think about these sentences, ‘I want a slice of pizza’, ‘I want a piece of cake’,

‘I want to buy new pair of headphones’… well what you think these are? Well you are

using measure words to define that the things that you want in your daily life. Similarly

today I’ve got a bunch of stuff for you, so here are certain words and certain things

that we need on a daily life basis, okay? These are our necessities and we are going

to learn, what do we exactly use, to tell what you want and how you use measure words

to define these things that we need on a daily basis, okay? Let’s understand how we’ve

been getting wrong all these years, and see what’s the right thing to use. Okay, so

here’s the thing, I’m going to randomly start, because I want you guys to have fun

with it, instead of being a boring old lesson, I want you to just try to take it as a test

for yourself. Okay, let's start with oil here, now whenever you're cooking something okay,

you go on any cooking channel, you would hear the chefs talk in this language, ‘pour a

tablespoon of oil’ in the in the pan, okay? So when it comes to oil, and cooking in the

kitchen, you can use measure words like “teaspoon” or “tablespoon”. The tablespoon is obviously

the one which has, which is going to be more in ‘ml’ then the teaspoon, it’s the

bigger spoon, okay? So oil will always be tablespoon or teaspoon which is a smaller

one. So you would say, pour a tablespoon of oil in the pan or just a teaspoon of olive

oil in the pan. Alright, let's see which one, well I'm sure you guys like Nutella a lot.

Now whenever you want Nutella, how would you say it? How would you tell, what you want

exactly? Maybe you want a teaspoon of Nutella, but because it is so yummy, you would always

want a “jar of Nutella”. So Nutella will always be used with a jar of Nutella. ‘I

ate a complete jar of Nutella today and it was yum. Usually, I buy a jar of Nutella each

month to use in my sandwiches, right? So that's Nutella for you. Now let's talk about ‘scissors’

right here, so whenever you are asking for scissors, buying scissor or looking for scissors…

Scissors are things which always happen to get lost at least in my house, I don't know

about yours, well this one's pretty famous, it's just one scissor, but you will always

say “a pair of scissors” just the way your ‘jeans’ are, your pair of jeans similarly,

scissors are also termed and attached with pair of scissors. Could you please pass me

that pair of scissors? I'm looking for a pair of scissors, they are orange in color, do

you know where they are? See… Alright, now let's talk about ‘cotton’ you know the

small, tiny cotton balls that you use for cleaning your face or wiping something? Well,

I just said or give you a hint as to what you would attach with ‘cotton’, you would

say a “ball of cotton”. That's correct, a ball of cotton. Can you pass me that ball

of cotton, I just need to wipe my face? Hey, do you have a ball of cotton, I seem to have

dropped something on my t-shirt. Having spoken about cotton, let's talk about ‘toilet paper’

here, any guesses? What would we use with toilet paper? We would use, okay let me just

quickly draw this, it's gonna be looking like this, right? That's what your toilet paper

is looks like, mmm right, it's “a roll of toilet paper”. Hey you are out of toilet

paper, pass me a roll of toilet paper. It's a roll, right? And that's what you need to

remember when you're talking about toilet papers. Alright, let's talk about ‘glue’,

shall we? Well now you have glue in different forms, so try and imagine this, you have sticks,

glue sticks, then you have tubes, right? Keep it that simple, you will only remember when

you try to imagine what the product or the item or the object looks like. Now glue comes

in a on a stick or in a bottle, so you would say, “a stick of glue” or “a bottle

of glue”, okay? I need a stick of glue for my project tomorrow. I used a complete bottle

of glue to stick the sparkles and the sequences on my greeting card. Alright, talking about

glue, I'm gonna make a major shift and talk about “lettuce”, all those people out

there who love eating salads and are looking at different vegetables to include in their

salads, I'm sure you're looking at lettuce as well. Well if you try and think or if you

remember how a lettuce looks like, it looks like a cabbage roll, right? It's round and

it has a, it's in a role form, well particularly for lettuce, you would say “head of lettuce”.

I went out and bought a lot of vegetables, I also bought a head of lettuce. I am going

to use my head of lettuce in my salad today, okay? That's how you can use lettuce, a head

of lettuce. Alright, how can I forget about “bread”, in daily life situations we always

end up buying bread for the house, so a bread comes in what form? Usually a big fat… yes,

“loaf”, okay? Although you can order a slice, but you buy it in a loaf form. So we're

going to use two words, “a loaf of bread”, as well as “a slice of bread”. You will

never buy a slice of bread, you would order a slice of bread probably, with your pasta,

so you would say, can I please get a slice of garlic bread? But when you go out to a

shop to a grocery shop to buy, you would buy a loaf of bread, alright? Okay, now let's

talk about “salt” right, now salt whenever added in anything is used in a form of a teaspoon

or a tablespoon, but here's the thing, I've got a fancier word for you, you can say the

next time you want to put salt, could you please pass me that salt, I just need “a

dash of it” so, a dash of salt. Usually a dash of salt is just, a little bit, just

like throwing it just a little bit, you know a dash of salt to make your dish yummy or

tasty. Okay let's talk about “toothpaste” here, now again like I said imagine the object,

toothpaste comes in a tube form, right? So it's as simple as that, you would say, “a

tube of toothpaste”. I need to buy a tube of toothpaste today. ‘My toothpaste is over,

could you please buy me a tube on your way home?’ right? That's how see how you can

put it in a sentence. “A tape”, a tape again looks like a roll, right? Right, so

here as well you can say, “a roll of tape”. A roll of tape, similar to a toilet paper,

a roll of tape. Okay, let's talk about “garlic”. For all the yummy dishes like your pasta,

your noodles, you would need garlic. You will need to add garlic, so whenever you're cooking

or whenever you're telling someone how to prepare a dish, you would say, add “a clove

of garlic” or two cloves of garlic, okay? So a clove of garlic, alright? A clove of

garlic. Let's talk about “vodka” how many of you out there enjoy having vodka? Okay,

whenever you talk about vodka, you can attach it with “a shot of vodka”, simple? Right?

A shot of vodka, okay? Alright, now “lemonade”, especially in your summers, any time of the

year, I am a huge fan of lemonade. Well a lemonade can come in a jar or in a glass,

simple, right? You can always use “a jar of lemonade” or “a glass of lemonade”.

I drink a whole jar of lemonade every time after my workout. I desperately need a glass

of lemonade I'm super thirsty or super dehydrated, right? Any remaining ones, of course there

you go, “soap” and “medicine”, let's start with soap right here, again soap looks

like a bar, right? it's in a bar form, in a square or rectangular form or circles, but

for soap you will say, you will use “a bar of soap”. A bar of soap right, in a different

form or in a square form that's a bar of soap. Okay now medicine, usually medicine will come

in a teaspoon form, not the tablespoons not the big ones, teaspoon. So you would say,

pass, okay I need to have tablespoon of medicine today. In liquid form okay, this is particularly

in liquid form teaspoon, right? A teaspoon of Medicine. Alright, there you go, there

are your necessary daily life objects, things to eat, food, liquid, your stationery, your

personal items and this is how you're going to attach it, these are the words you're going

to attach it with, when you use it in a sentence. Alright, that's all for the day guys, I hope

you have enjoyed and I'm sure that these were certain useful tips for you, alright go ahead

and use it in your conversations. Well that's all for the day, I'm gonna see you soon in

the next video with another topic, until then like I always say keep smiling guys, this
