comments have we got any sentences here let's have a look you're doing great guys you're doing amazing you're doing an English lesson on a Sunday you guys are so good well done okay next one we have run through I use this all the time as an English teacher because it means to quickly go over something to quickly talk about something so before the test let's run through the important topics one more time okay let's just talk about them really quickly just to make sure we know them run through really really useful it's a phrasal verb so you can use it in the past tense in the present whatever you want okay reconcile reconcile so it's not reconcile even though there's an O reconcile and it means to make up after a fight to be friends again so maybe you've had an argument you hate that person you say I'm never talking to you again Richard get out of my face but then you reconcile and you are friends again and everything's good and we're all happy reconcile number six pragmatic pragmatic is a really useful adjective and it is a combination of practical and sensible it's not silly it's not crazy it's really realistic so instead of worrying about perfection take a pragmatic approach to solving the problem let's think about let's think about it sensibly and practically let's not be crazy right now okay why not okay go along with we've got another phrasal verb phrasal verbs I know they're so hard to learn but you'll get there I promise so agreeing with someone or doing what they suggest so even though I wanted Pizza I decided to go along with my friends and try the new burger place or if you are lying to somebody although I'm sure you never lie I'm sure you don't but if you are lying to somebody you might say to your friend who you're with hey I'm going to tell this person that I'm sick just go along with it just just agree with me just do what I suggest just go along with it go along with it can you use it in a sentence any of these words you've seen so far

that stays with you or makes you feel a certain way so the lyrics of that song really resonate with me they feel like they're speaking to my experiences so it it it stays with you it makes you it makes you feel emotional it gives you a certain feeling like wow resonate is comes from um sound so if you go to um a church and you stand in the middle and you go ah the sound sounds amazing because the sound resonates against the walls it makes vibrations so when a song or a poem resonates with you it's like there's vibrations in your body you're like wow I feel that so deeply resonate ambiguous something that's not clear we don't know what it is ambiguous is it do you mean this or do you mean this the instructions were ambigu ambiguous the instructions were ambiguous and I couldn't figure out what to do isn't that the truth by another adjective so showing if something is like you show favoritism and you're letting your personal interests affect your decisions so the news article seemed biased because it only told one side of the story or if my daughter is in a competition and I am the judge of the competition that's not fair I'm biased because I will let my daughter win because she's my daughter I'm I'm being biased in that decision so we've had our first 10 words what do we think have we got any sentences here that people have done let's have a look um oh someone put she is thriving that's a good one yes she's thriving let's run through our finances today so we've gone back to run through let's run through our finances so let's just have a quick look at our finances to make sure that they're all good um what else do we got oh someone new reassure that's good well done everybody you're doing great I love it British English is the best but I am biased that's what someone said so someone's just said British English is the best but I am biased maybe that person is British so they would be biased towards British English okay let's do the next 10 you're doing so well all of these words you don't have to learn all of them right now but come back to this video try to get all these words cuz if you can add these to your vocabulary oh my goodness amazing okay next one we've got another phrasal verb carry out so this could be literal if you you have a child who's crying you might want to carry them out of the room that's the physical one but also it just

it's saying or doing the opposite of what someone else said so it's confusing when people contradict themselves by changing their story so maybe they told you one thing and then later on they said a different thing well they are contradicting themselves they're going they're doing the opposite of what they said before contradict a verb if intense okay this is an adjective and it means very strong or serious so we might use it to talk about a flavor very strong flavor we might use it to talk about a film it was very serious and crazy uh we might use it to talk about a person they're a bit whoa

any of of these words tell me in the comments praise so there's a song by who is it is it a Fat Boy Slim and it goes we've been a long long way together through the good times and the bed I'm just having a sing song now give me a minute we have to celebrate you baby I have to praise you like I should listen to that song Praise You Fat Boy Slim amazing so praise is just saying something nice about someone's work or effort so the teacher gave praise to the students for their outstanding project so praise could be a verb but also in this sentence it's been used as an ad as a noun to give praise as a noun but you can use it as a verb as well I will praise you I will tell you that you did something good well done everybody does anybody know that song I have to praise you like I should great monitor okay monitor is a verb and it means keep doing something making sure that things don't change making sure that things stay how you want them to monitor okay parents often monitor their

to come here I'm going to come back here so dry up is uh to do with literally something being dry so if I poured water on my sleeve I would have to wait for it to dry up for for things to dry up or it could be if something becomes less successful so you could say well I used to sell a lot of shoes at my shoe store but sales have dried up it's it's got dry it's not as uh moist anymore it's not as
