  • Yeah.

  • Hi, James from England.

  • I'm just looking at the lesson I'm gonna teach you today.

  • Some of you will find it so hard and so difficult and others too hard and too difficult.

  • So what I'm going to do is I'm going to start off with something basic on.

  • Then we'll begin the lesson.

  • Right?

  • Mystery.

  • He's back to to and so two words in English that are so simple and so basic yet so misunderstood, much like my love for puppies.

  • Anyway, Um, okay, when we talk about two, and so there's the idea off something being Mawr.

  • There's something extra, and this is right.

  • When you say so, you usually mean we usually you'll hear most people say it for about size.

  • So big, so tall, so small, and they want to talk about the size of thing and really make it strong to you.

  • Give you tell you it's not normal.

  • It's more than you think.

  • And when they usually use two, it's the same idea, but they usually use it in more of a negative way of thinking.

  • So if you really want to think of it, think of so with a smile as positive So when you want to say something, you really like it so much, So much, so much.

  • See, use s for smile, smiley face and used to and think of two because this, too has two O's on it.

  • Think too.

  • That's too many O's.

  • I only need one.

  • I only need one.

  • That was the wrong finger.

  • I only need 10 and because I only need 10 there's too many things.

  • So it's more than I want that help.

  • Okay, I'm gonna warn you.

  • That's the basic understanding.

  • So if you're following and you got that, that's good.

  • If not, go back.

  • Watch this part of the video again.

  • Listen to what I said, and then the rest of this is gonna make a lot of sense now for the rest of you.

  • It's party time.

  • Okay, so let's go to Let's start off with two notice, too, is in red.

  • Why is too?

  • And read Well, it's in red because red is usually blood, which is usually negative and saying that I want you to understand that to, in this case is more than you want, need or is allowable.

  • I use some big words their allowable, you are able to do something, but more than you need more than you want or desire.

  • Excessive.

  • That's what this word means.

  • Excessive means mawr.

  • Too much notice.

  • The water coming into the cup.

  • It's coming out well.

  • There's too much cool, all right.

  • More than so.

  • That's what we mean Here.

  • Give you two examples.

  • James usually talks too fast, so I don't understand him.

  • That's true.

  • That means I speak so fast that most the information you want, you can't get.

  • It's too fast.

  • It's gone by and you can't get it back.

  • What's another thing?

  • Excessive?

  • Well, in Saudi Arabia, it's too hot for me.

  • Excessive.

  • It's 50 degrees.

  • Man is like cooking yourself.

  • You don't go to get a tan.

  • There you go to cook yourself, Okay, successive more than you want.

  • But every once in a while, small once in a while, I could only even think of two examples to give you That's the truth, to be positive.

  • Remember, I said, is usually negative in the red.

  • It could be positive.

  • I'll give you example.

  • You're too kind.

  • You come and see me every time I put a video out.

  • Oh, I love you.

  • What I mean by that is you're very kind is very nice of you to do this.

  • I'm not saying it's too much.

  • It's not.

  • It's very nice of you.

  • And sometimes when if you're in a subway and you come visit Canada or you see a British person and they say, Would you like my chair?

  • You could say You're to generous.

  • It's I almost want to say no because your generosity is too much much.

  • But in this case, once again, it's very positive.

  • Smiley face.

  • Not like this guy.

  • Sad mouth Smiley.

  • Okay, before we forget, don't forget to is an adverb because it could modify adverbs, other adverbs and other adjectives and verbs.

  • Cool.

  • Alright, now, finally, this is the interesting 12 notice.

  • I said there's 12 Two owes its because two is enough.

  • But then we add on another.

  • Oh, and it's too, because we mean in addition.

  • Addition comes from the base.

  • Add it means you add something to something else.

  • Example.

  • Mr E likes cake, and I like it to one plus one more than one.

  • Right now, we can use this with an object cake or a verb he went and I went to notice how to follows went because I'm saying, additionally, adding on like that Good.

  • We've covered to an excessive and it's usually let's quickly go over.

  • It will not too quickly.

  • I'm using it again.

  • So I said, not too quickly, not excessively to means excessive and excessive, as we know, is more than you need or want to be positive.

  • Very few cases, right?

  • Very kind, very generous with the ones that come to my mind right away.

  • And finally, to is as well, because we have 10 plus two.

  • Just like the number two has one plus one.

  • It means in addition on additionally.

  • And look, we also have to on object or a verb, it can be used for easy to remember, right?

  • Good.

  • Now I told you to and so get confused.

  • I'm going to tell you how they're similar.

  • And that's why this diagram has this funny part.

  • Where is red and blue?

  • But we're going to work specifically on.

  • So now are you ready?

  • So let's go.

  • All right, All right.

  • So what does so mean?

  • So lot?

  • Do you know what?

  • We're not singing, but what we're trying to get at is extent, extent and because it's an adverb and we use it, we use it with things like quickly or shortly, right?

  • So I'm using it again.

  • So So?

  • So it's gonna be an important word, right?

  • For instance, I can say he speaks so quickly.

  • It's hard to understand him.

  • Notice how it differs.

  • I said to Was excessive, excessive meant too much.

  • The water was coming out.

  • So means to an extent how much, how fast and it means like very in its own way.

  • E Like that one.

  • Okay, what about another one?

  • Eso quietly, uh, she moved so quietly nobody noticed.

  • It's not too quietly.

  • It's so quietly were saying very how much?

  • How quietly you like that.

  • Good.

  • So we have two examples now.

  • Too quickly.

  • Sorry.

  • So quickly and so quietly.

  • And the meeting to what extent on how much extent is like a measurement.

  • It's a measurement.

  • That's what this means, like the maximum on the minimum off.

  • Something extent.

  • To what extent did they do this?

  • All right, now I have to explain something to you when we said so, and two are similar.

  • Similar is a special ward because it means same.

  • But there is a difference.

  • And now I have to teach you what?

  • That differences.

  • All right.

  • In this case, they're the same because this is where the diagram meets.

  • Extremely and excessive are usually very far end the very far end of something.

  • So when something is extremely hot, it seems like there's hot.

  • And then there's hot.

  • It's so hot when it's too hot, it means here's the limit and you go past it.

  • Okay?

  • Do you remember this to excessive?

  • Too much.

  • So is the measurement.

  • And when we say it this way for extremely, which means emphasis, we usually mean on the maximum part for this part.

  • Give an example.

  • The soup was so hot, I had to leave it and eat it an hour later.

  • It's not that it was too hot.

  • I could never eat it.

  • It was just so hot.

  • E gotta wait.

  • I wait 10 minutes.

  • It's okay now.

  • So hot.

  • But you know what?

  • The soup was so good.

  • I asked for a second bowl Emphasis.

  • It was so good.

  • I loved it.

  • Right.

  • And my girlfriend is so hot.

  • You wanna go see her Yeah, that's right.

  • I know some of you ask if I'm married to go to girlfriend.

  • I got a cat.

  • That's right.

  • A cat who is so annoying.

  • I want to get a woman.

  • But that's another issue.

  • The emphasis.

  • Okay, emphasis is extremely in this case now.

  • We talked about whether the same and I told you about excessive and extremely, and that's how they share this strange area here.

  • But once again they have separate circles for a reason.

  • So it's positive smiley face, but so also has a meaning That too, doesn't have.

  • And that's conjunction.

  • Conjunction.

  • Conjunction means to put things together.

  • And you know what?

  • This is because of the special word and and is a conjunction.

  • Or But it's a big fancy words for saying putting two ideas together, right?

  • That's how we make complex sentences.

  • So in this case, conjunction.

  • And when we use it, we actually mean thus or therefore you hear these in these big books, you know the books with usually 500 pages, they charge you $100.

  • They have to put words.

  • Therefore, he said to the people thus we shall walk.

  • Yeah, if you know, recognize that voice is from the Batman movie.

  • Yeah, Lost.

  • Install it.

  • Great.

  • So great.

  • Emphasis Mine.

  • You got to see it to that one.

  • Alright.

  • Conjunction.

  • I wasn't feeling well, so I went to the doctor.

  • It's not extremely extent.

  • It's saying I wasn't feeling well, so I had to go to the doctor.

  • I bring the two ideas together.

  • Okay, How about this one?

  • It was cold out, so I got my jacket.

  • I got my jacket because it was cold.

  • I want to bring these ideas together.

  • I don't have to say and which is the normal conjunction?

  • I could say so.

  • All right.

  • And finally I think this video is over.

  • I think so.

  • No, not quite.

  • But here's the example of truth.

  • Ah, lot of times you can hear Canadians say I think so, Or I thought so.

  • On what they're telling you is not conjunction.

  • Not extent, not extremely.

  • They're actually trying to tell you I thought it was true.

  • Was it raining yesterday?

  • I thought so.

  • Did he bring the book?

  • I think so.

  • I believe.

  • Or I think it's true.
