Hey, the teacher told us to open the book on page 10.
Really?
Did she say that?
Yes, she did.
Oh, the teacher needs some English lessons.
We don't say, open your books on page 10.
We say open your books to page 10 to.
We use to because it shows movement or direction.
Open to means go from closed book to open book, opening at the specified page.
If you go from one page to another we say turn to flip to or go to.
As I was saying, open your books to page 10.
Oh, I heard it wrong sorry, can i have paper?
Yes, that's not a problem.
Huh, where is it?
I need a paper to take notes.
Oh, i thought you were asking if you're allowed to use paper during the class.
If you say, can i have paper without the article a, it sounds like you're asking if you're allowed to have it like asking for permission.
So I should say, can I have a paper?
Do you want this?
No, I need a white paper to take notes.
I'm starting to get stressed. then you should say a piece of paper.
Hi guys, welcome to my YouTube channel.
In this video you'll learn English from common mistakes made at school.
While I explore the Gamma app.
These mistakes also apply to other contexts, so make sure you watch this video until the end to avoid them.
If you say a paper, you're usually talking about an academic paper like research, an essay or something like that.
When you say paper without an article before it, you're referring to the material itself, like the substance you write or print on.
For example, the printer needs some paper or I need some paper to wrap this gift.
Wow, how did you make that?
Make.
Make the presentation I found out about Gamma the perfect tool for creating presentations websites, social media and more.
And it's completely free.
I was talking about the movement with your hair.
How did you make that?
Oh, how did I do that?
Do, yeah.
Use do in this case because do focuses on actions, skills, or tricks.
It's used for movements solutions or surprising results, such as do your makeup, do your homework and etc.
Make is used when talking about products, food, art, and even videos.
For example, make food, make a video, make a website, make a presentation, and etc.
You can also make a mess, make a decision, make fun of something, make someone angry, etc.
And I flip my hair naturally.
I don't even pay attention to what I'm doing.
Nice!
You created that really quickly.
How?
Gamma has this incredible AI feature.
You just tell it what you want.
For example, type a short sentence, paste some text or upload a file like a PowerPoint, PDF or even a website link.
Then Gamma creates a presentation for you, usually with eight cards, like slides, that show your main ideas.
You can edit these cards, add more, or change the design later.
It saves time and makes your slides look clean and professional.
It's really fast.
The website is also fast and it helps us save time.
Really, you can both tell the AI to create for you or to create, for example, from the notes I have.
Not both, you should say either in this case since you used the conjunction or.
And yes, you can either tell the AI to create the slides for you or you can create them from the notes you have.
Remember to use either when comparing two things and it always comes with or.
For example, I prefer to either be fully relaxed or be very productive, nothing in between.
Or you can either stay home or go out.
Either plus or.
Okay, just a sec.
Teacher, can I go to the bathroom?
Yes, you can, but you may not.
Now it's time to pay attention to the homework.
What did I say wrong?
And please explain. playing with slides because I want to learn how to create them.
In this case, I don't have any notes here, so I can't paste in text or import a file or URL.
So I will click generate.
Now you have to select the type of content you'd like to create.
It can be a presentation, a website, a document, or a social media post.
Okay, what's next?
Next I will choose presentation and type in the topic we're interested in, calling a teacher by teacher and using can when asking can I go to the bathroom?
What's right and what's wrong, you can select how many cards you want, the style and the language.
Then click generate outline.
Wait wait wait, wait.
What's An outline?
Is a general plan or a summary of the main points of something?
Look, it gives you an outline of the presentation's topic.
Then I can add extra cards or I can proceed to generate the slides.
Ta-da!
Created.
Wow, this looks very professional.
Yes, they're really polished. polished?
Yeah, polished means clean, professional and well finished.
Oh, okay.
Well, calling a teacher teacher has to do with cultural context.
Teacher often functions as a respectful title across many cultures, conveying steam for the educator's role.
But in English-speaking countries, it's better to use Ms or Mr when referring to the teacher.
So I should say...
Miss Gogola?
Exactly, and she played with the word can because can primarily expresses ability, but it's widely accepted and commonly used by native English speakers to request permission in informal or semi-formal settings.
While technically can is less formal than may, it isn't usually perceived as impolite.
However, it seems that our teacher feels that she should be addressed formally, so she expects you to use me.
Nice, you added videos to the slides.
Yes, i can add images videos, social media links, gifs and qr codes.
I can search for a specific image on the web.
I can add icons and more.
I can even add a button for people that leads people to the page of my English course.
Look.
Oh, I can...
Please, inside voices.
Inside voices?
This is an expression often used by teachers or parents to remind children not to shout or talk loudly, especially when they're in a place where loud noise is not appropriate.
Oh, okay, okay, okay.
What's that button?
If you click this button, you can create diagrams like this one.
This is my favorite diagram.
It's called ribbon arrows.
Ribbon because this is a ribbon.
I can also change the colors to monochrome, which means only one color or different shades of the same color.
I think there's a mosquito here.
A mosquito or fly, maybe.
We can hear the sound it makes.
It's probably a mosquito.
Mosquitoes are flying insects that bite humans and animals to suck their blood.
Flies are small insects with wings that fly quickly and frequently land on food, trash and surfaces.
Oh, okay.
Yes, and you can use the AI to help your writing sound more engaging or to make the text more concise, which means shorter, without losing meaning.
Cool.
And you can also translate the content into other languages.
That's important.
You can also add a button with a website link to encourage clicks.
For example, it could say, join my course and take people directly to the signup page.
Okay, you convinced me.
What's the website called?
It's Gamma App, the tool that helps your presentations, websites, and documents stand out.
You'll find the link in the description.
Plus, I've prepared a special resource with all the grammar points from this lesson.
You can download it for free.
