with Ed Sheeran! I know! I'm excited too.

We're going to be looking at his song 'Shape of You' and we're going to pick out some really

interesting language that he uses. Now I think learning English through songs is a fantastic

way to improve your vocabulary, your listening skills, your grammar, everything! It's a brilliant

way to improve your English. And of course it's super fun. Ed, take it away my man!

The club just means nightclub, it's the short form. It's the place where people go at night

time to dance. An example sentence would be 'I haven't been to a club for ages.' And that's

true, really I haven't been to a club for a long time. I should go.

Me and my friends. The correct grammatical form should be my friends and I. I know, it

can be common use to say me and my friends. I know I do it but you guys should know the

correct form is my friends and I.

Doing shots or to do a shot is to drink a small amount of alcohol. Usually strong alcohol,

a spirit, something like vodka or whiskey. An example sentence might be 'Hey guys, let's

do shots!'

Handmade is an adjective and it literally means made by hand so not made by machine.

Typically we think about things like handmade chocolate or handmade clothes. And usually

we think about it as having a better quality, a higher standard than something that's made

by a machine. Now here Ed is talking about love being handmade. So it's not obviously

literal but maybe that love is of a higher quality than others. Guys if you are enjoying

this video please give it a like, share it with your friends and come say hi in the comments

below.

We push and pull like a magnet do. This is grammatically incorrect it should be we push

and pull like a magnet does. Magnet it does, however Ed has chosen to use a grammatically

incorrect sentence because do rhymes with you and this is normal. In songs you're going

to find grammatically incorrect sentences and sometimes vocabulary that's not quite

right because the writer wants to rhyme a word or they just like the feel of a certain

sentence and this is totally normal. But it's good for you guys to know the grammatically

correct sentence.

A date of course is a romantic meeting between two people. Ed here has used go on a date

as the verb. So you might say 'I'm going on a date this Friday' for example. You could

also say to have a date. So 'I have a date this Friday'. Ed here is going on a first

date. Another type of date is a blind date and this is when the two people going on the

date have never seen each other. They don't know much about each other, probably their

friends have arranged the date. I've been on one of them and we had to wear a flower,

we both had to wear a flower to recognise each other.

Two phrases here, firstly thrifty which is an adjective to mean that you're responsible

with your money so you use it carefully. Second one, all-you-can-eat. This is a buffet. So

you go to a restaurant, you pay one price and you can eat all the food that they have

there for you.

We talk for hour and hours. This means that we talked for a long time. It's an informal

way to say that. And this is actually a nice structure that we use to say a long time.

You can also use days and days or weeks and weeks or years and years. An example

might be 'I haven't been to the gym for weeks and weeks'. And that just means I haven't

been to the gym for a long time.

Come on be my baby. Ed here is asking the girl to be his girlfriend or to be an official

couple. Now come on baby, baby is an affectionate term for a loved one. You might replace it

with be my darling, be my honey, be my love. There are lots of different words in English

to say that.
