Podcasts about adverbial

In our Random Thought, we talk about why people are mean. The link to our source is at the end of these notes.All you all,I (Carrie) am the WORST copyeditor for my own work. I'll admit it and that's because as a writer, I'm too close to it to pick out my errors, right?That's why it's good to have other people read your stories before you put them out there.So, we (Carrie and Shaun) are going to talk about some grammar mistakes: three super common ones. Ready?1. Every day or everydayWhat the what, right? There's a difference?Yes, yes, there is.Everyday when it's all one word is an adjective. That means it's describing something that happens all the time.Dreaming about manatees is an everyday occurrence for Carrie.Every day when it's two separate words is an adverbial phrase. Doesn't that sound fancy and terrifying? Adverbial phrase.It just means “each day.”Every day Carrie dreams about manatees.2. The magic apostropheI (Carrie) talk about apostrophes a lot and that's because a lot of us just haven't gotten the memo yet. That's okay! Don't be hard on yourself. Here's the memo again.Apostrophes have two main jobs.Job #1 is to show that something is possessing something else. No! Not in an exorcism kind of way, but an ownership kind of way.The manatee's flipper was so cute.The manatee owns that flipper. It possesses it.Job #2 is to show there's some letters missing because we have smooshed or contracted two words together.So, ‘It is' becomes it's. The apostrophe is replacing the I in ‘is.'Or ‘they are' becomes they're. The apostrophe is replacing the A in ‘are.'A lot of us write a word and maybe that word ends in an s. We go, “AH! It ends in a s. There should be an apostrophe in there, right? I shall put one in.” Only DO THAT IF IT IS A POSSESSIVE.Right: Apostrophes are cute little buggers and it's hard to resist them.Wrong: Apostrophe's are cute little buggers and its' hard to resist them.3. Lose it or Loose it?These words are evil little buttfaces. It's that double ‘o' versus single ‘o' that gets our brains all hooked up. Choose or chose has this issue too.Why are those o's so confusing? I don't know, but I do know that when I was little, I (Carrie) loved to put pupils inside them and make a smiley face.Here are the hints:LOOSE means not tight. It rhymes with moose! LOSE means you have lost something. You poor honey. That rhymes with booze. CHOOSE means you have to make a choice. It's the present. It's happening now. It rhymes with moose. CHOSE means you already made that choice. Are you regretting it? It rhymes with pose.Spoiler Alert: Don't be a butthead about other people's grammar mistakes.Here's the thing: We are all human. We all make mistakes. It is not the end of the world and other humans (the good ones) shouldn't be trolls about it. No offense to trolls. But we all have to be a little less harsh, a little less judgmental and a lot more understanding and forgiving.If someone writes its for it's or lay for lie, it doesn't mean they deserve to die or get your hairy eyeball of judgment. It just means they made a mistake. It's part of being human. And it's okay.DOG TIP FOR LIFEEnjoy life when you're here and don't waste your time being a meanie.BE A PART OF OUR MISSION!Hey!

Next level parts of speech—adverbs ! (See the “intro” to adverbs episode here!) https://languageartsladyblog.com/7105-2/ Today's episode about adverbs covers the following: The sneaky cat EASILY climbs. - So far: Articles/Noun Markers + Noun + Adjectives + Verbs + Adverbs - When my students have two difficult or confusing/similar concepts, I tell them they only need a trick for one!      —AdVERB      —Adjectives AVA —Adjectives —Verbs —Adverbs   Adverbs tell: —HOW: carefully ran —WHEN: later called —WHERE: drove downtown —TO WHAT EXTENT: extremely helpful   Not all adverbs are ly words —especially those dealing with time (never, always, seldom, later) —-especially negative words (not, never, seldom, etc) —especially ones that are also prepositions (up, down, over, under, etc)   General tips —importance of recognizing all verbs and telling the difference between action/BHL —knowing that to plus action verb is an infinitive (a verb) —importance of knowing the things adverbs tell (since they're mostly action-related and different than what adjectives tell (what kind, etc)   Adverbs Vs prepositions —up the mountain (prep) —hang up the phone (up is adverb)   Two kinds of adverb openers 1. One word adverb opener (most ly ones use a comma: Unfortunately, he didn't answer. ) 2. Adverbial phrase or clause (have to listen carefully for where the phrase or clause ends and the “real sentence” begins: Carefully carrying the cake, he knew she would love it!)

Pattern 9 is the last pattern used in forming a basic simple sentence. This pattern has 4 parts: Subject, Predicator, Direct Object, and Adverbial. In the previous episodes, subject, predicator, and direct object have been explained. In this episode, the adverbial is explained. The adverbial is an adverb and its function is to qualify a noun. Example of pattern 9 sentences: I placed the food on the dining table. "I" is the subject; "placed" is the predicator; "the food" is the direct object, and "on the dining table" is the adverbial. TAKE AWAY: ALWAYS CELEBRATE YOUR VICTORIES — BIG OR SMALL

The following text is taken verbatim from the book, 300 Days of Better Writing: A daily handbook for improving your writing written by David Bowman (2010) “An introductory adverbial phrase is a phrase at the beginning of the sentence that tells something about the main verb, such as when it occurred, how, or to what degree. Consider this sentence. “After reading the newspaper, John felt relaxed.” The phrase “after reading the newspaper” tells when John felt relaxed. This phrase is an introductory […]

The -ly suffix is a contraction hiding in plain sight. It is cognate with the word "like," and indeed, it literally means "like." "Sadly" is sad-like. "Madly" is mad-like. Amazingly, both "like" and "-ly" derive from a root word meaning "body or corpse." Over the course of this episode, we try to make sense of this semantic evolution. 

Adverbial clauses, linkers and conjunctions - AIRC133 Más podcasts para mejorar tu ingles en: http://www.inglespodcast.com/  More podcasts to improve your English at: http://www.inglespodcast.com/  In this episode we're going to help you with Adverbial clauses, linkers, conjunctions etc Audio feedback from Edu from Peru You can sign up for free English chat at inglespodcast.com We also publish the dates and the times of the online conversaiton chat on our Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/mansioningles/) and on Twitter (https://twitter.com/ - @mansiontwit) Listener Feedback: Bruno Schvidah from Brazil sent us an email. My name is Bruno and I am from Brazil but recently living in Copenhagen! My weak side has been "adverbial clauses and linkers" I would really like to go through that! For now, I wish you all a great Friday! All the best, Bruno We're sorry it's taken us so long to answer your question, Bruno. We spoke about some linking words in Episode 55 (but, even though/although, however, in spite of/despite) ( http://www.inglespodcast.com/2015/06/14/linking-words-but-even-thoughalthough-however-in-spite-ofdespite-etc-shopping-expressions-airc55/ ) What Are Adverbial Clauses? "An adverbial clause is a group of words which does what an adverb does. Adverbial clauses (like all clauses) contain a subject and a verb. For example: "I eat dark chocolate daily." (normal adverb) "I'm going to eat dark chocolate until you tell me to stop." (adverbial clause = "until you tell me to stop") More examples: I never knew how wonderful life could be until I started podcasting. I'll let you know as soon as I publish this episode. Now that we've eaten, we can have some of that chocolate cake. Adverbial clauses don’t have to speak about time. They can also be about contrast, cause and effect, condition etc. Contrast:I had some chocolate cake even though I was full. (even though = aunque) Cause and effect: I’ve put on weight this month because I’ve been eating so much cake. Condition: I’m not going to Disneyland unless you come with me. (unless = a menos que, a no ser que) More linkers: In spite of / Despite - “I bought an iphone in spite of the price.” (in spite of/despite = a pesar de) They go at the beginning or in the middle of a sentence. “Reza arrived on time despite / in spite of missing the bus” Instead of (en vez de, en lugar de) “This year we’re having roast lamb for Christmas dinner instead of turkey.” Although (aunque) / though / even though / in spite of the fact that (a pesar de que) - “Although/Even though/Though I was full, I had another piece of cake.” "Even though" is more emphatic than "although". “Though” can also go at the end of a second sentence in informal English: These connectors are followed by a complete sentence. They can be placed at the beginning or in the middle of the sentence. If they are at the beginning we put a comma after the clause. "I had another piece of cake, although I was full." “In spite of the fact that the neighbours were making a noise, we decided to record this podcast.” “Reza loves Berta. She rarely thinks about him, though.” "I'm sorry, we don't have any chocolate cake. We've got some biscuits, though." However (sin embargo) / nevertheless/nonetheless (no obstante) / even so (aun así) At/Near the start of a second sentence: “I was really tired. Even so, I decided to go out for a beer.” (sin embargo, aun así) “Craig’s on a diet. However, he can’t lose any weight.” “I didn’t like the price. Nevertheless/Nonetheless, I bought it.” Or at the end of a second sentence in informal English: “I didn’t like the price. I bought it, nonetheless.” While / whereas (mientras que) In the middle or at the start of a sentence: “Our last podcast was really interesting, whereas/while this one is a bit boring.” “While/whereas the last podcast was really interesting, this one is a bit boring:” On the one hand / on the other hand (por un lado / por el otro lado) Links two contrasting ideas. “On the one hand” can be omitted: (On the one hand,) I think that technology has helped society in the areas of health, work, education etc. On the other hand we might be too dependant on technology and maybe to addicted to it as well. On the contrary - al contrario Some people say that people can’t change. On the contrary, I think they can! We can use linkers to add information: Moreover (además) / furthermore / besides (además) / in addition (to) (además (de)) / as well as (además de) / apart from (aparte de) / what’s more (además; lo que es más, y encima) / on top of that (además) / as well = too (también) at the end of a sentence “In addition to jazz music, Craig also likes rap.” Besides music and podcasting, what other hobbies do you have at the moment? - It's a nice day for a walk, and besides, I need the exercise. I think you owe me an apology. Furthermore, you need to apologise to my wife. Your company did not inform us of the building work in the hotel. Moreover, no compensation was offered. Juan was at the meeting, as well as Sara and Maria. ‘Apart from Spanish, Reza also speaks French”. “He's ugly and what's more, he's not very nice.” "What a day! First I woke up late, then the car wouldn't start, and on top of that, I dropped my phone and broke it." She likes tea. She likes coffee as well/too. We can use linkers to show consequences and results: As a result (of) (debido a,como resultado, como consecuencia) / therefore (por lo tanto, por eso) / consequently, as a consequence (en consecuencia, y entonces, y por eso) / for this reason “Reza and I work very hard on this podcast. As a result, it’s becoming one of the most popular learning English podcasts in itunes.” “I think, therefore I am.” - pienso, luego existo “I wanted it; consequently, I bought it.” “I don’t think I can help you develop this product, and for this reason I’m out.” - Shark tank We can also use linkers to show reasons and causes: Because (of) (a causa de, debido a) / as / since / seeing that / on account of / due to (debido a) / due to the fact that (debido a que) / owing to / owing to the fact that As/Since/Because Craig loves Mickey Mouse (clause), he wants to visit Disney Land, Orlando. Because of Craig’s love for Mickey Mouse (noun phrase, not clause), he wants to visit Disney Land, Orlando. “Because of / on account of / owing to / due to our sponsor, italki we are able to continue with this podcast.” Compare: “We didn’t record podcasts yesterday due to* work.” “We didn’t record podcasts yesterday due to the fact that* we were both working.” (*also owing to and owing to the fact that) “As / Since / Seeing that we’re hungry, we should break for lunch now.” In order to = a more formal version of INFINITIVE / so as to Theses conjunctions explain the purpose of something. They are more common in written English. Reza and I started this podcast (in order) to help you improve your English. We started our Patreon program so as to be able to pay for full transcriptions for these podcasts (go to https://www.patreon.com/inglespodcast for more details) All the same (de todas formas, a pesar de todo) “They offered to pay me 30 euros per hour, but I turned down the job all the same.” We can use some linking words to show the order and sequence of things First of all / Firstly / To begin with / To start with / In the first place (en primer lugar, antes que nada) Second / Secondly (en segundo lugar) Third / Thirdly (en tercer lugar) After that / Then (después de eso, después) / Next (luego) Finally, Lastly (por fin, por último, finalmente) Last but not least (por último, si bien no menos importante) Linkers for summarizing In short / To sum up / In conclusion (en resumen, para concluir, resumir) All in all (en suma) In brief (en resumen) In short (en resumen) On the whole (en general) ...and now it's your turn to practise your English.

Audio message from Mamen: doubt and hesitate Doubt I doubt if we can help her. Why are you hesitating? Doubt = dudar “I doubt if we’ll be making a special Christmas podcast this year.” “I doubt that I’ll be eating turkey on Christmas day.” “Did you have doubts about the consistency of this podcast when we first started?” To doubt means to lack confidence in something; to disbelieve, question, or suspect. To hesitate means to stop or pause before making a decision or doing something. (dudar , vacilar) Expressions with doubt there is some doubt about it = sobre esto existen dudas beyond doubt = fuera de duda beyond all reasonable doubt = más allá de toda duda to cast doubt on = poner en duda to clear up sb's doubts = sacar a algn de dudas to have one's doubts about sth = tener sus dudas acerca de algo no doubt! = ¡sin duda! to throw doubt on = poner en duda without (a) doubt = sin duda (alguna) to hesitate to do sth = dudar en hacer algo “When I did a bungy jump, I hesitated before I jumped, but I had no doubt it was safe.” Don’t hesitate to contact us, send Reza an email. Don't hesitate to ask us = no vaciles en pedírnoslo, no dejes de pedírnoslo To hesitate before doing sth = dudar antes de hacer algo What do you hesitate before doing? Connected speech. Why do native English speakers connect their speech? We try to say the most we can in the shortest possible time. English is a stress-timed language. Spanish is a syllable-timed language. 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 1 and 2 and 3 and 4 1 and a 2 and a 3 and a 4 1 and then a 2 and then a 3 and then a 4 CATS CHASE MICE the CATS CHASE MICE the CATS CHASE the MICE the cats will CHASE the MICE the CATS will have CHASED the MICE "here and there" Do you pronounce the 'r' at the end of 'here' "more examples" "A doctor or a lawyer" "We never ever thought we'd love podcasting" "The biscuits are in the cupboard" “This is a better episode than last week’s.” Does the first word have to end in an ‘r’ sound, and the second begin with a vowel sound (like better and episode)? law and order (‘r’ sound) Pasta and cheese (‘r’ sound) Go away (‘w’ sound) No, I can’t (‘w’ sound) She isn’t there (‘y’ sound) Tea and biscuits (‘y’ sound) Consonant + vowel sound (link the sounds together when a consonant is followed by a vowel) I need it = I needit Say a word = saya word Read a text = reada text Consonant + consonant (if the consonant is the same sound, just pronounce it once) Big girl = bigirl Best teacher = besteacher Good day = gooday (or G’day if you’re Australian!)

Adverbial phrases Hi there! Welcome to another great lesson from New English Academy. I’m your host, Giles Parker and today we’re going to focus on how to be really efficient when you’re speaking, simply by shortening adverb clauses down to adverbial phrases. This lesson is aimed at advanced level students but don’t worry if you don’t think you’re advanced, have a go and see what you can pick up from it. The comprehension text is titled ‘Haiku: Doing more with less.’ First I’m going to talk about the grammar point. Then we’ll listen to the grammar in context in the comprehension text. Don’t forget, you can download the transcript and get access to the great online interactive games and tests for this lesson at our website, New English Academy.com. I guess the main point of all communication is for us to help the other guy to understand us. To help people understand us, it is a good idea to be really efficient. That means we should try to use fewer words but still show our meaning. One way of doing this is by shortening clauses to make shorter phrases that still say what we want to say, but with fewer words. Brilliant! And that, by the way, is also why our comprehension topic is Haiku poetry, because Haiku uses very few words to get a huge image across to the other guy. But more on Haiku in a bit. First, let me start by going over some basic grammar to refresh your memory. You know how adverbs give more information about the verb, like information about the time it happened, or the place it happened, or the way it happened? And you know how a clause is a group of words that has a subject and a verb?  We can see the when, where, how and why in a clause because adverb clauses use conjunctions, like after, or before, or since, or as, etc. Well, a phrase has the same meaning and power as a clause BUT is shorter because there isn’t an explicit subject or a proper verb. Instead a phrase has an implicit subject and a verb in the present or past participle form, that is, a verb ending in ‘ing’. An example of an adverb clause is: · When you are eating, it is polite to keep your mouth closed. Did you hear the adverb clause? It is “When you are eating…” This one talks about time. Now, let’s shorten it to make an adverb phrase: · When eating, it is polite to keep your mouth closed. There is no explicit subject now, so it becomes a phrase instead of a clause. Also did you hear how we took out the be verb too? That is another way to shorten clauses to phrases – drop the be verb if it is part of the main verb in the clause. OK, now how about this pair? · After he heard the forecast, he picked up his umbrella. · After hearing the forecast he picked up his umbrella. The adverb clause “After he heard the forecast…” is shortened to “After hearing the forecast…” What happened to the verb? It got changed from past simple to a present participle. So “After he heard” becomes “After hearing”.  To make phrases, change the verb into a participle. How about making negatives? Easy! Just put not or never before the participle. So for example: · After he hadn’t written to his girlfriend for several months he suddenly phoned her. Which becomes: · After not writing to his girlfriend for several months, he suddenly phoned her. So, generally, using fewer words to get your meaning across is what we want to aim for. But we can go even further and be really, really efficient by shortening adverb clauses all the way down to adverbial phrases. They have the same meaning and power but much fewer words. For example a sentence with an adverb clause; · While I was browsing in a bookshop, I met an old friend. Becomes · Browsing in a bookshop, I met an old friend. Or another example; · When she saw me, she smiled. Becomes · Seeing me, she smiled. Isn’t that brilliant? The same meaning, the same message, but much fewer words – that makes communication more efficient. What about the be verb? There are always problems with the be verb. OK, if an adverb clause has a form of the be verb in it, just change it to being. So, for example: · Because they were such good friends they hugged each other. Becomes: · Being such old friends, they hugged each other. For negatives, just put not or never in front of the participle being. OK, still with me? We’re on the home stretch now. What about for passive constructions? Can we reduce adverb clauses to make really efficient adverbial phrases in passive constructions? Yep, you bet we can! Just drop the conjunction, the subject and all the auxiliaries. So, for example: · Because it was built to look like a café, the bookshop attracted a variety of customers. Becomes: · Built to look like a café, the bookshop attracted a variety of customers. One set of conjunctions, those that talk about the reason something happens, for example, because, as and since get dropped like other conjunctions to give the same meaning. AND… when the clause has one of these conjunctions and a form of the be verb then the be verb gets changed to the participle, being in the adverbial phrase. This makes life so much less complicated, when you get the hang of of it. So, for example, a normal, boring sentence with an adverb clause says: · Because she was happy to see me, she ran across the shop. But drop the conjunction and the subject, change the be verb to being and we get: · Being happy to see me, she ran across the shop. So, to summarize, the rules for being really efficient in your communication by changing adverb clauses and shortening them to adverbial phrases are: 1. Make sure the original clauses both have the same subject. 2. Drop the subject pronoun in the adverb clause to make an adverb phrase. 3. Change the verb in the adverb clause into a present participle or past participle in the adverb phrase 4. Keep the conjunction if you really want to focus on time, manner or place. 5. But, drop the conjunction to make the adverb phrase even shorter, into a really efficient adverbial phrase. OK, thanks for hanging in there – I know this was a tough one. But, it is all about how we can use grammar to help people understand us. And shortening adverb clauses down to adverbial phrases is one really useful way to use fewer words to say the same thing. That is why our topic is a type of Japanese poetry called haiku, which gets a huge effect but with very few words. Maybe I should learn from it – how can I get ideas about grammar across to you in fewer words? Don’t forget, you can get more information and practice activities and tests for this lesson and others on the website, New English Academy.com. OK, now listen to the text and see if you can spot any adverbial phrases. Good luck! Comprehension Text - Haiku: Doing more with less Mon shime ni/ dete kiite oru/ kawazu kana – Coming out to close the gate; ah, frogs! The compact culture of Japan sometimes finds ways to do more with less. Here, in this little 17 sound poem or haiku a person steps out of their house on a warm summer’s evening, to shut the garden gate for the night. However she becomes mesmerized by the voices of frogs calling. For me, this little poem has a large effect.  I can feel the humidity of the evening. I know the quiet routine of closing the garden and yes, I can understand the pleasing, jarring shock of standing still at the gate, not closing it but instead focused on hearing the sounds of the night. I don’t know, but I think the poet is trying to tell me that she is happy to become aware of other things happening outside her routine. All this in just a little 17 sound haiku. Here’s another example: harusame ya/ kasa sashite miru/ ezoshiya – Spring rain. Beneath an umbrella, browsing, a picture bookshop. I get a sense of soft weather, but taking time to look at books you might want to buy that are displayed even underneath the awnings of a small, interesting bookshop. I also feel like this person is enjoying her solitude. What do you get from this haiku? I don’t know if it is the shortest poetry in the world, but it is certainly efficient. In two or three short phrases, haiku usually takes the poet’s subjective experience of a common or mundane sight, sound, sensation, etc and adds a contrasting image. This juxtaposition at first seems unconnected to the previous phrase but we are supposed to make a leap of intuition or imagination and make our own conclusion. Obviously this is easier to do with some haiku than others. Kakemeguru/ yume ya yake no no/ kaze no oto – Wandering dreams! Burnt fields, the sound of the wind. I feel strangely uncomfortable with this one. Wandering dreams makes me feel like I’m not in control of something, that the world round me is meaningless and insubstantial. Then the next image of the burned fields, like after harvest in autumn, says the world is black and smoky and dying. Add to this the sound of the wind over these fields and I have a definite impression of gloom and despair. Not a very happy poem at all.  Is the poet saying that life is hard and meaningless? Haiku poets know that their words cannot sufficiently convey the whole experience so they are often vague about the subject and the logical connections between the images and ideas. This makes the reader ask questions and fill in the gaps herself. Perhaps the poems are a bit like a picture that deliberately leaves out sharp or clear lines but forces the viewer to add colours and shapes herself. In this way, the poem becomes a combination of the poet’s writing and the reader’s imagination. This can become a starting point for the reader’s own meditation and reflections on the subject.   Let’s finish with a more cheerful haiku. Hototogisu/ kao no dasarenu/ kooshi kana – A cuckoo! Damn, I can’t get my head through the lattice! So here, the poet hears the distinctive call of a cuckoo. He wants to see it too, and tries to do this, but he can’t get his head through the wooden bars of the screen in the window to see it, and is frustrated. For me, this is so cute and amusing. Imagine a guy, perhaps an older man, struggling to get his head through a small gap in the window to see the little bird he has just heard. I know I have done silly things or have been frustrated about things, but this little haiku perhaps reminds us to have a sense of humour about our frustrations too.
