00:00Okay, so let's create some context to some basic ideas that we have while using going to in past plans, you know, so that's the point.
00:16So in this case, for example, we have the structure what's going to, that's what we will be doing here.
00:27So in this case, for instance, we have an example, I was going to sell my car, I was going to sell my car, but no one wanted to buy it, you know, but no one wanted to buy it.
00:44So that's like a very logical conclusion there, you know, so we're going to create some other examples here.
00:51For instance, if we have, let's say, I was going to get into college, so we've got to create a context here, David, you know,
01:08so what would you say here, that it would be like a good conclusion to this example?
01:18For conclusion, teacher, I was going to get into college.
01:22I don't have enough money.
01:37Okay, I was going to get into college, but remember that here we are working in past, so what is the auxiliary that you would use instead of, instead of don't, right?
01:48Do you have any ideas?
01:51So I don't, but in past, you know?
01:55In past, in past tense?
01:58Yes, because we're using past, you know?
02:01Remember that the context that you're using while you decide to make a statement using,
02:07I was going to get into college is to describe a past plant that didn't make real or that didn't succeed, you know?
02:16So you have to create a past context here.
02:20And what then?
02:23No, I mean, that's, the auxiliary is good, you know, don't, but do you remember how to use a don't, for example, don't have money but invest?
02:33I did.
02:34I did.
02:35I did.
02:36So, what is the statement?
02:38I didn't have enough money.
02:43I didn't have, I didn't have enough money, that's good.
02:48I was going to get into college, I was going to get into college, but I didn't have enough money, that's good.
02:56So, let's try another one, you know, let's try another number two here.
03:00They were going to, they were going to prepare a new exposition, exposition, exposition the last week, you know?
03:15So, what's the conclusion here?
03:17Give it another try.
03:19Okay, they were going to prepare a new exposition last week, but they don't prepare the information.
03:36But they, so, okay, one more time in the past, so what do we do?
03:41Okay, that's good, they were going to prepare a new exposition last week, but they didn't have all of the information, on the information ready, for example.
04:00That's good, excellent, very good.
04:02So, then we have, well, we go, we continue with number three here.
04:06In this case, I was going to ring you yesterday evening.
04:09In this case, to ring you, it means that I was going to call you using a phone, you know?
04:14I was going to ring you yesterday evening.
04:19Evening.
04:21However, so you have to complete the context here.
04:24To ring is like a synonym to actually saying to phone or to call, you know?
04:32So, what do you think?
04:34However, my cell phone didn't have battery.
04:41Okay, however, my cell phone didn't have battery.
04:47Okay.
04:48So, in this case, the meaning could be a little bit ambiguous.
04:51So, when you say that your cell phone didn't have battery, it could be understood that your cell phone didn't have a physical battery, in fact.
05:03You know, sometimes it could be understood that it didn't have enough energy or battery.
05:08But, in this case, so as to not mistaken the meaning, we can say, which, it's a better option to say, my cell phone, my cell phone ran out of battery.
05:21Ran out of battery, it means that you didn't have, that you didn't have enough battery here, like, to, um, to make the phone call, you know?
05:33So, that's the point.
05:34So, that's the point.
05:35So, my cell phone ran out of battery, or you can also say, I didn't have, I didn't, or, no, that's better.
05:44My cell phone, my cell phone, my cell phone wasn't charged, for example, that's another option.
05:54So, that's, which sounds a lot more natural here.
05:57So, in this case, let's try for a question here, you know, uh, were you going, that's a similar question to the previous context that, uh, that we had here.
06:09For example, were you going to call, uh, your classmates to organize, to organize the exposition?
06:20Okay, so that's a question.
06:21So, in this case, you've got to create, you've got to create an answer here, you know, you have to create an answer, a logical answer that fills the requirements of the question that you have here.
06:35So, what could you possibly answer here, uh, David, what do you think?
06:41Okay, yes, I was going to call, to call them, to call them.
06:51Mm-hmm, yes, I was, were you going to call, yes, I was going to call them.
06:58To call them, however, um,
07:03I missed, I missed, uh, their numbers.
07:19Mm-hmm, however, however, I missed their numbers, I missed their phone numbers, sex and everything again.
07:28Okay, that's good, fantastic, that's another example, as we can see here.
07:32It's very simple, so as much as you practice this, the better, you know, because you will be learning a lot more on, uh, how to,
07:41how to improvise, uh, well, different contexts, you know, which is a very, which is a very important, uh, tool.
07:52So, let me see, completed operations, okay, that's, uh, oh no, oh, give me one second.
08:01Um, okay.
08:03So, I was going to call them, however, I missed, uh, their phone numbers.
08:08That's great.
08:09So, in this case, we have, in this, uh, in this point, we've got a number five, I was going to,
08:17withdraw, I was going to withdraw, I was going to withdraw some money, I was going to withdraw some money.
08:26To withdraw is that, it means that you were going to, uh, like to take some money from your bank account, for example, right?
08:35So, it's, um, withdraw, withdraw.
08:41Withdraw is, for example, when you go to, uh, an automatic teller machine, you know, like, for example, when you go to an ATM, an automatic teller machine, uh, to the bank, and, uh, and you, uh, get some money from that machine.
08:55You enter your, your code from your credit or debit card, so you can extract money from the machine.
09:02Do you know what it is?
09:04Mm-hmm.
09:05Yeah, so that's withdraw.
09:06You know, withdraw is when you take money from the bank machine, from the automatic cashier, so that you can buy something, or you can get some cash, and, uh, and you don't, you don't need to, to have, uh, your money registered in your credit or debit card, but rather, you use it, uh, physically, you know?
09:26So, I was going to withdraw some money, for example, I was going to withdraw some money from the ATM, and ATM stands for automatic teller machine, you know, automatic teller machine, which is the machine that provides you with the cash, with the necessary cash, once you enter the code that comes in your, uh, in your credit card, you know?
09:50You know, so that's, that's what it means.
09:54Okay, but I didn't have enough money in my credit card.
09:58Okay, I was going to withdraw some money from the ATM, but I didn't have enough money in my credit card, extra number again.
10:09So, that's the point, you know, that's the point, you know, that's the point there.
10:12Very simple.
10:13So, now, let's make, for example, in this case, uh, I was going, I was going to quit, to quit my job.
10:24So, what do you think for this one?
10:26This one is, uh, quite interesting.
10:31Let me quit my job.
10:39Let me quit my job, let me quit my job.
10:41oh
10:58however
10:59You can use however, but try to use this connector, on this example, that it's on the contrary.
11:16I was going to quit my job, on the contrary, what do you think?
11:22On the contrary...
11:29Can you answer this question?
11:45We can use the pressing, the pressing, the pressing dance in this sentence?
11:53On the contrary, yes. I mean, as you can, in order to contrast an idea.
11:58On the contrary, I need a job.
12:07On the contrary, I need it. Or, okay, on the contrary, I need a job.
12:13Okay. I need a job to, right, try to complement the idea, try to give a purpose to this.
12:28I need a job to go out for vacation.
12:35Mm-hmm. I need a job to go, to go on vacation, right, to go on vacation. Perfect, that's good.
12:42So, that we got with number six here. So, as you can see, it's quite simple to make a couple of these, of these examples here, because, well, you can express a lot of different ideas, and you can create many possibilities.
13:00And it's rather useful, because as long as you practice this, you're going to acquire more and more practice, and that's going to help you to improvise a lot more.
13:17You know? So, that's, that's the point. So, let me see. Okay, so, that's not attached to this computer. Okay, that's good.
13:26So, that's number seven here. We have, um, I was going to buy a new high-tech watch. You know, I was going to buy a new high-tech, high-tech watch.
13:39You know, like, uh, what could it be? Like, uh, like an Apple watch or something like that, you know? So, what do you think that the conclusion for this may be?
13:50You can say, you can say, nevertheless, despite, however, on the contrary, conversely, um, non-belast, um, in spite, you know? So, there are different connectors that, that you can use. So, what do you think?
14:07Eh, but I didn't have found it, found it.
14:16Okay, but I didn't, I didn't have, uh, find it. So, okay, so, are you sure that you, that you want to find it in the, uh, in the store?
14:30okay in the store so that we have it so are you sure about the sustainment or
14:37is there anything that you would like to correct what do you think
14:44I didn't have to find it
15:00we need to use the verb pass for the verb find
15:10well no you know I like well yeah I mean in this case the conjugation is correct I
15:20didn't have but remember that in this case you have two verbs you know you are
15:26adding two verbs you have in the first case you have half and in the second
15:31case you have find so you have to choose either of these two you know but because
15:39you're using the auxiliary and have cannot function as an auxiliary on this
15:45sustainment so you have to decide what verb to use because you cannot put both
15:53verbs together in that same way you know I mean you could actually add a third verb
15:59but using the infinitive you know but but not like this so what do you think what
16:07could what could the possible solution be
16:12okay I can't define it no because remember that remember that a detail an important detail with
16:24modal verbs is that whenever you use whenever you use modal verbs you cannot use infinitives so for
16:38example you cannot say cannot to because that's that's a mistake you know that's an
16:45error so it's not possible whenever you use can you simply say I can't for
16:52example I cannot I cannot swim so that would be the correct one I cannot swim I cannot
17:00sing I cannot dance but you shall never say I cannot to dance for example because that would be a mistake you
17:17know that would be a mistake because you cannot use infinitives after you have used the modal verb you
17:25know so that's that's the detail so in this case we have an auxiliary which is the one that we use for
17:34depends which is a didn't then you have a verb which is have and then you have find so in this case you
17:40have two options you either leave have and you re elaborate the context or you leave find and you
17:48continue with the same idea so I think that the easiest option here is the second one we're gonna check an
17:54example with have as well so but let's modify it with the find in the first place so in this case it
18:02says I was going to buy a new high-tech watch but I didn't find it in the store or okay that's good I
18:11didn't find I didn't find it in this case if you were going to use it you must have mentioned which
18:20high-tech high-tech watch you wanted in the first place which is not the case I mean in this case you simply
18:26had the intention of buying a high-tech watch but it didn't say which one in particular specifically you know so
18:33it's not possible to use it here so when you're talking in general as it is in this case I was going to buy a new
18:40high-tech watch it's a general context we are not specifying which kind of model which kind of model we we we are looking for you know
18:50so in this case you simply change it for I was going to buy a new high-tech watch but I didn't
18:58find one in the store you know and that's it I didn't find one in the store if you actually mentioned
19:07the exact model of the of the actual watch that you that you really wanted then you can use it for
19:18example if you had said I was going to buy the new Apple watch Apple watch that came out two weeks ago but I didn't find it in the store so in that case you can use it because you are specifying the model which in this case it's an Apple watch you know so that's that makes it a lot more simple using
19:47so in the other example you're simply referring to a high-tech watch you're not describing the model so you're talking about in general so that's why you mentioned with the particle one I didn't find one in the store you know and then if you continue the idea actually I'd lie to get
20:10I'd lie to get an Apple watch
20:17but I believe it is quite expensive but I believe it is quite expensive so as we can see here once that you have once that you have specified the model as we have here an Apple watch you can refer to it by using the
20:39and print it as we see in the second example so that's a point so if we actually wanted to use have let's make an example we have here we say I was going to buy a new high-tech watch but I didn't have I didn't have let's say
21:04I didn't have enough savings to do so you know or to buy it I was going to buy a new high-tech watch but I didn't have enough money or enough savings to do so so to do so means to do these actions that you mentioned in the first place which was to buy a new high-tech watch you know that's what it means to do so
21:33what it means to do so, that you refer to the previous action, to the main action that
21:39you mentioned in the first place, you know, so it's very simple of that.
21:46So that's the point.
21:47Do you have any questions, right here, with this example?
21:51No, Jerry.
21:53Okay, excellent, let's do it.
21:57So that's the point.
21:59For that, you can also use have as an auxiliary, but that's only in the present perfect.
22:05In the present perfect, you can use have as an auxiliary, but not in the structure of
22:13was going to.
22:19For example, if you say, I was going...
22:23I was going to go to the movie theater this week, but I think, but I think that I have
22:34already watched so many movies this month, for example, but I think that I have already
22:43watched so many movies this month.
22:45But in this case, the structure of using have as an auxiliary relates to the present perfect,
22:52so this is a different tense, a different grammar tense, which is present perfect, you
22:59know, and remember that present perfect is to mention actions that were important for
23:05you in the past and that are still relevant to you in the present day.
23:11That's why it is really useful to link the present with the past, you know, so that's the main
23:15function that we have with the present perfect, you see?
23:21So that's the point.
23:23So I was going to go to the movie theater this week, but I think that I have already watched
23:28so many movies this month, so that's the present perfect tense.
23:36So let's make one more example right here, you know, to practice a little bit more.
23:41So I was going to quit my job, I was going to buy a new high-tech watch.
23:51What number are we?
23:52Number seven.
23:53Okay, so there we go with number eight.
23:58So we continue here, let's make like, continue with the exercise.
24:08Continue with the exercise from here, that's good.
24:11So I was going to visit my aunt in New Zealand, I was going to visit my aunt in New Zealand,
24:25so we're going to visit my aunt in New Zealand, so we're going to visit my aunt in New Zealand.
24:29So what do you think, David?
24:30What could be the conclusion for this one?
24:33Okay, the chair, I was going to visit my aunt in New Zealand, I was going to visit my aunt in New Zealand.
24:45Nevertheless, it's like to create contrast, you know.
24:49It's very similar to however, but, but a lot more formal.
24:54The same with the nonetheless, nevertheless, you know.
25:05In the next, I had to do another, another with you.
25:12Nevertheless, nevertheless I had one.
25:16I had to move.
25:19I had...
25:20I had to...
25:21I had to visit another studio first.
25:26I had to visit another, another what, sorry, another place.
25:31Okay.
25:32To visit.
25:33To visit.
25:34Another place.
25:35Another place, okay.
25:39Okay, that's good.
25:42So I was going to visit my aunt in New Zealand.
25:46Nevertheless, I had to visit another place.
25:49That's great.
25:51So that we have, for example, in this case, I was going to take a bus to work for a change.
25:59Or I was going to take a bus.
26:06I was going to take a bus to work.
26:12So what do you think?
26:14Let's complete the conclusion here.
26:15What do you think?
26:16Let's complete the conclusion here.
26:18But I had to take a car because I missed the bus.
26:34the bus
26:39But I had
26:42I had to what?
26:46I had to drive with my car because I missed the road
26:51I had to drive my car because
26:57I missed the bus sex on Reagan
27:01So that we have it
27:04So let's say for example Emma was going to watch the late movie last night
27:18So what do you think for this one?
27:34I'm going to watch the late movie last night
27:43well I am going to watch this one
27:45and I have to watch the late movie last night
27:47Well, the late movie was going to be on the way
27:49To watch the late movie last night
28:12When she went
28:14She wasn't
28:19Buy a ticket for the boy
28:22Okay, she wasn't, remember that
28:24The verb to be
28:26It's generally used to describe characteristics of a person
28:30But not actions, you know
28:32So in this case, if I write
28:35But she wasn't what?
28:38She wasn't buy a ticket for the boy
28:41Buy a ticket for the boy
28:43A ticket for the movie
28:47Okay
28:49So what do we have here?
28:51We have another problem here, which is
28:54Emma was going to watch the late movie last night
28:57Which is the main intention that Emma had
29:00Of actually going to watch
29:03The late movie last night
29:06But she wasn't buy a ticket for the movie
29:10So in this case
29:11Buy is an action
29:13And wasn't is the past conjugation of the verb to be
29:17So in this case we cannot mix both
29:21Just like that, you know
29:23It's not possible
29:24It's not possible
29:25So remember that
29:26In order to make the negative
29:28In order to make the negation of
29:30By
29:31Of the verb
29:32By
29:33You have to use the auxiliary
29:34Didn't
29:35Not wasn't
29:36You know
29:37Because wasn't is for
29:38For location
29:39Or characteristics
29:41Or the name
29:42Or the age
29:43Or the profession
29:44Or the gender
29:47Or the state
29:50In which a person was
29:53Or the city
29:54Or the country
29:55You know
29:56That's
29:57That's
29:58Those are usually the things
29:59That you would describe
30:00With the verb to be
30:01But
30:02But not
30:03Not these sections
30:05For example
30:06In this
30:10In this structure of the
30:12Was and were going to
30:14It's
30:15It's possible to use
30:16Was and going to
30:18Because going to
30:19It's a grammatical function
30:21And was
30:22Is a past conjugation of the verb
30:24But for example
30:25In this case
30:27If you actually wanted to make
30:28An example similar to that
30:30Would be
30:31Emma was going to watch
30:33The late movie
30:35Last night
30:36Emma was going to watch the late movie
30:39Last night
30:40Emma was going to watch the late movie
30:43Last night
30:44But
30:45She wasn't
30:47She wasn't
30:49She wasn't
30:50She wasn't
30:52At home
30:56To watch it
31:01Emma was going to watch the late movie
31:04The late movie
31:05Last night
31:06But she wasn't
31:07At home
31:08To watch it
31:09So
31:10Perhaps she was
31:11At the beach
31:12Or she was
31:13At the forest
31:14And she didn't have a television
31:15So Emma was going to watch
31:17That was
31:18The main plan
31:19That she had
31:20But
31:21She wasn't
31:22At home
31:23To watch it
31:24You know
31:25Or she wasn't
31:26At home
31:27Last night
31:28So that's
31:29That's
31:30The point
31:31Because
31:32When we are using
31:34Wasen
31:35We are describing
31:36The location
31:37You know
31:38The location
31:39Is
31:40At home
31:41So that's
31:42What we use
31:43The birth
31:44The birth
31:45To be for
31:46But
31:47If you want to use
31:48The action
31:49By
31:50If you want to use
31:51The action
31:52By
31:53You need to use
31:54The auxiliary
31:55So we have
31:56Emma was going
31:57To watch
31:59The late
32:00Movie
32:01Last night
32:02But
32:03She didn't
32:04Buy
32:06A ticket
32:07For the movie
32:08Mmhm
32:09But she didn't buy
32:11A ticket
32:12For the movie
32:14Or
32:15She didn't have
32:17The chance
32:18She didn't have
32:19The chance
32:20The chance
32:21This is
32:22The chance
32:23To buy
32:24She didn't have
32:25She didn't have
32:27The chance
32:28To buy
32:29A ticket
32:30For the movie
32:31So this is
32:33A very useful expression
32:36Here because
32:37Because it tells you
32:40That she didn't have
32:41The chance
32:42Or
32:43The opportunity
32:44To buy
32:45A ticket
32:46For the movie
32:47Which is
32:48Uh
32:49Well
32:50It's a rather good
32:51Um
32:56It's a rather good context
32:58That you can add here
32:59So you see
33:00So whenever you use
33:01The bird to be
33:02You just remember
33:03That
33:04You can use it
33:05To describe
33:06Uh
33:07Appearance
33:08Uh
33:09Location
33:10Nationality
33:11Profession
33:12Uh
33:13Gender
33:14The age
33:15Uh
33:16The mood
33:17The feelings
33:18The sensations
33:19All of those
33:20Uh
33:21Uh
33:22Functions
33:23Profession
33:24Occupation
33:25All of those details
33:26And functions
33:27Related to a person's life
33:28Can be described
33:29Uh
33:30By using the bird to be
33:31But
33:32The other actions
33:33The other actions
33:34For instance
33:35Buying
33:36To sell
33:37Uh
33:38To ride
33:39Uh
33:40Dancing
33:41Cleaning
33:42Sleeping
33:43All of those actions
33:44And all of those actions
33:45Required
33:46The auxiliary
33:47You know
33:48Mm-hmm
33:50Okay
33:51Then in this case
33:52Uh
33:53Another option
33:54Is to use a model burp
33:55Remember that
33:56The model burps
33:57Also help you to
33:58To create
33:59Uh
34:00Some other conclusions
34:01For example
34:02When you say
34:03Emma
34:04Was going to watch
34:06The late movie
34:08Last night
34:09But
34:12Unfortunately
34:13She couldn't
34:15But
34:17Unfortunately
34:18She couldn't
34:19Emma
34:21Was going to watch
34:22The late movie
34:23Last night
34:24But
34:25Unfortunately
34:26She couldn't
34:27She couldn't
34:30As
34:31She fell
34:32As
34:33She fell asleep
34:34Quite
34:36Early
34:37So
34:38That means
34:39That Emma
34:40Wasn't able
34:41To stay
34:42Up
34:43You know
34:44Asleep
34:45And for that reason
34:46She couldn't
34:47Watch the movie
34:48Um
34:49So that's
34:50The function
34:51With a model burp
34:52Which is
34:53In this case
34:54Couldn't
34:55Remember that
34:56Couldn't
34:57Is the best form
34:58For
34:59Can
35:00Generally
35:01You know
35:02Like
35:03If we want to see it that way
35:04That's
35:05That would be a simple way
35:06To represent it
35:07A simple way to put it
35:11So there we go
35:12Do you have any questions
35:13Do you have any questions so far?
35:15Not sure
35:16Okay
35:17Excellent
35:18Very good
35:21So that we have
35:22For example
35:23I was going to learn to play the piano last year
35:27Yeah
35:28So that we have
35:29For example
35:30I was going to learn
35:32I was going to learn to play piano last year
35:37That's another example I was going to learn to play piano last year
35:44So what do you think that could be a good conclusion here David?
35:52David?
35:56But I didn't
35:57Um
35:58The opportunity
36:00Um
36:04To take the vision
36:05Because
36:08But I didn't
36:09The English
36:10Okay
36:11I didn't
36:12The opportunity
36:13The opportunity one
36:15To take the lesson
36:16To take the lesson
36:17To take the lesson
36:18That's good
36:19Okay
36:20So in this case I was going to learn to play piano last year but I didn't
36:33The opportunity to take the lesson
36:36So in this blank space we need a burp
36:39You know
36:40So
36:41What could we do there?
36:43Car
36:44Okay
36:45Excellent
36:46I didn't have
36:47The opportunity to take the lesson
36:50So that's good
36:54Or the lessons
36:55You know
36:56As
36:57They could actually be
36:58Many
36:59So that's
37:00That's the point here
37:04Let me see
37:06So
37:16What else do we have here?
37:17For example
37:18If we have
37:19Uh
37:20Let's say
37:21Uh
37:22For instance
37:25Where are you going
37:27Where are you going to
37:29Have a conversation
37:31Where are you going to have a conversation with
37:34Your parents
37:35Regarding
37:36Your
37:37Your
37:38Academic
37:39Future
37:40Or
37:42Your
37:43Academic
37:44Preparation
37:45So
37:47We've got to create
37:49We've got to create an answer here
37:52Uh
37:53David
37:54What would you say here?
37:55To be younger
37:56What do you think?
37:57To be younger
37:58What do you think?
37:59What do you think?
38:00What do you think?
38:01You have to do
38:07What do you think?
38:08I was going to talk
38:10to them
38:11But
38:13My parents
38:14want to study
38:16a different
38:18career
38:19You want to study a different career?
38:25Yes, I was.
38:27You want to work with them?
38:31Now, well, it's not necessary that you repeat the action, you know, it's simply with the short answer you can, you can exemplify that, you can simplify that idea.
38:41So you can simply say, yes, I was, or I was going to tell them, you know, I was going...
38:48You can change a little bit the structure.
38:51Yes, I was going, I was going to tell them how important are, let's say, how important are arts for me.
39:03But, and you can add to the answer that you mentioned previously, what was it, Dave?
39:10Well, Dave wants to study another, another career.
39:15But they wanted me to study another career.
39:30Or they wanted that I could study, they...
39:34So that doesn't sound too personal, but they wanted that I could study another career, a different one.
39:45So that's, that's the point.
39:46So, for example, here, let's say Frank was going to, was going to speak in Italian, as we are in Rome on vacation.
40:10So, what's a compliment would you add for this one?
40:14Uh, he...
40:26U-N, he...
40:31I'm going to...
40:43He didn't learn the language
40:46Mm-hmm
40:51Yes, we are in Rome on vacation
40:54But he didn't... he didn't learn the language
41:01Excellent, very good, Frank was going to speak in Italian
41:04as we are in Rome on vacation
41:06or as we were in Rome on vacation
41:10but he didn't learn the language
41:15So we can add a little bit more context here
41:18for example, to be more... to be a lot clearer
41:22but he didn't learn the language
41:25to the point of establishing a natural conversation
41:38for example, he just knows the basics, you know
41:41he just knows the basics, we don't know
41:44whether he is fluent in Italian or not, you know, but...
41:52but as you can see, that's... that's the idea
42:01So in this case, we're gonna...
42:03now it's time to create the...
42:05the first part of the statement
42:06for example, here we have...
42:08we're gonna begin with the conclusions
42:10What do I mean by the conclusions?
42:12well, for example, when I say...
42:14then I...
42:18then I...
42:22I was... uh...
42:25I was told to go...
42:28to the principal's office
42:31then I was going to go to the principal...
42:34then I was told to go to the principal's office
42:37so here we have...
42:39this is already the conclusion
42:40but...
42:41but prior to the conclusion
42:43we'll still need the main statement using
42:46was or were we going to
42:49so this one gets a little bit more complicated
42:53but in essence is the same
42:56just that in this example we're adding
42:59the...
43:01like the main context
43:03since the very beginning, you know
43:05so it's up to us
43:06to come up with...
43:08with a creative
43:10or with a logical example
43:12that fits this description, right?
43:15so what do you think?
43:18Hmm...
43:19I don't understand...
43:21then...
43:22um...
43:23let's make a...
43:24let's make another example here
43:26for example...
43:28um...
43:29then I realized...
43:31I re...
43:32I realized that...
43:34my kitchen...
43:36that my kitchen...
43:38was...
43:39was...
43:40uh...
43:41quite...
43:42dirty...
43:44dirty...
43:45okay...
43:46so in this case
43:47we need to make the first part of the statement
43:50to make the second part
43:52make sense, you know
43:54so in this case
43:55we're gonna say for example
43:57I was going to...
44:01uh...
44:02I was going to...
44:03uh...
44:04cook...
44:05turkey...
44:06with...
44:07pasta...
44:08but then...
44:09I realized that my kitchen was quite dirty
44:12so you see...
44:13so that's...
44:14we have to create the main idea
44:16for the conclusion
44:18for the conclusion
44:20this is the conclusion
44:21so what do you think?
44:23okay...
44:24okay...
44:25okay...
44:26in this second sentence
44:27uh...
44:28what...
44:29the principal...
44:30what this means
44:31principles...
44:32office
44:35okay...
44:36yeah...
44:39I was going to...
44:41to...
45:00oh...
45:01uh...
45:02um...
45:03okay...
45:05okay...
45:06uh...
45:07uh...
45:08uh ...
45:10Let me show you another example here, you know, so for example it's like when you say
45:25eventually I found my books under my desk, okay, so
45:37I lost my English books as I was going, I was going to read for a little, for a little while.
45:50Eventually I found my books under my desk, under my desk after a couple hours, after a couple hours that I was constantly
46:07looking up for them, you know, I was constantly looking up for them or simply looking for them, that's another possibility.
46:19Locking up, looking up is a little bit more emphasized, it's more British, that expression is really common in the British English, but
46:29in this case we simplified by saying I lost my English books as I was going to read for a little while.
46:37Eventually I found my books under my desk after a couple hours that I was constantly looking for them.
46:45So that's, that's another example, but, so what do you think?
46:52Okay, I was going to, to the classroom.
47:03I was going to, to what train?
47:08The classroom.
47:10And I was told to go to the principal office.
47:15Okay, I was going to the classroom, but in this case you still need a verb, because in this case I was going to the classroom.
47:24That actually, okay, I was going to go, because if you leave it that way, the context would change completely.
47:32I mean, the, the statement is correct, but the idea would change completely because it would be past continuous.
47:40I was going to the classroom and past continuous is when you want to describe that something interrupted your progressive action,
47:49you know, which is not the case in this case.
47:52In this case we are trying to say that we had a plan that it was going to happen, but we had to change it,
48:01you know, so I was going to, to go to, you know, to go to the classroom.
48:09Simply by adding go to, it changed, it changes completely the idea, or it changes the idea completely, sorry.
48:17So I was going to go to the classroom, then I was told to go to the principal's office.
48:23So, and I didn't know why, you know, well, we can add many examples as possible.
48:29So that's, that's the idea.
48:31So let's make one more, let's make one more.
48:35So in this case we are going to add the conclusion.
48:38And then, um, but then, but then I remembered, I remembered, I remembered, I remembered that he speaks English very well.
48:54Yeah.
48:55So in this case we have the black space, so what do you think for this one?
49:00I was going to talk.
49:19I was going to talk.
49:23I was going to use my translator, you know, my translator, but then I remembered, I remembered that.
49:52He speaks English very well.
49:54And he speaks English very well.
49:55Okay, excellent, very good.
49:56I was going to use my translator, but then I remembered that he speaks English very well.
50:01So eventually you can create more examples, so that would actually help you to practice a lot more, to improvise,
50:07and to come up with new ideas, and to come up with new ideas, and to come up with new ideas and new conclusions, for example.
50:11Then you can eventually make a question and try to make a dialogue or, or to follow a conversation.
50:17For example, I was going to use my translator, but then I remembered that he speaks English very well.
50:22And then why were you going to use your translator?
50:29And then you can create another answer.
50:31I was going to use it as I wasn't so sure of the vocabulary that he was using in the conversation.
50:45So you think you can create questions, answers, you can create new ideas.
50:51So that's the intention of that practice.
50:54So that's the point.
50:55So do you have any questions, David?
50:58Nothing, not sure.
51:00Okay, excellent, very good.
51:01So that's the point.
51:02So we continue practicing next week, right?
51:05So that's it for today.
51:06So remember to practice.
51:08This is a rather good exercise.
51:10I'm going to send you the notes and the recording.
51:13And well, that's it.
51:14Have a good weekend and a good day.
51:16See you on Monday.
