Welcome to BBC Learning English, I'm Sam, and
today we are looking at the difference between 'every time' and 'all the time'. We use 'all
the time' to talk about something that always or usually happens, for example: Many people
think that in the UK it rains all the time, and yes, it does rain a lot. We use 'every time'
when we are talking about each individual time something happens, for example: Every time I go
to the beach, it rains. We don't know how often I go to the beach but each ind
ividual time I go,
it rains. There, we hope you learn something every time you watch one of these videos. Hi everybody,
I'm James, and welcome back to this week's English in a Minute. This week, we're going to look at
the differences between 'actually' and 'at the moment'. These two phrases are often confused, so
let's take a look at an example: At the moment, I'm making this program, but actually, I should
be in a meeting. So, this sentence shows both phrases but they're actually quite dif
ferent.
Let's break it down. 'At the moment, I'm making this program'. As you can see, I'm making this
program right now. So, 'at the moment' means 'now' or 'in the present'. 'but actually, I should be
in a meeting. Now, in this part of my sentence, 'actually' isn't talking about time at all.
'Actually' means 'in fact' or 'in reality'. So, if you want to talk about now, say 'at the
moment' but if you want to say 'in reality' say 'actually'. At the moment, I want to go and
make a coffee, bu
t actually, I think I'll go back to my desk. Bye. Hello ladies and gentlemen, Tom here for BBC Learning English. Today I'm going to explain the difference between 'everyone'
and 'anyone'. When I say 'hello everyone', I'm talking to all the people in a group or
all the people watching this video. 'Anyone', however, relates to any one individual person in a group, and we often use it to ask questions. For example: Is anyone listening? Or: Can anyone answer today's question? Here, I'm asking if a
ny individuals in the group
are listening. If the whole group is listening, we can say: 'Yes, everyone is listening', which
is something that English teachers love to hear! Hi, everyone! I'm Saskia, and in this episode
we're going to look at what it means when we add the word 'ever' to the end of a question
word. The most important thing to know is that when we add 'ever' to a question word, it's not
talking about anything specific. It often means we don't know the 'who' or the 'where' or t
hey
are not important. Let's look at some examples: Whoever ate my cake is in big trouble. This
example means that I do not know who ate my cake. Whenever I go to the cafe there are never
any sandwiches left. This means the time when I go to the cafe is not important. I never put on
weight so I can eat whatever I like. This means what I eat isn't important. The puppy followed
the girl wherever she went. By adding 'ever' to 'where' it means the place is not important. So,
if you want to say
the time, place, person or thing you're talking about is not important or unknown,
just add 'ever' to the correct question word. Hi everyone. What's the difference between 'maybe'
and 'may be'? Well, we're going to find out in this English in a Minute. 'May' is used to express
possibility, usually not a very certain one. It's a modal verb, so it's always followed by a bare
infinitive. The bare infinitive of 'be' is 'be'. Using the two together, we can make a
sentence. Don't call her - she
may be at work now. 'Maybe' is just one word. It's an adverb
and it has a few uses. Most commonly it means 'perhaps' or 'possibly'. In this case, it's often
the first word in the sentence. Don't call her. Maybe she's at work. However, put it in front
of an amount to mean 'around' or 'approximately': This video will be seen by maybe a million
people. Make it happen, people. Hi, I'm Phil, and I'm going to tell you the difference between 'go on doing' and 'go on to do something'. Now, the meani
ng of 'go on' depends on whether it's
followed by the gerund or the infinitive. So, if we have 'go on doing', that's the gerund. It means
'to continue doing something'. So, for example: 'I'd like to go on talking now' or 'I really
like this city. I'd like to go on living here for years'. 'Go on to do' - that's the infinitive -
means 'to progress on to something', for example: 'I'd like to go on to study more languages' or
'You could go on to have an even better job'. Just remember that if y
ou go on doing something, you
don't change, and if you go on to do something, you do change. So, if you go on practising
your English, you'll go on to be even better than you are now. Welcome, everyone. Sam from
BBC Learning English here. You probably already know that in English we have some verbs that are
always followed by the infinitive, for example: 'want', and other verbs that are always followed
by the gerund, for example: 'enjoy'. But we also have some verbs in English that can be f
ollowed
by either the infinitive or the gerund, and the meaning will change, for example: 'remember'.
'Remember to bring your umbrella.' Where, first you remember, and then you bring your umbrella.
This is commonly used when talking about the future. I remember meeting my best friend when I
was little. Where, first I met my best friend, and then I remembered it. This is now a memory. So,
it's commonly used when talking about the past. Hi, I'm Tim, and I'm going to tell you the
difference b
etween 'too' and 'enough', when we use them as adverbs. They refer to quantity,
but there's an important difference. 'Enough' is usually positive - it means that something
is suitable or sufficient. Oh great! This T-shirt's big enough - it'll fit me perfectly.
It's colourful enough for my sister's party. 'Too' usually has a negative meaning. It's used to
say that something is a problem or it's unsuitable in some way. Oh no! This is too short. I can't wear
this. It's too late to find anythin
g else to wear! So, if we have 'enough', it's probably a good thing,
but if you see 'too', it's a bad thing. Let's learn some common uses of the word 'present'.
Firstly, 'present' as a noun is another word to mean 'gift'. What's the best present you've ever
received? 'Present' can also be used as a noun to mean 'now' - this very minute, often with 'the'
- 'the present'. Stop talking about the future, and start living in the present. We also use
'present' as an adjective to mean 'in a partic
ular place'. I was present for all seven classes. This
word can also be used as a verb, but listen to the difference in pronunciation. 'Present'. 'Present'
can mean 'show something to someone'. It's quite formal. You can present research or information in
a meeting. I presented the results of the survey to the rest of the team. Finally, 'present' can
also be used as a verb to mean 'introduce someone to others'. I'd like to present my friend Nick. Hi guys, this is Kee from BBC Learning Englis
h, and today, I'm going to tell you about some
informal ways of using English. Now, in English, when we have scheduled formal meetings, we can say
we 'have an appointment'. So, for example I can say: I have an appointment with my doctor, or I have an
appointment with my lawyer, but you never ever say I have an appointment with my friends. That's
too formal. Now, to talk about appointments with friends, we simply say 'I'm meeting my
friends this weekend'. So, it's 'meet someone', not 'have a
n appointment'. Remember, 'meet
someone.' And I'll meet you next week.
