Hello hello hello hello welcome to a
live question-and-answer with me Gabby
your English teacher here at Go Natural
English let me do a quick tech check and
make sure you see me and hear me. If you
can hear me please say hello in the comments.
I already see Antonio, Aliceo. Hi! Can you hear me?
Please say yes if you can hear me.
How about that?
And I'll just check here
Alright awesome! So good to see so many
of you! Isabella, Camilo, Hakan. Wow so many
people watching live! So good to see you!
So today I have a really great
five-minute lesson for you. I got this question from André, one of my premium
course members. He asked this question in
our special closed group for premium
members and I already answered it there,
but I thought it was such a good question
that I wanted to bring it to you all in
today's live lesson for all. So the question
was actually I'll show it to you here
um, let me share my screen with you. Wow,
we have hundreds of people watching! Thank
you for joining me. This is awesome to
have you all here.
Okay I'm gonna try to make this bigger.
Oh, maybe I can't.
There we go.
Okay so here's the question from André a
premium Go Natural English course member
in our premium Facebook group. He says, "Hi
friends, how was your weekend? I need your
help again! I'd like to know in what
situation I must use the words 'all over
the world',
'worldwide', and 'around the
world'. Are these words similar? Thank you
for helping!"
Okay, so let me ask you guys: do you want to
know the answer to this question? Is it
okay if I tell you the answer? Let me
come back and see if it's okay with you.
If you're interested in this question I
will share my best answer with you and
lots of examples so tell me yes I'm
ready
tell me tell me in the comments. I'm
waiting for you.
Hey, I see Aciele from Brazil and Eduardo
asking where are you. I'm in Texas. I'm
in the United States of America in Texas
in my friend's house and we're going to
celebrate Christmas together tomorrow so
I should say Merry Christmas to all of
you! Very happy holidays and Merry
Christmas.
Okay I see a lot of yes please tell me you
guys are great.
Okay, um awesome I will tell you. Let me share
my screen with you again and i'll show
you the answers. You're gonna love this
it's going to be super helpful because
these words are really confusing I had
to think about the answer myself for a
while. So we have 'around the world', 'all
over the world', and 'worldwide'.
Okay, I think you can see on my screen. The
answer is they're really similar but
they have some differences in use. So
here's an example Christmas is celebrated all over the
world. So this is after the verb so is
celebrated that's the verb all
over the world so we're describing how
its celebrated and we use it after the
verb. Next, Christmas is celebrated around
the world. These are just examples right? I know not
everyone celebrates Christmas but there
are people around the world who
celebrate Christmas. So Christmas is
celebrated around the world same we use
it after the verb to describe how
and then the third example Christmas is
a worldwide holiday so we describe the
word holiday we use the word worldwide
before the word holiday to describe
where. More examples this is just a
random example I thought of. We can say
yes
violence is a worldwide problem
no we cannot say violence is an around
the world problem no no no no no.
Also we cannot say violence is an all
over the world problem. No, that does not
sound right. It's not right.
Don't say that. Why? Because we're
describing where not describing how.
Here's a few more examples.
Yes we can say I am traveling around the
world.
Yes I am traveling all over the world.
No we cannot say I am traveling worldwide.
That does not sound good.
Please don't say that. Why? Because we're
describing how. We would say I'm
traveling the world but not worldwide. So
we cannot use worldwide after a verb
like am traveling.
Okay, so I know I went really fast. This is something that I would help you
guys out with if you were a member of a premium
course these are the kind of questions
that we talk about inside our premium
group. I have a few things I wanted to tell
you guys. Today because it's Saturday the
day before Christmas it is time for the
first time ever for Go Natural English
to actually take a break for the
holidays. So our store is closing. It
closed today actually it's already closed.
We are closed from today through January
8th so right now the only thing that I
want to ask you to do is to if you want
