uh i am going to share the video now and
then i am going to begin because we have
a lot uh to talk about especially uh a
lot of vocabulary to cover so i will
share today's lesson and get started
we're going to begin today
uh by talking about some basic grammar
structures i'm going to review
uh some very very basic grammar that you
can use to express uh your emotions to
express your feelings so let's begin
with basic grammar patterns
all right uh let's start over here uh
very very simply and please as uh as the
lesson continues send your example
sentences in the chat i will try to
check live uh so let's start over here
the first grammar pattern uh is the most
basic uh sentence structure the most
basic sentence for today
it's i'm
plus adjective i'm plus adjective so
this i'm
is the reduced form the short form of i
am yeah so i read your comments all the
time i i read your comments almost every
day lots of people forget this um lots
of people write i plus adjective like i
happy or something like that please
don't forget this i'm i'm i'm plus
adjective so we'll talk about vocabulary
words
to use here a reminder an adjective is a
word that describes a noun or describes
an adverb so adjectives for example more
later happy i'm happy or i'm angry or
i'm sad and so on so use an adjective at
the end of the sentence to describe your
emotions
okay
then to make the negative form
you would just use not
after i'm so i'm not plus your adjective
so very very basic sentence structure
to be a little more specific then you
can use something like this i'm a bit or
i'm a little plus your adjective so this
means the level is kind of down so i'm
happy and i'm a little happy that's kind
of a slight difference there it's not
such a natural thing to say in that case
but if you want to be more specific
about the level of your emotion you can
use i'm a bit or i'm a little again
don't forget this article here i'm a bit
i'm a little here
uh next one is i'm feeling i'm feeling
so we're using the progressive the
continuous form here uh i am feeling
adjective this is commonly used when we
are sick i'm feeling sick or i'm feeling
bad or i'm feeling better
so again these are very very basic
sentence structures we can use for
today's lesson
and that you can use in your everyday
life to describe or to think about your
condition or your emotions
i want to continue
to a couple more uh patterns
specifically uh
patterns we use to describe the cause of
something
so for this uh maybe i think many of you
know about the verb to make to make so
here uh when we say for example he she
or it makes me
this makes means causes causes
so
we're not talking about creating
something
this sentence pattern mean causes me to
feel adjective so for example he makes
me angry means he causes me to feel
angry this is another very common way
that we express emotions uh specifically
relating to the cause of the emotion or
she makes me happy if you want to change
the subject and use you as the subject
like you make me adjective so please
note when your subject is you it's kind
of hard to see on the screen sorry
you there's no s here you make so a
reminder when your subject is he she it
or that as well uh yeah
uh this s
has to be you have to use this s at the
end of make so he makes me she makes me
and so on but you make me so please
don't forget these little points well
they're not little i know they seem
little it's one letter but they're very
important so again don't forget this s
don't forget your article
in expressions like this and don't
forget your
apostrophe m
here so these little points uh they
sound like little points but they're not
so these structures these sentence
patterns are going to be
uh like the foundation those are going
to be the patterns we use for today's
lesson so uh yeah send me your example
sentences some are coming in now uh des
rociers hi on youtube says she makes me
happy for example very nice very nice uh
leah says you make me feel like a
million bucks nice one leah okay uh this
rustier says again you make me laugh
good good good good uh
hi sorry if i mispronounced your name
said i'm feeling strong jack says i'm
feeling so stressed stressed so i'll add
that to a list of words later stressed
ed at the end stress is a noun sam says
why did you add s after makes this is a
present tense grammar point
when your subject is he
she or it the verb make takes an s at
the end this is true for regular verbs
in english if your subject is you there
is no change to the verb so your subject
changes the verb conjugation that's why
there's an s here
okay
other example sentences uh oscar says
she makes me feel comfortable good
carlos says she makes me sick nice
examples everybody okay i wonder if
they're true okay good uh let's take a
quick break and then we'll go to maybe
the biggest part of today's lesson which
is about vocabulary i've chosen a lot of
vocabulary words uh to expand your
vocabulary i hope so quick break and
then we'll go on let me see what shall i

with that let's continue to part two for
today's lesson our vocabulary part for
today's lesson if you're just joining
please make sure to like and share the
video so that other people can find
today's lesson that would be very cool
uh so we covered basic grammar patterns
so you can use these basic grammar
patterns with the vocabulary words i'm
going to share or your own vocabulary
words i will try to check throughout the
lesson so let us begin let's take a look
so i've used very small of small version
of
adjective wheels which i've shared in
these live streams before basically
what's happening here i have one core
adjective one main adjective and other
adjectives that share
like the core meaning of this word so
here
let's begin i'll share what this is uh
let's start with this one happy happy so
when you want to express a happy emotion
you can say i'm happy that's fine but
how do you be more specific how can you
more specifically express the type of
happy you feel so for example uh we have
excited excited so excited is a very
positive word generally uh we have happy
feelings and lots of energy about
something before an activity like i'm
excited i'm going to disneyland or i'm
excited i'm going to a concert so it's
like happy plus energy
this one i've chosen this kind of slang
word this rough word stoked i'm stoked
we use this or some people use this uh
to express like that we're happy about a
past activity like i was stoked i got a
like a good job offer or we can use it
for a future activity it usually is used
for something very casual like i'm going
to the beach with my friends this
weekend i'm stoked so stoked is like is
like the same idea as excited
but we can use we use stoked a lot to
talk about like our past feelings too
and it tends to sound uh quite rough
rough but not in like a bad way but it's
just a kind of a
cool laid-back word that some people
choose to use stoked stoked
uh
next word is thrilled
thrilled this is maybe a good
pronunciation point for lots of you
thrilled i am thrilled we use this uh in
more formal situations we might use this
before an announcement so thrilled means
you're happy yes of course you're happy
but you're also
like happy in a formal way maybe like
it's kind of more polite so this is a
vocabulary word you can use at the
beginning of an announcement or at the
beginning of a speech something like
that so like if i have something i want
to share like on social media for
example i want to share a new project i
i have said in the past too i'm thrilled
to share this project so it means happy
and excited and it sounds kind of formal
i'm thrilled i'm thrilled
uh this next one here is elated elated
this is another very more formal word we
don't use this very often in everyday
conversation you might see this more in
writing especially in somewhat more
old-fashioned writing elated
it means just like very very happy and
cheerful elated elated
uh finally ecstatic ecstatic so ecstatic
is like excited very very excited plus
very cheerful so that's ecstatic we're
very happy very excited and also quite
cheerful so
these are all words that can mean happy
in some way but more specific
so murat khan sorry if i said that wrong
says what about jubilant yes you can use
jubilant but it's not really like an
everyday word we don't use it so much in
conversation uh jubilant i guess would
be kind of like elated here
so we don't use it so much in everyday
conversation
okay
any questions
hola hi on facebook says i'm thrilled to
share my lesson on youtube nice nice how
do you use elated in a sentence just
like this
i'm elated i'm not elated so these are
all uh sentence patterns we can use with
these expressions today
so we use elated uh again for like
formal situations formal situations okay
let's move on there's a lot to cover
let's change adjectives now so next core
adjective here is sad sad so let's talk
about some other uh words uh and phrases
that mean something similar to sad first
is down
down so down of course means like you
know this motion yeah down or also low i
feel low i'm low i'm down means my mood
is down
we don't use high by the way high has a
very different meaning uh i won't talk
about in this lesson but when you talk
about your mood your emotions i'm down
or i'm feeling down
it means your your mood or your emotions
are low
next one is
disappointed disappointed this is a very
very useful word it means you had an
expectation
and the expectation was not met so for
example you had a plan and the plan did
not happen you would say i'm
disappointed i'm disappointed parents
like to use this with kids a lot they
say i'm disappointed
in you i'm disappointed in you we use
the preposition in in that case
disappointed
uh the next one here is miserable
miserable i'm miserable that means like
i'm very sad i don't want to do anything
like i don't want to leave my house the
situation is terrible we can use
miserable to describe our emotions our
feelings we also often use miserable to
describe the weather the weather so when
it's like really cloudy uh it's rainy
it's really really ugly outside we often
say the weather is miserable so we can
use this for emotions and to talk about
the weather
uh the next one is heartbroken
heartbroken so literally uh if you
imagine a heart like you know like a
romantic relationship and your heart is
broken so we use this uh when we end
relationships to describe a sad feeling
we also use this word when something we
were very excited about like doesn't
happen like we were really really like
emotionally invested we had a lot of
expectations emotional expectations for
something it didn't happen so like
something we really wanted to get we
didn't get we might describe that
feeling as being heartbroken heartbroken
finally uh burned out burned out burned
out uh is an interesting word or
interesting expression rather when we
say i'm burned out it means i've been
doing too much and now i have no energy
so burned out
sometimes means sad like i did too many
things i was too busy i used too much
energy now i have no energy and i feel
bad that's burned out i'm burned out or
he burned out
so we can use this uh in a couple
different situations we might also use
this word uh to mean tired as well so
kind of depending a little bit on the
feeling
burned out can mean sad or tired i'm
burned out
okay questions uh
gertrudis counter yes hi the word hi i
talked about the opposite here high is
not related to emotions yes high is
related
to drugs so that's completely different
that's a different experience
but here
okay
let's continue on other questions i
don't see other questions so let's go on
to the next one which is tired so i just
said uh tired burned out is used for
tired as well so tired let's talk about
some adjectives that mean tired
first one is exhausted the pronunciation
here is exhausted exhausted it's not
exhausted exhausted
exhausted means very very tired we use
this at the end of a day where we did a
lot of physical activity so i went
hiking today i'm exhausted or i ran a
marathon today i'm exhausted
so please keep in mind exhausted is used
like when you are physically tired you
might also hear people use it uh when
they're emotionally very tired like i'm
exhausted uh from thinking about
something you could use that as well
next is beet i'm beat
beet is tired but it's a more casual
word we use this word a lot at the end
of a work day so at the end of a regular
work day that kind of regular normal
tired feeling i'm beat i'm beat
okay
uh okay uh oh hey monday blue i'm
drained you can say i'm drained not i'm
drained out but i'm drained i'm drained
that's another good one so drained means
i'm drained of energy i'm drained of
energy i have no energy
okay
uh next one for this is worn out i'm
worn out so the idea with this
expression is like a clothes for example
when you wear a like a shirt a lot and
it becomes kind of
old it uh maybe the fit it becomes loose
or there's a hole or something that
condition is worn out my shirt is worn
out we can describe our emotions with
worn out as well so we're very tired and
we kind of feel like we're falling apart
a little bit
worn out we're worn out
okay
on to the next one sleepy so use sleepy
specifically when we want to go to sleep
i'm sleepy so please don't use uh like
it's kind of strange to use uh sleepy
when you just mean like tired so use
sleepy when you want to talk about going
to bed specifically
all right
uh is it possible to use shattered
instead of exhausted i guess shattered
uh
i personally don't use shattered to
express like a tired feeling i use
shattered more for sad feelings so if i
feel sad and tired at the same time like
really disappointed and tired i might
say shattered i guess depends on the
person too
okay uh other
i don't see others so last one here uh
is out of it out of it so this is a set
phrase i'm out of it he's out of it
today out of it
means like out of someone's normal
condition so different from the normal
condition
so usually because they are tired so if
i say i'm out of it it's like i can't
focus on my work or i'm uh i'm not doing
a very good job because i feel tired or
because my mind is somewhere else i'm
out of it today so i might say this if
i'm just like on one day i'm just not
very
focused or it's hard for me to do my job
or to study
exactly as i always do
okay uh that's the last one for tired
let's go quickly then to the final group
angry over here and then we'll talk
about some idioms and slang to finish
today's lesson uh so angry let's talk
about angry angry first one is
frustrated frustrated we use frustrated
when uh we are trying to do something
we're trying to complete a task we're
trying to finish something and we are
unable to do that thing we continue to
try and continue to try and fail over
and over and over again so like when you
have computer problems like you always
have computer problems you try and try
and try to fix your computer and you
cannot do it
you can describe that feeling with i'm
frustrated i'm frustrated
another one that's very similar is
exasperated
i chose this because i hope many of you
don't know this word exasperated
exasperated is similar to frustrated
but you tend to use this one more with
like annoying situations so it's like
maybe if
you're like having a fight like kids are
having a fight and you're the parent and
you tell them like stop fighting stop
fighting stop fighting and they're very
annoying but you don't feel like angry
so much it's just kind of annoying and
you can't get them to stop you might
feel exasperated so it's like you're
trying and trying to like fix this
annoying thing
and that feeling we can describe with
the word exasperated exasperated
okay
um
some other ones
uh
okay uh someone says i'm frustrated and
exasperated right now really i wonder
why okay let's go to outraged outraged i
am outraged so uh maybe helpful to break
this word down out
and rage so rage is a noun rage means a
very high level of anger rage uh so when
we say outraged it's like you're putting
your rage your high level of anger out
so someone who is outraged is probably
very noisy about their anger
and they're very like um what should i
say they use very strong words to
describe it so someone who is very very
upset and is expressing themselves uh
like often loudly
that's someone who is outraged so he was
outraged or she was outraged about
something that is called outrage
as a noun and outraged here as an
adjective
uh next i saw this in the chat a few
minutes ago someone shared the word
irate irate irate means very angry very
angry but it tends to it
it differs from outrage the difference
here between irate and outraged irate
sounds a little more formal uh outraged
sounds more like you're you're putting
your anger out like the as i said the
out is kind of a good hint here irate is
someone who is extremely angry but maybe
they're maybe they're not putting uh
their emotions out but you can sense
that they are very very angry so this
word sounds a little bit more or we can
use it more often in polite situations
like you might say my boss was irate
when she learned the news or like the
ceo was irate about the problems in the
company so you might hear that more in
like professional or business related
situations irate
final uh annoyed annoyed so i used
annoyed earlier to talk about like
little kids fighting so we use annoyed
for everyday small things that bother us
it's like ugh i'm so annoyed right now
so those kids are fighting or like you
know maybe my co-worker keeps clicking
their pen that's another common one so
i'm annoyed
so please keep uh the differences
between like annoyed and frustrated in
mind so frustrated sounds kind of angry
you're trying to fix something and you
can't annoy it is like there's this
small thing that's kind of bothering me
right now i'm annoyed
okay that's all the vocabulary words i
wanted to cover in today's lesson we'll
take one quick break uh what's the
difference between exasperated and
exacerbate exasperated is an adjective
one exacerbate is a verb to exacerbate a
situation means to make a situation
worse so exasperated is quite different
from this
okay uh one more quick break and then
we'll go to just a few a few short
expressions some idioms you can use uh
gertrude says can i say i'm feeling torn
because my mom passed away yeah you can
say torn but torn is usually used if
you're like so imagine like tearing a
piece of paper imagine this is one piece
of paper i tear it in half it's like
you're going in two directions like you
feel you could go this way and you could
go this way torn is used when you're
trying to make a decision about which
way to go like if you
have two job offers you say i'm torn so
that might be a more common way to say a
torn monday my boss blew up at me my
boss blew up to blow up means to explode
with anger anyway some
quick review of some things i didn't
show you earlier a couple more of these
i haven't shown there's a
expressions sheet about planning time so
scheduling related words if you need to
brush up on your vocabulary for planning
check this out for those of you
interested in music uh there's this one
i know it says singing here but on the
back there are expressions for talking
about music sorry i know it's really
hard to see you can check this out it's
all for free just go download these to
get it all um
a couple do i have time for one more
okay sure shopping there's another
here's one more i'll show you about
shopping for those of you interested in
shopping some expressions and verbs you
can use on the back
so these expressions maybe are good to
use when you are shopping as well
all righty let's go to
the last part
let's go to the last part for today's
lesson idioms slangy expressions uh
i forgot what i was just gonna say oh
yeah if you're just joining us today
we're talking about how to express
emotions uh if you have not already
please make sure to like and share the
video so other people can find today's
lesson alrighty so last couple of
expressions i wanted to give you some
kind of fun expressions you can use
instead of using an adjective so these
will help you sound a bit more natural
first one to express embarrassment
you can use the expression in this case
let's use the subject i
i wouldn't be caught dead
verb in the progressive form or
i wouldn't be caught dead with person so
this means i wouldn't uh i don't want to
be seen
even dead so that means even if i died i
don't want someone to see me doing this
activity or even if i were dead i don't
want someone to see me with this person
so this is an expression for shame for
like
sorry not shame embarrassment
embarrassment so for example like i
wouldn't be caught dead uh with that
person in public like they're so i like
i really don't like that person i
wouldn't be caught dead i don't know
doing some crazy activity i wouldn't be
caught dead dancing in public i don't
know so
something that causes you to feel
embarrassment you can express that here
i in this case i wouldn't be caught dead
verb in the ing form or with a person
that's a good one for embarrassment
this one
too close to home too close to home this
has nothing to do with your house it has
nothing to do with the placement of your
house uh when we say too close to home
like for example uh what you said that
that thing you just said that's too
close to home it means that statement is
so real to me it makes me uncomfortable
so uh you can use this when you talk
about like movies media tv shows uh some
conversation topic or a discussion topic
that is very very true for you and it
makes you feel uneasy like a little
uncomfortable like oh did you see that
episode of the tv show last night like
that was too close to home so something
that makes you feel uncomfortable
because it's very realistic too close to
home
okay
leah i wouldn't be caught dead dancing
around in my apartment
so that does that mean you don't want to
do it i'll ask you later okay
next is to get something out of your
system and uh to get something off your
chest these are quite similar so i want
to talk about them together again to get
something out of your system and to get
something off your chest
first to get something out of your
system so your system here means your
body or your mind to get something out
of your system we use this when we need
to let goes to like to release energy
like uh like a little kid with a lot of
energy maybe they ate a lot of sugar or
something i don't know so like they're
running around and the parents might say
ah let him get it out of his system
meaning let him release what's in his
body like let him uh get that energy out
so we use this for energy a lot or we
use this for uh stuff we are thinking
about to i need to get this out of my
system so uh like energy or maybe when
you feel sad maybe you go jogging like
to get something get bad feelings out of
your system i need to get it out of my
system
when you use this expression to get
something off your chest or to get
something off of your chest you might
also hear
it means to say something you have been
thinking about for a long time so this
expression we don't really use for like
energy we don't really talk about
releasing energy we talk about releasing
our thoughts with this
we talk about releasing our thoughts
with this so
you might start a deep conversation with
i need to get something off my chest to
the chest here is kind of like your
heart really so you need to express
something from your heart
okay finally
no hard feelings no hard feelings we use
this at like the end of an uncomfortable
situation so maybe you have to decline
an offer or you have to reject something
or someone asks you on a date or
something like that and you say no so
it's kind of an uncomfortable situation
but you want to make sure the
relationship is still okay you can say
no hard feelings hard here means bad no
bad feelings so
like you said no thank you but no hard
feelings okay so that means i don't want
there to be bad feelings between us no
hard feelings
yeah okay i'm late as usual so
let's finish up there so these are i
think some interesting and useful uh
idioms you can use i guess i did mostly
idioms i thought i would include some
slang but i'll ask uh we'll end there
for today so i hope that this was
helpful for you i hope you found some
new adjectives that you can use and one
final parting points please remember
your ed adjectives and ing ending
adjectives your ing like that's annoying
is used for a thing outside you annoyed
edie refers to your own emotions there

class 101 youtube channel you can check
out for more alrighty i have to finish
