Let's look at the dialogue.

1:13
I'll send you a message with the directions and other details.

Here's my number just in case you need to reach me.
2:15

2:18
Let's focus on the key part of the conversation.
2:22
This character is asking this character
2:26
if she'd like to join him
2:28
and a group of friends for dinner.
2:30
When she says she's interested, he says, "All right.
2:35
Right now, we're thinking of meeting up at Main Street Pizza on Saturday at
2:39
8:00 p.m.
2:41
First, he introduces the basic idea of the plan by saying,
2:45
"We're thinking of meeting up."
2:47
and then he gives explicit details about the invitation at Main Street Pizza on
2:53
Saturday at 8:00 p.m.
2:55
In this lesson, you'll learn how to make these kinds of invitations.
3:00
Let's look at the sentence pattern.
3:02
This pattern is the structure that our examples will follow.
3:06
We're thinking of meeting up at place.
3:10
Let's see how a line from the dialogue follows this pattern.
3:14
We're thinking of meeting up at Main Street Pizza.
3:18
This pattern is often used when casually making plans with friends.
3:22
Now, let's look at some speaking examples.
3:25
Susan and I were thinking of meeting up at Union Cinema on Friday at
3:30
8:30 p.m.
3:31
Can you see how the pattern applies here?
3:34
Now, imagine people are talking about where to eat.
3:38
Some of us were thinking of having lunch at Greenberger on Tuesday at 1
3:42
p.m.
3:44
Let's try one more.
3:46

You'll learn how in just a moment.
4:34
Hi, my name is Alicia
4:35
and in this lesson you'll learn how to speculate about something through a quick
4:39
conversation.
4:40
Let's look at the dialogue.
4:43
So, you grew up around here?
4:45
Yeah, I'm a real New Yorker.
4:48
You should know this town better than anyone then.
4:52
Well, I wouldn't say that.
4:55
Come on then.
4:55
What's your recommendation?
4:58
My friends and I usually just go to Greenberger.
5:01
Let's go over the dialogue again more slowly this time.
5:05
So, you grew up around here?
5:09
Yeah, I'm a real New Yorker.
5:12
You should know this town better than anyone then.
5:17
Well, I wouldn't say that.
5:20
Come on then.
5:21
What's your recommendation?
5:24
My friends and I usually just go to Greenber.
5:28
Let's focus on the key part of the conversation.
5:32
This character is asking this character if she's from New York City.
5:38
When she says yes, he says, "You should know this town better than anyone."
5:43
Then because he doesn't know for sure if she knows the town well,
5:48
he says should.
5:49
It's a kind of guess that he expects to be true.
5:52
In this lesson, you'll learn how to make statements like this.
5:56
Let's look at the sentence pattern.
5:59
This pattern is the structure that all of our examples will follow.
6:03
Subject should bear infinitive.
6:06
Let's see how a line from the dialogue follows this pattern.
6:11
You should know better than anyone.
6:14
This pattern is used when using personal expectations to speculate about something.
6:19
Now, let's look at some speaking examples.
6:22
The character is speaking with someone about what they think the weather will be
6:26
like.
6:26
The temperature should be cold.
6:29
Can you see how the pattern applies here?
6:32
Now, imagine they're talking about their order at a restaurant.
6:36
I don't think dinner should be too late.
6:38
I don't think dinner should be too late.
6:43
Let's try one more.
6:45
The pizza should be tasty.
6:47
The pizza should be tasty.
6:50
Another one.
6:52
The test should be easy.
6:54

7:38
Hi, my name is Alicia
7:40
and in this lesson you'll learn how to discuss purpose through a quick conversation.
7:46
Let's look at the dialogue.
7:49
So, what are you doing here in New York, Jack?
7:52
Learning about food.
7:53
When I go back home,
7:54
I'm going to open up the most extraordinary hamburger place in all of London.
7:59
You?
8:00
Back in China, I was studying to be a musician,
8:03
but I gave up on that dream.
8:05
Now, I'm setting up an agency to represent American artists in China.
8:10
What's that?
8:10
Sorry, I couldn't hear you.
8:12
It's pretty noisy here.
8:13
Well, I just want to start an artist management agency.
8:17
Is that so?
8:18
When I open up my restaurant,
8:19
I want a big stage to book live shows.
8:22
Maybe you can help me with that.
8:24
Sure.
8:25
By the way, where's Tess?
8:28
Tess?
8:29
She said she'd meet us later.
8:30
Had to go to the library so that she could drop off some books,
8:33
she said.
8:34
Let's go over the dialogue again, more slowly this time.
8:39
So, what are you doing here in New York, Jack?
8:43
Learning about food.
8:44
When I go back home,
8:46

8:58
Now, I'm setting up an agency to represent American artists in China.
9:03

9:04
Sorry, I couldn't hear you.
9:06
It's pretty noisy here.
9:08

9:21
Sure.
9:22

9:25
Tess?
9:26
She said she'd meet us later.
9:27
Had to go to the library so that she could drop off some books,
9:31
she said.
9:32
Let's focus on the key part of the conversation.
9:36
This character is talking to this character about their reasons for studying in New
9:41
York.
9:42
When asked about her reasons, this character says, "Back in China,
9:47
I was studying to be a musician, but I gave up on that dream.
9:51
Now I'm setting up an agency to represent American artists in China."
9:56
First, she talks about what she was doing in China.
9:59
I was studying.
10:01
And then she says, "Why?
10:03
To be a musician."
10:04
After this, she says what she's doing now.
10:08
I'm setting up an agency.
10:10
And why?
10:11
to represent American artists in China.
10:14
In this lesson, you'll learn how to explain reasons
10:17
and purposes in a similar way.
10:19
Let's look at the sentence pattern.
10:21
This pattern is the structure that all of our examples will follow.
10:26
Clause to bare infinitive compliment.
10:30
Let's see how a line from the dialogue follows this pattern.
10:34
I was studying to be a musician.
10:37
This pattern is used to describe the purpose of another action.
10:41
Now, let's look at some speaking examples.
10:44
First, I needed to go by the library to drop off some books.
10:49
Can you see how the pattern applies here?
10:52
Next, I'll go there early to reserve a table.
10:56
Let's try one more.
10:57
You don't always need to buy books to learn something.
11:01
Another one.
11:02
Bring this coupon to get in for free.
11:05

In this lesson, you've learned how to discuss plans in English.
11:15
Thanks for watching and see you in the next lesson.

Do you know how to express regrets in English?
11:36
I'll explain it in just a moment.
11:39
Hi, my name is Alicia and this is three-step English by Englishclass10101.com.
11:45
In this lesson, you'll learn how to express regrets through a quick conversation.
11:50
Let's look at the dialogue.
11:52
As you listen, pay attention to how they ask about the topic
11:56
and how the other person responds.
12:00
It's freezing in here.
12:02
I wouldn't say freezing.
12:04
I'd say it's a cool 53 degrees or maybe less. 53 degrees.
12:11
That's Fahrenheit.
12:13
I see.
12:14
Well, we should have gone to Greenberger.
12:17
They have a terrace there.
12:21
Yeah, but the terrace is always crowded.
12:25
We should have called and made a reservation.
12:28
Let's go over the dialogue again more slowly this time.
12:33
It's freezing in here.
12:36
I wouldn't say freezing.
12:39
I'd say it's a cool 53° or maybe less.
12:47
53°.
12:47
That's Fahrenheit.
12:50
I see.
12:52
Well, we should have gone to Greenber.
12:55
They have a terrace there.
12:58
Yeah, but the terrace is always crowded.
13:03
We should have called and made a reservation.
13:06
Let's focus on the key part of the conversation.
13:11
This character is talking to this character about where they are eating
13:16
and what they could have done instead.
13:19
This character is unhappy with where they are eating and says, "I see.
13:24
Well, we should have gone to Greenber.
13:26
They have a terrace there.
13:28
To do this, they say, "We should have gone."
13:32
This means that going to Greenberger was the better choice, but it wasn't made,
13:37
and the speaker now regrets not choosing it.
13:41
When this character says that the terrace is always crowded,
13:45
the response is another example of the pattern.
13:48
We should have called
13:50
and made a reservation. calling
13:53
and making a reservation was the correct choice,
13:56
but the time has passed and the correct decision was not made.
14:00
They're saying this to express regret that they did not make the correct decision.
14:06
Let's look at the sentence pattern.
14:08
This pattern is the structure that all of our examples will follow.
14:13
Subject should have past participle.
14:17
Should have helps us talk about missed chances or decisions we regret.
14:22
Notice that it has to be followed by the past participle form of the
14:26
verb.
14:27
This is important because the past participle indicates the action took place
14:32
or should have taken place in the past.
14:35
Let's see how a line from the dialogue follows this pattern.
14:39
We should have called and made a reservation.
14:42
In this sentence, we is the subject.
14:45
Called and made are the past participle forms.
14:50
Should have can also be contracted to should have.
15:03
You can only do this with the modal should have phrase.
15:06
In other uses like you should have three apples left,
15:10
you cannot use the contraction.
15:14
Now let's look at some speaking examples.
15:18
We should have met up a bit later.
15:20
Can you see how the pattern applies here?
15:23
We is the subject followed by should have.
15:27
Then met up is the past participle.
15:31
A bit later provides context on the time.
15:34
Let's look at another.
15:36
I should have taken my books back yesterday.
15:40
I should have taken my books back yesterday.
15:45
Let's try one more.
15:47
You should have made a reservation.
15:50
You should have made a reservation.
15:55
Another one.
15:56
They should have turned off the air conditioner.
16:00
They should have turned off the air conditioner.
16:05
One last example.
16:07
We should have ordered another pizza.
16:10
We should have ordered another pizza.
16:16
Now you know how to express regrets in English.

Do you know how to talk about whatifs in English?
16:41
Hi, my name is Alicia and this is three-step English by Englishclass101.com.
16:46
In this lesson, you'll learn talking about whatifs in English through a quick conversation.
16:53
Let's look at the dialogue.
16:55
As you listen, pay attention to how they ask about the topic
16:58
and how the other person responds.
17:02
Let's go to 10,000 Lanes after this.
17:04
But is it even open?
17:06
Could you check?
17:07
Their site says it's open until midnight.
17:11
How crowded is it?
17:12
When I go there, it's always crowded.
17:15
If it's crowded, we'll go somewhere else.
17:17
Could you call ahead?
17:19
Let's go over the dialogue again, more slowly this time.
17:24
Let's go to 10,000 lanes after this.
17:28
But is it even open?
17:30
Could you check?
17:32
Their site says it's open until midnight.
17:37
How crowded is it?
17:38
When I go there, it's always crowded.
17:42
If it's crowded, we'll go somewhere else.
17:45
Could you call ahead?
17:47
Let's focus on the key part of the conversation.
17:51
This person is asking this person whether the place they are planning to go
17:57
is crowded.
17:58
The person they're asking doesn't know.
18:01
So, they say if it's crowded, we'll go somewhere else.
18:06
If it's crowded sets a condition in a situation where it 10,000 lanes is
18:12
crowded then a result will happen.
18:15
We'll go somewhere else is the result.
18:18
Will is a contraction of we will.
18:21
It shows that the two will go somewhere else if it is crowded.
18:27
You can also swap the clauses without changing the meaning.
18:31
For example, we will go somewhere else if it is crowded.
18:36
Now let's look at some speaking examples.
18:40
If you all don't hurry, I'll just go ahead.
18:43
Can you see how the pattern applies here?
18:46
The sentence starts with if and then don't is the present simple verb.
18:51
Note that unlike in the dialogue,
18:54
the entire contraction of don't is considered as the verb.
18:59
That's because in the dialogue,
19:00
the contractions were combining pronouns with verbs like will being we plus will.
19:07
In the case of don't, it combines do and not.
19:12
Here do is the verb and not changes it to the negative form.
19:17
After that, we have another contraction of a pronoun
19:20
and verb in ile
19:22
which is I plus will.
19:25
Will is the modal verb
19:27
and just go ahead is the action they'll take in this whatif situation.
19:33
Next, if they put us near the smoking section, I'll ask to move.
19:38
If they put us near the smoking section, I'll ask to move.
19:44
Let's try one last example.
19:47
If it looks like rain, I'll bring an umbrella.
19:50
If it looks like rain, I'll bring an umbrella.
19:57
Now you know how to talk about whatifs in English.
