English @ the Movies: 'I'm From A Different Planet'


source: VOA Learning English    2017年3月17日
Today on English @ the Movies we talk about the saying "I'm from a different planet." It is from the movie "The Space Between Us." It is about a boy who grows up on Mars, but falls for a girl on Earth. Originally published at - http://learningenglish.voanews.com/a/...

# on/from/living on another planet: used for saying that someone does not notice what is happening around them, or has ideas that are not reasonable or practical. The party doesn’t seem to be in touch with popular opinion – it’s as if they’re living on another planet.

Nouns that are always Plural


source: Learn English with Let's Talk    2017年10月20日
Of all the English grammar concepts we have, “plural” seems to be one of the most uncomplicated. Did you get one thing? It’s singular. Got more than one thing? It’s plural. But alas, language is always less undemanding than we expect. The way we conceptualize something—as one thing or many things—doesn’t always match up with the way our word for it behaves. There are some nouns that only have a plural form, regardless of how we think of them. In this English lesson from Let's Talk English Speaking Institute in Mumbai, you will learn Nouns which are always in the plural form.

Watch the video and then, read on to learn more about the words and phrases that I used:

*** I'm using this reusable bag ***
If something is reusable, it means it can be used over again.

*** What I don't like about it... ***
This is a great phrase to know and can be used with HATE, LIKE, LOVE etc.
- What I hate about the gym is...
- What I love about soccer is...

*** It's going to leak ***
If something leaks, it means that water escapes. The adjective is leaky.
- That's a leaky water bottle

*** I go to the gym without showering ***
We use the gerund after words like after 😀, before, without etc.
- I brush my teeth after eating lunch
- He's tired after working out

*** I've been reusing it ***
To reuse something means to use it again. It's the verb form of reusable (like before).

*** I'm going to see how long I can keep this going ***
To keep something going means to continue doing something.
- he's been running for 6 hours. I don't know how long he can keep it going.

*** I grew up swimming ***

*** My dad used to wake me up at 5:30 ***
See here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lrAYQ...

*** drink up ***
Not as common as to drink but this phrasal verb means to complete a drink.

*** It's in this awkward stage ***
Awkward means, well, it's hard to explain. In this case, it means that my hair isn't looking too good right now.

*** I won't show you the combination ***
The combination is the code that unlocks the lock.

*** I've kept it since ***
