레슨 만드는 중...
1
Hello, lovely students, and welcome back to English with Lucy.
2
Some English verbs are incredibly confusing.
3
Some of them sound really similar, like the verbs wander and wonder.
4
Some have really similar meanings, like see, watch, and look.
5
Or it can be really tricky to choose the right preposition or adverb.
6
Did he fall off, fall over or fall down?
7
Well, today you are in luck.
8
I have compiled some of the most commonly confused verbs and we are going to eliminate any doubts you might have.
9
You are going to have some Eureka moments.

20
Let's get started with number one, hear versus listen.
21
We use hear to describe the process of sounds coming into your ears, whether you want them to or not, and that's the key.
22
For example, did you hear those dogs barking?
23
The noise kept me up all night.
24
No, I had earplugs in so I couldn't hear anything.
25
We also use here with the meaning of to be told something.
26
For example, Emma got the job, so I've heard, so I've been told.
27
Now listening on the other hand is intentional.
28
When you listen, you have to focus and pay attention.
29
For example, I'm listening to a really good podcast at the moment, or he told me what the plan was,
30
but I wasn't really listening.
31
So hearing no effort, listening intentional requires effort.
32
It's that simple.
33
Number two, We have see, look, and watch, or I should really say see, look at, and watch.
34
I get questions about these verbs all the time.
35
See is similar to here.
36
It's the process of noticing something, but this time with the eyes, no effort required.
37
For example, we could see the Eiffel Tower from our hotel window, or I didn't see the person who snatched my phone.
38
Look at means to move your eyes in a particular direction in order to see something.
39
For example, look at that man dressed as a horse or look at me when I'm talking to you, please.
40
The action of looking is generally quite short.
41
Watch, on the other hand, is when you look at something or somebody for a longer period of time.
42
What you're watching will usually be moving like a film, a YouTube video, a play, or a concert.
43
The action generally involves more effort.
44
For example, watch how I play it and then you can try and copy.
45
Or did you watch the game last night?
46
Now, you can see or watch a film, but be careful, we don't see television.
47
We watch television.
48
For example, we're going to watch or we're going to see Gladiator 2 if you fancy joining us, or I rarely watch TV these days,
49
not I rarely see TV.
50
Okay, number three, fit and suit.
51
Here are two questions that I frequently ask my husband, but what's the difference in meaning?
52
Number one, does this dress suit me?
53
And number two, does this dress
54
fit me
55
and yes i said suit not sweet suit we pronounce suit
56
with the long ooh as in boot suit okay we use
57
the verb suit to ask about how attractive an item of clothing an accessory
58
or even a hairstyle makes a person look
59
if someone says wow those jeans really suit you they're saying
60
those jeans look good on you you look attractive wearing them we use fit to talk about the size
61
and shape of something.
62
For example, you can have that T -shirt.
63
It doesn't fit me anymore.
64
It's too big or too small for my body.
65
You'll often hear people say something fits well or nicely.
66
And I love the idiomatic expression to fit like a glove, which means to fit perfectly.
67
Oh, and I can't be on this topic and not mention go with.
68
We use this phrase with the meaning of combine well.
69
That bag goes really well with those shoes.
70
Your bag matches your shoes or your bag combines well with your shoes.
71
They look good together.
72
It's a vibe.
73
Okay, let's move on to number four.
74
We have mind and matter.
75
Now, these two verbs can cause a lot of confusion if we mix them up.
76
What is the difference between these two sentences?
77
Which one are you likely to say more often?
78
I don't mind.
79
I don't matter.
80
So we usually use mind in questions and negatives.
81
I don't mind means it's not a problem for me.
82
For example, I don't mind doing the washing up.
83
I'm happy to do it.
84
Or we don't mind the noise from the traffic.
85
It doesn't bother us.
86
And in the question form, it can be used to make a polite request.
87
Would you mind taking me to the airport?
88
Notice how we can use a noun or the ing verb after mind.
89
We also often use not mind to say that we are happy with any options offered to us.
90
For example, do you fancy going out for dinner or should we stay in?
91
I don't mind.
92
I'd be happy doing either.
93
And what about the second sentence?
94
I don't matter.
95
I really hope you never say this.
96
If something matters to you, it's important to you.
97
So if you say, I don't matter, you're saying, I'm not important.
98
I recommend memorising these two phrases together.
99
I don't mind, it doesn't matter.
100
We use matter to reassure someone that something isn't important.
101
Oh no, I forgot to buy the milk.
102
It doesn't matter, we can do without it.
103
Now, rather confusingly, you can also use the expression, nevermind here with the same meaning.
104
And one final point here, don't mix, I don't mind up with, I don't care.
105
If used with the wrong tone of voice, I don't care can make you sound angry or disinterested.
106
Compare the responses to the question.
107
What do you fancy for dinner?
108
I don't mind.
109
I'd genuinely be happy with anything you make for me.
110
I don't care.
111
That means, leave me alone.
112
I don't want to have to think about this right now.
113
I'm too busy.
114
The difference is quite clear.
115
Okay, number five.
116
We're going to take a look at two verbs with very different meanings that sound ridiculously similar.
117
Wonder and wonder.
118
Can you hear the difference?
119
I pronounced wonder with the O as in a, wonder with the a vowel sound in up, wonder.
120
Lots of speakers in the North of England will use the a vowel sound like in put, wonder.
121
Wonder spelt with an A is pronounced with the short off vowel,
122
like in October and hot, wonder, wonder, wonder.
123
Can you hear the difference?
124
But what do they mean?
125
Well, wonder is a very useful verb, which means to ask yourself something you wish you knew the answer to.
126
I wonder what Diego's thinking right now.
127
In fact, I know what he's thinking.
128
It's his dinner time.
129
We're nearly at the end of the lesson.
130
Or I wonder what Will's bought me for my birthday.
131
Wonder has nothing to do with wonder.
132
Wonder means to walk around a place with no set plan or purpose.
133
Like we wandered around the narrow streets of Venice for hours.
134
Or the very famous line from the William Wordsworth poem, I wandered lonely as a cloud.
135
Let's use them both in a sentence.
136
I wonder where Diego wanders when Will and I are working.
137
Next, we have fall off, fall over, and fall down.
138
I cannot count the number of times
139
that a student has told me they've fallen down their bike or fallen over the stairs.
140
These are incorrect.
141
Let's clear this one up once and for all.
142
We use the verb fall when we suddenly drop from the position we are in towards the ground.
143
We have a fight with gravity and gravity wins.
144
Fall off can have an object, and this object is usually something we've been sitting on.
145
For example, I fell off my bike, a horse, my chair, the roof, I hope not.
146
Fall over is when you suddenly drop to the ground from a standing or upright position.
147
and it doesn't need an object.
148
I fell over and banged my knees.
149
It doesn't need an object, but it can have one.
150
For example, the dog fell over the cliff.
151
Fall down is most commonly used for stairs or steps.
152
It can be used with other inclined objects like a hill or a slope.
153
My brother fell down the stairs and broke his ankle.
154
Okay, I think it's time for a quiz to see what you remember.
155
I have five sentences for you to complete with the correct verb.
156
Make sure you conjugate the verbs.
157
Make sure you use them in the correct form.
158
Keep track of your score and let me know how you did in the comments.
159
Number one, my baby's growing so fast, none of her clothes hurt anymore.
160
Is it fit or suit? Did you say suit?
161
I hope not, because the correct answer is fit.
162
Her clothes are too small.
163
They are no longer the right size or shape.
164
Number two, I forgot to pick up your parcel.
165
It, I can get it on my way home.
166
Do we say it doesn't matter or it doesn't mind?
167
You should say it doesn't matter.
168
Number three, we spend hours, the streets of Seville.
169
I want you to use wonder or wander.
170
Did you say wandering with the oh sound?
171
Well done.
172
Wonder means to ask yourself a question.
173
Number four, have you seen that reel of the girl dressed up as a ghost falling the stairs?
174
Is it off, over, or down?
175
That's right, we fall down the stairs, just like we do with other inclined places like hills and slopes.
176
And last one now, number five.
177
Sorry, I couldn't, you, I had my earphones in.
178
Is it hear or listen to?
179
It should be, I couldn't hear you.
180
The earphones blocked the sound of your voice.
181
Right.
182
Let me know your score out of five.
183
That's it for today.
184
I hope the lesson has cleared up lots of doubts.
185
I've included lots more interesting bits of information about these verbs and another quiz in the PDF.
186
So don't forget to download it.
187
The link is in the description box.
188
I will see you soon for another lesson.

쉐도잉이란? 영어 실력을 빠르게 키우는 과학적 방법
쉐도잉(Shadowing)은 원래 전문 통역사 훈련을 위해 개발된 언어 학습 기법으로, 다언어 학자인 Dr. Alexander Arguelles에 의해 대중화된 방법입니다. 핵심 원리는 간단하지만 매우 강력합니다: 원어민의 영어를 들으면서 1~2초의 짧은 지연으로 즉시 소리 내어 따라 말하는 것——마치 '그림자(shadow)'처럼 화자를 따라가는 것입니다. 문법 공부나 수동적인 청취와 달리, 쉐도잉은 뇌와 입 근육이 동시에 실시간으로 영어를 처리하고 재현하도록 훈련합니다. 연구에 따르면 이 방법은 발음 정확도, 억양, 리듬, 연음, 청취력, 말하기 유창성을 크게 향상시킵니다. IELTS 스피킹 준비와 자연스러운 영어 소통을 원하는 분들에게 특히 효과적입니다.
