1
Do you ever feel like your English is stuck somewhere between your head and your mouth?
2
When you know what to say, the idea is completely there, but the words either do not come out, or they come out in the wrong order,
3
or too slowly for the conversation to feel natural.
4
And what do most people do when that happens?
5
They either stop talking, they become very shy, they start shaking, they feel really dumb,
6
or they go look for more advanced vocabulary, more sophisticated words, more impressive expressions,
7
and as if knowing enough of them would finally make everything click.
8
Here's the thing.
9
The words that actually stop people in conversation are not the advanced ones.
10
They are the ones you've studied multiple times.
11
You know what they mean.
12
You understand them when you hear them, but when you need them in real time in the middle of a sentence while someone is staring at you and waiting, they're just not automatic yet.
13
Words like realize, admit, convince, regret, you know them.
14
But do they come out without thinking?
15
For most learners, they do not.
16
Honestly, 11 years in the US, they do not.
17
So today, we're gonna go through 100 most common verbs in English.
18
We're gonna go through them in groups because your brain holds onto clusters much better than it holds onto lists.
19
And for each one, you will hear a real sentence.
20
something you could actually say to someone today
21
if you feel like you like the sentence memorize it write
22
it down keep repeating it make it part of your actual language
23
if you're new here welcome to lingua marina i've been learning
24

28

29
I am meeting a lot of you in my daily life here in San Francisco in the Bay Area
30
and it's the best thing ever.
31
And if you remember the first video you watched, write that too.
32
All right, let's go.
33
Group one.
34
These are the verbs that describe states.
35
What something is, what it looks like, what it turns into.
36
They are the foundation of almost every sentence in English.
37
A quick tip for this group.
38
When you learn these verbs, do not just memorize the word.
39
Attach a feeling or a situation to it.
40
Your brain holds onto experiences much longer than it holds onto definitions.
41
Verb number one, be.
42
This is the most common verb in English by far.
43
You use it to describe states, identities, feelings, to say what something is or how it feels.
44
You use it more than any other word in the language.
45
Repeat after me.
46
I am not where I want to be yet, but I am getting there.
47
Next is seem.
48
Seem is how you describe something based on how it looks or feels to you, not as a hard fact.
49
When you say something seems a certain way, you are giving your impression, not a guarantee.
50
For example, it seemed like the right decision at the time.
51
After that, appear.
52
Similar to seem, but slightly more formal.
53
You use it when something gives a certain impression from the outside, when it looks a particular way to the people around it.
54
She appeared calm, but I could tell she was nervous.
55
Now become.
56
Become means to change into something, To go from one state to another.
57
It is a verb of transformation and it is one of the most powerful ones in the language.
58
You do not find the person you want to be.
59
You become them.
60
The next verb is stay.
61
Stay means to remain in a place or a state, to not leave or change.
62
It is the opposite of go or change and you will use it constantly, both for physical places and for feelings.
63
For example, stay curious.
64
The moment you stop asking questions, you stop growing.
65
Then we have remain.
66
Remain means the same thing as stay.
67
To continue to be in a place or condition, but it is more formal.
68
She remained calm even when everything around her was falling apart.
69
And the last verb in this group, exist.
70
Exist means to be real, to actually be present in the world.
71
And when something exists, it is not imagined or invented.
72
It is there.
73
For example, some problems exist only because we keep thinking about them.
74
Group two.
75
These words are about movement, where you go, how you get there, and when you leave.
76
A memory tip here.
77
Picture yourself moving through a single day.
78
You wake up, you go somewhere, you come back.
79
Maybe it's in New York.
80
Maybe it's in San Francisco.
81
Maybe it's in Italy.
82
Most of these verbs happen in that one sentence.
83
You can tell the story of your morning in English.
84
You already know this whole group.
85
Go means to move away from where you currently are, toward another place.
86
It is the most basic movement verb in English, and it is also one of the most irregular.
87
Watch out for the past tense.
88
It is not go'd, it is went, which is a completely different word.
89
This is one of the most common mistakes, even at intermediate level.
90
Let's look at an example.
91
I went to bed late and I paid for it the next morning.
92
Next is come.
93
Come means to move toward the speaker, toward where you are.
94
This is the key difference from go.
95
Go moves away.
96
Come moves closer.
97
It is one of the most common confusions for English learners across all languages.
98
She came back into my life exactly when I had stopped waiting.
99
Now, leave.
100
Leave means to go away from a place or a person, to depart.
101
The past tense is left, which is also the opposite of right.
102
Two completely different meanings, same word, and that catches people off guard.
103
For example, I left my phone at home and I honestly did not miss it.
104
The next one, arrive means to reach the place you were going to, to get somewhere after traveling.
105
It follows the regular pattern, so the past form is simply arrived.
106
One small thing to remember, you arrive at a specific place, like a building or an address, but you arrive in a city or a country.
107
We arrived in the city with no plan and somehow that made it better.
108
After that, return.
109
Return means to go back to a place or a situation you were in before.
110
It means the same thing as go back.
111
Just a bit more formal and both are completely natural in conversation.
112
He returned to the same cafe every morning for 15 years, moving on.
113
Walk.
114
Walk means to move on foot at a regular pace.
115
Not running, not driving, just moving step by step.
116
It is one of the first verbs English learners study.
117
For example, walk like you know where you are going, even when you don't.
118
Then run.
119
Run means to move quickly on foot, faster than walking.
120
It is irregular in a slightly unusual way.
121
The past simple is ran, but the past participle goes back to run, the same form as the present.
122
So if you hear someone say, I have run, that is the past participle, and I ran is the simple past.
123
I used to run from hard conversations.
124
Now I start them first.
125
Next is move.
126
Move means to change position or location, but it also means to affect someone emotionally, to make them feel something deeply.
127
Both uses are extremely common, and knowing both will make your English much richer.
128
For example, that film moved me more than I expected it to.
129
Up next, travel.
130
Travel means to go from one place to another, especially over a longer distance.
131
One spelling note worth knowing.
132
In American English, you write one L, traveled.
133
And in British English, you write two, traveled.
134
Both are correct, so just pick one and stay consistent with it.
135
She has traveled to 40 countries, and she says she still feels like a beginner.
136
And the last movement verb, drive.
137
Drive means to operate a vehicle, to be the person in control of a car, a truck, or anything similar.
138
This one is irregular and learners get the past tense wrong a lot.
139
It is not drived.
140
It is drove.
141
And the past participle is driven.
142
He drove three hours just to surprise her.
143
That told me everything I needed to know about him.
144
If you are at a stage where you understand more than you can say,
145
where things make sense when someone explains them but don't come out when you actually try to speak,
146
our elementary to intermediate course was genuinely made for you.
147
The course covers everything that usually feels confusing.
148
Articles, tenses, pronunciation, everyday vocabulary,
149
phrasal verbs, and you practice using it, not just memorizing rules.
150
We have our favorite teacher, Venia, teaching it.
151
I'm there to motivate you.
152
And students consistently say that Vini's lessons feel nothing like the dry grammar classes they remember from school.
153
Vini gives real life examples.
154
He lives in Los Angeles, but he also lives in South Korea.
155
He has a lot of humor.
156
He's also a singer.
157
So he comes up with things that actually stick.
158
You also get a study partner and homework that's checked.
159
More than 10,000 people have taken it and the next batch is starting very soon.
160
If that's where you are right now, the link is in the description.
161
Let's keep learning together.
162
And now on to group number three, communication verbs.
163
These are the ones you need every single time you open your mouth to talk to another person.
164
Memory tip for this group.
165
Notice the difference between verbs that need a person after them and verbs that do not.
166
You speak English, but you tell someone something.
167
When I use the verb tell, I actually have this movement in my head.
168
Like I have to remember that you tell someone something.
169
You ask someone a question.
170
Getting this right is what makes you sound natural.
171
Verb number 18.
172
Say means to produce words, to express something out loud.
173
It is the most basic communication verb and it does not require a person directly after it.
174
You say something, not you say someone something.
175
For example, she said yes before I even finished the question.
176
Next is tell.
177
Tell means to give information or a story to someone.
178
And this is the key point.
179
Tell always needs a person after it.
180
You tell someone something and you cannot use it without that person.
181
You cannot just tell something.
182
Tell me something about yourself that is not on your resume.
183
Then ask to request information or to make a request.
184
You can ask a question.
185
Ask someone to do something or ask for something you want
186
and in all three of those patterns are very common in everyday conversation.
187
I asked for help and it turned out to be the smartest thing I did that year.
188
Moving on, speak.
189
Speak means to use language, to communicate verbally.
190
You speak a language and you speak to or with another person.
191
It is a little more formal than talk, so you would use it in slightly more serious or professional contexts.
192
The past tense is spoke and the past participle is spoken.
193
For example, she spoke quietly, but everyone in the room stopped to listen.
194
The next verb is talk.
195
Talk means to communicate verbally, to have a conversation.
196
It is more casual than speak and more common in everyday situations.
197
You talk about something or you talk to or with someone.
198
We talked for four hours and it still did not feel like enough.
199
After that, call.
200
Call has two main meanings.
201
One is to phone someone, to reach them by telephone or video.
202
The other is to name something or someone.
203
When you call something a certain thing, you are giving it that name.
204
Call me when you land.
205
I will be awake.
206
Now write.
207
Write means to put words on paper or a screen, to create something with language in a written form.
208
The past tense is wrote, which is one of the most commonly misspelled.
209
A lot of learners write write-ed, but the correct form is wrote.
210
The past participle is written, for example, she wrote him one letter.
211
He kept it for 20 years.
212
Next is read.
213
Read means to look at written words and understand them.
214
This verb has a tricky pronunciation.
215
The present tense sounds like read, but the past tense, same spelling, same letters, Sounds like red.
216
All three forms are spelled identically, but only the past sounds different, and this confuses almost everyone at first.
217
I read somewhere that the people who read the most are also the best at listening.
218
Then, listen.
219
Listen means to pay active attention to a sound or a person.
220
It is a deliberate choice, something you do on purpose.
221
One pronunciation note.
222
The T is completely silent.
223
You say listen, not listen.
224
Most people listen to respond.
225
The best communicators listen to understand.
226
And the last one in this group, hear.
227
Hear means to receive sound through your ears without necessarily choosing to.
228
This is the key difference from listen.
229
Hear happens automatically.
230
Listen is a choice.
231
Getting this distinction right will make you sound much more natural in English.
232
For example, I heard everything you said, but I am not sure I understood what you meant.
233
Group four, thinking and knowing.
234
These are the verbs that happen inside your head, and they are some of the most useful in the whole language.
235
Memory tip, and this one matters a lot for how you actually practice.
236
This group is where your inner voice lives.
237
Every time you have a thought, form an opinion, or change your mind, you are using one of these verbs.
238
Practice them with your own real thoughts, not invented sentences.
239
They stick better that way.
240
Verb number 28, think.
241
Think means to form ideas, to have thoughts, to reason through something in your mind.
242
The past tense is not thinked, it is thought.
243
And that same form works for both the past simple and the past participle.
244
I think the hardest part is starting after that.
245
It gets easier.
246
Next is know.
247
Know means to have information or awareness about something.
248
To already have it in your mind, not to be learning it.
249
It is one of the most commonly mispronounced verbs in English because the K is completely silent.
250
You say know.
251
The past tense is new and the past participle is known.
252
You already know more than you think you do.
253
Then understand.
254
Understand means to grasp the meaning of something, not just to hear the words, but to truly get what they mean.
255
The past form is understood, which works for both past simple and past participle, So it is the same in both cases.
256
I did not understand the grammar rule for years.
257
Then one day it just clicked.
258
Moving on, believe.
259
Believe means to accept something as true.
260
There are two slightly different ways to use it.
261
Believe in something means you think it exists or has real value.
262
Well, believe someone means you think that person is telling you the truth.
263
Believe in what you are building.
264
Especially on the days when no one else does yet.
265
After that, remember.
266
Remember means to have something come back to your mind.
267
A fact, a person, a moment from the past.
268
It is one of the most emotionally powerful verbs in the language.
269
Because memory is so personal.
270
I do not remember the words she said.
271
I remember how I felt when she said them.
272
The next one is forget.
273
Forget is the opposite of remember.
274
It means to lose something from your memory, to no longer have it available in your mind when you need it.
275
The past simple is forgot.
276
And the past participle is forgotten.
277
A very common mistake is saying, I have forgot instead of I have forgotten.
278
The past participle form is always forgotten.
279
Do not forget where you started.
280
It makes where you are going mean more.
281
Now, wonder.
282
Wonder.
283
Wonder in this sense means to ask yourself a question silently inside your head when you are not sure about something.
284
You wonder about things you are curious or uncertain about.
285
This is different from the noun wonder, which means something amazing, two completely different meanings.
286
I wonder sometimes what would have happened if I had said yes.
287
Next is realize.
288
Realize means to suddenly become aware of something.
289
When something that was not clear to you suddenly becomes clear
290
or when you understand something for the first time american spelling is realize with a z
291
and british spelling is realized with an s
292
but both are correct she realized halfway through the sentence that she was wrong and she said so then doubt
293
doubt means to feel uncertain about something to not be fully sure whether it is true
294
or whether it will happen there is an important pronunciation note
295
here the b is completely silent doubt is not the enemy of confidence it is what makes confidence real
296
and the last verb in this group learn learn means to gain knowledge
297
or a skill through study experience
298
or practice in american english the past form is learned
299
and in british english you will also hear learned both are perfectly correct You do not learn a language.
300
You build it, slowly, one conversation at a time.
301
Group 5.
302
Verbs about feelings.
303
These are the ones people search for when they want to say something that actually means something.
304
Here is how I want you to approach this group.
305
For each verb, do not just repeat the example sentence.
306
Think of a real moment in your life that goes with it.
307
A specific memory.
308
Your brain will hold on to a feeling much longer than it holds on to a definition.
309
Verb number 38, feel.
310
Feel means to experience an emotion or a physical sensation.
311
It is how you talk about your inner state, how something affects you from the inside.
312
The past form is felt, which works for both past simple and past participle.
313
I felt completely out of place.
314
And then I realized everyone else did too.
315
Next is love.
316
Love means to have a deep affection or a strong positive feeling for someone or something.
317
What is interesting is that in English, it is used much more casually than in many other languages.
318
Americans say, I love this coffee or I love that idea.
319
Without it carrying a heavy emotional weight, it can just mean I really like this.
320
I love a good conversation more than almost anything the kind where you lose track of time.
321
Then like, like means to have a positive feeling towards something, to find it enjoyable or appealing.
322
It is softer than love and more neutral.
323
There is also a completely separate use in modern spoken English where like is used as a filler word.
324
She was like, I can't believe it, but that is an informal spoken pattern, not the verb meaning.
325
I did not like public speaking at first i liked what
326
it did to my confidence after moving on want want means
327
to have a desire for something to wish to have
328
or do something it is one of the highest frequency verbs
329
in the entire language you use it dozens of times a
330
day often without even noticing the world is your oyster go after what you want after
331
that need need means to require something to not be able
332
to do without it this is the important difference from want
333
um want is desire something you would like to have
334
and need is necessity something you cannot function without learners sometimes use them interchangeably
335
and the meaning changes completely i needed to fail
336
that specific thing to understand what i actually wanted next is hope hope means to want something to happen
337
and to believe there is a real chance it could it
338
is always oriented toward the future you hope for something
339
that has not happened yet but
340
that you genuinely think is possible i hope you find the thing
341
that makes monday feel like friday now wish wish also means to want something
342
but it is used for things that are impossible or very unlikely
343
or that are already in the past
344
and cannot be changed I wish I could fly or I wish I had known sooner.
345
This is why hope and wish feel so different.
346
Hope is realistic.
347
Wish is often about things that are out of reach.
348
I wish I had started sooner, but I also know that I started exactly when I was ready.
349
Then fear.
350
Fear means to be afraid of something, to feel anxiety or dread about it.
351
It is more formal than be afraid of, which is the more conversational version, but both are used in natural speech depending on the context.
352
Do the thing you fear the most.
353
That is usually the thing you need the most.
354
The next verb is enjoy.
355
Enjoy means to get pleasure from something, to experience it in a way that feels good.
356
He enjoys cooking for other people more than eating the food himself.
357
And the last feeling verb, miss.
358
Miss has two meanings.
359
The first, and the one that belongs in this group, is to feel the absence of someone or something you care about, to wish they were still there.
360
The second meaning is to fail, to catch, hit, or experience something.
361
In this group, we are talking about the emotional one, The one you feel when someone is gone.
362
I miss the version of myself who had no idea what was coming.
363
She was brave without knowing it.
364
Group 6.
365
Getting and giving.
366
These are the transactional verbs and the ones that move things between people.
367
Before we start, think about direction.
368
Some verbs in this group move things toward you.
369
Get, receive, take, keep.
370
Some move things away from you.
371
Give, send, pay, lose.
372
If you can feel the direction of the verb, you will use it correctly almost every time.
373
That is your tip for this whole group.
374
Verb number 48.
375
GET.
376
It is one of the most versatile verbs in English.
377
Depending on the sentence, it can mean to receive something, to become something, to obtain something, or even to understand something.
378
The past tense is God
379
and the past participle in american english is gotten get comfortable being uncomfortable
380
that is where everything good happens next is give means to
381
hand something over to someone else to let another person have it the past tense is gave
382
and this is a common mistake a lot of learners say gived
383
which does not exist in english the past participle is given
384
give yourself the same advice you would give your best friend then take.
385
Take means to move something toward yourself or to carry something with you.
386
It is the opposite direction from give.
387
You will hear it with a lot of common expressions.
388
Take a risk, take a photo, take your time, take a step.
389
The past tense is took and the past participle is taken.
390
Take the first step even when you cannot see the whole staircase.
391
After that bring.
392
Bring means to carry something toward the speaker it is the
393
same direction as come take moves things away bring moves them closer the past tense
394
and the past participle are both brought
395
so the two forms are the same she brought something to
396
every room she walked into you could feel it moving on
397
send send means to cause something to go from you to someone else a message a package information
398
or anything else you are transmitting to another person.
399
The past form is sent and it works for both the past simple and the past participle, so it never changes.
400
Send the message.
401
The worst they can say is no and you are already at no right now.
402
The next verb is receive.
403
Receive means to get something that someone has sent or given to you.
404
It is the other end of send.
405
It is more formal than get and And you will hear it a lot in professional writing, official communication, and more serious context.
406
She received the news without showing anything on her face.
407
I still do not know how.
408
Now, by.
409
By means to get something by paying money for it.
410
The past tense is bought.
411
And that same form is used for the past participle as well, so both are bought. By experiences.
412
Not things.
413
Things fill rooms. is fill you.
414
Next is pay.
415
Pay means to give money in exchange for something or more broadly to give what is owed or deserved.
416
The past form is paid.
417
Pay attention.
418
It is the most valuable thing you can give another person.
419
Then keep.
420
Keep means to continue to have something or to continue doing something, not to lose it, not to stop.
421
The past form is kept, which works for both past simple and past participle.
422
Keep going on the days when you do not feel like it.
423
Those are the days that matter.
424
And the last one in this group, lose.
425
Lose means to no longer have something or to fail to win.
426
You have not lost until you have stopped trying.
427
Group seven, doing and making.
428
These are the action verbs, the ones that describe what you actually do in the world.
429
Tip.
430
Before we begin, and this one is probably the most useful grammar note in the whole video.
431
Many languages use one word for both do and make, and that is exactly why English learners mix them up.
432
Here is a rough rule that works most of the time.
433
Make.
434
Create something new. Do.
435
Describes an activity or task.
436
You make a plan.
437
You do the work.
438
You make a decision.
439
You do your best.
440
Keep that in your head as we go.
441
Verb number 58, do.
442
Do means to perform an action or complete a task.
443
It is one of the most used verbs in the language and it also works as an auxiliary verb, the one that helps you form questions and negatives in English.
444
The past tense is did and the past participle is done.
445
Do the hard thing first.
446
Everything else feels easier after.
447
Next is make.
448
Make means to create or produce something, to bring something into existence that was not there before.
449
As the memory tip said, this is different from do.
450
You make a plan, you make a mistake, you make food.
451
The past tense and past participle are both made.
452
Make decisions you can be proud of when you look back in 10 years.
453
Then try.
454
Try means to make an effort, to do something, to attempt it even
455
when you are not sure you will succeed
456
if the past form is tried and there is a spelling pattern here worth knowing
457
when a verb ends in a consonant followed by the y
458
changes to i before you add ed ending you see the same thing in study studied
459
and carry carried try things before you decide they are not
460
for you most opinions formed without experience are just fear after
461
that work work has three common meanings in english it can describe your job
462
or profession it can describe the effort you put into something
463
and it can also mean
464
that something is functioning properly as in this app does not
465
work all three uses are extremely common in daily conversation work on things
466
that scare you a little
467
that fear is a signal not a warning moving on help help means to make it easier for someone to do something,
468
to assist them.
469
There is a small grammar note worth knowing.
470
In American English, the most natural pattern is help someone do something.
471
Without to before the second verb, you can say help someone to do something and it is not wrong,
472
but dropping the to sounds more natural.
473
Help someone today who cannot pay you back, do it anyway.
474
The next verb is start.
475
Start means to begin something, to take the first step in a process.
476
It is almost interchangeable with begin, but start is more common in everyday spoken English.
477
Start before you are ready.
478
You will never be fully ready.
479
Now, stop.
480
Stop means to cease doing something, to bring an action to an end.
481
There is an important grammar note here.
482
Stop doing something is different from stop to do something.
483
That second pattern actually means you pause in order to do something else.
484
Two different meanings from the same word.
485
Stop waiting for permission to become who you already are.
486
Next is finish.
487
Finish means to complete something, to reach the end of it.
488
It follows the same grammar pattern as stop and enjoy.
489
Finish what you start.
490
Not because every project deserves to be finished, but because the habit of finishing is worth building.
491
Then build.
492
Build means to construct something, to put pieces together to create a larger whole.
493
It can be physical.
494
Building a house or more abstract like building a career or building a relationship.
495
The past tense and past participle are both built.
496
Build something you would be proud to show the person you were 10 years ago.
497
And the last verb in this group, create.
498
Create means to bring something into existence to make something that did not exist before.
499
It is similar to make, but create carries a stronger sense of originality and intentional effort.
500
When you create something, you are putting a real part of yourself into it.
501
Create the thing you wish existed.
502
Someone else is waiting for it.
503
Next group.
504
These are the verbs of life itself.
505
Memory tip that doubles as a speaking challenge.
506
Try to tell the story of one full day using only the verbs in this group.
507
You wake up, you eat, you live, you grow, you change, you open things, you close them, and eventually you sleep.
508
If you can narrate your own day in English, these verbs will never leave you.
509
Verb number 68. To live.
510
Live means to be alive or to reside in a place one thing that catches people.
511
There are two pronunciations of the same word.
512
As a verb, I live here, she lives in Paris.
513
It sounds like live as an adjective, a live concert, a live broadcast.
514
It sounds like live.
515
Same spelling, different sound, different meaning.
516
Live like the person you want to become, not the person you have always been.
517
Next is grow.
518
Grow means to develop, to increase, to become bigger or more advanced over time, physically or in terms of skills, character or experience.
519
The past simple is grew and the past participle is grown.
520
You do not grow when things are easy.
521
You grow when you keep going when they are not.
522
Then change.
523
Change means to become different or to make something different.
524
It is one of the most emotionally significant verbs in any language because it sits at the center of so many decisions,
525
relationships, and moments in a person's life.
526
Change your mind when the facts change.
527
Moving on, eat.
528
Eat means to put food into your mouth and consume it.
529
The past simple is ate and the past participle is eaten.
530
A lot of learners try eated as the past form, but that does not exist in English.
531
Eat like you respect your body.
532
It is the only one you have.
533
After that, drink.
534
Drink means to swallow liquid.
535
What makes this verb interesting is that all three forms are completely different from each other.
536
The present is drink, the past simple is drank, and the past participle is drunk.
537
It is one of those verbs where you really do need to learn all three separately.
538
She drank her coffee slowly and looked out the window for a long time before she spoke.
539
The next verb is sleep.
540
Sleep means to rest in a state of unconsciousness when your body and mind recover from the day.
541
The past form is slept, which works for both past simple and past participle.
542
So you say I slept and I have slept.
543
Sleep is not laziness.
544
Sleep is when your brain files everything you learned today.
545
Now, wake.
546
Wake means to stop sleeping, to return to consciousness.
547
You almost always hear it with up, wake up.
548
The past simple is woke and the past participle is woken.
549
You have probably also heard woke used as an adjective in modern English with a completely different political meaning.
550
But as a verb, I woke up late is what you need here.
551
Woke up this morning and decided today was going to be different.
552
Next is die.
553
Die means to stop living, to reach the end of life.
554
It is worth including here because learners often avoid this word and reach for softer phrases instead.
555
In natural English speech, die and died are used directly and that is actually the more natural and honest choice.
556
Some dreams die, but usually they transform into something you needed more.
557
Then open.
558
Open means to move something so that it is no longer closed or blocked.
559
A door, a window, a package.
560
But it is also used in a more abstract sense.
561
You can open a conversation, open your mind, Open an opportunity.
562
Both uses are completely natural.
563
Open the conversation you have been avoiding.
564
It is usually not as hard as the silence.
565
And the final verb, close.
566
Close means to move something so that it is no longer open or to bring something to an end.
567
Close the day by writing down one thing that went well.
568
Even on the hard days, there is always one thing.
569
Moving on, group number nine.
570
Verbs related to decisions and relationships.
571
Memory tip before we start.
572
Think about the last time you had to make a difficult decision or navigate a tricky conversation with someone.
573
Almost every verb in this group was somewhere in that moment.
574
These are not abstract words.
575
They are the ones you reach for every single time you deal with other people.
576
Verb number 78, decide.
577
Decide means to make a choice between options.
578
To come to a conclusion about what you are going to do.
579
One grammar note worth knowing.
580
When decide is followed by a verb, you use to.
581
I decided to leave.
582
When it is followed by a question, you use that or a question word.
583
I decided that I was done or I decided where to go.
584
I decided to stop waiting for the right moment and to make the moment right.
585
After that, choose.
586
Choose.
587
Choose means to select one thing from among several options.
588
The past simple is chose and the past participle is chosen.
589
People often mix this up with decide.
590
The difference is subtle, but decide is about reaching a conclusion and choose is specifically about selecting from available options.
591
You are always choosing even when you think you are not.
592
Not deciding is also a choice.
593
Now agree.
594
Agree means to have the same opinion as someone else or to say yes to something that is proposed.
595
It is followed by with when you share someone's view.
596
I agree with you.
597
And by to when you consent to a plan.
598
She agreed to help.
599
We did not agree on everything.
600
We agreed on the things that mattered.
601
Then disagree.
602
Disagree means to have a different opinion, to not see things the same way as someone else.
603
It is one of the most useful verbs for a conversation because it lets you push back politely.
604
You disagree with a person or an idea.
605
I disagree with you, but I understand why you see it that way.
606
Moving on, promise.
607
Promise means to give your word that something will happen, to make a commitment to another person.
608
It carries real weight in English.
609
When you promise something, you are staking your credibility on it it is followed by to
610
when a verb comes after it i promise to be there
611
promise less than you can deliver then deliver more than you
612
promised next is offer offer means to present something to someone to make it available for them to take
613
or use without forcing them you offer help you offer a seat you offer an idea the key is
614
that the other person can say yes or no she offered to take over
615
and i let her asking for help is not the same as giving up after
616
that refuse refuse means to say no to something that is offered
617
or requested to decline it it is followed by two
618
when a verb comes next she refused to answer it is stronger than decline
619
which is the more polite version refuse usually implies a firm clear no refuse the version of yourself, that place small.
620
You have done that long enough.
621
Now, accept.
622
Accept means to take something that is offered or to acknowledge something as true or real.
623
It can be physical, accepting a gift or emotional, accepting a situation you cannot change.
624
Accept where you are, not as a permanent address, but as a starting point.
625
Next is admit.
626
Admit means to acknowledge something that is difficult or uncomfortable to say, to own up to a mistake, a feeling, or a truth you have been avoiding.
627
It is followed by a noun or a verb with ing.
628
I admitted making a mistake, not I admitted to make a mistake.
629
Admit when you are wrong.
630
It costs you almost nothing and earns you almost everything.
631
Then deny.
632
Deny means to say that something is not true or to refuse to give someone something they want or need.
633
It is the opposite of admit in the first sense.
634
You deny an accusation, you deny access, you deny yourself something you want.
635
All three uses are common.
636
She denied it even when everyone could see the truth.
637
That is when I stopped arguing.
638
Moving on, suggest.
639
Suggest means to put forward an idea for someone to consider to propose something without demanding it.
640
She suggested we meet somewhere quiet.
641
That told me she had something important to say.
642
And the last verb in this group, explain.
643
Explain means to make something clear, to give the information someone needs to understand something.
644
One important grammar note, explain, does not take a person directly after it.
645
You do not explain someone something.
646
You explain something to someone.
647
This is a mistake that is very common across many language backgrounds.
648
You do not need to explain every decision you make.
649
Some choices are yours alone.
650
Last group.
651
These are the result verbs, the ones that describe what happens at the end when everything comes together or falls apart.
652
Last tip.
653
Think of everything in this group as the final chapter of a story.
654
The story of effort.
655
You worked, you tried, you struggled, and now something happens as a result, whether it goes well or it does not.
656
These verbs are where the story ends and also where the next one begins.
657
Verb number 90, achieve.
658
Achieve means to successfully reach a goal or complete something through effort and skill.
659
It always implies that it was not easy.
660
You achieved things that required something from you
661
if something came effortlessly you would not use achieve you achieve
662
what you are willing to be uncomfortable for next is fail
663
fail means to not succeed at something to fall short of what you were trying to do it sounds harsh
664
but it is a completely neutral verb in english it just
665
describes an outcome you fail a test you fail to notice something.
666
You fail at a task.
667
Learning to use it directly is actually a sign of confidence.
668
I failed more times than I can count.
669
I also kept going more times than I can count.
670
Those two things are connected.
671
Then succeed.
672
Succeed means to achieve what you set out to do, to reach a goal.
673
It is followed by in when a verb comes after it.
674
She succeeded in convincing them, not she succeeded to convince them.
675
This is a preposition that many learners get wrong.
676
You succeed at the thing you refuse to give up on.
677
Moving on, earn.
678
Earn means to receive something, usually money, but also respect, trust, or reputation.
679
As a result of your work or actions, the key idea is that you earned it, meaning it came from what you did, not from luck or a gift.
680
Earn the right to be trusted by being trustworthy before anyone is watching.
681
After that, spend.
682
Spend means to use money or time on something.
683
Both uses are extremely common and both are equally important.
684
You spend $20, but you also spend an afternoon.
685
Spend your energy.
686
Spend your attention.
687
Anything that get used up can be spent.
688
Spend your time like it is the thing you have the least of, because it is now share.
689
Share means to give part of something to others or to use something together or to tell someone something personal.
690
All three uses are common.
691
You share food, you share a workspace, and you share a story.
692
The emotional use, sharing something personal, is one of the most important in conversation.
693
Share what you know.
694
The more you give away, the more room there is for something new.
695
Next is support.
696
Support means to help someone or something in a sustained way.
697
Not just a one-time assist, but ongoing backing.
698
You support a person emotionally.
699
You support a cause.
700
You support a project.
701
It implies commitment, not just a moment of help.
702
Support the people around you on their hardest days.
703
That is when it actually means something.
704
Then allow.
705
Allow means to let something happen to give permission for something or to make space for it.
706
It is more formal than let, but both are used in conversation.
707
You allow someone to do something or you allow yourself something you usually would not.
708
Allow yourself to change your mind when you get better information.
709
After that, prevent.
710
Prevent means to stop something from happening before it occurs, to block it in advance.
711
It is followed by from and then a verb with ing.
712
She prevented me from making a mistake.
713
You cannot say prevent me to make.
714
The from and the ing are both required.
715
You cannot prevent.
716
Every mistake you can prevent the ones you have already made once.
717
Moving on, check.
718
Check means to look at something carefully to make sure it is correct, safe, or working as it should.
719
It is one of those simple verbs that does a lot of work in everyday English.
720
You check a message, check the time, check whether something is true.
721
It is also used in the expression check-in to update someone on how you were doing.
722
Check your assumptions as often as you check your phone.
723
Most of what you think you know is worth questioning.
724
And the final verb, number 100, Depend.
725
Depend means to rely on something or someone.
726
To need them in order to function or succeed.
727
It is always followed by on.
728
It depends on the situation.
729
You cannot just say it depends the situation.
730
The on is not optional.
731
And it depends by itself is also a complete, very common answer when something is uncertain.
732
It depends on what you are willing to do.
733
Everything does in the end.
734
One hundred verbs.
735
That is the engine of the English language.
736
Every story you want to tell, every opinion you want to share, every conversation you want to have, it runs on these words.
737
The sentences you just practiced are not examples.
738
They are real, real, real things you can say starting today.
739
So start saying them.
740
Start practicing.

वीडियो के छोटे, पूरे वाक्य जिन्हें आप रोज़ की बातचीत में इस्तेमाल कर सकते हैं:
- They are the ones you've studied multiple times.
- Let's look at an example.
- I'm there to motivate you.
इस वीडियो का व्याकरण
वक्ता जिन संरचनाओं का सबसे अधिक प्रयोग करता है, वीडियो के असली शब्दों के साथ:
| संरचना | वीडियो में |
|---|---|
| Present perfect continuous have/has been + -ing — पहले शुरू हुआ काम जो अब भी जारी है | i've been learning · have been avoiding |
| शर्त वाले वाक्य if + उपवाक्य, will/would + क्रिया — शर्त और उसका नतीजा | if knowing enough of them would finally · if something came effortlessly you would not |
| Present perfect have/has + past participle — बीता हुआ काम जिसका असर अभी भी है | you've studied · I've been · have run |
| Passive voice be + past participle — ज़ोर इस पर कि क्या होता है, न कि कौन करता है | is stuck · is not imagined · is left |
ध्यान देने योग्य उच्चारण
वक्ता 16 बार संक्षिप्त रूपों का प्रयोग करता है, जैसे I'm, don't, gonna। इन्हें वैसे ही छोटा बोलें जैसा आप सुनते हैं।
- “sh” और “zh” की ध्वनियाँ: pronunciation /pɹəˌnʌn.siˈeɪ.ʃən/, emotionally /ɪˈməʊʃənəli/, sensation /sɛnˈseɪʃən/, optional /ˈɑp.ʃə.nəl/, affection /əˈfɛk.ʃən/
- लंबे शब्द — बलाघात सही रखें: participle /ˈpɑɹtɪˌsɪpəl/, pronunciation /pɹəˌnʌn.siˈeɪ.ʃən/, emotionally /ɪˈməʊʃənəli/, irregular /ɪˈɹɛɡ.jə.lɚ/, uncomfortable /ʌnˈkʌm.fɚ.tə.bl̩/
हिंदी भाषियों के लिए मुश्किल ध्वनियाँ:
- /v/ और /w/ का फ़र्क़ — /v/ में ऊपर के दाँत निचले होंठ को छूते हैं, /w/ में होंठ गोल होते हैं: verb /vɝb/, convince /kənˈvɪns/, adjective /ˈæd͡ʒ.ɪk.tɪv/, invent /ɪnˈvɛnt/, vocabulary /vəˈkæb.jə.lə.ɹi/
- /z/ — इसे “ज” (/dʒ/) न बनाएँ: memorize /ˈmɛm.əˌɹaɪ̯z/, confuse /kənˈfjuːz/, propose /pɹəˈpəʊz/, pause /pɔːz/, resume /ˈɹɛz.ə.meɪ/
- शब्द की शुरुआत में s + व्यंजन — पहले “इ” न जोड़ें: spelling /ˈspɛl.ɪŋ/, swallow /ˈswɑ.loʊ/, stare /stɛɚ/, scare /skɛɚ/
इस वीडियो से अभ्यास कैसे करें
- पहले बिना बोले पूरा वीडियो एक बार सुनें और जो शब्द नहीं आते उन्हें लिख लें।
- 0.75× गति से शुरू करें, एक-एक वाक्य की शैडोइंग करें, और सहज लगने पर सामान्य गति पर लौटें।
- अपनी आवाज़ रिकॉर्ड करें और मूल से तुलना करें, ख़ासकर verb, participle, tense जैसे शब्दों पर ध्यान दें।
शैडोइंग तकनीक क्या है?
शैडोइंग (Shadowing) एक विज्ञान-समर्थित भाषा सीखने की तकनीक है जो मूल रूप से पेशेवर दुभाषिया प्रशिक्षण के लिए विकसित की गई थी। विधि सरल लेकिन शक्तिशाली है: आप मूल अंग्रेज़ी ऑडियो सुनते हैं और तुरंत इसे ज़ोर से दोहराते हैं — जैसे वक्ता की छाया 1-2 सेकंड की देरी से। शोध से पता चलता है कि यह उच्चारण सटीकता, स्वर, लय, जुड़ी हुई ध्वनियाँ, सुनने की समझ और बोलने की प्रवाहशीलता में काफ़ी सुधार करता है।
