Let him go.

E presume she knows what she's talking about, but hi James Ming vid.

This lesson goes out to Jen from Tennessee.

She asked about the difference between PRESUME and assume, and today we're going to work on it.

Thanks, Jen, because as a actually, I like to think of myself with someone who likes to read a lot and has a pretty good handle.

Handle means like control of our knowledge off English.

I was just surprised when I was working with assume and presume how similar they are and the differences.

So let me help you today.

Alright, guys, let's go to the board, presume or assume even a lot of native speakers make a mistake when using it.

Actually, I'm kind of lying because they just generally use, assume and don't bother with PRESUME.

It's only usually used for formal occasions, but what does assume mean?

Well, let's look at the word mystery assumed the position.

As you can see, he has his arms and legs spread out.

If you've ever done this before, boys and girls, you need to go home early and you need a spanking your parents would raise you better.

That means to bring you up better because you're a bad person to assume, to take up.

Really.

We mean to take, which means to go or to start.

If he assumed responsibility at the company, it means he started responsibility.

He started to do something or she started right.

They assumed control.

They took control at that time and started to be in control from then on.

Next position.

That's a position.

Now sometimes people say, assume the position in baseball, you're going to get down and get the bat ready.

Assumed the position.

If you're going to jail, assumed the position.

There's other positions you can assume.

But that's for another time.

Okay, so that's what we mean by assume.

And I should have explained to start from assume.

That means away from evidence.

Usually, when we assume something, we don't have evidence, we think it's true.

That's it.

We just believe or think we have nothing to show us.

It's true.

I assume the sun will come up tomorrow.

I have no proof or evidence.

I just think so.

Okay, so that leads us to this one.

Believe and expect.

We just believe it.

So we expect something to happen, it doesn't mean there's a reason for it to happen.

It's just my belief and expectations.

Okay, so I believe I will be here tomorrow because, well, I'm here today.

No proof, but hoping it'll be true tomorrow.

Okay, Another one for assume is pretend she assumed the dead woman's identity.

All right, she pretended to be the dead woman.

It kind of comes with Start.

You start something, but with pretend you continue to do it.

So when somebody assume someone's identity, they take it on.

So Superman and Clark Kent he assumed the identity of Clark Kent cause he's Superman release and he pretends to be Clark Kent.

Cool.

Another one.

Think sometimes people will say, Let's assume this is true on They mean, let's pretend so we can think about it.

Let's assume we're all rich millionaires living in Brazil right now and we're having champagne.

Alright, We're not because we're watching this video, but let's assume let's think or pretend Okay, because there's no evidence to say anything opposite Weaken.

Just assume anything, and that's why it's used in more informal English and use more regularly by English speakers.

Presume though PRESUME has a different meaning.

But just before we get there, let's look at assume is a verb right?

Assume, assuming as a noun, we want to say assumption.

That's an assumption.

You made you said something.

You didn't have evidence.

You just said it was true.

Now let's look at the adjective we can have assumed.

When you assumed something, you took it for granted.

You just said, It's it's just true.

Once again, there's no evidence.

You just said it's true.

But if you could assume something like you assumed I loved you, you just took it that I loved you.

You didn't have evidence and you didn't even care.

That's what we mean by take for granted.

Taking for granted means you don't care.

You just say it's true and I don't care about anything else.

I'm not going to put the time or effort to even try to prove it.

Okay, Another adjective meaning is assuming an unassuming assuming in this case, it's quite funny if you use it here.

It means sort of like arrogant overconfidence in assuming smile, because it's like I know, but remember, it's without evidence, so you shouldn't really be assuming in this way.

The other opposite funny is unassuming, which means common or normal.

He had an unassuming smile like it's average and common.

Nothing special.

Nothing threatening.

Threatening means make you feel afraid, right?

The house had an unassuming appeal to it.

Common or normal appeal.

So you might like it.

One thing we use in English to actually explain assume is because it comes away.

There is no connection with evidence.

We usually say, Don't assume, Are you making us?

Which is a donkey on animal or you make yourself stupid?

You make an ass out of you, That's you, the England viewer and me.

So don't assume so.

If you're not too sure of this lesson, make sure you go back over it again.

And don't assume you understand it into you.

Mustard.

It now looks like a presume.

It looks very similar to assume, in fact, they both share in something.

Truth right?

Somebody believes something is true in this case.

You assume, without evidence.

So you think it's true, but you haven't got any evidence to say it's true in this case.

It's interesting.

You think it's true because of something evidence you had from before.

Okay.

When I said here the sun will come up.

I assumed it would.

I had no evidence.

I didn't care on this one.

I say to you, I presumed it would come up because it came up, came up.

It came up yesterday.

It came up the day before, and the day before that and the last 100 years, it came up.

Therefore, I presume, based on previous evidence now, remember, evidence from yesterday or proof doesn't mean it's going to happen tomorrow, but it gives you an idea it might on.

That's why we use PRESUME in fact, in law in Canada and the United States and Great Britain.

We say you are presumed innocents.

That means we until, until proven guilty, we believe you are.

It isn't based on evidence from prior cases.

That means before cases, you are innocents.

Until we have something opposite to prove you are guilty.

Okay, Presumed innocent front is the exact opposite.

By the way, you're presumed guilty until proven isn't so.

Don't think it's everywhere in the world.

All right, now you'll notice how I explain that, and it comes here.

So look, believe until contrary countries this fancy word that just means whoops.

Contrary to belief, I can't spell English.

I forgot the c o n.

Sorry, coterie.

It's a new English word.

Welcome to invent, Contrary to the contrary.

Okay.

Yeah.

So what happens is as I said, with the law, you are innocent until we see something opposite.

The next one is if this is true and this is what happens.

Do you remember?

I gave the example above the sun yesterday, the day before it kept coming up.

So then, because of that, I have strong evidence.

So I believe what I say is right.

This leads people to become overconfident and in some cases, arrogant because they have some knowledge from before they think.

Now I know everything.

So anything I say is right on.

I can presume which is to believe, based on experience from before everything is true.

Well, boys and girls, most of us know now that if you go past your country and go in the water, you don't fall off the edge of the birth.

Ah, lot of people presume this before because ships weren't built.

Vory well would go squint sailing and disappear.

So they would said giant monster at the end of the earth would eat people because we know from evidence they never come back.

We know better now, right?

But they were overconfident.

Arrogance.

So they didn't even try to check if the facts were right.

So be careful of presumption.

Presumption.

There we go.

Presumption is the noun form of PRESUME.

PRESUME is the verb.

And if we go down here presuming or presumptuous will notice these two words, which are adjectives to describe something go right back up too arrogant and confident.

I'm sorry.

Overconfident.

You know, I don't want to presume too much here, but I'm going to assume I know I have no evidence right now that this lesson was pretty good for you.

We're gonna do a quick recap because I don't want you making any assumptions on your own.

That might be incorrect on our unassuming worm friend.

He's relaxed, so he's gonna give me a minute to to do this for you.

All right, So what we want to remember is a for assume is away from evidence.

There is no evidence to help you to prove it's true.

So when you assume something you said I just assumed because nobody told me I had no other evidence.

I had to assume you understand.

PRESUME means before.

So if you presume you should be able to show someone some evidence that this is why you thought it would be true.

PRESUME is formal, usually used in law or medicine, right where they have evidence and they can say because of this and this, I presume this would be true.

Assume is commonly used.

In fact, 95% of the time Canadians will say this, and they won't say that even though PRESUME is more accurate.

You could test your knowledge.

You know where you're gonna test it.

Well, I want you to assume you're going to learn, right?

And you wanna go to a special place called Invited and you can assume you'll learn something.

Expecting?

Believe, right.

And then you'll start assuming the identity of a English speaker.

Yeah, I presume.

From there.

Well, I hope I'm wrong that you might start getting over confident and arrogant.

Don't do that.

Okay?

Because if you do that and you presume too much, you might make a fool of yourself.

See, that's gonna believe up until something contrary happens.

All right, so that was a quick overview.

I need you to go to w w w dot Assuming you have a computer, right?

Mm.

Hangs in the English vivid as in video dot com Where me?

My fantastic worm.

And I did it again.

Man, I didn't know con No calm.

Assuming I could teach English, you could probably presume I would get these two.

Right?

Right?

Right.

Anyway, you could www dot Ingrid dot com.

And then you can actually stop assuming and start presuming that you have mustard this language.

Thanks.

And I'm out.

I wanna work on dot com and contrary dot com, And I assume I learned it by the time I get back dot com and contrary dot com and contrary.
