1
Have you ever used sentences like these?
2
Probably I'll go out tonight.
3
It's a quite big house.
4
Or I ate the three last biscuits.
5
If you have, I'm afraid you're making some very common English mistakes but don't worry, today we're looking at five of the most common ones but more importantly, how to correct them.
6
Now, this video is part of a big series on my channel that comes with a free ebook.
7
So, I need to tell you about something incredible.
8
I have created a brand new, completely free ebook.
9
It changes everything.
10
35 common mistakes English learners make and how to fix them this powerful ebook will help you fix some of the most common errors english learners make immediately inside you will find everything from today's lesson plus 30 more mistakes that my teaching team and i have seen again and again and yes for now i'm offering it to you for free just sign up to my mailing list using the link in the description or scan the qr code now.
11
I'll send it straight to your inbox.
12
It's genuinely one of the best resources I've ever created and I can't wait for you to see it.
13
Okay, let's begin.
14
Can you spot the mistake in this sentence?
15
Probably, I'll go out tonight.
16
Now, we don't usually use probably at the beginning of a sentence.
17
It just doesn't sound natural.
18
But where should it go?
19
Well, some adverbs of certainty like probably, possibly, certainly, and definitely usually go directly before the main verb.
20
We call this the mid position.
21
So it should be, I'll probably go out tonight.
22
Go is the main verb.
23
Will is the auxiliary.
24
Now with the negative contracted form won't, the order is different.
25
it is incorrect to say, I won't probably go out tonight.
26
Instead, it's, I probably won't go out tonight.
27
I probably won't speak to him again today.
28
Try to learn these chunks.
29
Try to remember them.
30
I'll probably, I probably won't.
31
Now, a note on pronunciation here, it's very important.
32
probably can be pronounced with three syllables, probably.
33
But many speakers will reduce it to just two in fast speech.
34
Probably.
35
I'll probably go.
36
Let's see some more examples.
37
I probably need more time.
38
We can't possibly finish decorating the flat in two days.
39
Now, an exception.
40
This This is English.
41
We love exceptions.
42
When the main verb is to be, these adverbs usually appear after it.
43
As in, this is probably the best restaurant in the neighbourhood.
44
We can use these adverbs alone in short answers.
45
Are you going out tonight?
46
Yeah, probably.
47
Do you think it'll rain?
48
Possibly.
49
Who knows?
50
Now, take a look at the ebook, the free ebook, to learn about the positions of other adverbs of certainty.
51
You can scan the QR code there or the link is in the description box.
52
Okay, for our second common mistake, we have another word order problem.
53
Can you spot it here?
54
It's a quite big house.
55
Well, it should be, it's quite a big house.
56
Now, I think I understand why my students make this mistake.
57
I think they copy the position of very.
58
Both of these sentences are correct.
59
It's very big.
60
It's quite big.
61
Very or quite plus adjective.
62
But, and here's the issue, the words behave differently when the adjective comes before a noun.
63
Listen, it's a very big house.
64
It's quite a big house.
65
Quite goes before the article, adjective, and noun.
66
Again, it's a good idea to memorise and repeat chunks.
67
It's quite a, he's quite a, that was quite an, for example.
68
Notice how the t sound at the end of quite joins the vowel sound a, quite a, quite an.
69
Now when you're in conversation and want to add specific details, it should be easier.
70
He's quite a talented musician.
71
That was quite an interesting lecture.
72
Very, really, and pretty all follow a different structure.
73
A plus very, really, or pretty, plus adjective, plus noun.
74
It's a really good film.
75
She had a pretty unusual name.
76
Okay, let's move on to mistake number three now.
77
We're sticking with word order.
78
Word order is tough, but we're really going to focus on it today.
79
Can you correct this sentence?
80
I ate the three last biscuits.
81
Now, I hear things like this all the time, but it should be, I ate the last three biscuits.
82
That's a tough pronunciation challenge, isn't it?
83
Last three, the t and then th.
84
Last three biscuits.
85
We would actually allied the t sound in last and say last three biscuits to make it a little bit easier.
86
Now, if you say the three last biscuits, there is no communication problem.
87
People will understand what you mean, so don't get stressed about this.
88
But if you can correct all of the word order mistakes we're looking at today, you'll sound more natural and more fluent.
89
I think it's a mistake that's worth correcting nice and early so that you don't have to correct it when you're at C1, C2 level and it's embedded in your brain.
90
Here's a similar mistake I've heard before.
91
The two first chapters are quite slow.
92
Perfectly understandable, but it should be the first two chapters are quite slow.
93
Why?
94
Well, in English, words like first, last, next, and past come before a number.
95
A couple more sentences.
96
I'm booked solid for the next three weeks, not the three next weeks, the next three weeks.
97
Or she's been to Edinburgh twice in the past six months, not the six past months.
98
We also use this word order with other phrases like the first few or the past several.
99
I only watched the first few minutes, not the few first minutes.
100
Or it's been sunny for the past several days, not the several past days.
101
Take a look at the ebook to see even more examples and another word that follows this pattern.
102
We're moving away from word order.
103
So what's wrong with this sentence?
104
I saw everything which happened.
105
Which isn't very natural.
106
And if you think it should be what, I'm afraid that's not right either.
107
The best choice is that.
108
I saw everything that happened.
109
Now, after words like everything, anything, nothing and all, we tend to use the relative pronoun that to introduce defining relative clauses.
110
These clauses give us essential information.
111
We don't usually use which after those words.
112
For example, is there anything that I can do to help?
113
Or there's nothing that we can do now.
114
Or they are all that matters.
115
In speech, we can leave out that if it's the object of the relative clause.
116
For example, is there anything I can do to help?
117
There's nothing we can do now.
118
But we can't do it with they're all matters.
119
That is the subject of the clause.
120
Take a look at the ebook for an exception to this rule.
121
You can scan that QR code there or click the link in the description box.
122
It's free to download.
123
Now, what is not a traditional relative pronoun, so we don't use it to introduce a relative clause.
124
This sentence is considered grammatically incorrect, though you will hear it in some dialects.
125
I saw everything, what happened?
126
I recommend using that unless you're specifically trying to use a dialect that uses what instead of that.
127
Okay, we're onto the final sentence.
128
Is this a mistake?
129
I cut my hair.
130
Well, the answer is maybe.
131
I cut my hair is a grammatically correct sentence That means I cut my own hair.
132
I took a pair of scissors and chopped.
133
Now, in my case, that would be a big mistake.
134
I prefer to go to a hairdresser.
135
So how would I say that?
136
I had my hair cut or I got my hair cut.
137
This is called a causative structure.
138
Have or get plus object plus past participle.
139
to have something done or to get something done.
140
It's used when someone else does something for us, usually a paid service.
141
Can you repair your own car?
142
If the answer is no, use the causative.
143
I had my car repaired yesterday.
144
A mechanic did it.
145
Would you paint your own house?
146
I mean, it actually sounds like fun, but I'm not sure it would look very good if I did it.
147
So I might say, we're having the house painted next month.
148
A professional painter is doing it.
149
Notice that only have or get change tense.
150
We always use the past participle after the object.
151
We can use the same structure to say that something bad happened to us, usually when we didn't cause the bad thing to happen.
152
For example, I had my wallet stolen last night.
153
Or she got her car broken into.
154
do.
155
Someone did these things to us.
156
Again, there are more examples with the causative in the ebook.
157
It's quite a useful structure to learn.
158
It's a really useful structure.
159
Okay, we have time for a little quiz before we finish the lesson.
160
Some of these sentences contain mistakes.
161
If there is a mistake, correct it.
162
I'll read them out for you.
163
One, who ate the two last slices of pizza?
164
Two, she told me nothing that I didn't know already.
165
Three, I'm having a tooth taken out tomorrow.
166
Four, we had a quite good meal at that restaurant.
167
And five, probably she'll help.
168
I'll give you five seconds, but pause if you need more time.
169
Okay, number one, contained a mistake.
170
It should be the last two slices of pizza.
171
Remember we put words like last and first before numbers in English.
172
The second sentence was correct.
173
We usually use nothing that in relative clauses, not nothing which or nothing what.
174
Number three was also correct.
175
I definitely wouldn't want to take my own tooth out.
176
So the causative structure, meaning someone else will do it, is right.
177
Number four was incorrect.
178
It should be, we had quite a good meal.
179
Remember it's quite plus article, adjective, noun.
180
And number five also had a mistake.
181
The most natural way to say this is, she'll probably help.
182
with probably before the main verb.
183
So how did you do out of five?
184
Let me know in the comments.
185
And don't forget to download the 35 Mistakes ebook.

You're going to love it.

It is absolutely huge and it's free.

Пошаговое руководство по синхронной речи

Чтобы лучше усвоить материал из данного видео, можно воспользоваться методом shadowing (синхронной речи). Этот метод позволяет изучать английский язык с помощью прослушивания и повторения фраз, что помогает улучшить произношение и беглость. Вот как вы можете подойти к этому:

  1. Выбор фразы: Начните с одной из представленных фраз. Например, возьмите "I'll probably go out tonight."
  2. Прослушивание: Внимательно послушайте, как произносится фраза в видео. Задержите видео на паузу, если необходимо, чтобы уловить каждое слово.
  3. Повторение: После прослушивания попробуйте произнести фразу самостоятельно. Сравните своё произношение с оригинальным.
  4. Комбинация: Постепенно добавляйте новые фразы из видео. Практикуйте их в контексте, чтобы они стали вам привычны.
  5. Запись: Запишите свой голос и прослушайте его, чтобы заметить области для улучшения.

Старайтесь регулярно практиковать shadowing английский, используя ресурсы, как shadowing site или учить английский с YouTube, чтобы улучшить свои навыки и уверенность в разговорной речи.

Что такое техника Shadowing?

Shadowing — это научно обоснованная техника изучения языка, изначально разработанная для подготовки профессиональных переводчиков и популяризированная полиглотом доктором Александром Аргуэльесом. Метод прост, но эффективен: вы слушаете аудио на английском от носителей языка и немедленно повторяете вслух — как тень, следующая за говорящим с задержкой в 1–2 секунды. В отличие от пассивного прослушивания или грамматических упражнений, Shadowing заставляет мозг и мышцы рта одновременно обрабатывать и воспроизводить реальные речевые паттерны. Исследования показывают, что это значительно улучшает точность произношения, интонацию, ритм, связную речь, понимание на слух и беглость речи — что делает его одним из самых эффективных методов для подготовки к IELTS Speaking и реального общения на английском.
