Transcript


00:0-1	in this lesson I'll show you how to talk about
00:02	time correctly and easily in english . Specifically . We'll
00:07	be looking at some prepositions of time and also some
00:10	expressions of time . Okay ? And these expressions are
00:14	used very frequently so let's see what they are .
00:18	All right . So I'm going to read you a
00:22	sentence And after that there are four endings , maybe
00:27	they're right and maybe they're wrong . So you tell
00:30	me what's what ? Okay let's meet in the morning
00:37	, let's meet in the afternoon , let's meet in
00:41	the evening , let's meet in the night . So
00:47	think about it , were they correct ? Was anything
00:50	wrong ? Might be right ? Might be wrong .
00:53	Tell me what you think right away because you need
00:56	to know this kind of instinctively and it's not so
01:01	obvious . Okay so I'm going to tell you what
01:03	the answer is actually . There is one wrong here
01:06	and it's this one we do not say in the
01:11	night , we say in the morning in the afternoon
01:15	, in the evening but we do not say in
01:18	the night . We say what ? Yeah , yes
01:25	. At night . Let's meet at night . Why
01:29	? Why is it different ? I don't know .
01:32	That's how it is . Okay . These are expressions
01:35	and that one is an exception . All right .
01:38	So we say it differently from the other ones .
01:41	There is no particular reason . Sometimes you just have
01:44	to learn things by heart like here . Okay ,
01:48	Now , let's look at another example . I was
01:51	tired this morning . I was tired this afternoon .
01:57	I was tired this evening . I was tired this
02:01	night . Were those all okay ? Anything wrong there
02:06	? What do you think ? Well , there is
02:09	something wrong there . And guess what ? It's this
02:15	one ? Okay , again ? So we do not
02:17	say I was tired this night . We say I
02:20	was tired . Yes , yes , yeah . Tonight
02:27	. Okay . So there again . We see that
02:30	night is an exception . So we can say this
02:34	morning this afternoon this evening . But we can't say
02:39	we cannot say this night at that point we change
02:42	it use a different expression which is tonight . Okay
02:47	again . Why ? Why ? Sometimes in which we
02:50	say why ? Because this guy is so high .
02:53	Which means there is no particular reason . It's just
02:56	the way it is . Okay . All right .
02:58	Let's take another one . He called yesterday morning .
03:03	He called yesterday afternoon . He called yesterday evening .
03:08	He called yesterday night . So are those okay or
03:13	is there a problem ? What do you think ?
03:17	Well , guess what It's this one again ? Hey
03:22	, did you see a pattern there ? Okay .
03:24	So what do we say ? We do say yesterday
03:26	morning . We do say yesterday afternoon . We do
03:30	say yesterday evening but then we say mm thank you
03:39	last night . He called last night . Now we
03:43	use that with night but we don't say last morning
03:46	okay . We don't usually use last with the other
03:49	ones and certainly not in north american english . Okay
03:53	. But we saw in each of these cases that
03:56	night was an exception and that you had to learn
04:00	a different expression for night . Okay . So just
04:05	repeat after me because one of the ways of learning
04:08	is to hear it . Another way to learn to
04:11	remember is to write it okay . And another way
04:15	to say remember is to say it . So let's
04:17	try to do some of these things . Okay ,
04:19	after a while your years will tell you that .
04:22	No that doesn't sound right just like in your own
04:25	language . But now english is one of your languages
04:28	. So let's do it ready in the morning in
04:32	the afternoon , in the evening . At night ,
04:38	this morning , this afternoon , this evening , tonight
04:45	, yesterday morning , yesterday afternoon , yesterday evening .
04:50	Last night . Okay . Got those . All right
04:54	. Let's look at a few more . All right
04:56	. So , the first one . See you tomorrow
04:59	morning . See you tomorrow afternoon . See you tomorrow
05:04	evening . See you tomorrow night . Are these ok
05:09	? Any problems ? Anything we should change ? Is
05:12	anything an exception ? Think about it . Okay .
05:18	So , you know what ? These are all fine
05:22	. These are okay . All right . And why
05:24	is it an exception ? Because usually we were saying
05:27	that night has a different use , but in this
05:30	case it's actually okay to say tomorrow morning , Tomorrow
05:35	afternoon . Tomorrow evening . Tomorrow night . Okay .
05:39	It wasn't like what we saw before with yesterday or
05:43	with this . All right . So , these are
05:46	fine . And that's why it's kind of an exception
05:50	. All right . Now , we come to a
05:53	little bit of a situation with the propositions . Now
05:57	, you remember I had told you that we say
05:59	in the morning , in the afternoon , in the
06:03	evening and at night , correct ? We just learned
06:06	that we just reviewed that . But what happens if
06:09	you have the day mentioned as well ? Something different
06:15	. So let's look at the options . Do we
06:18	say in Tuesday morning at Tuesday morning or on Tuesday
06:23	morning or afternoon or evening or night ? Okay ,
06:28	well there's only one correct possibility here and that is
06:34	this one . Okay . We cannot say in Tuesday
06:40	, just like , we cannot say in Tuesday or
06:43	at Tuesday , we need to only say on Tuesday
06:46	, right ? Whenever we're talking about a day or
06:49	a date we say on . So even if you
06:54	have after that mentioned morning , afternoon , evening or
06:58	night , what's more important is not that expression in
07:02	the morning , but this expression on plus the day
07:07	. Okay , So in this case it changes a
07:09	little bit . All right ? So we say on
07:12	Tuesday morning on Tuesday afternoon , on thursday evening on
07:16	friday night . Okay ? So keep that in mind
07:21	that even though we had the expressions in the morning
07:23	in the afternoon , in the evening and at night
07:26	, as soon as we mentioned the day , we're
07:28	going to use the preposition on . All right ,
07:31	good . And now the last expression something that's used
07:35	very often . Good morning , good afternoon , good
07:39	evening , good night . Okay . So those are
07:43	fine as expressions . So why , why are they
07:47	here on the board ? Because there is a slight
07:49	difference in the way that we use them and the
07:52	difference is this , do you know what the difference
07:56	is ? Okay ? I'll tell you . So these
08:01	three , good morning , good afternoon , good evening
08:08	. These are all like saying hello at that particular
08:12	time of day . So when you arrive somewhere ,
08:16	let's say okay and you see someone okay ? You
08:20	come to work in the morning , you say ,
08:21	hey good morning . It's like a way of saying
08:23	hi , but in the morning and you go to
08:27	you meet someone for lunch and it's a formal situation
08:30	and you say good afternoon , okay ? Or you
08:33	call an office and you're trying to be very polite
08:37	to the receptionist and you say good afternoon , may
08:39	I speak to mr johnson please ? Okay ? So
08:42	again it's a way of saying hi . But another
08:45	way another more formal greeting . You go to a
08:49	restaurant and the manager asked you says to you ,
08:55	good evening sir , can I get you a table
08:57	? And you say yes please . So good evening
09:00	is also another way that that person said hi to
09:03	you when you arrive somewhere okay . But let's say
09:08	now it's uh it's later , it's even later at
09:11	night and somebody goes to a bar and he walks
09:14	in and the bartender says good night , is that
09:17	okay ? No . So good night is not used
09:21	to say hello even if it is night , good
09:24	night is only used when somebody leaves . Yeah ,
09:32	or sleeps okay ? So we do not say good
09:37	night even if it is night to say hi .
09:40	So if it's night and you go to your friend's
09:42	house , you don't say hey , good night .
09:45	No , you can't do that when you first walk
09:47	in . All right ? So it's not a greeting
09:49	that you use when you first meet somebody . But
09:52	at the end of the night or whenever you're leaving
09:55	, you can say to him , okay , take
09:56	care good night . So if you're not gonna see
09:59	him or her for the rest of the night and
10:01	you can say good night . And another way that's
10:04	used very , very frequently is when someone is going
10:07	to sleep , let's say most usually parents and Children
10:10	okay ? So before the child goes to sleep ,
10:12	the parents gave him or her kiss and say okay
10:15	sweetheart , good night . And then they put off
10:18	the light and they hope that the child will sleep
10:20	all night long . Okay ? So that's another way
10:23	that we say goodnight . And sometimes we Children ,
10:26	we also add other things like sweet dreams and things
10:29	like that . Okay ? But the main difference here
10:32	is that these can be used as greetings when you
10:34	arrive somewhere as a way to say hi . And
10:37	this one is when you're leaving or when someone is
10:40	about to go to sleep . And it's a way
10:42	of saying by okay ? So these are some of
10:45	the expressions now let's check how much you remember of
10:48	what we learned in this lesson . All right .
10:51	So there are seven sentences on the board . Some
10:53	of these are right , Some are wrong . You
10:55	decide which . Okay . All right . Number one
10:59	, I'll send the email this afternoon . Is that
11:03	right or wrong ? If you need to you can
11:06	pause the video if you need a little more time
11:07	to think about it , but I'm going to go
11:09	ahead . All right . So I'll send the email
11:12	this afternoon is correct . Okay , So that was
11:18	fine . Are we meeting in sunday ? Is that
11:24	right or wrong ? Because if you need to this
11:28	one is incorrect . Should be on sunday . And
11:37	again , if it said on sunday morning on sunday
11:40	afternoon , on sunday evening on sunday night . Okay
11:45	? So whether it just says the day or it's
11:47	followed by morning , afternoon , evening or night ,
11:50	you still need to use the preposition on . Okay
11:53	, good Number three , the concert is tomorrow night
11:58	, right or wrong . Okay . So this one
12:03	is correct . All right . We can say tomorrow
12:07	morning , tomorrow afternoon , tomorrow evening and tomorrow night
12:12	. All right . Number four Goodnight . How are
12:15	you ? Is that correct ? Okay . No ,
12:21	that is wrong because we cannot use goodnight to say
12:25	hello ? Okay . You could say good morning ,
12:28	how are you ? Good afternoon , how are you
12:31	? Good evening , How are you ? But you
12:34	either say goodnight and then nothing after that okay ?
12:39	Or you'd have to say something else here and then
12:41	say how are you ? Okay ? So we say
12:44	good night , when when some somebody's going to sleep
12:47	okay or it doesn't have to be a child .
12:49	Could also be an adult , okay ? They're going
12:51	to their room and say good night okay ? Or
12:54	to your partner . You can say good night .
12:57	And you also say it let's say when you're leaving
12:59	someone's house and you've had dinner and you've had to
13:02	spend a nice evening with them . Now you're going
13:04	home . You're not gonna see them again . He
13:05	say , all right . Thank you very much .
13:07	Good night . All right . That's that next .
13:11	The snow looks beautiful in the night . Is that
13:15	right or wrong ? So that one is wrong .
13:22	It should be , yeah , at night . Okay
13:30	. So remember there . We could say in the
13:32	morning , in the afternoon , in the evening ,
13:35	but at night , okay . You'll get used to
13:39	it pretty pretty soon . The rhythm of it will
13:42	get into your english brain . Okay , Good number
13:46	six . My exam is in monday morning . Is
13:52	that right or wrong ? Okay ? That one is
13:57	wrong again . Like we said , we're here .
14:00	Okay . The same here . It should be on
14:05	monday morning . Okay ? So whether we're saying just
14:08	on monday or we say on monday morning on monday
14:11	afternoon on monday evening or on monday night . Okay
14:16	. Very good . And the last one , number
14:17	seven , the parcel arrived yesterday night . Is that
14:23	right or wrong ? Okay . That one is also
14:30	wrong because it should be what , what do we
14:32	say instead of yesterday night ? We say mhm .
14:41	Last night . Okay . So we do say yesterday
14:45	morning . We do say yesterday afternoon . We do
14:48	say yesterday evening , but then we say last night
14:51	. Okay . The parcel arrived last night . Okay
14:55	. So I know it can be a little bit
14:56	confusing , but at the same time you can see
14:59	that story that there are some patterns . Okay ?
15:02	So once you understand those patterns and you start to
15:05	apply them regularly , you will master it . Okay
15:08	? And make up your mind that now that you
15:10	spend the time to watch this lesson , you're going
15:12	to master this once and for all , there are
15:14	not that many that I covered and whatever we covered
