1
Is your life full of dull, boring chores you'd rather not do?
2
Are there people you'd rather avoid?
3
I'm going to show you how to make excuses like an absolute pro, using just five conjunctions.
4
Tim and Yaz want me to go around to their place for dinner tonight, and they want to do karaoke.
5
I don't have the energy for this.
6
But anyway, I can't go unless I finish my work.
7
Yay, so I can go to Tim's house.
8
Great.
9
Oh, I can't go until the neighbours get back.
10
There are some suspicious people lurking outside their house.
11
Oh, great.
12
It wasn't burglars.
13
How fortunate it.
14
Well, looks like I'm going to Tim and Yaz.
15
Oh, no, no, no, no. This documentary is very educational.
16
I can't go before it finishes.
17
Oh, that's just great.
18
I guess I have to go to Tim and Yaz.
19
Oh, no, no, no, no. I can't go in case my package gets delivered.
20
If I'm not here, it.
21
They'll deliver it to the neighbours and they'll accidentally open it.
22
You can't be serious, but Tim and Yaz it is.
23
But no, no, look at the time.
24
The football has just finished.
25
I can't go out while all the fans are leaving the game.
26
The traffic will be awful.
27
Oh my days.
28
You know what?
29
No, I'm not going.
30
even though I have literally nothing else to do.
31
I can't go because I don't like karaoke and I can't go because I don't like Tim or Yaz.
32
Hi Tim.
33
Hi Yaz.
34
I'm so sorry.
35
I'm so tired.
36
I can't do anything until I've slept and when I wake up it'll be too late.
37
So maybe you noticed that all these excuses have the same basic structure.
38
I can't go plus the conjunction plus the excuse.
39
The conjunction joins together the parts of the sentence and changes their relationship, so it changes the meaning of the sentence.
40
First, I said I can't go unless I finish my work.
41
I can go if I finish my work, unless is the conjunction.
42
Then I said I can't go until the neighbors get back i can go
43
when the neighbors have returned
44
and then i said i can't go before the documentary finishes the conjunction is before we could also say until
45
that is i can go after the documentary finishes next up
46
i can't go out in case my package gets delivered the conjunction here is in case we use this conjunction
47
when we want to take steps to prevent something happening i don't want to go out
48
because i don't want to miss my delivery next i said i can't go out
49
while the fans are leaving the game the conjunction here is
50
while the fans are driving home
51
and i can't go out at the same time oh oh hang on oh you've got to be joking
52
They want to come round to my house tomorrow, oh quick, what should I say help?

Gramática neste vídeo
As estruturas que o falante mais usa, com as palavras exatas do vídeo:
| Estrutura | No vídeo |
|---|---|
| Present perfect have/has + particípio passado — uma ação passada que ainda importa agora | has just finished · I've slept · have returned |
| Present continuous am/is/are + -ing — algo que está acontecendo agora ou nestes dias | are leaving · I'm not going · are driving |
| Futuro com “will” will + verbo — uma decisão, promessa ou previsão | They'll deliver · will be · it'll be |
Pronúncia para ficar de olho
O falante usa 35 contrações e formas reduzidas, como can't, I'm, don't. Diga-as na forma curta, do jeito que você ouve.
- Os sons de “sh” e “zh”: conjunction /kənˈd͡ʒʌŋk.ʃn̩/, suspicious /səˈspɪʃ.əs/
- Palavras longas — acerte a sílaba tônica: documentary /ˌdɒk.jʊˈmɛn.tɹi/, accidentally /ˌæk.sɪˈdɛnt(ə)li/, karaoke /ˈkæ.ɹiˌəʊ.ki/
Sons difíceis para falantes de português:
- Consoante final — sem acrescentar um “i” depois: fortunate /ˈfɔɹ.t͡ʃə.nɪt/, lurk /lɝk/
- /l/ final — a língua toca o céu da boca, não vira “u”: awful /ˈɔːfʊl/, dull /dʌl/
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 conjunction, neighbour, documentary.
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.
