00:00:31

Good afternoon, dear listeners.

00:00:34

Good afternoon and welcome back to another episode of Speak Up with

me, your host, Ruby.

00:00:43

Welcome to the second episode of this show.

00:00:46

Yesterday was the first one today.

00:00:48

It's the second one.

00:00:49

Thank you for tuning in.

00:00:52

It's a pleasure to know that you're listening and I'm very happy.

00:00:56

So thank you.

00:00:58

Today, the few things that I wanted to do today are, well, a few, you know,
grammar, vocabulary, we're going to do some common mistakes, the
same that we did yesterday, more or less.
00:01:11

Okay?

00:01:12

However, the first thing that I want to do is review a tiny little bit of the
things that we did yesterday.

00:01:19

A tiny little bit, okay?

00:01:22

So we're going to review to be married to, remember not with,

00:01:28

We're going to review to get married.

00:01:31

We're going to review a breakfast, but very quickly.

00:01:35

Okay, I'm going to just give you a few sentences and you are going to
answer them or rephrase them.

00:01:42

I'll let you know in a minute.

00:01:43

Okay?

00:01:44

We're going to also do for today the new things that we will learn today or
review.

00:01:51

For those of you that already know this, we're going to do either

00:01:57

Because why?

00:01:58

Why are we going to do either?

00:02:01
Can anyone guess?

00:02:03

Can anyone guess why today we will do either?

00:02:05

For those of you who know what it means, either is tampoco.

00:02:13

So yesterday we did tambien and today we will practice tampoco, right?

00:02:20

Okay, we will also do doing exercise vocabulary, vocabulary,

00:02:27

that involve like that.

00:02:29

You can use when you want to talk about exercise or exercising.

00:02:35

Remember, we did mention this yesterday as well.

00:02:37

Or also, we also mentioned this yesterday, or we mentioned this

yesterday too, right?

00:02:47

Then we're going to do a common mistake, which is near to that Spanish

speakers, I hear you say this a lot.

00:02:55

You say near to.

00:02:57

And I think this happened because you guys, you mix close to and near.

00:03:05

But near is always without to.

00:03:08

And close is always with to.

00:03:10

It goes with to.

00:03:12

So remember, near, close to.

00:03:14

If we have time, we'll also do far from.

00:03:18

Because another common mistake is that you say far of.

00:03:25

because in Spanish we say lejos de, right?

00:03:28

cerca de y lejos de.

00:03:31

That's why we add it in there, that's why we put it in there, but it's not
necessary, we say from, far from, okay?

00:03:39

Then I want to do an expression that you can see in your book, you can
see in your essential English book that we're using, right, that we used
yesterday, I'm going to use it today again to do the vocabulary, and this
expression

00:03:54

you can see and practice in the book, okay?

00:03:58

You can practice that in the book.

00:04:00

I believe it's like unit three or the third, yeah, unit three, I believe it is,
okay?

00:04:05

To be up four.

00:04:08
And as well, if we have time, we'll do a phrasal verb that I'll leave until the
end, okay?

00:04:13

If we have time, if I manage to go through everything that I want to go

through.

00:04:18

All right, so again, welcome to my show, thank you for being here.

00:04:23

And actually, I wanted to mention why we called it Speak Up.

00:04:29

I have to say, I have to give my father, I have to give him credit for this, le
tengo que dar como un poco de, como Las Gracias, no, I have to give him
credit for this because he came up with the name of the show and he said,
this is what he said.

00:04:45

So take his advice.

00:04:48

He said, well, it's obvious, right?

00:04:51

Because

00:04:52

Speak up.

00:04:53

You need to speak up when you speak English.

00:04:56

Spanish speakers are usually very embarrassed.

00:05:00

They're not confident enough, and so they need to lose perder.

00:05:06

They need to lose that embarrassment and speak up.

00:05:11

So, dear listeners, take my father's advice and speak up anything that you
learn today.

00:05:21

Say it, use it.

00:05:23

So this is my aim with this show.

00:05:25

The things that you learned today you can use straight away in your
conversations, colloquial conversations, formal conversations.

00:05:35

Sometimes the things that I'm going to practice will only be for more
colloquial conversations, right?

00:05:46

For example, to be up for.

00:05:48

You can use it formally, but in a meeting, maybe.

00:05:52

Maybe not so much.

00:05:52

We'll get into it a bit more in a few minutes, okay?

00:05:57

But very quickly, as I mentioned, we said that we were going to review,

well, I said, I said that we were going to review to be married, right?

00:06:06

We were going to review breakfast and a few things that we did

yesterday.

00:06:13

So, remember, what did we do yesterday?

00:06:15
I mean, how did we do this exercise?

00:06:17

No, I gave you two names and you had to say married two, for example.

00:06:22

Laura John and you said Laura is married to John.

00:06:27

And if I say with to get, you'd say Laura got married to John, which is in
the past, se caso con.

00:06:36

Alright, let's do the following one, the next one, Paul doctor.

00:06:44

Paul got married to the doctor.

00:06:47

Good, that would be se caso con in the past, right?

00:06:51

Paul got married to the doctor.

00:06:54

What about to be married?

00:06:58

Paul is married to the doctor.

00:07:02

Is married to the doctor.

00:07:04

Very good.

00:07:06

Rebecca, Javi.

00:07:11

Rebecca is married to Javi, very good.

00:07:16
Rebecca is married too.

00:07:18

Well done.

00:07:19

Let's say it in the past.

00:07:24

Rebecca got married to Harie.

00:07:27

Well done.

00:07:29

Rebecca got married to Harie.

00:07:31

Brilliant.

00:07:32

Also, guys, the other way around, Harie got married to Rebecca.

00:07:35

It's the same thing.

00:07:36

Well done.

00:07:37

Okay, let's do one more with married to.

00:07:40

He, his college girlfriend.

00:07:46

He is married to his college

00:07:51

girlfriend, well done.

00:07:53

He is married to his college girlfriend.

00:07:57

Now in the past, he got married, actually, it's not just the past, but it's the
Sekhasokon, no.

00:08:05

The past of that sentence that I just said, he is married to, would be he
was married to his college girlfriend, right?

00:08:15

So well done if you got it.

00:08:17

He was married to his college girlfriend.

00:08:20

That means, that does mean that they're no longer married.

00:08:27

That means that they probably got a divorce, unfortunately, or that they
separated, right?

00:08:36

So was married, estaba casado, quiere decir que ya no, but se casó con.

00:08:42

Él se casó con su amor del instituto, or su novia del instituto.

00:08:48

He got married

00:08:50

to his college girlfriend.

00:08:53

Very good.

00:08:53

Well done, guys.

00:08:55

Let's move on to breakfast.

00:08:57
So, I had breakfast today.

00:09:02

This morning, I had breakfast this morning.

00:09:05

Did you?

00:09:06

Did you have breakfast this morning?

00:09:11

Let me hear you say it.

00:09:12

Well, I wish I could, but I want you to say it, okay?

00:09:17

Good.

00:09:18

Yes, you can say, I would say to this, I, yes, I had breakfast this morning.

00:09:26

And funny story, I remembered yesterday's show because this morning I

went to the supermarket with a colleague of mine and we went to grab
something for breakfast.

00:09:44

We went to grab something for breakfast and I got

00:09:49

some biscuits.

00:09:51

I just got some biscuits and when he walked past afterwards, he walked
past my table, he said, oh Ruby, what a healthy breakfast.

00:10:04

He was being sarcastic, obviously, right?

00:10:06
Because we were talking about healthy is this healthy, I wanted to get
something that was more or less healthy, and I ended up getting biscuits,
I ended up acabe, I ended up

00:10:18

getting biscuits, acabe comprando, I ended up getting or buying biscuits.

00:10:24

And so as a joke, when he walked past my table, he said, "Oh, reby, what
a healthy breakfast?" And I said, "Oh, well, he's British, but if not, I
thought I would have thought, oh, he listened to my show yesterday.

00:10:40

Okay, well done.

00:10:41

Okay, let's put a sentence together.

00:10:44

Me breakfast tomorrow.

00:10:48

Put it together.

00:10:50

In the future, remember, tomorrow.

00:10:53

Good.

00:10:54

You, if you were telling me, you would say you, Ruby, will have breakfast
tomorrow.

00:11:02

What about me, healthy breakfast, tomorrow?

00:11:08

You, Ruby, you will have a healthy breakfast tomorrow.

00:11:15

Adding the A, yes, I will.

00:11:17

Today I had a not so healthy breakfast.

00:11:21

I will try to have more healthy breakfast tomorrow.

00:11:26

I will do that.

00:11:27

Now, did you guys have biscuits for breakfast too?

00:11:36

Did you guys have biscuits for breakfast too?

00:11:40

Answer with yes.

00:11:43

Yes, that would be.

00:11:44

I also had

00:11:47

biscuits for breakfast, you could say, right?

00:11:49

Using also yes, I also had biscuits for breakfast.

00:11:54

What about if we say it with as well?

00:11:58

Is lo decimos gone as well?

00:12:02

We would say, well done.

00:12:06

I, sorry, yes, I will have biscuits for breakfast as well.

00:12:12
Good and with two.

00:12:16

Yes,

00:12:17

I will have biscuits for breakfast too.

00:12:21

Well done, everybody.

00:12:23

Okay, this way we've reviewed what we did yesterday, or most of what we
did yesterday, and we can remember and use it immediately.

00:12:33

Tomorrow, when we're having breakfast, we can say, oh, I am having

breakfast without the A.

00:12:39

And you can say, I am having a very tasty breakfast, or not a very tasty
breakfast.

00:12:45

It depends, right?

00:12:47

Well done.

00:12:48

Okay guys, let's move on to today's activity is what I wanted to do or what

I want to do.

00:12:57

Let's do what I want to do for today.

00:12:59

I mentioned we wanted to do or I wanted to do.

00:13:02

I keep saying we.

00:13:03
Sorry, I wanted to do and I want to still do either.

00:13:08

Because yesterday we practiced and we've just reviewed how to say

también in various different ways.

00:13:15

So, I want to practice either.

00:13:18

Now, easy peasy.

00:13:21

We do it the same way as we would add it as we would add to and as well.

00:13:26

We put it at the end of the sentence.

00:13:29

At the end.

00:13:30

For example, I'm not French.

00:13:33

And you, the way that you would answer would be, I'm not French either.

00:13:42

Okay?

00:13:42

I'm not French either.

00:13:45

Good.

00:13:45

Let's do a few more of these.

00:13:46

I'll ask you a question and you will answer with a negative sentence
because that's what we're practicing.
00:13:53

Tampoco, right?

00:13:54

So answer a negative.

00:13:56

On to the next one.

00:13:58

I'm not from Germany.

00:14:01

And you?

00:14:05

I'm not from Germany either.

00:14:08

Very good.

00:14:09

Now, a short way to answer this question or any question like this

00:14:15

A short way to answer it, and this is maybe something that you guys are
thinking, you would probably be thinking my students actually, they say
Ruby, can I say me neither?

00:14:28

And the answer is yes.

00:14:30

You can say me neither, but you can only say it with me.

00:14:39

So look on yo, me neither.

00:14:42

Me neither.

00:14:44
Okay?

00:14:44

If you want to say "el tampoco" or "ella tampoco" or "ellos tampoco", you
would have to say the auxiliary.

00:14:54

So for example, if I say "I'm not from Germany" and you, or "and him" for
example, you would have to say "Neither is him" and you would have to
use the object pronoun.

00:15:13

remember them.

00:15:14

Neither is him.

00:15:17

I'm not from Germany.

00:15:19

And him?

00:15:19

No, neither is him.

00:15:22

Okay?

00:15:23

Let's keep practicing either.

00:15:25

All right, he is not happy or, more colloquially, right?

00:15:30

He's not happy.

00:15:31

Quicker.

00:15:32

He's not happy.

00:15:34

And her?

00:15:37

She's not happy either.

00:15:40

Well done.

00:15:41

She's not

00:15:43

Happy either.

00:15:46

We are not from Ireland.

00:15:49

We're not from Ireland.

00:15:52

And him?

00:15:55

He's not from Ireland either.

00:15:59

What if we want to use neither?

00:16:03

How would we say it?

00:16:06

We would say neither is him.

00:16:09

So I'm not from Ireland and him.

00:16:12

Neither is him.

00:16:14
Well done.

00:16:16

Alright, on to the next one.

00:16:18

That's not an egg.

00:16:22

That's not an egg.

00:16:24

Eso no is un huevo.

00:16:25

Remember that we are using an-a-n.

00:16:29

A-n, an.

00:16:32

Why?

00:16:32

Because egg starts with a vowel.

00:16:37

E, the vowel e.

00:16:39

So we say an egg.

00:16:42

We add the 'n' in there, okay?

00:16:44

So that's not an egg.

00:16:48

And this, this isn't an egg either.

00:16:54

Very good.
00:16:55

This isn't an egg either.

00:16:59

Okay, Japan isn't in the European Union.

00:17:05

And China?

00:17:08

China isn't

00:17:10

in the European Union either.

00:17:13

Very good.

00:17:16

She is not married or again with contractions.

00:17:21

She's with a contraction.

00:17:23

She's not married.

00:17:24

And him?

00:17:26

She's not married and him?

00:17:30

He's not married either.

00:17:32

Very good.

00:17:34

He's not married either.

00:17:36
What about using neither?

00:17:40

Neither is him.

00:17:43

She's not married and him.

00:17:45

Neither is him.

00:17:48

You might be thinking or you might be questioning, why can't I use neither
when I'm using the negative sentence?

00:17:59

I'm, for example, I'm not French neither.

00:18:03

That is incorrect.

00:18:04

Why?

00:18:05

Because we would be using a double negative.

00:18:09

And double negatives are incorrect.

00:18:12

The grammar is incorrect there.

00:18:14

So we have to use I'm not either or me neither.

00:18:22

I'm not either or me neither.

00:18:24

I'm not French and you I'm not French either or me neither in short or in
long.
00:18:35

Neither am I using the auxiliary.

00:18:38

Neither am I, and in short, me neither.

00:18:41

For example, I'm not from the USA.

00:18:45

And you, me neither.

00:18:48

Or, neither am I, very good.

00:18:52

We're not happy.

00:18:54

We're not happy.

00:18:57

Me neither.

00:18:59

Or, neither am I.

00:19:03

You could also say, and him?

00:19:04

Well, neither is him good.

00:19:08

She's not from Russia.

00:19:12

She's not from Russia, and them.

00:19:17

Neither are they.

00:19:19
We can't say they, neither.

00:19:21

Nope.

00:19:22

We can only use neither with me, me neither, or we can use neither using
an auxiliary to say it with the other people, for example, the second
person, she, he, it, he, neither is him.

00:19:37

neither is she and so on and so forth, okay?

00:19:41

Well done, we'll review this a little bit tomorrow, or today if we have some
time, okay?

00:19:48

Well done guys, this actually, I didn't mention, but this you can find in one
of the grammar sections in unit two from inglés desde zero, aprending
inglés desde zero, and it's 2.9, not either, okay?

00:20:05

You can see it there

00:20:07

and you can practice with translations.

00:20:09

There are some translations there that you can do.

00:20:12

Hay algunas traducciones que podéis hacer que están en el libro de

Aprende inglés desde cero, vale?

00:20:18

En el punto 2.9, la unidad 2.

00:20:22

Okay?

00:20:24
Alright, without further ado with this one, let's move on to the one and the
ones.

00:20:30

The one and the ones.

00:20:31

This is something that I personally find very interesting.

00:20:36

Es algo que me parece bastante interesante a mí.

00:20:40

It's something that I find interesting, because it's something that not a lot
of you know how to use, or at least the students that I have encountered.

00:20:55

The one and the ones.

00:20:56

The one es, por ejemplo, este, vamos a poner un ejemplo, en español y en
inglés.

00:21:02

Este bolígrafo es mío,

00:21:06

Pero ese no.

00:21:09

The sentence is este boli, bolígrafo.

00:21:12

This pen is mine, but that one isn't.

00:21:17

This pen is mine, but that one isn't, or this pen is mine, but that pen isn't.

00:21:22

Now, si quiero decir este, sin el boli, sin el sustantivo, este es mío, pero
ese no.

00:21:30
We would say, this one is mine,

00:21:35

but that one isn't este, iese no, este, this, iese, that and we would say this
one estamos especificando, we are specifying and we say this one is
mine, but that one isn't.

00:21:53

That one isn't.

00:21:57

Okay, so we use this usually or normally in order not to repeat the noun.

00:22:04

not to make it redundant.

00:22:06

Usamos esto igual que en español, supongo, omitimos el sustantivo para

no repetirlo, para que no se haga una frase repetitiva, no?

00:22:17

For example, the red pen is on the table and the black pen is on the floor.

00:22:25

I want you to rephrase this sentence using the one.

00:22:30

I'll repeat the sentence.

00:22:32

The red pen is

00:22:34

on the table and the black pen is on the floor.

00:22:44

Good, the red pen, we would say, the red one, we keep the adjective,
okay?

00:22:50

We omit the noun but we keep the adjective, omitimos el sustantivo pero
nos quedamos con el adjetivo.
00:22:58

The red one is on the table and the black one

00:23:04

is on the floor, en el suelo, encima de la mesa, en el suelo, the red one is

on the table, and the black one is on the floor.

00:23:15

Very good.

00:23:17

The big dog is on the chair, and the small dog is under the table, under
the table, debajo de la mesa.

00:23:31

En mi caso,

00:23:32

in mi casa, más bien, my small dog is usually under the sofa.

00:23:39

My big dog usually lays, lays se tumba, he lays on the sofa, and the small
dog lays under the sofa.

00:23:53

Okay, the pronunciation can be lay, to lay, or to lie, okay, tumbarse.

00:23:58

So, back to the sentence, the big dog.

00:24:02

is on the chair.

00:24:04

I said chair at the beginning, remember.

00:24:06

The big dog is on the chair and the small dog is under the table.

00:24:12

Let's rephrase with one.

00:24:16
The big one is on the chair and the small one is under the table.

00:24:25

Very good.

00:24:28

The long pencil is blue

00:24:32

and the short pencil is yellow.

00:24:37

The long pencil is blue and the short pencil is yellow.

00:24:41

Rephrase it with one.

00:24:44

The long one is blue and the short one is yellow.

00:24:50

Very good.

00:24:51

Remember, we don't omit the adjective only the noun.

00:24:55

Okay.

00:24:56

The old chair is next to the sofa

00:25:01

And the new chair is over there, allí, stop por ahí, over there.

00:25:07

The old chair is next to the sofa, and the new chair is over there.

00:25:14

The old one is next to the sofa, and the new one is over there.

00:25:23

Come ahí, por ahí.

00:25:25

Over there, the old chair is next to the sofa, and the new one is over
there, parece que les gusta más.

00:25:31

el viejo, no?

00:25:31

El sillón viejo, they prefer the old one.

00:25:36

Okay, guys, don't go anywhere.

00:25:37

We will keep practicing the one and the ones after the break.

00:25:42

So don't go anywhere, keep tuning in.

00:25:44

See you after the break?

00:26:13

break

00:30:35

Welcome back.

00:30:36

Welcome back to Speak Up with me, your host, Ruby.

00:30:42

Guys, where were we?

00:30:44

What were we doing?

00:30:45

We were doing a rephrasing exercise and we were practicing the one and
the ones.

00:30:52

I don't think we had gotten to the plural one yet, but it's basically the
same.

00:30:58

It's basically the same.

00:30:59

It's just that when the noun is

00:31:02

in plural, cuando the sustantivo está en plural, when the noun is in plural,
we just add the S.

00:31:08

Añadimos la essay, we add the S, okay?

00:31:10

That's basically the difference between the one and the ones, it's the
same.

00:31:15

Let's keep going.

00:31:16

The big apples are there and the green apples are here.

00:31:26

The big ones, this one is plural.

00:31:31

I hadn't even noticed.

00:31:33

The big ones are there and the green ones are here.

00:31:40

Well done.
00:31:42

The big ones are there and the green ones are here.

00:31:46

Very good.

00:31:48

The blue pencils are long and the red pencils are short.

00:31:58

The blue ones are long

00:32:01

and the red ones are short, very good, very good.

00:32:08

The small bags are cheap, but the big bags are expensive.

00:32:17

The small ones are cheap, barato, cheap, but the big ones are expensive.

00:32:27

Careful with the pronunciation of these

00:32:31

to adjectives, okay?

00:32:33

Cheap is not very difficult.

00:32:36

I don't have a lot of students who struggle with this cheap, but expensive,
yes, because for some reason, it's something that you guys struggle with
a lot.

00:32:48

The ex, saying the ex, you say expensive, or expensive, right?

00:32:53

But we say ex, expensive, and it's odd.

00:32:59
Because sometimes, just to catch you out, solo para un truquito que
tengo, I usually ask you, I say, "Pues a ver, si tú tienes una novia que ya
no es tu novia, o un novio que ya no es tu novio, ¿cómo le llamas?" "Mi ex,
mi ex mujer, o mi ex marido, o mi ex novio, what's the same?

00:33:20

You use the ex.

00:33:22

Pero instead of saying, "Ex, mi ex mujer", you say, "Expensive, ex

pensive".

00:33:29

expensive.

00:33:31

Very good.

00:33:33

The big telephone is cool, guy, but the small telephone is boring.

00:33:43

The big one is cool, but the small one is boring.

00:33:49

Very good.

00:33:50

Okay, last one.

00:33:52

The big table is useful, but

00:33:58

The small table is useless.

00:34:03

The big one is useful, but the small one is useless.

00:34:12

Had you guys ever heard these two words before, useful and useless?

00:34:19
Useful is util.

00:34:23

Util and useless is

00:34:26

lo contrario.

00:34:27

No útil, algo inútil.

00:34:30

Inútil, ¿no?

00:34:31

Useful, útil, and useless, inútil.

00:34:35

Think about it.

00:34:36

In order to remember this word para acordaros o para acordarse de esta

palabra, "useless less", ¿qué significa?

00:34:47

Menos.

00:34:48

Use less.

00:34:49

So, less es menos, use, uso, pues menos uso, pues inútil.

00:34:55

Pongámoslo que es lo mismo que inútil.

00:34:57

Pues "useless".

00:34:59

"Use full", "full", lleno y "use" utilidad o útil.

00:35:06
Pues lleno de utilidad.

00:35:08

"Use full", "full of use", lleno de utilidad.

00:35:14

And "useless", there is less use, tiene menos utilidad pero no significa que
tiene menos utilidad sino que es completamente inútil.

00:35:24

that doesn't have less use, but something that is useless is something
that you cannot use, okay?

00:35:32

Let's say the sentence one more time.

00:35:34

The big one is useful, but the small one is useless.

00:35:40

Well done, everybody.

00:35:43

What did we say we were going to do after grammar?

00:35:47

As you know, I don't know actually if I mentioned this yesterday, I think I

did.

00:35:53

I mentioned that I like grammar, and that's why we started with grammar.

00:35:57

So with grammar out of the way, we're going to do vocabulary.

00:36:03

Very good.

00:36:04

So the vocabulary, as I mentioned earlier, that we're going to do today is

an exercise vocabulary.

00:36:11
Let's say vocabulary that you can use when you talk about different types
of exercise or exercising.

00:36:18

So I'm gonna go through a few of them.

00:36:21

The first one,

00:36:22

Hacer ejercicio.

00:36:25

To do exercise.

00:36:27

We can also use exercise as a verb and say exercising.

00:36:34

Hacer ejercicio to do exercise or exercising.

00:36:38

We can use it as a verb as well.

00:36:41

Very good.

00:36:42

Ir a correr.

00:36:45

We say to go running.

00:36:49

We don't really say

00:36:51

method footing, to go footing to nothing, that's not something that we

use.

00:36:56

It's to go running very good, to go running or me voy a correr.

00:37:03

A colloquial way to say this is I am going for a run.

00:37:12

I am going for a run.

00:37:14

Voy a salir un poco a correr.

00:37:16

I'm going to go running or I'm going to go for

00:37:21

A run.

00:37:24

Yoga.

00:37:25

Pilates or aerobic.

00:37:29

We say to do yoga or pilates or aerobic.

00:37:33

To do.

00:37:34

To do.

00:37:35

We do it.

00:37:37

Good.

00:37:38

Con regularidad.

00:37:40

Oh no, para algunos.

00:37:42
Con regularidad.

00:37:43

Only for some, right?

00:37:45

Regularidad regularly.

00:37:48

Regularly.

00:37:50

Okay, estirar.

00:37:51

This one is important because if you don't do it, your whole body will hurt.

00:37:59

To stretch.

00:38:01

Stretch.

00:38:02

Estirar to stretch.

00:38:06

S at the beginning and C, H at the end.

00:38:09

Stretch.

00:38:11

Very good.

00:38:12

Ponerse en forma.

00:38:15

To get in shape.

00:38:18

Get in shape.
00:38:20

shape.

00:38:21

Good.

00:38:22

Mantenerse in forma.

00:38:25

And you are thinking now, 'to keep in shape?' Well, we would say 'to keep
fit'.

00:38:31

So, ponerse in forma to get in shape and mantenerse in forma to keep fit.

00:38:39

You can also say, para ponerse in forma, you can say, of course, to get fit,
to get fit, but it's not as as used or as useful.

00:38:49

It's not something that we use a lot as to get in shape, okay?

00:38:53

Right, let's practice this a little bit.

00:38:56

I'm going to give you a few words, and I want you to put them into a
sentence together.

00:39:01

You're going to build this sentence, and we're going to practice, we're
going to practice here, una vez por semana, dos veces, tres veces, and
that is once a week, once a week, or a month, or a day, or a year,

00:39:20

then we'd say twice, once, una vez, twice, those with this, and three
times.

00:39:28

You might hear people say thrice.

00:39:31
That is also used, but is not so common.

00:39:34

It's not as common as saying three times, literally, once, twice and three
times.

00:39:41

Okay, let's go.

00:39:42

Yo aerobic una vez por semana.

00:39:46

I want you to say I go to

00:39:50

Clase D, voy a clase D.

00:39:52

Say yo aerobic o yo digamos voy a clase de aerobic una vez a la semana.

00:40:00

I go to aerobics class once a week.

00:40:04

Very good.

00:40:05

Once a week.

00:40:06

I go to aerobics class once a week.

00:40:09

Good.

00:40:11

Jenny, yoga, once a week.

00:40:16

Vamos a poner do.

00:40:18
want to do.

00:40:22

Jenny does yoga once a week very good.

00:40:27

Jenny does yoga once a week.

00:40:32

Pam and Jake, Pam and Jake pilates dos veces a la semana.

00:40:39

Pam and Jake do pilates twice a week very good.

00:40:46

They do pilates twice

00:40:48

a week.

00:40:50

Very good.

00:40:52

Nosotros yoga tres veces a la semana.

00:40:58

We do yoga three times a week.

00:41:04

Very good.

00:41:05

We do yoga three times a week.

00:41:08

And if we say "voy a clase D" We go to yoga class three

00:41:18

times a week.

00:41:19

Very good.
00:41:20

We go to yoga class three times a week.

00:41:27

Mat aerobic cuatro veces a la semana.

00:41:33

Mat aerobic cuatro veces a la semana.

00:41:35

Vamos a hacerlo con DO.

00:41:37

Let's do it with DO.

00:41:39

Mat does aerobics four times per week.

00:41:48

Now, you can say four times a week or four times per week, okay?

00:41:55

A lot of students ask me this because I usually say a week, but you can
also say per week.

00:42:03

A lot of students ask a week, but you can say a week or per week, okay?

00:42:08

Let's do some sentences to practice this.

00:42:11

Let's do some translations, as I love them, we're going to do, some.

00:42:17

I'm going to say actually some sentences in Spanish and you're going to
translate them into English, okay?

00:42:25

Very good, let's go! I hago yoga una vez a la semana.

00:42:31
I do yoga once a week.

00:42:35

Very good.

00:42:36

Tú haces pilates dos veces a la semana.

00:42:41

You do pilates twice a week.

00:42:46

Very good.

00:42:49

Ella hace ejercicio tres veces a la semana.

00:42:56

Ella, tercera persona.

00:43:01

She does exercise three times a week, very good.

00:43:08

And if we change exercise to a verb, how do we say it?

00:43:17

She

00:43:17

exercises very good.

00:43:20

We put the verb in the third person.

00:43:23

She exercises three times a week, very good.

00:43:30

Ellos hacen yoga con regularidad.

00:43:34

This one's a piece of cake, right?

00:43:37

This one is easy, it's a piece of cake.

00:43:40

They do yoga regularly.

00:43:45

They do yoga regularly, very good.

00:43:50

Él va a correr tres veces a la semana.

00:43:55

He goes running three times a week.

00:44:01

And he, what's the other way of saying to go running?

00:44:08

He goes for a run three times a week, very good.

00:44:14

Ella

00:44:14

Quiere mantenerse en forma.

00:44:18

She wants to keep fit.

00:44:22

She wants to keep fit.

00:44:23

Very good.

00:44:26

¿Cómo me pongo en forma?

00:44:31

How do I get in shape?

00:44:35
How do I get in shape?

00:44:38

Very good.

00:44:38

¿Cómo me pongo en forma?

00:44:40

How do I get in shape?

00:44:42

Very good.

00:44:43

Let's do one more.

00:44:44

One last one, we're going to do one more.

00:44:49

Siempre estiro antes de ir a correr.

00:44:55

Siempre estiro antes de ir a correr.

00:44:59

I always stretch before running.

00:45:06

We can also say I always stretch before I go running or

00:45:14

before I go for a run, remember?

00:45:17

I always stretch before I go running or go for a run.

00:45:23

Very good, guys.

00:45:25

Now, when you go to your next yoga class, you can try to say it in English.
00:45:32

Well done.

00:45:34

Okay, next step, we were going to do a common mistake.

00:45:38

The one that I wanted to do was near, right?

00:45:42

Because

00:45:43

As I mentioned earlier, a lot of you say near to, but we don't use that.

00:45:47

We just say near, a secas.

00:45:50

We just say near, scene to, okay?

00:45:53

So in order to practice this, I have put two words together and you're
going to say this sentence, the same as earlier, okay?

00:46:04

We're also going to practice, actually, far from, because that's another
mistake that you guys do, you sometimes say,

00:46:12

Far of, but we don't need that.

00:46:14

Far from.

00:46:15

So remember, near and far from.

00:46:19

Very good.

00:46:20
Okay, I'm going to say, Toledo, Madrid.

00:46:25

Guys, is Toledo near Madrid?

00:46:28

Toledo, Madrid.

00:46:29

You're going to say, Toledo is near Madrid.

00:46:35

What if I say, use close to?

00:46:40

Osad, close to.

00:46:42

You would say Toledo is close to Madrid.

00:46:49

Good 'close to' means the same as near, the exact same.

00:46:55

There is no difference in meaning.

00:46:57

The only difference is that near goes on its own and close is followed by
two.

00:47:05

Toledo is near Madrid and Toledo is close to Madrid.

00:47:10

Well done.

00:47:12

Almería, Madrid I say lo digo uno con acento español y el otro con acento
inglés Almería, Madrid Almería, Madrid Almería is far from Madrid, very
good Far from Madrid My house, the supermarket My house is

00:47:39

near the supermarket.

00:47:43

What about your house?

00:47:45

If your house is far, you would say, my house is actually, in realidad is

actually, my house is actually far from the supermarket.

00:47:57

Very good.

00:47:59

The park, the pharmacy.

00:48:02

Let's use far from.

00:48:04

The park is far from the

00:48:09

Pharmacy.

00:48:11

Very good.

00:48:13

Cuzco, Metro Station, Nuevos Ministerios, Metro Station.

00:48:21

Cuzco, Metro Station, or Cuzco's Metro Station, is near Nuevos Ministerios,

Metro Station.

00:48:32

Nuevos Ministerios, you can also say Metro Station.

00:48:37

Cuzco,

00:48:38

metro station is near Noros Misterios metro station.

00:48:42
Sometimes I'm saying it with an S because I would be using the third
person, and sometimes I'm using it as a name, and I'm not using the S,
okay?

00:48:52

My house, my mom's house, far, let's say it's far.

00:48:59

My house is far from my mom's house, very good.

00:49:04

Last one, one more, before we move on to

00:49:08

to be up for.

00:49:10

Okay, last sentence to practice far from.

00:49:12

The office I work in and the office my friend works in.

00:49:21

Far, let's say it's far away.

00:49:23

The office I work in is far from the office my friend works in.

00:49:32

Very good.

00:49:33

What if I want to say, easy quiero decir que está cerca?

00:49:38

Let's use near.

00:49:40

The office I work in is near the office my friend works in.

00:49:47

That's very lucky.

00:49:48

Let's use close to.

00:49:50

The office I work in is close to the office my friend works in.

00:49:58

Very good.

00:50:00

Very, very good guys.

00:50:01

Near, far from and close to.

00:50:06

Now

00:50:06

I don't want to hear that to mistake anymore, okay?

00:50:11

For those of you who've heard this show near, far from, and close to, well
done guys.

00:50:20

Last but not least, I have a few more things, but I'm not sure that we will
have time.

00:50:25

I have a few more things to do.

00:50:28

I'm not sure that we will have time, so.

00:50:31

The one that is next is to be up for, okay?

00:50:36

"To be up for" is like an expression that we use to say, como, digamos,

how would we say this?

00:50:44
For example, would you like, te apetecería, no?

00:50:49

Te apuntas a, digamos.

00:50:51

That one's a good one.

00:50:53

To be up for is, ¿Te apuntas a venir al parque?

00:50:58

Are you up for coming to the park?

00:51:02

Are you up for coming to the park?

00:51:05

Te apetecería venir?

00:51:06

Te apuntas a venir?

00:51:07

Are you up for it?

00:51:09

It's como, te apetece?

00:51:11

Te vienes, right?

00:51:12

It's like a good way.

00:51:14

It's a good way to invite someone to do something with you, right?

00:51:19

Instead of saying, would you like to come with me to the park, which is
very good, you can say, hey, are you up for coming to the park with me?

00:51:27
And that's a great way to ask someone to go somewhere with you or to do
something with you.

00:51:33

Okay, so,

00:51:35

I'm going to ask you a question using want to, and you're going to change
this with to be up for.

00:51:46

Okay, we use to be up for plus a noun, and when we use a verb, I'm sure
you know this, I am sure you know this, that when we use a verb, we have
to put it in the ing, okay?

00:52:03

ing, the gerund, the gerundi, okay?

00:52:06

Alright, let's go.

00:52:07

I'm going to ask a question.

00:52:08

We're going to, I'm going to ask it with one, two, and you're going to
rephrase with to be up for.

00:52:13

Okay, I'm going to give you an example before we start.

00:52:17

Do you want to, for example, Ruby, do you want to go to the movies
tonight?

00:52:25

The rephrasing, when we rephrase it, we would say Ruby, are you up for,
are you up for going

00:52:35

to the movies tonight.

00:52:38
Going to the movies, guys, this is like going to the cinema.

00:52:42

No sé por qué, I don't know why, in English, a lot of the times we say
going to the movies instead of going to the cinema.

00:52:50
