1
Why do English teachers hate McDonald's?
2
Okay, so maybe we're not hating it but we are definitely not loving it.
3
Some of us might be liking it and I suppose overall we're probably being okay with it.
4
Did you notice anything strange about the verbs in that sentence?
5
I used them all in the continuous form but I shouldn't really have done that because they're state verbs.
6
This means that they should be in the simple form and not the continuous form with ing.
7
And that's why so many English teachers were upset when McDonald's started using their famous slogan, I'm loving it.
8
State verbs are also known as stative or non -action verbs.
9
The clue is in the name.
10
These verbs are not actions and so we don't use them in the continuous form.
11
State verbs fall into four main categories.
12
Thoughts and opinions like agree, know, think and understand.
13
Feelings and emotions like love, hate, prefer and want.
14
Senses and perceptions be, appear and seem.
15
And possessions and measurements have, possess, measure and way.
16
When these verbs describe states and not actions, we don't use them in the continuous form.
17
Simple, right?
18
But the tricky thing is that many of these verbs can also be used to describe actions.
19
And then we can use them in the continuous form because they are action verbs.
20
For example, you could say, I think Pride and Prejudice is one of the best books ever written.
21
And you'd be right, for two reasons.
22
Firstly, because you use the simple form of think.
23
It's an opinion, so a non -action verb.
24
And secondly, because Pride and Prejudice is pure genius.
25
So of course you're right.
26
However, you could also say, I'm thinking about going on a Jane Austen -themed holiday.
27
Write again.
28
Here, thinking is an action.
29
It's something you're doing right now and you haven't decided yet.
30
So you use the continuous form.
31
And obviously, that holiday is absolutely the right choice.
32
I will see you there.
33
Another example is see.
34
When it means understand, use it in the simple form as a state verb.
35
Oh, I see your point.
36
The same goes for when it means perceive, like, do you see that beautiful bird over there?
37
It's a perception, so it's a state verb.
38
However, we also use see in the continuous to refer to plans, like, I'm seeing Olivia Rodrigo in concert next week.
39
Jealous?
40
That's an action, so it's continuous.
41
Seeing in the continuous form is also used for dating or romantic relationships.
42
Once I had a very confusing conversation with a friend who speaks English as a second language.
43
He asked me, are you still seeing Anna?
44
And I replied, no, Anna is my friend, not my girlfriend.
45
We were both really confused until I realized that he meant, do you still see Anna?
46
Do you and Anna still meet regularly?
47
In this case, choosing between the simple and the continuous form actually changes the meaning of the sentence.
48
Another example of when the meaning changes is with the verb be.
49
What's the difference between you're so annoying and you're being so annoying?
50
In the first one, when I use the simple form, I mean you're annoying all the time.
51
It's just your personality.
52
In the second one, in the continuous form, it's a temporary action.
53
You're being annoying right now, but I expect it to stop.
54
Hopefully soon.
55
So remember, state verbs fit into the four categories that we mentioned, but many of these verbs can also be action verbs.
56
It all depends on the context.
57
This is an area of the English language which is evolving and changing quite quickly, maybe because of the influence of companies like McDonald's.
58
The best way to stay up to date is to make sure you watch, read and listen to as much authentic English as possible.
59
So you see lots of examples of this language in context.
60
You will understand how to use state verbs correctly in no time.
61
And stay up to date with the language as it evolves.
62
And who knows?
63
Maybe one day even English teachers will be loving it.

Что вы узнаете?

Этот урок поможет вам разобраться с состоятельными глаголами — тем, как их использовать в простом и продолженном времени, и избежать ошибок, которые делают многие изучающие английский. Вы научитесь отличать состояния от действий в контексте, что критически важно для практики разговорного английского. Также поймете, как изменяется смысл предложения в зависимости от времени глагола, например, когда "You're annoying" означает постоянную черту характера, а "You're being annoying" — временное поведение.

Слушайте, как звучают соединенные речи

В видео есть примеры слияний и сокращений, которые важно заметить для естественного произношения. Например, фраза "I'm lovin' it" содержит сокращение "I'm" и нестандартное использование "lovin'" (хотя по правилам оно должно быть "love"). Также обратите внимание на "I'm thinking about" — здесь "thinking about" сливается в один поток речи, а "about" звучит как "əˈbaʊt" с редуцированным первым звуком. Эти детали помогут вам лучше разбираться в живой речи и тренироваться в shadow speech.

Говорите, как носитель:ритм и ударения

Чтобы подражать носителю, обратите внимание на ритм и ударения в примерах. Например, в "I think Pride and Prejudice is one of the best books" ударение падает на "think", "Pride", "Prejudice", "best", "books" — это делает речь динамичной. В продолженном времени, как в "I'm thinking about going", ударение на "thinking" и "going" подчеркивает действие. Тренируйтесь с shadowing английский: повторяйте после спикера сразу же, копируя его темп и интонацию. Это поможет вам привыкнуть к естественному использованию состояятельных глаголов и сделать речь более уверенной. А если вы регулярно учите английский по видео, то скоро начнете использовать эти правила автоматически!

Грамматика в этом видео

Конструкции, которые говорящий использует чаще всего, с точными словами из видео:

КонструкцияВ видео

Пассивный залог be + причастие прошедшего времени — важно, что происходит, а не кто это делаетare also known · is also used
Придаточные определительные who / which + предложение — уточнение о человеке или предметеfriend who speaks · language which is
Совет с «should» should + глагол — сказать, что стоит сделатьshouldn't really have · should be

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.
