How well do you know English?
2
Well, let's find out with five tricky adjectives that may not mean what you think.
3
I'm Nick from Coffee Break English, and these words can be especially tricky because they look similar to words in other languages.
4
But their meanings in English may be very different.
5
Keep track of your score out of five, and let's see how many can trick you.
6
Now you'll have three seconds to answer each question.
7
Let's go.
8
Here is question one.
9
The Coffee Break English course, Practical English for Real Life, gives you a comprehensive introduction to B1 English.
10
Now, which sentence describes the course?
11
The course is complete, The language is understandable or the teachers are kind.
12
Well, the answer is complete.
13
A. Comprehensive means covering everything or almost everything that you need.
14
And there are actually two traps here.
15
Don't confuse comprehensive with comprehensible, which means possible to understand.
16
And French comprehensive and Spanish and Italian comprensivo can describe a person who is understanding.
17
So a comprehensive English course is an English course which provides lots of information.
18
Okay now on to number two.
19
My son is very brave.
20
Does that mean a he always tells the truth, B.
21
He is always well behaved in school and he's never in trouble. Or C.
22
He isn't afraid to stand up in front of the class.
23
Well, this time the answer is C.
24
He isn't afraid to stand up in front of the class.
25
Now, German speakers, did you catch that one?
26
In modern German, brav commonly means good or well behaved,
27
especially when we're talking about children or animals.
28
And other languages have a similar word.
29
But brave in English is about having courage.
30
A well -behaved child isn't necessarily a brave child.
31
Okay, this next one catches a lot of learners out.
32
Listen carefully.
33
After months of discussion, their eventual decision was to move abroad.
34
Now, the eventual decision was A.
35
A possible decision, B.
36
A temporary decision, or C.
37
A final decision.
38
Hmm.
39
Well, the answer is C.
40
Eventual refers to the final decision.
41
What happens in the end?
42
Often after some time or some deliberation.
43
Now this is another tricky one because French eventuelle,
44
German eventuelle and Italian eventuelle can refer to something possible or potential.
45
Now let me know if my pronunciation is a bit off with those languages.
46
I'm not a fluent speaker in all of them.
47
Now in English, eventual doesn't mean possible.
48
Think eventual is the final result.
49
Now, two questions left.
50
I tell you, the film was terrific. Was the film A.
51
Really scary, B.
52
Amazing or C.
53
Really strange?
54
Well, this time the answer is B.
55
Amazing.
56
In everyday English, if something is terrific, it's very good. But...
57
This word can seem rather alarming if you speak another language.
58
Italian terrificante, French terrifying and Spanish terrorifico are connected with things that are terrifying or frightening in.
59
So a terrifying holiday?
60
Well that's probably not good.
61
But a terrific holiday?
62
That is excellent.
63
Okay final question.
64
I have a sensitive friend.
65
Which idea describes him?
66
Is it A.
67
He makes practical decisions.
68
B. He is easily affected or upset. Or C.
69
He can predict the future.
70
Well, the answer is B.
71
A sensitive person is easily affected by things emotionally or physically.
72
And be careful not to confuse sensitive with sensible.
73
Check out the other half of this quiz to find out the difference between those two words.
74
And how did you do in this quiz?
75
Let us know your score out of five in the comments.
76
And tell us which of these adjectives surprised you the most?
77
Remember, when an English word looks very similar to a word you already know,
78
don't automatically assume the meaning is the same.
79
Now the next quiz is on your screen now.
80
Watch it for another 5 tricky adjectives.
81
Thanks for watching and until next time, happy coffee breaking.

Gramática neste vídeo
As estruturas que o falante mais usa, com as palavras exatas do vídeo:
| Estrutura | No vídeo |
|---|---|
| Voz passiva be + particípio passado — o foco está no que acontece, não em quem faz | are connected · is easily affected |
| Orações relativas who / which + oração — informação extra sobre uma pessoa ou coisa | comprehensible, which means · person who is |
| Possibilidade com “might / may” might/may + verbo — algo possível, mas não certo | may not mean · may be |
| Present continuous am/is/are + -ing — algo que está acontecendo agora ou nestes dias | is understanding · we're talking |
Pronúncia para ficar de olho
O falante usa 10 contrações e formas reduzidas, como isn't, don't, I'm. Diga-as na forma curta, do jeito que você ouve.
- Os sons de “sh” e “zh”: emotionally /ɪˈməʊʃənəli/, pronunciation /pɹəˌnʌn.siˈeɪ.ʃən/, deliberation /dɪˌlɪbəˈɹeɪʃən/
- Palavras longas — acerte a sílaba tônica: comprehensive /ˌkɑm.pɹəˈhɛn.sɪv/, eventual /ɪˈvɛn.t͡ʃu.əl/, necessarily /ˌnɛs.əˈsɛɹ.ə.li/, temporary /ˈtɛmp(əˌɹ)ɛɹi/, emotionally /ɪˈməʊʃənəli/
Sons difíceis para falantes de português:
- Consoante final — sem acrescentar um “i” depois: trick /ˈtɹɪk/, abroad /əˈbɹɔːd/, connect /kəˈnɛkt/, trap /tɹæp/, predict /pɹɪˈdɪkt/
- /l/ final — a língua toca o céu da boca, não vira “u”: eventual /ɪˈvɛn.t͡ʃu.əl/, practical /ˈpɹæk.tɪ.kəl/, sensible /ˈsɛn.sɪ.bəl/, comprehensible /kɒmpɹəˈhɛnsɪbəl/
- /h/ — um sopro suave, diferente do “r”: comprehensive /ˌkɑm.pɹəˈhɛn.sɪv/, behave /bɪˈheɪv/, comprehensible /kɒmpɹəˈhɛnsɪbəl/
Como praticar com este vídeo
- Ouça o vídeo inteiro uma vez sem falar e anote as palavras que você não conhece.
- Faça shadowing frase por frase na velocidade normal, repetindo cada uma até o seu ritmo ficar igual ao do falante.
- Grave a sua voz e compare com o original, prestando atenção a palavras como comprehensive, eventual, tricky.
O que é a Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing é uma técnica de aprendizado de idiomas com base científica, originalmente desenvolvida para o treinamento de intérpretes profissionais. O método é simples, mas poderoso: você ouve áudio em inglês nativo e repete imediatamente em voz alta — como uma sombra seguindo o falante com 1-2 segundos de atraso. Pesquisas mostram melhora significativa na precisão da pronúncia, entonação, ritmo, sons conectados, compreensão auditiva e fluência na fala.
