Hi friends!
2
Welcome back to Daily English Talk.
3
Hey everyone!
4
I'm Tom and this is Lily and we are your English learning friends.
5
That's right and today we have really really important lesson for you.
6
Two small words?
7
Two tiny words but so so many people get confused by them.
8
Oh, yes.
9
These two words have caused me so much trouble in real life.
10
We are talking about still and yet.
11
Still and yet.
12
I remember one day I was at a coffee shop and I asked the waiter, "Is my coffee yet ready?" And the waiter just looked at me like,
13
"Oh no, Tom, oh no." He didn't say anything.
14
He just blinked very slowly.
15
That is a beautiful story.
16
We are going to make sure none of our learners have a moment like that.
17
By the end of this video, you will know exactly when do you know exactly
18
when you're going to be able to do it use still and when to use yet.
19
No more slow blinking from waiters.
20
Let's go.
21
Okay, before we start, I have a question for you.
22
A fun question.
23
Ooh, I love questions.
24
At one point in today's video, Tom tries to use yet in a sentence, but he makes a little mistake.
25
Can you spot it?
26
Wait, I make a mistake?
27
Already?
28
Watch the video carefully.
29
Listen to Tom.
30
Can you Hatch's mistake?
31
Leave your answer in the comments.
32
We will tell you what happened at the end.
33
Great.
34
Now I'm nervous.
35
You'll be fine.
36
Okay, everyone, let's start the lesson.
37
So Tom, I have to ask you something.
38
It's Saturday today.
39
Yes, Saturday, my favorite day of the week.
40
Have you finished your homework yet?
41
My.. homework?
42
Yes, remember?
43
I gave you a small writing exercise on Monday.
44
I am still working on it.
45
Tom, it is Saturday.
46
I work slowly.
47
It's a style choice.
48
Okay, everyone.
49
Did you notice something?
50
I used two special words just now.
51
I said "yet" in my question, and Tom used "still" in his answer.
52
Let's look at that again.
53
Lily asked me, "Have you finished your homework yet?" And Tom said, I am still working on it.
54
See?
55
Even my mistakes are educational.
56
Okay, they weren't mistakes that time.
57
But later… Please don't.
58
Alright, let's talk about grammar.
59
Don't worry, we will keep it simple and clear.
60
Perfect for all our A1, A2, and B1 learners today.
61
So, "still" and "yet" are both about time.
62
They both talk about something that has not happened, or something that is continuing, but we use them in different ways.
63
Let's start with "still." We use still when something started before and it is continuing right now.
64
It is not finished.
65
It is ongoing.
66
Like my homework.
67
Yes, exactly like your homework.
68
Some examples: I am still eating, she is still sleeping.
69
We are still waiting for the bus.
70
"Still" usually goes in the middle of the sentence, between the subject and the verb, or between the helping verb and the main verb.
71
Good.
72
Now let's talk about "yet." "Yet" is for something we expected to happen but it has not happened up to now.
73
We use "yet" in two ways: in questions and in negative sentences.
74
So, "Have you eaten yet?" or "I haven't eaten yet." Yet usually goes at the end of the sentence.
75
That's the easy way to remember it.
76
So, the big difference is, "still" means something is continuing, "yet" means something hasn't happened.
77
"Still" goes in the middle, "yet" goes at the end.
78
One more thing.
79
"Still" can also go with negative sentences, like, "I still don't understand." This means you didn't understand before,
80
and you still don't understand now.
81
The situation has not changed.
82
No judgment, Tom.
83
No judgment.
84
Okay, let's teach five key sentences using still and yet.
85
We'll look at real examples, tell you some stories, and practice together.
86
Let's do it!
87
Number one.
88
Still waiting.
89
S -T -I -L -L -W -A -I -T -I -N -G.
90
Still waiting means you started waiting before, and you are continuing to wait right now.
91
Tom, tell them your story about waiting.
92
Oh, okay.
93
So, last year I ordered a new phone online.
94
The website said "arrives in three days." I was so excited. And?
95
Day three, nothing.
96
Day five, nothing.
97
Day ten, I called the company.
98
Do you know what they said?
99
What?
100
Your order is still processing.
101
No!
102
one year oh tom that's terrible
103
but now i know how to use still waiting in a
104
sentence every cloud has a silver lining let's practice repeat after
105
us i am still waiting she is still waiting for a
106
reply tom is still waiting for his phone number two haven't
107
done it yet h -a -v -e -n apostrophe t y -e -t to do something,
108
but you have not done it up to this moment.
109
I haven't called my mom yet.
110
He hasn't finished the report yet.
111
They haven't arrived yet.
112
Okay, so this is the moment where Tom made a small mistake earlier in our conversation.
113
Did you catch it?
114
Oh, you're talking about the coffee shop story.
115
The correct sentence is, "Is my coffee ready yet?" Remember, "yet" goes at the end of the sentence.
116
The waiter was not confused because I said "yet." He was confused because I put it in the wrong place.
117
And now you know.
118
Let's practice.
119
I haven't eaten yet.
120
I haven't eaten yet.
121
Have you seen that movie yet?
122
later number three still don't understand s -t -i -l -l
123
-d -o -n apostrophe t -u -n -d -e -r -s -t -a -n -d we use this
124
when something was confusing before
125
and it is still confusing now the situation has not changed
126
i still don't understand the homework she still doesn't know his name we still don't have an Tom,
127
what do you still not understand?
128
Oh, where do I begin?
129
I still don't understand why cats knock things off tables.
130
That's deep, Tom.
131
Like why?
132
What is the purpose?
133
I have asked my cat.
134
She does not answer.
135
You asked your cat?
136
Several times.
137
I still don't understand.
138
Okay, let's practice.
139
I still don't understand.
140
I still don't understand cats number four is it ready yet
141
r e a d y y e t we use this question
142
when we are waiting for something and we want to know
143
if it is finished
144
or ready now is dinner ready yet is the document ready
145
yet is the baby sleeping yet I have a story last month I was helping my friend cook dinner for
146
chocolate so I kept going to the kitchen
147
and asking is the cake ready yet is it ready yet
148
is it ready yet how many times my friend said I
149
asked 12 times 12 in one hour the cake was worth it it was amazing
150
but yes I now use is it ready yet Very naturally.
151
Let's practice.
152
Is the food ready yet?
153
Is the taxi here yet?
154
Is the cake ready yet? is it is it ready yet number five still here
155
and still there s t i l l h e r e T -H -E -R -E.
156
We use these to say that a person or thing has not moved or left.
157
They are continuing to be in the same place.
158
Are you still there?
159
The keys are still on the table.
160
He is still at work.
161
This one is so useful for phone calls.
162
In English, when you're on the phone and there's silence, you say, "Are you still there?" Oh yes, I use this all the time.
163
Last week, I was on a call with my brother.
164
He went very quiet suddenly.
165
What happened?
166
I said, "Are you still there?" Three times.
167
Then I realized he had put me on speakerphone and gone to make tea.
168
He was still there, just making tea.
169
He left you talking to no one.
170
But he was still there, just not listening.
171
Let's practice.
172
Are you still there?
173
I'm still here.
174
I'm still talking.
175
The shop is still open.
176
My brother is still on the phone, technically.
177
Amazing work today, everyone.
178
Let's do a quick summary.
179
Still, something is continuing.
180
It started before, and it is not finished.
181
I am still waiting.
182
She is still sleeping.
183
Still goes in the middle of the sentence, between the subject and verb.
184
"Yet, something we expected to happen, but it hasn't happened.
185
I haven't finished yet.
186
Have you eaten yet?" "yet" goes at the end of the sentence and we use it in questions and negative sentences.
187
Remember, "Is my coffee ready yet?" not "Is my coffee yet ready?" Poor waiter.
188
One more trick.
189
When in doubt, ask yourself, "Is something continuing?" Use "still." "Is something not happened?" Use "yet." You've got this.
190
Now it's your turn.
191
Write a sentence in the comments using "still" or "yet." You can write something like, "I haven't had breakfast yet," or,
192
"I am still learning English and I love it." We read every single comment,
193
every one, and we love hearing from you. So, come say hello.
194
We are 5 ,000 people strong now, and we are so proud of every one of you.
195
Every comment, every like, every day that you show up to learn, it means the world to us.
196
Oh, and before we go, remember our question from the beginning?
197
The question about my mistake.
198
Tom of the sentence, not at the end.
199
The correct sentence is, "Is my coffee ready yet?" And that, my friends, is why the waiter blinked at me for five seconds.
200
Did you catch it?
201

什么是跟读法?

跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧,最初开发用于专业口译员的培训,并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大:您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同,跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性,语调,节奏,连读,听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
