  • every day, every day, every day.

  • I'm hustling, shuffling hi James from England, oh it's about today's lesson.

  • I'm saying every day Andy is telling us that this is not the correct word and if you're wondering what we're talking about, I'm talking about compound words.

  • The word every day is actually made up of two words every day, but depending on how it's put together, i e if the word is separate every day and they're put together, they actually have different meanings.

  • Yeah, and this is actually sometimes made a mistake by english speakers.

  • Now when we speak you can't hear it, but when you write it there's a definite difference.

  • And today's lesson is to show you what it means when these words are put together or taking apart the differences and I'll let you know how they use grammatically.

  • Okay, and give you some examples.

  • You ready?

  • Let's go to the board and find out why he is telling me this every day.

  • I'm hustling is wrong, they start off with the first one will be a while versus a while versus a while.

  • So you have to be careful when you pronounce it really, When you're speaking all of these, you're not going to hear a difference, but once you write it on paper they do mean different things.

  • So a while and a while is actually a period of time, right?

  • So it could be a short period of time or a long period of time but it just means a duration of time that is passing the difference between this and this is when you have this you don't need to use a preposition and specifically the preposition.

  • I'm thinking about is this four.

  • This is understood to be part of this, even though this is a phrase when we say this phrase, we have to say for a while mr we will be late, you will be you will have to wait for for a while, otherwise you can say you'll have to wait a while for E Where's the four?

  • It's contained in here, so a preposition isn't necessary.

  • So whenever you write this one, you need a preposition but when you use this one no preposition goes before it.

  • Cool.

  • So that's your first one down of the common everyday mistakes.

  • See I did that in there for you see five every day.

  • So I'm going to come here and explain what the difference is and why he said Alright, alright.

  • Check that out.

  • That was by accident.

  • I swear to you, I wasn't doing it on purpose.

  • So there's all right and all right.

  • And we're gonna say what is the difference?

  • Well, there isn't.

  • They're both all right.

  • Although I wrote down adjective and you can see adjective adjective, adverb, the actual correct one when you write it on papers, is this one you know what?

  • I'm gonna do something different?

  • I'm gonna do frog green.

  • This one is the one you should use most of the time.

  • It's the easiest one to do now if you are actually writing on writing to your friend or buddy and you're doing a text message.

  • This is fine.

  • Don't let anyone tell you know it's fine and everybody understands.

  • Alright.

  • True.

  • But if you're doing a paper, a formal paper, you need to put this one down.

  • And in fact, I would say this is the safest one to use because whether it is a informal writing or formal writing, there's no correction necessary.

  • And all right.

  • Means it's okay or it's what's the word I want to?

  • It's satisfactory.

  • And if you hear me say satisfactory, that long word is like it lacks a little something when something you know it's alright.

  • It's okay.

  • It's not that great.

  • It's not bad.

  • However, if someone says to you, are you all right?

  • It means are you okay?

  • Physically?

  • You're doing okay.

  • There's nothing wrong with you.

  • A little bit of a different meaning and we will be using this one here.

  • Okay?

  • So it means both of them mean satisfactory or okay?

  • But if I ask you are you all right?

  • Please write this and if you're doing a formal paper, please write this.

  • Okay?

  • But if you're going to be writing to your friend and text or something, you put all right, okay, I'll meet you later on.

  • All right.

  • This is good enough.

  • All right.

  • Oh sorry.

  • It's also a filler word.

  • I have to do a video on filler words.

  • Words that you say like or like that You shouldn't say all the time another day.

  • He said every day was wrong and I have to every days.

  • What is the difference?

  • Well, we got day and every, so something must be similar.

  • We've just discussed that, but when we say, let's start with the easy one.

  • Every day separated, we're talking about each and every day, I have oatmeal every day.

  • And what does that mean?

  • On Monday?

  • On Tuesday, on Wednesday, it's repeated and it's daily.

  • You can say, well, what's the difference here?

  • Well now we've got this compound word put together every day.

  • It means routine or regular.

  • It doesn't mean the daily intervals of time is a bit different.

  • So if you say this is my everyday clothing, it means my regular clothing and I'm not talking about monday Tuesday Wednesday, I'm just saying general normal or routine.

  • Okay.

  • His everyday clothing is a suit because he works in an office or you could say every day he wears a suit similar but not the same.

  • This one is routine.

  • This one is duration of time that is repeated.

  • The daily repetition.

  • Cool.

  • And now if we go over here every day, I'm hustling makes no sense because what he's trying to say or what I was singing is every day that month, monday, Tuesday Wednesday, thursday, I'm hustling, it's not my regular thing.

  • Cool.

  • So I'm really emphasizing the daily aspect and you need to use this one here's an interesting one altogether and altogether.

  • You gotta be careful.

  • They came altogether.

  • It's altogether All right.

  • It almost sounds okay all together means as a group.

  • They came all together at the restaurant.

  • So they all arrived at the same time as a group.

  • Okay.

  • But altogether means completely he was altogether wrong.

  • It means completely wrong.

  • It's not group wrong.

  • So all those, they seem somewhat the same.

  • The meaning is very different.

  • I had an altogether different experience.

  • I had a completely different experience.

  • We need to get all together.

  • If we're going to go on the trip, we need to get as a group very different meaning even though they look somewhat similar.

  • Right?

  • Cool.

  • That's a little tougher because you're like, but they're so different like this is why people make mistakes because they look at the spelling and they see similarity in the words and they think, hey, why not make sense?

  • I've seen these words enough, but they've taken it out of context and don't understand how it's supposed to be used right now.

  • Ah My favorite because I am so guilty of doing this so guilty.

  • Alright, so you've got a lot, a lot, a lot.

  • I'm gonna, I was gonna make a joke about this but I don't want to get in trouble.

  • So a lot is not a word what I see.

  • Many people write a lot like that.

  • Yeah, it's not a word, it's not a word, it's supposed to be this one, which is an idiom.

  • It means much very much or a lot let's just say very much or many here.

  • I have a lot of money but not a lot of time and not a lot of women.

  • I am a very sad man a lot.

  • Okay now this you're gonna think this is the plural of this, it's a verb and it means to distribute or give out a very different meaning the double Ellen put together is a verb and it means to distribute or give out.

  • So I was allotted four chairs at my table.

  • They gave me or distributed four chairs at my table.

  • But I don't think that's a lot.

  • That would be many.

  • Look at that.

  • He played with it.

  • Yeah I did.

  • You can to the beauty of mustering english or mustering anything, you can start to play but this.

  • No.

  • So what I'm saying is when you say it will sound like this they'll say they sound the same.

  • Almost all of these sound the same as you say them but the key is writing.

  • So when we're looking at this issue is when you're writing it down remember they're going to be different ideas associated with these things.

  • If you write this this is not english, even if you write it to your friend and no one's gonna see it's still not english, that's the correct spelling for that and if you're putting this one together, remember it's a verb too mean to give out or distribute?

  • Oh I think I've used my allotted time and teaching you these.

  • So what I wanna do is go to the quiz.

  • Okay give you something a little extra.

  • Just a little extra.

  • And of course our homework.

  • You ready?

  • Okay.

  • Time for the quiz.

  • Let's see what you remember or retained from the lesson.

  • You ready?

  • Let's go to the board.

  • The first question we have is we did a lot of work today.

  • What should go up there?

  • Mhm.

  • A lot now I'm over pronouncing it.

  • I don't want you going down.

  • I did a lot of work today.

  • They'll think you have a mental problem not just an english problem.

  • And what did I say about this one?

  • That's right this is not a word right?

  • You will see people putting it down because they know it's a lot.

  • They'll write it down.

  • Don't do so okay next we might be here do this here, we might be here for a while or a while.

  • I know they both have something to do with a period of time but what was the rule I gave you?

  • Yeah because we have this preposition.

  • This already includes it so we can just say sorry this includes it.

  • So we use this one here a wow right.

  • This one follows a preposition.

  • Cool, what about this 1?

  • # three he was crying.

  • So I asked if everything was All right now here's the Funny one.

  • What did I say?

  • It's funny about this?

  • Well, if this was a part of an essay, you would have to use this one.

  • If this was just common texting, you could use this one.

  • So you have to know context for this one.

  • Who am I writing to?

  • My writing to my professor in a paper?

  • Go with this 100%.

  • Does't matter.

  • You're writing to a friend in the text.

  • This is all right.

  • Number four She rode her bicycle every day every day actually.

  • It kind of makes sense.

  • She rode a bicycle every day.

  • Every day.

  • Makes sense.

  • Crazy.

  • But yeah.

  • Alright.

  • So which one is it?

  • Now?

  • You have to understand the idea.

  • It could be routine.

  • But really what we're trying to say is this specifying daily as in monday Tuesday Wednesday.

  • So every day she rode her bicycle each day right now.

  • Number five, they arrived all together or altogether.

  • Okay, well this one we just have to do a simple translation.

  • They arrived completely.

  • Well, it's not Star trek, you know?

  • Well you're being beamed down.

  • It's like they're missing arms and legs.

  • Captain, they arrived as a group.

  • Right?

  • So they arrived all together because remember this one means completely and if you don't watch Star trek, go watch Star trek, then you'll know what I'm talking about when they beam down.

  • Sometimes it doesn't work out and they don't rise altogether.

  • Alright.

  • Sometimes not altogether.

  • And sometimes not altogether watch a couple episodes, you'll know what I mean.

  • Okay.

  • And you know who scotty is?

  • He wears a red shirt but he always survives.

  • That's another thing we'll talk about red shirts.

  • Okay.

  • So as you know, we've done our quiz and what I want to do now is I want to give you a little bit and it is this time a little bit.

  • One more compound word or phrase that people sometimes make mistakes.

  • See sometime I went there.

  • Okay, so some time here is a period of time that's usually long.

  • We may be here for some time.

  • That means a period of time or maybe a long period of time.

  • But when we put it together it changes to an adverb.

  • Sorry, this is an adjective.

  • It changes to an adverb and it means an unknown unknown amount of time.

  • That was tough.

  • Unknown unknowns and unknown amount of time and usually it's a future that is unspecified.

  • So if I say to you, hey let's go for dinner sometime.

  • When are we going?

  • I didn't tell you, You know it's not now because I said let's go sometime.

  • So it's unknown.

  • Unknown amount of time.

  • I told you.

  • English is a tough language to learn.

  • It's tough for me too.

  • I don't like this.

  • Okay, so it's an unknown amount of time and it's an unspecified time in the future.

  • Let's go for a drink sometime could be a week, could be a month.

  • You don't know, it's unknown and it's pushed into the future as opposed to I have been at the doctors for some time, which would be a long amount of time.

  • Cool.

  • Alright.

  • I know you got this.

  • So because I know you got this, here's what I want you to do.

  • It wouldn't be a class or it wouldn't be my class if we didn't do homework.

  • So I want you to make up your own sentences using these compound words or phrases.

  • Okay, write them in the comments below either in in vivid or you can do it on youtube and for each one you get right, you're gonna get 1000 points.

  • So I want you guys to mark those thumbs up or given the right, let them know they've done a good job because this is a little bit complicated.

  • As I said.

  • Native speakers make mistakes on this every day, every day.

  • I'm hustling, you know, So if they're making it, you're probably making them.

  • But now you won't anyway, I gotta get going.

  • But before I go, where I want you to go is to W W W ng as an english videos as a video dot com where you can do the quiz for this particular lesson and you can see other verb, other verbs, other lessons on verb usages, compound words.
