It's genuinely one of the best resources I've ever created and I can't wait for you to see it.
24
Okay, let's begin for our first common mistake.
25
We're looking at in the end versus at the end.
26
Even higher level learners confuse these phrases and why wouldn't you?
27
It's just a tiny change of preposition, just two letters.
28
So which one do we need to complete this sentence?
29
In or at?
30
The end.
31
We decided to stay at home.
32
It should be in the end,
33
meaning finally or eventually, usually after a period of time, thought or difficulty.
34
Now this is a fixed idiomatic phrase referring to the final result or decision.
35
It's not used to talk about the literal or metaphorical end of something like a road or a a film.
36
Let's see two more examples.
37
In the end, we decided to move to London,
38
after a long time thinking about it.
39
Or, it was difficult, but in the end, everything worked out.
40
Finally, after some problems.
41
Now, at the end refers to the final point in time or space of something specific.
42
It's more literal than in the end.
43
It can be followed by of plus a noun.
44
So if we go back to the sentence in the introduction,
45
we now know that it should be,
46
there's a surprise at the end of the film, not in the end.
47
A couple more examples.
48
I'm always tired at the end of the week.
49
On Fridays, for example.
50
Or the station is at the end of this road.
51
Okay, mistake number two.
52
Try to correct this sentence.
53
I am again unemployed.
54
It should be, I'm unemployed again.
55
So we tend to place again at the end of a clause,
56
not in the middle.
57
This might be different to your first language.
58
In these examples, it means one more time.
59
For example, can you start the video again, please?
60
Or, we won't see each other again.
61
Now you'll sometimes see again before the main verb.
62
This is more formal than placing again at the end and is done for emphasis.
63
For even greater emphasis, we can add yet.
64
Yet again.
65
She yet again changed the project brief.
66
Now again and yet again can also appear at the beginning for emphasis.
67
Yet again, the train was delayed.
68
But we don't place it before an adjective,
69
so I'm again tired is not correct.
70
It's tricky to get this right,
71
but if you're in doubt,
72
placing again after the clause is a safe bet as it's the most common neutral option.
73
Don't worry if this doesn't seem totally clear.
74
We go into more detail and there are more examples in the ebook.

76
Okay, mistake number three is one of the mistakes I've heard most over the years.
77
Do you like coffee?
78
Yes, I like.
79
Now unfortunately that is not how we make short answers.
80
We will understand you if you say this,
81
it's not a communication issue,
82
but if we want to be grammatically correct we should say, yes, I do.
83
When replying to short questions we make yes or no short answers with an auxiliary verb,
84
the same one that's in the question,
85
not with the main verb.
86
Did they enjoy the party?
87
Yes, they did.
88
Not, yes, they enjoyed.
89
Has he visited Liverpool before?
90
No, he hasn't.
91
Not, no, he hasn't visited.
92
Now, you can give a full answer if you want to,
93
but this is less common in natural speech.
94
To like is a transitive verb,
95
so it needs an object.
96
Do you like coffee?
97
Yes, I like it.
98
Or, yes, I like coffee.
99
It's more common to use the pronoun rather than the noun to avoid repetition.
100
You can also just say,
101
yes, which makes things much easier.
102
But never, yes I like.
103
Sometimes intransitive verbs can be used alone in replies.
104
Did he laugh?
105
Yes, he laughed.
106
We usually only say this for emphasis.
107
For example, oh, he laughed,
108
as in he laughed a lot.
109
Generally, it's more natural to say, yes, he did.
110
Now, this is something that trips even advanced learners up.
111
So don't worry if still make this mistake.
112
Okay, mistake number four, try to correct this sentence.
113
That's the reason because I left.
114
Now, the easiest way is to simply remove because.
115
That's the reason I left.
116
You could also replace because with that or why,
117
but we don't say the reason because I did something.
118
So one way to use reason correctly is by following it with why or that plus a clause.
119
That's the reason why we cancelled the trip.
120
In informal English you can omit why or that.
121
The reason she left early was to get to her flight,
122
not the reason because she left or was because to get her flight.
123
There are lots of other structures we can use after reason,
124
but it's this particular one that my students make mistakes with.
125
Because is used as a conjunction to join two clauses showing cause and effect.
126
She left early because she needed to get her flight.
127
Try to use the weak form when because appears as part of a sentence.
128
Because, because with a schwa in the second syllable.
129
Not because.
130
You can say it, but because sounds more natural.
131
You'll often see because of followed by a noun.
132
We cancelled the trip because of the weather.
133
Okay, we're on to our final mistakes.
134
Students and native speakers, listen up.
135
Which word is contracted here?
136
I should have studied harder.
137
Is it should of or should have?
138
It's I should have studied harder,
139
not I should of studied harder.
140
Now, I think people use of because when have is contracted after a consonant sound,
141
it sounds the same as the weak form of of.
142
Have contracted.
143
Of, of contracted.
144
Of.
145
Should have, should've.
146
Would have, would've.
147
Could have, could've.
148
That of sound tricks our brain into thinking it's of and people make the mistake of saying it or writing it.
149
In fast speech we often use the informal contractions shoulda,
150
woulda and coulda which don't sound like they contain have either.
151
So the structure to form a clause with a past modal is modal verb plus have plus past participle.
152
I should have called her.
153
But in speech we tend to use contractions.
154
I should have called her.
155
This makes your English sound more natural than if you use the full form.
156
They would have bought it if it had been cheaper.
157
You could have been hurt.
158
We also use the same structure with other modal verbs like must and might.
159
I hear must of and might of but again, they're not correct.
160
She must have already gone home.
161
The dog might have eaten it.
162
Okay, are you ready to test what you've learnt?
163
I've got a short quiz for you.
164
Complete the gaps with one word from the video lesson to form a structure we've looked at today.
165
Here are the sentences.
166
One.
167
The reason they're upset is the sudden change in plans.
168
Two.
169
What happened?
170
The end of the film.
171
I fell asleep.
172
Three.
173
Do you like pancakes?
174
Yes, I...
175
Four.
176
You should.. gone to the doctor.
177
And five.
178
I can't believe he's late for work.
179
That's the third time this week.
180
I'll give you five seconds,
181
but pause if you need more time.
182
Okay, in number one, we can have that or why,
183
or we could just leave it blank.
184
We can't use because it doesn't join two clauses.
185
Two should be at the end,
186
the literal end point of the film.
187
Three, yes, I do.
188
Not yes, I like, which is grammatically incorrect.
189
Four, you should have gone or you should have gone,
190
not should of, which sounds the same in the short form but isn't correct.
191
And number five should be again.
192
He's late for work again,
193
with again placed naturally at the end.
194

Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?
Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
