26.34 -> all the basics you need to know to start speaking English easily and correctly.

32.04 -> To speak English well we need to work on our grammar, vocabulary,

37.62 -> and pronunciation. In this video we will go over the basics of the English language,

43.5 -> everything you need to know to speak proper English. So, let's get started

49.86 -> The first thing we will go over is grammar

54.3 -> because learning the basic grammar rules is very important for speaking English. We need to learn

61.44 -> grammar because we want to speak without mistakes and we want people to understand what we say.

69.06 -> English grammar can be difficult, but don't worry, we'll keep it simple. We’ll talk about Parts of

76.68 -> speech in English, articles and TENSES First of all, you need to know parts of

83.52 -> speech and differentiate one thing from another. We have the 8 parts of speech,

90.12 -> but we’re gonna be talking about only 4 of them. • Nouns: A noun is a word used to name a person,

98.52 -> place, thing, or idea. For example, "a dog," "a city," "a book," and "happiness" are all nouns.

108.36 -> • Verbs: A verb is a word used to describe an action or state of being. For example,

117.06 -> "run," "sing," "be," and "have" are all verbs. • Adjectives: An adjective is a word used to

126.3 -> describe a noun or pronoun. For example, "big," "happy," "blue," and "fast" are all adjectives.

135.3 -> • Pronouns: A pronoun is a word that we use to replace a noun. For example,

142.92 -> "he," "she," "it," and "they" are all pronouns. Another important thing is learning

150.9 -> articles. I often get asked a question - Do we really need to use articles?

158.22 -> Yes, we do. Using articles is extremely important. We have the articles A/An and The.

167.04 -> We use a/an: The first time we mention or refer to a noun

174.12 -> Example: I bought a new dress yesterday! (First mention).

180.48 -> Can you believe the dress was 50% off!! (Second mention – now it is clear which dress:

189.36 -> the dress you bought yesterday.) We use the article “A/an” to name

196.38 -> a member of a group Jobs (I’m a teacher.)

201.78 -> Nationalities (He’s an American.) Religions (She’s a BUddhist.)

207.78 -> We use it when you also mean “one” Example: I had an ( =one) apple at breakfast.

217.08 -> We also use it in expressions like: A lot of, A little (bit) of, A ton of

225.42 -> The. We use the: With something that was

229.8 -> already mentioned as I told you before. When there is just one of something*

235.62 -> I’m going to the park. (There is only one park where I live.)

244.02 -> When we define a specific person, object or place.

248.88 -> I loved the ring my boyfriend gave me for my birthday. (Not just any ring, but specifically

256.68 -> the ring my boyfriend gave me for my birthday.) We use the article THE with things that are

264.18 -> unique (there is only one in the world). Everyone around the world knows about the

270.42 -> sun. We don’t have to explain the sun, so we always use the sun (not a sun).

274.56 -> For example, The sun, The solar system, The President of the U.S.

279.78 -> We use the: With ordinal numbers and superlatives - The first, the second, the third, The biggest,

289.08 -> the best, the fastest. With some proper nouns:

294.72 -> Rivers (the Amazon River, The Nile) Mountains Ranges (The Andes, The Alps)

304.2 -> Oceans (The Pacific Ocean) Now let’s talk about the situations

310.68 -> when you don’t need to use any articles. We don’t use articles with:

317.28 -> Uncountable nouns (unless referring to a specific example)

324.36 -> I love adding milk (uncountable) to my coffee (uncountable).

328.62 -> Milk and coffee are uncountable. We can’t say the milk unless we refer to a specific milk,

337.56 -> for example, the milk is expired. And we never say “a milk”

343.56 -> because milk is uncountable. We don’t use articles when we talk

348.96 -> about things in general (all things everywhere) I love watching birds! (All birds everywhere,

357.3 -> not just one specific bird.) We don’t use articles with Countries,

362.46 -> for example: I love Italy. He’s from India. Have you visited China?

369.54 -> We don’t use articles with Languages: French, Japanese, English

376.74 -> Meals – Breakfast, not a breakfast or the breakfast

383.16 -> We don’t use articles with People’s names and titles.

387.36 -> With possessives My bag …His dog …Your life… We don’t use articles with most cities,

396.42 -> towns, streets, and airports - New Delhi, Paris, Main Street.

403.38 -> It’s extremely important to use these rules in real life when you speak English.

408.96 -> Because if you don’t use the articles correctly, people may not understand you.

416.76 -> Now let’s move on to the next important part - Tenses

421.26 -> To speak fluently you should know how to use basic English tenses. English has many

428.22 -> verb tenses that are used to indicate the time frame in which an action is taking place. Here

435.72 -> are a few of the most basic tenses: • Present Simple: Used to describe

441.42 -> actions that happen regularly or are currently true. For example,

446.52 -> "I film videos every day." • Present Continuous:

450.84 -> Used to describe actions that are happening at the moment. For example, "I am filming a video now."

458.58 -> • Past Simple: Used to describe actions that have already happened.

464.7 -> For example, "I filmed a video yesterday." • Future Simple: Used to describe actions

472.02 -> that will happen in the future. For example, "I will film a video tomorrow."

477.72 -> So, to start speaking fluently you need to know these basic tenses.

767.04 -> I focus on standard American accent. • English is a stress-timed language,

773.16 -> which means that the stress or emphasis is placed on certain syllables in a word. For example,

780.9 -> in the word "important," the stress is on the second syllable "im-POR-tant."

787.2 -> (Here’s a video about syllable stress in detail) • The English alphabet has 26 letters, but they

797.46 -> can make different sounds. For example, the letter "a" can make the "ah" sound

803.1 -> as in "father" or the "ay" sound as in "say." The letters "th" can make two different sounds,

810.6 -> a voiced sound as in "the" and an unvoiced sound as in "think."

816.06 -> • The letter "r" is pronounced differently in American English and British English.

821.7 -> In British English, the "r" is not pronounced at the end of words,

826.56 -> while in American English it is pronounced. You can also watch my videos about the main

833.4 -> differences between American and British English.

836.652 -> I’m not a native English speaker and I’m still

840.84 -> working on improving my pronunciation. Here are a few tips on how to improve

846.84 -> your English pronunciation: Listen to native speakers:

850.5 -> One of the best ways to improve your pronunciation is to listen to native speakers. You can listen

858.12 -> to English-language music, podcasts, or watch English-language television shows or movies. Pay

866.16 -> attention to the rhythm and intonation of the language and try to imitate it when you speak.

879.42 -> help you improve your English pronunciation. This can include language-learning apps,

885.84 -> online tutorials, and language-learning programs. Many of these resources include

892.5 -> exercises and activities that are specifically designed to help you improve your pronunciation.

898.98 -> Record yourself speaking: Recording yourself speaking

903.96 -> can be a great way to identify areas of difficulty and to track your progress.

910.68 -> Once you have recorded yourself, listen to the recording and compare it to native

916.92 -> speakers. Pay attention to areas where your pronunciation differs and work on improving them.

924.66 -> Practice with a native speaker: If you have access to a native speaker,

929.64 -> consider working with them to improve your pronunciation. They can provide you with

936.48 -> feedback on your pronunciation and help you work on specific areas of difficulty.

942.84 -> Practice with a language exchange partner: If you can't find a teacher or tutor,

949.56 -> you can also try a language exchange partner. This is someone who also wants to learn your

956.82 -> native language, so you can practice speaking in English with each other.

961.02 -> Practice difficult sounds: English has many sounds that may be difficult for non-native speakers.

969.72 -> These include the "th" sound, the "r" sound, and the "l" sound. Practice
