State Action Verbs | Mediateca de EducaMadrid

Hello! I've been working on some of your exercises this long weekend and I've 00:00:00

seen that we must work a little bit on grammar. So, we're going to start today 00:00:06

with some of the grammar sections we haven't done before and we're going to 00:00:12

start with Unit 1. So, stop the video if you want, get your book because we're 00:00:17

going to start with Unit 1. Okay, when we talked about food and you remember when 00:00:23

we talked about if Italian food was the best and we did the exercises on the 00:00:34

listening, we skipped the part of the present simple, the present continues and 00:00:40

something which I think is new which is action and non-action verbs. So, in your 00:00:46

book on page 8, you have this exercise over here. Okay. And here you have three 00:00:53

sentences from the interview of this one who had a restaurant. You don't need 00:01:03

anything except lemon and olive oil when fish and seafood is really fresh or you 00:01:09

aren't needing okay and the second this week for example I make I'm making 00:01:17

Natko's a Cretan salad or I go I'm going to crease maybe for four or five times a 00:01:25

year so choose the right tense and we're going to listen and check because we're 00:01:33

going to work on the present tenses. One point ten. One. You don't need anything except lemon 00:01:43

and olive oil when fish and seafood is really fresh. OK, so this is the right one. You don't 00:01:55

need. Two. This week, for example, I'm making dakos, a Cretan salad made with fresh goat's 00:02:02

cheese, tomato and bread. I'm making. Three. I go to Crete maybe four or five times a year. 00:02:12

And I go. As you see, these are examples of different uses of the different present tenses. 00:02:25

And I'm sure you've learnt the present simple, present continuous and going to. OK? So, if we 00:02:35

go to your grammar bag. Here you have all the information. Okay. But I think, okay, 00:02:44

this part over here, the present simple and the present continuous is quite 00:02:57

right. All you need to do is read it, check and do the exercises. If you have 00:03:02

any questions, please ask me in class. But maybe this part over here, action and 00:03:08

non-anxious action verbs is new okay so please stop the video and read this part 00:03:16

and we're going to do something else okay now you're going to listen to 00:03:26

something unit 8 Oh mrs. Byrne thank you for coming to see me I need to talk to 00:03:34

you about Jasmine. Oh dear, is she being naughty? No, no, she's always very polite and friendly. 00:03:43

I want to talk to you about her work. She usually works hard at school and does all her homework, 00:03:50

but at the moment she isn't doing her homework and she isn't concentrating in lessons. 00:03:55

She seems a bit restless and unhappy. Yes, I think I know what the problem is. 00:04:01

Her pet hamster, Tommy, died last week. She is very unhappy about that. 00:04:07

Oh, I see. Poor Jasmine. 00:04:13

Well, I'm going to the pet shop with her today to buy a puppy. She is very excited about that. 00:04:16

Okay, so you've listened to a dialogue between a teacher and a mother. 00:04:35

What has happened? What is the problem? 00:04:44

Let's listen again. 00:04:48

Unit 8 00:04:53

Oh, Mrs. Byrne, thank you for coming to see me. 00:04:54

I need to talk to you about Jasmine. 00:04:59

Oh, dear. Is she being naughty? 00:05:01

No, no. She's always very polite and friendly. 00:05:03

I want to talk to you about her work. 00:05:07

She usually works hard at school and does all her homework, 00:05:09

but at the moment she isn't doing her homework 00:05:12

and she isn't concentrating in lessons. 00:05:15

She seems a bit restless and unhappy. 00:05:17

Yes, I think I know what the problem is. Her pet hamster, Tommy, died last week. She is very unhappy about that. 00:05:21

Oh, I see. Poor Jasmine. 00:05:30

Well, I'm going to the pet shop with her today to buy a puppy. She is very excited about that. 00:05:33

Okay, so there is a problem with the student and her mother has given a reason to the teacher. Let's look at what you have heard. And I think it's here. 00:05:39

works hard at school and does all her homework, but at the moment she isn't doing her homework 00:06:22

and she isn't concentrating in lessons. She seems a bit restless and unhappy. Yes, I think 00:06:27

I know what the problem is. Her pet hamster, Tommy, died last week. She is very unhappy 00:06:35

about that. Oh, I see. Poor Jasmine. Well, I'm going to the pet shop with her today to 00:06:41

buy a puppy. She is very excited about that. OK, so this was the problem. And look at the 00:06:48

verbs they've used. Need, want, think, know, see and seem. OK? We normally use the verbs 00:06:57

in the present simple and the present continuous. For example, verbs like run. You have this 00:07:13

example. Donna is running around the park. I'm cooking dinner. But there are some 00:07:20

verbs, the verbs that you have here, that are not used in the continuous form. Okay? 00:07:26

And in your book you have some notes but these are the most important things. Look. 00:07:33

The verbs which indicate state, thinking or feeling. So, state for be, seem, mean, 00:07:41

contain, have. Thinking, there you have, think, know, believe, understand. See in the 00:07:53

meaning of understand it. I see it, I understand it. And feeling, like, want, 00:08:01

love hate need these verbs are called stayed verbs and they are not used in 00:08:07

the continuous form so you may say Simon likes the painting but you don't say 00:08:18

Simon is liking the painting now there you have the verbs be have and think can 00:08:25

be used in the continuous form but they have a different meaning. She's being 00:08:36

very good. Being in this case means behave. Not that she exists but she 00:08:42

behaves. She's behaving well. I'm having a shower. It's not that you possess the 00:08:51

shower but you're actually showering yourself and thinking in the meaning of 00:09:00

considering okay now there are two exceptions and these are important 00:09:09

because you will find it in almost every single song you listen to look and feel 00:09:16

can be used in the continuous and the simple form, no? How do you feel or are 00:09:24

you feeling tired? Okay, so the most important thing is to remember that 00:09:34

these verbs state, think and feel are not used in the continuous form and because 00:09:39

of this I will post this handout for you to do the exercises, okay? And now we're 00:09:49

going to check the answer to the exercises that you've done, okay? So there 00:10:01

you are. You may stop the video and check if the answers were right. Okay? Okay, 00:10:15

that's all for state and action verbs. 00:10:34
