Hi everybody, my name is Alisha. |
Welcome to the "2000 Core English Words and Phrases" video series. |
Each lesson will help you learn new words, practice, and review what you've learned. |
Okay, let's get started. |
First is all day. |
All day. All day. |
All day is an expression that we use to talk about something that happens or a condition that continues for one day, from morning until we wake up, until the end of the day at night. |
Here's an example. |
I could play with my children all day long. |
I could play with my children all day long. |
I could play with my children all day long. |
Night time. Night time. Night time. |
Night time refers usually just to the time of day when it is dark outside, usually when we are asleep. |
So there's not a specific time for night time. |
It's usually just when it's dark and quiet. |
Here's an example. |
It's already night time. |
It's already night time. |
It's already night time. |
Day time. Day time. Day time. |
Day time is like the opposite of night time. |
It's the time when the sun is out and we can see things. |
Usually this is the time when we go to work and school and so on. |
Here's an example. |
I just can't sleep during the day time. |
I just can't sleep during the day time. |
I just can't sleep during the day time. |
After. After. After. |
After is a word that we use to help us show the sequence of events. |
So when one thing happens, when we want to describe the next thing that occurs, we can use the word after to express that. |
Here's an example. |
He called her mother after the class was over. |
He called her mother after the class was over. |
He called her mother after the class was over. |
From now on. From now on. From now on. |
From now on is an expression that can also mean the same as starting now or from this point forward. |
So when we want to talk about a change or something new that is happening, we can talk about that with the expression from now on. |
Here's an example. |
Computers will be in our lives from now on. |
Computers will be in our lives from now on. |
Computers will be in our lives from now on. |
Before. Before. Before. |
Before, like after, helps us to express the sequence of actions. |
So when we want to talk about an action and something that happened just prior to that action, we can use before to express that. |
Here's an example. |
I eat breakfast every morning before I leave for work. |
I eat breakfast every morning before I leave for work. |
I eat breakfast every morning before I leave for work. |
Now. Now. Now. |
Now refers to this moment, the present, the current time. |
Here's an example. |
What do you want to do now? What do you want to do now? What do you want to do now? Often. |
Often. Often. |
Often means regularly. |
We use it to talk about our actions or our activities that we do pretty regularly, things that we do usually. |
Here's an example. |
He often goes to town by bicycle on Sunday. |
He often goes to town by bicycle on Sunday. |
He often goes to town by bicycle on Sunday. |
Usually. Usually. Usually. |
Usually expresses a kind of habit. |
It's something that we often do, but in a certain way. |
So we use this word to talk about the things that we do as like regular parts of our schedule. |
Here's an example. |
I don't usually eat breakfast. |
I don't usually eat breakfast. |
I don't usually eat breakfast. |
Winter. Winter. Winter. |
Winter is the cold season. |
So depending on your country and where you are in the world, winter might be at a different time of the year, but in some countries you might experience snow and very low temperatures. |
Here's an example. |
Winter is the season of shortest days and coldest temperatures. |
Winter is the season of shortest days and coldest temperatures. |
Winter is the season of shortest days and coldest temperatures. |
