hi
james from invid
i'm just looking at the lesson i'm going
to teach you today
some of you will find it
so hard and so difficult and others too
hard and too difficult
so what i'm going to do is i'm going to
start off with something basic
and then we'll begin the lesson
right mr e
he's back too
two and so
two words in english
that are so simple and so basic yet so
misunderstood
much like my love for puppies
anyway um
okay when we talk about two and so
there's the idea of something being more
there's something extra and this is
right
when you say so
you usually mean we usually you'll hear
most people say it for about size
so big so tall so small and they want to
talk about the size of thing and really
make it strong to you give you tell you
it's not normal it's more than you think
and when they usually use two it's the
same idea but they usually use it in
more of a negative way of thinking
so if you really want to think of it
think of so with a smile as positive so
when you want to say something you
really like it so much so much so much
see use s for smile smiley face and use
two and think of two because this two
has two o's on it think two that's too
many o's i only need one i only need one
that was the wrong finger i only need
one o and because i only need one o
there's too many things so it's more
than i want that help okay now i'm going
to warn you that's the basic
understanding so if you're following and
you got that that's good
if not go back watch this part of the
video again listen to what i said and
then the rest of this is going to make a
lot of sense
now for the rest of you
it's party time okay so let's go
2 let's start off with 2. notice 2 is in
red why is 2 in red well it's in red
because red is usually blood which is
usually negative
in saying that i want you to understand
that two in this case is more than you
want
need or is allowable i use some big
words there allowable you are able to do
something
but more than you need more than you
want or desire
excessive that's what this word means
excessive means more too much
notice the water coming into the cup
it's coming out well there's too much
cool all right
more than so that's what we mean here
give you two examples
james usually talks too fast so i don't
understand him
that's true
that means i speak so fast that most of
the information you want
you can't get it's too fast it's gone by
and you can't get it back
what's another thing excessive
well in saudi arabia it's too hot for me
excessive it's 50 degrees man
it's like cooking yourself you don't go
to get a tan there you go to cook
yourself okay it's excessive more than
you want
but every once in a while small once in
a while i can only even think of two
examples to give you that's the truth
two can be positive remember i said it's
usually negative the red it can be
positive i'll give you example
you're too kind you come and see me
every time i put a video out oh i love
you
and what i mean by that is you're very
kind it's very nice of you to do this
i'm not saying it's too much it's not
it's very nice of you
and sometimes well if you're on a subway
and you come visit canada or you see a
british person and they say would you
like my chair you can say you're too
generous
it's i almost want to say no because
your generosity is too much
much but in this case once again it's
very positive
smiley face not like this guy sad mouth
smiley
okay before we forget don't forget to is
an adverb because it can modify
adverbs other adverbs and other
adjectives and verbs
cool all right
now finally this is the interesting one
two
notice i said there's one two
two o's it's because two is enough but
then we add on another o and it's two
because we mean in addition addition
comes from the base add it means you add
something to something else
example
mr e likes cake and i like it too
one plus one more than one right now we
can use this with an object cake or a
verb
he went and i went to
notice how two follows went because i'm
saying
additionally
adding on
you like that good
we've covered two and excessive and it's
usually let's quickly go over it well
not too quickly i'm using it again see i
said not too quickly not excessively two
means excessive and excessive as we know
is more than you need or want
two can be positive
very few cases
right very kind very generous so the
ones that come to my mind right away
and finally two is as well because we
have one o plus two just like the number
two has one plus one it means in
addition and additionally and look we
also have two an object or a verb it can
be used for easy to remember right good
now i told you two and so get confused
i'm going to tell you how they're
similar and that's why this diagram has
this funny part where it's red and blue
but we're going to work specifically on
so now are you ready
so let's go
all right
all right so
what does so mean
so la tido well we're not singing but
what we're trying to get at is extent
extent
and because it's an adverb when we use
it we use it with things like quickly
or shortly right so
i'm using it again so so so it's got to
be an important word right for instance
i can say he speaks so quickly it's hard
to understand him notice how it differs
i said two was excessive excessive meant
too much the water was coming out so
means to an extent how much how fast
and it means like very in its own way
you like that one okay
what about another one
ah
so quietly
she moved so quietly nobody noticed
it's not too quietly
it's so quietly and we're saying very
how much how quietly
you like that good so we have two
examples now
too quickly
sorry so quickly and so quietly and they
mean to what extent and how much extent
is like a measurement it's a measurement
that's what this means like the maximum
on the minimum of something extent to
what extent did they do this all right
now i have to explain something to you
when we said so and two are similar
similar is a special word because it
means
same but there is a difference and now i
have to teach you what that difference
is
right
in this case they're the same because
this is where the diagram meets
extremely and excessive are usually
very far end the very far end of
something so when something's extremely
hot it's something like there's hot and
then there's hot
it's so hot when it's too hot it means
here's the limit and you go past it okay
do you remember this
two
excessive
too much
so is the measurement and when we say it
this way for extremely which means
emphasis we usually mean on the maximum
part the furthest part
give an example
the soup was so hot i had to leave it
and eat it an hour later
it's not that it was too hot i could
never eat it it was just so hot
i gotta wait
i wait 10 minutes it's okay now so hot
but you know what the soup was so good i
asked for a second bowl
emphasis it was so good i loved it all
right
and my girlfriend is so hot you want to
go see her yeah that's right
i know some of you asked if i'm married
to got a girlfriend i got a cat
that's right a cat
who is so annoying i want to get a woman
but that's another issue see emphasis
okay emphasis is extremely in this case
now
we talked about where they're the same
and i told you about
excessive
and extremely and that's how they share
this strange area here but once again
they have separate circles for a reason
so is positive smiley face
but so also has a meaning that two
doesn't have and that's conjunction
conjunction con junction means to put
things together and you know what this
is because of the special word
and and is a conjunction or but it's a
big fancy word for saying putting two
ideas together right that's how we make
complex sentences
so in this case conjunction
and when we use it we actually mean thus
or therefore
you hear these in these big books you
know the books with you see 500 pages
they charge you a hundred dollars they
have to put words therefore he said to
the people thus we shall walk
yeah if you know recognize that voice is
from the batman movie
the last installment great so great
emphasis mine you gotta see it two
that one all right conjunction
i wasn't feeling well
so i went to the doctor it's not
extremely extent it's saying i wasn't
feeling well so i had to go to the
doctor i bring the two ideas together
okay
how about this one it was cold out so
i got my jacket
i got my jacket because it was cold i
want to bring these ideas together i
don't have to say and which is the
normal conjunction i can say so
all right and
finally i think this video is over
i think so
no not quite but here's the example of
truth
a lot of times you can hear canadians
say i think so or i thought so and what
they're telling you is not conjunction
not extent
not extremely they're actually trying to
tell you
i thought it was true
was it raining yesterday i thought so
did he bring the book i think so
i believe or i think it's true
okay if you like that i do
