35
Eighty thousand people saw his face.

So here is the question.

47
Now let's start with our story.
48
So Tom, let's tell everyone how this trip happened.
49
Okay, so as you all know, I'm from the USA.
50
And this year the World Cup is here, in my home country.
51
And I'm from South Korea.
52
So when South Korea came to play a match in the USA, I said, "Tom, we are going.
53
No discussion.
54
We are going." She didn't ask me.
55
She just bought two tickets and sent me a photo of them.
56
That's called good planning, Tom.
57
Okay, okay.
58
So we woke up at 6 in the morning.
59
I wore my red South Korea jersey, red from head to toe.
60
And I wore my USA cap.
61
We looked like a walking flag store.
62
The train to the stadium was full of fans.
63
People were singing, people were drumming.
64
One man had a giant horn.
65
Oh, that horn.
66
He played it next to my ear for 45 minutes.
67
Your face was so angry, but you couldn't say anything because he was two meters tall.
68
He was a mountain lily.
69
A friendly, loud mountain.
70
And then we saw it.
71
The stadium.
72
Tom, tell them.
73
I have never seen anything so big in my life.
74
It was like a spaceship landed in the middle of the city.
75
80 ,000 seats.
76
The Korean fans were all together in one section, a sea of red, and they were chanting, Dae, Han, Min, Guk.
77
Clap, clap, clap, clap, clap.
78
Even I learned the chant.
79
I was chanting for Korea and for the USA.
80
I was very confused, but very happy.
81
And then Tom got hungry, of course.
82
Lunchtime, Lily.
83
A man needs energy.
84
So Tom bought a huge hot dog.
85
Huge.
86
With extra mustard.
87
Remember this detail, everyone.
88
The hot dog with extra mustard.
89
This is important.
90
That's clue number one.
91
I said nothing.
92
And then we found our seats, the match started, and the rest is history.
93
The best day ever, even with the thing that happened.
94
Especially with the thing that happened.
95
Okay, did you notice something about our story?
96
Tom and I were using a special grammar.
97
Today's grammar is the past simple tense.
98
Past simple.
99
It's the grammar we use to tell stories about finished actions, things that happened yesterday, last week, or last month.
100
Let me show you.
101
I said, "We woke up at 6.
102
I wore my red jersey.
103
We saw the stadium." Past forms.
104
The action is finished.
105
It happened, and now it's over.
106
The good news is many verbs are easy.
107
You just add -ed at the end.
108
For example, watch becomes watched.
109
We watched the match.
110
"Cheer" becomes "cheered." The fans cheered for 90 minutes.
111
And "play" becomes "played." South Korea played a fantastic match.
112
But Lily, some verbs are a little naughty.
113
They don't follow the rules.
114
Yes, the irregular verbs.
115
Go becomes went.
116
We went to the stadium, not go -ed, went.
117
Buy becomes bought.
118
I bought a delicious hot dog.
119
And eat becomes ate.
120
Tom ate that hot dog very, very fast.
121
Clue number two, everyone.
122
Lily, you're giving them too much.
123
Okay, okay.
124
So remember the pattern: we went, we saw, we cheered, we ate.
125
When you tell a story about your day, use the past simple.
126
Try it today.
127
Write one sentence in the comments about your weekend using the past simple.

Practice daily, and consider jotting down new vocabulary as you learn English with YouTube. Let this lesson lead you to becoming a proficient English speaker who can engage in conversations about one of the world's most popular sports!
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 โ als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1โ2 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 โ waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
