Use of English - Advanced English Vocabulary, Grammar & Practice

1. Instructions : Hello guys and welcome to this course. In this course you're going to improve your English knowledge. Generally. You'll use of English. We're going to do this by looking at an example sentence and then completing another sentence so that it has the same meaning as that example sentence. We're also going to use a word to help us complete the second sentence. When we do this type of exercise, we're going to use ten steps. And those steps are going to help us improve our knowledge of English grammar structures and vocabulary. If you have any questions or comments, you can contact me on this platform. I'll leave these instructions on the screen for you now. And then I'll see you in the next video where we go through my ten steps. And then in the video after that, we'll try to complete this example sentence using those ten steps. 2. Follow These Ten Steps: Let's have a look at my ten step technique. First step is to read the example sentence and the sentence with the missing information. Read both sentences. Step two is to put a line through the duplicates information in both sentences. Step three is to identify the type of word they give you. That's the word in bold or in capitals. In this course, you need to identify that word. Is it a noun? Is it the verb? Is it an adjective, or is it another type of word? Don't worry if you can't remember all the steps right now, especially in this order, because we will be going through step-by-step on all the examples I give. It will become really obvious to you and you'll get much better at following the technique and hopefully remembering it and ingraining it. But let's have a look at the rest of the steps. So step four, is this word, the word that they give you? Is it used in any common collocations, expressions, phrasal verbs, etc. If you get a good course book, that should tell you to lots of the classic collocations or phrasal verbs are expressions which tend to come up. Step five, can you use the keyword? Again, that's the word in capitals or bold. The information without a line through it. Because remember you put a line through information in step two, can you use the information without a line through it and the keyword in the example sentence to complete the gap. Because remember, you put a line through some information in step two of this technique. Now can you use the keyword and the information without a line through it from the example sentence. To complete the gap. Step six. If you're not sure about the answer, try asking yourself a question using the information which you have. Again, these steps will become very easy to you after we've practiced using them on many examples sentences. Step seven. Try to answer your question, which you created in step six. Step eight, can you now put a line through all of the remaining information from the example sentence, end through your own sentence that you have completed. Step nine is the overall meaning of your completed sentence, the same as the overall meaning of the example sentence. Sometimes students think they have the right answer, but in fact, the meaning from the sentence is different to the meaning from the example sentence. And that's why this step is really important to check. In fact, I spent a long time creating this technique and every step is very important. So try to go through the whole of this course, all of the lessons with me, we can practice using it and you'll see why each step is vital. Finally, step ten. Make sure the words you use match each other. So, for example, if you use an uncountable noun, do not write the word many before it, because you cannot use the word many with uncountable nouns. That's the end of this introduction to the course and my technique. Now let's get started with our first example. Using this technique to help us. 3. A Classic English Collocation: This is the question. Can you remember what the first step was in the technique? Do you think you know the answer to this question? Whether your answer is yes or no, it doesn't matter. You should still follow this technique with me. Let's get started using my ten step technique with this question. This was the first step. Read the example sentence and the sentence with the missing information. This is the example sentence. I couldn't decide whether I preferred the red shirt, the gray one. This is the bird they've given us the keyword choice. Here is the sentence with the missing information. I couldn't. The red shirt, the gray one. Here's the second step, puts a line through the duplicate information in both sentences. What I'd recommend that you do right now is to write this question down either on your computer or on a piece of paper in front of you. As you prefer, write the question down and then try to put a line through the duplicates information in both sentences. When you've done that to press play and we'll continue. Okay, great. So hopefully you've written it down and hopefully you've put a line through any duplicates information you could find in both sentences. Uncertain. Now I'm going to show you the words which I put a line through. Maybe you put a line through the same words in your sentences. But if not, don't worry, because this is just a first practice Example. And there are many more in this course. I'm going to leave it like that. As we look at our step three. Step three, identify the type of word they give you. Is it a noun, a verb, an adjective? Word they give us is choice. You should also write down again, what type of work do you think this is? You can write next to it, noun, verb, adjective. And when you're ready, press play. And we'll see what I thought. Choice. I've written down a singular noun. And I've also written down that it should have an article before it. Because singular nouns in English have articles before them, determinants were already getting a little bit closer to our potential answer because we know there should be an article or perhaps a determiner before the word choice in our sentence that we are completing. Let's move on to step four. Is this word, which is choice, used in any common collocations, expressions, phrasal verbs, etc. So take a minute and write down any common collocations, expressions or phrasal verbs that you can think of involving the word choice. And when you're ready, press play, and we'll see what I think. Hopefully you've done that. Remember, it's a really good idea to study common collocations, expressions, and phrasal verbs. Before the exam. Using a good, a good course books should give you a lot of the ones that tend to come up in the exam. If you need recommendations for course books, etc. You can contact me and ask head over to my website, student languages.com. But let's have a look what I thought choice. I thought of this one to make a choice. This is an expression that we use quite a lot in English. We often say to make a choice. And it has the article before it, which is what I thought could be the case with the single countable. Now, an article. Step five. Can you use the keyword choice? The information without a line through the example sentence to complete the gap. Well, let's try. We have the keyword choice, the information without a line through in the example sentence. Decided whether I preferred. Maybe make a choice. Pause this, see if you can complete the gap and then press play. And we'll keep looking and keep going through this technique. Hopefully you've done that. And now we can see what I think I've written. Make a choice to make and choice. His step six. If you're not sure about the answer, try asking yourself a question using the information you have. Here's our answer, but I'm not sure. I'm not sure about it. So I wanted to ask myself a question using this information. Pause this video now and see if you can create a question from filled in sentence. Here's the question which I created. Could I make a choice between the red shirts and the gray one? I've used the example sentence we've completed, and I've made a question from it. Could I make a choice between the red shirt and the gray one? And step seven is to try to answer this question. Could I make a choice between the red shirts and the gray one? Well, let's try to answer it using the information given to us in the example. I couldn't decide whether I prefer the red channel where I couldn't decide, Could I make a choice? No. No, I couldn't because I couldn't decide. The answer to this question is no. I couldn't make a choice between the red shirt and the gray one. Interesting between, I didn't write that in my example sentence here. Step eight. Can you now put a line through all the remaining information? I think we can because I think that the side whether I preferred and make a choice between all the same in this sentence, they have the same meaning. Decide whether I preferred. Make a choice between. Here is step nine. Is the overall meaning of your completed sentence the same as the overall meaning of the example sentence. I couldn't make a choice between the red shirts and the gray one. I couldn't decide whether I preferred the red shirt, all the gray one. Yeah. I think it's close enough. I think they have the same meaning. Step number ten. Make sure the words you use match each other. For example, if you use an uncountable noun, do not write many before it. I couldn't make a choice between the red shirt and the gray one through the words match each other. I couldn't, well, Couldn't is what we call a modal verb in English. And it should have an infinitive after it. We could call that a bare infinitive actually be more accurate and bear infinities. Follow auxiliary verbs, for example, could. So here we use the bare infinitive, make articles, remember come before singular noun. So we have a singular noun choice. Before it here is at, so we have an art school before I'll singular noun. We have a bare infinitive after our auxiliary verb. Finally, the red shirt and the gray one is two things. If we're deciding between two things, we can use the word between. That's okay as well. That is the final complete answer to this first example. We've used our ten step technique and we've successfully completed the question. 4. Identifying English Word Types: Are you ready to look at the next example? Let's get going. Here's the example question. Despite her disappointment, she continued to be cheerful. We have the keyword remained and our sentence, although cheerful. Do you think you know the answer? Even if you do, continue going through this and practice using the technique. Step one, read the example sentence and the sentence with the missing information. Example sentence. Despite their disappointment, she continued to be cheerful. Sentence with the missing information. Although cheerful. Step two puts a line through the duplicates information in both sentences. Pause this video now and try to put a line through the duplicate information from the example sentence and from our sentence that we need to complete. When you're ready, press play. And we'll have a look at which words. I put some line through. Ready? I put a line through cheerful input sentences. Maybe that's different to you. If it is, don't worry, you may still have the correct answer. And also, this is a second time doing it. You might not be perfect yet. Don't worry, let's continue to step three. Identify the type of word they give you. Is it's a noun, a verb, or an adjective, or something else. Remained. What type of word is remained? Pause this video now, write down the example sentence. Write down your sentence with the gap and write down the keyword and then write down next the keyword. What type of word do you think it is? Is it a noun, a verb, or an adjective? And when you're ready, press play. And we'll have a look at what word I think it is. Remained is a verb in the past tense. It's irregular verb. Remain, remained, remained. If you wrote down something different, Don't worry. Let's continue. We'd step for this word remained used in any common collocations expressions will phrasal verbs. So pause the video now, write down any common collocations expressions are phrasal verbs. You can think of involving the word remained. When you've done that press play and we'll have a look what I wrote down. Okay, so hopefully you've done that. I couldn't think of any common collocations or expressions or phrasal verbs using the word remained. If you could, Great job. Well done. Don't worry if you couldn't think of any. Step five. Can you use the keyword remained and the information without online through to complete the gap. To pause this video and see if you can complete the sentence. When you're ready press play. So this is what I've written down. Although she was disappointed, she remained cheerful. It don't worry if you've written down something different. But this is what I've written. Now, with this answer so far, Let's move on to step six. If you're not sure about the answer. I'm going to ask myself a question. Using the information I have. Though she was disappointed, she remained cheerful. So write down your question either for your answer or for my answer here. When you're ready, press play and we'll have a look at what question I wanted to ask myself for this information. Hopefully you've done that. This is the question that I'm asking myself. Although she was disappointed, did she remained cheerful? Step seven. Try to answer our question. Although she was disappointed, did she remained cheerful? Despite her disappointment, she continued to be cheerful? Yes. Although she was disappointed. She remained cheerful. She continued to be CEF although she was disappointed to remain cheerful? Yes. Step eight, can you now put a line through all the remaining information? Though she was disappointed, she remained cheerful. Pause the video, put a line through the remaining information in both sentences and see what's left, if anything. And when you're ready, press play. Hopefully you've done that. And I put a line through all of the information because I could find similarities or even the same words in both sentences. Step nine is the overall meaning of your completed sentence the same as the overall meaning of the example sentence. Remember this is a really important step. Is the meaning the same? Well, yes, despite and although can both be followed by negative phrases. Here we have disappointed as a negative I did. These can subsequently be followed by positive phrases. We have a negative, then a positive despite her disappointment, WHO? Negative? She continued to be cheerful. Positive. Although she was disappointed, negative. She remained cheerful positive. Now, step number ten, make sure the words you use match each other. She was That's correct. It's not she words not she is. It's in the past. She was disappointed. She remained I think that's fine. I think the words to match each other. Then you have it. That is the correct answer. 5. So + adjective + that ...: Okay, it's time for our third example. Let's get going. Step one, read the example sentence and the sentence with the missing information. Here's the example sentence. There were so many people on the boat that I couldn't get a seat. Is the keyword crowded. Here is the sentence with the missing information. The boat was nowhere for me to sit. Step to put a line through the duplicates information in both sentences. If you haven't done so already, write down this question. The example sentence, the keyword, and the sentence with the missing information on a sheet of paper, or write it down on your computer. Then pause the video. Pause this video, pause me speaking and put a line through the duplicates information that you can find by sentences. When you've done that press play. And we'll see which words I put a line through. Hopefully you've done that. Now. I've put a line through the book in both sentences. This was the only duplicate information that I could find. Step three, identify the type of word they give you. Crowded his crowded a noun is it's a verb, is it an adjective? Is it something different? Pause this video again now and write down what you think, what type of word is crowded and when you're ready, press play. Hopefully you've done that. Crowded. Crowded is either an adjective or a verb in the past tense. Step four. Is this word crowded, used in any common collocations, expressions, phrasal verbs, etc. Pause the video and see if you can write down any co-location is expressions, phrasal verbs using the word crowded. When you're ready, press play, and we'll see what I've written down. Hopefully you've done that. I couldn't think of any I can't think of any common collocations expression. So phrasal verbs with crowded. If you could, well done, if not, don't worry, you're in the same boat as me. But just like in the example. Step five, can you use the keyword and the information without a line through in the example sentence to complete the cap. Say See if you can use the information we have now to complete the gap. And when you're ready, press play. And we'll see we'll tie right. Hopefully you've written down and completed you'll example sentence. Now, this is what I've written down. The boat was so crowded that there was nowhere for me to sit. Step six, if you're not sure about the onset, maybe you have a different ons to me. Try asking yourself a question using the information you have. I'm going to ask myself a question based on my completed sentence. You do the same. You can do it either for my sentence here or for your own sentence. Pause the video, write down a question. Excuse me. When you're ready, press play and we'll see what question I've written down. Hopefully you've done that question which I'm going to ask myself is whilst the boats so crowded that there was no FMI to sit? I've created a question. Now, step seven tried to answer my question. Most of the boat so crowded that there was no way for me to sit. Well, there were so many people on the boat that I couldn't get a seat. So yes. Yes. The boat was so crowded that there was nowhere for me to sit. And you'll notice now that our answer actually has the same words as filled in sentence. The boat was so crowded. That was Step eight. Can you now put a line through all the remaining information? Pause the video and see if you can put a line through older remaining information in our sentence. And in the example sentence. They duplicate these words. Can you find them here and here? Doesn't need to be exactly the same words. It could be similar words with the same meaning. Pulls the video, put a line through the rest of the information that we now have here and here. And when you're ready, press play. And we'll see what, what's I have. Put a line through. Hopefully you've done that. And we can see I've put a line through, pretty much filled at the words. We could even put a line through was and so because we have worse. So in the example sentence above, the word on, in the sentence above is not in our example sentence, but sometimes there will be a word or two, which we don't cross out. But most of the words here across doubt will have a line through. That is a good sign. Step number nine is the overall meaning of all complete sentence the same as the overall meaning of the example sentence. The boat was so crowded that there was no SMH sits. There were so many people on the boat but I couldn't get seat. Yes. I think the overall meaning is the same. Step number ten. Make sure the words match each other. The boat was so crowded that there was nowhere for me to sit. Often when we use the word. So in English, it has an adjective after it, and then it has the VAT beginning a new clause after it. We have that here, we have so then an adjective and then the web that with a new clause. The boat is also the same as saying it was his correct, But that was given to us anyway. And nowhere is a singular idea. And so it should be was nowhere. There was nowhere. That's correct. Two. And here you have the final completed sentence. And I can tell you that this is the correct answer. Remember if you have a different answer, you can email that to me. I will write me a question somewhere in this video course. And I will happily answer that for you and check if your answer is correct or not. 6. Present Perfect + Since: Okay, so let's have a look at our fourth example. Here is the question. Can you remember what step one of my technique is? To read the example sentence. We lost, went to Portugal three years ago. The sentence with the missing information, it we lost went to Portugal. Step two is to put a line through the duplicate information in both sentences. So if you haven't done so already, write down this question. The example sentence, the keyword, and the sentence with some missing information. Write them down on a piece of paper or on your computer and put a line through the words which you find which are the same in the example sentence. And in the sentence with the missing information. When you've done that, press play on this video and we will look at the words which I put online through. Hopefully you've done that. These are the words which I've put a line through. We lost, went to Puerto school, we lost went to Portugal. Exactly the same. Don't worry if you put a line through different words. That doesn't matter at this point. We just practicing. Step three, identify the type of word they give you. Is it's a noun, a verb, or an adjective. So we have the word years. What type of word is years? Write down what you think on your piece of paper in or on your computer when you're ready press play. So hopefully you've done that. What type of word is years? Well, years is a noun. When you think about nouns, you should also think, is it a countable or uncountable noun? And years is a countable plural. Now, there's the first few steps. Let's move on to step four. Is this word, years used in any common collocations, expressions, phrasal verbs, etc. So pause the video now, have a think of any common collocations are expressions of phrasal verbs, which have the word years in them and write them down again on your piece of paper or on your computer, and then press Play when you've done that. The case. So hopefully you've done that. And we can see what I've written down, which is that the word years. I couldn't think of any, I couldn't think of any common collocations, expressions, phrasal, verb, that step doesn't help us. Step five, can you use the keyword years and the information without a line through in the example sentence. So that's three years ago. To complete the gap. Pause this video and try and complete the gap using the keyword and the words they've given us, which we haven't put a line through to complete the gap when you've done that, press play. So hopefully you've done that. Now we can have a look at what I've written in the gap. I use the keyword years and three years ago to say it, three years since we last went to Portugal. Don't worry if you've written something different. Let's keep going through the technique. You can do it with your words which you've written. And I'm going to keep going with my words here. Step six, if you're not sure about the answer, I'm not sure about this answer at the moment. So this step is going to be good for me. Try asking yourself a question using the information you have. You can pause the video and try to think of your own question. And I'm going to think of a question here now. When you're ready, press play and we'll have a look at the question I write down. Hopefully you've written down a question. The question I want to ask myself about this information is, how long has it been since we last went to Portugal, That's the important part. How long has it been since we last went to Portugal? Now we want to try and answer this question. How long has it been since we last went to Portugal? Well, we lost ones Portugal three years ago. Or I could say if I want to keep the same verb tense, that it has been three years since we last went to Portugal. How long has it been since we lost when it's Portugal? It has been three years since we last met to put two, we're using the same words. And what I've done is I've taken these words now to complete the gap from the sentence which I needed to fill in. And I've changed it to now. It has been three years since. Step eight, can I put a line through all the remaining information? And again, you can pause and see if you've got duplicated information. Maybe the words that you've filled into the gap and put a line through them if they are now the same as the words above, or if they have the same meaning as the word above in the example sentence. When I do that, I can cross out the three years. The only words I have left up and go. But we're saying it's three years since I went. So that's the same as saying ago. And here we're using has been rather than went. There is a small difference there. That's why we need to keep checking with the rest of the technique with step number nine, whether our answer is correct. Step nine is the overall meaning of our completed sentence, the same as the overall meaning of the example sentence. It has been three years since we last went to Portugal. We lost went to Portugal three years ago. Yes. That has the same meaning. Finally, step number ten. Do the words match each other? It has. Okay, So it goes with hazards, third-person been three years since. This is a common mistake in English using since, using the present perfect tense and the word since. But this is how we write it. We write it in a positive sense. It has been since I did this or it has been since I did that. This is the correct way we write this. Present perfect and positive with the word. Since you might want to write down a few more examples or similar sentences on your sheet of paper to practice. I hope you enjoyed this quick material lesson and I look forward to seeing you when we're looking at our next example. And the five. 7. Verb + Object + Preposition + Verbing: Okay, Let's have a look at our fifth example. Is the question. Do you think maybe you know the answer already? Well, even if you think you know it, let's practice using my ten step technique. Again. Read the example sentence and the sentence with the missing information. You broke my camera. James sent to robot. James his camera. Step to put a line through the duplicate information in both sentences. Duplicates information that's looking for the same information in the example and our sentence. So pause the video and put a line through duplicates information. When you're ready, press play. And I'll show you which words I put the line through. Hopefully you've done that. And I put a line through camera. James. Let's move on to step three. Identify the type of word they give you. Accused is it's a noun, verb, an adjective, something different. If you haven't done so already, write down this question. And right next to the word accused, what type of word do you think it is? A mind? You're ready, press play on the video and you'll see what I wrote down. Okay, so hopefully you've done that. Accused is a noun or a verb in the past tense. Next step for the word accused using any common collocations, expressions, phrasal verbs, etc. What do you think? Pause the video, see if you can think of any expressions, etc, using accused. And when you had a good Think press play. And we'll have a look. What I say. Accused is often used with an object and then the word of and then something accused of. Step five. Can we use the keyword and the information without a line through the example sentence to complete the gap. So we have You broke my and said Robert, the word accused. Can we use that information to complete the gap? Pause the video and try to complete the gap using that information. When you're ready, press play. And we'll have a look what I think. Hopefully you've done that. I'm going to use that wood and the information without a line through. And I've created this. James accused robert of breaking his camera. Accused of breaking okay. Halfway there. Let's move on to step six. If you're not sure about the nonsense and I'm not sure about this at the mode. Try asking yourself a question using the information you have. So we want to create a question which helps us find the answer. So we want to ask a question about the main part of this example sentence. What did they asking? What should we ask to find the answer? Pause the video and write down a question to try and get the important information to try and help us complete this sentence. When you're ready press play and we'll see what question I freezing them. Okay. So hopefully you've done that. The question which I've written down is dead james accused of breaking his cameras. So we have **** James because it's in the past. James sent to Robert. You broke my camera. Did James in the past accused robert of breaking his camera. Then what we need to try and do is to answer this question. Step number seven, answer our questions. So did James accused Roberts of breaking his camera? Well, in the exam isn't it says You broke my camera, James said to Robert, so yes, James did accused robots of breaking his camera. Another way to say that, just to say yes, James accused Robert off breaking his camera. The key word is acute, so we need to say James accused rather than James did accuse, which would be a good sentence, but it wouldn't be using the keyword exactly. And we need to use the keyword exactly. James accused Robert breaking his camera. Yes, he did. Step number eight. Can you now put a line through the remaining information? Again, you can pause this if you've written it down somewhere and see if you can put a line through the rest of the information if it's the same in the example sentence and our sentence, you've done that press play. I have managed to cross out the word broke because I've written breaking camera james and rub it. So I've crossed out a fair amount of it. Not all of it. Maybe there's a couple of more things we can do to make sure our answer is correct. And we still have two steps to go. Step number nine is the overall meaning of our completed sentence, the same as the overall meaning of the example sentence. You broke my camera. James said to Robert, james accused droplet of breaking his camera. Is the meaning the same? Yes, it is. James is accusing robot of breaking his camera. The final step, step number ten. Do the words match each other? That should say, not this but each other. Make sure the words you use match each other. For example, if you use an uncountable noun, do not write many before it. James accused Roberts. Well, I remember from this earliest steppe accuse object of something. Accused Robert is the object of and something breaking ING. Normally we use a gerund with an ING after a preposition, which is all. That's correct as well. Yes, we are keeping with this accused object of using a verb after the preposition of and to say the thing that something that something is breaking, then we have it. That is the end of our fifth example. And I'll see you in the next video looking at the next example, number six. 8. A Common Phrasal Verb: Example six. Here's the question. You should write it down on your computer or on a piece of paper. Have a think if you know the answer. Even if you do, and you should continue watching this video. Because we're going to try and answer it using my ten step technique. Let's get started. Step number one, read the example sentence and the sentence with the missing information. Examples sentence, you are going to phosphine information sentence I, step number two, but a line through the duplicates information in both sentences. You should do this yourself and when you've done it, press Play. Now I'm going to show you the iBooks I aligned through the woods. You mean because me is the same as i and u is the same as u. U is both a subject and an object, whereas I as a subject and me is the object for that subject. If you don't know what I'm talking about, it might be worth researching subjects and objects in English on the Internet or somebody else. Moving on to step number three, identify the type of word they give you. Here we are given the word keep is keep an adjective is it's a verb, is it a noun? Write down what you think next to the word, keep on your sheet of paper or on your computer. And then press Play. Keep like and tell you that to keep as a verb. And here we have it in the infinitive form. Can also be used in the present simple like this. Step number four is this word, keep used in any common collocations, expressions, phrasal verbs, etc. Remember, I always advise to study these preferably from a good exam book, CAE, exam book before the exam. Keep. Let's have a think. Is it used common collocations, expressions, phrasal verbs such as write them down if you think you know any. And then press play. I can tell you keep used as keep up. Quite often. I say here, keep up is the most appropriate phrase of verb and what it means to maintain a pace. Now there are actually many common expressions, co-location with word keep. But here, remembering this sentence, what we've read so far, keep up is the most appropriate because it's about speed. And as I say, it means to maintain a pace. Moving on to step number five, Can we use the keyword, keep the information without a line through. I'm going to fast-forward to complete the gap. So pause the video, try to complete the gap using that information. When you're ready, press play. And we'll see what I've written. Hopefully you've done that. This is what I've written. Can't keep up with. So we've got the word keep the keyword. And I've changed are going to fast-forward to keep up with. Because I know keep up means maintain a piece. But I'm still a bit unsure whether this is the correct answer or not. So let's continue with the next step in the technique, which is to try asking ourselves a question using this information. What is the most appropriate question we can ask here? Have a think about that yourself. Pause the video, write down your question, then press play and we'll see what question I ask myself. Okay. So hopefully you've done that. The question that I'm going to ask myself is, can I keep up with you? Can I keep up with you? You're going too fast for me, So can I keep up with you? Now what we want to do is try to answer that question, which is, I can't keep up with you because why? You're going too fast for me? If you're going too fast for me, I can't keep up with you. Step number eight, can we now put a line through all the remaining information? All going too fast for we put a line through all of that. Is it the same in our sentence below, or do those words have the same meaning? What do you think? Put a line through the remaining information if you think it's possible. I think that actually are going to fast-forward is quite different thing can't keep up with. And so I haven't put a line through them. And as I say at the bottom here, this step doesn't really help us do this. But step number nine, maybe we'll remember nine is the overall meaning of our completed sentence the same as the overall meaning of the example sentence. I can't keep up with you. You'll get into phosphine. Yes. I think the overall meaning is the same. Step number ten, the words match each other. What we have I and count, That's correct. We have the modal verb can't, and then an infinitive keep. That's correct. It seems pretty good to me. As I say here, we use infinitives, keep after auxiliary and modal verbs. So count and keep. Yes, Good. Okay? Hopefully, you've got the correct answer if you didn't, don't worry, keep going through this technique with me. And we'll look at the next example together. 9. As Well As: Okay, so let's look at our seventh example. Here's the question. I recommend writing it down on your computer or on a sheet of paper. And do you think you know the answer to it? Even if you do think you know the answer to it, it's worth going through it anyway together using my ten step technique. Let's get started. Step number one, read the example sentence and the sentence with the missing information. Julia used to be better paid than she is these days. These days, Julia Is she used to be step number two, but a line through the duplicate information in both sentences. I recommend you do this with your writing that you've written down on your computer or your piece of paper. When you've done that, when you've put a line through duplicates information, press play, and we'll have a look at which words. I've put it on line three. I put a line through. Junior used to be because we have Juliette and used to be sentence and she, which we have in our sentence as well. And is these days which we also have our sentence. What we're doing now is we're minimizing the amount of content we have to focus on. What we really need to focus on now is better paid than and the word as. Step three, identify the type of word they give you. The word as, is it a noun, a verb, an adjective. You can take a moment to think about this when you're ready, press play, write it down. I recommend them when you're ready, press play. And I would tell you what type it is. Okay. So the word is an adverb of comparison. If you don't know what that means, you can look it up on the Internet, but we're going to push on and you'll probably see what it means in a second. Anyway. Step number four is this word as used in any common collocations, expressions, phrasal verbs, etc. That's a tricky one. Have a moment to think about it. Pause the video if you like, write down some expressions, collocations, phrasal verbs with as. When you're ready, press play, and we'll see what I've written. So what I've written is that the word as can be used before an adjective or an adverb. Then it can also have the word as after it again, as ice cold, that's as hot as, for example. Step five. Can we use the keyword as the information without a line through better paid than the examples in to complete the gap. Again, you can pause the video if you want to take a minute to try to complete the sentence using that information, then press play and we'll have a look at what I've written. I have used the word as twice. And I've also said paid from our example sentence. And well, because I'm using as well lands to mean almost as much as in this sentence. And that's kind of similar to saying, Is it better? Is it worse isn't the same as instead of bit unsure if this is the correct answer, of course. So let's have a look at step number six and keep going. So if you're unsure, ask yourself a question. Using this information that we have. Again, if you want to, you can pause the video, write down a question. If you're unsure about your answer, and then press play and we'll see what question I've asked myself. Based on this information. The question I'm asking myself is, is Julia paid as well as she used to be? Is Julia paid as well as she used to be? That's the real that's the real question. Is she paid as well as she used to be? The answer to that question, step number seven. Is that actually no? No. Julia is not paid as well as she used to be. It says at the top that Julia used to be paid better. She used to be paid better. Which means in the past she was better paid. Which means now she's worst paid or now she's not paid. As well as this is pivotal. Asking this question has helped me get that word not in they're really important and we're going to touch on that again in a couple of steps. So asking this question has helped me add the extra word not. And that can be a really important word because it can change the entire meaning. But before we get onto the meanings, step number nine, Let's have a look at step number eight. Can we put a line through the remaining information? Better paid than not paid as well as well? Yes. I think that those two more or less do mean the same thing, better paid than not paid as well as in fact, it's the opposite. Not paid as well as means paid worse than. But in the context of this sentence, I think that debt to pay Dan not paid, as well as makes sense to cross out that information. Step number nine is the overall meaning. As we've kind of touched on in the last couple of steps. I think that yes, the meaning is pretty much the same. These days, Judah is not paid as well as she used to be. Means in the past she was paid more or in the past? She was paid better. She used to be paid better. She's not paid as well as xij to be long, it takes a lot of thinking this example. But they liked throw tricky ones into the exam, so it's good to have a look at it together. And finally, number ten to the words match each other. Judah is not paid. Okay. She is paid or she's not paid. That's correct. As well as well. We talked about that idea. I think that's correct as well. So I think the weds do match each other. And then we get a little tick for us. At the bottom. Good job if you made it this far. Let's keep going. Let's keep practicing. Get this technique down memorized so then we can use it without thinking in the exam and hopefully get full marks in this part. 10. A Classic English Phrase: Okay, Question eight, here's the question. I recommend writing it down on your computer or on a piece of paper. Then you can think to yourself, if you know the answer. Even if you think you do know the answer, I recommend going through this lesson with me and seeing how we use my ten step technique to complete it. Good technique to memorize. So the example sentence and the sentence with the missing information. Step one, I'm happy to go and watch any film you choose. I would go and watch. Step to put a line through the duplicates information in both sentences. You should do this by yourself and you can pause this video. Now, let's give yourself time to do this. You're ready, press play, and we'll have a look at which words I've put a line through. I've put a line through I, which is imposed sentences and go and watch, which is also in both sentences. Duplicates information. So step three, identify the type of word they give you. They give us the word mind here. So mind is that a noun, verb and adjective something different? Again, you can take a minute to think about it by pausing this video. And when you're ready, press play. The word mind is a noun, or it could be both. In this sentence. I think it's gonna be a VIP. This word, step four, is this word used in any common collocations, expressions, phrasal verbs, etc. Mind. So again, take a minute and have a think. Can you think of any communications, expressions, phrasal verbs with wet mind, write them down on you're ready, press play. Here are a couple of examples that I thought of. Don't mind and nevermind. I can immediately tell you that Never mind is one word. And we can't add anything to our keyword. It has to be like this as a single word. If it was either of these two would probably be, don't mind. Step five. And here's the interesting part. Now you can try to complete this sentence. But when you do so, try to use the information without the line through from the example sentence and the word mind. Take a minute, pause the video, try to complete the sentence using that information. When you're ready, press play. Hopefully you've done that. We can have a look at which words I've written. Now. I've written, I don't mind which film. We go and watch a quick little tip. Piece of advice. The exam, a contraction like don't counts as two words. For example, in the C1 advanced keyword transformation, she right between 36 words. So don't be two of those. So we would have, do not essentially mind which film, okay, That's five words, that's okay. It's in the brackets. I don't mind which film we go and watch. That's what I've written. Based on the information I have here. I'm still not 100%. Let's move on to step number six. If you're not sure, try asking yourself a question using the information you have. What question can I ask using this information? You do the same. Take a minute, write down a question about this sentence. And when you're ready, press play and we'll have a look at which sentence I've written down. This step becomes easier the more you do it with me. So you'll start asking appropriate and accurate questions after awhile. Pause the video, write down the question when you're ready, press play. Okay, so hopefully you've done that. The question I've written down is, do you mind which film we go and watch? Do you mind which film we go and watch? I think that captures the meaning of the sentence quite well in a question form. Do you mind which whom we go and watch? Now I want to answer that question. The answer, when I say I'm happy to go and watch any film I choose, the answer to that is no, I don't mind which film we go Image. I can use that answer to help me complete the center of the gap. No, I don't mind which let me go much. I don't mind which film we go and watch against the same words. That's seems good to me, That feels good. Let's move on to step number eight. Can you now put a line through all the remaining information? Don't mind which B2 and you feel me choose. Take him it put a line through the information if you think you can press play and we'll see which words I put a line through. Hopefully you've done that. I've put a line through film. That's it. Let's move on to the next step. Nothing more to do in this step. Step number nine is the overall meaning of your completed sentence the same as the overall meaning of the example sentence. I don't mind which film we go and watch. I'm happy to go and watch any form you choose. The meaning is more or less the same. Yes. Step Number ten, the words we're using match each other. I do not. That's correct. Don't should be followed by a infinitive because it's an auxiliary verb. And mind is an infinitive. Which film? Which followed by a singular now, okay? Alright, then we have it. If you didn't get exactly the same answer as me, Don't worry. Maybe you just needed a little bit more practice and we're going to look at another example in a minute. If you think your answer is correct, but it's different to mine. And then you can write to me and ask some of you may have actually written down, I don't mind what film we go and watch. And that would also be okay. Alright. See you in the next example. 11. As Soon As: Okay, Let's have a look at Example nine. You should write this down on a piece of paper or on your computer. Think if you know the answer or not. Even if you think you do know the answer, you should watch this video and see me complete it with my step ten stepping technique and follow this technique with me as we go through. Let's step number one, reading the example sentence and the sentence with the missing information. When the meeting was over, we went out for coffee. As finished. We went out for a coffee. First step. Second step, put a line through the duplicates information in both sentences. When the meeting was over, we went out for coffee. As finished. We went out for a coffee. Take a minute, put a line through the information you think is the same in both sentences, I will do the same. When you're ready, press play, and you can see what I've written. So I've put a line through. We went out for coffee. The same. Step number three. Identify the type of wet they give you. Hat. Hat a noun, a verb, or an adjective. Take a moment to have a think when you're ready, press play. The word hat is eight verb. To be more specific, It's possible. Simple. Past participle, have Hand, hat. Step number four is the word had used in any common collocations expressions. Phrasal verbs. Take a minute to have a think. You're ready, press play. The word had. I don't think that's really relevant. I think that the world had such a such a well-used word. It's used so commonly that I don't think it's relevant to think of common collocations expressions, phrasal, verb, but not relevant. Step five, can we use the keyword and the information without a line through in the example sentence to complete the gap, tried to fill in your sentence. Now, remember to write from three to six words, inclusive. And when you're ready, press play, and we'll see what I've written. So hopefully you've done that. I've written soon as the meeting hat because we have to add acid at the beginning as soon as, which means immediately after. As soon as the meeting had finished. It doesn't matter if you've written something different. That's keep going through together and you can use the technique with your answer with mine. Let's see where we end up. So that's step number five. Step number six, if we're not sure about the answer, we should try asking ourselves a question, using the information we have. Take a minute and have a think if you can create a question to ask yourself using this information. When you're ready, press play. And we'll have a look at the question I ask myself. Hopefully you've done that. Question. I asked myself is did we go out for coffee as soon as the meeting had finished? Step number seven is to try to answer this question. You can take a minute and try to write an answer to your question. Manual, ready press play. And I will show you the answer to my question. I'm going to answer this question now by saying, yes. We went out for coffee. Coffee. As soon as the meeting Unfinished. I can see that the words I'm using to complete my answer are the same as the world's I've written in the gap above. As soon as the meeting had finished. Next step, kinda put a line through the remaining information. Take a minute. Tried to do this with yours. I will do the same. When you're ready, press play. So we can put a line through some more words, the meeting. We can't quite put a line through soon as well. Maybe that's okay. We still have two more steps. Let's keep going. Step number nine is the overall meaning of all completed sentence the same as the overall meaning of the example sentence. Soon as the meeting had finished, we went out for coffee. When the meeting was over. We went out for coffee. It's pretty much the same. I think ours is a bit more specific, but yeah, when the meeting was over, we went for coffee as soon as the meeting if punishment for coffee, it's more or less the same. So yes. A bit more specific for you. Word when is similar to saying as soon as was over is similar to say, half finished. Step number ten. The weds match each other in our sentence. So in our example sentence, as soon as okay, that's good. They match that, that that's correct. Phrase. Soon as and then we should follow it up with a noun, lady, and that's what we do. The meeting had finished as soon as it had finished. I think that's fine. I hope this lesson was useful. If you want more practice, you can follow me in the next video lesson. 12. Until: Example ten. Here's the question. Do you know the answer? Maybe you do. Maybe you don't. Either way, write it down on your computer or on a piece of paper. And then go through my ten step technique with me to finding the grant tones. When you're ready, press play. And we'll go to step one. Step one, read the example sentence and the sentence with the missing information. She puts everything back in its place before she left. She did not everything back in its place. Okay, so we have a positive example and a negative and ALM step to put a line through the duplicates information in both sentences. You can take a minute to do this and then press play and we'll see which words I put the 93. Okay, so hopefully you've done that. Let's have a look. I put a line through she just in both sentences, everything back in its place, which is also by sentences. Step three, identify the type of word they give you. Until is until the noun, verb and adjective something different. Again, you can take a minute to have a think, write down what you think the type of word is. Press play. And I'll tell you. The word until is actually a preposition or a conjunction. Step for this word until used in any common collocations, expressions, phrasal verbs, etc. Until. So take a minute to have a think right some down. If you think there are any, then press play and we'll see what I think. Hopefully you've done that until I don't think it's relevant. Again, I couldn't think of many collocations, expressions, phrasal verbs. I don't think we're going to need to use any here. Step number five, can you use the keyword until the information without a line through? In the example sentence. She put and before she left. To complete the gap. Take a minute. Tried to complete the gap using that information. When you're ready, press play, and we'll see what I write it again. So hopefully you've done that. I put the words leave, which is similar to left in the example sentence, until she, which is also in the example sentence. And we have put in the example sentence. Step six. If you're not sure about the answer, try asking yourself a question using the information we have. So pause the video, write down a question. Maybe you've written something else in the gap that you can ask yourself a question on the information you've written or you can ask yourself a question. Let me information I've written here and then press Play when you're ready and we'll see what question I've written there. Hopefully you've done that question which I've written is, did she leave before putting everything back in its place? The answer to this question could be very useful to us. Let's have a look. Step number seven. Try to answer your question. Again. Take a minute. Try to write an answer to your question. When you've done that press play and we'll see the answer to my question. The answer to my question is no. She did not leave until she had put everything back in its place. No, she didn't. And we can see here, no, she did not leave until she had put everything back in its place. I'm actually using the same words in my answer as words in the question. That kind of makes me feel like I've written it correctly. Maybe you will still not sure. And we still have three steps of the technique to go. Step eight, can we now put a line through all the remaining information? We can put a line through she Leslie. Then you should take a minute and try to put a line through anything else. Hopefully you've done that. We can also put a line through leave and left. And she the other sheet, two sheets. We can put a line through both of them in both sentences. I missed one on the top, but she's in the top sentence, two sheets and the bottom. Let's move on. Step number nine is the overall meaning of all completed sentence, the same as the example sentence. She did not leave until she had put everything back in its place. She puts everything back in his face before she left? Yes. Puts everything back and then she leaves. Step number ten. Final step. Do the words we use match each other. She did not did not as an auxiliary verb, we need an infinitive after, so that's Leave. Did not leave until she had to put. Okay. That's fine. As I say at the bottom, we use an infinitive off the auxiliary verbs, did. We have did, and then an infinitive leaf and put is the past participle of ****. That's okay as well. All right, I hope this lesson was useful. If you have any questions you can write to me. If you had a different answer, what do you think is correct? You can ask me about that as well. Hopefully. I'll see you in the next example, number 11. 13. Phrasal Verb with 'Take': Okay, Let's have a look at example 11. Is the question, should write this down on your piece of paper or on your computer. Have a think if you know the answer. Even if you do think you know the answer, you should go through the rest of this lesson with me. Because we're going to try and complete it using my ten step technique, which will be really useful to memorize for the exam. Step number one. Read the example sentence and the sentence with the missing information. They decided against employing us because of our inexperience. They decided because of our inexperience. Step number two, but two line through all the information that you find in the top sentence, the example sentence. And when there is the same information in the bottom centers. You can take a minute to do this. And when you're ready, press play. So hopefully you've done that. Let's have a look at the duplicates information, which I put the line through. They decided. And because of our inexperience. So that leaves a few words in the example sentence, which will help us to focus on finding our answer. Step number three, identify the type of words they give you, which is take is take a noun, an adjective. Write down what type of word do you think it is, then when you're ready, press play. I can tell you that the word take is a verb. In the infinitive here. The infinitive form. Let's now move on to step number four. Is the word take used in any common collocations, expressions, phrasal verbs, etc. Again, take a minute and try to write some of these down with the word take if you can think of any. And if you think of lots, maybe try to think of one which could be relevant to this question. When you're ready, press play. Hopefully you've done that. Now, I thought of many phrasal verbs with the word take. And I felt of one which could be appropriate here, which is take on. Take on is a separable phrasal verb, which means employee. If you don't know what's a separable phrasal verb is, it's worth looking this up. Along with inseparable phrasal verbs. A good course book will explain these two also. Step number five. Can you use the keyword? Take the information without a line through in the example sentence against employing us to complete the gap. Take a minute to think. When you're ready. Press play. Okay. I've completed the gap using the word take the information in the example sentence to say to take us on. But I'm still not sure if this is the correct answer. I'm going to move on to step number six, which is to ask myself a question using the information I have here in my sentence. You should do the same. Whether you have the same words in the gap is meat or not. Ask yourself a question using the answer you've written down. When you've written your question, press play. Okay. So the question I wanted to ask myself, using the information I've written down here is did they decide to take us on because of our inexperience? Then step number seven is to try to answer this question. You should do the same for the question that you've written down. Try to write down an answer for it. I will do the same here for my question. And when you're ready, press play. Did they decide to take us on because of our inexperience? No. They didn't. They decided not to take us on because of our experience. I can see here that the answer to my question, I've realized that the word not was missing from the cap, which I filled in the gap that I filled in as the same words as the answer to my question, not to take us on. It's really important. That could have been the difference between getting them up or not getting them up for this question. But I'm still not convinced about this answer. So let's move on to step number eight. Can you now put a line through all the remaining information? Put a line through the information. If you think it's the same. Don't if you don't think it's the same. When you're ready, press play. The words actually are not exactly the same. So I didn't put a line through them. Step number nine is the overall meaning of our completed sentence, the same as the overall meaning of the example sentence. They decided not to take us on because of our inexperience. They decided against employing us because of RNA experience. Against employing AS means not employing us and not employing us as the same as not taking us on. Yes. The overall meaning of our sentence is the same as the overall meaning of the example sentence. Finally, step number ten. We need to make sure the words we use match each other. I can tell you that often in English we have a subject and then decide, and then two and an infinitive, which is what we have here in our sentence. The subject, they decided not to optional too. And the infinitive take. It seems good to me. And I can tell you that this is the correct answer. If you think you have another answer which is also correct, feel free to write to me and I will check it for you. Otherwise. If you didn't get it correct, don't worry, because we're going to do lots of more examples together. I'll see you in the next example. Number 12. 14. A Common Collocation: Okay, Let's have a look at example 12. You should write this question down on a sheet of paper or on your computer and have a think if you maybe know the answer already. Even if you do know the answer. Press play, and we'll go through my ten step technique together. Step one, read the example sentence and the sentence with the missing information. She is not very interested in that work. She does work. Step to put a line through the duplicate information in the example sentence and in your sentence. Take a minute. When you've put a line through the duplicate information in both sentences, press Play. Okay, so hopefully you've done that. These are the words which I put a line through their work. Step three, identify the type of word they give you. Interest. Is interest, noun, a verb, an adjective or something different? Right down what type of where you think it is, and when you're ready, my display. The word interest is actually a noun or a verb. Step for the word interest used in any common collocations, expressions or phrasal verbs. And again, take a few minutes if you need to write down all of the phrases and collocations, etc, that you can think of using the word interest. And when you're ready, press play. Hopefully you've done that. Now, when I was thinking I had not a lot, but a couple of phrases with interests in my mind. I thought the most appropriate one here would be taken interest to take an interest in something. Step five, can you use the keyword that's interest and the information without a line through in the example of sentence is not very interested in. To complete the gap. Take a few minutes, Have a think, write down. What do you think goes in the gap? When you're ready, press play. Hopefully you've done that. Now we can have a look at which words I wrote in the gap. I wrote, not take an interest in. I'm using the information from the earlier steps to take an interest. But I'm actually changing it to say not because that's more similar to the example sentence. Doesn't matter if you've written something different. But I'm going to continue using my technique with the answer I have here. And you can do the same or you can continue the next steps with your own writing. Step six, if you're not sure about the answer, try asking yourself a question using the information you have. So take a minute and have a think about a question that could be applicable to your sentence. When you've written down that question, press play. And we'll have a look at what question I wrote down. Okay. So I wrote down the question. Does she take an interest in that work? Does she take an interest in network? Now, step number seven is trying to answer this question. Maybe you've written a different question and you should now write an answer to your question. And I'm going to write an answer to my question. When you're ready. Press play, and we'll have a look. Hopefully you've done that. And the answer to my question is, no. She does not take an interest in their work. We can see in my answer here that I'm using the same words that are in the sentence which we had to complete not to take an interest in. That's how positive sign to me. But there were a few steps left in my technique. So let's have a look at step number eight. Can we now put a line through all the remaining information? Take a minute and see if you can do this with your writing. And I will do the same when you're ready press play. I've managed to underline a few more words here. Interest, not. Step number nine is the overall meaning of your completed sentence the same as the overall meaning of the example sentence. She is not very interested in their work. She does not take an interest in that work. Yes. Meaning more or less, is the same. Finally, step number ten. Make sure the words we use match each other. So does should be with an infinitive after it, because it does is an auxiliary verb. And auxiliary verbs come before infinities. And here we have does not, and then the infinitive take, that's fine. Take an interest as a common co-location, as we said earlier. Interested in is also a common co-location. I'm feeling pretty content about this answer. I can tell you that this answer is correct. If you add a different answer, don't worry, maybe you also is also correct and you can write to me asking to check. If you think you got it wrong. Also, don't worry because we're going to do a lot more examples like this one using my technique. And I'll see you in the next video lesson with number 13. 15. Such + article + adjective + noun: Keyword transformation, example 13. You should write down this question on a piece of paper or on your computer and have a think if you know the answer. When you've done that press play. Even if you think you know the answer. You should still go through this video lesson with me because we're going to practice getting the krypton to using my ten step technique. If you memorize this technique, you'll be able to use it with lots of variety of keyword transformation questions. Let's get cracking with step number one. Read the example sentence and the sentence with the missing information. This is the funniest book I've ever read. A book before. Step number two, but it's a line through the duplicates information in both sentences. So take a minute to do this. Put a line through the information you find which is the same in the example sentence. And then you will sentence with a gap in it. And when you've done that, press play, these other words which I put a line through book and I've step number three. Identify the type of work they give you. Funny, funny a noun, a verb, an adjective, or a different type of wet. Again, you can pause this video for a minute and write down what type of word do you think it is? When you're ready? Press play. The word funny is an adjective, often confused the word fun. Step number four. This word used in any common collocations, expressions, phrasal verbs, etc. So pause the video and write down all the collocations, expressions, and phrasal verbs you can think of with the word funny. And when you've done that press play, and we'll have a look at what I've written there. Hopefully you've done that. I couldn't think of any common collocations, expressions, or phrasal verbs with funny. If you think you have some, then feel free to write me a message and tell me I'd like to hear from you. But for now I'm going to move on to step number five, which is completing the gap in our sentence. Let's use the keyword and the information remaining from the example sentence. As in the information without a line through in the example sentence. To help us complete the gap, you can pause the video and take a minute to write down the words you want to in the gap. And when you're ready, press play. And we'll have a look at what words I put in the gap. Hopefully you've done that. Now we're going to have a look at what I've written in the gap. Never read such a funny. It doesn't matter if you've written down something different. You can continue using my technique. The next steps with your own writing, all using my writing and my words here. But I'm not sure if this is the correct answer anyway. So let's have a look at step number six. If you're not sure, try asking yourself a question using the information you have. So take a minute and write down an appropriate question based on the answer and the sentence that you've filled in. After you've done that, press play on the video. And then we can have a look at what I've written down as my question. Okay. So hopefully you've done that. Now the question that I've written down is half I ever read such a funny book? Step number seven is to try to answer our question. Pause the video again and write an answer to your question. Then press play and we'll see what the answer I've written to this question. Remember, try to answer it truthfully based on the information that we've been given. Okay. So the answer to have I ever read such a funny book is no. I've never read such a funny book before. I can see now that my answer to this question actually has the same words as those that I've written in the gap. That's a positive sign. But I'm still not 100% convinced. I'm going to move on to step number eight. Which is, can we put a line through all the remaining information? Again, you can pause this video and try to put a line through the remaining information that you find in the example sentence and annual sentence. When you've done that press play. I put a line through a little bit more funniest book. And ever read funniest similar to funny book we have ever read, similar to never read. Step number nine is the overall meaning of our completed sentence, the same as the overall meaning of the example sentence. In the example sentence, this is the funniest book I've ever read. The most funny. My sentence that I've completed. I have never read such a funny but before. So again, it's still means this book is the most funny because no others compared to it. I've never read such a funny book before. This is the funniest. The overall meaning is the same. Yes. Step Number ten, make sure the words we use match each other. I have should be followed by a past participle. Here it's the word red, red, red, red. It's an irregular verb and read like this is the past participle. Another thing is the woods such, which is often followed by an indefinite article. And here we have the indefinite article. So it's correct. Then often off to such or such. And we have an adjective and noun. That is also the case here with the adjective funny and the noun book. I'm feeling pretty positive. I can tell you that this is the correct answer. If you have a different answer which you also you think is correct, you can write me a message and asked me to check. Well, tentatively if you think you've got the answer wrong, don't worry because we're going to keep using my technique with loads more examples. So I'll see you in Kiva transformation 14. 16. Another Common Collocation: Keyword transformation 14. Here's the question, and you should write this down on your computer or on a piece of paper. And have a think if you know the answer. You've done that, press play, and continue watching this video. Hopefully you've done that. Now. Whether you think you know the answer or not, you should still watch the rest of this video and go through using my ten step technique. Because if you memorize this technique, you'll be much better equipped to tackle keyword transformation questions. So let's start together by looking at step one in the technique. Read the example sentence and the sentence with the missing information. I was really pleased that at last my mother had managed to give up smoking. I was really pleased as it lost my mother up smoking. Step two. But mine through the duplicates information in both sentences. Take a minute and put a line through information that you find in the example sentence and the sentence that we need to complete. When you've done that, press play on the video and I'll show you which words I put a line through. Okay, so hopefully you've done that. And we can see here that I put a line through. I was really pleased that at last my mother and up smoke that shows us that we need to be focusing on Hat managed to give n the keyword successful. Step number three is to identify the type of what they give us, which is hear the word successful. Successful, a noun, a verb, an adjective, or something else. You can pause the video again and write down what type of work do you think it is? And when you're ready, press play. Successful is an adjective. Truly important to be able to identify word types in English. This will help you a lot with your English and specifically with the use of English. I recommend studying them. If you've got a good course book, they should be a lot of information on different word types in there, explaining them and giving them examples. If you want any more advice on this, feel free to write to me. Step for the word successful used at UNI common collocations expressions, phrasal verbs. Again, you can pause this video and write down any that you can think of with the word successful. When you're ready, press play. And we'll see what I've written. Hopefully you've done that. I felt this successful in verbing. I've heard this a lot in English. Successful in step number five. We need to try to complete the sentence now using the information without a line through in the example sentence and the keyword, successful. So take a minute again and try to complete your sentence. When you're ready, press play and we'll see what I've written. And again, hopefully you've done that. And I can show you that I've written was successful in giving. I've got my successful n and third in. And I've also put the word was, let's have a look. Don't worry. By the way, if you've written something different, you can continue using the next steps with my words here or with your own words. Let's have a look at step number six. If you're not sure about the answer, try asking yourself a question using the information you have. I'm going to now try and write a question based on the sentence which I've completed. You should do the same fuel sentence. You've done that press Play, and I will show you which question I've written down. Hopefully you've done that. Now the question which I've written is, what's my mother successful in giving up smoking? The next step, step number seven, is to try to write an answer to this question. So again, pause the video, write an answer to your question. When you're ready. Press play. And I'll show you the answer that I've written to my question. The answers that I've written to my question is, yes. My mother was successful in giving up smoke. I can see here that in my answer, I have many of the same words that are actually also in the sentence which I completed was successful in getting. Step number eight. Can we now put a line through all the remaining information? Again? Pause the video, see if you can put some line through the information left in the example sentence. And if it has the same information in your sentence. And when you're ready, press play and we'll see what words I put that I3. So hopefully you've done that. I put a line through, hadn't managed to get because had managed to is the same as saying what's successful in and give is the same as giving. Step number nine is the overall meaning of our completed sentence, the same as the overall meaning of the example sentence. The example sentence, I was really pleased that at last my mother had managed to give up smoking and our sentence, I was really pleased and it lost. My mother was successful in giving up smoking. Well, yes, I think the overall meaning is the same. Finally, step number ten. Make sure the words we're using match each other. If we use an uncountable noun, for example, make sure you don't write many before it. Here in our example. Successful as often within. So that's fine. And that's often followed with a verb I and G, So that's fine as well. And also, my mother is a singular person. She so it's correct to say she was. So that's good too. I'm feeling pretty happy about my aunts and now I can tell you that it is the correct answer. If you've written down a different tone, which you also think is correct, feel free to ask me. Otherwise, if you think you've got the answer wrong, don't worry, because we're going to do loads more examples like this. I'll see in keyword transformation 15. 17. Caused + obect + to + infinitive: Keyword transformation 15. You should write down this question on a piece of paper or on your computer and have a think if you know the answer. When you've done that, press play on this video and continue watching. Hopefully you've done that. Even if you think you have the answer correct, already. Used to watch the rest of this video lesson with me where we're going to try and find the answer using my ten step technique. Memorizing the technique will help you in answering more keyword transformations and doing so in a quicker time. So let's have a look at step one of the technique. Read the example sentence and the sentence with the missing information. We lost our way because the signposts was confusing. This signposts was confusing, which lost. To put a line through the duplicates information in both sentences. You can pause this video now and put a line through any duplicates information you'll find in both sentences. And when you've done that press Play, Let's have a look at which words I put a line through. Lost and the signpost most confusing. That helps us to focus. Now in the example sentence on the words we and our way because as well as the keyword caused. Let's move on to step number three. Identify the type of work they give you, which is caused. Is caused a noun, a verb, or an adjective, or is it a different type of word? Again, you can pause this video now and write down what type of work do you think it is? When you're ready? Press play. Hopefully you've done that. And I can tell you that the word cost is a verb. And here it's in the past, simple or past participle for identifying words is really important to help you improve your English. And most specifically to help you in the use of English paper. Let's have a look at step number four. Is this word used in any common collocations, expressions, phrasal verbs, etc. Caused. Write down any you can think of with the word cost. And when you're ready, press play, and we'll see which complications, expressions or phrasal verbs. With course, I thought of the case, so hopefully you've done that. And I can tell you that caused is often with a noun after it. Costs can also be with an object and then with two and then infinitive after it. Step number five. Can we use the keyword and the information without a line through the example sentence. To complete the cabinet. Take a minute and try your best at this, try to complete your camp now. Menu already press play on the video and we'll see what I've written in the cap. So hopefully you've done that. And now using the steps we've done so far, I have written in the gap caused us to get don't worry, if you've written something different, you can use the next few steps with your own writing, or you can continue with me and my writing and the gap here. Step number six. If you're not sure about the answer, try asking yourself a question using the information you have. I'm not sure about the answer, and I'm going to write the question based on the answer I've written in here. Based on the whole of this sentence, you should do the same. When you've written down that question. Press play and we'll see what question I've written now. Hopefully you've done that. Now the question I've written down for myself is, dip the signpost, cause us to get lost? Now in step number seven, we want to try and answer this question. So again, you can pause the video and write an answer to your question, and I'll do the same here. And when you're ready, press play and we'll see what I've written down. So hopefully you've done that. Now, the answer to this question for me is, yes, this signpost caused us to get lost. We can see here that in my answer to this question, I'm using the same words that I put in the gap caused us to get. That's making me feel good about my answer. But I want to clarify my answer and make sure it is correct. Let's move on to step number eight, which is two. Now try and put a line through all the remaining information in the example sentence. If it's also got duplicate information in the sentence which I completed. You should do the same. Press pause, put a line through duplicates information. When you're ready. Press play. Okay, so hopefully you've done that. Now we can see that's actually I haven't put a line through much more information. As I say at the bottom, it doesn't really matter here. Why doesn't it matter? Well, that's because the overall meaning of our completed sentence is the same as the example sentence. We lost our way because the signposts was confusing. The signposts was confusing which caused us to get lost. It has the same meaning. But I'm going to do stat ten because that's also important to check. Now, we need to make sure the words we use match each other. So they do. It took k, as we saw in the steps before. You can have the word caused and an object and two and an infinitive, which we have here, caused the object us to, and an infinitive get. It's good. And I could tell you that this is the correct answer. If you think you have another answer which is also a correct, you can write to me. Or do you think you've got the answer wrong? Don't worry because we're going to do a lot more examples like this. And I will see you in keyword transformation 16. 18. Third Conditional: Keyword transformation 16. Here is the question and you should write it down on a piece of paper or on your computer and have a think if you know the answer. When you've done that, press play on this video. Hopefully you've done that. Even if you think you have the answer correct already. Let's go through it together. Using my ten step technique. Memorizing my technique will help you to answer these questions more effectively and more quickly in the future. Let's have a look at step number one. Read the example sentence and the sentence of the missing information. She did not buy the car because it was too expensive. She would have bought the car. So expensive. Step number two, put a line through the duplicates information in both sentences. She did not buy the car because it was too expensive. She would've put the cost so expensive. Okay. I'm going to put a line through the words which are the same in the top sentence and the bottom sentence. You should do the same when you've done that, press play on the video and we'll see which words I put a line through. I put a line through SHI the car and expensive. Step number three. Identify the type of web they give you. It. Is it a noun, verb, an adjective, or a different type of wood? Again, pause this video, write down what type of where do you think it is? You're ready, press play. Okay. So hopefully you've done that. And I can tell you that the word, it is a pronoun and it's often used as a subject in a sentence. If you don't know much about different types of words, you should definitely revise them. It's a really big help in learning the English language. So step number four. Is it the word it used in any common collocations, expressions, phrasal verbs, etc. If you can think of any, pause the video and write them down. And when you're ready, press play. I thought it's just too common a word. I didn't want to write down any common collocations, expressions, phrasal verbs. But let's move on to step number five. What you need to do now is to try to fill in the gap using the word it and the information without a line through in the example sentence. Pause the video and try to do that. And when you're ready, press play. And we'll see what what I've written in. Again. I wrote the words if it had not been in the gap. Don't worry if you've written different words, you can still use the next steps in my technique with your words, or you can do them with the words that I've written here. Step number six. If you're not sure about the answer, try creating and asking yourself a question, using the information in the sentence that you've completed. Again, pause the video, take a minute. Tried to think of a question based on the information in the sentence that you've completed. When you're ready, press play and we'll see what question I've asked myself. Hopefully you've done that. Now. The question I asked myself is which she bought the car if it hadn't been so expensive. Now what I'm going to try and do in step number seven is to answer this question. You should do the same. Try to now write down a full answer to your question. I'm gonna do the same here. When you're ready, press play and we'll see what answer. Alright. So hopefully you've done that now, which she had bought the car if it hadn't been so expensive? Based on the information that we have here? Yes. She would've bought the car if it had not been so expensive. We can see that the words I'm using in my answer here, if it had not been, are the same as the words I'm using in the gap. And that's quite a positive sign. But let's move on to step number eight. Can we now put a line through older remaining information in the example sentence? If it's duplicated or it has a similar meaning in our sentence. You can do this for your own sentences. And when you're ready, press play. I've now put a line through. Nothing extra. But I didn't think it's that's important because the words are kind of similar anyway, which leads me on to step number nine, is the overall meaning of our sentence the same as the remaining of the example sentence. She would've bought the car if it had not been so expensive. She did not buy the car because it was so expensive. Yeah. I think that the overall meaning is pretty much the same. The car was less expensive, she would have bought it. Step number ten. Make sure the words we use match each other. So let's have a look at this. If it so it is good because it's referring to the car had not been is correct. It's past perfect tense. And this is correct In this sentence because what we're doing here is a third conditional. And third condition was if had past participle and then the subject and would have under past participle. We have that here just in the other way around. It's referring to a past hypothetical situation, as I said at the bottom, which is what third conditional does. I can tell you that the odds we have here is correct if you have a different tones. So what do you think is correct? You can write to me and asked me to check. If you think you've got the answer wrong. Don't worry, because we're going to do more examples like this one using my technique. I'll see you in keyword transformation 17. 19. Comparative + than: Keyword transformation 17. You should write this question down on a piece of paper or on your computer. Have a think if you know the answer and when you've done that, press Play. Okay, so hopefully you've done that. Now, even if you think you know the answer that's going through this video lesson together anyway, using my ten step technique, has that really helped you to answer more keyword transformation questions faster and more efficiently. So step number one. Read the example sentence and the sentence with the missing information. My friend had not expected the book to be so funny. The book was had expected. Step number two puts a line through the duplicate information in both sentences. Suppose this video now puts a line through any information you find the same in the top sentence and the bottom sentence. When you've done that, principally, we'll have a look at which words I put the 93 case. So hopefully you've done that. I've put a line through head and expected the book. Step number three, identify the type of work they give you. Friend. Is it a noun, a verb, or an adjective, or something different? Again, pause the video, write down what type of word do you think a friend is? When you're ready press play. Friend is eight. Now, that can be really helpful to know how to identify different word types in English. Step for this word friend used in any common collocations, expressions or phrasal verbs. You can think of any. Pause the video and write them down and when you're ready, press play. Okay. I actually did not think of many common collocations, expressions of phrasal verbs. I'm going to move on to step number five. Step number five is trying to complete the sentence using the keyword friend and the information without a line through it in the example sentence. So pause the video and take a minute and try to complete the gap. When you're ready, press play. Hopefully you've done that. Let's have a look at the words which I put in the gap. Funnier than my friend. It don't worry if you've written different words in the gap, you can continue with the next steps with the words you've written or with my width. Step number six. If you're not sure about the answer, try asking yourself a question using the information you have. So take a minute and try to create a question based on this information in the sentence we filled in, right down that question. And when you're ready, press play. And we'll see what question I've written down. Hopefully you've done that. Question I've written down is, was the book funnier than my friend had expected? Now what we're going to do in step seven is to try to answer this question. You should do the same thing. So pause the video again, try to write an answer to your question, a manual ready press play. The answer to this question for me is, yes, the book was funnier than my friend had expected. And I'm writing this on to, based on the information that I've been given in the example sentence. And in my sentence here, I can see that the words I'm using when I answer this question are the same as the words I've used to complete the gap. And that's a positive sign. I'm gonna move on to step number eight. Can I put a line through all the remaining information? Pause the video and try to do this with your answer. When you're ready, press play. So I can now put a line through my friend. Funny. We're getting a lot closer to the answer. We still have two steps to go. Step number nine is the overall meaning of our completed sentence, the same as the overall meaning of the example sentence. So the example sentence, my friend had not expected the book to be so funny. He didn't think the book would be as funny. And in the completed sentence, the book was funnier than my friend had expected. Yes, that meaning is the same. He didn't think it would be as funny. The book is funnier than he thought previously. The overall meaning is the same. Step number ten, make sure the words we use match each other. The book was funnier than my friend had expected. We've got a comparative adjective hit, funnier. That's normally followed by the word done. As we have in this sentence here. I can tell you that this answer is correct. If you have a different answer which you also think is correct, you can write to me and asked me to check it. Otherwise, if you've got the answer wrong, don't worry, because we're going to do lots more examples like this using my ten step technique. I'll see you in keyword transformation 18. 20. Preposition + verbing: Keyword transformation 18. You should write down this question on a piece of paper or on your computer. And when you've done that, press play on this video. Hopefully you've done that. If you think you know the answer, that's great. But we're gonna go through it using my ten step technique anyway, because that will help you to get a lot better at answering keyword transformations. Step one of the technique is to read the example sentence and the sentence with the missing information. Here we go. Roger has to wear his glasses to read the newspaper. Raja, wearing his glasses. Step two puts a line through the duplicate information in both sentences. Roger has to wear his glasses to read the newspaper. Raja, wearing his glasses. Take a minute and put a line through puberty, continue information in both sentences. And when you've done that, press play on this video and we'll see which words I put a line through. I put a line through Roger. Where his glasses. Step three. Identify the type of word they give you. Without is without a noun, a verb, an adjective, or a different type of wood had. Again, pause the video and write down what type of where do you think it is and then press play. Well, I can tell you that the word without is actually a preposition, but it can also be an adverb or a conjunction. I've highlighted the word preposition here because that's how I think it will act in this gap. You should read up about word types for any English exams that you do. Because that really useful to know and for learning English generally. Good course book. We have a lot of information on word types. If you want me to record it, recommend one, feel free to write me a message. Step for this word without used in any common collocations, expressions, phrasal verbs, etc. Have a think about this and write any down that you can think of. And then press play on the video and we'll see which phrases, etc, I write down. Okay, so hopefully you've done that. Now. I know that without is often followed by a noun or a pronoun, or quite often in form. But I couldn't think of any specific colocation, et cetera. I didn't write any doubt. Step five, I'd like you to try and fill in the gap now, using the keyword without the information in the example sentence which doesn't have a line through. So take a minute and try to do that. And when you have put some words in the gap, press play and we'll see what words. I put it again. I put reads the newspaper without don't worry if you've written different words in the gap. We can continue with the next steps in the technique with my words or with your own words. Step six. If you're not sure about the answer, try asking yourself a question using the information that we have. Again, take a minute, pause the video, write down a question that's relevant to the information we have here running. You've done that press play and we'll see what question I've written down. It's better to try to write in full sentences a question. I've written down. Can Roger read the newspaper without wearing his glasses? The next step in the technique is then to write an answer to this question. Again, pause the video and write an answer to your question, or you can write an answer to my question. Also. You've done that press play and we'll see what talent Set I've written now. Okay, so hopefully you've done that. The on-site I've written down based on the information we have is the no. Roger cannot read the newspaper without wearing his glasses. That's really important because this answer has allowed me to realize that the word cannot was actually missing from the from the Gap. I didn't put the word cannot that we can see that the gap is filled with the same words that are in the answer to this question. It's very easy to lose marks by not putting the negative word or a simple word into the gap. Step number eight, can we now put a line through all the remaining information from the first sentence and the second sentence. There we go. I managed to also cross out, read the newspaper. I couldn't cross out all the words. That doesn't necessarily matter. Let's move on to step number nine. Is the overall meaning of your completed sentence the same as the overall meaning of the example sentence. Roger has to wear his glasses to read the newspaper is the example sentence. Roger cannot read the newspaper without wearing It's losses is the example sentence. And yes, they have the same meaning. Finally, step ten is to check that the words we're using match each other. We have the word cannot hit, which is an auxiliary verb and should be followed by an infinitive often and read as an infinitive. That's good. As I mentioned earlier, we should have a preposition and then off to the preposition, an ing. And so if we have the preposition without, we then have a verb with an I and G After wearing. That's good as well. So remember, prepositions are followed with the labs and the I-N-G form. Okay. And I can tell you that this answer is the correct answer. But if you think you have a different answer, which is also correct, you can write to me and asked me to check it for you. If you think you've got the answer wrong. Don't worry, because we're gonna do a lot more examples like this one. And you'll get better the more we practice, especially when we're using my ten step technique. I'll see you in keyword transformation 19. 21. So + adjective + that clause: Keyword transformation 19. I recommend writing down this question on your computer or on a piece of paper. When you've done that, press play on this video and we're going to go through it using my ten step technique. Hopefully you've written it down and maybe you even think you know the correct answer. But even if you do go through the technique with me, because when we memorize this technique, it will make the future questions a lot easier and quicker to answer. The step number one is to read the example sentence and the sentence with the missing information. Example sentence mocks children on never invited to parties. Now, because of bad behavior. The sentence with the missing information, March children never invited to parties. Step two is to put a line through the duplicates information in both sentences. So take a minute and put a line through the information you find in the top sentence, which is the same as the information, the bottom sentence. When you've done that, press play on this video and we'll see which words I put a line through. I've put a line through, marks children on never invited to parties. Step number three is to identify the type of work they give you, which is that? Is that a noun, a verb or an adjective or a different type of wet? Write down what you think. Now I will tell you that the word that is a conjunction or it can also be a pronoun, or it can be a determiner, or it can be an adverb. So it can be many different types of woods. And it's important to learn about types of words to help your English in general really does make a difference. It will also help us a lot in answering keyword transformations. Step for this word that's used in any common collocations, expressions, phrasal verbs, etc. Pause the video again and have a think, Can you think of any common collocations, expressions, phrasal verbs with the wealth that when you've written those down, press Play. So I actually couldn't think of that many using the width that I didn't write any down. But it shouldn't be too impulsive. Let's go on to step five. At this step, I'd like you to try to now fill in the gap using the web that and using the information in the example sentence without a line through it. Take a minute to try to do that. When you've done it, press play. These are the words which I wrote in the gap. So badly behaved. That don't worry, if you wrote down different words, yours may still be correct. You can continue using the next steps of my technique with your words. But I'm going to continue using them with the wet I have here. So step number six is, if you're not sure about the answer, try asking yourself a question using the information you have. So again, take a minute and try to create a question about this information and tried to write a full sentence is your question, I will do the same. When you are finished, press play and we'll see which question I write. The question I've written down as Marx children so badly behaved that they are never invited to parties. Now in step number seven, we're going to try to write an answer to this question. So take a minute again and try to write a full sentence as an answer to the question that you've written down. Or if you prefer, you can write a full answer to the question I've written down. I'm going to do the same. When you're ready, press play. So the answer I've written down is yes, mocks, children are so badly behaved that they are never invited to parties. I've got this answer from the information that was given to us in the example sentence. I can see that the words that I'm using in my answer here are actually the same words that I've used to fill in the gap. That's good sign. Step number eight is can I now put a line through the remaining information? Take a second and see if you can put a line through the remaining information in your example sentence and also in the words that you've put into the gap. Okay, so I've put a line through bad behavior and badly behaved. There are few words which didn't have a line through but might not be important. Let's move on to step number nine. Is the overall meaning of your completed sentence the same as the overall meaning of the example sentence. The example sentence marks, children are never invited to parties now because of bad behavior. And my sentence mocks children are so badly behaved that then never invited to parties. Yes. I think that the overall meaning is the same. I finally step ten. Do the words we're using match each other. We have children, and children is plural. So we should say afterwards, in this circumstance and not Is that's correct. And we often say, so. Then an adverb possibly and an adjective and then that with a clause after it. And as I said at the bottom here, exactly that subject. And then b, which we have, mocks children, and then an adverb, badly behaved, that dot-dot-dot? Yes, it seems good to me. My knowledge of English, I think this is the correct answer, but I can tell you that it is the correct answer. If you've written a different answer that you also think is correct, you can write to me and asked me to check it. If you think you've got the question wrong, don't worry, because we're going to do a lot more example sentences like this. So I will see you again using my ten step technique with keyword transformation 20. 22. Apart: Keyword transformation 20. You should write down this question on a piece of paper or on your computer and see if you know the answer. Then press play. And we'll go through using my ten step technique. If you memorize this technique, you'll be able to do keyword transformations lot more quickly and effectively in the future. Okay, So hopefully you've written down this question. Now we're going to have a look at my ten step technique. Step one. Read the example sentence and the sentence with the missing information. Example sentence. Maria is the only person I know who enjoys homework. Since with missing information, I don't know. Maria who enjoys homework. Step to put a line through the duplicates information in both sentences. When you see some words in the top sentence which are the same in the bottom sentence. Put a line through those words and pause this video to do that for a minute. And when you've done it, press play. Hopefully you've done that. Now we can see which words I put a line through. I've put a line through Maria, and I know who enjoys homework. Step three is to identify the type of word they give you. Part a part, a noun, a verb or an adjective, or a different type of word. Again, pause this video and write down what type of work do you think it is and when you're ready, press play. So hopefully you've done that. I can tell you that the word apart is either an adjective or an adverb. Understanding word types will be really useful in the use of English paper and in learning English in general. I advise reading up about different word type city English. Step for this word used in any common collocations, expressions, phrasal verbs, etc. Write down all of those that you can think of using the word apart. Take a few minutes to do this. And when you've done that, press play. And we'll see what co-location is, expressions and phrasal verbs with the part I've written there. Hopefully you've done that. Here we can see that I've written the words apart from the word apart is often followed by the word from. Now. Step number five, I'd like you to try to complete the sentence using the word apart. The knowledge that we now have about that word, and the words which don't have a line through them in the example sentence. So take a minute to fill in your gap. And when you've done it to press play. And we'll see what words I've written in there again. Hopefully you've done that. Now. The words that I've written in the gap are any person apart from. It doesn't matter if you've written different words. You can continue using the next steps in this technique with the words that you've written. Or if you want to use the words I've written here, you can go through my next steps using these words here. But let's continue to step number six, because if you're still not sure about the answer, try asking yourself a question. And that will help. Have a look at the sentence that you've now completed with the words and see if you can create a question based on the information in this sentence. Take a minute to write down your question, and I will do the same. When you're ready press play and we'll see what question I've written down. Okay, so hopefully you've done that. The question that I've written down is, do I know anyone apart from Maria who enjoys homework? And step seven is to write an answer to this question. You should take a minute and write an answer to your question, or you can write an answer to my question here. When you've done that, to press play on the video again and we'll see what answer I've written down. Okay, so hopefully you've done that. And the answer that I've written down is no. I don't know anyone apart from Maria, who enjoys homework. We can see that many of the same words here in my answer are the same as the words that I had to fill in the gap. I've just written anyone rather than any person. But that's a good sign. Let's go on to step number eight. Now put a line through all the information in the top sentence. If I can find the equivalent in the bottom sentence, take a minute and do this with your two sentences. I can now put a line through the word person. The other words I can't put a line through, but that doesn't necessarily matter. Let's move on to step number nine. Is the overall meaning of us completed sentence the same as the overall meaning of the example sentence. The example sentence is, Maria is the only person I know who enjoys homework. Sentences. I don't know any person apart from a rear, who enjoys homework? Yes. The overall meaning of our completed sentence is the same as the overall meaning of the example sentence. And the final step, step number ten, is to make sure the words we're using match each other. I don't know any apart from Maria, I said earlier, a part is often with from after it. That's good. It's also possible to say anyone or any body instead of any person in this sentence. If you've written any person or any one or any body apart from that, all correct. If you have a different answer that you also think might be correct, you can write to me and asked me to check it for you. If you didn't get this answer, don't worry because we're going to do lots more examples using my ten step technique. I'll see you in keyword transformation 21. 23. Unlikely + for + object: Keyword transformation 21. You should write down this question on a piece of paper or on your computer. See if you know the answer. When you've done that. Press play on this recording again, and we'll go through this question using my ten step technique a case. So hopefully you've written down the question here, both parts. And even if you think you know the answer, Let's go through it using my technique anyway, because memorizing the technique will help you in general, would you English, but also in the exam? Step one, read the example sentence and the sentence with missing information. I did not think that John would phone tonight. I find tonight. Step to put a line through the duplicate information in both sentences. I did not think that John would phone tonight. To phone tonight. So take a minute, put a line through any words that you find in the top sentence which are the same in the bottom sentence. When you've done that press play. And we'll see which words I've put on line three. Hopefully you've done that. These are the words which I've put a line through. And fine tonight. Step three is to identify the type of work they give you. Unlikely. What type of load is unlikely is it's a noun, a verb, an adjective, or a different type of wood. So pause the video, write down what type of word do you think it is? When you're ready? Press play. Hopefully you've done that. I can tell you that the word unlikely is an adjective. Many of you may have written down and adverb because many ads, apps and in LY, but it's actually an adjective. Step four is unlikely used in any common collocations, expressions, phrasal verbs, etc. So write these down if you can think of any. You can take a minute to do that. When you have done that to press play. And we'll see what phrases or collocations I've written down using the word unlikely. Okay, so hopefully you've done that. I've written down here, unlikely that because quite often when we use the word unlikely, we use the word that after it. I've also written down unlikely for and an object, because we often also say that it's unlikely for him, it's unlikely for her, etc. This information will help us with the following steps. Let's move on to step number five. Now let's have a look at what was I've written. And again, I've written thought it unlikely for John. We can see that I'm using unlikely for the object John here. It doesn't matter if you've written different words. You can continue with the rest of my technique using the words you've written. All using my words here. Step number six. If you're not sure about the answer, try asking yourself a question. Using the information you have. Pause the video and take a minute to think of a question that you can ask yourself based on the information that you have here in the sentence that you've completed. When you've done that press play. And we'll see what question I've written down. I've written down the following question. Did I think it's unlikely for John to find tonight. It doesn't matter if you've written a different question, but that's the question that I've written down. Now step number seven is to try to answer this question. So again, pause the video and try to write an answer to your question using a full sentence. And I will do the same when you're ready. Press play. Okay, so hopefully you've done that. The answer that I've written to my question is, yes. I thought it unlikely for John to phone tonight. We can see that the words I'm using in my answer here are the same as the words I've used to fill in the gap. That's a good sign. Moving on to step number eight. Can you now put a line through all the information in your completed sentence and the information in the example sentence. All the words now duplicated in both sentences. Take a minute to have a think about this. See if you can put a line through the words. And when you're ready, continue watching this video. And I will show you which words I've put it in line three. Okay, so hopefully you've done that. And now we can see that I've put a line through. Did not think that John. And the only words remaining without a line through all wood and two. And so it's only one word each and I don't think it's that important. Moving on to step number nine is the overall meaning of our completed sentence, the same as the overall meaning of the example sentence. The example sentences. I did not think that John would phone tonight. And the completed sentence, I thought it unlikely for John to phone tonight. I would say yes. The overall meaning is the same between the two sentences. Finally, step number ten. The words we're using match each other. So when we use unlikely, as I mentioned earlier, it should be followed by four and an object, which we have here, often after the object that will be an infinitive, which we also have hit, unlikely for John to fight. This is the correct answer I can tell you, but don't worry if you've written a different answer, it might also be correct. If you'd like me to check it for you, you can write me a message. If you think you've got the answer wrong, don't worry because we're going to do it a lot more examples like this using my ten step technique. I'll see you in keyword transformation 22. 24. Causative Passive: Keyword transformation 22. You should write down this question on a piece of paper on your computer. Have a think if you know the answer. And when you've done that, press play. And we'll go through this question using my ten step technique. Hopefully you've done that. Let's have a look at step number one. In my technique. Read the example sentence and the sentence with the missing information. Example sentence. Julia had to wash up before she could go out. Synthase with missing information. Julia, wash up before she could go out. Let's move on to step number two. Put a line through duplicates information in both sentences. If you see some words in the example sentence which are the same in the incomplete sentence, you should put a line through both those words. You can pause this video now for a minute and do that. And when you've done it, press play, and continue watching. Okay, so these are the words which I've put a line through Julia and wash up before she could go out. Step number three, identify the type of word they give you. Made is made a noun, an adjective, or a different type of flood. Again, you can pause the video and write this down. When you're ready, press play. The word made is actually the and here it's in the past, simple or past participle for make mate, mate. Step four is the word made used in any common collocations and expressions or phrasal verbs. You should write them down. If you can think of some. If you have lots that you can think of, then try to write down an appropriate one based on the information we have in our sentences here. Take a minute to do this and when you're ready, continue watching the video. And I'll show you what phrases I wrote down with meat. Okay, so hopefully you've done that. Now. I've written down, made is used in the causative passive. Often we say was or were and made, and then two and an infinitive after. I thought that could be relevant to this circumstance. Let's have a look at step number five. In step number five, I'd like you to try to complete the sentence using the word made, the words without a line through the example sentence. And the information that we thought about the word made. Take a minute to try to complete the sentence. And when you're ready, continue watching the video. And I'll show you which words I've written in the sentence. Okay, so hopefully you've done that. The words that I've written in R was made to, I'm using this idea of causative passive to complete using was made to. Then we have the infinitive after it. Don't worry if you've written down different words, you may still be correct. You can continue using the next steps in my technique with your words or with my words here. I'm going to continue now is step number six, which is if I'm not sure about an answer, I'm going to ask myself a question using the information I have here. Do the same. Take a minute, pause the video, and try to write a full question based on the information in this sentence. When you've done that press play and we'll see what question I've written down. So hopefully you've done that. The question that I've written down is, was Julia made to wash up before she could go out? Doesn't matter if you've written a different question. We're now going to answer these questions. Which step number seven. So try to write a full answer to your question. Take a minute to do this. When you have done it, press play and we'll see what answer I've written down. The answer that I've written is yes. Julia was made to wash up before she could go out. We can see here that the words I've used to answer this question are actually the same words that I've written when completing the gap must make two. And that's a positive sign. Step number eight, can I now put a line through all the remaining information? We have had. Two was made to see if you can put a line through the duplicates information in the example sentence and in your sentence. And when you've done that press play, had two is very similar to what's made to. So I've put a line through those words. And now there is a line through all of the sentences. Step number nine is to check that the overall meaning of the example sentence is the same as the overall meaning of the sentence we've completed. The example sentence. Julia had to wash up before she could go out. And our sentence, Julia was made to wash up before she could go out. Yes, the overall meaning is the same. We can quickly move on to step number ten, just to make sure the words we use match each other. So have the word Julia, which is x0. So we should say, well, it's not where Julia was. I've also said it at the bottom here that we have a subject be made to an infinitive, which is correct, and that is what we have here. The subject Julia be made to the infinitive wash. I can tell you that this answer is correct. If you have a different answer which you also think is correct, you can write to me and ask if you've got it wrong. Don't worry because we're going to do a lot more examples using my ten step technique. I will see you in keyword transformation 23. 25. Allowed + to + infinitive: Keyword transformation 23. You should write this question down on a piece of paper or on your computer. When you've done that, we'll go through using my ten step technique to try and complete it. Hopefully you've written down the question. Let's have a look at step one of my technique. Read the example sentence and the sentence with the missing information. Why can't we go to the party? Why go to the party? Step to put a line through the duplicate information in both sentences. Pause this video for a minute, put a line through the words that you find which are the same and the top sentence, the bottom sentence, when you've done that, press Play. Okay, so hopefully you've done that. And we can see the eye for the line through the words y and go to the party. Step three, identify the type of word they give you. Allowed is the word allowed a noun, verb and adjective, or a different type of wet? Write down what type of word do you think it is? When you've done that? Continue watching this video. The word aloud is a verb. It's in the past simple or the past participle form. Step number four is the word aloud using any common collocations, expressions, phrasal verbs, etc. Right? Any of these down that you can think of. If you can think of it really appropriate one to do with this question, then write that down as well. Take a minute to do this. And when you have done that to press play. And we'll see what the AI right now. Hopefully you've done that. I've written down that the word aloud is often followed by two and an infinitive. Step number five, I'd like you to now complete the sentence using the word aloud and the words without online through in the example sentence. And the information that we have gathered in the first four steps. Take a minute to complete your sentence. When you've done that press play and we'll see what words I've written in the gap. So hopefully you've done that. I've written the gap. Our aren't we allowed to? So don't worry if you've written down different words, you can continue using the next steps in my technique with your words or with my words here. Let's move on to step number six. If you're not sure about the answer, try asking yourself a question using the information you have. We should pause the video and try to create a question based on this information in a sentence we've completed. When we've written down a full question. Press play. Hopefully you've done that. Now, the question that I've written down is we allow to go to the party. In step number seven, we're going to try and answer this question. Again. Take a minute to pause the video and write an answer to your question, and then we'll see what answer I've written to my question. Hopefully you've done that. The answer that I've written to my question is no. We aren't allowed to go to the party. We can see here that the words I'm using in my example answer aren't an out two. Very similar to the words we're using in the completed sentence that we completed earlier. That's a good sign. Step number eight. Can we now put a line through all the remaining information? Take a minute and put a line through any duplicates information you now have remaining in the example sentence and your sentence. When you've done that, press play. Hopefully you've done that. I've now put a line through counts. We because count is the same as saying, aren't we allowed? I have the word two remaining, but I don't think that's too important. Step number nine is the overall meaning of our complete attendance the same as the overall meaning of the example sentence. The example sentence is, why can't we go to the party? And our sentence, why aren't we allowed to go to the party? Yes. The meaning is the same. And the final step, step number ten, is to make sure the words we use match each other. So aren't we? That's good. It should be, aren't we? We aren't, aren't we? As I said earlier, allowed is often followed by two and an infinitive, and we had that tier allowed to go. I can tell you that this is the correct answer. Don't worry if you've written a different answer, It may also be correct and you can write to me and asked me to check it. If you think you've got the answer wrong. Also, don't worry because we're going to do lots more examples like this. I will see you in keyword transformation 24. 26. Subject + Be + Supposed + To + Infinitive: Keyword transformation 24. Take a minute and write this question down on a piece of paper or on your computer. When you've done that, to continue watching this video. Hopefully you've done that. Now we're going to try and complete this sentence using my ten step technique. Step number one is to read the example sentence and the sentence with the missing information. Examples sentence. Do you know what the homework is? Sentences the missing information. Do you know what we for homework? Step number two, but a line through the duplicate information in both sentences. You can pause. This video now, puts a line through the information that you find in the top sentence, which is the same in the bottom sentence, put a line through the words in both sentences. When you've done that to press play. And we'll see which words I've put a line through. I've put a line through the words. Do you know what? And homework. Step number three, identify the type of word they give you. Supposed It's supposed a noun, a verb and adjective or a different type of word. Again, take a minute to think about this and write it down. Whatever you think is the answer, then press Play. I can tell you that supposed is actually adjective. It's really important to be able to identify different types of words will help with your English in general and with your use of English. Step number four. Is this word used in any common collocations, expressions, phrasal verbs, etc. Write down all of those you can think of using the word supposed when you've done that press play. So I've written down BY and supposed and infinitive. Because often in English we say B supposed to. Step number five. Now like you to complete your sentence using the keyword supposed and any words from the example sentence which we haven't used. The information that we've gathered in the first four steps. When you've completed your sentence, continue watching the video and we'll see what words I've written in the case that hopefully you've done that for words that I've written in the cap are supposed to do. Supposed to do. It doesn't matter if you've written down different words. Yours may also be correct. And you can continue using my steps in this technique with your words. But I'm going to continue now using the steps in my technique with the words I've written here. Step number six is, if you're not sure about the answer, try asking yourself a question using the information you have. But this is a different type of keyword transformation, actually two most, because this is already a question. You can actually skip this step. And that also means that we can skip step number seven because writing an answer is not going to help us really in this question. So let's move on to step number eight. Can we now put a line through all the remaining information? Well, actually, this step isn't going to help as much either because we only have the and is left in the example sentence. We can skip this step and move on to step number nine. The overall meaning of our completed sentence the same as the overall meaning of the example sentence. The example sentence, you know what the homework is, not completed sentence. Do you know what we are supposed to do for homework? Well, the meaning is pretty much the same. We're asking, what is the homework? Final step, number ten. Make sure the words we use match each other. We are, that's good. Supposed, and then infinitive after it. Yes. I can tell you that actually, this is the correct answer. If you've written down a different dance at which you also think is correct, you can write to me and ask if you think you've got it wrong. Don't worry. We're gonna do a lot more exercises like this. I'll see you in keyword transformation 25. 27. Deserve + to + infinitive: Keyword transformation 25. You should write down this question on a piece of paper or on your computer. When you've done that, continue watching this video. Hopefully you've done that. Now we're going to go through and try to answer this question using my ten step technique. Step number one, read the example sentence and the sentence with the missing information. Lucy played much better than Natalia. It was unfair that she lost the match. Lucy, the match because she played much better than Natalia. Step number two is to put a line through the duplicate information in both sentences. Put a line through any information you find in both sentences, which is the same. Take a minute to do this. And when you've done it, continue watching the video. Hopefully you've done that. Now we can see which words. I've put a 93. I put a line through Lucy. Played much better than Natalia. And the match. Step number three. Identify the type of word they give you. Deserve is it's a noun, verb, adjective. Take a minute and write down what you think this type of word is. And when you're ready, press play. And I will show you. The word deserve is actually a then it's an infinitive hit. Step number four is the word deserved used at any common collocations, expressions, phrasal verbs, etc. If you can think of any, then write them down. Now, pause the video. When you've done that press play. I've written deserve to, because often the word deserve is followed by the word to. Step number five. Now like you to try to complete the sentence using the word deserve. The information without a line through in the example sentence. And the information that we've gathered in the first four steps. You can take a minute to do this when you're ready, press play. So hopefully you've done that. We can have a look at what words I've written in the camp. I for Britain did not deserve to lose. Don't worry if you've written down different words, yours may still be correct. But I'm going to continue using the steps in my technique with my own words here. You can continue using the steps in the technique with your words. If you're still not sure about an answer, try asking yourself a question using the information we have. That is step number six. I'm going to try to create a question based on the information that I've written and that was already here before I filled in the gap. I'm going to try to write the full question. And you should do the same. Take a minute to do this. Then when you're ready, press play. Hopefully you've done that. And the question I want to ask myself is, did Lucy deserve to lose the match? What we're now going to do is to answer this question in step number seven. So take a minute and write an answer to your question. I mean, you've done that, continue watching the video, and I'll show you the answer to my question. Hopefully you've done that. And I can tell you based on the information I have that note, Lucy did not deserve to lose the match. If you write a contraction in a keyword transformation that counts as two words, even if it was didn't, that would still count as two words did not. Step number eight, can we now put a line through the remaining duplicate information, both sentences. So take a minute and see if you can do that with your sentences. And I will do the same. Hopefully you've done that. Now we can see that I've put a line through. It was unfair that she because even though the words are not the same, saying it was unfair that she means she didn't deserve to. Step number nine is the overall meaning of our completed sentence the same as the overall meaning of the example sentence. The example sentence, Lucy played much better than Natalia. It was unfair that she lost the match. Completed sentence. Lucy did not deserve to lose the match because she played much better than Natalia. Yes. I think that the meaning is the same. Do you see played better? And rarely she deserved to win. It was unfair that she lost. She didn't deserve to lose. The final step, step number ten, is to make sure the words we're using match each other. So when we use the word dead, it's an auxiliary verb, then there should be an infinitive after it, possibly the word not. And that's what we have here. Did not and an infinitive deserve. I can tell you that this is the correct answer. If you have a different answer, which I also think is correct, you can write to me and asked me to check it for you. If you think you've got the answer wrong, don't worry because we're going to do a lot more examples like this. I'll see you using my ten step technique and keyword transformation 26. 28. Prevent + someone + from + verbing: Keyword transformation 26. You should take a minute and write down this question. Pause the video to do that. When you have done it to press play and continue watching the case, I hopefully you've done that. Now what we're going to do is we're going to find the answer to this question using my ten step technique. Step one. Read the example sentence and the sentence with the missing information. Example sentence. Celebrities regularly where dark losses so that people don't recognize them. Sends it through the missing information. Celebrities regularly where dark glasses. Then step two puts a line through the duplicates information in both sentences. The top sentence and the bottom sentence. Take a minute to do this. You can pause the video and then you put a line through words which are the same in both sentences. Press play. Hopefully you've done that. Now. These other words, which I put a line through that parties regularly where dot crosses them. Step three. Identify the type of word they give you. Is it the noun, verb and adjective, etc. We have to prevent what type of word is prevent. Again, pause the video, write down what type of what do you think when you've done that? Press Play? The word prevent is a it's an infinitive form. Step number four is the word prevent used in any common collocations and expressions, phrasal verbs, etc. Write down all of these that you can think of. And again, you can pause the video and take a few minutes to do this. When you're ready, press play. The words which I've written down prevent someone from verbing. That's often the case when we have the wet prevent that there's a person after. And then from then a verbing. Step number five. I'd like you to now try to complete the gap. And we're going to use the keyword prevent the words with outer line through the example sentence. And the rest of the information we've gathered in the first four steps to help us with this. Take a minute and try to complete the gap. When you're ready, press play. Hopefully you've done that. The words that I've written in the gap prevent people from recognizing. Prevent people from recognizing. It doesn't matter if you've written different words. Yours may also be correct. But I'm going to continue with the steps in this technique using the words I've written here. And you can do the same with my words here or with your own words. Step number six. If you're not sure about the answer, try asking yourself a question using the information you have. You can take a minute again and tried to create two question based on the information that we now have and based on the gap which you filled in. So try to write a full question. Take a minute or so to do this. When you have done it, continue watching this video and we'll see what question I ask myself. The question I've asked myself is, why do celebrities often wear dark glasses? It doesn't matter if you've written a different question. But the important thing is the next step, step number seven, we're going to try to write a full answer to our question. So take a minute and write to finance to your question, and I will do the same here. When you're ready, continue watching this video. Hopefully you've done that. Now the answer to my question based on the information we have is that celebrities regularly where dark glasses to prevent people from recognizing. I can see in my answer that I have many of the same words that I had in the gap that I had to fill, but I was missing the word to. So that's a really important word and that could help get me an extra mark in this question. I've now put the two into the answer. Step number eight. Can I now put a line through the remaining words in the example sentence and in my own sentence. Take a minute and see if you can do this yourself. I've now put a line through all of the example sentence. So the people who don't recognize them as very similar to saying to prevent people from recognizing. Step number nine. Is the overall meaning of our complete sentence, the same as the overall meaning of the example sentence. The example sentence, celebrities regularly wet dark glasses so that people don't recognize them. My sentence, celebrities regularly where clauses to prevent people from recognizing them. Yes, I would say that the overall meaning is the same. And the final step in step number ten is to make sure that words be used on matching each other. As I said earlier, we often say prevent and then someone which is people in this circumstance from verbing, from recognizing. Yes, I think that's okay. I think the words match each other and I can tell you that this is the correct answer. If you have a different answer, but you also think is correct, you can write to me to check. Or if you think you got the answer wrong. Don't worry. Because we're going to do a lot more examples like this. And I'll see you in keyword transformation 27. 29. Mean + to + infinitive: Keyword transformation 27. You should write down this question, both parts on a piece of paper or on your computer when you've done that to continue watching this video. Okay, So hopefully you've written it down. Now we're going to try and answer this question using my ten step technique. So step number one, read the example sentence and the sentence with the missing information. Example sentence. It's obvious I shot myself in the hand by accident. Sentence with the missing information. I obviously myself in that step number two, put a line through the duplicate information in both sentences. It's obvious I shot myself in the end by x and I obviously myself in the hand. Put a line through any information you find which is the same in the top sentence and the bottom sentence. And hopefully you have done that so we can see what words I put a line through. So I put a line through, obvious and I myself in the hand. Now step number three is to identify the type of width they give us. Mean. What type of word is me? Write down. What type of where do you think it is? When you've done that? Continue watching the video. The word mean is a verb. It can also be an adjective or a noun. Tricky. That maybe doesn't help us too much. Step number four. Is the word mean used in any common collocations, expressions, phrasal verbs, etc. Write down any you could think of with the word mean. You can take a few minutes to do this. If you think there are lots, then try to think of one which may be appropriate to our example of sentences. You've done that to continue watching the video. Okay? Hopefully you've done that. I've written down mean plus two plus infinitive, because we often say mean to and then an infinitive in English. Those four steps are going to now help us to complete the gap, which is step number five. Use the information we've gone through and gathered in the last four steps along with the keyword mean and the information without the line through in the example sentence. To try to complete this sentence, you can take a minute to do this. When you have done it. Continue watching this video. Hopefully you've done that. Now let's have a look at what words I wrote in the gap. I wrote did not mean to shoot. It doesn't matter if you've written different words. Nodes may also be correct. You can continue using the next steps of this technique with your own words or with my words here. Step number six. If you're not sure about an answer, try asking yourself a question using the information you have. So take a minute and write down a question that maybe as appropriate to the information we have here now. And when you've done that, continue watching the video. And I'll show you what question I have written down. Hopefully you've done that. The question I've written down as did I mean, to shoot myself in the end. It doesn't matter if you've written a different question. What's more important is following step number seven, which is to try to answer a question. Take a minute and write down a full length onsets your question. I will do the same when you've done that to continue watching the video. So hopefully you've done that. The answer to my question is this. No, I did not mean to shoot myself in the hand. We can see here that the words I've used to answer my question are the same as the words I've put to fill in the gap did not mean to shoot. That's a good sign. Step number eight. Can we now put a line through all the remaining information in the example sentence. If it is duplicated in the sentence we've completed, take a minute and put it in line through any duplicates information remaining. When you've done that, continue watching the video. So I've now put the line through the word shot because we have chute, which is very similar. Actually by accident is very similar to saying did not mean to. But I haven't put a line through that because the words aren't exactly the same, but it doesn't matter. Let's move on to step number nine. Is the overall meaning of all completed sentence the same as the overall meaning of the examples and the example sentence. It's obvious I shot myself in the hand by accident. And our sentence I obviously did not mean to shoot myself in the hand. Well, yes. I would say that these two sentences do have the same meaning. The final step, step number ten, make sure the words we use match each other is an auxiliary verb and it's followed with the infinitive mean. That's okay. And as we said earlier, mean is often followed by two and an infinitive. And here we have mean to shoot. That's okay as well. I can tell you. That did not mean to shoot. Is the correct answer. You should keep the word shoot there and don't be confused. And it has a line through it did not mean to shoot. If you have a different answer, what do you think is correct? Feel free to write to me and asked me to check. If you think you've got the answer wrong. Don't worry, because we're going to do lots more examples like this one using my ten step technique. I'll see you in keyword transformation 28. 30. Can't stand + verbing: Keyword transformation 28. You should write down this question on your computer or on a piece of paper. When you've done that, continue watching this video. Step one, read the example sentence and the sentence, the missing information. I hate it when I'm ill. Step to put a line through the duplicate information in both sentences. Let's take a minute and where you see words in the top sentence and then the bottom sentence. Put a line through both of them. When you've done that. Continue watching this video. I put a line through the words I and ill. Step three. Identify the type of work they give you. Stand, standard noun, a verb, an adjective, or a different type of word. Again, pause the video, write down what you think. When you're ready. Press Play. Stand is actually a verb or a noun. Step four. Is this word Stand used in any common collocations, expressions, phrasal verbs, etc. Think of as many as you can right now, pause the video and write them down and then see if any which may be more appropriate to this situation. When you're ready, press play. So hopefully you've done that. I've written down won't stand for and something. What stand for something? I've also written down can't stand and verb. These are two common times when we use the word Stand, which may be relevant to this situation. Step five. Now it's your turn to fill in the gap. You should do this using the information we've gathered in the first four steps, as well as the keyword stand the information in the example sentence, which doesn't have a line through it. So take a minute to complete the gap. When you've done that, press play, and we'll continue watching this video. Hopefully you've done that. The words that I've put in the gap, our can't stand being. Don't worry if you've written down different words, yours may still be correct. And you can continue to use the next steps with your words that you've written. But I'm going to continue with the next steps in my technique using my words that I've written here. Step number six. If you're not sure about the answer, try asking yourself a question using the information you have. So take a minute and write down a question that could be relevant to the information that we have here now, including the words we filled in. When you've written down a question. Come back to this video and keep watching it and you will see what question I've written down. Hopefully you've written down a question and now we can have a look at what question I've written. So I wrote candle, I stand being ill. Now, step number seven, we need to try to answer our questions. So try to write a full answer to the question you wrote down in step six. I will do the same. Hopefully you've done that. The answer to my question is, no. I can't stand being ill. I can see here that the words I'm using can't stand being in my answer are the same as the words I've used to complete the gap. And that's a good sign. Step number eight, can I now put a line through the remaining information? Is there now duplicates information in the example sentence. And did my sentence, which doesn't have a line through it. Take a minute and check this for your sentence. And when you're ready, come back to this video. Hopefully you've done that. I put a line through hate because hate is another way to say can't stand. Or can stand is another way to say Hate. There are a few words which still don't have a line through, but that doesn't really matter so much. Let's move on to step number nine. Is the overall meaning of all completed sentence the same as the overall meaning of the examples in the example sentence. I hate it when I'm L. And the sentence we completed, I can't stand being ill. Yes. I would say that the overall meaning is the same. Finally, step number ten. Make sure the words we use match each other. I is followed by count. That's okay. And can't stand is followed by a verb ing being said, that's okay as well. I can tell you that this is the correct answer. If you have a different answer, don't worry, maybe yours is also correct and you can send it to me and asked me to check it. If you think you got the answer wrong. Also, don't worry cuz they're going to do some more examples like this using my ten step technique. And I'll see you in keyword transformation 29. 31. Comparative Structure: Keyword transformation 29. You should write down this question on a piece of paper or on your computer. When you've done that, come back to this video when continue watching. Hopefully you've written down both parts of this question. Now what we're going to do is try to answer it using my ten step technique. Step one, read the example sentence and the sentence, the missing information. Example sentence. Chloe didn't use to be so thin. Sentence with the missing information. Chloe is. Step two. Put a line through the duplicate information in both sentences. So take a minute and put a line through any information you find on the top sentence. And also in the bottom sentence and put a line through both. When you're ready, come back to this video and continue watching. Hopefully you've done that. I put a line through Chloe and B. Step three. Identify the type of word they give you. That. Then a noun, a verb, an adjective or something different. Take a minute, write down what you think. You're ready, keep watching. The web is actually a preposition or a conjunction. Step four. Is this word then used in any common collocations, expressions, phrasal verbs, etc. Write down all of the ones you can think of, and then highlight any that you think maybe or appropriate to this question. You can take a few minutes to do this and pause the video and when you're ready, press play. Hopefully you've done that. Now. We can see here that I've written down, we normally had a comparative adjective for the word that parents of adjective. And then then often step number five. It's now time to complete the gap using the word then the keyword, and the information without the line through the example sentence. And the information that we've gathered through the first four steps. So take a minute and write the words in the gaps that you think may be appropriate. And you can pause the video and then come back to the video when you're ready. And we'll have a look at what words I've written in the gap. Hopefully you've done that. The words that I've written in the cap are thinner than she used to. Thin then she used to. It doesn't matter if you've written down different words to mine. You can still use the next steps in my technique with your words. But I'm going to continue using the steps with my answer here. Step number six. Here, if you're not sure about the answer, try asking yourself a question. Using the information you have. Time to write down a question based on answer. Take a minute to do this and come back to the video when you're ready. I will do the same. Hopefully you've written down a question. Now we can see what question I've written down. I've written, is Chloe thinner than she used to be? Now in step number seven, we're going to try to answer this question. Again. You can pause the video, try to write a full sentence answer to your question. I will do the same here. And when you're ready, continue watching this video. Hopefully you've done that. Now. I've written down the answer. Yes. Chloe is thinner than she used to be. If we look at the words carefully, I've used the same words in my answer here as those that I've written in my answer above. Thinner than she used to. That's a positive sign. Step number eight, can we now put a line through all of the remaining information in the example sentence. And in our sentence we've completed. If they are duplicate. So can we find duplicates information? Take a minute, put a line through any duplicates information you'll find. I will do the same. Hopefully you've done that. I've now put a line through used to, which is input sentences and thin, which is in both sentences. There are a couple of words which I haven't put a line through, but I don't think that matters. Step number nine is the overall meaning of our completed sentence, the same as the overall meaning of the example sentence. The example sentence is Chloe didn't use to be so thin. The completed sentences, Chloe is thinner than she used to be. What this means is passed. She was fatter and now she is thinner. That is the same. That is what both sentences mean. So good. I think they do have the same meaning. Finally, step number ten to the words we use match each other. Then comes off to a comparative adjective. That's what we have here, a comparative adjective, thinner and then the word then she used to is also okay, we have a subject and then used to and an infinitive in the positive. And that is what we have here. Subject she used to. And an infinitive be. I can tell you that this answer is the correct answer. Thinner than she used to. If you have a different answer, don't worry. Yours may still be correct. You can write to meet it, asked to check that for you. Or if you think you've got it wrong. Also, don't worry because we're going to do some more examples just like this. Using my ten step technique to passing these questions, I'll see you in keyword transformation, fatty. 32. A Different Comparative Structure: Keyword transformation. You should write down this question on your piece of paper or on your computer. When you've done that, come back to the video and continue watching. Hopefully you've done that. We're going to now try and answer this question using my ten step technique. Step one. Read the example sentence and the sentence with the missing information. Examples sentence. This question is much easier than the last one. Sentence we need to complete. This question is, last one step to put a line through the duplicate information in both sentences. Take a minute and pause the video and put a line through all the information you find, which is the same in the top sentence and the bottom sentence. And when you've done that, you can continue watching. Hopefully you've done that. Now we can see that I've put a line through this question is and the last one. Step three, identify the type of word they give you. Is it's a noun, a verb, an adjective. Nearly. What type of word is nearly? And again, you can pause this video, take a minute, write down what type of word it is, and when you're ready, continue on. I can tell you that nearly is an adverb. You will find that many words in English ending LY adverbs. Understanding what types of the way is really useful for improving your English generally and for improving your use of English skills. Step four. Is this word nearly used in any common collocations, expressions, phrasal verbs, etc. Pause the video again and write down any that you can think of with the width nearly. And I'll do the same. And then you can see if you have lots, maybe trying to think of ones which are more important in the context of this question. And then continue watching and we'll see what I've written down. I've actually written down, no, I couldn't think of any common collocations, expressions or phrasal verbs. And nearly, if you think you have some great, you can always write to me and asked me to see if they're correct or not. Step number five is to try to complete this sentence. We need to do this using the keyword, nearly the words without a line through them in the example sentence. And also the knowledge that we've gathered over the last four steps. You can take a minute to do this. Pause the video, fill in the gap, and when you're ready, press play. Hopefully you've done that. Now we can have a look at what words I've put in the gap. I've written. Nearly as easy as it doesn't matter if you've written different words. Yours may also be correct. But we can continue using the steps in the technique either with your own words or with me. In this video, I'm going to do them with my words here. Step number six, if you're not sure about the answer, try asking yourself a question using the information you have. I'm going to write a question based on this sentence which I've completed. You should do the same. You've done that, continue watching this video. Hopefully you've done that. Now the question that I've created based on this information is this question nearly as easy as the last one? Now step seven, we're going to try and write an answer to this question. Take a minute to write a full length answer to your question, and I will do the same here. And when you're ready, press play. And we'll see what my answer is. Let's have a look at the answer that I've written. No, This question is not nearly as difficult as the last one. My answer to this question, I've realized there are a couple of words that may have been missing. When I complete it this sentence earlier. I've added these in. Now the sentence I filled in has the same words at the sentence I wrote at the bottom. Let's have a look at step eight. Can I now put a line through all of the information that is duplicate in both sentences. Or can I put a line through any more information? You should pause this video and do the same for your sentences. Then come back and see what words I put a line through. Hopefully you've done that. I've now put a line through much easier than because much easier than is similar to saying, not nearly as difficult as. Step number nine, is the overall meaning of your completed sentence, the same as the overall meaning of the example sentence. This question is much easier than the last one. The last one was more difficult. This question is not nearly as difficult as the last one. Yes. I think the overall meaning is the same. Step ten, final step. Make sure the words we use match each other. For example, if we use an uncountable noun, downright many before it, Okay? This question is not nearly as difficult as we have as an adjective. And as I know that that is correct for my English knowledge. And this question is the same as saying it. We have is off, that's fine. Or that was given to us. Yeah. I think that that's okay. I can tell you that this is the correct answer. Maybe you have a different answer which you also think is correct. And you can write to me and asked me to check it for you. If you didn't get the answer correct. Don't worry because we're going to do some more examples using my ten step technique. The more practice you do, the better you'll become. I'll see you in keyword transformation 31. 33. A lot of: Keyword transformation 31. You should write down this question, both sentences and the keyword on a piece of paper or on your computer. Pause the video to do that. And when you have done it, press Play and it will continue. Okay, So hopefully you've done that. Now we can have a look at my ten step technique. Step one. Read the example sentence and the sentence with the missing information. Examples sentence. Michael's mobile is very similar to mine. Sentence with the missing information. There is not Michael's mobile phone. And my step number two puts a line through the duplicates information in both sentences. If there's the same words and the top sentence and the bottom sentence put a line through those words. You can take a minute to do that. So pause the video now and when you have done it, press play. I put a line through Michael, It's my vault is minus three. Identify the type of word they give you. Lot. Is the word lot a noun, a verb, an adjective, or a different type of wet. And again, pause the video, have a think, write down what type of work do you think a lot is? When you're ready? Press play? Hopefully you've done that. I've written down here that is a pronoun, but it can also be an adverb or a noun or verb. Really useful to understand what times for the use of English and for English in general. Phi is doing some research them. If you're not so good at identifying what types. Step for this word. A lot used in any common collocations, expressions, phrasal verbs, etc. Take a minute and rights and down. If you can think of any, I can't think of any, then don't worry. But if you can write them down, and if you have lots, then try and think of which May 1 be appropriate in the context of this question. Take a few minutes to do that. You have done it, press Play, and then continue watching this video. Hopefully you've done that. Now. Let's have a look. I've written down a lot of, that's the most common expression that I could think of in English using lots and lots of. Hopefully these four steps will help us with step number five. So now it's your turn and time. To try and complete the gap. Use the keyword, used the words from the example sentence without a line through, and use the information we've gathered in the first four steps to complete the gap. And when you've done that, continue watching this video. Okay, so hopefully you've done that. Now we can see which words I write in the gap. I've written a lot of similarity between. It doesn't matter if you've written different words, you will, may still be correct. You can still use the next steps in this technique with your own words. But I'm going to use the next steps in the technique. My answer here, step number six. If you're not sure about the answer, try asking yourself a question using the information you have. Take a minute, write down a question relevant to what we've written here. You've done that to press play on the recording and we'll see what question I write down. Hopefully you've done that. The question I've written down is that a lot of similarity between Michael's firing and mine. Now in step number seven, we're going to try and answer this question. Again. Take a minute and try to write a full answer to your question that you've written down. And I will do the same here. Pause the video to do that and when you're ready, press play. Okay. So hopefully you've done that. Answer to this question. I have written yes. That is a lot of similarity between Michael's phone and mine. And I can see that the words I'm using in this answer are the same as the words I've written in the gap above. And that's a good sign. So step number eight, can I now put a line through the rest of the information in the example sentence. If it's the same as the information in my sentence, you should take a minute to do that as well. Put a line through any remaining duplicate information. When you've done that to continue watching. I've now put a line through similar because I have to watch some hierarchy, which I've written it into the gap. There are still some words which I haven't put a line through, but I don't think that that is step number nine is the overall meaning of our completed sentence, the same as the overall meaning of the example sentence. The example sentences, Michael's mobile is very similar to mine. My sentence is now completed. There is not a lot of difference between Michael's phone and mine. Okay. So it wasn't the same originally. It had said a lot of similarity. There's not a lot of similarity. But in fact, looking at first example sentence, there is a lot of similarity add to make it the opposite. So I changed similar to difference or similarity to difference. Now it does have the same meaning. There is not a lot of difference between my equals mobile phone and mine. Now it's similar. And that's why it's important to go through all ten steps in this technique because we've made a key difference. In step number nine. Step number ten, make sure the words we use match each other. Not a lot of a lot of his often followed by a noun. And we have that tear difference between is often used with two things. Michael's friend of mine. Two things. Yes. I think that's okay. All right. I can tell you that this is the correct answer. If you have another answer which you also think is correct, you can write to me and asked me to check it fully. If you didn't get this correct, don't worry because we're going to do a few more examples using my ten step technique, which you can practice with. I'll see you in keyword transformation 32. 34. The + superlative + noun: Keyword transformation 32. You should write down this question on a piece of paper or on your computer. So pause this video, take a minute to write it down. When you've done that, press play. Hopefully you've done that. Now we're going to go through it and find the answer using my ten step technique. Step one, read the example sentence and the sentence with the missing information. Example sentence. I've never known a man as clever as Monty. Sentence with missing information. Monty is node, puts a line through the duplicate information in both sentences. I've never known a man as clever as Monte. Monte is known. So if you see any words that are the same, the top sentence in the bottom sentence, put a line through them. When you've done that, continue watching. Hopefully you've done that. Now we can see which words I've put a line through. I put the line through known. And Monte. Step number three, identify the type of work they give you. Is the noun, a verb or an adjective? Again, you can pause this video and write down what you think. Maybe you think it's a different type of word. When you're ready press play. As I've written here, that is actually what we call a definite article in English. Step four. Is this word used in any common collocations, expressions, phrasal verbs, etc. Take a few minutes and write all of them down that you can think of. Also think if any are relevant in the context of this question. You're ready press play, and we'll see what I've written. I hopefully you've done that. We can see here that I've written the normally followed by a noun, maybe with an adjective between them. Step five. Now it's your turn to write the words into the gap. And you should do this using the keyword and the words without a line through an example sentence. And the information we've gathered in the first four steps. Take a minute to do this and when you're ready, continue watching this video. Hopefully you've done that. We can see now what words I've written in the gap. I've written. The cleverest man I have. It doesn't matter if you've written different words. You always may also be correct. You can continue using the rest of this technique with me, either with my answer here or with your own. Step number six. If you're not sure about your answer, try asking yourself a question using the information you have. Now we have to try to create a question based on this information that we've completed. Pause the video, take a minute, write down your question, and I will do the same. When you press play again, you'll see what question I have written. I've written. Have I ever known a man as clever as Monte? Now in step number seven, we get to answer this question. Again. Compose the video, write an answer to a question, and I will do the same. Hopefully you've done that. And the answer that I'm writing down here is, note. Monte is the cleverest man I have ever. Have I ever known a manners covers multi. I can see here that the words in my answer are the same words that I've used to fill in the gap. So that's quite a good sign. Step number eight, can I now put some line through all the remaining information? Is that information in the initial example sentence, which doesn't have a line through, which is the same now as the inflammation in the sentence I've completed, kind of put a line through both. Take a minute to try to do this when you're ready. Continue, which I've now put a line through. I've never, and a man is clever as monkey. So I've put a line through all of it because I think that the same words in my sentence that I have completed. Step number nine is the overall meaning of my completed sentence, the same as the overall meaning of the example sentence. I've never known a man as clever as Monty. The example sentence, and Monty is the cleverest man I have ever known. Yes, I would say that the overall meaning of those two sentences is the same. So I can move on to Step ten just to make sure the words we use match each other. So the cleverest is a superlative adjective. And it's often the article. And it's before a noun, man. That's good. And it's correct to say I have ever known with a past participle known after half past perfect tense. So it looks good to me. And I can tell you that this is the correct answer. If you have a different answer, maybe yours is also correct and you can write to me and ask me to check it for you. If you didn't get the answer correct. Don't worry, because we're going to do some more keyword transformation exercises together. I'll see you in keyword transformation 33. 35. Emphasis: Keyword transformation 33. You should take a minute and write down this question on your piece of paper or on your computer. When you've done that, continue watching this video. Hopefully you've written down both parts of this question. And now we're going to try to answer it using my ten step technique. Step one, read the example sentence and the sentence with the missing information. It was such an interesting documentary that I stayed up all night to finish it. I was that I stayed up all night to finish it. Step two puts a line through the duplicate information in both sentences. If you see any information in the top sentence, which is the same in the bottom sentence, put a line through both of them, and you can pause the video, take a minute to do that. When you're ready, press play. Hopefully you've done that. And I have put a line through was that I stayed up all night to finish it. Step three, identify the type of word they give you. So a noun, a verb, an adjective, or a different type of word. Write down what you think and when you're ready. Continue watching this video. I can tell you that the word is an adverb conjunction. You should learn about different word types in English because it can be really helpful for your English in general, as well as for use of English. Step for this, this word used in any common collocations, expressions, phrasal verbs, etc. So write down all of these that you can think of and highlight any that you think could be appropriate to this question. When you are ready, continue watching the video. Hopefully you've done that. I've written down is often followed with an adjective and then the word that. Step number five. Now it's your time to try and complete the gap. Use the keywords and the words and the example sentence which don't have a line through them. The information that we've gathered in the first four steps. Take a minute, pause the video, write down the words. Do you think when you're ready? Press play, and we'll see what words I write in the gap. Hopefully you've done that. And I've written so interested by the documentary. Okay. It doesn't matter if you've written different words because yours may also be correct. You can continue to use the steps in this technique with your words, but I'm going to continue doing them with mild. So here, step number six. If you're not sure about the answer, try asking yourself a question using the information you have. So I'm going to create a question about this topic from the information that I have, the information that I've used to complete the gap. You should do the same. Pause the video for a minute, write down a decent question about this topic from the information we have here. And when you're ready, press play. And we'll see what question I've written down. Hopefully you've done that. The question I've written is, what's i so interested by the documentary that I stayed up all night to finish it. In step seven, we're going to try and answer this question. Again. Pause the video, take a minute to write the full length answer to your question. Then press play and we'll see what my answer is. Okay? The answer I've written to this question is yes. I was so interested by the documentary that I stayed up all night to finish it. I can see here that I have the same words in my answer as those that I've written to fill in the gap. That's a good sign. Step number eight. Can I now put a line through all the remaining information? Is there any information now in the example sentence and in my complete attendance, which is duplicate, take a minute, tried to cross out that information that you have. And then we'll see what what words I put a line through. Hopefully you've done that. I've put a line through interesting documentary. There are still a couple of words which don't have a line through, but I don't think Matt two important. So we can move on to step number nine. Is the overall meaning of the two sensors the same? Yes. I think the overall meaning is the same. Step number ten, words match each other. I was interested by, that's okay. You can also say interested in we have so the adjective ingested a few more words and then fat. So that's good. Also, I can tell you that this answer is the correct answer. Maybe you have a different tonsil, which is also correct. So you can write to me and asked me to check it for you. If you didn't get the answer correct, don't worry, you can find lots more keywords, transformations on the Internet. And I in fact have created lots more myself. Thank you for watching this. I'm really hope you enjoyed it. I'll see you again soon. Bye bye.
