and in today's lesson I'm going to teach you 10 different expressions

未來簡單式

with the word "load". Some of these expressions are going to be slang expressions,

some of them are going to be verbs, nouns, adjectives;

and they all have very, very different meanings.

So with the word "load", you might see it a lot. It has a lot of different

possible meanings, so you're going to learn 10 today.

I'm also going to teach you two different strategies you should use when you see a word

you don't know. Okay? So, in this case, we have the word "load" in many different ways.

I'm going to teach you two strategies you should use whenever you see a word you don't

know or recognize. Okay? So let's talk about the strategies first, and then I'm going to

teach you about the different ways we use the word "load".

Okay, so when you come across a word you don't know, the first thing you should do is you

should try to figure out how much information you can get from it.

You can try to figure out if it's a noun, which is a person, a place, or a thing.

Is it an adjective? Which means: Does it describe something?

Or is it an adverb? Does it describe a verb? Okay?

So it's good to know these words, and to try to figure out if a word is

a noun, a verb, an adverb, or an adjective. Okay?

Another thing you should do when you come across a new word is you should try to guess

what it means based on the words around it. Okay? We call this "context".

So, you should look at the sentence, look at the words in the sentence, and look at some of the words

in the other sentence, and try to guess what the word means before you look in the dictionary

or before you ask your teacher. Remember: The more effort and the more work you do for

a word, the more likely you will remember it. Okay? So you want to work hard to remember

these words. You want to guess what they mean before you actually find out what they mean.

So let's get started with the word "load". Okay, so I have here the first example we're

going to do, and that is the word "loaded" with "ed".

"Bill Gates is loaded. He has so much money."

All right? So I want you to take a moment and

think: Is this a noun, a verb, an adjective, or an adverb?

Well, it ends in "ed", okay? So that means it's probably going

to either be a verb or an adjective, because both of these often end in "ed".

But because it's followed by "is": "Bill Gates is loaded", it sounds like "loaded" is describing Bill Gates.

So it's an adjective. Okay? So in this case, "loaded" is an adjective. It's describing

Bill Gates. "Bill Gates is loaded." That's a description of Bill Gates. Okay, so we've

done the first one. What about the second one? What do you think "loaded" means? Okay?

So look at all the words in the sentence. What do you know about Bill Gates?

If you focus on "much money" and "Bill Gates", you know

Bill Gates is rich; he has a lot of money. "Loaded" means rich. So we can guess that

it means rich, based on the words around it. So, I'm going to write that here.

The first meaning of the word "loaded" is rich. I have a friend, she's loaded. She lives in a mansion.

Okay? Prince William is loaded. You know, he's a prince, he's going to have a lot of

money. I wish I was loaded. Unfortunately, I'm not, but it would be so great to be loaded.

Okay, so we have the word again, "loaded". This is another different meaning of the word.

Okay, so I want you to look at the example.

So first, let's ask ourselves: Is it a noun, verb, adjective, or adverb?

Okay? So we look here: "She is loaded." Well, again, it ends in "ed", so

this is a clue. Usually verbs or adjectives end in "ed". In this case, we can guess that

it's an adjective, because it's after "is" and so it's describing the woman. She is loaded.

She is happy. She is sad. So, "loaded" is an adjective, just like "happy" or "sad".

"She's loaded. She had 10 beers." So let's try to guess. What do you think this means?

Okay? So you know she's loaded. You know it has to do with beer, and it has to do with 10.

10 beers. Is that a lot of beer or a little? If you drink 10 beers, 10 bottles of beer,

what would happen? Well, if you said you'd probably be very drunk, you're right.

In this case, "loaded" means very drunk. Okay? If you have 10 shots of tequila, what are you?

You're probably loaded. If you spend the whole night at the bar, drinking, doing shots with

your friends, you are probably loaded. You are drunk. You are loaded. Okay? So this is

the second meaning of the word "loaded". Both of these-it's very important to know-are slang

expressions. So you would never use this language in an essay; you would use it in a conversation

with your friends. Okay? So now let's look at some other examples of words... Or other

examples of "load" and "loaded" and their meanings.

Okay, so our next expression-I really like this one actually-is: "a load of crap" or

"a load of rubbish". So one of these is more American English, "a load of crap", whereas

the other one, "a load of rubbish" is more British English. Okay? So "a load of crap",

American; "a load of rubbish", more British. Okay, so let's look at our sentence and try

to figure out if this is a noun, an adverb, an adjective, or a verb. Okay?

"Mark said Michael Jackson lives in his basement. What a load of crap/rubbish!" Okay?

do you think...? What do you think it is? A noun, adjective, adverb, verb?

Well, if you look at what comes before "load",

Any time we see an article, we know that the word afterwards

"What a load of crap", we could also say: "It is a load of crap". "Load" is a noun in

this case. Okay, so let's try to guess what the meaning is.

"Mark said Michael Jackson lives in his basement."

And I actually knew a guy in high school who said this, and he

was being serious. He said: -"Michael Jackson lives in his basement." -"What a load of crap",

I said. So, do you think I believed Mark, or do you think I don't believe him?

Okay, if I say: "What a load of crap", it means

I think Mark is lying. Mark is not being honest.

Mark is being stupid. He's wrong. Okay? So that means I don't believe or I don't agree.

Okay? You know, if somebody says: "Global warming isn't happening. It's not true."

I think it's true, so I would say: "What a load of crap. It's true." Okay? It means I don't

agree. I don't believe it. I think it's true. So, in terms of this,

"load of crap/load of rubbish", do you think it's formal or informal?

Would we use this expression, you know, on

an essay at university, or would we use it with our friends? This expression we would

not use at university on an essay; it's for using with your friends. Okay? So it's informal,

it's slang. But it's really common. Okay? So if you don't agree with somebody or if
