Hi this is Tutor Nick P and this is Lesson 315.

All right. The title of today's lesson is "Don't Say You Have More Than One

Adverbs of frequency

Personality. Yeah. In the past,  sometimes I've seen some students actually say

this and a lot of students of ESL you know,  English as a Second Language. If

they say they don't realize it. It makes you sound a little crazy. If you say that

you have more than one personality because most people have just one

personality. So let's look at the note here. If someone has more than one

personality,  it means that he or she has a serious mental problem. It means that a

doctor has diagnosed somebody with multiple personality disorder. Okay. That

would mean that that person has two or more distinct identities that could

claim to be in the same body.  You know,  sometimes under stress or you

know in certain situations a different personality may come out and we've seen

this sometimes in some movies. It's very interesting. Luckily it's very rare,  but

it does exist. So you don't want to say that. All right. Let's continue here. If a

student makes this mistake he should be saying and he has different traits or

characteristics or attributes in his personality. That's what he wants to say

you know , maybe you have different qualities in your personality. Most of

the time when you describe a lot of adjectives about your personality those

are the different traits. So but you don't want to see your worth of one

personality. So let's look at some examples here. You know,  the first one

with the X. This would be wrong. You say his personalities are very unique. No. You

definitely won't say that because again unless you really truly mean that

somebody has multiple personality disorder you should not be saying that.

His personality is very unique. Of course you could say that. Or you could say he

has some very unique personality traits.  That's the way you would say it. Or again

you don't want to say it about yourself too, Again you might be insulting yourself.

Maybe you know a westerner of course would catch this one right away anyway. I

hope you got it. I hope it's clear. Thank you for your time. Bye-bye
