and tell episode the moment we started the class I was like how would you say El um I went right for it the said and the says which a lot of people usually make a mistake there and they mispronounce it at least Spanish speakers they say say say and tell it's not say it's says says I said so a shout out to all my patrons especially my Interstellar students Garmin lenina Issa bakle David J Maria and Edgard awesome stuff all right well as we just said put is very easy to conjugate it's put put put just like another verb set which we'll be looking at too Set set set so let's take a look at the intro I put a couple things in there as always I I put like an expression or a phrasal verb in the intro I said can you put up with you've got to know this phrase over can you put up with put well you'd better put up or shut up and this is an expression that means put your money where your mouth is it means accompany your words with action right and we'll look at that expression in the bonus part put your money where your mouth is put up or shut up so there's some really good expressions and and and also collocation or a phrasal verb whatever you'd like to call it in the intro so let's start with our PDFs over here if you are in my community well you can just follow along take notes but remember the important part isn't writing things down it's repeating after me it's when I ask you turn it into a question that you can do that quickly and that yours sounds something like mine all right now let's define this very useful verb to put to put means to move or place something in a particular position or location to bring into a specified state or condition also to express or convey to convey is to transmit in a particular manner blah blah blah blah blah all right great let's use it in context isn't that how you really learn something by seeing it as we put in class remember David in its natural habitat as I like to say all right uh well the first usage is to move or play something in a particular position or location now remember there's a common mistake that people uh use that people make I should say in Spanish and they say put this in English simp put it there put it on the Shelf put it on you've got to specify where it's going you can't just say put it Bon like in Spanish so there's one rule over there also another one B do we say put me a beer no give me a beer I wouldn't say that it sounds aggressive I would say I would like a beer or may I have a beer when you get a chance remember we've got an episode on bars or restaurants I'm sure we've got episodes where we take a look at that vocabulary so let's look at the examples of moving something to a particular position or location please put the book on the Shelf please put the book on the Shelf it's not in the Shelf in on where do you put the book now think about it please put the book in the closet I know you these prepositions can be a little bit confusing because in Spanish you have in we have in on and at so you have a 333333 chance of getting it right and something like that so please put the book on the Shelf we've also looked at that that's an irregular plural so shelf one Shelf two shelves V shelves the next one she put her keys on the table she put her keys on the table ask me did she put her keys on the table yeah she put her keys on the table she didn't put them she didn't put them on the night table okay the night table makes sense m not very similar there she didn't put them and remember in Americans we eat that th she didn't put them she didn't put them on the night table say mist she didn't put them on the night table she didn't put them on the night table she put them on the table on the coffee table the coffee table is salon by the way we have an episode of FYI on English at home I think it's a a really really useful episode why well don't you spend time at home well then you should know all the different rooms all the different things you can do all the different things you have in your house so that's the first example over there the next one to bring into a specified state or condition so in this kind idea let's see he put the car into gear he put the car into gear ask me did he not did he did he put the car into gear yeah he put the car into gear okay he put it in reverse and it reminds me of the expression to change gears let's change gears so to put the car into gear the next one put the kettle on to boil Kettle do you know the word the kettle all you have to do is think of my British friends they love kettles and I think a kettle's a great thing a kettle is something that heats water so if you're going to have some tea you have to put the kettle on to boil right and boil is Ed read you probably know the expression we looked at it in the cooking episode I'm sure it all boils down to we also looked at it in the [ __ ] episode it comes down to it boils down to did you know these Expressions I know you're familiar with them but have you used them well try and put them into your own context that's what I always tell you too when you learn an idiomatic expression or an adjective or anything try and find a place in your life in your context where you can use it all right the next one is to express or convey in a particular manner example he put his thoughts into words he put his thoughts into words ask me did Hees he he puts his thoughts into words he puts his thoughts into words okay does he put his thoughts into words he put He put his thought his thoughts into words words did he put his thoughts into words and remember the pronunciation of thought we looked at think a couple weeks ago I thought I taught you that bought caught and fought are all pronounced the same so you you you ought to know thank you thank you I'll be here all week let's take a look at the next one she put it nicely to put it nicely she put it nicely when she said we needed to improve okay she put it nicely ask me did she put it nicely when she said you needed to improve yeah yeah she put it nicely she was really diplomatic when she said it all right the next one is to ass sign or a tribute okay she put the blame on him is our first example she put the repeat after me she put the blame on him okay now ask me did she put the blame on him yeah she put the blame on him now you can also say she blamed him direct so that's up to you but it reminds me of a song I'm Only Human After All don't put your blame on me great song by the way don't put your blame on me I'm only human wonderful song we'll take a look at music in the bonus part we always take a look at the verb in music and movies but as you know I'm a song bird I love singing all throughout my classes in fact I don't think there's ever been one class whether it's a video class an audio class a zoom class or um you know a face-to-face class I don't think there's one class where I haven't sung I'm serious I'm serious so she put the blame on him all right I've got a little trivia question for you here this is a tough one for my students well for I think throughout the years this is a question that drives people nuts okay did you say whose fault is it great job can you make it indirect do you know whose fault it is no it is right no eltina do you know whose fault it is it's not my fault so don't put the blame on me let's take a look at the next example he put a lot of effort into his work ask me did he did he put a lot of effort did he did he put a lot of effort a lot of or a lot of SCA did he put a lot of effort into his work no into into SCA L repo did he put a lot of effort into his work yeah he put a lot of effort into his work he's a hard worker all right just like you guys reminds me of my Amigos the next one is to invest or allocate to invest this is a false f a false friend because you say inverted but to invert something is to turn it upside down right to put money on something is um to invest and the noun is called an investment so if you invest in your English it's an investment all right let's take a look at it in context she put her savings into a new business venture she put her savings ssaos into a new business venture we've looked at that word before Venture not Adventure Venture it's a project a business and it sounds a lot better than business right oh how's your new Venture going the Venture capitalists people who invest in new companies right these firms that are called VES Venture capitalists so you'll see that word especially if you read Financial papers she put her savings into a new business venture ask me did she put her savings into a new business venture yeah she did she did no she didn't right and savings the verb is to save or to save up right and how would we say we say your checking account checking account right and how would you say your Salo which I always used to mix up with swo swo salary Salo your balance your balance if you want to learn this there's an episode on money and I go over all of this vocabulary so the the next example with investing or allocating they put a lot of money a lot of I said a lot of do you know any lead Zeppelin fans in the house got a whole lot of love got a whole lot of love a whole lot a whole lot of muchisimo I got a whole lot of love if you don't know the song it's great and you can put together the got I've got a whole lot of love oh man hey that's the way we really talk though not the way it's written but you guys know that already that's why you're practicing aloud the next one they put a lot of money into the project not project project project ask me did they put a lot of money into the project oh yeah they put tons of money into the project all right and then we've got to subject a subject isan to subject someone to to something okay they subjected him to torture I'm sure you're familiar with the word just telling you the pronunciation is a little bit different right the subject in a sentence was subjected B so to subject or expose which I think you know expose expon so as you know we'll look at a lot of synonyms here and antonyms but we're get into that in just a little bit let's take a look at these examples he was put through a rigorous training program he was put through reported speech so he was put through a rigorous training program ask me was heos was he put through a rigorous training program oh yeah he was put through a rigorous training program it reminds me of the training program over at vaugh many of you know if you don't know I have a radio show I have a a daily radio show you can just Google it or you can find it wherever you listen to podcasts wherever you're listening to this just search for the show with no name and my name Alberto Alonso it's been on the air for over 15 years and it's whacky CHL you can tune in every day also guys I have five books five books to help you learn English and have fun and if you're in our highest level in my community the interstellar level you get all five of my books in PDF format the day you sign up so that's kind of cool to sign up a really good phrasal verb if you didn't know it all right another example of to subject or to Expose she put herself at Risk by speaking out and to speak out is to voice your opinion right the you need to speak out you can also say to speak up no okay so she put herself at risk by speaking out ask me your turn did she put herself at risk by speaking out oh yeah she put herself at risk by speaking out and careful with the pronunciation there risk risk the adjective risky which we looked at in our sex episode because risque is steamy um subido I think you say no it's a little bit too put the kids to bed it's risque all right just don't confuse them because risky and risque there's just like a little difference there but in the end the devil's in the details I mean I when people say oh man that's just a little detail I'm like yeah what do you think made matis matis or Monae or Picasso what made them what makes ACDC ACDC it's their sound it's their Signature Sign up signature that's a confusing one I hope you're not one of those people who says Alberto can I sing and I say okay go ahead sing he said no no feed him out I'm like well that's sign and I usually make you sing at that point well hey you asked you asked and I'm a man of my word you want to sing go for it all right let's take a look here at the last usage of this very useful verb which as you know in the bonus episode we're going to take a look at all the phrasal verbs all the idiomatic expressions we'll hear it in songs and also in movies and then I'm going to put you to the test although as you know I put you to the test all throughout the episode so I hope you guys are not just listening passively but I hope you're also speaking aloud and every time I tell you say this ask me this that you're doing it and if you're doing that you are definitely making the most of it all right so the last one is to record or write down to write down a remember write is an irregular verb which we're going to look at too in this series every day I write I seeis yesterday I wrote it down and lately lately I've written things down write wrote written okay written written written written all right put your name on the list put your name on the list let's turn it into a negative question if he house list is on right so why didn't you put your name on the list why didn't you put your name why didn't you why didn't you put your name on the list you should have you should have put your name on the list right why didn't you put your name on the list and it reminds me of the expression your bucket list we've looked at that in many episodes if something is on your bucket list because it's not in it's it's on my bucket list well it's a list of things I want to do before I kick the bucket as you say hey you're not the only ones who love idiomatic expressions all right and the last one here she put her ideas on paper she put her ideas on paper ask me did she put her ideas on paper yeah she put her ideas on paper she puts she puts her ideas on paper ask me does she does she put her ideas on paper did you get it guys all right let's take a look at some synonyms to set which is kind of cool right because set is another one of those verbs that's every day I set yesterday I set lately I've set as I said I hope you guys are set Leos because we're going to look at that verb in this essential collection another one is to place to place makes sense right this is a really good one to know it's to misplace something before we were talking about keys well my wife and her glasses she always misplaces her glasses because to lose yes lose but to miss places the next one is to lay which don't worry we're going to take a look at an episode with lay versus lie even native speakers get mixed up with those so don't worry we'll clear those up next to position but it is a synonym nonetheless the next one is to arrange to rearrange okay I rearranged the furniture in the living room it's a great one to know and some antonyms for the verb to put to remove to stir nice job another one to extract the dentist extracted a Moler right UNAM extract by the way we have an episode on teeth if you haven't given it a listen this one is to withdraw to withdraw let's see if you can conjugate it every day I withdraw money yesterday yesterday I withdrew money and lately lately I've withdrawn drawn money all right it's the same as draw thear the next one is to displace very similar to misplace which we looked at when we were looking at to place something and the last one to lift something which would be I think the equivalent of levantad all right my Amigos we have reached the end of this episode the good news is we have a bonus episode and we're going to learn so much so I hope you'll join us in this week's bonus episode of FY I
