do-do-do-do-do to do
Oh are we on yes I think so
oh my goodness I can't believe it here
we are again we are back once more live
on YouTube yes it is Wednesday it is
English addict live from the birthplace
of English which just happens to be
England
yes we are live once more just to prove
that we are live first of all you can
see my lovely clock here it is now
saying five minutes past two o'clock on
a Wednesday also the other reason why I
can prove its live because there was a
giant bee flying around my head so
excuse me whilst I try to get this bee
out of my gazebo or else for the rest of
this livestream it will be buzzing
around my head in a very annoying way
come on mr. bumble bee not over there
now we've had this conversation before
haven't we
you can't get out over there you have to
go this way come on mr. bumble bee stop
being a silly sausage this way so here
we are again live as live can be just to
prove it I am being harassed harassed by a
bumblebee the word harass
if you harass someone or harass harass
harass so there are two ways of
pronouncing that word but both of them
are actually correct harass or harass it
means you are bothering someone quite
often in a very aggressive way so to be
haressed by someone a person is picking
on you they are bothering you quite
often in a very aggressive way
just like the bumble bee above my head
flying around at the moment harrassing
me although to be fair I don't think it
is actually harrassing me what's
happening there is it's got into my
gazebo and now it can't get out so it is
stuck inside my gazebo which isn't very
good really when you think about it now
it
not you are right hello everyone on the
live chat nice to see you here today
what a morning what a crazy morning I
don't know why I ended up having no time
to prepare today's livestream time
seemed to go by so quickly I still can't
believe that I managed to make it here
on time I really can't believe it
anyway we are all here together hello
everyone and also there was a spider
look can you see there is a little
spider hanging there it is I will try to
share it to you get my mr. spider don't
be shy can you see this the spider there
are animals and insects all around me
today I am surrounded by nature you may
notice that I have a lot of things going
on around me today for which I apologize
some of the things are planned and some
of them might not be planned at all so
the live chat is working good hello -
Annie Vitesse Konstantin also Martha in
Poland nice to see you all here today
because you are first on today's live chat
I've had a lot of messages saying mr.
Duncan and we love it when you say ooh
la la la do you mean like that
so welcome for those who don't know who
I am
my name is mr. Duncan that is what they
call me
my mother on the other hand calls me
many other things most of those things I
cannot say here on YouTube unfortunately
but most people know me as mr. Duncan
there you can see down below my name and
I've been teaching English which just
happens to be my game and I've been
doing this for such a long time how many
years mr. Duncan have you been doing
this for nearly 14 years can you believe
it you would have thought by now I would
have found a proper job when you think
about it so here we go it is mr. Duncan
and also the live chat yes you are very
welcome to join in today
what is today what is it what day is it
mr. Duncan I will tell you right now
today is Wednesday
I hope you are feeling good today I am
feeling quite good not too bad thank you
very much I can't complain to be honest
I can't really complain about myself
because everything is not too bad I'm
feeling ok my hay fever today is not too
bad either
I feel quite I want to say energetic
even though at the moment I feel tired
is that possible is it possible to feel
energetic and also tired at the same
time as we sometimes say in English the
mind is willing but the body is not that
means you have lots of ideas lots of
things you want to do in your mind
however your brain is saying one thing
and your body is saying the opposite so
I have a lot of energy
I suppose appear but my body is feeling
a little bit tired I don't know why
maybe it's the weather maybe it's the
time of year who knows anyway the good
news is I'm outside once again we have a
lovely day actually the weather is quite
nice shall we have a little look into
the distance there it is over there
look at that we have quite a nice day I
will be honest the weather is looking
not too bad today you can see into the
distance there is a lot going on a lot
of things happening in the distance we
have the farmer who is very busy at the
moment in his field with his rapeseed
there is lots of yellow in the distance
which you might notice as well so lots
of things are going on around here
it is the countryside after all mr.
Duncan
of course things are happening it's the
countryside a very busy time of year
some of the farmers are preparing to
plant their crops others are already
growing theirs so quite a mixture to be
honest with you hello - Vinicius hello
Joe hello and a Coby and a pika is here
as well nice to see you here as well I
had a complaint yesterday someone left a
complaint on my comments saying mr.
Duncan why do you always waste time why
do you always waste time at the start of
the livestream saying hello to people
well I will tell you why I do that is
because it's because it's friendly and
polite if people are joining you on your
livestream they are giving up their time
to watch you sometimes you have to be
polite and say hello so that's what I
like to do at the start of my livestream
if you don't like it if you don't like
it you can just clear off what I can't
believe I just said that but you know
what I mean sometimes it's nice to be
polite there's nothing wrong with it
it's not against the law you are allowed
to be polite it is all right trust me
hello also to know where me you see
I'm saying hello to some more people now

distracted today by by Nature yes there

I don't know if you can but they are
being rather annoying today the spiders
are everywhere I did a lesson on one of
my live streams where I talk all about
telling the time about I think about two
weeks ago do you remember anyway to give
you a brief refresh so as you can see at
the moment it is now 16 minutes 16
minutes past 2:00 o'clock so here in the
UK at the moment it is actually 16
nearly 17 minutes past two o'clock on a
Wednesday afternoon that is the time
right now where I am I don't know where
you are so I'm not sure what time it is
where you are in the world I'm sorry
about that we have lots of things to
come can I just say if you want to have
some live subtitles you can isn't it
amazing
you are actually
able to have live captions all you have
to do is press this on your keyboard
press C on your keyboard just take your
finger and press C and you will have
live captions it's amazing and also for
those who are watching on their mobile
phones you can also get captions right
up there as well so all you have to do
is go to your settings up there if you
are watching on a mobile device you have
to go up there and all you have to do
then is activate the captions it's as
simple as that all you have to do is
activate the camera activate the
captions on the livestream that's all
you have to do it is it's so simple so
all you have to do is go up there and

like your lessons very much you are so
nice thank you that's very kind of you
to say some other people don't think
that they think that I am irritating and
sometimes maybe annoying I don't know
why how could you how could you hate
this we might have a little dance later
on would you like to have a dance now we
have a new piece of music that lots of
people have gone absolutely crazy about
so a little bit later we will be having
a little dance to a to a very fun piece
of music and I hope you will be joining
in as well where you are Marina I'm
saying hello to Marina also Paulo can
you explain the difference between
captions and subtitles they are the same
captions subtitles so captions are any
types of text that appears on the screen
for example
this is a caption so there it is
a caption caption you can see that there
is something on the screen that you can
read so we use the word caption to mean
anything that appears on the screen
captions they are things that are
appearing in the form of text on the
screen
subtitles are when small sentences that
appear on the screen that are telling
you or giving you an indication of what
is being said at that moment that's it
really that's it so captions and
subtitles oh the same thing I wish I had
my echo the problem is I can't have my
echo outside
I miss my echo very much maybe one day I
can have my echo outside and then I can
sing lots and lots of lovely songs to
you but at the moment sadly we can't so
I hope that answers your question the
difference between subtitles and
captions they are basically the same
thing basically the same thing
Pradeep says I like to see you dancing
well a little bit later on I hope we
will all be dancing together keeping
ourselves active during this crazy
lockdown period by the way talking of
which I don't want to talk about it too
much today because we are having an
English addict
today you see today today you see it is
English addict today but it looks as if
everything here in the UK will continue
to be like this for quite a while to
come so it is supposed to be coming to
an end this week however it looks as if
it is not it looks as if all of this
will be carrying on and continuing for a
very long time to come
franceska
is Here I am trying my best to rescue
all of the insects in my gazebo what I
think has happened this is my theory I
have a theory of what is happening in my
gazebo I think during the night
lots of insects come in here too to
shelter from the cold so the insects
will all come in here there are flies
lots of spiders as well it looks as if
many spiders have come into my gazebo -
to find warmth and shelter
unfortunately now they have all become
active and they are crawling around
everywhere
so that is what is happening Christine
says I have difficulty I have a problem
with my internet I'm sorry to hear that
mr. Duncan is it correct to say do you
have the time to ask someone about what
time it is do you have the time yes you
can ask that question if you want to
know what time it is
you can ask do you have the time do you
have the time or maybe you can ask do
you have the time on you do you have the
time on you and as you can see I have
the time on my wrist so we can ask what
time it is in many ways excuse me do you
happen to have the correct time do you
know what time it is
excuse me please would you mind telling
me what time it is do you have the time
on you do you have the time of course
that particular sentence can be used in
other ways as well you can say do you
have the time do you have some spare
time do you have free time so there are
other ways of using that as well you see
many other ways as well hello Jamelia
hello also Rakesh mr. Duncan I am sad
nowadays because in my country a lot of
people are sick from you know what we
cannot handle all of these problems if
you have any advice please tell me I
know a lot of people at the moment are
well they are feeling slightly anxious
they have had enough of this
as we are now entering our 8th week I
think it is some people said it was 7
weeks but I think now this is our 8th
week so I think this is week 8 of the
lockdown here in the UK but yes it is
hard sometimes spending time on your own
or even with another person can be very
stressful it can be difficult if you are
spending time with another person
especially if you don't normally spend
much time with them you see so it can be
a problem if you are spending time with
someone and you don't normally spend
much time with them it can cause a few
difficulties maybe a little bit of
strain here in there hello mr. Duncan a
few days ago I listened to the song is
this the way to Amarillo by Toni
Christie it really cheered me up yes it
is a fun song is this the way to do do
do do do do do do I don't know all of
the words I'm afraid but yes it is a it
is a very fun song a very fun song it's
also a very old song as well very old
going back many years
Cory says the insects all come to your
house because they feel comfortable they
feel well in your house they feel safe
maybe perhaps I'm not sure about that
hello - Valerie hello - Lina Lina nice
to see you back here again as well a
device a device every morning you greet
me small and white clean and bright you
look happy to meet me I really do wish I
had my echo
if Mohammad says I was once accidentally
stabbed with a knife in my fit that
doesn't sound very pleasant to me one of
the worst things I ever did to my feet
one of the worst things ever
I once stepped on a nail a metal nail
that was sticking out of a piece of wood
and my foot went onto the nail and
needless to say needless to say it was
very painful it was incredibly painful
in fact the word I want to use is
excruciating the pain was excruciating
what an interesting word there if
something feels excruciating it means it
is so painful it is agony it is
something that you can't stand it is
excruciating a great word there Dorota
mr. Duncan and there is a specific
community that exists because of your
streaming it is fantastic yes thank you
very much
yes thank you for your vote of support
and confidence there thanks a lot
why do you always wear a hat my moosh
the hat is something that is me it is
part of my character I love wearing hats
I'm crazy about hats so that's the
reason why I hope it answers your
question
hello Noemi hello also marina again oh
we have mica mica says in Japan they say
that a spider you see in the morning is
a good sign for you but a spider that
you see in the evening is not good for
you
the only spiders I see at night are huge
spiders big spiders can you hear my
voice is going again my voice was so
well yesterday and now it's starting to
go wrong again it's not fair
hello to Roxy
hello also Mohammed Suleiman hello also
oh I am here for the first time says
Mohammed Suleiman really thank you very
much for joining me thank you for giving
me some of your time
let's have a look at the time again
because I am going to mention what time
it is for those who want me to talk
about expressing time in English so
let's have a look at the clock again
shall we yeah this is something
different so there is the clock and as
you can see it is now 232 232 it is just
after half past two in fact it is 232
that is the time right now here in the
UK so it is just after half past two
which means there are 28 minutes left
before 3 o'clock so there is my little
clock I will show you the clock today
just to prove that we are live some
people don't believe me some people
think that this is recorded now
sometimes we do use recorded things
recorded pieces of video in the
livestream and that allows me to have a
little break to rest my voice it also
gives you a chance to chat to each other
as well on the livestream so that's the
reason why Adrian Adrian floorman do you
have any lady birds in your garden at
the moment there are very few lady Birds
I have a feeling at this time of year
they are out and about flying around but
later in the year they will all come
back and stay in the garden when small
so yes Ana Rita says I can't imagine the
pain of having something go into your
foot I know it was horrible it was a
very
terrifying experience I can still feel
the pain now not literally but I can I
can imagine what it was like I can still
remember the feeling as the nail went in
to my foot it was thought very nice I
was screaming and crying I still
remember what I said I said I've stepped
on a nail I'll never walk again
I will never walk again that's exactly
what I said and my my parents thought it
was quite funny in fact they thought I
was exaggerating but in fact it was it
was really bloody painful I do not
advise I do not recommend that you tread
or step on any sharp object
hello also to mr. Fane hello also yes
ears hello - who's now hello mr. Duncan
long time no see I am back again I
missed you all thanks a lot very nice to
see you
sometimes I know life sometimes can be
very hectic busy we all have things to
do so I do understand if sometimes you
can't attend my live streams however
some people now are in lockdown or
isolation so for you you have lots of
free time which is nice however I do
understand I do
understand and appreciate that sometimes
you have very busy lives I really do
hello also to Reza Reza Heidi spiders
use webs to catch flies and other
insects therefore many people believe
they are natural predators they are very
good for keeping other insects away from
your house yes I think so
so sometimes having spiders around can
be very useful insects can be quite
useful to have around they keep the
flies away and a pika I remember that
you had an invasion of lady birds in
your conservatory yes Anna you are right
I think it was 2 years ago
part of my house was full of lady Birds
I don't know how it happened
but there were lady birds everywhere
in my house I wish I had a picture of a
lady bird how do I got any photographs
of lady Birds I wonder I'm just trying
to find a nice photograph of a lady bird
I don't think I have one here I don't
think there is one loaded into my
computer unfortunately Anna asks how old
were you when you stepped on the nail it
must've been I think I must have been
around 14 I think I was about 14 yes
around 14 years old when that happens so
it was it was quite disturbing I suppose
it any age whatever the age if you step
on something very sharp and it goes into
your foot I don't think it matters how
old you are I think it is just as
painful
Tamim Tajin says I am too mean and I am
here for the first time yesterday all
day I watched your video
and you helped me a lot with my English
my English is very bad but I try to
learn English early that's good that is
good that is the reason why we are all
here we are
English addicts I love the English
language I love talking
have you noticed have you noticed how
much I enjoy talking well it's true I do
I love talking talking of which we're
going to take a little break and we are
going to have a look at something I
haven't shown for a long time I'm going
to show you one of my ask mr. Duncan
lessons who remembers ask mr. Duncan a
series of lessons I made many years ago
and I did make quite a few of them I
made a lot of those lessons so I thought
today we would have a look at one of my
episodes of ask mr. Duncan
and this is episode number 27 and then
after that we will be back live because
today we are going to play the sentence
game don't go away
hi everybody this is mr. Duncan in
England how are you today are you ok I
hope so
are you happy I hope so
Here I am with you all once again as
October looms over the horizon and the
long shadows of winter creep ever nearer
yes it's time to take her remedy what I
like to call my email inbox another
selection of your questions and comments
await so without any more dilly dallying
and a lollygagging let's have our first
question for today why do people use the
expression you know while speaking
English
do you know what I'm doing I'm looking
at one of my videos please yourself this
interesting question comes from Nicole
who lives in Canada first it is worth
noting that during everyday speech
people tend to use involuntary phrases
and words in their sentences it is
common to hear people use phrases such
as you know as a way of reinforcing
their statement it is a kind of phrasal
tic a speech habit it is supposed to add
emphasis to the point a person is making
you know it is what I do when I'm
telling you something you know another
speech habit is where the person says
yeah in or at the end of almost every
sentence mermaid goes down to the shops
yeah cuz he's out of bread yeah and when
he gets there yeah the place is closed
this can be a little annoying to listen
to my mate bill he is a lawyer yeah and
he says he can help you get your money
back yeah other phrasal tix include
repeatedly using actually or basically
as well as I know as another person is
explaining something or talking about
their problems basically actually you
know yeah it's annoying a nice email I
have received a nice email from Rachel
who lives in Hong Kong
Rachel writes to say that she discovered
my YouTube English lessons through her
teacher who plays my videos in the
classroom during each English lesson
well Rachel your teacher is not the only
one doing this many schools around the
world are now using my video lessons in
their classrooms too so I'm happy to
hear they have proved useful to both you
and your classmates take care and
Miha Maya to everyone watching in Hong
Kong why don't you allow comments on
your ask mr. Duncan videos this question
was sent in by Justyna who lives in
Poland the reason why I do not allow
comments on my ask mr. Duncan videos is
so that questions are not left on them
as there are so many videos now it would
be impossible to check them for new
questions so I took the difficult
decision to block comments on them this
does not mean that I do not want to hear
from you and you are more than welcome
to leave comments under all my 4 lessons
as well as my main Duncan in China video
channel there is also my Facebook page
too and of course I always welcome your
questions and comments at my email
address mr. Duncan at Waimea comm what
are the differences between the words
make and do and how do we use them note
to self don't forget to put the rubbish
out tomorrow morning before you leave
don't you hate it when technology
answers you back cheeky thing this
question comes from a Liam who lives in
the Ukrainian Republic of Crimea there
is a definite difference between these
two words in that one refers to actions
where something is created or made make
a pie make a hole make a video make
money although the last example has two
meanings to create money or to earn
money the word do tends to be used when
describing an action where something is
achieved do the laundry do your homework
do some gardening do generally relates
to word
that will be done or has been completed
however there are times when both can be
used for example you can make a portrait
or you can do a portrait in this case
one describes the work and the other
describes the result of the work in the
past tense we did a portrait or we made
a portrait synonyms of make include
build construct create compose craft and
put together the opposite of make is
destroy some animal idioms believe it or
not there are many idioms in English
relating to animals straight from the
horse's mouth to hear something or get
information directly from a person who
is most involved or connected to the
subject in hand I got this information
straight from the horse's mouth to work
like a dog this means to work for very
little reward or to be treated badly in
your job my boss makes me work like a
dog to be as happy as a pig in mud to
feel content and satisfied with your
situation I'm as happy as a pig in mud
the bee's knees something that is of a
high standard or quality this new TV is
the bee's knees crocodile tears to cry
and shed tears without feeling any real
emotion you pretend to cry a bull in a
china shop to rush into a situation
without thinking it through or to be
careless dressed up like a dog's dinner
a person who wears clothes that are over
stylish or unsuitable for their age he
or she is dressed up like a dog's dinner
how do I understand the meaning of words
while reading English books this
question was sent in by de l'année who
comes from Sri Lanka but he's now
studying here in the UK with her husband
well as far as improving your English
goes it all depends on your own level of
English and how difficult the text is to
understand in the first place it is
always tempting to avoid reading books
which have been written in a very simple
way using basic English some English
students find them insulting and
patronizing but the fact is you have to
start somewhere
although this is not your situation
there is no shame in an adult reading
books aimed at young children if they
provide the education needed I think the
hardest part of learning a new language
for an adult is accepting the feeling of
learning like a child but in fact
learning any new skill often start with
the most basic elements I always say
that everything starts with a B C the
best way to learn is through grasping
the basics for your particular situation
I would recommend that you buy or borrow
a dictionary that has been written in
your own language and has the English
translation for each word placed
alongside those listed these days
English translation dictionaries are
available in a wide range of languages
it is an invaluable tool for improving
your grasp of the language while
boosting your word power at the same
time I hope this is helpful to you July
and a big hello to your husband the
mullah I hope you both have a great time
here in the UK it's that time again
ladies and gentlemen boys and girls and
then in passing Extra Terrestrial it's
curious bad light on this planet it's
here again the future they tried to stop
suppressed bad and forbidden but this
week's word is obnoxious this is a
negative word which describes a person
who is hateful or has a cruel and cold
nature they are unbearable and
detestable the word is often confused
with arrogant which means a person who
shows up and likes to boast and brag so
that person would be arrogant and
obnoxious they would be hated and
detested because they brag the opposite
of obnoxious is nice another nice email
I have received a nice email from Romy
who comes from Brazil but now lives in
Japan Romy enjoys watching my English
videos especially the ones about
happiness and sadness and the ones about
the human body the weather and the
variations within English I see from
your email that you teach Spanish
English and Portuguese there in Japan

luck with your work Romi and thank you
for your special cheer for me

was talking about
ladybirds a few moments ago and oh look
look what I found
oh I have found a little video clip of
the lady birds so this was taken when I
had the invasion of lady Birds
and you can see there are lots and lots
of lady birds and they were all living
in my conservatory they were making
themselves at home in my conservatory so
the lady birds I mentioned earlier I
knew I was pretty sure that I knew where
that video clip was so there you go
something else I want to mention the
other day I was watching a cartoon on TV
a very funny cartoon something I used to
watch when I was a child in fact
something called Wacky Races but
apparently this particular cartoon is
also very popular in other countries
including Japan so there you can see two
of the characters from Wacky Races and
apparently they are also very popular in
many parts of the world including Japan
so there you can see the two characters
on the left there is the dog his name is
Muttley
Muttley and he has a very distinctive
laugh that is actually how he laughs and
on the right you have Dick Dastardly so
does anyone else know these characters a
cartoon series I used to watch as a
child called Wacky Races I used to watch
it all the time and apparently a lot of
people around the world watch it as well
fed n says when I was young I watched
these sometimes as well
Mohsen says yes it is from hanna-barbera
hanna-barbera is a cartoon company they
used to make lots of children's cartoons
including Wacky Races also top
as well another one of my favorite
cartoon shows as a child and also what
else did he make as well I want to say
Tom and Jerry but I don't think it was
them I don't think they made Tom and
Jerry did they not sure about that Hong
Kong Phooey was another one I used to
watch as a child mr. Duncan have you
ever counted the number of your students
do you mean the amount the quantity the
number of students that I have here I'm
not really sure to be honest
Mohsen says Yogi Bear come on boo boo
hello boo boo I'm a super cool bear I
don't think he ever said that Yogi Bear
can you remember yogi bear's little
friend so there was Yogi Bear and also
there was a little bear as well another
little bear can you remember his name
his name was boo boo boo boo come on boo
boo let's go something like that I can't
really do the voice to be honest I can't
do his voice hello cap Devi I've seen
you have a beautiful place in Much
Wenlock called the Blue Lagoon
it is a quarry filled with water do you
ever go swimming there no I don't
because it's very dangerous
the police will often read that
particular place because you are not
supposed to swim in that place for two
reasons first of all it is private
property
and it belongs to someone else the other
thing is that it's very dangerous
because under the water there are lots
of sharp rocks and sometimes people will
throw things in to the lake so it used
to be a
Quarry but later on it filled with water
so now a lot of people in the summer go
there to swim however it is very
dangerous to swim in any place that you
are unsure of including abandoned
quarries so a lot of people do like to
go swimming they call it the Blue Lagoon
however you might end up turning blue
yourself if you were to drown let's just
say lil says what a lot of ladybirds
i've never seen an invasion of ladybirds
i saw an invasion of grasshoppers and
butterflies but not these lovely bugs

Travolta thank you I'm very very

that's what we're calling it you see the
sentence game and it's something you can
play along at home with feel free to
play along at home the sentence game is
something that is fun to do all you have
to do if you want to write the words
down this is what I'm going to do I'm
going to give you four words and using
those four words I want you to create a
sentence so you can use those words
however there is only one rule I had
complaints the other day about this
there is only one rule
you must use the words in that order so
don't move the words around you must use
the words in the correct order the
sentence game is a game that you can
play along at when you at home like now
for example the sentence game shall we
play would you like to play the sentence
game
Oh Mika hello Mika I I loved Conan Conan
yes I remember Conan he he's the boy
detective the boy detective is called
Conan dear I'm just getting really rid
of someone someone is now going away you
see bye bye yes I remember Conan the boy
detective he was he was a man but then
due to an experiment going wrong he
became a boy is that right I remember
watching Conan in China when I was
living there so yes there seems to be a
lot of popularity in China of Japanese
cartoons I've noticed there is another
one I remember watching called Doraemon
Doraemon and he's a little robot cat who
remembers that does anyone watch
Doraemon I used to watch it all the time
and the other one of course was what was
the other one oh I can't remember his
name but he was a little spoiled child
and he always wanted attention from his
mother oh mama this is how he used to
speak Oh mum
I think his name was I can't remember
his name that's really annoying anyway I
digress I am moving away from the
important subject which is the sentence
game here are the first words whatever
did oh sorry I'll try again
whatever guy did up so those are the
words what I want you to do is to create
your own sentence using those words
however you must use them in this order
the first whatever then guy did up those
are the words and all I want you to do
is to construct a sentence so in between
these words what you have to do is
construct a sentence and then you can
write it on the live chat as well so the
words are whatever guy did up
if you think you have something to offer
if you want to offer something there you
are more than welcome to do so and we
are playing the sentence game very nice
very nice indeed adrian asks how or why
is it wrong or why did you not accept if
the word is in another order the reason
why I insist on the order is to make it
harder for you to do a little harder so
I don't want to make it too easy you see
so there is a construction to this game
there is a construction what I am doing
with this game is to get you to think
about how those words can be used so
that is the reason why the order has to
stay the same I suppose you might say
that it is putting a little bit more
pressure on you because you have to
think more carefully if you can just
move the words around then it makes it
much easier mm-hmm
you see oh you see hello Sarah
hello also Kim whatever Kim says
whatever guys did girls don't put up
their hands to accept hmm I see
interesting
whatever that guy did I still upgrade my
lesson upgrade well that is a different
word isn't it upgrade is actually a
different word it is a different word
whatever that guy did up to you is up to
him
whatever did the guy up I'm not even
sure that's a sentence to be honest I'm
not sure if that is even even a sentence
na na Leah says it is the first time I
am playing it is interesting thank you
so much okay I will give you one of my
suggestions and then you can see what I
am doing with this game like i will show
you my suggestion whatever happened to
that guy you used to date did you both
split up ah mr. Duncan we can see what
you've done there whatever happens to
that guy whatever happened to that guy
you used to date did you two split up so
there you can see I'm using all of those
words in that order
whatever this guy did whatever this guy
did it always cheers me up whatever this
guy did it always cheers me up yes
that's good I like that one whatever
that person does it always makes me
happy I like it
Lena let's have a look what Lena has
whatever the guy did some time ago it's
up to you to decide how to punish him
now let's have another look whatever the
guy did some time ago it is up to you to
decide how to punish him now ah yes that
works yes
so Lena you have managed to use all of
those words in that order to create a
sentence I like it Amane says whatever
the guy did it's it's it's up to his
mother to punish him oh okay let's have
a look shall we
whatever the guy did it is up to his
mother to punish him yeah look at that
pretty good pretty good I like it
whatever he did he is the guy who did
the house up better oh let's have a look
whatever he did he is the guy who did
the house up better okay whatever he did
he is the guy who did the house up
better if you do something up it means
you renovate or you make something look
better than it did before so if you do
something up you are renovating
something maybe you are painting your
house maybe you are redecorating your
house Platina hello Platina let's have a
look shall we look at this guy oh okay
that is in a different order Oh mr.
Duncan you are so mean so try to use the
words in this order please it's okay
please don't shout at me mr. Duncan why
you so mean I'm not being mean Mika
whatever happened to you this guy will
help you like he did to cheer me up okay
yes
whatever happened whatever happens to
you or whatever happens to you this guy
will help you like he did to cheer me up
that is okay yes the the grammar is
almost correct there I think so whatever
happens to you this guy will help you
like he did to cheer me up you are using
all of those words there
in the correct order thank you very much
I know I'm going to get complaints
people are going to complain to me
please don't complain to me I won't be
able to sleep I won't be able to get to
sleep tonight hello Cameron mr. Duncan
can you renovate my PP I'm not sure
about that I'm not sure I'm not I'm not
really a plastic surgeon hello Anna
whatever the guy did he never gave up
whatever the guy did he never gave up
okay plot EEMA says I have the wrong
order and I am not disciplined well
maybe maybe I have maybe I have
disciplined you hello Annie
I'm sorry mr. Duncan the sentence
whatever this guy did it always cheers
me up can I use two different tenses is
that correct I think so yes yes you
don't have to observe one particular use
of the word so for example up can be
used in many different ways
up so up can be direction but also we
are talking about a person's mood as
well so you might cheer someone up that
means you are making their mood better
cheer up cheer up
so you cheer someone up it means you are
making them feel better more happy
whatever this guy did it's always cheers
me up yes
that's okay by me
hi mr. Duncan and everyone oh hello
Alessandro nice to see you here as well
Adrian says let's have a look shall we
Adrian whatever this guy did when he
woke up this morning I don't mind oh
okay
what whatever this guy did when he woke
up this morning when he woke up this
morning I don't mind there is no answer
to that to be honest with you I have no
answer to what you just said there
Giuseppe I love your answers by the way
your answers are brilliant
once again Giuseppe whatever the guy did
I decided to give up playing with him
yes you give up so again the word up is
being used in a different way give up if
you give up you are quitting you stop
doing something you stop doing something
that you normally do you give up you
give up you stop doing something so the
word up can actually be used in many
ways not only about direction but also
as an action when we are showing the
action of quitting something you stop
doing you give up give up smoking you
give up drugs Yoona Karina oh I thought
that was an answer to my word sentence
quiz but it isn't I am going to look for
an orange or I'm going to look for some
orange juice in the fridge please keep
creating
his friends Thank You Yuna Karina arts B
hello arts B they're going to have some
new words in a moment some new words are
coming soon arts be whatever that guy
did I know he's innocent so I'll do my
best for for him to wake up freely from
his bed whatever that guy did I know
he's innocent and I will do my best for
him
when he wakes up freely from his bed
that's an interesting sentence maybe you
are saying that you will defend someone
maybe someone who you feel has been
treated unfairly
perhaps Platina says you can also be up
to no good
if you are up to no good it means you
are doing something you should not be
doing you are up to no good I'm very
distracted by a spider there are some
spiders there is a very tiny spider that
little spider you probably can't even
see it there are lots of very tiny
spiders do you ever see spiders that are
very small that they are called many
spiders so in England in the UK we often
call them many spiders many spiders wow

intrigued to find out who and what Adam

and then we will play one more sentence
game so we're going to have a little
break do you mind if I have a break I
need to rest my my little throat for a
few moments we are going to take a look
at one of my full English lessons that
seems like a good idea so this is an
excerpt from one of my many full English
lessons which are available on my
youtube channel and this is full English
number 27
there you are I've been waiting here for
ages
where have you been welcome to another
full english lesson with me mr. duncan
coming to you from the birthplace of
Johnny Rotten Phil Collins Billy Idol
Ringo Starr and of course the English
language I love English so much I might
actually marry it one day
mr. and mrs. English we will be the most
elegant guests at the ball I can see it
all now what a wonderful feeling oh
sorry I drifted away there I went into a
daydream I became lost in my thoughts
okay without any more fantasizing or
daydreaming let's get on with today's
full English lesson right now here's an
interesting word that relates to a
common form of human behavior the word
is passive aggressive a passive
aggressive person is someone who uses
non direct resistance as a form of
protest or as a means of reacting to
something a common form of this behavior
is the action of pretending to
misunderstand or feign confusion you
avoid confrontation by acting dumb non
direct confrontation can take the form
of silence avoiding contact or refusing
to speak to someone can be described as
passive aggressive behavior it is common
for those in long-term relationships to
develop patterns of passive aggressive
behavior the word passive is often used
to show a submissive state whereas
aggression is often seen as being the
opposite
some see this word as an oxymoron two
words that are used together but have
opposite meanings is an oxymoron
passive-aggressive behavior is generally
seen as a normal part of human
interaction however it can sometimes be
linked to certain personality disorders
to avoid responsibility or conflict in a
non-compliant way can be described as
passive-aggressive behavior
it's now time to take a look at another
buzzword a buzzword is a word or phrase
that is used often during a certain
period of time today's buzz word is
tariff the word tariff can be used as a
noun or verb as a noun the word tariff
is a form of taxation or charge which is
added to the sale of goods imported from
overseas if China wants to sell their
goods to the USA then they will have to
pay tariffs on what they export the
amount of each tariff depends on what
types of goods are being sold high-end
or expensive items tend to have a very
high tariff attached to them luxury
items such as cars and valuable
commodities sold overseas such as oil
and steel often carry heavy tariffs the
charge is added as a way of collecting
the lost revenue which would otherwise
be generated domestically as a verb
tariff is the action of putting the
charge in place a tariff can also be
described as a levy tax toll duty excise
it is a form of export tax the country
exporting the goods pays a tariff to the
country that is importing them to charge
a tariff is to impose a fee the tariffs
are put in place they are required they
have been enforced

oh my goodness
we are live across YouTube on what was a
very peaceful Wednesday afternoon
unfortunately it is not peaceful anymore
for those who are wondering I am talking
about the time today so I will be
mentioning what time it is and it is
also a very good way of improving your
English so here we are we are just
approaching approaching quarter to four
so it is almost very nearly a quarter to
four or you might also say 3:45 so you
can express this in more than one way
3:45 or you can say it is a quarter to
four we are with you for another 15
minutes and it is myself mr. Duncan live
on YouTube yes love you see you see the
clock is telling you what time it is
right now in the world well at least
here in the UK that's what time it is
right now yes we are playing the
sentence game today it is a game that we
started on Sunday and we will continue
doing it today thank you very much for
your lovely messages Maliha mr. Duncan
can you change the time oh dear mr.
Duncan can you change the time when you
are coming alive in my country
Afghanistan it is time for breakfast but
your lessons are so interesting I can't
leave excuse me
sorry about that I had to have a little
sneeze then and again another sneeze I
am suffering at the moment from hay
fever for those who are wondering
unfortunately I am suffering with hay
fever right now the pollen from all of
the plants in the trees are going at my
nose and making me sneeze I'm sorry but
but it's very hard to change the time of
my livestream I normally do it at 2 p.m.
UK time and I always do it at that time
so unfortunately I am pretty much locked
in with this time so - until 4 o'clock
quite often I will be here live but
normally I do start at 2 o'clock 2 p.m.
UK time is when I am on with you we are
playing the sentence game we are having
one more round before we finish one more
round and there you can see
there are four words all you have to do
is construct a sentence using those four
words however there is one rule you must
use these words in this order you must
put these words in this order they must
come like this for example we must be
careful how we treat other people when
they are with us you see we must be
careful how we treat other people when
they are with us so there you can see a
very good example of how we can use
these words in a sentence but what about
you do you have your own idea let me
know please on the live stream
it would be ever so nice and for those
who are wondering I will be with you
tomorrow as well yesterday I was talking
about maybe maybe stopping my live
streams every day however I have
received a lot of messages saying mr.
Duncan please please don't stop your
daily live streams because we love
watching your live streams every day so
this is what's been happening I think
now I have been with you for the past 40
days 40 yes I think so maybe 40 maybe 42
days but this is my 40th maybe maybe 42
days I've been doing my live streams
every day so over 40 days I
being here every day so I will be with
you tomorrow don't worry of course the
weather tomorrow might be bad who knows
but apparently this week the weather is
going to become very cold again even
though today it's lovely out here can
you see how nice it is outside and even
the Blackbird is busy look can you see
the Blackbird the Blackbird is looking
for things to eat on the grass so even
the Blackbird at the moment is very busy
in the garden yes I can see you can you
see me
Hey I think the Blackbird is learning
English as well here we go then these
are the four words and all you have to
do is construct a sentence using those
four words we how people us hmm hello -
za Ren let's have a look shall we
Zorin we are pleased how people treatise
on the street we are pleased at how
people or we are pleased about how
people treat us on the street we are
pleased how people treat us on the
street we are pleased how people treat

the words are in the correct order hmm
hello Valerie we know how to invite
people to come with us we know how to
invite people to come with us with us us
when we say us we mean us as in people
myself and all the other people who are

the people we are referring to you have
a very nice effect you have a good
effect on us people the people we how
people us the trees we like how people
enjoy spending time with us every
afternoon in our garden now can you see

sentence a little bit we like how people
enjoy spend
time with us every afternoon in our
garden yes
also we have Annie hello Annie mr.
Duncan your daily live streams make me
happy and they helped me not to forget
the English language
unfortunately the lockdown is supposed
to last even longer than the next few
weeks well this is also happening in the
UK it looks as if we are going to be
having this period of lockdown for a few
more weeks incredible incredible the
word game and also as I like to call it
four sentence game because what you are
doing you are making sentences from
these words it sounds easy but actually
it is not as easy as it sounds it really
isn't arts be hello arts be we know how
people from the UK and Ireland love to
have the CERN with us
are you saying that that here in the UK
we normally send all of the lovely
weather somewhere else maybe maybe
you're right
mr. Duncan really how are you you what
you cough too much please take care of
your health
everyone is waiting for you to go live
that's okay
it's alright I'm okay I'm not ill a lot
of people think I'm ill or unwell I'm
not I am suffering from hay fever it is
something that causes sensitivity in my
nose
unfortunately so this time of year all
of the pollen in the flowers and the
plants it goes up my nose and then it
makes me sneeze so that's the reason why
I keep sneezing it's nothing else don't
worry it is not that thing it isn't
trust me it is not Vitesse we always
remember how people aid us yes how
people aid us you can aid someone by
giving them assistance or help you aid
someone so aid can be used as a noun and
also a verb you can aid someone you are
giving help or support to someone very
good
zhuzi care we don't know how to convince
people to help us with all this word we
don't know how to convince people to
help us with all this work yes you see
very good I like it

time to go it's almost time to say
