Hello, everybody.

Thank you very much for joining us live.

If you haven't yet, please make sure to like and share the video.

I'm going to share the video and then I'll start today's lesson.

All right, so let's begin.

I want to begin today's lesson by talking about verbs.

I'm going to focus on verbs that you can use for social media to begin with here.

So let's get started.

The first verb I want to talk about is to post to post.

To post means to share something on social media, to post something means to share, to share something on social media.

So this verb to post this is pronounced with a long Oh, sound.

This verb comes from demonstrate this action.

So a long time ago, maybe it was normal to share information by doing this like on a public board of some kind.

We shared information like this.

So this action doing this was called posting to post something.

Now, of course, online.

We do this with our pictures and with our information digitally.

So this is like what we do now on Facebook or on Twitter or on Instagram, but we use the same verb to post something to post something.

So when we share information online, we describe it with Post.

I posted a picture on Instagram or I posted an update on Facebook, so the past tense is posted posted.

So all right past tense here past tense posted.

This is also the past participle for Have you ever posted something on Facebook?

OK, so that's our first keyword for today.

The second on third.

Really.

These are pairs that I want to mention they are to friend to friend or to follow to friend or to follow.

These have really the same meaning, but it means to create a connection online.

So we use friend on Facebook to friend.

Someone on Facebook means to add a person as a friend on your Facebook account to friends, someone so like I friended my co worker caste Tense form is friended friended.

It takes the regular e d ending for the past tense.

So I friended someone on Facebook to follow.

We used this sound like instagram and on Twitter it means you start following someone's updates.

So to follow the past tense form is followed followed e d.

Ending again.

So he followed me on Instagram or she followed me on Twitter.

So to friend is for Facebook or for any other social media platform that uses friend to follow is for others.

Generally, we can use either one.

You may also here to add someone to add someone on Facebook.

I'll add that here too, to add someone.

But we usually say to add someone on Facebook okay.

And send your messages.

Send your examples in the chat.

I will try to check someone.

I said someone said I friended you on Facebook, which is perfect.

I friended past tense.

I friended you on Facebook.

Okay, so the other side of this, then, like the opposite version Is this to unfriend to unfriend or two unfollowed to unfriend or two unfollowed?

Maybe some of you know this prefix unknown to unfriend or two unfollowed.

So unm means not a kn means that it's a negative to unfriend means to remove someone from your friends list.

So I unfriended my old co worker or I unfriended that person.

So, to unfriend, someone is to remove them from your social media contacts list to Owen follow is the same thing.

So you stop receiving updates from someone.

So I unfollowed him on instagram or it unfollowed him on Twitter To unfollowed, someone means to cancel your following.

So again, past tense unfriend in past tense becomes unfriended and unfollowed becomes unfollowed.

So these are all regular verbs in the past tense.

Unfollowed.

Okay, uh, some people said I follow you on YouTube.

A good point.

Uh, the proposition we use for social media platforms is on.

So I follow you on instagram.

I follow you on Twitter.

So to follow someone to follow someone on, please use on.

Not in on Twitter on Facebook on YouTube on, uh, yet on YouTube on Facebook on Twitter.

Please use the proposition on to describe that before the social media platform.

I want to follow you.

Good.

Okay.

Some other examples.

Someone said I will unfriend you.

Alicia.

Okay, sorry.

Okay.

Other examples, uh, follow you every day.

Okay, Keep in mind this, uh, these verbs are for when you begin to follow someone.

So when we want to talk about someone's updates, you can say I check your updates every day.

I check your updates every day.

instead of follow.

So follow is like the first time you hit the button.

Okay?

I followed my friend or I followed this person we use follow that time.

After that, you can say I check your updates every day.

Okay, good.

So some people are saying I follow you on YouTube.

Great.

Great.

And then I check your updates every day.

So follow marks the start point after follow.

Let's see.

So I checked.

Change your verb to check.

I check your updates.

I check your updates, or I check your feet.

I check your feet.

Your feet means wth e all of the things you post that list of stuff that you post.

That's your feet.

I check your feet every day.

Great night funds.

I check your updates every day.

Very nice.

Very nice.

Okay, good.

Good.

Good.

Looks nice.

Let's go to the next group.

This next group is like features that you can use on different platforms.

So the first feature here is to mute to mute.

I think maybe many people know to mute, so to mute means to turn off like someone's updates.

You turn off the updates, but you do not unfollowed them so mute is like if you just turn off the sound.

If you just turn out the words, you continue to follow someone, but you don't see their updates.

So, for example, if you have someone who posts like 10 or 20 times a day on Facebook or instagram or Twitter and they're your friend, but that's a lot of information you can mute that person to mute someone is just to remove their updates from your feet to mute someone.

Past tense is muted, muted, muted.

So, for example, I muted a few people recently.

Or did you mute me?

So to mute someone means to stop receiving their updates, but to continue following them?

Haley Alia says, I mute people who post spam.

Yes, exactly two mute people or to mute the phone number.

Can you do that?

I wonder.

Some people say I muted some notifications.

Nice on Edgard.

Good, good, good.

Yeah, You, Brahim on Facebook said, Make them silent.

That's exactly it.

So you continue to follow.

But that person is like silent on your feet.

So to mute can be very useful.

Sometimes they're your friend, but maybe you don't want to see so many updates.

Someone on YouTube says I muted my Facebook friend, who always posts herself eyes.

Oh, really?

Yeah.

Sometimes there's a lot a lot of selfies for sure.

Good.

Okay, let's go to the next one, which is to block to block is different from two mute.

To block someone is to remove them from your contact list.

Yes, and to prevent that person to prevent that account from checking from seeing your posts.

So if there's a strange person on your like on your counter, if there's a strange person following you, you get strange messages.

Or maybe you need thio end a relationship or something.

Something happens.

You can block that person.

They cannot see your updates and you don't see any messages.

You don't see any from that person.

So past tense is blocked.

Blocked?

I blocked her or I blocked him.

A strange person sent me messages and I blocked him right away.

That's true.

So Okay, so to block is different from two mute.

Okay, uh, Gertrudis says Mute is similar to ignore.

Yes, it's similar, but when you ignore someone, you can still you can see all of their information, but you choose not thio like react or like like it or anything.

When you mute someone, you don't see the information at all, so you can't see it.

So, like, uh, what's a good example?

So yeah, if maybe you decided to mute me like you follow me on Instagram.

But I post like the same selfie 10 times a day.

And you're like, I don't want this information, but I want to continue following Alicia.

Maybe I want to check in the future.

You can mute me.

Please don't make me.

Hopefully you don't need me.

But you can mute that and then you don't have to see all of that span.

Okay, let's go then.

To the next verb which is to edit to edit to edit is a useful function.

We have edit functions on Facebook and on Instagram.

We cannot edit on Twitter, so to edit means to change the text of your post.

So I used post as a verb here we can use post as a noun.

Also, the thing that you share so to edit, means to change the content of your post.

So if you read your post Oh, no.

I made a mistake.

You can go fix that.

So to fix your post to make a change to your post is too at it to edit that past tense form is edited edited.

So I do this a lot.

Like after I post something I check, I realized Oh, no, I have a typo.

So I edit my posts.

I edited my post last night so that it is a very useful feature.

Okay, uh, then someone I think Leo mentioned this already to spam to spam is the next verb.

Um, this is also unknown.

So spam means junk spam means just unnecessary, useless stuff.

Maybe some people posed a lot of jokes and that seems like spam.

I don't know, but spam is junk.
