I love keyword Transformations! And so do you! Right? Of course you do!
Because all of the cool kids do and I'm a cool kid and if you're not
then go away because only cool kids are allowed here! Oh God... My name is Toby,
this is SMASH English and here are five C1 Advanced keyword transformations!
Let's start with the best thing ever! SMASH English! Live! On stage! In front of millions
of people! Worshiping me like a God! And you guys want to come... obviously... but
you can't because the stadium is full. And that's a terrible thing.
Let's start by eliminating repeated pieces of information. "I wanted to watch SMASH English
live" is the same as "I would have seen SMASH English live" so we can eliminate this. Now we
need to find another way of saying "there were too many people in the stadium". First let us think
about the grammar structure. Our first Clause starts with IF and that means that we need a
conditional. We love conditionals! Yes? Yes! Our second Clause contains WOULD plus HAVE plus a PAST
PARTICIPLE. That means that our second Clause is part of the third conditional. This means
our first Clause, our Clause with if, can either be a second conditional or a third conditional.
Our original sentence is talking entirely about the past and we use the second conditional to
talk about an imaginary present or an imaginary future. And this means that our first Clause
will be the third conditional because the third conditional talks about the past. Yeah? Yeah.
So we need IF plus SUBJECT plus the PAST PERFECT. Remember the third conditional is
talking about an unreal past and imaginary past so our answer needs to be the opposite of "there
were too many people in the stadium". What is our subject then? Well our subject is "the stadium"
so this gives us "if the stadium had": IF plus SUBJECT plus the PAST PERFECT. And the auxiliary
verb of the past perfect is HAD and that's why I put HAD after the subject. Right? Yeah. "crowded"
is an adjective and this adjective corresponds to "too many people" in our original sentence.
SO is an adverb that we use to modify adjectives so this means that the adverb SO should come
before our adjective CROWDED. This gives us "if the stadium had been so crowded" We've
put BE here because CROWDED is an adjective. We need the verb BE but because HAD is part
of the past perfect after had we need the past participle form of the verb BE. So "if
the stadium had been so crowded". Right? Yeah. Remember the stadium WAS crowded in the past.
This is true and we use the third conditional to talk about an imaginary past. So we need to
make it negative "if the stadium had not been so crowded" and we're done.
Oh and if you want to learn more about the third conditional then watch that
video there! You'll learn all about it and you'll give me another view and
I desperately need them because this channel is doing terribly.
And Toby for the record like, if SMASH English did perform live it would definitely not be
too crowded unless you did it like somewhere really small like your bedroom or something. Hey
that's a good idea, you know! Toby! In concert! In his bedroom!
No! Oh my God tell me what is wrong with you, you sicko!
This is very true! I'm a doctor and you should believe everything I say. This is one of those
horrible questions where if you don't know then you don't know and yeah I know that's
not exactly helpful. We need to find another way of saying "you should never" and our key word here
is ACCOUNT. This requires an inversion with the fixed expression ON NO ACCOUNT. So our answer
is "on no account should you go a day without watching SMASH English". This structure is an
inversion because the modal verb SHOULD is before the subject like we do in questions. But this is
not a question! If you want to learn more about inversion because you're thinking "Toby why are
we doing this! I don't understand! I'm really confused!" you can watch a video about it here.
And this is definitely not true. So we have "I have" and HAVE is the auxiliary verb of the
present perfect. Our key word is the verb RUN and this could be the past participle
so let's put RUN after HAVE. "I have run". Yeah. Now we have "because I have run _____
ideas". This part of the sentence corresponds to "I do not know what else to do". Well in
the past I had ideas but now I don't. I had lots of ideas in my head, I've used all of them and
now I do not have any left. Can you think of a phrasal verb with RUN that expresses this idea?
TO RUN OUT. "I am making this video because I have run out of ideas". Remember you can also run
out of battery, you can run out of motivation, you could run out of flour... Which could be a
terrible thing if you wanted to make pancakes, so I'm really sorry. Buy some more flour. Flour
these days, it's expensive, isn't it? And what am I talking about? But seriously if you want to
learn more about phrasal verbs with RUN then watch this video here! But don't run there!
No! Walk there! Because you could fall over and hurt your knee and that'd be awful, wouldn't it?
Do you remember what I said about being a doctor? Good. Because that applies here too. This sentence
is definitely definitely true so we need another way of saying "when it comes to YouTube channels".
Our keyword is FAR and our first word is AS so can you think of a fixed expression containing
AS and FAR? How about AS FAR AS. Yeah. Okay. So "as far as _____ concerned" So what is this phrase
concerning? Well our original phrase is "When it comes to YouTube channels" So this phrase
is concerning "YouTube channels" which gives us "As far as YouTube channels are concerned" and
there's our answer. Yeah. But actually this is a useful expression you can introduce your opinions
with. "As far as I'm concerned". For example, as far as I'm concerned the best people in the
world are Patricia, Veronica, Nunaromedus, my savior! Inigo! Maurobaldak, someone from France
and Yova! They donated! I celebrated and then that culminated in me saying thank you right now.
Thank you. If these videos are helping you then please do consider helping me
with your money. As always the links will be in the comments section and the description. Bruce!
We're almost done where are you? I'm not coming in today, Toby. Uh? Why not oh? I'm sick I think
I've got the flu. No you don't. What were you doing last night? Nothing. I told you Toby I'm
sick right, all right? all right then.
Before we begin in this sentence what does AS here mean? BECAUSE and so after BECAUSE
we need a SUBJECT. Our subject here is Bruce so let's put the third person pronoun HE after AS.
Now we have "Bruce won't be here as he ______ the flu yesterday. Our keyword DOWN is a preposition
and we still need to put a verb in this Clause so that suggests that we need a phrasal verb with the
preposition. Can you think of a phrasal verb with DOWN that we use with illnesses? I don't know if
you can because you're just looking at me through a screen but I'm going to pretend that you can.
Yes! Well done! You can COME DOWN WITH an illness, and this means to get sick with an illness or to
catch an illness. So well done! You got it right! Oh yeah and remember our second Clause is in the
past so everything needs to be in the past simple. "Bruce won't be here as he came down with the flu
yesterday" And yes of course if you want to learn more about phrasal verbs with COME then
I've got a video right here! I mean I've got a video for everything so just just watch all
of my videos please thanks yeah. And with that we are finished those were five so you want Advanced
