What’s the difference between the adverbs “hardly” and “barely” in English? As I tell you in today’s video, these two have similar meanings and can often be used interchangeably, but there are also some situations where we need to use one or the other depending on the context. First, both “hardly” and “barely” mean “almost not at all” or “almost none,” and we use them to say that someone almost didn’t do something successfully or that something was close to not happening. In general, “barely” is more informal than “hardly.” We can put both of them before verbs, nouns, and adjectives, and they are pretty much 100% interchangeable in the following sentences: I barely (or hardly) know him. He was so drunk that he could barely (or hardly) stand up straight. I was barely (or hardly) awake when you told me all that. 🔹However, “barely” has a more positive meaning than “hardly,” and it’s used to emphasize that something was done successfully even though it almost didn’t happen: We barely had enough money to pay our rent this month. They barely made it out of the building before it went up in flames. “Barely” can also be used with the word “just” to emphasize how close something was to not happening: He just barely got there in time. 🔸However, “hardly” is more of a negative word that emphasizes that something was done with great difficulty. It’s commonly used in the phrase “hardly ever,” which means “almost never,” and it’s also commonly used with the words “any,” “anyone,” and “anything”: We hardly ever see each other. I have hardly any time to relax these days. There was hardly anything to watch on TV last night. However, keep in mind that “barely” can also be used in the above sentences. Finally, “hardly” can mean “not at all” when used with the verb “to be.” It can also be used with inversion to express that something happened shortly after something else, but these two meanings are formal and not common in spoken English: That was hardly a surprise. Hardly had I arrived when the phone rang. Now practice using these adverbs in the comments! . . . . . #esl #learnenglish #languagelearning #advancedenglish #eslteacher #englishgrammar #whatsthedifference

Left, left over, leftover, leftovers... what’s the difference? These words obviously look very similar, but there are slight differences in use between them that you’ll need to understand in order to use them correctly. I explain these differences in today’s video, and to show me that you understand them, make sure to write at least one or two sentences with them in the comments! Here are the meanings of the words and phrase I teach you in today’s video: 🔸Left = if something is left, it’s remaining and still there. We simply use this word to say how much or how many of something we still have now after some of it has been used, and that’s it! Here are some extra examples: We had eight apples at the beginning of the week, but it’s only Wednesday and there are now only two left. I’m sad because we only have one week of vacation left. 😢 🔸left over = if something is left over, it wasn’t used or necessary, and it’s an extra amount of something; for example, it can be an extra amount of food that wasn’t eaten after a meal, or an extra amount of money that wasn’t spent when making a purchase and can still be used in the future: There was so much turkey left over from Thanksgiving that we had turkey sandwiches for dinner three days in a row. If there’s any paint left over after putting down the last coat, we can use it for touch-ups around the house. 🔸leftover = an adjective placed before nouns that means “not eaten or used”: There was so much leftover soup after dinner that it lasted us for days. 🔸leftovers = remaining food after a meal, and always a noun: When she goes back home, her parents always make her a big meal and put the leftovers in a tupperware container that she takes with her.

There’s a mistake in this sentence, but can you find it before I tell you what it is? If you did, let me know in the comments! In today’s video, I give you two common expressions that both contain the word “but” when it means “except,” but oddly enough, the grammar that comes after “but” in these two expressions is different! I also explain why it’s different in this video, and I hope you find it helpful! Take note of these two useful expressions that you’ll hear natives use in spoken English: 🔹can’t help but do something = if you can’t help but do something, this means that you can’t stop yourself from doing it; in order words, you feel such a strong need to do it that you can’t control yourself. After the preposition “but,” we use the base form of the verb: I can’t help but wonder if I made the wrong decision by moving halfway across the country. 🔹to have no choice but TO do something = if you have no choice but to do something, this means that you HAVE to do this one thing because it’s your only option. After the preposition “but,” we need to use the infinitive form of the verb, which is “to” plus the verb: Despite my perfect attendance record, I had no choice but to call in sick when I came down with the flu. So, as you can see here, we have to use “to” after “but” in the phrase “have no choice but to do something,” but we DON’T use it in the phrase “can’t help but do something.” Why is this? The answer more or less has to do with the word “choice,” since in English, we use an infinitive verb after a noun like “choice” and say something like “My only choice was to lie.” Here are some other examples of nouns that work like this: 🔹goal: My goal has always been to help others. 🔹dream: Her dream is to sing on Broadway. 🔹calling: I know that my calling is to be a painter. 🔹plan: The plan is to see a movie and then get dinner at a restaurant. 🔹idea: Our idea is to send out a survey to get a feel for our younger customers’ pain points. 🔹option: Sometimes, the only option you have is to swallow your pride and move on.
