1
She's going to the movies with other friend.
2
Other Yeah, I've been in Canada four times.
3
Hi, I'm Giovanna and in today's video you'll learn how to stop making two grammar mistakes in English.
4
Let's get started by taking a look at these two words other and another.
5
Do you guys know what is the difference between them?
6
In general, we can say that the word other always comes after a possessive pronoun,
7
my, your, her, his, their, etc. Or after a demonstrative pronoun,
8
for example, this, these, those, that.
9
Example, she's his other sister.
10
She's his other sister.
11
Can you say the word his?
12
It's a possessive pronoun, his.
13
So she's his other, not she's his another.
14
After a possessive pronoun, we need to use the word other.
15
And the next example is I need that other jacket.
16
I need that other jacket.
17
That is a demonstrative pronoun and that's why we need to use the word other instead of another.
18
We don't say I need that another jacket.
19
No, this is wrong.
20
This is grammatically wrong.
21
So we just say I need that that other jacket.
22
So basically, when we have a possessive pronoun, my, your, her, his, their,
23
etc., we need to use the word other.
24
Other after that.
25
So, his, my other brother.
26
He is my other brother.
27
So that's the way that this grammar works.
28
That's the grammatically correct sentence and it's also that the sentence that really makes sense.
29
It does make more sense than, "Oh, this is my another brother." No, it doesn't make sense.
30
It's This is my other brother.
31
That's it.
32
And also, we also use other with a demonstrative pronoun.
33
For example, this these those, that, etc. So, for example,
34
I need to buy that other pair of shoes.
35
I need to buy that Other pair of shoes.
36
So it's that I used a demonstrative pronoun,
37
so it's that other pair of shoes not that another pair of shoes.
38
It's the grammar that does really make sense.
39
So now let's move on to another.
40
The word another can be used as an adjective to mean one more or in addition to So for example,
41
you can say we need another demonstration of the product.
42
we need Another, so one more.
43
In this case, it means one more.
44
So we need one more demonstration of the product.
45
Because just one demonstration wasn't really necessary.
46
So we need.. to see another, like one more demonstration of the product.
47
We need another demonstration of the product.
48
Or she needs another proof.
49
she needs another proof because She needs one more proof.
50
Yes, it's like one extra.
51
proof.
52
But another can also work as a pronoun.
53
Yeah, so it can work with the meaning: one more of this kind.
54
So another can also mean one more of this kind.
55
For example: I need to make another video.
56
So I need to make another video, I mean, I need to make one more video of this.
57
of this kind, like of this video.
58
one more video about grammar mistakes for example, in my context.
59
And finally, another can also mean at a different one.
60
For example, can you meet me at another time?
61
So can you meet me at a different time?
62
So can you visit me at another place?
63
Can you visit me at a different place?
64
So another has also this meaning of at a different one.
65
At a different one.
66
Yes.
67
Now it's time to test yourself super quickly.
68
Let's see if you can choose between other and another in this sentence.
69
So the sentence is: This is my blank space, dog, His name's Snape.
70
His name is Snape.
71
So do I use other?
72
or another in this case you have 5 seconds to answer it.
73
The correct answer is other.
74
This is my other dog.
75
His name is Snape.
76
Because here I have the possessive pronoun, my.
77
After a possessive pronoun, we need to use the word other.
78
That's the grammar rule.
79
Now let's move on to the next common mistake.
80
Yeah, I've been in Canada four times.
81
But be careful, do not generalize.
82
In English we never generalize things, right?
83
In this scenario, in this context actually.
84
I couldn't have said I've been in London because of the specific context,
85
because of the specific environment of the situation you know because of what she was talking about So when I talk about,
86
basically, when I talk about the context, that refer to Do a short trip that you've been to.
87
Like in the past, you've been to a short trip.
88
You've been to London for a short time, maybe a week, maybe two weeks, maybe one day, like a short time.
89
And then you're talking about your experience, of course, about a short trip that you've made in the past.
90
Yeah. So...
91
For this situation, we need to use the preposition to.
92
I've been to London.
93
So I've been to London.
94
I'm talking about my experience.
95
So I've been to London.
96
my experience.
97
It was a short trip.
98
I've been there two weeks.
99
For example, but what happens if I say I've been in London?
100
Well, the preposition in implies that you've been in London for a longer period of time, not just a short time.
101
You've been in London maybe for a month, maybe for 10 years, you know, for a longer time.
102
So for example, if someone asks you, "How have you been?" So how have you been?
103
And then you can answer this question saying, Oh, I've been in London for the past few months.
104
So you're talking about your life.
105
I've been in London for the past few months.
106
So it means that maybe you were living in London in the past few months.
107
- Yeah.
108
Another context.
109
Take a look at the next example.
110
Have you ever been to London?
111
Yes, I have.
112
Have you ever been to London?
113
Yes, I have.
114
Why did the person use to instead of in?
115
Actually, because the person is talking about experience.
116
It's like a conversation.
117
You can imagine a conversation.
118
We're getting to know each other, like I'm getting to know you.
119
And then you just ask me, hey, have you ever been to London?
120
Hey, Giovanna.
121
Have you ever been to India?
122
Have you ever been to Iran?
123
and then we're going to long period of time yeah so

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
