  • Hi, guys!!

  • My name is Tony

  • And this is the first of a series of videos

  • that I am going to make

  • to help you learn English

  • We are going to start with 4 main areas in English

  • we havehabit”; something you do regularly

  • we havenow”; something you are doing now

  • We havefuturesomething you are going to do

  • and we havepast

  • Let me be clear with these 4 areas ONLY

  • you can have a simple conversation

  • so please concentrate, focus and let's go

  • OK, here are some very basic rules to English

  • No. 1 - always start with a person

  • “I”, “you”, “we”, “they”, “he”, “she

  • No. 2 - VERB

  • the verb in English is very, very important

  • the verb changes with each tense

  • focus on the verb, understand the tense,

  • you'll be able to speak English,.

  • No.3 during this video, always answer with full grammar

  • For example, “do you like pizza?”

  • yes

  • do you like pizza?”

  • yes, I do

  • What pizza do you like?”

  • Meat pizza

  • What pizza do you like?”

  • “I like meat pizzas

  • OK? Full grammar!

  • So, like I said 4 tenses.

  • HABIT, NOW, FUTURE, PAST

  • Today, we are going to focus on the habit, alright?

  • something you do regularly

  • every tense in English has a “keyword

  • that is in the question, okay?

  • withhabitthat keyword is

  • DOandDOES

  • That keyword is going to be IN the question,

  • so listen for the keyword thinkAh, “habit

  • and then respond

  • the keyword is your key

  • The keyword, “DOorDOES

  • will appear at the beginning of the question

  • so listen to the beginning of the question

  • For example, “Do you like pizza?”

  • DO”!!!!!!! “DO you like pizza?”

  • What pizza DO you like?”

  • ThatDOis telling you, “HABIT! ANSWER WITH HABIT!”

  • Okay listen for the keyword…. easy

  • when you hear the habit keyword

  • please follow this grammar in order to reply

  • first of all, you need a person

  • “I”, “you”, “we”, “they”,“he”, “she

  • Then you need a verb,

  • Simple verb, it doesn't really change

  • noING”, no “…ED” , simple verb, present tense

  • then you need an object
