sentence is correct or incorrect and think about why. Number one, a lot of younger people like use social media. A lot of younger people like use social media. This is not correct guys because we've got like, but we don't have verbi Ng, to fix this, we need to say, a lot of younger people like using or like to use social media. Number two, he likes watch horror movies in his spare time. He likes watch horror movies in his spare time. This is also not correct, guys, because we've got L plus verb one. To fix this, we need to say he likes watching or likes to watch horror movies in his spare time. Number three, you don't like eating sushi, do you? You don't like eating sushi, do you? This is correct, guys. We've got plus Verbinji. You don't like eating sushi, do you? Four. Does he like learning about chemistry? Does he like learning about chemistry? This is correct, guys. We've got like plus verb ING. Last one, number five, Mary doesn't like getting up early. Mary doesn't like getting up early. This is fine, guys. We've got like, plus we've got verb ING. Okay, guys, that's another pattern that we finished. Hope you enjoyed that one. Very simple one, but very important L plus verb ING. Don't forget it. 95. A/An (Learning Stage): All right, Pattern 27. In this pattern, we're going to look at an article. Let's have a look. Do you have a dog? What's the pattern here? We've got a, and then we've got dog. Now, a talks about how many things, one or more than one. Correct. Just one. Now, dog here. Is it countable? Can we count dogs? Can we say one dog, two dogs, three dogs? Yes, we can. Does dog have an S? No. So that is the pattern for this lesson, guys, A or plus a countable noun with no S. So we've got a we've got a noun that we can count one dog, two dogs, three dogs. However, we don't have an S here. Why? Because talks about just one. Correct. Let's have a look at some more examples. I went to buy a computer. So we've got A, we've got a countable noun, one computer, two computers, three computers. However, we don't have an S. Okay? I went to buy a computer. Some students like to say things like computers, but this is incorrect because is talking about just one thing. Next one, he doesn't have a brother. Same thing. We've got A plus accountable noun, one brother, two brothers, three brothers, with no S. Do they have a house? Same thing. Have you bought a new tie yet? A tie is something you can count, and we don't have an S. This is following the pattern. This is a very simple pattern, guys, and it's very important. If you have, you need to use it with a countable noun with no S. You can't say are dogs. You cannot say brothers. No, this is incorrect. If you say, no. Now there are no exceptions I can think of guys. So remember, if you're talking about one thing, say A or N, use accountable noun and don't use S. Don't say laptops. No no, you need to say laptop. 96. A/An (Brain Training Stage): It's time to put this pattern into your brain. Let's go. Instructions repeat after me, a cat, an egg, a daughter, a nice man, a friendly lady, a speaker, a car, a book, an office, a big hamburger. An empty shed, a couch, a chair, a pen, an air conditioner, an old lead, a brave leader. Cucumber, a carrot, a bottle of water. Now note here with this last one, water. Can you count water? No, you can't. However, can you count bottles? Yes, you can. So this is following the pattern. We're seeing A, countable noun with no S. A, bottle, no S. Okay, one more time, guys, let's repeat that. A cat, an egg, a daughter. A nice man, a friendly lady, a speaker. A car, a book, an office, a big hamburger, an empty shed, a couch, a chair, a pen, an air conditioner, an old lead, a brave leader, a cucumber, a carrot, a bottle of water. Now, also, please note here that I've put in some adjectives before the nouns as well. That's fine. The rule is still the same. So for example, we've still got A plus lady, one lady, two ladies. So the rule is still the same, guys, if you have an adjective or if you don't have an adjective, you still need to follow this rule, A or N plus accountable noun with no S. 97. A/An (Mastery Stage): Okay, let's master the language. Instructions. Choose the correct answer for each sentence, which has the correct form of the verb. Number one, could you get me a Milk, Milk, bottle of milk, bottles of milk. Correct answer is bottle of milk. Bottle is a countable noun, and it's only one. There's no S. However, milk is uncountable, so we cannot use milk. Repeat after me. Could you get me a bottle of milk? Number two, he wants A chocolates, bar of chocolates, chocolate bars. Chocolate. Correct answer is chocolate. Chocolate is countable, and there's no S. Repeat after me, he wants a chocolate. Next one, he has A and two mobile phones, Laptop, TVs, laptops, furniture. He has a laptop and two mobile phones. We say laptop because laptop is countable and there's no S. Okay? Furniture is uncountable, so this cannot be the answer. Repeat after me. He has a laptop and two mobile phones. Number four, I could not get A at the shopping mall. Parks, park, trolleys, sugar. Correct, guys. Answer is Park. Park is countable, but there's no S. Sugar is uncountable, so we can't use sugar. Repeat after me, I could not get a park at the shopping mall. Last one, number five, don't buy a new just yet. Shirt trousers, shirts or trouser. Correct answer is shirt, guys, don't buy a new shirt just yet. Shirt is countable, and there's no S. Repeat after me. Don't buy a new shirt just yet. 98. A/An (Listening Stage): Istening stage, instructions. Listen to the sentence and decide whether the sentence is correct or incorrect and think about why. Number one, did you buy a new pair of shoes? Did you buy a new pair of shoes? This is 100% correct, guys, because we've got A with accountable noun with no S. Did you buy a new pair of shoes? Two, John and Mary bought a new houses together. John and Mary bought a new houses together. Not correct, guys, because we've got A with a plural noun with S. So this is not correct. To fix this, we need to say John and Mary bought a new house together. Three, can you get me a bread from the shops? Can you get me a bread from the shops? This is not correct, guys, because bread is uncountable. So we can't use A with an uncountable noun. To fix this, we could say, Can you get me some bread from the shop? Or can you get me a loaf of bread from the shop? Because a loaf is a singular noun and it is countable. Number four, I have a sand in my hands. I have a sand in my hands. This is not correct guys because sand is not countable. We cannot say A plus uncountable noun. To fix this, we need to say I have some sand in my hands. Last one, number five. There is a bottle of water on the table. There is a bottle of water on the table. This is 100% fine, guys. We've got plus a countable noun with no S. There is a bottle of water on the table. Okay, I hope you enjoyed that one, guys. It's a very important one. A plus A countable noun with no S. So, for example, a dog. Yes. Dogs? No. 99. Some/Any (Learning Stage): All right, guys, this is pattern number 28. Let's have a look. Give me some water, please. We've got some, and then we've got water. Water, what type of noun is it? Correct. It's uncountable. Very nice. Next one, there are some dogs outside on the road. S plus dogs. What type of noun is dogs? Correct. Dogs is a plural noun with S. We've got that S there. What's the pattern? S plus uncountable noun, plus plural noun with. Correct. Now we can also use this pattern with N as well, and we'll have a look at some examples in a second. The pattern is sum or N plus an uncountable noun or a plural noun. Let's have a look at some more examples. He has some money in his wallet. So money is uncountable. We can't count money, so we can use it with sum, S plus uncountable. Next one, some of my colleagues just walked past. Colleagues, can we count colleagues? Yes, we can. Does it have an S? Yes, it does. So S plus a plural noun with S. And last one, guys, do you have any apples at home? A plus apples. Apples, what type of noun is it? Correct. It's a plural noun and it's got the S. We can say any plus plural noun. Now, exceptions, there's one main exception, guys, you need to think about. Sometimes we can use s plus a singular countable noun. Let me give you an example. So dog just bit me. We've got sum and then we've got a countable noun with no S. I just saw some kid steal something. Kid is countable, but there's no S. This is okay. This is correct. However, most of the time when you use s or any, you'll use an uncountable noun or a plural. Now, when you say some dog, just bit me or some kid. This is talking about, or we're using this to show that we are talking about something or somebody, but we don't have any details about it or that person. So if we say some dog, we don't really have any details about it. We don't really know much about that dog. If we say some kid, we don't really know much about that kid. Again, this is not a grammar course, but I just want to quickly tell you the very basic meaning of if we say some kid or some dog. But just remember guys, normally, some or any plus an uncountable noun or a plural noun. However, sometimes you can say some plus a singular countable noun, some dog if you're talking about something, but you don't really have any details or information about that thing or about that person. 100. Some/Any (Brain Training Stage): All right, guys, let's train your brain again. Here we go. Instructions, repeat after me. So water. Some dogs, any sugar, A chairs, some furniture. So speakers. An information. Any laptops, some coffee, some cups. Any advice? Any toothbrushes, some tea, some kitchens, any sand. Any buildings, some air. Some windows. Any pollution. Any apples. Now note here, water, sugar, furniture, information, coffee, advice, tea, sand, air, and pollution. These are all uncountable nouns. Now, also another thing to note, when we say some very, very quickly, we normally don't say some, we say some. So let's do that again, and I'll say some much faster. So water. Some dogs. Any sugar? Any chairs? So furniture, some speakers. Any information? Any laptops, some coffee, some cups, any advice? Any toothbrushes, some tea. Some kitchens, A sand? Any buildings? So air. So windows, any pollution? Any apples. Just remember guys, Sam any plus an uncountable noun or a plural noun. 101. Some/Any (Mastery Stage): Okay, let's master the language, or instructions, choose the correct answer for each sentence which has the correct form of the verb. Now, please note in this stage, we're only using the rule s plus uncountable noun or plural noun. We're not talking about that exception we talked about where we can say s plus a singular noun. We're not talking about that in this mastery stage. Number one, could you give me some advice advices or advisers Correct answer is advice. Advice is an uncountable noun, so we can use it with sum. It follows the pattern. Repeat after me. Could you give me some advice? Number two, please give me some apples, furnitures, informations, airs. Correct answer is, A, guys, please give me some apples. We can say sum plus a plural noun with an S. Repeat after me. Please give me some apples. Number three, most people didn't bring anyone, money, shirt or hat. Correct answer is, of course, money, N plus an uncountable noun. We cannot use N plus a plural noun with no S, so we can't say any shirt or any hat. This is not correct. Repeat after me, most people didn't bring any money. Number four, some of the did not pass the test student applicant, employee students. Correct answer is, of course, students. We use some with a plural noun with an S. We cannot use some a plural noun with no S unless it's the exception, but we're not talking about that in the mastery stage. Repeat after me, some of the students did not pass the test. Next one, are there any in the fridge? Sugar, apples, water, juice. The correct answer has to be B apples because we use N with a plural noun with S. We can use it with an uncountable noun like sugar or water or juice. However, look, we've got R. And when we use R, we need to have a plural. Repeat after me. Are there any apples in the fridge? 102. Some/Any (Listening Stage): Okay, let's see if you know which sentences are correct and incorrect. Instructions. Listen to the sentence and decide whether the sentence is correct or incorrect and think about why. Number one, he has some information to share with us. He has some information to share with us. This is fine, guys. We can use some plus an uncountable noun. That's no problem. He has some information to share with us. Number two, I want to buy some new furnitures. I want to buy some new furnitures. This is not correct because we cannot use S with an uncountable noun with S. We cannot say furnitures. This is not correct because uncountable nouns cannot have S. To fix this, we need to say, I want to buy some new furniture, no S. Three, do those shops have any gadget for sale? Do those shops have any gadget for sale? This is not correct, guys, because we've got N, so we need to have a plural noun with S. But here we don't have an S. So to fix this, we need to say, do those shops have any gadgets for sale? Number four, there is some water in the fridge. There is some water in the fridge. This is 100% fine, guys, some plus uncountable noun. That is correct. That is following the pattern. Number five, last one, is there any sugar in the cupboard? Is there any sugar in the cupboard? This is also fine guys. We've got N plus an uncountable noun. We're following the pattern. So this is 100% correct. Alright, guys, I hope you enjoyed that pattern, and I hope you enjoyed seeing if you knew which sentences were correct and incorrect. I'll see you in the next pattern. 103. The (Learning Stage): All right, guys, welcome back to another pattern. This is pattern 29. Let's have a look right now. Did you get the book? What's the pattern here? We've got the, and then we've got book. What type of noun is book countable or uncountable? Correct. It's countable. Does it have S? No. So we can use the with accountable noun with no S. Next one, he's keeping the information a secret. So same again, we've got the and we've got a noun. Information is it countable or uncountable? Correct. Uncountable. I want to buy the shirts. So we've got the and shirts. Shirts. Is it countable or uncountable? Correct. Is there an S? Yes, there is. So what's the rule here? Correct. We can use the with any noun. Countable noun with S, countable noun with no S or a uncountable noun. All right, let's have a look at some more examples. The furniture is very beautiful. So we've got the and furniture. Furniture is an uncountable noun. Next one, John and Paul are the people I want on my team. Could you give me the instrument? So instrument is a countable noun because we can say one instrument, two instruments. So just remember, guys, the can be used with any noun, countable noun with S, countable noun with no S, and an uncountable noun. Now, there are no exceptions to the rule guys. So whenever you're using the, just know that you can use any noun. 104. The (Brain Training Stage): All right, it's time to practice the pattern. Let's go. Instructions repeat after me, the man, the woman, the books, the information, the furniture, the notebook, the cars, the people, the movies, the water. The tea, the sugar, the bottles, the plates, the juice, the apples, the fruit, the rain, the women, the men. So you can see here, guys, again, we've got man, which is countable with the S. We've got information, which is uncountable, and we've got plates which is countable with S. So with any noun. Let's do that one more time very quickly, the man. The woman the books, the information, the furniture, the notebook, the cars, the people, the movies, the water, the tea, the sugar, the bottles, the plates, the juice, the apples, the fruit, the rain, the women, the men. Very simple pattern, guys, the plus any noun. Because this pattern is so simple, guys, we're not going to do the mastery or the listening stages, so I'll see you in the next pattern. 105. By (Learning Stage): All right, we're up to pattern number 30. We've almost finished all of the patterns in this course. So let's have a look. Can I pay by check? What is the pattern here? We've got Bi and then we've got check. What is a check? Correct? It's a noun, it's a thing. So that is the pattern. If you have B, you need a noun, a fing or a Gernd. A Gand is a verb ING. For example, running, cooking, sleeping. A Gand is a verb ING. So let's have a look at some more examples. I want to be examined by the doctor. We've got B and then we've got doctor. Doctor is a noun. It was painted by him, B plus. Him is a thing. It's a noun. He'll meet you by the post office. We've got B and then we've got post office, which is a noun, it is a thing. They would like to enter the country by air. By noun, air is a noun. Now just quickly guys, this sentence here if we say something like he'll meet you by the post office, by the post office means next to the post office. So just remember, guys, B plus a noun, buy plus a thing. There are no exceptions that I can think of. So if you're using Bye guys, you normally need a noun, a thing, or a Gernd. 106. By (Brain Training Stage): Okay, we are back to the brain training stage. Let's go. Your instructions repeat after me. By the 31st. By plane. By me. By you. By the shop, by a doctor, by John Smith, by emailing, by car, by law. By a man, by the women, by cart, by standard post by scanning, by 10 meters, by mistake, by a nurse, by the resident, by running. So you can see here, guys, all of these phrases, B has been used with a thing. So, for example, 31st, it's a thing, it's a date. Women women is a noun. Scanning, scanning is a Gernd. It's a verb by NG. One more time. By the 31st. By plane, by me, by you, by the shop, by a doctor, by John Smith, by emailing, by car, by law, by a man by the women, by cart, by standard post, by scanning, by 10 meters, by mistake, by a nurse, by the resident, by running. So just remember, guys, B plus noun, very, very simple. And same with the last pattern guys, this one's very, very simple. So I don't think we need to do the listening and the mastery stage, so I'll see you in the next pattern. 107. Possessive Adj (Learning Stage): Alright, guys, welcome back. This is pattern number 31. We're going to start this pattern a little bit differently from normal. I'm going to show you some words, and I want you to tell me what they are. Let's have a look. My You, it's their hour. What are these words? What are they? Correct. They are called possessive adjectives. You need to know this because this pattern is about possessive adjectives. Let's have a look at the example. It's his bike. We've got a possessive adjective, his. And then what if we got after the possessive adjective? Is it a verb or a noun? Correct. It is a noun. So this is the pattern, guys. If you have a possessive adjective, you need to have a noun afterwards. So like with the example right here, H is a possessive adjective and bike is a noun. Let's have a look at some more examples. Have you seen her new car? Same again, her possessive adjective, car is a noun. Next one, that is my book, My possessive adjective book noun. Isn't that your house? Same again. They parked their new car on the top floor. Their possessive adjective car noun. Now note here that we have an adjective before the noun in this sentence, and that's fine. You could use ten adjectives if you wanted to. The most important thing is, if you have a possessive adjective, you need a noun after it. Very, very important. So if you just say that is my, this sentence doesn't make sense. And if you say this to a native speaker, he will be waiting for you to say the noun, because all native speakers know this pattern. When you use a possessive adjective, you need to have a noun, you need to have a thing after it. Now, there are no exceptions that I can think of, guys. So if you're using a possessive adjective, you need a noun after it. For example, my dog, their cat, are course. 108. Possessive Adj (Brain Training Stage): All right, let's get some practice with this pattern. Instructions, repeat after me. My speaker, his phone, your car, her spot, their house, our class, my table, his pen, your room, her food. Their cable, our shop, my pillow, his time, your way, her boyfriend, their plant, our solution, my meeting, his group. So just remember, guys, possessive adjective plus a thing. One more time very quick, my speaker, his phone, your car. Her spot, their house, our class, my table, his pen, your room, her food, their cable, our shop, my pillow, his time, your way, her boyfriend, their plant, our solution, my meeting, his group. So just remember, guys, possessive adjective plus noun. Now, I just want to quickly tell you guys that the word is also a possessive pronoun. That means sometimes with the word H, you don't need to use a word after his. For example, that house is his so we don't need to say anything after his because in this sentence, his is a possessive pronoun, and we've already got the thing before. We said that house is his. So we've already said the thing before, so we don't need anything after. So just remember, guys, sometimes with his, you don't need anything after it because his, yes, it's a possessive adjective, but it's also a possessive pronoun. 109. Possessive Adj (Listening Stage): Alright, guys, this is the listening stage. We're not going to do the mastery section for this pattern. So your instructions are the same as normal. Listen to the sentence and decide whether the sentence is correct or incorrect and think about why. Number one, he is sitting over there with his daughter. He is sitting over there with his daughter. This is 100% correct, guys, because we've got a possessive adjective plus a noun, plus a thing. Number two, have you been to his new restaurant yet? Have you been to his new restaurant yet? This is 100% fine, guys, because we've got his plus restaurant. His is a possessive adjective and restaurant is a noun. Number three, it's my it's M. This is 100% not correct, guys, because we need to say my what? We don't know what the speaker is talking about. So you need to say it's my ex, it's my cat, it's my laptop, whatever, or you could say it's mine. If you say it's mine, that's correct. You don't need anything else. Number four, it's H. It's his. This is 100% correct, guys, because remember, I told you that you can say H and you don't need to say anything after it, because in this case, his is a possessive pronoun, not a possessive adjective. However, if you want, you could say something after it. You could say it is his house. It is his bed. You could, if you want, but you don't have to. Number five, whose is it? It's there. Whose is it? It's there. This is not correct, guys because we've got a possessive adjective, but we don't have a noun after it. So to fix it, we need to say it's their X, so it's their job, it's their house, whatever. Or we could say it's theirs. If we say it's theirs with an S, that's 100% fine. We don't need to have a noun after it because theirs is a possessive pronoun. So just remember, if you have there, you need to have a noun after it. If you have theirs, you don't need to have a noun after it. Alright, guys, I hope you enjoyed that one. Just remember, if you have a possessive adjective, you need to have a noun after it. Very simple but very important. 110. Every (Learning Stage): All right, guys, we're back with another pattern. This is Pattern 32. Yes, it is. So let's have a look right now. Every student in the class loves eating pizza. What's the pattern here? We've got every. We've got student. What type of noun is student? Singular noun. Very nice. There's no S. And what verb have we got? Correct. We've got verb one with S. So that's the pattern guys. If you say every plus a singular noun with no S, you need to use verb one with an S. And this is only for positive sentences. Let's have a look at some more examples so you can see what I mean. Everybody wants to have a better life. So we've got everybody, which is considered as a singular noun, and then we have to have verb one with S. Everybody wants to have a better life. A very common mistake, guys, is when students say, everybody wants to have a better life with no S, but that's incorrect. You need that S. Next one, everyone in the world needs to eat. Everyone is also considered a singular noun. When we use it with verb one, we need to use S in the positive. Next one, every employee in this company works hard. Every plus employee plus verb one with S. Last one, every iPhone performs well. So we've got every singular noun plus a verb one with S. So please remember, guys, very, very important. If you have every plus a singular noun and you're using verb one, it must have an S. Also, please remember everybody and every one, these words are considered singular nouns. So when you use them, if you need to use a verb one, you need to have S, very important. There's no exceptions I can think of, guys. So just remember this rule, very, very important, very simple, but very important, especially if you want to take your English to that next level and start speaking more like a native speaker. 111. Every (Brain Training Stage): Alright, we are back to the brain training stage. Once again, instructions repeat after me. Everybody wants. Everyone likes. Every cat eats. Every boy considers. Every woman thinks. Everyone drinks. Every mother feels. Every dad gives, everybody needs, every musician plays. Every table looks, every city produces, every employee requires, every driver wears, every dog barks. Every cat sleeps. Everyone trains, Everybody sends, every player greets. So just remember, guys, if you have every or everybody or every one and you're using a verb one, it must have S. One more time to help you really remember this pattern. Everybody wants. Everyone likes. Every cat eats. Every boy considers, every woman thinks, everyone drinks. Every mother feels, every dad gives. Everybody needs, every musician plays. Every table looks, every city produces. Every employee requires, every driver wears, every dog barks, every cat sleeps, everyone trains, everybody sends, every player greets. Now also note here guys that when we use a noun, they're all singular nouns with no S, every cat, not every cat's every dog, not every dog's. 112. Every (Mastery Stage): Alright, guys, it's time to master the language, your instructions. Choose the correct answer for each sentence which has the correct form of the verb. Number one, every corporation strong leaders requires requiring to require require. And of course, A is the correct answer. Every corporation requires strong leaders because we've got every. Then we've got a singular noun, so, guys, we need that verb one with S. Repeat after me, every corporation requires strong leaders. Number two, every cat a nice place to sleep. Need to need needs kneading. Every cat needs a nice place to sleep. Of course, it is C because we've got every singular noun and we've got a verb one, so the verb one needs S. Repeat after me, guys. Every cat needs a nice place to sleep. Number three, everybody on the team play to play. Playing plays very well. Please. The answer is D. Everybody is considered a singular noun. So if we use verb one, we need verb one to have S. Repeat after me, everybody on the team plays very well. Four, everyone making themselves better likes to like, like or liking. The answer is, of course, A likes. Again, everyone is considered singular. So if we use a verb one, we need to use S. Repeat after me, everyone likes making themselves better. Last one, number five, every builder, how to do that task. No, known to know or knows. Very simple, guys, of course, the answer is D, nos. Repeat after me. Every builder knows how to do that task. 113. Every (Listening Stage): We're back to the listening stage. Instructions. Listen to the sentence and decide whether the sentence is correct or incorrect and think about why. Number one, every young person use social media. Every young person use social media. This is, of course, incorrect guys because we've got every, and with the verb one, we don't have an S. So to correct this, we need to say every young person uses social media. Number two, every chef in the restaurant enjoys their job. Every chef in the restaurant enjoys their job. This is 100% correct, guys, because we've got every we've got a singular noun, and we've got verb one with S. Number three, every young boy wants to be an astronaut. Every young boy wants to be an astronaut. This is 100% fine, guys. We've got every. We've got a singular noun. We've got verb one with S. Four, everybody in the building need to exit now. Everybody in the building need to exit now. This is not correct guys because we've got everybody, which is considered singular. So if we have verb one, we need to have that S. Everybody in the building needs to exit right now. Number five, last one. Every police officer feel fear sometimes. Every police officer feel fear sometimes. This is, of course, not correct, guys. We've got every plus a singular noun. We've got verb one, but we don't have that S. So to fix this, we need to say every police officer feels fear sometimes. Alright, guys, that's the end of another pattern, a very important one. Just remember everybody and every one are considered singular. And if you have every plus a singular noun and you use verb one, you need to use that S. 114. With (Learning Stage): All right guys, we're up to pattern number 33. Let's have a look. Did you go with your sister? What's the pattern here? We've got W, and what have we got after W? Correct. We've got a noun. We've got a thing. That is the pattern, guys. If you have W, you need to use it with a thing or a noun. Next one, I'm flying with Thai Airways. Thai Airways is a company. It's a thing. It's a noun. She's a woman with brown eyes. We've got W, and we've got eyes, and of course, eyes are a thing. They're a noun. The bucket is filled with water, W plus water. Water is a noun, pretty simple, right? There's something wrong with the car. We've got with, and then we've got car. Car is a thing. So just remember, guys, if you have with, you need a thing or a noun. There's no exceptions I can think of, guys. So if you're using the word with, you need to use it with a thing or with a noun. 115. With (Brain Training Stage): Alright, guys, let's put this pattern into your brain. Instructions repeat after me with me, with the car, with the plane, with his progress with her, with you, with his girlfriend, with the other people, with them. With the employee, with action, with feeling, with remorse, with nice people, with my mom, with his father, with a kid, with a man, with women, and more time with me, with the car, with the plane, with his progress with her, with you. With his girlfriend, with the other people, with them with the employee, with action, with feeling, with remorse, with nice people, with my mom, with his father, with a kid, with a man with women. So just remember, guys, with plus thing. Now, we're not going to do the mastery or the listening stages because this pattern is very, very simple with plus thing. 116. In (Learning Stage): Alright, guys, this is pattern number 34. We are almost at the end of the course now. We've almost looked at all of the patterns. Let's have a look at this one. Is your birthday in November? What's the pattern here? We've got in plus November. What's November? Correct. It's a month. That's the pattern, guys. Very, very simple. But a lot of students get this wrong. So don't you get it wrong. Let's have a look at some more examples. Are you going in March or December? Again, we've got in and then we've got a month. The weather is nice in May. So we've got in and then we've got a month. Have you ever been there in January? Same again. The course will be released in February. Same again, guys, I plus month. Now, there are some exceptions to talk about. The first one is we don't use in if we are talking about a date. So, for example, first or second, let me show you what I mean. His birthday is on March 31. We've got a date here, because we've got a date, guys, we need to use on on March 31. However, if we didn't have 31st, we would say in. We would say his birthday is in March. That's fine. But because we've got a date, guys, we need to use on. Another example, they leave on December 12. Same again. We've got that date, so we need to use on on December 12. Again, if we didn't have the date, we could say they leave in December. That's fine because normally in plus month. Now, there's one more example. You might hear this phrase as well at end or beginning of month. So let me show you what I mean. I start work at the end of January. We wouldn't say I start work in the end of January. No, that's not correct. We would say at. Next one, he will leave at the beginning of July. So just remember if you've got something like end of the month, beginning of the month, then we need to say at. So they are the two main exceptions, guys. But normally we say in month. However, remember if we're talking about a date, 31st, tenth, first, you normally need to say on. And if you're talking about the end of the month, the beginning of the month, you normally need to say at. 117. In (Brain Training Stage): Alright, guys, let's put this pattern into your brain so you never forget it. Instructions repeat after me in January in February, in March, in April, in May, in June, in July, in August, in September, in October. In November, in December. On March 1, on December 2, on May 31, on April 12 on July 30, at the beginning of January, at the end of June. All right. Let's do that one more time, guys, in January in February, in March, in April, in May, in June in June, in July, in August, in September, in October, in November, in December. On March 1, on December 2, on May 31, on April 12, on July 30, at the beginning of January, at the end of June. So just remember, guys, normally in plus month, however, we need to use on if we're talking about a date, and if we're saying the beginning of the month or the end of the month, we say at the beginning or at the end. 118. In (Mastery Stage): Okay, now it's time to master the language, instructions. Choose the correct answer for each sentence which has the correct form of the verb. Number one, is your birthday in at or on June? Very simple one, guys, is your birthday in June following the basic pattern in plus months. Repeat after me. Is your birthday in June. Number two, all be there. March 31, in on at. Correct answer is, of course, on because we're talking about a date. Remember this is one of the exceptions. If we're talking about a date, we use on not in. Repeat after me, guys. I'll be there on March 31. Next one, number three, did you start work the beginning last month at of in of on of at in. Correct answer is at and of A. Remember, guys, when we're talking about the beginning of the month, we say at and we say of repeat after me. Did you start work at the beginning of last month? Number four, I'm moving there November in at on of Easy one, guys. This is, of course, A, following the basic pattern in plus months. Repeat after me. I'm moving there in November. Last one, guys, number five, I think her birthday is January in at of on. Same again, guys. Very easy following the pattern in plus months in January. Repeat after me. I think her birthday is in January. I 119. In (Listening Stage): All right. Now let's see if you know which sentences are correct and not correct. Instructions, listen to the sentence and decide whether the sentence is correct or incorrect and think about why. Number one, her birthday is on the end of November. Her birthday is on the end of November. This is incorrect guys. We need to say at the end of November. Remember, when we're talking about the beginning or the end, we say at. Number two, I'm going to finally quit my job in February. I'm going to finally quit my job in February. This is correct, guys. We're following the basic pattern in plus months in February. Number three, he's going back there on March 22. He's going back there on March 22. This is correct, guys. We've got the date, the 22nd, so we need to use on, not in four. There is a new position, and you can start on June. There is a new position, and you can start on June. This is, of course, not correct, guys. It's not following the basic pattern. We need to use in plus months. So to fix this, we need to say, there's a new position and you can start in June. Number five, last one, guys, you don't need to come to work in March 19. You don't need to come to work in March 19. This is, of course, not correct, guys, because we've got the date, so we need on. To fix this, we need to say, you don't need to come to work on March 19. All right, guys, hope you enjoyed that pattern as well. This is a pattern that a lot of students get wrong. A lot of students often say on June on March, but you know that's not correct. You know you need to say in March, in June in plus month. 120. On (Learning Stage): All right, guys, pattern number 35, let's have a look. I'm working on Monday. What's the pattern here? We've got on plus days, perfect. That is the pattern on plus day. Very, very simple. I don't really need to say much more than that. Let's have a look at some more examples. They arrived on Saturday on plus day. Can we meet on Wednesday? On plus day. The parents got back home on Sunday just before the start of the week. Same again, on plus day, last one, guys, are you available to do a shift on Friday? Same again, on plus day, very, very simple. Now, there are no exceptions, guys that I can think of. So if you're talking about a day, you need to say on on Wednesday on Thursday on Sunday. 121. On (Brain Training Stage): Alright, guys, let's train your brain to remember this pattern. Let's go. Instructions repeat after me on Monday on Tuesday, on Wednesday on Thursday, on Friday, on Saturday, on Sunday, on that day, on this day, on a day next week. On a good day, on a bad day, on the next day, on the following day, on my day, on his day, on another day, on a later day, on a day next week, and I've just realized these two here are the same, but that's okay. Now you'll never forget these two. All right, let's repeat that one more time guys on Monday, on Tuesday, on Wednesday, on Thursday, on Friday, on Saturday, on Sunday, on that day, on this day, on a day next week. On a good day, on a bad day, on the next day, on the following day, on my day, on his day, on another day, on a later day, on a day next week. Just remember, guys, on plus day. 122. On (Listening Stage): Okay, let's see if you know which sentences are correct and incorrect instructions. Listen to the sentence and decide whether the sentence is correct or incorrect and think about why. Number one, she was born in that day, five years ago. She was born in that day five years ago. This is not correct guys because we've got in plus a day. We need to use on. To correct this, we can say she was born on that day five years ago. Number two, would it be possible to meet at Tuesday? Would it be possible to meet at Tuesday? This is, of course, not correct guys. We need to say on following the pattern on plus day. Would it be possible to meet on Tuesday? Number three, the new employee is starting work on Monday. The new employee is starting work on Monday. This is, of course, 100% correct, guys. We're following the pattern on plus Day. Number four, the man is coming to fix the fridge on Thursday. The man is coming to fix the fridge on Thursday. This is, again, correct, guys. We've got on plus day, very, very simple. Number five, Are you available on Sunday, July 20? Are you available on Sunday, July 20? Again, this is fine, guys. We've got on plus day. Alright, guys, that's it. That's the end of all the patterns. I really hope you enjoyed that. Now, you know all of the basic patterns in English. So when you're writing, when you're speaking, you should know which words to use and which words not to use. You shouldn't have to guess. If you know patterns in English, you don't have to guess. You know that after two we use verb one. You know that after four, we use verb ING. It's very, very simple and you don't have to think about it. Now in the next part of the course, we're going to have a look at some common mistakes, so I'll see you there. 123. Common Mistake #1: Welcome to the common mistakes section of this course. In this section, I'm going to be showing you some of the most common mistakes that I see and hear with the patterns and rules of English. Now, some of the patterns that you'll see in this section, we have talked about. Some of the patterns we have not talked about. Now, if a pattern is hard for you and you're still getting it wrong, go back to the pattern in the course and repeat the pattern again, especially the brain training stage, because this will help you to remember the pattern and be able to use it correctly without thinking about it, because you should be able to use all of the patterns in this course automatically without thinking about it. This is one of the most important parts of being fluent in English. You need to be able to use the language without thinking about it. Alright, let's get started and have a look at our first common mistake. Okay, common mistake number one. I am work. What is the pattern here? We've got I, which is the subject. Then we've got A, the verb to B, and then we've got verb number one. This is not correct. We do not say verb to B plus verb one. I am work. He is study. No, this is not correct. What is the correct pattern? We talked about this at the very start of the course. The correct pattern is to B plus verb ING. Now, if you want to use verb one, you don't need to use the verb to B. You can just say subject plus verb one. So you can say, I work. That's fine. But you cannot say I am work. This is incorrect. You can also say I am working because this follows the basic pattern that we learned at the start of the course to be plus verb I and G. I am working. So remember, guys, subject plus to B plus verb one, I am work. He is study. This is not correct. Okay, now look at these three sentences. I am work. She is study now. They are work at McDonald's. All of these sentences are in correct. Please fix the sentences, please correct the sentences. Pause the video, and when you're ready, I'll show you the answers. Okay, let's have a look. I am working, very simple to B plus verb ING. She is studying. Same again, verb to B plus ING. And the last one, they are working. So verb to B plus verb ING. Very, very simple, right? Now, we can fix the sentences in a different way. We can remove the verb to B and just say I work. Subject plus verb one. That is fine. That is correct. We can say she studies. Now. Same again, we have to remove the verb to B. And last one, guys, we can say they work at McDonald's. We don't need that verb to B. So remember, do not say verb to B plus verb one. Now, the last thing we're going to do for this common mistake is do some very, very quick brain training. Repeat after me. I am eating. He is drinking. They're not doing. Was he driving? Were they feeling? The girls are running. One more time, I am eating. He is drinking. They're not doing. Was he driving? Were they feeling? The girls are running. So just remember, guys, verb to B plus verb ING. 124. Common Mistake #2: Common mistake number two, let's have a look. He like playing sport. What's wrong with this sentence, guys? Why is it wrong? Correct? Because we've got he, she or it, plus verb one, with no S, with no S. That's the important thing. So how do we fix this? We need to add S, right? So the correct pattern is he, she it, plus verb one with S. Now remember, this rule only applies if you're talking in the present. Okay? It's not talking about if you're making a sentence with the past tense or making a sentence with the future tense. So to fix this sentence, we need to simply add S. He likes playing sport. So remember, he, she or it, or a singular subject plus verb one with that S, it's very, very important. Okay, look at these three sentences. These sentences are all incorrect. I need more water. The man want to go to the beach. He play games every night. Pause the video, fix the sentences, and then I'll show you the answers. Okay, let's have a look. It needs more water. So I plus verb one plus S. The man wants to go to the beach. The man is singular, plus verb one plus S. And same guys, he plays games every night. He, she it, or a singular subject plus verb one plus S. Okay, let's quickly do some brain training to help you never to forget this pattern. Repeat after me, Mary enjoys. The kid wants. It walks. He practices. She writes, Brad kicks. One more time. Mary enjoys. The kid wants, I walks. He practices. She writes, Brad kicks. So remember, guys, he she it, singular subject verb one plus S. 125. Common Mistake #3: All right, common mistake number three, let's have a look. Most people enjoy to cook. What's the pattern here? We've got Enjoy. Two, verb one. This pattern is not correct, guys. We don't say enjoy two plus verb one. This is wrong. What is the correct pattern? You should remember this one. It is Enjoy plus verb ING. So to fix this sentence, guys, most people enjoy cooking. Remember, when you use the word enjoy, you need to use it with a verb ING. Very, very important if you want to sound like a native speaker. So these three sentences are incorrect. Would you say he enjoys to exercise? They enjoy to walk in the park. Jenny enjoys to learning languages, pause the video, fix the sentences, and then unpause it when you're ready to see the answers. Okay, let's have a look. These are the correct sentences. Would you say he enjoys exercising? Remove the two and add ING. They enjoy remove the two walking in the park. Jenny enjoys learning languages. Same again, guys, remove that two. We don't need that two. We just need to use the verb ING. Okay, let's quickly do some brain training before we finish this one. Repeat after me. Enjoy painting. Enjoys having enjoy training, enjoys teaching, enjoy making, enjoys gardening. One more time, enjoy painting, enjoys having enjoy training, enjoys teaching, enjoy making, and finally enjoys gardening. Just remember guys, if you have enjoy and you're using it with a verb, you need to use the verb ING. 126. Common Mistake #4: Okay, we're up to common mistake Number four. Let's get into it and have a look. The boy likes to going to the park. What's the pattern? We've got likes, two verb ING. So this pattern is incorrect, guys. Like two plus verb ING. This is wrong. How do we fix it? What's the correct pattern? Correct. We need to say like to verb number one. So to fix the sentence, guys, we simply remove that ING and say, the boy likes to go to the park, not going. Remember, like to verb one. Same again. We've got three incorrect sentences. They like to cooking. Does he like to dancing? John does not like to having. So pause the video, fix the sentences, and unpause it when you're ready to see the answers. Okay, these are the correct sentences. They like to cook together. Very simple. Remove that ING. Does he like to dance? Remove the ING. We don't need it. John does not like to have dinner late. Same again, guys. Just remove that ING. Like two plus verb one. No ING. Let's do some very quick brain training before we finish this one. Repeat after me. Like to play. Likes to lie. Like to watch likes to eat, like to drink, likes to meet. One more time. Like to play. Likes to lie, like to watch, likes to eat, like to drink, likes to meet. So just remember, guys, like two verb one. 127. Common Mistake #5: This is common mistake Number five. Let's have a look right now. The mistake is he wants, go to the park. What's wrong with this, guys? Why? What's the pattern here? We've got W, which is verb number one, very good and go, which is also verb number. One. So this pattern, guys, is wrong. Verb one plus verb one. This is not correct. To fix this, we need one simple word in between verb one and verb one. It is the word two. Verb one plus two plus verb one. This is the correct pattern. Now, there's one exception to this, and we talked about it in the last common mistake. That exception is joy. We do not say enjoy two verb one. We say enjoy plus erb ING. Correct. Well done. But for most other verbs, we just say verb one plus two plus verb one. So to fix this, we need to say he wants to go to the park. He wants to go, not he wants go. This is incorrect. Okay, same again. These three sentences are incorrect. They need get a new tire for their car. She hates treat animals like that. You plan go there next year. So pause the video, guys, and when you're ready, I'll show you the correct sentences. Alright, let's have a look. They need to get a new tire for their car. We've got verb number one, two, verb number one, very simple. She hates to treat animals like that. Same again, guys, verb one, two, verb one. You plan to go there. Next year, same again. Verb one, two verb one. Okay, let's do some quick brain training to finish off this lesson. Repeat after me. Les to drink. Wants to feel. Needs to buy plans to invest, loves to eat, start to receive. One more time, likes to drink, wants to feel, needs to buy plans to invest, loves to eat, start to receive. So remember, guys, verb one, two, verb one. 128. Common Mistake #6: All right guys, this is pattern number six. Let's go. Let's have a look. The incorrect sentence is, Fred is not teacher. What is the pattern here? We've got Fred subject, we've got I verb to B, and then we've got teacher, which is a noun. So that is the pattern. To fix this, we need to add one simple word. We need to add an article, subject to B, article plus noun. Now, this is not a grammar course, guys, so I'm not going to talk about when you need to use an article and when you don't need to use an article because sometimes this pattern is correct and sometimes you don't need an article. However, in this case, the pattern is not correct. We need to use that article. But please remember that sometimes guys, this pattern is correct and you don't need to use an article. But again, it's not a grammar course, so I'm not going to be talking about when to use an article and when not to use an article. To fix this sentence, guys, we need to say Fred is not a teacher. Very, very simple. Need to add in that article. Okay, same again. The incorrect sentences. I don't want to see doctor. Can you give me glass of water? I can see that trend is upwards. So pause the video, fix the sentences, and when you're ready, I'll show you the answers. Okay, let's have a look. The correct sentences, I don't want to see or the doctor. Can you give me or the glass of water? I can see that the trend is upwards. So in all of these sentences, guys, we must have an article. Yes, like I said before, some sentences like this don't need an article, but these ones do. So please remember that when you're using a noun, you need to think about if you need an article 0R not. You need to think about do you need AN or the. And to finish off the lesson, we'll very quickly do some brain training, repeat after me, a table. The fish. An egg, a place, the shop, an apple. One more time, a table, the fish, an egg, a place, the shop, an apple. 129. Common Mistake #7: Okay, guys, we are up to common mistake number seven already. Let's have a look. The incorrect sentence is they hungry. What's the pattern? We've got subject plus Adjective, correct. Guys, this is in correct. To fix this, we need to add in one simple word. It is the verb to B. So we need to say subject, plus to B plus adjective. Normally, guys, if you have an adjective, you need the verb to B. So to fix this, we simply need to add in R. They are hungry. If you say they hungry, this is wrong, and it makes you sound like you're not a native speaker because you haven't put in this very, very simple word, the verb to B. These three sentences are incorrect. The boys tired. After their match, my friend, cold, the man not very friendly. Pause the video, guys, fix the sentences, and when you're ready, I'll show you the answers. Okay, the correct sentences, the boys are or were. So is talking about present, W is the past. We could also say will be as well if we're talking about the future. So the boys were tired after their match. My friend I was cold. Same again is present was cold. And again, you could say will be cold in the future. And last one, the man is was not very friendly. So in all of these sentences, we've got an adjective friendly, cold, tired. So we need to have that verb to be very, very important, especially if you want to speak English like a native speaker and sound like a native speaker, you need to put in the verb to B. If you don't put in the verb to B, will native speakers understand you? Yes, of course they will. They will understand you, no problem. However, if you want to sound like a native speaker, you need to add in the verb to be very, very important. Okay, brain training to finish off this mistake, guys, repeat after me. I thirsty. I'm exhausted. A happy, was excited, we're pleased, will be great. Is thirsty, I'm exhausted, happy, was excited. We're pleased, we'll be great. So just remember, guys, if you have an adjective, you normally need the verb to be I A was were B. 130. Common Mistake #8: Alright, guys, this is common mistake number eight. Let's have a look. The incorrect sentence is he must to go home now. We've got must. Now, what type of verb is must? It's a very special type of verb. It's called a model. It is a model. Then we've got two, and then we've got verb number one, correct. So this pattern is not correct, guys. A modal verb plus two plus verb one. This is wrong. This is incorrect. To fix this, guys, it's very simple. We simply need to remove this two. So the correct pattern is modal plus verb one. Guys, when you use a modal verb, you don't need two. Now, if you don't know the modal verbs in English, that's okay. I'm going to show you on the next slide. So just wait 1 second. Now, to fix this sentence, we simply need to remove two. Guys, just say, he must go home now. So please remember when you're using models, you don't need two. You just need modal plus verb one. Now there are nine models. In English, they are should, C and would, must, will, can, shall may might. One more time should, C would must, we can shall may Mt. These verbs here, guys, you don't need to use them with two. So if you have should, don't say two. Should to go. No, this is wrong. If you have may, may to want, no, this is wrong. We don't need two with the modal verbs in English. Okay? No, two. Okay, these three sentences are incorrect. He may to go to the party. You would to help me, right? He can to cook well. Pause the video, fix the sentences, and when you're ready, I'll show you the correct sentences. Okay, here they are. It's very simple, guys, simply remove two. He may go to the party. Correct. You would help me, right? Correct. He can cook well. Correct. So remember, guys, models, no two. Some quick brain training to finish off, repeat after me. Co think. May provide must complete, should go, would accept, can swim. Could think, may provide, must complete, should go, would accept, can swim. So all of these could may must, should would can. They are models, and we don't have two. We just have modal plus verb one. 131. Common Mistake #9: All right, guys, we've almost finished. This is common mistake number nine. The incorrect sentence is they should driving slower. Should is a modal verb, very good. Driving is a verb. IN G. Perfect. So this pattern is incorrect, guys, Modal plus verb ING. This is wrong. This is not correct. How do we fix it? You should know because we talked about it in the last common mistake. To fix it, we just need to say modal plus verb one. Okay? Very, very simple. Modal plus verb one. They should drive slower. Very, very simple, guys. If you have a model, don't use verb ING. Okay, let's have a look at the incorrect sentences. Must you talking so fast? He would not attending the meeting. He can speak English very well. Pause the video guys, fix the sentences, and then I'll show you the correct ones. Alright, let's have a look. These are the correct sentences. Must you talk so fast? Very simple, guys, look, remove that ING. We don't need it. Modal plus verb one. He would not attend the meeting. No ING. He can speak English very well. Same again, no ING. This is a very common mistake that I often see and hear from my students. He can cooking. She can going. They can working. Guys, no, this is not right. When we have a model, we need verb one. 132. Common Mistake #10: All right, guys, let's look at common mistake number ten. The incorrect sentence is, it's used for cook food. So we've got four, and then we've got Cook. Now, Cook, what verb is that? Correct. It's verb one. So this is the incorrect pattern, four plus verb one. This is not correct, guys. To fix this, we need to say what? We talked about this at the very start of the course, so you should know it. We need to say four plus verb IN G. This is one of the most common mistakes I see my students make. They say four plus verb one, but you have taken this course, so you know it's wrong. And you know you need to say four plus verb ING. So to fix the sentence, guys, we simply add ING. It's used for cooking food. Pretty simple, right? Okay, these three sentences are incorrect. Thank you for B, a good friend. What software do you use for edit videos? Do you use your laptop for surf the net? Pause the video guys, fix the sentences, and then I'll show you the correct sentences. All right, let's have a look. Thank you for being a good friend four plus verbing. Very simple. What software do you use for editing videos? Four plus erbiNG. Do you use your laptop for surfing the net four plus erbiNG. So, guys, please remember, don't say four plus verb one. You need to say four plus verb ING. Let's do a little bit of brain training, guys. Repeat after me for driving. For planning for going for sharing, for looking for reading. Let's do it again for driving, for planning for going for sharing for looking for reading. So just remember, guys, I know I've said it ten times in this lesson four plus verb ING. 133. Common Mistake #11: All right, common mistake number 11. This is a pattern that we didn't talk about in this course, but it's a mistake that I often hear from my students, so I want to share it with you. The incorrect sentence is most of Australian people are nice. What's the pattern here? We've got most. We've got of, and we've got people, and people is a noun. So this is the incorrect pattern. Most of noun. This is wrong, okay? To fix this guys, you don't need to have of. Okay? Just say most noun. So for example, most Australian people are nice. We don't need to say that of. However, this rule is correct if we don't have a possessive pronoun. A possessive pronoun is a word like my, his or hers. If we have a possessive pronoun, this pattern is correct. So we could say something like most of his friends are nice. This is correct. This is fine. Another example could be most of her colleagues are very smart. So same again, we've used a possessive pronoun. We've said her. So if you say a possessive pronoun, then yes, you can use of. But if you don't have a possessive pronoun, like this sentence here, we don't have my, we don't have his, we don't have hers, so we don't need of. So please remember that, guys. If you have a possessive pronoun, say of. If you don't have a possessive pronoun, no of. These three sentences are incorrect, guys. Most of lawyers are very rich, are most of students friendly. Most of cats are cute. Pause the video, fix the sentences, guys, and then I'll show you the correct sentences. Alright, let's have a look. Most lawyers are very rich, very simple guys. We've got most, and we've got a noun, so we don't need of, and we don't have my his, hers or their. Next one, are most students friendly? Same again, remove that of, we don't need it. We do not need it. And last one, same guys, remove that of most cats are cute. However, if we said something like most of my cats are cute, this is correct if we say of because we've got that possessive pronoun. I said M. So remember, if you say a possessive pronoun like my, his or hers, then you can and you must say of. If you don't say of, then it's not correct. If you say something like most my cats are cute, this is wrong. You must say most of my cats are cute. Alright, guys, a little bit of brain training to finish off. Repeat after me, please. Most cars. Most schools. Most phones. Most trees. Most food, most of your friends. Now, look here, guys, we've got. So because we've got, we need to say of. Okay? One more time. Most cars. Most schools. Most phones, most trees. Most food, most of your friends. So just remember, guys, most plus noun know of, but if you have something like your my or his or hers, then you need to say of.
