Let's Learn English! Topic: Confusing Word Pairs 🍰🏜️ (Lesson Only)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 4 июл 2024
- Are there some English words that you get confused about? Do they look or sound like another English word? In this English class I'll teach you about word pairs that can be confusing. As you learn English it is easy to get confused between certain pairs of words when you hear them or read them, like suit and suite, or can and can't. Some are pronounced the same way, others look very similar but have a very different meaning and pronunciation. At times you may find you accidentally use the wrong one!
In this free English lesson I'll help you learn the difference between a few confusing word pairs in English, and how to distinguish between them when it comes to pronunciation, meaning, and usage.
I'll go over word pairs that have very similar pronunciations. I'll go over word pairs that have specific rules for usage, and I'll go over word pairs that are easy to define, but their usage can be a bit strange.
I hope you enjoy this English lesson about confusing word pairs!
✅ Here is a Quizlet set to help practice the lesson: quizlet.com/602306397/learn

⌛ Remember: Always watch the video three times. Twice today with English subtitles on, and once tomorrow with the English subtitles off. This will reinforce the English you have learned!

Hi Bob. I hope you and your family are doing well. When I watch one of your videos I always learn something. Other channels often explain more sophisticated grammar or advanced idioms, which is interesting too. But I absolutely need and realise we students need basic vocabulary and everyday idioms. I was longing for it. You're doing great stuff. Keep in the good work. Greetings from Spain.
Hi Bob, I like this lesson, thanks
Thank you teacher Bob. ❤🙂
I always watch all the lesson!!

Hello Bob! The best lesson and very useful! Thanks a lot!

Hi! I would like to say, that you have come very far in your studies of English. I am not Bob, but I can help you.
Homograph
Homo = 2 or more things, which are the same or very similar.
Graph = Words (in this example)
Homograph = 2 or more words, that look the same.
Homophone (you said Homoform)
Homo = 2 or more things, which are the same or very similar.
Phone = sounds.
Homophone = 2 or more words, that share the same sound.
In English, the word for a "fresh sea fish" is not called a "base", but is called a "bass", with 2 s's
You had forgotten to make the word "novel", plural. "I read a lot of novels", you make it plural because the word "a lot" means more than one.
Thank you *Uncle Nathanael*
Happy Father's Day
Nice work! 😎🎂🛌
I'm Dancing dancing dancing. I'm doing boogie woodie dance, I have got *"Nicework"* remarks by Teacher.

Hi Gaurav. I think "shape" and "shadow" are neither homographs nor homophones, according to your definition. Feel free to correct me, if necessary. Greetings.

(Yes, words as WORLD and GIRL are difficult clusters some students can’t pronounce. 😓)
25:57 Les freins (freiner) / casser
27:05 donner / prendre
29:27 il a passé / le passé
Fini… (End of part 2) 😅

Thanks for the French lesson Francisco! 😎🎂🛌
I dunno whether the most unna agree but Canadian, English and Australian English is golden when it comes to listening;comparing to American English.
In French 😊🇫🇷.
4:33 Un costume et une suite. (A sweet suite 😅👍)
3:08 Écouter et entendre.
2:22 Les “ombres chinoises”6:33 Un dessert 🍨/ Un désert 🌵 😊🇫🇷. There’s “un coussin / un cousin” very similar too 😅.
7:27 Accepter (opposite of “refuser”) / Excepté (from “exception”).
8:59 Emprunter / Prêter.
10:29 Un collier / une couleur.
What’s the collar’s color? 😊
11:56 Respirer / la respiration
End of part 1. Voilà… 😃
Voilà… 😁
Awesome! 😎🎂🛌
Oui ce vrai..
What is important in pairs like _averse/adverse_ or _dessert/desert_ is the correct stress (accent). It often helps memorize the meaning. So the advice that I could give to others would be not to focus on spelling only. As far as _sensitive_ and _sensible_ go, they have at least two more counterparts: sensical and sensuous. As if life weren't complicated enough :)
I have been watching you since you had only 100 thousand subscribers and now I would like to say congratulations for having 700 cause you deserve to be popular and you are the best 😍
Ohh Teacher this video was awesome, I loved it. I love your channel. Um enorme abraço para vc e sua família 👏🏼👏🏼💐♥️😙
I really wish I could give you an actual present but this is what I can do for now. Consider this comment my present to you. Happy Father’s Day, awesome father & teacher! I hope you have a good time with your family on this day.
Thanks Mohd! I had a great day. Right now I'm just ending the night by catching up on some comments. 😎🎂🛌
Hi dear teacher! I am listening to the lesson right now and I can hear you well!🍰🏜️
Better late than never! 😎🎂🛌 I think I said that last week didn't I?
Woow! Now I really understand these words. Thanks a lot man . Clearly like bottle of water...
My mother tongue is Mandarin. I taught myself a good trick for memorizing and distinguishing "desert" vs "dessert". Water in Chinese is called "Shui", so I take the capital "S" apply to "desert" vs "dessert", because desert is dry and should have less water(shui). Therefore which ever has less "S" means desert. lol
Love you Bob!
Very nice explanation! Do Compliment and Complement have the same pronunciation? Thx
I loved this class, but different and difference is very confusing.
Ma e come el italiano.
Yes and I'm not sure I explained it well. Here are a few example sentences. My brother and I are very different. The difference is that he is taller and better-looking. Hopefully those two example sentences help you more! 😎🎂🛌
@@LearnEnglishwithBobtheCanadian thank you very much.
Thanks Bob! Why you don't said nothing about 3, tree, and free ?😉
I should have done that and I will add that to my list so that when I do part two of this lesson I will talk about those. Thanks for the idea! 😎🎂🛌
Listening is a process, hearing is a fact:)
Very nice lesson, but I couldn't catch and got confused on real meaning of adverse & averse.
Just think of it this way. When the weather is bad we say it is adverse weather. Weather that is unfavorable. Weather that is not nice. When we are averse to something it means we don't want to do it or we don't like it. I am averse to people smoking in my car. I don't want them to smoke in my car! I am averse to it! 😎🎂🛌
@@LearnEnglishwithBobtheCanadian Thanks sir.
By the way, I write word by word from the video, so I have now a transcript in English subtitles!
What is the difference and usage of accept and receive?
Hi Bob, Can you tell me which sentence is correct? 1. I went through the previous technicians' notes on the customer's profile. 2. I went through the notes that the previous technicians left on the customer's profile.
Hi mr. Bob, can you show your farm? I'm interesting what the flowers you have?🙂
Just go to the other channel with the short lessons, there is always a piece of the farm at the end and he's often talking about the recent flowers.
By the way, you risk to pick up some English there!
@@spoede64 thank you very much for the advice! Have a nice day 😊
@@mykhailotarasovych1122 It's my pleasure.
Yes Roland is correct. If you search RUclips for "Bob's short English Lessons" you will find my other channel. At the end of each lesson for the last minute I usually walk with the camera and you can see a lot more of the farm behind me! In addition if you search RUclips for "Bob the Canadian Farm" you will find a couple other videos from past years about the farm.😎🎂🛌
@@LearnEnglishwithBobtheCanadian Thank you)
👍
12:42 « In Hell » ??? 😈
« Excel » ??? 😂👍
Yes it does sound like that doesn't it. I'm actually saying inhale and exhale! 😎🎂🛌
Actually it’s super duper tricky because in French we say that a sensitive person is sensible!
It's the same in German: sensibel means sensitive, vernünftig means sensible...
We call them "false friends", I am going to create my personal list of this missleading similarities.
Mat I feel like you've read my mind. Tomorrow's lesson on my small channel is about the term super duper! 😎🎂🛌 How did you know?
What about by, buy, bye.
I will add those to the list for part two of this lesson which I'll do in a few weeks! 😎🎂🛌
hear and here
The rich stay rich by spending like the poor and investing without stopping then the poor stay poor by spending like the rich yet not investing like the rich
Rich man's wealth increase, poor mens number increase as well...
There is some truth to what you say! 😎🎂🛌
