I love that I get to make these lessons for you lovely people and I've been meaning to make this lesson for ages, but I haven't managed to find the time but this week I happen to have some free time, so I'm doing what I'm supposed to do, oh my god did you understand that like 50,70 percent, well don't worry after today's lesson, you'll be able to understand all of what I just said and you'll know five new and extremely useful expressions which you can start using and really take your English to
the next level.
[Music]
with all of my videos make sure you have a pen and paper next to you make notes make your own examples of what I'm teaching you, put those examples in the comments so everyone can learn together today's first expression, "managed to" when something is difficult but you can do it, you use this expression the most common example could be I have a test tomorrow, it will be difficult but I'll manage what we're saying is yes, it's difficult,
but I can do it, I'll manage, but that's the short way another example could be okay ,you have tickets to a Beyonce concert and you really really want to get a selfie with Beyonce, that's almost impossible but let's imagine you go to the concert and I got a selfie with Beyonce, I didn't this is just an example
you want to say, it was difficult there were lots of people who wanted a selfie with Beyonce but you did it you you did it you can say I managed to get a selfie with Beyonce, just remember that managed to, it just means this was difficult, but I did it okay let's imagine you went to the concert you tried to get a selfie.
but it was too difficult hmm it's very sad how do you say this in the negative form ,I didn't manage to get a selfie with Beyonce it was too difficult too many people so in the negative you're saying it was difficult I tried I wasn't successful I didn't manage to blah blah blah okay, how about in a question easy you see someone holding two heavy bags,
it looks difficult so you want to ask are you okay or do you need help can you manage or do you need help of course we use the short form version here because the long form version is can you manage to carry those heavy bags alone, you don't need to say that we already know the context we know what you want to say so can you manage that's enough so create your own examples and write them in the comments what have you tried and been successful at what have you tried and failed at using manage to in the positive and the negative another very common way we could use manage to
is in this question for example someone starts a new job and you project a new course in school some new or difficult situation we might ask oh how are you managing in your new school how are you managing in your new job how are you managing with that whole situation it's difficult but how are you he wants to reply it's not easy but I'm ok will change I'm ok too
it's not easy but I'm managing or in the negative it's too much I can't manage it for some reason it's too much too much work it's too difficult he can say I can't manage you might be wondering ok is that the same as cope then because you would say I can't cope yes in that context it's the same in positive yeah it's not easy but I'm coping in the negative yeah it's not easy I can't cope our next expression is happened to imagine you're walking in London you're walking down Oxford Street and you're thinking damn Beyonce is cool I wish I could meet her one day and just then BAM you bump into Beyonce Oh bump into literally it means you a person oh sorry so you could say I literally bumped into someone
but casually bump into it just means you you meet someone by chance so you're thinking about Beyonce and then BAM you bump into her by chance this is a big coincidence so you want to say that something happened by chance you replace the by chance we've happened to oh and then of course that's no past anymore because the past is here I happened to bump into Beyonce today oh my god I was thinking about Beyonce and then I happened to bump into her so in a negative you could use it like this boyfriend and girlfriend they're fighting this guy went out with his friends and his girlfriend was calling him a lot but he didn't answer ,hmm why is that oh you were calling me
oh I'm sorry I didn't see see I didn't check my phone all night oh really you just didn't happen to check your phone so remember I said happen to something happens or doesn't happen by chance by coincidence because what she's really saying is her I'm calling you and calling you that's a big coincidence that you didn't check your phone so when you don't believe something you could use it like that now as you know British people we like to ask questions and talk in a ridiculously polite way, so in questions we use happen to most commonly to make a question really really really ridiculously polite but it's also very common let me show you
a normal question like do you have any free time today that's fine but remember to make it more polite you could just add happen to do you happen to have any free time today sorry for existing this is just a more polite way of asking any question because it's more indirect again try to use happen to in the comments I will correct you our next expression is get - ah get I know right it's a stupid word but a really useful way of using get is get - when you have a special opportunity to do something or you're given a special ability to do something you can use get - for example this week is a very busy week for you
you're working hard all week but at the weekend you're free you have that special opportunity to sleep as much as you want you can say I'm working hard all week but I get to sleep lots at the weekend we're just saying that get to is your special opportunity usually you're working hard but at the weekend you have that special opportunity to sleep how would you use this in a negative usually you get to sleep a lot but last night your cat was me know all night you could say I didn't get to sleep much last night because my cat was meowing how could you use get to in a question.
she is traveling to New York for business and her friend wants to ask oh my god you're going to New York on business is it all work or will you get to enjoy the city we're asking will you have the ability will you have that special opportunity to enjoy the city and other examples okay for me personally I do YouTube videos I teach online so I'm lucky I get to work from home also as a negative okay
I'm a Londoner I'm very busy inside London most of the time so I don't get to leave London very often I don't have that opportunity very often so again use your own examples put them in the comments I'll try and correct you the next one is very misused and very misunderstood be supposed to the most common use of be supposed to is an expectation it's the weekend you decide
I'm going to the beach today you check the weather sunny perfect but then you arrive at the beach and it's raining you were expecting sunny weather you can express your expectation with be supposed to it was supposed to be sunny today they expected it to be sunny also when you're talking about things you've heard about something you can use be supposed to for example have you seen Book of Mormon no is it good yeah I heard some things it's supposed to be funny
and it is it's hilarious you should go see it it could also be used for rules of what you're allowed to do or not allowed to do for example let's look at the negative of this hey you're not supposed to smoke in here but there is a feeling with be supposed to that it's not exactly a hard strict rule it's more of an expected rule what exactly do I mean by that well think of social rules things that you're expected to do socially for example someone invites you
to their house for dinner they are going to cook for you as a guest what is expected of you to do for example in England you're expected to bring wine so I'll use be supposed to you're supposed to bring wine again I'm just saying that's the expected thing to do so in your country if you go to someone's
house what are you supposed to do or what are you not supposed to do tell me in the comments the question I usually get about this is okay it's a rule is it the same as I have to the answer's no and I'll show you why for example two friends are talking then one checks the time
oh my god it's five o'clock now I have a plan to meet my other friend in minutes so she could say I'm supposed to meet my other friend or she could say I have to meet my other friend do they mean the same thing no if she says I have to meet my other friend she's leaving that's her obligation so she will
definitely leave this friend to go see her other friend however if she says I'm supposed to meet my other friend
remember that be supposed to implies an expectation her friend is expecting her but it's not an obligation so if this friend is more fun then maybe she will stay sorry I'm sick I can't come to meet
you so again be supposed to yes it's a rule but it's more of an expected rule you can also use be supposed to to show your intention this couple is on holiday and this guy has a plan has an intention
to ask her to marry him
this is his engagement ring everything's going well until an engagement ring are you going to propose but oh no that wasn't his intention he wanted to hide it he wanted it to be a surprise so he'll say this ah
you weren't supposed to see it was supposed to be a surprise he's talking about his intention in both positive and negative I wanted it to be a surprise I didn't want you to see it that wasn't my intention now our final expression been meant to we can use this in the same way when we talk about intention so we could easily just change this to this you weren't meant to see it was meant to be a surprise and also it works for those rules in the same way as be supposed to
for example remember the guy smoking will change that so you could replace be supposed to with be meant to you're not meant to smoke in here read the sign in the passive form it means the same thing
but you can use this in an active form how you know those moments when you're walking and you you bump into someone what you hit someone but it was an accident you didn't want to hit the person you can express yourself by saying oh I'm sorry sorry I didn't mean to hit you so in the active form mean - that is only for your intention what you want to do another example could be I bought this book a year ago I've been meaning to read it but I haven't had time so again you're just saying you wanted to read it it was your intention
to read it but you didn't and finally you could use this when you want to say you're just joking remember it's about intention so if you want to say no no I'm joking or if someone misunderstood
what you said you can use it this way oh my god gluten-free people are so dumb um yeah I have celiac disease am I done no no I didn't mean it like that you're fine but people without the allergy when they're gluten-free that's dumb thanks
