1
From VOA Learning English, this is Everyday Grammar.
2
Imagine two American students are talking outside of their school.
3
Let's listen to the imaginary conversation.
4
Today is going slow.
5
Yeah, I guess we should study for our grammar test.
6
That sounds like a terrible idea.
7
Yeah, but if we don't study, we won't do good on the test.
8
Fine.
9
Let's go study our notes quick.
10
Then we can play video games.
11
These bad students may hate grammar,
12
but they just taught you some common grammatical structures in conversational American English.
13
In today's report, we will study how conversational grammar differs from written and formal grammatical structures.
14
We will show you how some Americans use adjectives and adverbs in casual conversation.
15
Adjectives are words that give information about nouns.
16
They generally appear before nouns, although they also appear after linking verbs.
17
Here are two examples.
18
You are a good student.
19
Learning English is fun.
20
In the two example sentences, the words good and fun are adjectives.
21
They are telling you something about a noun.
22
Adverbs are often used to modify adjectives or verbs.
23
They give information about reason, manner, time, and so on.
24
For example, the adverb loudly appears in this sentence.
25
We sang loudly.
26
The adverb loudly modifies the past tense verb sang.
27
It tells about the way in which the subject, we, sang.
28
Adverbs often have an ly ending, but there are many that do not.
29
You can read more about adverbs in past everyday grammar stories.
30
Let's think back to the conversation we heard at the beginning of the story.
31
Today is going slow.
32
Yeah, I guess we should study for our grammar test.
33
That sounds like a terrible idea.
34
Yeah, but if we don't study, we won't do good on the test.
35
Fine.
36
Let's go study our notes quick.
37
Then we can play video games.
38
Notice that the words are used differently from what might be taught in an English class.
39
In casual conversation, Americans often use adjective forms in place of adverbs.
40
They may use adjective forms to modify verbs.
41
For example, the students use good,
42
a word that is normally an adjective, as an adverb.
43
One student says, we won't do good on the test.
44
In writing and in formal conversation, Americans generally do not use the word good this way.
45
Instead, they use the word well.
46
In formal writing or speaking, you would be more likely to see or hear the sentence,
47
we won't do well on the test.
48
Americans also may use an adverb but choose not to say an ly ending.
49
For example, the student says, today is going slow, instead of today is going slowly.
50
You would be more likely to read slowly in academic writing,
51
write Susan Conrad and Douglas Biber, two English grammar experts.
52
These grammatical structures are not necessarily slang.
53
They are not necessarily impolite, either.
54
You might hear some of these structures in a restaurant, at a job fair, or even at work.
55
For example, a boss might tell an employee, we need to do this quick,
56
about a project that must be completed quickly.
57
This is the same pattern that the students used in their conversation.
58
Conrad and Beiber say that in formal speech and writing, adjective forms are almost never used to modify verbs.
59
In addition, adverbs with ly endings are more common in writing,
60
particularly in academic and news writing.
61
The good news is this.
62
We are not asking you to memorize any of the patterns we have talked about today.
63
What we hope to do is show you that the grammatical patterns in conversation
64
do not always match the patterns used in formal writing or speech.
65
There is more flexibility in casual speech.
66
Understanding this idea will help you understand Americans when they speak,
67
and it will help you sound more natural when you speak to Americans.
68
You might also be pleased to know that Americans will not judge you severely
69
if you use an adjective in place of an adverb.
70
In fact, they probably would do the same.
71
I'm Jill Robbins. And I'm John Russell.

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?
Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
