Super lesson! I learned a lot. It was good to see low-key being explained, As you know, I used it incorrectly just recently. It also has another meaning I see. There is also "dope." I thought it meant unintelligent. It is actually complimentary. Once someone wrote it as a comment to one of my videos. I deleted the "emotionally damaging" comment. That was a bit of a bark. A bit of a bark = A trifle irksome A trifle irksome = Annoying.
Wow! Thank you. :) Well, with all the variation I'm hearing, I don't know if you can use "low-key" wrong, just differently. I heard "dope" back in the 90s. It was praise. The first association I have, though, is with drugs. No wonder slang can be very confusing!
@@Englishwithjennifer It is important to learn slang words. In the lesson, we can see how they are evolving. English is a topic that just keeps on giving. 🥳
Hey there! I'd like to let you know that, 11 years ago, a professor of mine recommended your channel for the class to practice. You've helped me a lot on my journey, so thank you! I have since become an English teacher myself and recommend your content to my students as well. Love from Brazil.
Hi! How lovely of you to write and leave me such an uplifting comment. Thank you. I'm thrilled to learn you entered the teaching profession. May you enjoy all the rewards it offers! Thank you also for recommending my videos. Please know I post content on Instagram too. I hope you'll follow my blog for teachers. englishwithjennifer.wordpress.com/ Warm regards from the USA!
Who made the cake? (who = subject) > Who is making the cake? Who makes cakes? Who will make the cake? Who has made cakes? Who did he meet? (who[m] = object) > Who is he meeting? Who will he meet? Who has he met?
Hee hee. I don't encourage use of all this slang, especially if you don't belong to Generation Z. I just wanted to explain the words since they're out there and you'll likely hear them spoken by young people. For more exposure, you can follow young vloggers or find examples on YouGlish.com or GetYarn.
That use I understand. A low-key wedding is small, quiet, and not elaborate. Right? They didn't likely post about it on social media or in the local newspaper.
Hi,jenny Long time not chatting with u .Jst a qt; why don't we double the consonant in the comparative form of " new " even of it is monosyllabic word?also, in this qt do I put comma or semi colon ?after just qt?
Hi. "Ew" in "new" represents the vowel sound /u/. It's different from "net" where each letter represents a sound and the final t is a consonant. Stress isn't usually placed on suffixes, so "netting" uses a double tt and -ing remained unstressed. When we link /nu/ and /ɚ/, we need the help of /y/. That's not different from linking "to each," which also uses /y/ to link /u/ and /ɚ/. You can write: 1) Just wanted to ask a question. Why don't we...? 2) Question: Why don't we...?
@@Englishwithjennifer hello again Jenn,in teaching English to children and in a conversation do we say do you prefer tea to coffee ? Do you prefer tea or coffee?are both correct?.- Also,pls to supply the right punctuation in my previous question.
I am not able to find whether the verb in a sentence is a stative verb or a linking verb....What is the easy trick to identify the difference?.... The below three are just sample sentences but i am confused with the concept .... He is a good boy He is/looks handsome I feel tired....
According to Wren and Martin grammar book,verbs of appearing(appear,look,seem,resemble) and verbs of being(be,weigh,cost) are part of state verbs... But according to some grammar rules,the word which connects the subject to its complement is a linking verb Which rule should we follow? He looks beautiful..."Look" is a stative verb or a linking verb???
As I understand, linking verbs are stative verbs, but not all stative verbs are linking verbs. More info: learnenglish.britishcouncil.org/grammar/b1-b2-grammar/stative-verbs#:~:text=Stative%20verbs%20often%20relate%20to,love%2C%20prefer%2C%20want%2C%20wish
Good to se you after a while dear and I bet ya that today's lessons was a slap...👋👋👊🏿 Btw, I will go out on this weekend to a nice ladies night bar and rizz up some really good looking women.. 😯🤩🤭😂😂😍 Good day dear.. Hugs and love!!. Gams ❤️ (Sri Lanka)
Cool. I just found Ur channel, , and I found U to be MOSTly Hip to new Gen Z slang... You, I think, are probably about my age...53, or SO... & are Fairly Generally, pretty Slap at deciphering and elucidating terms, but, 😅 I'm FAIRLY certain that, while "cringy" is Technically...On the Mark in your example sentence, that "Crnge" is more slang-proper for hat particular wording there...I THINK. Even to my Gen X ear, you using "cringe-Y" there was pretty Cringe.😂 Sorry, but no Cap, Sis❤ I Love Grammar too! The kids' Grammar these days is Nightmarishly apathetically incompetently malidroit, for goodness sake! Hurts my ears and literally sickens me. I'm not referring to the slang ..or terminology, but the commonality of grammatical error...even adopted by professionals who are supposed to be adept at the use of correct and proper English...Like Newscasters even..or senators...EVERYbody! It's CRAZY. I'm facepalming and holding down the bile in the back of my throat...ughggg! SINPLE , yet Exreme benighted speach...not mistakes, but the apparent adaptation of American "English". "No, Suzie...shitts aren't inthere. There's socks in that drawer." 🙄🤦♀️😭
Ha ha. You certainly had fun with that comment! I think the younger generation is helping me be more tolerant and more relaxed. I still prefer standard grammar, but I don't follow prescriptive grammar 100% of the time myself. I hope American English maintains some standard as we go on, though. I'm more concerned about the loss of etiquette. For example, watching political debates and discussions is difficult because it's become the norm to interrupt and talk over others. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Great, Jennifer! I'm also a generation x mom and teacher. Love your videos!🧡
Ha ha. I bet if we used some '80s slang, the Gen Zers wouldn't follow!
Thanks for stopping by.
❤thanks Jennifer..god bless

Hi Jennifer :
who made the cake ?
who did he meet ?
when do we use the helping verb with wh questions ?
thank you so much
Who made the cake? (who = subject)
> Who is making the cake? Who makes cakes? Who will make the cake? Who has made cakes?
Who did he meet? (who[m] = object)
> Who is he meeting? Who will he meet? Who has he met?
Thank you, Jennifer! Slang is a very interesting topic to learn.
I wouldn't address this on a regular basis. :)
@@Englishwithjennifer Always interesting to know what is around the corner:)
Hi there!!
Congrats!!
I'm a new on your channel and I am subscribed now, I love your videos!! 😊😇
Super! Thank you. Please use my playlists. I hope you can join the monthly livestream this Friday. :)
Check the community tab for announcements.
I am glad to find you! Do you have some worksheet related your video. I want to practice.

A) How was his brother's engagement ceremony.
B) it was a quite low-key function. They just had invited some of their close relatives.
That use I understand. A low-key wedding is small, quiet, and not elaborate. Right? They didn't likely post about it on social media or in the local newspaper.
Yup, it was/it's!
It was./It is.
Nice lesson
Thanks! 😃 Have a good week!
A) Your boo went out with my bestie yesterday night.
B) That cap, he can't cheat on me.
I won't even try to correct sentences with slang. There will be a lot of variation. To each his own!
I actually know "boo" and "bestie." :) Ha ha.
Hahaha! Sounds great, but I would be grateful if you could fix up my sentence ,in case; there's any errors.
Better to say "last night."
@@Englishwithjennifer
Thank you for the suggestion, as well correction.
God bless you!
Hi Jennifer
Hello!
A) What happened to you? - you're looking a tad down today.
B) er, I'm lowkey worried about my result.
Now I understand that kind of comment. :)
I have some remorse for what i did.
What type of sentence is this?
(What i did) what is this clause?
An embedded question, which is a type of noun clause. Some call it a wh-clause.

The below three are just sample sentences but i am confused with the concept ....
He is a good boy
He is/looks handsome
I feel tired....
Those are linking verbs. The subject complements follow: a good boy, handsome, tired.
According to Wren and Martin grammar book,verbs of appearing(appear,look,seem,resemble) and verbs of being(be,weigh,cost) are part of state verbs...
But according to some grammar rules,the word which connects the subject to its complement is a linking verb

As I understand, linking verbs are stative verbs, but not all stative verbs are linking verbs.

gen z speak bad english
I think it's interesting to compare the generations. They've come up with some very clever expressions.
