 Okay. Hello everyone. Welcome back to my live stream. I'm Robin Shaw and I hope everyone can hear me and see me okay. And it's been I guess a week since I did my last live stream. So will I do live stream every Sunday? I will try. I will do my best. Today we're gonna have a grammar lesson. But before I get into that, I'm just gonna check the chat. And I can see a lot of people. You guys have been busy in the chat talking. Let's see what's happening here. Hey Fran, finally you are back. Yeah, well I'm back. And Layla says, hi Robin. How have you been up to? The question is a little awkward. You should say what have you been up to? I've been doing the same thing. Actually today I got the shot injection. So I'm feeling my arm is sore. So that was my first injection. My arm is sore. And I feel a little sick today. But I still have to do the live stream. Who else is here? Dwee. Hello. I'm gonna, Michelle. Well, there we go. Hello, Michelle. Good to see you here. Sleepwalkers. Some old names. Going down. I'm not reading because I got to get into the lesson. I'm not gonna read everything. Maudi is here. Hello. Arnoushe is. Hello. Welcome back. And Layla says, I love this channel so much because I learned a lot from it. I'm thankful to you Robin. Thank you very much Layla. I miss talking to you. Of course, Tika is here. Hello. Alright. Tika is here so we can start. Congratulations to you for getting your first shot. Yeah. Korea is a little slow to get the shots. I'll get my second shot at the end of the month. Okay, as I said, we're talking about grammar today. And I've talked about this grammar before on this channel. It's the subject verb agreement is one grammar point. And the third person singular is another grammar point. Now, if you don't understand what that is talking about, that's not so important. It's not important you understand the name of the grammar. It is important that you know how to use the grammar. So I'll talk about that today. Because a lot of my students still have problem with this grammar subject verb agreement means your subject and the verb must match in terms of number in a sentence. I'll explain that again in detail later. And third person singular is using he she it like that. So what I'm going to do is I'm going to start off a little bit of a review of these grammar points. Then I'm going to get into some examples of these grammar points. And then at the end of the lesson, there's actually a quiz and some homework. So keep watching so you can do the quiz and homework at the end. If you have any questions during the lesson, just ask. Okay, this is a live stream. So it's important. I teach you but I also answer any questions you have. Yep, that's my first shot. Okay. So this is you're going to understand the grammar we're talking about just by this sentence here. Watching too much TV and then give gives me sore eyes. And I'm not going to tell you the answer. We'll talk about this specific example later. But you know, a lot of my students have trouble knowing exactly is that a give or gives you can put your guess below. I'm not going to give you the answer yet. We'll talk about it later. Alright, so let's talk about the third person singular. And again, I'm not teach I don't want to teach you the name of the grammar. But you should know what we're talking about. It's not important you remember, or that's the third person singular. But it is important to this lesson. So let's just go through this chart on the left. You see subject pronoun I is the first person singular. So we just call that whenever we're using I, it's my experience. And this is the third person singular. So this is what we're going to focus on today. The third person singular is when you're using he she it in the simple present tense, we're going to focus. And this is where a lot of my students have trouble. So we'll talk about that. And just so you know, you is second person singular. I'm talking, there's two people I'm talking to another person you. And then we first person plural, there's two of us, we and second, second person plural, they were talking about other people. So again, we don't really need to memorize this chart. Just know what I'm going to focus on is the third person singular and he she it. And there it is, we're using it with simple present tense verbs. So he, he well, we have I like he likes she likes it likes you like we like they like but of course, we know he she it likes. You could look at the B verb I am he is she is it is you are we are they are but we're not going to talk about the B verb in this video, we're just going to look at regular verbs. We could also talk about have has I have he has she has you have we have again, we're not going to talk about that in this video. And you could also talk about I do he does she does it does this chart is the basic basic of English grammar. So make sure you know this chart. But again, in this video, we're not talking about the B verb have has or do does we're just going to focus on he she it and the basic verb. Alright, so with he she it sometimes you have to add an s. She eats apples. Alright, so she and the third person singular we must add the s. So sometimes you add s. She's apples. Sometimes you have to add ES. So this is a quick review. I'm not going to spend too much time teaching it. I want to get into the examples quick. So he watches TV. So when do you add ES very quickly when a word ends in SS like dress, you would add ES. So any word that ends in SS, you add ES with sh wishes, CH punches. So these words, you're going to add ES x fixes, z buzzes, and the oh goes and does. Okay, so sometimes you'd ask she's apples. Sometimes you have to add the ES. So anywhere that ends with those letters, we would add ES. This is a quick review. I'm hoping you students already know this. And sometimes you have to add IS. So the baby cries is my example. You see the baby cries, IES. But when do we add IES? Well, when you have a verb like by, by is a consonant be vowel, you consonant Y. When you see vowel, you consonant Y, you just add s. So by buys, play plays, enjoy enjoys they just add s. But when you have fly, consonant, consonant, consonant. Yeah, that Y will change to IES. Fly flies, try tries, cry cries. Okay, so that's very quickly when we're using he she or it, does the verb need s ES or IES? All those are possible. This is just a quick review. And again, never add s on the verb for negatives. So she doesn't eat apples. So she eats apples. She doesn't eat apples. Okay, so doesn't makes the sentence a negative. It's it's not happening. So in this case, we never add s ES or IS for negatives. And questions. So if we have a question, like, does she eats apples? No, we don't put that s. Does she eat apples? Okay, so this can be confusing to negatives and questions. We don't add that s ES or IES. And a little bit about models. I'm not going to teach models in this video, but we don't ask we don't add s ES is for models. So she can sing. She sings. If it was just she and sing, we would say she sings, but she can sing. Yeah, we don't say she can sing snow. So can might will must should. These are models. If they're before the verb, we don't add an s. Yes, right. Yes. So all these rules, right? All of these rules. All right, let's get into the examples. We're gonna start off easy. We're gonna get a little bit more difficult. And then remember, at the end, we'll have a little bit of we'll have a quiz. So example one, you now is your time to type in your answer. She eat this. This is the these are the easy ones. So I hope you get these. Marty, didn't you miss me? Yes, Marty, I miss you. I hope we can talk more in the chat. My world alone. Hello, Slamet super Johto. Hello. Okay, just type the answer. Eat or eats. Sleepwalkers always quick. She eats. Okay, this is the easy one. And I'm not gonna spend too much time on this. This is this is the basic. So yeah. She eats. She eats pizza. Number two. We're already we're going fast here. They study, they studies English. What's the answer? Quickly, guys, get your thumbs moving. If you're watching on your phone, they study or they studies English. Again, these are the easy ones. You should get these ones. She wants to eat. Do we if you use want, that's your verb, she wants, then you add the verb is want, you add the s there, she wants to eat pizza. Alright, there we go. Study. Everyone's quick typing study, study, study. Yeah. So study, they is not he she or it. It's not he she or it. No s no. Yes, I es. They study English number three. He thinks thinks about his dog a lot. And they study English, negative sentence, don't put s. Yes, I s with the verbs very helpful. Okay, thank you for your comment. Yeah. A lot of students don't understand the negative. We don't add the s. Yes, I s. Okay, what's your answers? There's a little bit of a delay. So I think there's about a 20 second delay. Alright, here comes the answers. He thinks thinks thinks. Alright, good, good, good. He she it. We had that s. Yes, I s. There it is. Okay, number four, we were on example four, and you're wanting how many examples are there? Well, there's actually 32 examples. These are the easy ones will get a little more difficult. And by the end of this video, you'll know, you master third person. And third person singular and subject verb agreement. My world alone, right? We write, I think he thinks, right, right, right, right. And right is right. We write letters. Number five, very quickly, it work works very well. What is it? I don't know. But it work or works very well. My world alone has the fast thumbs. Yeah, he shear it, we have to add that s works, it works very well. Alright, moving on. This another easy one, I dream dreams every night. Quick, quick, quick. Rules clear. Yeah, the rules clear. These are the easy ones. Do we if we have two verbs near the subject? Depending on it should be the first verb, the verb directly next to the subject. I dream. Alright, I dream every night. There we go. Alright, now, get going to the next level. This should be easy for a lot of you. When we have now we're not using he she or it anymore. Now we're using people or places or things we're using many things for for different subjects. We're not directly saying the subject I he she it you we they so we have to kind of think what is the subject associated with that. So I have Robin teach teaches English. And of course, Robin is me if you don't know that by now. And of course, I am a he. So yeah, you guys are right. We should substitute. It's associated with he Robin teaches English. He teaches English. That's the same thing. Now, if we have my cat, my cat lick licks my arm. Well, actually, I don't have a cat. I wish I had a cat. But, okay, I see a lot of you got the teachers in dream. Tito live hello Tito live. Alright, we got the licks my cat. So what is my cat is my cat he she or it? Oh, sleepwalker car licks. Interesting car. Oh, you fixed it cat. So cat can be he can be she or can be an it usually if it's a pet. And we know if it's a male or female, we call it a he or she. And if we don't know about the animal, it's not a pet, we can call it an it so it doesn't matter if it's a he she or it still follows the same grammar, it's going to be licks with an s. Alright, my students. Yeah, my world alone, maybe he or she or it typos are okay. I probably have some typos in my PPT here. If you see a typo, let me know. My cat is an animal. It's usually an it but you're going to hear a lot of native speakers referred to their cat as he or she my students. So my students, there we go plural. This is plural. Many, many students you see that as when you see that as right away, you know, you know, it's going to be a they. So my students talk a lot, they talk a lot. That's the same. Going on to the next one. The flower, we have a verb here emit or emits, emit kind of means spread out from the flower coming out of the flower. That's emit or emits. So the flower, no matter how close you are with your pet, your pet is still it. So the flower is certainly an it. It's one flower. It emits. We need that as an odor. And what is an odor? Some sort of smell. All right. Easy, easy. The school opened opens at eight. We're referring to a building, an actual building now odor or odor. I probably would say that's a difference in American British spelling. British ad to you. And yeah, again, the school opens at eight. All right. Iron man. Superhero from the Avengers. What does he do? Iron man. School isn't it. Marine chimisee. Hello, welcome. And this says here, welcome. Mo, Mo, Ian, Harlem. Hello. So Iron man save saves the world. Of course, that should be easy. Iron man is definitely a he. It's a he we had that as he saves the world. All right. His mother want wants him to finish college. What's going to happen there? Rajeeb Hassan BD saves. We're gonna get difficult with these don't worry. Tika he saves the USA only not the world. Yes, maybe American superheroes like to save only America. All right, so you guys got the answers. His mother which is definitely a she his mother only one mother she wants him to finish college his mother wants him to finish college. And here is the important sentence. Very, very important sentence here. Canadians tend or tends to be very nice. This is a fact. Canadians tend or tends to be very nice. Hello, Jonathan. And yep, Canadians you see that s is talking about meant it's not just talking about me. It's talking about many Canadians. So that's definitely they tend to be very nice. Canadians tend to be very nice. Okay. Okay, let's get a little more complicated here. We might see some big words governmental and non governmental organization need or needs money. governmental and non governmental organizations need or needs money. Moid hallum Canadians tend not tends. Canadians is plural. Yes, Rajeeb. It is a fact Anna. That is 100% fact. Nice to see you. Nice to see your words, Jonathan. I can't see you. Oh, great. Hello. All right. So yeah, you don't want to be confused with big words. All I'm going to look at is organizations with that s I know there's two of them governmental and non governmental at least two. But it's talking about many. So that's definitely a they need money governmental and non governmental organizations, they need money. All right, many people around the world eat or eats rice. Thank you, Jonathan. It's getting a little more difficult. There's some really difficult ones later. Starting off easy, slowly getting difficult. Jonathan, you have a little bit of a delay. Alright, so many people, people uncountable. Many people, they eat rice. Many people around the world eat rice, they eat rice. Alright, and this one's easy. I just I made this one to show that we might have a long sentence. And in your long sentence, you have to make the subject and the verb agree in number. So Robin is a he. So edit every verb in that sentence has to follow the rule. So Robin makes videos, uploads videos, and replies to comments. Okay, so doesn't matter how long that sentence is, you got to make sure all the verbs match Robin, he one person. Alright, so Robin, Robin makes videos, uploads videos and replies to comments. All of those have s s is. Okay. Example 18. Changing to recyclable materials help helps us to save the environment. What's happening here? This help or helps own comes in with helps sleepwalker helps. A jeeb is help and it helps. Slam it helps. Marty help. Yeah. Okay, so this one got mixed answers. Okay, we got I think it's 50 50 between help and helps. This is a difficult one then. It's difficult because we can't identify the subject. What is the subject here? What is the subject a friend I'm confused. So the blue I'm focusing on that changing. And the subject here isn't it but what is the subject in the sentence changing to recyclable materials help helps us to save the environment. And yet, it isn't it. So this is changing is a gerund. This video is not going to talk about gerunds. I cannot teach gerunds in this video because just trust me this is called a gerund which functions as is now but looks like a verb ing. Just look changing to recyclable materials. That's an action. One action. When you're changing to recyclable materials that's one action. And one action, we're going to call an it. So when you see a gerund at the beginning of a sentence, that's probably one action. And that's going to be an it. So if it's an it, we need that s on helps. So changing to recyclable materials that one action helps us to save the environment. Let's go back to a little bit easier one. Remember there's 32 examples and then a quiz at the end. Number 19. My friends come comes to my house. Don't be scared. I'm just going to drink some water. This one should be easier. My friends they come that's an easy one. They come. My friend come comes to my house. Save water save the world. So excited while answering the examples. Yeah, you're doing well today, Leila. And my friend this so yeah, you this is my friends come plural they come my friend. He or she my friend could be here. She comes to my house. Okay. So I kind of put a little bit easy ones in the middle in case some late people came this one. My family often meet meets on holidays. I'm very curious the answer. My family often meet meets on holidays. Some water. It's very hot in the studio here. I got many lights on me. And as I said, I got the the shot today. So I have a little bit of a fever. Alright, Tika meets and a meets muddy meets sleepwalker meets a noosh meet Rajeeb meet Marine meets slam it meet my world alone meets Michel meets. Yeah, so my family confuses a lot of native speakers to because when we think of my family, we want to think of many people. It's plural. But my family falls into the special category called a collective noun, which means one group. So my family is one group one group. So it's an it. So if it's an it, we need s on the verb. So my family often meets on holidays. Other collective nouns team, my team plays my class visits. Okay, these are also collective nouns. So in this one, might be careful with family. My family often meets on holidays. Now native speakers might use meat, you might hear my off my family often meet on holidays. native speaker might say that but for the grammar, we should use it as a collective noun. If you want to use family with a they example 22 here says my family members often meet or meets on holidays. So my family members often and then this one family members, then it's talking about many people, it would be plural. Now it's a they. My family members often meet on holidays. Same as series. Yes. I didn't I'm not going to teach collective and these are, you know, jaren's collective nouns, not teaching all those in this video. Yeah, my family members often meet. So my family meets my family members meet. Try to remember that. All right, let's move on to example 23. We got a lot of information here. Example 23 says the book on my desk next to the two pencils discuss discusses economic issues. Monday, we had people earlier many people, which was a they people is not a collective noun. So example 23 the book on my desk next to the two pencils discuss discusses economic issues. We learned a collective noun a few months ago. Yeah, I'm glad you remember. This example means yeah, don't be confused by a lot of extra information and pencils has an s. The subject is the book. We're talking about the book. So yeah, in this case, yeah, the book, only the book is what we care about. It's one book. So it is an it it. So we must add es to discusses because if you see discuss ends with ss and any word that ends with ss, we have to add es. So the book on my desk next to the two pencils don't be confused by that extra information. The book discusses economic issues. All right, number 24. Reading before bed help helps me to sleep. Reading before bed help helps me to sleep. So we're on slide 24. Example 24 there are 32 examples and then a small quiz. Layla's quick with the thumbs helps sleepwalker helps sweet toon. I think you're a little bit delayed behind sweet toon discusses is correct. And everyone's here. So I'm happy that most people are getting this correct because you see that reading and you know, Oh, this is one of those jaren's again. So reading before bed, this one action one action reading before bed. It helps me to sleep. Tika even remember the first live stream. It was a Esther Wow. It's a long time ago Tika. So reading before bed helps me to sleep. It helps me to sleep. So we have another one of those jaren's. All right, number 25, the president's economic plans need needs a revision. It was talking about present tense. If I'm I don't remember that Tika, the president's economic plans need needs of revision. So my world loan says need of some water and Layla's needs sleepwalker need our new she's saying needs. Why are you saying needs? The president's economic plans. We just need that plans. There's many it's plural. So it's going to be a they the president's economic plans need no s revision. So they need a revision. Alright, number 26, Robin doesn't like likes lazy students. This example talks about plans and it is plural. That is correct. Like or likes Robin doesn't like likes lazy students. Like, like, like, like everyone's coming in with like. Bala, you seem to have a little delay need. Yeah, as a Oop, Marty, as I told you before, anytime you see a negative. That's a negative, we don't add the s on negatives. Robin doesn't like lazy students. So I got I got some of you negative form no s. Yeah, our new negative form. Alright, 27. Everybody need needs love. Everybody. Oops, you said ops, you need to say oops. Oops. He doesn't like not likes. Rajip, it's a negative. We don't add s. Yeah, everybody can be confusing because everybody. That sounds like a lot of people. I don't know if you can see this. It's a singular indefinite pronoun. So words like someone, somebody, something, anyone, anybody, anything, everyone, everything, one, each, neither, either. These are treated like a singular pronoun. Like everybody needs love, somebody needs love. Any, let's see, everyone needs food. So when you encounter these words, yeah, you got it, you got to put an s, yes, or I es on on these words, or the verbs following these, these words. So everybody needs love, including me. 28 few live lives here. Layla, I'm delayed five seconds for five seconds is a good delay. I'll tell you your delay. 123456789101112131415161718192021. I think everyone's around a 22nd delay. Tika, I don't need love. Good sentence. I need food to fill my stomach. Great. Alright, lives, lives, live, lives, live. Okay, this, this one is about how many people are wrong. Few live or lives here. So if I could say few people, well, this is a plural indefinite pronouns. So few, when you're talking about amount, few, several, many, both others. Yeah, we are treating it. It's associated more with a they I don't want you to think of they but it is an amount live here. Yeah, so that one's a little tricky. This one's confusing. Yeah, so you got to get to remember those words for the quiz. Few live here, few people live here. Few cockroaches live here. Example 29, walking while talking on your phone create creates a dangerous situation. Walking while talking on your phone create creates a dangerous situation. Is that create or creates muddy? Come on really? Those are the rules. All right, sleepwalker creates creates. I think you guys is in create. There's no all right. So you know, walking while talking this one action this one situation. So it's one with the gerund. So walking while talking, it's an it creates a dangerous situation creates. So when you see that verb ing the gerund, you know, it's probably not always. There are more complicated sentences. I don't have two complicated sentences today. These sentences are not too difficult. But there are worse examples. I'll do that in another video. But at a basic level. Yeah, you see a gerund. It's, if it's one situation, treat it like it. All right. Example 30. Too much information give gives me a headache. Robin, please give us more difficult examples to test our knowledge. In the future, Leila. Chunlin tally gatos creates welcome. Yep. Create maybe creates. Tika, you see that ing? You know, Robin's just giving a gerund. Walking while sleeping is okay. Your name is sleepwalker. And you're saying walking was you are a sleepwalker. Maybe that's why you chose your name because you like walking while you sleep. So information is uncountable now. There's no s but certainly too much information gives. So uncountable nouns, information water pollution, uncountable nouns, the next verb, s, yes, I yes. 31 is Robin tricking you here. Having a permanent and secure job provide provides financial safety for your family. Having a permanent and secure job provide provides financial safety for your family. I'm happy to see Tika put provides my world alone provides body provides Leila's with provide having a permanent and secure job. This is one action. Again, it's just one action. You see an and there's not it's just one situation. So we got to mentally this having a permanent and secure job. The focus is on the job, this type of job, this type of one job. This type, you got to think of having this job. So having a permanent and secure job provides financial safety for your family is one having that one job. You can describe the job many ways, permanent, secure, funny, amazing, but it's just that one having that job provides financial safety for your family. So again, having a verb ing is just treated like an eight. And number 32, Maverick channel, where is Esther teacher Esther is in California right now, she is not doing live streams right now, maybe in the future. I can't even read that name. NH something looks like some symbol provides. Okay, number 32, this is the last example. And then I'll talk about the quiz. My mother doesn't cook cooks dinner every night. You have a second chance with this one. I'm happy to see cook cook cook cook cook cook cook. We give a gift to the winner. As always, Marty, the gift is my smile. Marty is putting every answer. Of course, again, you should see that negative. And you know, right away, it's a negative, no, no ass on that cook. So my mother doesn't cook dinner every night. She doesn't cook dinner every night. Alright, so this was our beginning example. So you should be able to get that one easily. But I'm not going to tell you the answer. What I'm going to do is talk about quiz, just a quick quiz. So not right now, but later, I'll put, well, comment like share. That's your homework. Make sure you like the video that helps comment below, share it if you think someone would benefit from this lesson. I'm going to put a copy of this PPT on the website.
