Hello, my name is Emma, and in today's video, I am going to teach you English for life. So what do I mean by that? Well, there are many important English expressions and words we use when we talk about life events and life stages. I've drawn here a timeline to kind of show you what I mean. So in this video, I am going to teach you some key expressions or words when we're talking about people and their birth or when they are born. We're going to talk about some key words about school and education, some key words and expressions for work, for when people get married and have families, for retirement, and then for when people die. So many of us are in different stages of our lives, and so whether you're talking about yourself or someone else, we use these words a lot. I've also noticed many learners make mistakes with a lot of the words I'm going to teach you today.
So let's look at an example of this. We'll start with birth words, and then we'll move through life. Many learners have trouble with the word "birth" and "born". They don't know how to talk about birth. So, I want us to do a practice quiz, and then afterwards, I'll tell you the answer and explain. So my question is, which is correct? Do we say, "I born in Canada."? I borned in Canada with ED. I birthed in Canada. I am born in Canada, and notice there's no ED here, or I was born in Canada without ED. So which of these is the right way to talk about where our birth happens? Well, if you said answer number five, you are correct. The way we talk about birth and being born is we say, "I was born in Canada." So I see a lot of learners making mistakes with this specifically, so let's see some more examples of this and practice this.
So let's look at different subjects and how we use "born" with them. So, "I" is a subject, "was", "born". Again, when we use "born", we need something before it, either "was" or "were". I was born in - we often use the preposition "in" with "born", and we can say either a year or a place. I was born in Canada. I was born in Toronto. I was born in - I'm not going to tell you the year I was born, I don't want you to know my age, but just for practice, I was born in 1954.
Okay, we can also do "you". "You" is a subject, and now because we need the subject to match the verb, we have "were". You were born in - and then you can put a year or a place. He or she - so he was born in, she was born in, and again, you end up with a year or a place. We were born in - and they were born in. So pay close attention just for the agreement with "they" and "were", "we were", "he was", "she was", "you were", "I was". Alright, and again, notice there is no "ed" with "born", so we say "I was born", no "ed" needed.
Alright, so how can you use this in a conversation? Well, we often ask people questions about their birth. So we might ask somebody, "Where were you born?" And this is a great question to memorize. So we have "where", our question word, so we want to know the place, "were you born?" And again, notice our "be" verb is just right after "were", and then we have our subject word, and these two need to be in agreement, they need to match, "Where were you born?" So you can say this out loud, practice it, "Where were you born?" You might ask somebody, "When?" Women often don't like this question, but just so you can see how to ask the question, you can say, "When were you born?" Or maybe we're talking about someone else, "When was she born?", "When was Taylor Swift born?", "When was Drake born?" So this is how we would use this question. So I have some examples down here. Like I mentioned before, if we use the year, we can have the preposition "in". She was born in 1984. She was born in May. So we can also use it for a month, but if we are using a specific birthday, we need to use "on". She was born on May 24th, 1984. He was born on December 31st, 1982. […] Receive SMS online on sms24.me
