0:17
Hi everybody.
0:17
Welcome back to Top Words.
0:19
My name is Alicia
0:20
and in this episode we're going to talk about 10 words
0:23
and expressions for talking about thoughts
0:26
and ideas.
0:27
So let's get started.
0:29
I have an idea.
0:31
The first expression is I have an idea.
0:34
I have an idea.
0:35
This is a really general expression you can use to introduce a new idea.
0:41
This is pretty casual,
0:43
but you can use it in slightly more formal situations as well.
0:47
I have an idea.
0:49
Let's get Thai food for lunch.
0:51
Or I have an idea.
0:54
Let's go to the beach this weekend.
0:56
I have an idea.
0:57
Let's take a nap.
0:59
In this example sentence, I have an idea.
1:02
Let's start a company.
1:04
I've been thinking.
1:06
The next expression is, I've been thinking.
1:09
I've been thinking.
1:10
You can use this to say, I've been thinking.
1:13
Dot dot dot.
1:14
And then begin an idea.
1:16
Or you can say, I've been thinking about topic.
1:20
I've been thinking about topic.
1:21
So, I've been thinking about finding a new job. or I've been thinking.
1:27
What do you want to do for summer vacation?
1:29
So, you can use it in a couple of different ways.
1:32
I've been thinking about or I've been thinking.
1:34
Both are okay.
1:35
So, in this sentence, I've been thinking about baking a cake all day.
1:40
Here's a thought.
1:42
The next word is here's a thought.
1:44
Here's a thought.
1:45
So, again, this is a word you can use to introduce an idea.
1:50
Here is a thought.
1:51
In other words, here is an idea, a thought from my mind.
1:55
Here you are.
1:56
Here's a thought.
1:57
So, you can use this to introduce an idea you have had.
2:01
Here's a thought.
2:02
Why don't you get a haircut?
2:05
In this example sentence, here's a thought.
2:08
Why don't you take tomorrow off?
2:10
What do you think?
2:12
The next expression is, what do you think?
2:15
What do you think?
2:16
Very common way to ask for someone's opinion.
2:20
What do you think?
2:22
We connect the words do and you quite uh closely in this expression.
2:27
What do you think?
2:28
What do you think?
2:29
Sounds much more natural than what do you think.
2:32
So try to use what do you think.
2:35
So this is uh this is just a general way to ask for someone
2:39
else's opinion about anything really in a sentence.
2:43
I kind of want to eat something spicy for lunch.
2:46
What do you think?
2:49
You want to know what I think?
2:51
The next expression is you want to know what I think.
2:54
So, this is sort of a like a a challenge almost like it's asking
3:00
the other person,
3:01
do you want to know my opinion?
3:04
Do you want to know what I think?
3:06
Cuz I'll tell you only if you want to know.
3:10
So, you want to know what I think.
3:12
Uh or you can drop wanna and say you know what I think.
3:16
So, that you becomes y.
3:18
You know what I think?
3:19
You know, becomes you know.
3:21
So, you know what I think or you want to know what I think.
3:24
So, it's a little bit of a challenge,
3:26
a little bit of an introduction before you actually share your opinion.
3:30
In a sentence, you want to know what I think.
3:34
It's a terrible idea.
3:36
I've thought about this a lot.
3:38
The next expression is, I've thought about this a lot.
3:42
I've thought about this a lot.
3:44
In this expression, we're actually using the present perfect tense.
3:48
I've thought.
3:49
I've thought.
3:50
So that's I have thought about this.
3:53
Meaning I started thinking about this in the past
3:57
and my thinking has continued to the present.
4:00
I've thought about this a lot.
4:02
So this implies uh this tells the listener it's something
4:06
that has been on your mind for a
4:09
while.
4:09
I've thought about this a lot.
4:11
So your opinion is based on all of this past thinking.
4:16
So, something you have been thinking about for a long time.
4:20
In a sentence, I've thought about this a lot
4:23
and I really think you should quit the company.
4:27
I have no idea.
4:29
I have no idea.
4:31
I have no idea means I don't know.
4:34
But I have no idea means zero.
4:37
I have no information.
4:39
No ideas.
4:40
I can't think of anything.
4:42
Absolutely nothing.
4:43
No idea.
4:44
I have no idea.
4:45
So, this is typically used in response to a question for information like where's
4:51
your brother?
4:52
I have no idea.
4:55
Like, what did you do with the keys?
4:57
I have no idea.
4:59
So, some things like you just don't you have no information.
5:02
Absolutely no information.
5:04
You can say I have no idea.
5:06
I don't know.
5:07
Please note though that the idea part of this sentence is in the singular
5:12
form.
5:12
I have no idea.
5:14
We'll talk about why in just a moment,
5:16
but I have no idea to refer to having no information about something.
5:21
In another sentence, the best hotel in the city.
5:24
I have no idea.
5:26
I have no ideas.
5:28
The next expression is I have no ideas.
5:31
I have no ideas.
5:32
So, here different from I have no idea,
5:36
we're using the plural form ideas. ideas meaning someone is asking you for a
5:43
proposal.
5:44
Someone is asking you like to create something to make something perhaps.
5:49
So um they're asking for a suggestion
5:52
and if you don't have any suggestions nothing to propose you can say I
5:57
have no ideas.
5:58
I have no ideas.
5:59
So what do you want to do this weekend?
6:02
I have no ideas.
6:03
Or what do you want to eat for lunch?
6:05
I have no ideas really.
6:07
So, if you don't have any ideas, nothing to propose,
6:10
you can use this with an s at the end of ideas.
6:14
In another sentence, something to do this weekend.
6:17
I have no ideas.
6:19
I don't know.
6:20
The next expression is I don't know.
6:22
I don't know.
6:23
So, Michael and I talked about this in an episode of English Topics many
6:27
years ago,
6:28
but I don't know is I don't know.
6:31
The casual contracted version of I don't know.
6:35
I don't know.
6:36
I don't know.
6:36
I don't know.
6:37
So, we use this when we don't know the answer to something.
6:41
I don't know.
6:42
Or when we just want to kind of like relieve pressure
6:45
or when we're when
6:47
when we're out of things to say
6:49
as well.
6:50
I don't know.
6:51
So, when we're like not feeling sure, not feeling confident as well,
6:55
we can use this phrase in a sentence.
6:57
Why are you asking me?
6:59
I don't know.
7:00
I knew it.
7:02
The last expression is I knew it.
7:05
I knew it.
7:06
So here we're using the past tense of know.
7:09
The verb to know something meaning to understand or to comprehend.
7:14
We're using the past tense knew.
7:16
I knew it.
7:17
So we use this expression
7:19
when we guessed correctly about something
7:22
or when something we thought was true uh is proven to be correct.
7:28
So I knew it.
7:29
I knew it.
7:30
So this is typically said with a positive positive um voice.
7:34
You hear this a lot in movies as well, I think.
7:37
All right.
7:38
In a sentence, you had my keys.
7:40
I knew it.
7:42
So, those are 10 words
7:44
and expressions that you can use for talking about your thoughts
7:47
and ideas.
7:48
So, I hope that's helpful.
7:50
Um, if you like,
7:51
you can try to make an expression with one of these in the comment
7:55
section below the video.
7:56
Let us know if you have any other ideas as well.
7:59

Thanks very much for watching this episode of Top Words
8:12
and I will see you again soon.
8:26
Bye-bye.
8:27
Hi everybody.
8:28
Welcome back to Top Words.
8:29
My name is Alicia
8:30
and in this episode we're going to talk about 10 words for injuries.
8:34
So let's get started.
8:37
Break.
8:38
Fracture.
8:39
The first word is break or fracture.
8:42
So these two verbs are used interchangeably.
8:46
Actually they both refer to a broken bone or a fractured bone.
8:51
So two pieces of bone become separated or a bone becomes broken.
8:56
So fractured it comes apart.
8:59
So to break a bone in present tense is I broke a bone in
9:03
past tense.
9:04
Fracture is a regular verb which means the past tense is fractured.
9:09
So in a sentence, I broke my wrist when I fell snowboarding.
9:14
That's true.
9:15
That's true.
9:16
I broke my wrist when I fell snowboarding.
9:18
And that inspired today's lesson.
9:22
Sprain.
9:23
The next word is sprain.
9:25
Sprain. to sprain something refers to a refers to hurting
9:31
or to injuring a ligament.
9:33
So a ligament are these sort of like fibrous things like kind of uh
9:38
they connect they're the parts of the body inside your body.
9:42
They connect bones to muscles or bones to or to like organs.
9:48
They hold the parts of the body together inside.
9:52
So a sprain is damage to a ligament, a sprain.
9:57
So we can say um for example to sprain a part of the body,
10:02
a specific part of the body.
10:04
Um some common examples come from sports injuries like he sprained his ankle playing
10:10
basketball last week or I sprained my wrist uh working in the garden
10:16
or something.
10:16
I don't know.
10:17
But I think a sprain happens
10:19
when you push the like the joint
10:23
or you push that part of the body beyond the possible
10:27
or the reasonable range of motion.
10:30
So my example sentence, I already said it,
10:32
but he sprained his ankle at the basketball game last week.
10:37
Bruise.
10:38
The next word is bruise.
10:40
Bruise.
10:40
So, a bruise refers to taking like a taking an impact,
10:45
something that's not a sharp impact.
10:47
It's usually like a blunt impact, I suppose.
10:50
I don't know.
10:51
It kind of depends.
10:51
But anyway, a bruise,
10:53
we can use it as a noun or as a verb, actually.
10:56
Uh to bruise something means you damage usually like a this the a certain
11:02
area of skin and blood collects under the skin creating like a black
11:08
or blue or maybe even like greenish color purple maybe.
11:13
To use it as a noun we can say
11:14
that that spot is a bruise.
11:17
We refer to that damaged area
11:19
as a bruise. to use it
11:21
as a verb.
11:21
However, we can say I bruised my arm or I bruised my leg.
11:27
So, to bruise something means to cause damage, but it's like under the skin.
11:31
We can see the color change because of the damage, the blood collecting there.
11:36
So, that's to bruise something in a sentence.
11:39
I bruised my arm when I ran into the door.
11:44
Cut.
11:45
The next word is cut.
11:46
Cut.
11:47
So cut is done with a sharp object.
11:50
A cut, a cut refers to an injury which causes blood to emerge usually,
11:57
unless it's a very shallow cut.
12:00
Shallow is the opposite of deep.
12:02
So a cut is caused by a sharp object.
12:05
So a knife is probably the most common thing
12:08
that comes to mind
12:10
when talking about cuts.
12:12
Um though another very common type of cut is is called a paper cut
12:17
as a noun.
12:18
So uh if you've ever tried to take a piece of paper
12:22
and the p the piece of paper has kind of made a small cut
12:27
on your hand that's called a paper cut.
12:30
A paper cut.
12:31
So uh it's that kind of slice motion
12:34
that injures the body is a cut.
12:37
All right. in a sentence.
12:38
Be careful not to cut yourself when using a knife.
12:43
Wound.
12:44
The next word is wound.
12:46
Wound.
12:47
So, a wound is just a place of injury on the body.
12:52
Um, we have a couple of different words we can use to be specific
12:56
about wounds.
12:57
They're like an open wound and a closed wound, I suppose you could say.
13:02
But, um, usually people say things like, "Don't touch open wounds."
13:06
So an open wound is usually like a fresh wound.
13:10
So something has been recently damaged on the body,
13:14
recently injured and the wound is fresh.
13:16
Maybe we can see blood
13:18
or maybe we can see into the body
13:20
or something.
13:21
That's considered an open wound.
13:23
So a closed wound would be perhaps a wound
13:26
which has been fixed by a doctor.
13:28
Or for small wounds like uh maybe the body has created a a new
13:33
layer over the top of the wound.
13:35
That's called a scab.
13:36
Ew.
13:37
Ew.
13:37
Scabs.
13:38
Ew.
13:39
Uh but that's that's not an open wound then,
13:41
but we should still care for it.
13:43
So a wound is a place on the body
13:46
that is injured in some way.
13:48
A wound.
13:48
Um that's used as a noun.
13:50
We can also use wound
13:51
as a verb which means um to hurt something like um I wounded my
13:58
arm but wound is not
14:01
so common I think in everyday speech.
14:03
Instead we use the verb hurt.
14:05
I hurt my arm.
14:06
But I'll talk more about this later.
14:08
So in a sentence don't touch open wounds.
14:13
Injure.
14:14
The next word is injure.
14:15
Inger.
14:16
So I've been talking a little bit about the word injure.
14:20
To injure means to hurt a part of the body.
14:24
So to injure your arm, to injure your head, to injure your neck.
14:29
These mean uh to take damage on that part of the body,
14:33
to injure something.
14:35
Um so it's typically a bad thing to injure something.
14:40
Uh the noun form of this word is injury.
14:43
Injury.
14:43
So I have an injury.
14:45
We use this word more with uh like perhaps sports I guess military.
14:51
Yeah, I guess so.
14:52
Um but for for everyday like just small I don't know for small injuries
14:57
I suppose like paper cuts for example
14:59
or like maybe a cooking accident um I suppose we don't really say injury
15:05
we will say we'll use the verb um hurt actually again I'll talk about
15:09
that word a little later
15:10
but injury injury is damage taking damage to a part of the body in
15:15
a sentence she injured her shoulder this morning tear the next word is tear
15:21
Tear.
15:22
Tear.
15:22
Be careful.
15:23
This word is spelled te e a r.
15:25
It looks like tear uh but used as a verb.
15:28
It is tear.
15:28
Tear to talk about an injury.
15:30
So a tear if you can imagine like a piece of paper.
15:34
When we want to uh separate it into two pieces,
15:38
we can tear the piece of paper.
15:41
Now imagine that same idea but with a muscle in the body.
15:46
So a muscle tear refers to that kind of damage to the muscle.
15:50
So quite painful I think you can imagine.
15:52
So to tear a muscle requires yeah some serious recovery time I imagine.
15:58
I have never torn a muscle.
16:00
Yeah that's a good point.
16:01
The past participle form is torn.
16:04
Torn.
16:04
Have you ever torn a muscle?
16:06
Uh or the past tense the past tense is tore.
16:10
I tore my shoulder muscle last week.
16:13
I don't know.
16:14
Awful.
16:14
Awful.
16:15
In a sentence tearing a muscle is painful.
16:19
Pull, pull, pull.
16:22
So we use pull again with muscles, but this is different from tear.
16:27
So to tear a muscle refers to this kind of break motion.
16:31
So to pull a muscle means to stretch a muscle too much.
16:34
So it the muscle is like just taken beyond uh its limits essentially
16:40
and so it kind of causes some discomfort.
16:43
There's kind of a bad feeling in the muscle.
16:45
Uh in a sentence, I think I pulled a muscle.
16:50
Ouch.
16:50
Dislocate.
16:51
Dislocate.
16:52
Dislocate.
16:53
So here we see the word locate referring to location and dis.
16:58
Dis which means not in other words.
17:00
So to dislocate something refers to removing a part of the body from its
17:06
correct position and shifting it slightly.
17:09
So this is something that you hear uh with joints.
17:13
So a joint is a part of the body where two things come together.
17:18
So for example um a shoulder we can talk about the shoulder
17:22
and dislocate together.
17:24
So if we say a sentence like I think I dislocated my shoulder maybe
17:28
the correct position of part of the shoulder is to fit into another bone
17:33
like this.
17:33
But maybe dislocating the shoulder means like it moved this way
17:37
or I don't know how to dislocate a shoulder.
17:39
But either way the correct position is here.
17:42
The dislocated position is maybe here or here.
17:45
I don't know.
17:46
But so the bone is not broken.
17:48
There's no crack.
17:50
There's no break there.
17:51
It's just a shift in position.
17:54
So the word we use is dislocate.
17:56
To dislocate something in a sentence,
17:59
he dislocated his shoulder and popped it back into place.
18:05
Hurt.
18:06
Hurt.
18:06
To hurt something.
18:08
I've talked about this verb a few times already in this lesson,
18:11
but to hurt means to injure or to wound.
18:14
It's like the very general verb
18:16
that we can use to describe all damage to the body.
18:20
So hurt generally means kind of a small injury like ah I hurt my
18:26
finger.
18:26
I I slammed it in the door
18:28
or I think I hurt my arm playing tennis last week.
18:32
We usually use this for kind of minor injuries, not such big injuries.
18:37
So in this case, for example, if I say,
18:39
"I hurt my wrist," it sounds a little too minor.
18:43
Actually, this is probably a more severe injury.
18:46
I would probably say, "Yeah, I uh I broke my wrist."
18:50
I would use something very specific instead of hurt.
18:53
To refer more generally to just small everyday damage to the body,
18:57
you can say hurt.
18:59
Um, we also use this word to refer to pain in the body, too.
19:03
Like, ow, my arm hurts.
19:05
Ow, my wrist hurts.
19:07
Instead of saying painful, we use the verb hurts more often.
19:12
So, it's less natural to say my wrist is so painful.
19:15
Instead, we say my wrist hurts.
19:18
It hurts is better than painful.
19:21
So, try that out in a sentence.
19:23
I hurt myself a lot on accident.
19:26
So, those are 10 words you can use to talk about injuries.
19:30
I hope that that's helpful for you
19:32
and now you have some specific vocabulary to talk about the various ways we
19:37
can damage our body.
19:38
If you have any questions
19:39
or comments or if you want to share about a time you were injured,

Thanks very much for watching this episode of Top Words
19:58
and I will see you again soon.
20:01
Bye-bye.
20:02
It's kind of a terrible image.
20:08
A terrible image.
20:08
I'm very sorry.
20:09
Okay.
20:10
We can call that a noun.
20:14
What?
20:14
We can call that a noun.
20:16
This is a noun.
20:18
No, it's a purple noun.
20:21
I gave myself a purple noun when I ran into the door.
20:36
Hi everybody, my name is Alicia.
20:38
Welcome back to Top Words.
20:40
In this lesson, we're going to talk about 10 expressions for receiving things.
20:45
So, let's get started.
20:46
I got.
20:48
The first expression is I got.
20:51
I got.
20:52
This is a very basic expression you can use
20:55
when you receive anything
20:57
and you want to report to someone else.
21:00
Got is the past tense of get.
21:03
Get.
21:04
So, I got followed by the item you received.
21:08
So, I got a present.
21:10
I got a bonus.
21:12
I got a great new job.
21:15
Anything you received, you can report about it with got.
21:19
I got in a sentence.
21:21
I got a really nice present from my students.
21:25
I received.
21:27
The next expression is I received.
21:30
I received.
21:31
So received has really the same meaning as got, but received is more formal.
21:37
So we use received, the past tense form of receive,
21:41
for more polite situations or maybe for more important things that we get.
21:47
Uh so get and receive have roughly the same meaning
21:51
but receive has a higher level of formality about it.
21:55
In a sentence uh I received a holiday bonus from my company.
22:00
My gave me.
22:02
The next expression is my something something gave me.
22:07
Where something something is a person someone uh
22:10
that you have a relationship with like a family member a co-orker boss neighbor
22:15
whatever.
22:15
Uh so like my neighbor gave me a housewarming present
22:19
or my mother gave me a bouquet of flowers,
22:23
my boyfriend gave me chocolate for example.
22:26
So we use this expression
22:27
when we want to mention the person who gave something
22:33
and we want to report who received
22:36
that thing.
22:36
So we use past tense give.
22:39
Gave my something something gave me blah blah blah in this case.
22:43
So we can change the people in the sentence to show like the exchange
22:47
of objects,
22:48
the exchange of items, the passing of items between different people.
22:52
In a sentence, my brother gave me a gift card.
22:56
Thank you so much.
22:58
The next expression is thank you so much.
23:00
Thank you so much.
23:01
So of course, if you receive something,
23:03
it's good manners to say thank you for that.
23:06
So when you receive a gift,
23:08
it's good to say thank you
23:10
or thank you so much to express your appreciation.
23:14
So please don't forget this important phrase
23:17
when you receive something
23:18
or when you are given something in a sentence,
23:22
thank you so much for the present.
23:25
What is it?
23:26
The next expression is what is it?
23:28
What is it?
23:29
So sometimes you receive like kind of a strangely shaped package
23:34
or maybe uh the item you receive is not clear.
23:38
You don't know what the object is.
23:40
In that case you can simply ask what is it?
23:43
What is it?
23:44
So try to do this in a happy way.
23:48
If you say what is it?
23:49
You might have like kind of a problem with the person who gave the
23:53
gift to you.
23:54
So try to say whoa what is it?
23:56
like to show that you're surprised, that you're interested.
23:59
So, please be careful with your intonation with this expression.
24:03
What is it in a sentence?
24:05
Whoa, a present.
24:06
What is it?
24:07
Can I open it?
24:09
The next expression is, can I open it?
24:11
Can I open it?
24:13
So, if you get a present somewhere
24:15
and maybe you're not sure
24:17
if it's the right time to open the present,
24:20
you can ask the person who gave you the present, can I open it?
24:24
Is it okay to reveal the present?
24:27
We use the verb open for presents.
24:29
To open a present in a sentence, wow, thanks.
24:33
Can I open it?
24:34
You really shouldn't have.
24:36
The next expression is you really shouldn't have.
24:39
You really shouldn't have.
24:41
This is kind of a nice expression to say, uh, thank you so much,
24:45
but uh, you should not have purchased this item for me.
24:51
So, it's it's kind of like a little bit of a selfdeprecation,
24:55
like you're lowering yourself a little bit with this expression, like, "Oh, thank you,
24:59
but you should not have purchased this.
25:02
You shouldn't have given me this gift.
25:05
It's too much.
25:05
It's too much."
25:06
Like, but we also use it to show appreciation, too.
25:10
Oh, you shouldn't have.
25:11
You really shouldn't have.
25:12
But usually, this expression is said with a smile at the same time.
25:16
In a sentence, a present for me, you really shouldn't have.
25:20
You really shouldn't have can reflect like, oh gosh,
25:23
you shouldn't have gone through all that effort.
25:26
You didn't need to take the time to buy me a gift,
25:29
in other words.
25:29
So, nice expression, I think.
25:32
That's really nice of you.
25:34
Let's go on to the next one, which is that's really nice of you.
25:38
That's really nice of you.
25:39
So, again, this is an expression we can use to show appreciation.
25:43
Wow, that's really nice of you.
25:45
So that's really nice of you to do in other words.
25:50
So thank you for doing a nice thing in other words.
25:54
That's really nice of you.
25:55
That's really nice of you.
25:57
So again an an appreciation expression in a sentence.
26:01
Uh wow that's really nice of you.
26:03
I really appreciate it.
26:04
The next expression is I really appreciate it.
26:07
I really appreciate it.
26:09
So maybe a step above thank you very much is I really appreciate it.
26:15
So to appreciate something is like to be grateful,
26:19
to show your thanks for something.
26:22
I really appreciate it.
26:24
So we use this in slightly more formal situations.
26:27
Um to express our gratitude for something.
26:30
Again, a very positive and appreciative expression.
26:34
I really appreciate it.
26:35
In a sentence, thank you.
26:37
I really appreciate it.
26:39
This is great.
26:40
The next expression is this is great.
26:42
This is great.
26:43
So, make sure to use this kind of intonation.
26:46
Make sure to use an upward intonation when you say this.
26:50
You get a present, you get something, you've received something,
26:53
and you want to say you're happy with it.
26:55
You can say, "This is great."
26:57
Make sure to use that happy intonation.
27:00
If you say, "This is great."
27:01
It's like, "Oh, no.
27:03
It's not sincere at all."
27:04
So, try to make sure your voice sounds happy
27:07
when you use that in a sentence.
27:09
A new sweater.
27:10
This is great.
27:11
So, those are 10 expressions for receiving things.
27:15
I hope that those are useful expressions for you.
27:18
And if you have any other expressions that you like to use,

Thanks very much for watching this episode of Top Words,
27:38
and I will see you again soon.
27:40
Bye-bye.
27:53
Hi everybody, my name is Alicia.
27:55
Welcome back to Top Words.
27:56
In this lesson, we're going to talk about 10 contractions you should be using.
28:01
I recommend these because if you don't use the contracted forms of these words,
28:06
you might sound a little stiff.
28:08
So to sound a little more natural,
28:10
these are some good contractions for you to use.
28:13
Let's go.
28:14
Deno.
28:15
The first contraction is deno.
28:18
Deno.
28:18
Deno.
28:18
Den.
28:19
Deno.
28:19
So den is a very casual contraction.
28:22
It's not really like an official contraction.
28:25
I suppose you can write it du n o.
28:28
Um, but it means don't know.
28:30
I don't know.
28:31
Sounds kind of stiff.
28:32
I don't know.
28:33
I do not know.
28:34
But uh I don't know.
28:36
It sounds much better.
28:37
Native speakers usually say don't know instead of don't know
28:40
or do not know in a sentence I don't know what do you want
28:45
to do wanna the next expression is wanna wanna
28:50
so I used wanna in the previous example sentence
28:53
when I said I don't know what do you want to do wanna is
28:56
the again casual contraction of want to I want to do something I don't
29:02
want to do something want to becomes wanna in the kind of contracted form
29:09
in in speaking.
29:10
Keep in mind that although we can use wanna in like casual text,
29:15
um it's typically better to use uh want to in more formal text in
29:19
a sentence.
29:20
What do you want to do this weekend?
29:23
Gota.
29:24
The next one is gota.
29:26
Gota.
29:26
So gota is got to got to which means have to.
29:31
So I've got to do something and I have to do something.
29:36
But uh actually we have this expression I gota
29:40
or he's gota that we use instead of I've got to
29:44
or I have to.
29:46
So gota expresses needs like I got to go.
29:49
I gotta go.
29:50
So um in another sentence I got to go to work tomorrow.
29:55
I've the next contraction is I've.
29:58
I've I've is the contracted form of I have.
30:02
I have.
30:02
And of course, this vv sound can be attached to others as well.
30:06
So like I've uh she's and he's takes an s sound.
30:10
They've we've as well.
30:12
So it's this vv sound uh in the contracted form
30:15
which refers to the have
30:17
or has ending as in the uh present perfect tense.
30:21
So, I've I've uh make sure to use this I've form instead of I
30:27
have in your speech to sound more natural in a sentence.
30:31
I've been so tired lately.
30:33
He's she's the next one.
30:36
Okay, so the next one is he's
30:38
and she's which is the same uh he has
30:41
and she has but we can also use this
30:44
as he is and she is.
30:46
So depending on the grammar of the sentence,
30:49
he's and she's could mean he is or he has.
30:53
And she is and she has.
30:55
So this means you need to pay attention to the grammar overall of the
31:00
sentence.
31:00
For example, he is funny.
31:03
That sentence can be he's funny or he's been on the phone all day.
31:08
Is he has been on the phone all day.
31:11
How do we know which is which?
31:13
In the first sentence, he's funny.
31:15
We see he is and then funny, an adjective follows that.
31:20
That gives us a big hint that probably the verb is is there,
31:24
not has.
31:25
In the other sentence, he's been on the phone all day.
31:28
We see the past participle form of be.
31:32
He has been.
31:33
So, we understand the s apostrophe s is actually has there, not is.
31:38
So, this is a great one to help you pay attention to the grammar
31:42
of a sentence because he's
31:43
and she's uh have the same contracted form
31:46
but different meanings depending on the situation.
31:49
In another sentence, he's my best friend.
31:52
I' The next one is one that many people ask about.
31:56
I' I'd talked about this in Ask Alicia as well too.
32:00
I' many people say they have trouble hearing I' in a sentence like I
32:05
like beer and I'd like a beer for example.
32:08
Uh how do you hear that?
32:10
So again this is another situation where you need to pay attention to the
32:14
grammar of the sentence.
32:16
Uh if you say I like beer it's referring to your preference.
32:20
I like beer.
32:21
However, if you are ordering at a restaurant I'd like refers to I would
32:27
like.
32:27
The contracted form of I would is I'.
32:30
I would like a beer, please.
32:32
So that's a request, an order.
32:34
So I' has a very different grammatical function than I.
32:38
Therefore, you need to listen to the entire sentence to understand the difference between
32:44
I and I' and
32:45
when to use them.
32:46
So I' I'.
32:48
And of course, uh with different subjects, weed, he heed,
32:50
she she they and so on.
32:52
You as well.
32:53
It's that it's that kind of soft d sound at the end there.
32:57
So try to listen for
32:58
that and of course try to use the contracted form too in a sentence.
33:02
I'd like to order please.
33:04
Would have, could have, should have.
33:07
The next one is actually three words uh that are all very similar.
33:11
They are would have, could have, and should have.
33:14
Uh the non-contracted forms are would have, could have, and should have.
33:19
So we use these um to talk about past events.
33:23
Uh, so I would have gone to the party if I had had time,
33:28
for example.
33:28
Or I could have helped you if you called me or I shouldn't have.
33:33
Oh, that's a nice one.
33:34
The uh negative form.
33:36
Shouldn't have.
33:36
Shouldn't have is the negative form.
33:38
I shouldn't have drank so much last night.
33:40
So should have becomes should have.
33:43
Should not have becomes shouldn't.
33:45
Shouldn't.
33:46
I've talked about this in Ask Alicia as well too.
33:48
But would have becomes would have.
33:51
Uh therefore, would not have, wouldn't have.
33:54
Same thing with could have, couldn't have as well.
33:57
Uh should have, shouldn't have.
33:59
So these are all kind of contracted forms um
34:02
that sound much more natural
34:04
when you're speaking.
34:05
So these are kind of past tense examples,
34:07
but they have lots of different uses, too.
34:10
So wouldn't, could not,
34:11
and shouldn't have are the most natural ways to say these words.
34:15
Could not have, would not have, should not have.
34:16
Yeah.
34:17
Could not.
34:17
Would not.
34:18
Shouldn't have.
34:18
All right. in a sentence.
34:20
I should have worked harder yesterday.
34:22
Then I could have finished earlier today.
34:24
Lemie.
34:25
Number eight.
34:26
The next one is let me.
34:28
Let me.
34:28
Michael talked about this in an episode of English Topics many years ago.
34:32
Let me inform contraction for let me.
34:36
Let me meaning allow me.
34:38
So let me followed by a verb.
34:41
So, let me buy you a drink
34:43
or like let me go to sleep
34:46
or let me hang out
34:49
and play video games,
34:51
whatever.
34:52
So, allow me to do something.
34:54
Let me let me We can use this with other subjects like ah just
34:58
let him work or ah just let her sleep.
35:00
So, that same sort of uh le sound is preserved. let him
35:04
or let uh but the middle sound is kind of cut a little bit
35:08
is sort of contracted somewhat
35:10
but let me becomes let me let me in a sentence uh let me
35:14
make you dinner gimme.
35:17
The next expression is gimme.
35:19
So similar to let me
35:20
which uses me at the end we have gimme
35:23
which means give me give me something.
35:26
So give me a moment of your time could be give me a moment
35:30
of your time.
35:31
So the contraction there uh it decreases the distance between those two words.
35:35
The vv sound disappears.
35:37
Give me from give me in a sentence.
35:40
Give me a few hours.
35:41
I'll get back to you.
35:43
Its.
35:44
The last contraction is its.
35:46
Its.
35:47
So similar to he's and she's which we talked about before.
35:51
Its with the apostrophe s here I should note uh can refer to it
35:56
is or it has.
35:58
Again, we need to pay attention to the grammar overall of the sentence.
36:02
So like it's a dog is it is a dog
36:07
or it's been a long day.
36:09
That case is it has been a long day.
36:12
So again, we need to look to the verb
36:15
that follows the expression to determine is it a has
36:19
or an is.
36:20
So in my first example, it's a dog.
36:22
We see a noun there.
36:24
Dog is a noun.
36:25
It's a dog.
36:26
Uh, in the second example, it's been a long day.
36:29
We see a verb there.
36:30
So, we know it should be has.
36:32
That past participle is a great hint.
36:34
So, uh, please pay attention to its as well.
36:37
Try to use its instead of it is.
36:40
It's my favorite song.
36:42
All right, that's it.
36:43
So, those are 10 contractions that you should be using.
36:47
I hope that you can use these and listen for these as well.
36:51
Uh, if you have some other contractions
36:53
that you think are useful
36:54
or that you try to use a lot yourself,

37:13
Bye-bye.
37:26
Hi everybody.
37:27
Welcome back to Top Words.
37:28
My name is Alicia
37:29
and today we're going to talk about 10 ways to express fear
37:33
and surprise.
37:35
Let's get started.
37:37
You scared me.
37:38
The first expression is you scared me.
37:41
You scared me.
37:42
So to scare is the verb here and we're using the past tense.
37:46
You scared me.
37:47
So you caused me to be frightened.
37:50
You scared me.
37:51
We use this when we feel surprised or scared.
37:54
So your friend suddenly jumps out from be.
37:58
You scared me.
37:59
I thought I thought you tipped over a liquid onto the camera.
38:05
So you scared me.
38:06
It's like Yeah.
38:06
Oh my gosh.
38:07
You frightened me.
38:08
In other words, you caused me to be afraid in a sentence.
38:11
Ah, you scared me.
38:14
You scared the out of me.
38:17
The next expression is you scared the something out of me.
38:21
You scared the blah blah blah out of me.
38:23
In the blah blah blah here in the space,
38:26
we can use a lot of different words.
38:28
Some of them are really, really rude words.
38:30
You might have heard a few of these on like TV shows
38:33
or in um English-speaking movies.
38:36
Um, so in this lesson,
38:37
I'm going to introduce like some kind of not so rude words.
38:41
Um, you can use you scared like the be Jesus out of me.
38:44
You scared the heck out of me.
38:45
You scared the hell out of me.
38:46
So, it's a more extreme version of you scared me.
38:50
So, you scared the something out of me.
38:53
It like the image is I was
38:56
so frightened that something came out of my body.
39:00
And it's usually like a negative
39:01
or like a rude word we use to emphasize how frightened we were.
39:06
You scared the hell out of me.
39:07
Oh my gosh.
39:08
So that's kind of a common expression.
39:11
So in a sentence, gez, you scared the hell out of me.
39:15
That really freaks me out.
39:17
The next expression is that really freaks me out.
39:20
That really freaks me out.
39:22
So to freak someone out
39:24
or like to freak out is like to cause a strong emotion that's kind
39:29
of a negative nervous emotion
39:31
or that's just if you feel like you're kind of overflowing with either like
39:36
nervousness or like excitement.
39:39
Uh to freak out has a couple of different meanings,
39:42
but when you say that really freaks me out,
39:45
it's kind of a negative like sort of scared emotion.
39:49
So in a sentence, ugh cockroaches really freak me out.
39:53
So you feel like uncomfortable.
39:56
It's kind of like this gross like creepy crawly feeling about it.
40:00
It's like h that freaks me out.
40:02
So that's one use.
40:03
H that really freaks me out.
40:06
I'm freaking out right now.
40:08
The next expression is I'm freaking out or I'm freaking out right now.
40:12
So in the last expression we saw that really freaks me out.
40:17
In this expression, we say, "I'm freaking out in the progressive tense.
40:20
I'm freaking out," which means like,
40:22
"I'm super super super excited
40:24
or I'm like super like I have
40:26
so much energy about something."
40:28
So freaking out sounds kind of like um a nervous activity,
40:32
but we can use it for like exciting things as well.
40:35
I can say like, "Oh my gosh, I forgot my car keys.
40:37
I'm freaking out right now.
40:38
How am I going to get home?"
40:40
We can use it to express like nervousness or anxiety,
40:43
but we can also say something exciting like you got tickets to Beyonce.
40:47
I'm freaking out right now.
40:49
Like we use it in a very positive way sometimes as well.
40:52
So you can kind of choose depending on your emotion.
40:55
Are you afraid or are you excited, surprised?
40:58
Both are okay.
40:59
That really creeped me out.
41:01
The next expression is that really creeped me out.
41:04
That really creeped me out.
41:06
So creepy is a word we've talked about in a previous episode of TopWords
41:10
on the horror movie episode of TopWords.
41:13
Uh so something that is creepy causes nervous feelings
41:17
or like we we can't relax.
41:18
It's kind of unsettling or strange.
41:21
So something that causes those feelings in us,
41:24
we can describe with a a phrase that creeped me out.
41:28
That caused creepy feelings in me.
41:31
That thing creeped me out.
41:32
So like bugs creep me out for example.
41:35
More than creep me out.
41:35
I just hate bugs.
41:37
So in another sentence, yeah, I saw the ring.
41:40
It really creeped me out.
41:42
So something that causes un uneasy feelings in you.
41:46
I was so sketched out.
41:47
The next expression is I was so sketched out.
41:51
I was so sketched out.
41:53
So here um we are using the word sketch
41:55
or sketched which doesn't actually mean rough drawing here.
41:59
This is sort of a slang phrase
42:00
that has become commonly used throughout um different types of English. uh to be
42:06
sketched out by something means to have like nervous feelings
42:12
that something is kind of dangerous.
42:15
So creepy is just sort of unsettling like difficult to relax.
42:20
Sketchy is like is about a person usually
42:24
or like a situation
42:25
that seems it could be dangerous.
42:28
There could be something dangerous actually.
42:30
It's not just that it's kind of scary, but there's maybe some danger there.
42:34
So sketchy sketchy like we don't know what's going to happen next in a
42:39
sentence.
42:39
Then I think a car was following me today.
42:42
I was so sketched out.
42:45
Holy.
42:46
The next expression is holy something.
42:49
Holy something.
42:49
So we can say holy cow or holy other rude words.
42:54
You can check some TV and movies for other words.
42:58
You can finish this sentence with holy something.
43:01
So we use this as just an exclamation.
43:05
So when we're surprised or when we're afraid or when we're excited,
43:08
we can say holy cow
43:11
or like holy I'm not going to say other words
43:14
that people use cuz this is a family channel,
43:16
but uh holy something can mean anything depending on the situation
43:21
and the sort of tone of voice
43:23
that you use with this word.
43:25
Uh, holy cow is a pretty common expression,
43:27
but for surprise usually I would say the kind of rude expressions are more
43:33
commonly used for fear.
43:35
Oh my god.
43:36
The next expression is oh my god.
43:39
Oh my god.
43:39
So depending on your intonation,
43:41
you can kind of change the meaning of this word.
43:44
You can express your surprise with oh my god
43:47
or you can express like fear like oh my god.
43:50
So depending on the way you say this word,
43:52
you can kind of change the meaning,
43:54
but you can use this in a lot of different expressions.
43:57
I'm sure you've heard this expression before.
43:59
Oh my god.
43:59
Also, oh my gosh, too,
44:01
if you don't like to use the word god in an example sentence,
44:05
oh my god, there's a bee in the car.
44:08
What?
44:09
Okay, the next expression looked kind of funny on screen.
44:12
It's just what?
44:14
What?
44:15
So, we can use this as a very casual form of surprise.
44:20
What?
44:20
So, when someone surprises you, usually a friend, a good friend,
44:24
and you're just stunned, like you're so surprised and shocked,
44:28
but you don't feel like excited.
44:31
You're just like, it's difficult for you to kind of say anything
44:35
or do anything.
44:36
Some people react with what?
44:39
Like that kind of long a sound.
44:42
So it's usually used for surprise actually
44:45
or something new that you just oh my gosh I can't react to this
44:49
just what that's all just that's a simple reaction.
44:52
So you might hear this
44:53
as well for surprise generally in an example a surprise party what you got
45:02
me good.
45:03
The last expression is you got me good.
45:06
You got me good.
45:07
This is an expression you can use
45:10
when your friend or someone else you know plays a joke on you.
45:14
So your friend tries to trick you
45:16
or your friend tries to scare you
45:18
or whatever tries to get a reaction from you usually by scaring you
45:23
or surprising you.
45:25
If the trick or the joke was effective,
45:28
you can say ah you got me good.
45:30
You got me good.
45:31
This is kind of like a ah okay I admit like you got me.
45:35
You defeated me.
45:36
In other words, you made me afraid or you surprised me.
45:40
So you can say, you got me good.
45:42
You got me good.
45:43
So that's the meaning of this expression.
45:45
Ah, nice job.
45:46
In other words, you got me good in a sentence.
45:50
You got me good.
45:51
Those are 10 ways to express fear and surprise.

48:00
Nice to meet you is fine.
48:02
Good to meet you is a little more casual.
48:04
Great to meet you sounds very excited.
48:06
Pleasure to meet you sounds like uh maybe a formal situation
48:10
or a business context.
48:11
Okay, the next phrase is how are you?
48:14
How are you is it's just a friendly way to check in with the
48:17

maybe even your boss to a certain degree.
48:23
Uh how are you?
48:25
How you doing?
48:26
The next phrase is I'm fine, thanks.
48:28
And you?
48:28
Uh if you saw English in 3 minutes,
48:30
we talked a lot about this phrase.
48:31
Uh instead of I'm fine, thank you.
48:33
And you say I'm good, thanks.
48:35
How are you?
48:36
Just shorten it, make it a little bit more natural.
48:38
How are you?
48:39
Good.
48:40
How are you?
48:41
Great.
48:41
How are you?
48:42
Not so good.
48:43
How are you?
48:44
Okay.
48:45
And so on.
48:45
So when someone says, "How are you?"
48:47
Offer.
48:48
I usually say, "I'm good.
48:50
This week I blah blah blah."
48:51
Give some information about what you've been up to.
48:54
Maybe a hobby, something that you did recently, an event, something interesting you saw,
48:58
whatever.
48:58
People want to make
48:59
that connection with you
49:00
and it's a good chance for you to continue speaking.
49:02
The next word is please.
49:04
Please is a polite phrase used when you want something from someone else.
49:08
You can use this
49:08
as a response when someone offers you something like in a restaurant for example.
49:13
Would you like more water?
49:14
Would you like something to drink?
49:15
Oh, please.
49:16
The next phrase is thank you.
49:17
Thank you is used to express your appreciation.
49:19
You can use thank you with everybody.
49:22
The next phrase is you're welcome.
49:23
You're welcome.
49:24
When someone says thank you, you can say you're welcome.
49:28
No biggie.
49:29
I use no biggie as in no biggie is short for no big problem.
49:32
The next word is yes.
49:34
Yes, of course.
49:35
Yes means is any positive expression.
49:39
Someone asks you a question and the answer is a positive answer.
49:42
You say yes.
49:44
Yep.
49:44
Uh-huh.
49:45
Yeah.
49:46
We no.
49:48
Next.
49:48
I'm guessing I know it.
49:49
Yep.
49:49
The next word is no.
49:51
No is a negative response to something
49:53
when you have to give a negative answer.
49:56
So, as you can probably guess, um the long form of no is negative.
50:00
I like to use nope.
50:01
It's very, very casual.
50:03
Not going to happen.
50:04
My parents would use that with me to soften that a little bit.
50:07
If you want to show a negative response to something,
50:10
like let's go out for dinner tonight.
50:11
What do you want to do?
50:12
Like, do you want to go out?
50:14
Not really.
50:16
No, I don't think so.
50:18
To soften it.
50:19
The next word is okay.
50:21
Okay.
50:21
This word comes from copy editors.
50:24
Okay.
50:25
When they had to check a manuscript, um,
50:27
they had to label the manuscript all clear a C.
50:31
But because they were copy editors
50:32
and they have a very very sick sense of humor,
50:34
they thought they would mark okay for all clear to make a joke
50:38
because O and K do not start all
50:40
and clear.
50:41
But it caught on among everybody in the world.
50:46
Anyway, okay uh is used to agree with somebody else.
50:50
Well, it can be used actually to express a positive
50:52
or kind of a slight negative.
50:54
I feel transitioning in your conversation.
50:56
You can say, "Okay, now we're going to talk about blah blah blah."
50:59
Okay, the next phrase is excuse me.
51:02
Excuse me.
51:02
It's used to get someone's attention in English
51:05
when you don't know the other person.
51:07
For example, in a store, a supermarket, maybe a stranger on the street,
51:10
you need to ask directions.
51:11
You can use excuse me.
51:13
You can use excuse me in the supermarket.
51:15
Excuse me, can you tell me where the hot sauce is?
51:17
If you've done something rude in public, you can use excuse me.
51:21
I personally do not do rude things in public ever.
51:24
I'm sorry is the next word we're going to talk about.
51:26
I'm sorry is used to apologize.
51:28
When you have made a mistake
51:29
or someone you know has made a mistake
51:31
and you're connected to it
51:32
or you just feel bad,
51:33
you can use I'm sorry you made a mistake at work.
51:35
I'm sorry you forgot to feed your cat.
51:39
I'm sorry.
51:40
Sorry about that.
51:41
You bump someone next to you.
51:43
Oh, sorry.
51:43
What time is it is the next phrase
51:45
when you need to check what time it is.
51:47
What time is it?
51:48
When you ask someone else what time it is.
51:50
Maybe you say this to yourself, too.
51:52
Check your watch.
51:53
Check your phone.
51:54
Check a clock. pretty straightforward phrase.
51:55
There aren't really any short versions.
51:57
So, that's an easy one.
51:59
Where is the plus a location,
52:01
so you can use this for um a building or a store.
52:04
We don't we're not going to use this where isthe for a place,
52:08
a city name or a state name or a country name.
52:10
To do that, you would need to remove the.
52:13
But where is the bank?
52:14
Where is the post office?
52:15
You can use this to ask directions,
52:17
to ask for help in your house or at work.
52:19
Where is the copy machine?
52:21
Where is the file I need?
52:23
Where is the blah blah blah?
52:25
Where is the bathroom?
52:26
Is perhaps a very important question to know.
52:28
The next one is, "May I use the restroom?"
52:31
May I use the restroom is a polite uh
52:33
and soft expression that you can use
52:34
if you need to use the toilet,
52:36
you need to use the washroom.
52:37
When you're at someone's house for the very first time,
52:40
when you're in a place that you're that is new to you,
52:42
you can ask, "May I use the restroom?"
52:44
More casually, can I go to the bathroom?
52:46
To be very polite, you can say, "May I go to the bathroom?"
52:49
The next phrase is, "I would like to order something."
52:52
You can use this at a restaurant probably
52:54
or in any situation where you need to place an order.
52:57
I'd like a pizza.
52:59
I'd like a beer.
53:02
Can I get the check, please?
53:03
This will be used at a restaurant
53:04
when you've finished your meal
53:05
and it's time to go.
53:06
Can I get the check, please?
53:08
In a very, very casual situation, you can just say check, please.
53:11
That's fine.
53:12
The next phrase is see you soon.
53:13
See you soon is used with friends and family members,
53:16
perhaps uh when you expect to see them again soon after saying goodbye to
53:20
them.
53:20
This is used at the end of the conversation.
53:22
You're going separate directions.
53:23
You say, "See you soon."
53:24
"See you" is also good or just see you.
53:27
To make it a little more formal, you can say,
53:28
"I'll see you again soon."
53:30
Make a full sentence out of it that way.
53:31
The next phrase is, "See you later."
53:33
See you later is very similar to see you soon,
53:35
but the point is with see you later is
53:37
that you're probably going to meet
53:39
that person again later on in the same day.
53:42
The last phrase is really.
53:43
Really is a very useful word
53:44
because you can use it to show you interested in a conversation with upward
53:48
intonation.
53:48
Really. really tell me more
53:51
or to show that you're not
53:52
so interested in the conversation with downward intonation really.
53:56
So there are many other words
53:57
that you can use similar to really in this way like seriously
54:00
or oh and so on.
54:03
So it's a really good practice for your intonation.
54:06
Uh so those are 25 very common words uh and phrases in English.
