分詞構句

Well, I did have a regular video queued up, scheduled for you, ready to go.

程度副詞

But it just felt weird putting it out today, what with everything that’s going on in

So instead, today we’re going to talk a little bit about what’s happening, that

And as I talk about it, we’ll make sure that we’re addressing interesting or strange

pronunciations or vocabularies, phrasal verbs, that kind of thing, that might come up.

First let’s talk about the phrasal verb I used, queued up.

If something’s ‘queued up’, that means means it’s ready to be used next.

I had a video that was all ready to go for today, but it seemed strange to post it and

not acknowledge that we’re in the middle of this pandemic.

As some of you know, I live in Philadelphia.

And what’s happening here is something that has been going for weeks, or even months,

I have some students in China, and they were telling me what life was like for them.

“I’m working from home, I don’t see anyone all day.”

I ordered toilet paper from Target and my order got canceled because they couldn’t

So, I did go to the grocery store today and get some toilet paper.

But.  We’re starting to feel some of those same things.

I, I guess I knew it was coming, and now it’s here.

And now we’re figuring out what to do about it.

And of course the virus I’m talking about is called the Coronavirus.

Those are, I think, the two official terms.

One thing that I was thinking about was a word that you may have been hearing a lot

Corona virus, it’s pronounced just like the beer, Corona.

We’re pronouncing that with first syllable stress and the OH diphthong.

How is ‘nineteen’ different from ‘ninety’?

‘Nineteen’ has second-syllable stress.

In ‘ninety’, it’s a Flap T. Nineteen, COVID-19.

if you’re following this in English, is the word ‘stock’.

And, it’s being used in a couple of different ways.

So, first of all, there’s the stock market.

Stocks have plummeted, they’ve plunged, they’ve really lost value.

They started to go up a little bit at the end of the week.

But, that’s the stock market or stocks.

But maybe you’ve also heard the time ‘stockpile’.

And this is what you do when you gather a lot of something, and keep it safe.

For example, some people have been stockpiling toilet paper, which is why it’s hard for

Because people are going in and buying a lot.

I want to point out that the D in ‘hand’ will be silent when the next word begins with

It doesn’t have to be, but this is how you’ll hear it almost all the time.

That’s a little bit different than ‘stockpile’.

Stockpile really means a very large amount of something.

Stocking up just means getting plenty of it.

Um, for example, at my house, we’re stocking up on beans, rice, food that we can cook if,

for some reason, we are unable to go to the grocery store.

We would call that kind of food ‘non-perishable’ food.

We’re trying not to grab too many resources and keep them for ourselves.

Um, but those are all interesting ways you can use the word ‘stock’.

I’ve also used the phrase ‘take stock’.

That means gather information in order to make a decision.

For example, we need to take stock of what we have before we go shopping so that we know

So that we don’t buy stuff we don’t need, and we don’t forget important stuff.

We need to take stock of what we have before we make our shopping list.

There are other ways the word ‘stock’ is used.

Perhaps in cooking you’ve noticed the term chicken stock, beef stock, or vegetable stock.

We’re stocked up on everything we need.
