Hello everybody. My name is Coach Shane and welcome to Easy English Expressions.
You and me every day.
Come on let's master English.
English. Hello everybody, welcome back to daily easy English expression.
Today's podcast is brought to you by you.
To all my patrons, to all the investors, thank you so much for your sponsorship.
You guys are awesome.
I sincerely mean that, thank you very much. And today's expression extremely useful, two words, here we go.
What for? What for?
What for? W -H -A -T -F -O -R.
What for? I think many of you know.
It simply means why.
So today I'm going to teach you not only what for, but three other ways to say what for Namely, why.
Another way is, for what, for what?
And another one, how come?
And they all mean the same thing.
Why, why, for what?
What for? How come?
Now what is tricky is the grammar structure can change slightly the structure of the sentence depending on the question.
So for example, what are you studying English for?
What for, what are you studying English for?
Why are you studying English?
How come You are studying English!
For what are you studying English?
For what reason are you studying English?
Why are you studying English?
Did you hear that again?
Did you hear that? Okay, let me give you another question.
Listen carefully, for the change.
Are you ready? Why did you order a hamburger?
for what did you order a hamburger?
How come you ordered a hamburger?
What did you order a hamburger for?
One more time. Why did you order a hamburger?
For what for what reason for what did you order a hamburger how come you ordered a hamburger what did you order a hamburger for so everything's the same except how come the structure changes and just practice practice making simple sentences and you'll get the feel for how it works.
So when you make your sentences, once again, just like, why did you call your mom?
For what did you call your mom?
What did you call your mom for?
How come you called your mom?
Make simple sentences like this and practice so that it becomes easy to say.
Okay? Okay, alright, let's check out the dialogue.
Can you buy some carrots at the store?
What for? I'm gonna make carrot cake.
What for? Mom's birthday.
Ohh, carrot cake. You know, when I was young, if you told me carrot cake, I would not be excited.
I hated carrots when I was a kid.
How can you take a carrot and make a cake?
It sounds horrible, it sounds disgusting.
Maybe only a bunny, a rabbit, or a horse, would like a carrot cake.
But the truth is, nothin' beats an excellent carrot cake.
Oh, they can be so delicious!
And yes, they have real carrots in them.
Okay, but this story is not about carrot cakes, it's about what for?
Can you buy some carrots at the store?
Why? What for? How come?
For what? I'm gonna make a carrot cake.
Huh for what? What for?
How come? Why? Mom's birthday Isn't English easy if your sentences really short if your sentences.
Why? I Want you to also practice.
What for, for what, how come?
It means the same thing got it.
That's today's expression once again to my patrons Thank you so much all of you we have over 200 now, so I'm thinking I Should make a special.
Thank you reading everybody's name, but at like really high speed But that might sound rude and like a joke joke.
I decided not to do that because it's not a joke and I do not want to be rude.
I sincerely thank all of you for sponsoring me.
Thank you so much. Thank you for your continued sponsorship generosity and I promise to continue the lessons that I'm creating and in the future, more and more and more.
