Usage Lesson 2

Hey, guys, it's Miss Horn.

And this is our lesson for usage list, too.

Go ahead and get started.

Okay, So our first word is a lot A l

o T.

Please, Please, please do not use this.

This is not an actual word.

It is never going to be correct.

Do not use it.

Lot is not a single word.

A lot is two words I'm talking about very many.

Very much are very often, but I'm going to use

two words a space.

L O t Well watched a lot of TV when

he was sick with a flu.

He watched very much.

T v Prezi plans to eat a lot of Taco

Bell food after school.

She's planning to eat, um, much, much Taco Bell food

after school, very much.

And there is another word.

A lot.

A l l o t.

This is when you are giving somebody kind of their

share of something.

So there's some large amount of something and you're giving

each person person their portion of it.

You are giving your allotting them.

You can a lot of time.

You can a lot money.

Um, you get a lot of space.

Um you're giving everybody their portion.

Let's look at the examples.

The judges will a lot equal time to each contestant.

Each contestant is going to be assigned a specific equal

portion of time.

The newspaper will a lot of full page to each

candidate. So they're going to give each candidate the same

amount of space.

So each one gets their portion.

Okay, moving on everyone.

We use everyone.

One word.

It means every person.

So if I say everyone saw me trip in the

cafeteria, that means every single person saw me trip in

the cafeteria.

Cassie knows everyone who's going to prom.

That means that every single person who walks in the

door for problem Kathy will know them.

Yeah. Everyone.

Two words refers to each individual member.

Um, it does not have to be people.

It could be, um, everyone of some sort of object

as well.

Okay, So Tate spent half an hour.

Sorry. Tate spent a half hour picking up every one

of the puzzle pieces he knocked from the table.

So each individual puzzle piece he picked up the teacher

wished every one of her students good luck before the

test. So the teacher wished everyone individually of her students.

Good luck before the test.

Um, I could also say the teacher wished everyone good

luck on the test, meaning every single person.

But when I say every one of her students, that

implies that it happened.

I'm not just the teachers not wishing everyone like one

big group.

She's wishing each person individually, and that's really the difference

between the two.

Everyone is referring to the everyone in the group as

a unit, one big unit and everyone two words is

referring to each and every single individual.

Okay, already already one word means before or by now.

So when I say we already decided we would vote

for Abbey for president means we decided in the past,

we decided before this moment Sophia already told me that

story yesterday she told me this before In the past,

when I say already two words a little space, aria

dy and meaning completely prepared.

So are the students already to take their essential, so

they completely prepared to take their cell walls.

And that's happening right now.

I'm completely prepared at this moment, so I'm gonna say

I'm already impact for my big trip next week.

That means that I'm completely prepared and packed for my

big trip.

So when in doubt, if you're unsure which one to

use, I would see if you can replace it with

the phrase completely prepared.

Um, otherwise, it's going to be the single word version.

Okay, we'll talk about all together all together.

One word means completely or totally.

So this is an adverb.

So it's going to be used to describe the modify

verbs, or it's gonna be used to modify pronouns.

Um, sorry, burbs or or adjectives?

There we go.

So I say, I'm not altogether certain whether it has

to go to work together.

I'm not completely or totally certain.

Um, it's just a way to kind of spice up

or add variety to your sentence, as opposed to saying

totally, you're completely over and over again.

Justin has altogether too much time to play video games.

That means he has way, way, way too much time.

Completely, too much time, totally, too much time.

Yeah, when I say altogether, two words means that I'm

discussing something as a group, right?

So Joanna's family was all together for the holidays.

Every single person was in a group together, Jimmy Jonathan

had to get his financial records all together.

To file his taxes on time means he had to

take his paperwork from all the different years and put

it in one place in one big group.

Okay, into Into as a proposition means within or inside.

It can also be used to talk about transformation.

So serenity put all her energy into doing the best

she could at work each day.

So she put her energy inside this wish.

So this is kind of a metaphorical inside, Um, I

need to put a quarter into the donation box.

This is a physical thing, so she's literally putting it

inside the donation box the caterpillar turned into a butterfly's

the Caterpillar is transforming into a butterfly.

That's the correct use of into in 22 words.

Um, again, it's not.

It's not a specific word.

It's not a specific phrase.

These two words can be, um, found quite often by

each other.

Um, so here we've got an example.

Sharon will be dropping in to say hello later.

So Sharon's dropping in, and then she's She's dropping in

with the purpose of saying hello later so to say

hello later.

It just happens that in into or right next to

each other.

Um, this second sentence is a pretty important one for

us to get straightened her head.

I turned into the driveway.

So the key thing is I'm turning in.

And then in the direction to the driveway, I'm not

saying I'm turning into the driveway.

One word, which would mean I'm going inside the driveway.

Alright, you can go.

You can go on it, but you can't go in

the driveway.

Um, and I'm not turning into the driveway, meaning I'm

not transforming into a driveway.

I'm staying human being, um and so it has to

be two words turning in.

I'm turning in the direction and then two of the

driveway, which is where the the the car is headed,

turning into the driveway every day.

So when you use every day one word, it means

ordinary or typical, like not not something that special, something

you can find just in any situation.

So look at the examples.

Just wear everyday clothes.

It's not a special occasion.

Everyday ordinary clothes, jeans, T shirt, everyday clothes.

I'm just your average everyday sort of person.

I'm nothing special.

I'm an ordinary, typical person every day.

One word when you say every day, two words What

you're saying is each day each day individually, people across

the country go to work every day each day.

Please make sure you wear pants every day each day.

If I say please make sure you wear pants every

day. One word I'm saying, Please make sure you wear

pants ordinary, which doesn't make any sense.

Okay, so you really want to make sure that you're

only using everyday one word when you're saying something is

just typical, not special.

And everyday.

Two words when you're trying to talk about time every

single day.

So that's it, guys, That's list, too.

Good luck.

Study hard and good luck on that test.
