00:00Hey, can I ask you something about English?
00:02Of course! What's confusing you?
00:06Yesterday I said, I'm living here since 2020, and my teacher corrected me.
00:10Ah, that's a common mistake.
00:12You should say, I've lived here since 2020 or I've been living here since 2020.
00:18Interesting. I also said, the news are surprising.
00:21News looks plural, but it's actually singular, so it's the news is surprising.
00:26English loves breaking its own rules.
00:28Sometimes it does.
00:30Then I told my friend, I'm boring today.
00:32Careful! That means you make other people feel bored.
00:36If you feel uninterested, say, I'm bored today.
00:39Oh no, that changes everything.
00:41It definitely does.
00:43Wow, I've been making mistakes I didn't even know existed.
00:47That's how learning works.
00:48Every mistake teaches you something new.
00:51Then I guess I'm learning a lot.
00:53That's the spirit.
00:54Thanks, Allopman. Bye-bye.
00:56No worries. Bye.
00:58Bye-bye.
00:59Bye-bye.
01:00Bye-bye.
01:00Bye-bye.
