Hi there I'm Drew Badger the world's number 1
English Fluency Guide and today I'd like
to know if you can solve this advanced
English fluency puzzle so a lot of
people because they don't understand the
the root meanings of maybe even basic
verbs they have a lot of trouble
understanding things that they get two
more difficult more complex uses of
herbs especially with phrasal verbs
we're taking a bourbon combining it with
something else so you might learn the
word run where you're just thinking of
the idea of physically running but if
you understand and expand that idea run
to include maybe something that's
spinning around like an engine you can
also talk about time running like time
running out or water running so all
these different things were talking
about the motion of something as opposed
to only the idea of being able to run
with your feet so when we get to the
root of what a verb actually means it
becomes much easier to understand now
let's get into this kind of quiz that we
have here it's really it's a simple
problem if you expand your understanding
of what these things mean but let's look
at the screen right now and just we've
got we've got let's see a couple of
words appear we've got see look we've
got get and we've got something else so
we want to know what's the connecting
thing here and so I wanted to talk we'll
talk kind of briefly about what this
fluency puzzle is and see if you can
think of the word that goes in that ?
space and then we'll take that word and
then we'll expand upon it to show you
why it fits in that space but first
let's just talk about the words that we
can see looking at the difference
between C and look when you're seeing
something this is a more passive we have
maybe absorbing or you're receiving
information I could be looking in a
particular direction but then maybe I
don't see something because it's not
really coming i'm not receiving that
idea so look is a much more active thing
you're looking at something or you're
watching a particular thing its you
actively looking at something but when
you see something maybe you notice
something so something it's more like
coming into your eyes as opposed to your
eyes going out and looking at that thing
so the connection between C and look
it's very similar like that they're both
talking about using your eyes to get
some kind of information but the looking
at something is an active thing where
you're looking around you're actively
going out and looking at something in
particular and then you're connecting
with that information by seeing it so
the connection here and this is a very
simple idea but it's it's actually very
important if you're trying to think
about more broader understandings or
broader uses of these verbs looking
again at the difference between look and
see look as a whole process of were
actively searching for something or
actively paying attention to something
whereas see is just something at the
moment right when something hits our
field of vision and we notice it so
looking is more of a longer process and
seeing is something that happens right
at that moment now we can talk about
maybe seeing a movie but again this is
just trying to describe it as more of a
passive thing as opposed to looking at
the movie you don't really look at a
movie you receive that information
that's why we call it scene and we use
the verb watch when we're talking about
more actively looking at something for a
long time so that's why we talk about
watching TV or watching a movie but if
we talk about the actual receiving of
the information in a passive way we're
seeing a movie so I saw a movie last
week I was watching the movie but I was
getting information as well so as that
information hit my eye and my brain I
was seeing that information so what's
the connection between those things and
then get in the other verb that we have
there as well
in the case of get it's a lot like see
and this means we're receiving something
at a particular moment and we're talking
about the moment when that thing happens
it's a process but it's more talking
about the actual moment when we receive
something i could buy something i could
get something for free from a friend of
mine or I could maybe find something but
it's only when it maybe touches my hand
so I'm like maybe someone is throwing a
baseball at me I'm throwing something up
in the air and I catch it and write as I
catch it
I get that thing but the thing that
we're trying to translate if we want to
make this connection in this puzzle if
get is like see then what it looked like
when we see something we're talking
about that moment right when we see
something
and when we get something we're talking
about right at that moment when we
receive that thing again it doesn't
matter how we do it doesn't matter how
we see something but we see if we're
talking about right at that moment as
opposed to watching something which is
more of a process so in the same way if
you want to talk about receiving
something but the process you're talking
about like moving it from one place to
another
this is take to take something so the
answer to our little quiz here our
little riddle or puzzle is take so if
you think about trying to some maybe
somebody taking a particular saying
we're talking about the entire process
of something not just the moment when
you actually get something as an example
I might take a test so i'm experiencing
a whole process of something i'm in the
middle of taking something now this is a
more figurative way of understanding the
verb to take what I'm talking about
something over a long period of time to
take something i'm taking a test i'm in
the middle of the test but then at the
end i get my score so I get a particular
score and I get it at that moment as
opposed to describing a particular
length of time now just to make sure you
understand this i want to go over a
whole bunch of these different uses of
take and help you understand how it's
more of a process we're talking about
something traveling from one place to
another whether that is you moving or
whether that is maybe a physical thing
or something moving you it doesn't
really matter but these are all examples
of taking they're describing a process
as opposed to something like get where
we're talking about that instant of
touching something of receiving
something you can take the wheel when
you're driving so this means you're
putting your hands on something and it
shows you moving to that thing to hold
that object now just thinking about very
quickly the difference between taking
someone's hand and holding someone's
hand these are really the same thing
when you're talking about it in a
conversation away but the difference is
actually quite interesting if you hold
someone's hand typically you're
describing actually like your hands are
already connected to each other you're
holding hand and whether you're moving
like you're walking down the street with
someone you're holding hands with them
you can just describe the connection is
already been made you're holding
something in your head
but if you take someone's hand this
means you move your hand up to that
person and you actually grasp their hand
you move your hand to take their hand
you're moving something again you're
talking about the whole process not just
holding the hand but actually moving
from your location to their location so
it's the whole length of the process so
it's not just like getting some one hand
you're taking someone's hand in the same
way you can also take a seat
so instead of just sitting down you're
moving to a particular location and then
you're holding that thing so it's not
just like getting a particular seat when
you get the seat you're describing that
one instance of now the seed is mine so
the seed has moved from somebody else's
or it was maybe nobody else's feet but
it's mine now but if I'm taking my see
it means i'm standing up and we're
describing me sitting down and then
taking that thing so it's the whole
movement from in one position to
something else or I could do take out
some if I'm at a restaurant and I want
to carry some food and go out of the
restaurant with that i am taking that
food out and moving that food with you
know the intention to go outside of that
restaurant but it's talking about the
whole experience of moving from one
place to another
now I could be moving from a particular
situation from one place to another and
that's why we talk about taking a plane
or taking a taxi or taking a train so
I'm I'm like I'm the one being moved but
again we're describing that whole that
whole situation in the same way we can
also talk about time we can talk about
one person moving from one activity to
another so it took me three hours that's
saying like the spanned from one o'clock
to four o'clock it took me three hours
to take my test or it took me four hours
to go swimming or it took me 10 hours to
do something we're talking about the
experience of something taking a
particular amount of time so I'm
controlling something for particular
amount of time but that's why we use
take and not get in these instances
we're still holding something or
controlling something but get again only
refers to that moment when you finally
take possession of something when you
have possession and you're moving with
that thing that's when you take it now I
know some non-native speakers will have
trouble understanding things like take a
bath
or take a test because in British
English people will often use different
expressions like I'll have a bath as
opposed to North American English where
we will talk about taking a bad again
we're talking about the experience
itself as opposed to like the I mean the
meaning is basically there and the same
in a conversation away but if you're
really listening carefully or thinking
about the difference between where the
way we're explaining these two verbs to
have a basket means you're kind of
receiving that whole experience but to
take a bath means you're going through a
whole experience from the first time you
start the bath and then you go through
and then you're taking an experience so
that's why we describe something is like
taking a bath or taking a trip or taking
a test all of these things are ways of
describing a period of time elapsing but
your instead of maybe controlling a
physical thing you're controlling and
experience the whole point of this video
is to get you to expand the way you
think so that way when you're listening
to a new verb or even a basic verb that
you already know you can begin thinking
about different ways you might apply it
but that also changes your understanding
of the verb itself if you have enjoyed
this video do like it and do share this
video with other people that also have
maybe some trouble with their grammar
want to think more like native speakers
and understand and improve their use of
grammar in general and if you have a
particular verb that maybe you don't
know so well or you'd like to learn more
about to let me know in the comments
section down below so i can take that
and possibly make a video maybe even
produce a series of videos out of this
that people really find them interesting
but there really are so many things that
you can take even something that may be
sounding quite basic and it actually has
a much more complicated and interesting
usage or way of thinking about it and if
you can take this then it will actually
help you become a confident fluent
speaker much much faster to learn more
about improving your grammar especially
if you have trouble understanding things
are you really want to be able to speak
more confidently click on the link in
this video to take our free fluency quiz
it's the real thing that will actually
determine what you should be focusing on
and it will give you specific advice
just for your situation that will help
you improve the worst thing the most
difficult thing that you struggle with
it
we look forward to helping you with that
at English anyone dot-com have a
fantastic day and i'll see you in the
next video bye bye
