What's up guys this song is called don't worry you be happy it's by Bobby McFerrin and it's a super fun song

To-infinitive

It's easy to learn and I think this song is gonna help you with your English a lot

The imperative

Accent so I'm going to repeat each line word-for-word

And then I'm going to repeat it again at normal speed

Here's a little song I wrote you might want to sing it note for note

Now pay attention to the way I pronounced all the words that ends with t wrote

I really don't even pronounce the t at the end of the words

And it's the same with the g at the end of song and sing now

let's talk a little bit about the phrase little song this song is almost five minutes long, so

It's not little what Bobby is saying here

Is that this is not the greatest song in the whole world? It's not really that important

It's just a little song and then he says sing it note for a note

Now that just means you're gonna sing it one note at a time

Word for word and word for word it just means you're going to speak

this is two things he's telling you to do and

There's really not a whole lot more I can say about this so let's move on to the next verse in every life

In every life we have some trouble, but when you worry you make it double

trouble just means problems or some bad things that might happen to you and

Problems, but when you worry you make it even worse in fact you make it two times as bad

Ain't got no place to lay your head somebody came and took your bed

Your english teacher might have a heart attack if she heard you say this sentence

But people do talk like this, so it's not wrong and what he's saying is

You don't have any place to lay your head?

He didn't include the subject in this sentence

And he didn't have to we know that the subject is supposed to be you because he says the word

We now have a double negative so that no should be any so what he's really saying is

you don't have any place to lay your head and

that just means you don't have a place to sleep and

then he says somebody came and took your bed and

that is a little bit of a silly sentence because it sounds like there was a thief that came and

Stole your bed, so I don't understand but that's what he says

Landlord say your rent is late. He may have to litigate

The landlord say your rent is late. He may have to litigate

Now the most important thing. I want to say about this sentence is that word say?

because that would drive your english teacher crazy if she heard you say that and

It really bothers me to but first. I want to talk about the word land Lord

The land Lord is the person that owns your apartment or your house

And you have to pay him in order to live there

In other words you rent your apartment or house

from him now normally rent is used as a verb but in this case rent is a noun and

It means the money that you pay to your landlord in

Order for him to let you live at his house

Because the landlord is the subject of this sentence

verb now in English third-person verbs almost always end with an s

Now there are English speakers who talk like this, so I don't want to say it's wrong

But it's not real common, and I don't recommend you talk like this

And you hear this line just to remember to yourself that it should be says and not say

All he means is that you were supposed to pay the rent already

But you didn't so now it's late and don't worry too much about the word litigate

Basically it means that the landlord might have to sue you because the rent is late, but again

It's fine, if you don't know what that word means now

I want to keep these videos nice and short

So I'm gonna stop here and have this be the end of part 1 but I will be making

Verses in this song in the meantime keep listening to this song and keep practicing your english. I'll see you guys later
