Hello, guys.
-
Let's have a spelling test.
-
I'm gonna tell you two words
-
and I want you to tell me about their spelling.
-
The first word is 'choose'.
-
Now what's the correct spelling?
-
Number one?
-
Number two?
-
Or number three?
-
hmm
-
Second word now.
-
'lose'
-
Again, what's the correct spelling?
-
Got it?
-
Okay. well.
-
The answer the correct answer was number two in both cases.
-
If you got that wrong, please keep watching.
-
Hello, guys. My name is [email protected]nny .
-
And in this video we're gonna focus on two verbs:
-
'choose' and 'lose'.
-
Now let's have a look and a few sentences.
-
First, I made my choice.
-
I choose spaghetti.
-
Now the verb 'choose' as you know,
-
.... and means making a choice.
-
And the spelling is with double-o. Okay?
-
There are two O's in the verb 'choose' - present tense.
-
'I chose pasta, yesterday.'
-
Now the difference is now it's past tense.
-
And the verb in its past form only has one 'o' and it's pronounced 'chose'.
-
Okay, so 'choose' - present tense.
-
'chose' - past tense.
-
But then if we take the second sentence and we say,
-
I try not to...
-
... and I suppose you're gonna tell me 'Loes' because there's only one 'o'.
-
Well, no guys.
-
I'm sorry English pronunciation is really hard,
-
but the sound is the same as 'choose '.
-
Okay, 'I try not to lose anything when I travel'.
-
So there's only one 'o' but it's pronounced lose.
-
'But I lost my wallet when I went to Egypt'.
-
This is the past form of 'lose' - 'lost'.
-
Okay so try and remember -
-
'choose' 'chose'
-
So two 'O's - one 'O'.
-
And 'lose' - 'lost'.
-
With only one 'O'.
-
Okay I hope this is clear.
-
Let's now go back to our spelling test.
-
Okay guys I know you're gonna do better this time.
-
So my first verb is 'choose'.
-
What's the correct spelling?
-
Number one? Number two? Or number three?
-
It's number one of course .
-
And the second verb is 'lose'.
-
What's the correct spelling?
-
Yes good it's number three.
-
I'm sure you had the right answers.
