in fact in the first lesson of the grammar course um we start with verb tenses in the grammar course
right we build from small too big to these complex amazing structures towards the end of the course
um but in that first lesson we talk about when to use past simple past continuous and
the special structure end up plus verb ing and you can combine all of these to tell very interesting
stories about your childhood um so aubry how do we use end up plus verb ing yes we use
this to talk about past achievements to describe maybe where we went to school where we've worked
i use this a lot and up and the um the stress of it's important too so you want to listen as
we share these example sentences so you can see how you stress these sentences it's the perfect
structure to use to chat with co-workers or new friends to bond to share some information about
yourself some personal information about the past about your childhood about your achievements and
find out from them as well that's how you make those connections deeper guys um in fact uh
just recently i was talking to a student in the course and she told me about using this
structure at work and she was like so proud of herself um so end up plus verb ing it just
introduces like the final action right what what happened finally how does the story end
um so it's good for conclusions right but we're going to give you a bunch of different examples
so here are some like professional examples things you could use when talking about work uh we could
say i ended up staying with the company for 10 years and just recently decided to move on so i
could see using this if someone is like wow um why are you quitting or how long have you worked here
or um uh what made you decide to get a different job or something um we could use that sentence yes
or if you've been sharing a few details about some past job this is how you sort of wrap it up right
you end up staying there for 10 years it's like you said it's a great conclusion it's like putting
a bow on the conversation um and just to give you guys sort of an inside peek into how you're
going to learn this in the course first you uh learn the grammar rules and then you hear natives
using this in real conversation i went through hours and hours of native interviews to pull out
this grammar for you guys so you hear natives using this real grammar and then in the second
part you practice a very specific pronunciation point in this lesson it's sentence stress and
then the third part is more about fluency but again you're still using that new grammar it's so
fun um all right what's another businessy example yeah you might hear someone say they ended up
signing the contract but only after a lot of back and forth so this you could say on its own because
you're sharing all this other stuff happened before there's a lot of negotiating a lot of back
and forth but they ended up finally signing the contract yeah i feel like guys you should really
connect this to the word finely in your brain because we actually use those together quite
often when you're emphasizing like it took a while but this is how it ended right they finally ended
up signing right um and so back and forth that's that's a cool phrase if you're exchanging many
messages or phone calls or exchanging many notes with someone right that's a lot of back and forth
um all right so what is something we could use outside of work yeah so imagine you're just at
the water cooler you're chatting over lunch and you want to ask someone what they did last night
this is such a native and natural way to say what did you end up doing last night and how might you
respond jessica uh i ended up watching an uh horror show called monsterland nice right and
whatever you did even if someone's used that in the question it's a really native and natural to
use it in your answer too right oh the movie was sold out so we ended up going to a karaoke bar
yeah we ended up just sitting around watching tv guys we challenge you to use this the next time
you talk to a co-worker about what you did last weekend you can use ended up right you'd be like
you know i really wanted to clean the house and mow the lawn but i ended up just watching soccer
um there's like you could so use this so guys remember you can get so many amazing grammar
lessons native interviews pronunciation lessons in this grammar course but this will end next
