Hi guys, it's Arianita LaGringa and welcome back to my YouTube channel.

Future continuous

As you can see from the title of this video, we are going to be talking about cars.

Adverbs of degree

I am going to teach you car vocabulary and this is a very important topic here in the United States because everywhere you go, you see cars.

In fact, there are more cars than people.

You might ask yourself, why are there more cars than people in the United States?

And that is because in some cities, a car is a necessity versus being a luxury.

Of course, a car can be a luxury, but the U.S. makes it so that cars are a necessity here.

For example, imagine I'm at the movie theater, but I need to go home.

If I don't have a car, I have to walk a lot of miles to my nearest bus stop.

The bus stop may be five miles away, so the best option for me is to call an Uber, to order an Uber, or to have a car.

The second reason why there are more cars than people in the U.S. is because cars are accessible.

It doesn't matter if you have a well-paying job or if you have a minimum wage job.

You can go to the dealership and buy your own car because dealerships will offer you credit so you can pay your car month by month.

And when you want to buy a car at the dealership, you can get the car the same day.

And sometimes you don't even need a down payment for the car.

A down payment is the initial payment of the thing that you are buying, like a car or a house.

Of course, nothing would be possible without a credit card.

In order to buy a car, a house, you need a credit card with a good credit score.

Now let's learn some car English vocabulary.

I'm first going to start off with the exterior part of the car, the outside of the car, and then move into the interior part of the car, the inside of the car.

I'm standing in the front of the car, but now let's play a little game.

I am going to give you three seconds and you are going to name the part of the car I'm pointing at.

Here in the U.S., this is called a windshield, and a windshield protects us from the wind.

Now what happens if a bird poops on your windshield?

Now what is this part called that protects the engine of the car?

I'm going to show you the engine by opening up the hood of the car, but first I need to open up my car.

This is a key fob and this is mostly used in more modernized cars.

If you have an old car, you would just have a key to open up your door.

To open up the hood of the car, I am looking for the lever, and I just found it, and then I'm going to pop it open.

That sound lets you know that the hood is open.

I'm going to open up the hood of the car, but I'll be honest with you guys, sometimes it's a bit tricky to find the handle of the hood of the car, but I found it.

I'm going to open this up and attach this leg right here.

The hood of the car is open and you can see the engine and everything underneath.

Right here is the engine of the car and next to the engine is the car battery.

I've actually had a lot of trouble with the car battery.

It used to die on me a lot because I used to leave the lights on in my car overnight and that was a problem.

Anyway, right here is the windshield fluid for the windshield wipers.

Now I'm going to close the hood of the car.

But we're not finished with the front of the car, so we're going to still play the game.

This is the grille of the car, but inside the grille, what is the big piece in front of the car?

Continuing with the game, this one should be pretty easy for you.

You have two front lights and you have two back lights, but there are two types of lights in the front lights.

So you have your high beam lights, which are called your brights, and you usually turn on your brights when you can't see things far away, when it's really dark outside.

And then you also have your low beam lights, which you always have your low beam lights when you're driving during the night.

Moving from the front of the car to the side of the car, what is this circular thing right here called?

This is called the car rim or just the rim.

This car is a sedan, so it has four doors.

It has two doors on this side and two doors on the other side.

On the door, you have a door handle that you use to open up the door.

And right here, you have the car windows, and these windows are tinted to block out the sun when you're driving.

And I forgot to tell you guys that in the windshield, you cannot have a tint in the front windshield, but the other parts of the car, like the windows and the back part of the car, you can have a tint.

Even if you want your front part of the car, your windshield, to be tinted, you cannot because that is illegal.

The only part you can have tinted is just the very top.

And a side mirror is necessary if you are looking to your left or right to see if a car is in your lane.

Because if you want to turn to the left side, you use this side mirror to see if a car is in your blind spot.

And the blind spot is literally when a car is right next to you and you cannot see it.

When we are talking about the tire, the whole thing is called a wheel.

This is a car tire, and then these are the rims.

But right here in the rims, you can see the car brake.

And the car brakes help you stop the car when you need to stop.

And above the wheel, you have the gas tank.

Normally, if you had an old car, you would just press this gas tank and it would open up.

But I have to open up this car because it is newer.

And look for the button, the gas tank button.

It clicks, and the gas tank is finally open.

But in other cars, like electric cars, you would have the same knob, but you would have electricity going inside the car to charge it.

But what if you have both gas and electric going inside your car?

That means your car is a hybrid car, which is both electric and gas.

I'm finally in the back part of the car, and now let's continue on with our game.
