ADVICE or ADVISE?- Confusing English Words #shorts

ADVICE or ADVISE?- Confusing English Words #shorts

ADVICE and ADVISE can be confusing! Today, I want to talk about the difference between "advice" and "advise". The two words are very similar looking, and they sound very similar too, but there is a difference between them. Advise is a verb, and advice is a noun. Notice the difference in pronunciation. "Advice" is pronounced with an "s" sound at the end, while "advise" is pronounced with a "z" sound at the end. "Advise" is a verb and it means to make a suggestion about what you think someone should do or how they should do it. For example: • My doctor advised me to take some time off work. "Advice" is the thing. Advice is the suggestion about what you think someone should do or how they should do it. • My doctor's advice was to take some time off work. • Can you advise me on how to improve my English writing? • Can you give me some advice on how to improve my English writing? I hope that helps. Thanks for watching.

How to Form Questions in English. A Simple Guide.

How to Form Questions in English. A Simple Guide.

Forming questions in English can be tricky, but don't worry! In this video, I explain how to form closed questions, which are questions that can be answered with a simple yes or no. I cover how to invert the subject and the verb, when to use auxiliary verbs, and how to use "do" and "does" in questions. This guide is perfect for A2 level ESL learners and above who want to improve their English grammar skills. Here is a transcript of the video to help you follow along: Hi folks, Charlie here. Today, I want to talk about forming questions in English. This can be a little bit tricky, and I get a lot of questions about this. Today, we're going to look at how to form closed questions. Those are questions that you can answer with a simple yes or no. So here's the rule: If a statement uses the verb "be" or some kind of helper verb or auxiliary verb such as "has," "will," "could," then we're inverting the subject and the helper verb or the verb "be." Any other question is formed by using "do" or "does." For example, the statement, the sentence, "You are Indian." Here we are using the verb "be." To make a question, we invert the subject, "you," and that verb "be." So we swap them around, and the question becomes, "Are you Indian?" Okay, let's look at an example with an auxiliary verb, a helper verb. So here's a statement: "She has finished work." Here we're using the auxiliary, the helper verb "has." The question form of that statement would be, "Has she finished work?" To form that question, you can see we're... Here's an example of a statement that doesn't use the verb "be" or an auxiliary verb: "They live in Paris." So their main verb is "live." In this situation, we don't invert the subject and the verb. We cannot say, "Live they in Paris." We add "do" or "does." In this case, we add "do." So, "Do they live in Paris?" Here's another example: "She plays the piano." Here we're not using the verb "be" or an auxiliary verb, a helper verb. So we're using "do" or "does." In this case, it's "Does she play the piano?" A quick review of how to form questions. I hope that helps.

Idioms - SEE EYE TO EYE - what does it mean?

If I see eye to eye with you, does that mean that I'm looking you directly in the eyes today? I want to look at the idiom "see eye to eye." Now, idioms are tricky because they don't have a literal meaning.

That means we can't figure out the meaning of the phrase from the words that are in it.

The phrase "to see eye to eye with someone" simply means that you agree with them, that you have the same opinion as them.

Here are a few examples to illustrate how we use it:  

 • I don't see eye to eye with my father on politics.

 • Management and the employees need to see eye to eye on the company's goals and objectives.

 • He never saw eye to eye with his sister on many things, but they still love and respect each other.

I hope that helps. Thanks for watching. See you next time!

Phrasal Verb - CUT OFF - English Vocabulary #shorts

Phrasal Verb - CUT OFF - English Vocabulary #shorts

Today I want to look at the phrasal verb "cut off." Phrasal verbs are tricky because they have different meanings in different contexts. Today, we're looking at the top three ways that we use "cut off." #1) "cut off" means to remove something by cutting it. Here are a couple of examples: • He had his finger cut off in an accident at work. • You should cut the tops off carrots before you cook them. #2) if you "cut someone off," you interrupt them when they're speaking and stop them from continuing. For example: • The teacher cut off the student who was talking too much in class. • My friend cut me off mid-sentence when I was telling a story. #3) "cut off" means to disconnect or to stop the flow of something. For example: • The storm cut off the electricity in the whole neighborhood. • As a punishment, his parents cut off his internet access for a whole week. So, "cut off" generally means to disconnect, interrupt, or remove something. I hope that helps.
