Welcome to speed learning English your podcast for smarter English hello Richard hello's and how are you I am very excited because today we want to talk about grammar present participle. This was one of the worlds when I heard them in school during my English class. I went into a kind of, into a kind of shock because I knew immediately. This time I will say the test. Why is present participle so special to German students or two German people tell me something about this grammar are phenomenal. On the one hand, and the present participle isn't this isn't very very difficult really to understand and to apply in your everyday life but it is foreign to German-speaking people because it's not very often used in German. It's actually never used. In general this concept. Even though the languages are very similar is not in the German and German language concept. So that's why I love Germans hesitate to really look into it and dig into the present participle, but trust me, it's really easy so that difficult. Okay, present participle contains the word party so give me an example talking about a party using the present participle please. So I would I would start the different languages also start with and maybe the listeners are talking about present participle was present participle and present participle is also referred to as the uniform so there is a list right now that is wondering was present participle is also referred to as the ink form so we will hear a lot of him today so it's not very limited to a specific word critical results. Use McClellan's words and everything and and how we use it. For example, in the main sentence in the main clause has been alluded to with party and you would say she's partying and she's partying today that would be present past participle. You could also use it for the perfect continues so perfect tense. I've been waiting for two hours so you are demonstrating this effect at the same time, but also saying and demonstrating that they are still in the mode of waiting on the mode to wait for the present participle and helps me to talk about things that happened for a long time before for continuous time is it like in German we would say and party Martin Z the bar against the party Martin with that be a translation that would be the past perfect continues and I think that's a bit and in German. It's very difficult because the grammar screener constructed to go in that sense, but what you can understand is that it's past participle is always describing a motion or action that is continuous so it has started, but not really ended and for example for example, loving my wife makes life easier. Indeed, that's beautiful sentence part partying all night makes Corona easier to spread. That's true. So for example you are very focused on the past perfect continues example, you could say we had been walking for 30 minutes before Frank picked us up. So in that sense that the action has ended because you have stopped walking for 30 minutes but why describing the story or whatever you were doing this in part that you continued doing and whenever you are describing something that was continuous use of passports. I have been trying to understand the past participle for years and that's beautiful how you are you Inc. past participle is have you ever been considering using past participle for playing around a grammar game during the podcast. Let's start playing the grammar game. Richard and I say a phrase and you change it into the past participle or present participle or anything form you find appropriate okay I go home I am going. I visit my mom. I am visiting my mom. I love doughnuts what you would say I'm loving doughnuts. But here's a problem you can say I'm loving doughnuts but I'm loving doughnuts. I mean, I'm loving it is the slope of the famous and bad nutrition distribution center yes indeed. And the problem is the concept of love. I mean, that's a bit away from past participle concept of love is between human beings or so if you say and I'm loving so yeah you really so any theory, in theory, you can say that you agree that a loving my car, but you wouldn't. You wouldn't say that you would also bring in in the abstract of the car or the doughnut this sentence. The abstract of the of the being all of the thing."" Isn't in the sentence just to bring you have to make. You have to just show that we are talking about a thing, not a human okay and that's I think that's a trick that McDonald's used the went against grammar really acts and people and unconsciously think, what are they talking about an and it will just stick into your brain. And that's the marketing idea behind okay and and also they say I'm loving it so they bring in the abstract. Also okay so let's discontinue some examples yesterday I drove to my Israel drove to Munich so this past continues on yesterday I was driving to Munich and last week I learned English. Last week I was learning English. Okay, so now the listener should realize that it's really easy to make a phrase from present tends to present participle or from past tense. The past participle doesn't sound more elegant or is it simply correct. If you talk about the continuous happening or is it as you say the difference between easy English and advanced English surgery really have to understand and use these things while talking to other people or can I just talk to other people without using it so only one hand is not really frowned upon or looked or looked down upon. If you're using the power part of the present participle is perfectly fine to use it if you want to really show that you speak English in the various layers that the language offers. Then you could also use the mic and Canada been in the past perfect continues and I will give an example of that, and the future continues or the future perfect continues why the future could continues because as I mentioned before your describing a motion that has started but not ended. But if you're talking about the future. The motion is not even begun. So it's for example he would say next week I will be flying to Italy with the with the explanation of the starting motion and have been entered motion. The motion in this case hasn't even started, but you being yourself into the future. And because of you have landed in Italy. Yet it's continues. So I think that's where you get into the fancy realm of the English language in the future perfect continues would be, they will have been traveling around the world by the end of the year. So whenever you use have and have all had been or have been there as well. That's the very fancy way of using the present participle of the informed so I think that's that's that's that's the only two passwords gets been difficult, but other than that is very, very, very nice and easy way to use grammar effective. Okay so next time we will be talking about options for people who are planning to travel to Ghana and we will be explaining how people who are planning a trip to Ghana will be able to sightseeing to just getting stuck okay the next hour we will be talking about Ghana. We go on holiday and your mother country, and we will find some nice places to visit and some radio also some cultural differences so some do's and don'ts and we will be trying to use the present continues to present participle the past participle in the future. Progressive participle passive conditional all the grammar structures that we were talking about today. Next time, okay, you great is indeed excited and looking forward okay looking forward is also this participle is not yes indeed. But it's also a phrase that has come into just use that. You just used to look forward yes CSS, LKS, and because I'm talking about grandma and I'm trying to teach grammar very strict and abiding to the rules because the student is not very into English grammar so that the actual correct phrase then would be an other that the actual correct phrase would be Mary got me in second so look forward right in the future continues I will be looking forward would be the correct participle phrase, but I don't know, it has become a very nice fancy place to just use I'm looking forward to okay but it*is the I will be looking for. Okay, so I will be looking forward to hearing your butt else and I don't want to get you shut. Now it is just use I'm looking forward. I want to use. I will be looking forward so loudly that still correct. This is the correct way to make a market leader resuscitate the old English as one will be to meet again in thunder lightning or rain. When the hurly-burly start with the battles lost the one that will be either set of sons. So I will be looking forward to meeting you next weekend to talk with you about the wonderful country Ghana okay Shakespeare by Banquo. See you next week. I
