Read along to practice your English and to learn the English phrase SUCH AS and SUCH AIn this English lesson I wanted to help you learn the English phrase, 'such as', but before I do that, I actually want to read a comment from a previous video from my other channel from Mélodie. Mélodie says, hello teacher, can you make a video about how we have to use 'such as'? Please have a nice day. And my response was, I'll do this for next week's short English lesson. So thanks Melody for that request.And I will now talk about the phrase 'such as'. This simply means for example. When we mention something, and then we give examples of it, we might say such as. Here's a great example. Jen and I grow flowers, such as sunflowers, dahlias, lisianthus. So when I mentioned that we grow flowers, I then use the word 'such as' to describe some of the specific flowers that we grow. I could say this, my kids really, really like fast foods, such as McDonald's, Harvey's, and A&W. So it's just a way to give examples about something you just started talking about.If you enjoy these lessons please consider supporting me at: http://www.patreon.com/bobthecanadianThe other phrase I wanted to teach you today is the phrase 'such a', and this might seem like a bit of a strange one. It's used to emphasize something. It's such a nice day out here today. I had such a nice time at the party. I went to a concert the other night and it was such a good time. It was such a great concert. So 'such a' is just a really weird little phrase we use to emphasize things. It is such a nice day out here today. It's not sunny, it's not raining. It's relatively cool. It's such a nice day.Anyways, to review, when you use such as, it's when you're going to give examples. I like to exercise. I do exercises such as lifting weights and walking. Those are the exercises I do. And when you use 'such a', it's to emphasize something. I have such a good day if I exercise in the morning.But hey, let's look at a comment from a different previous video. This comment is from Ruslan. Thank you for the cool lesson teacher, Bob. The river is quite wide. It must be great to have a paddle board or a jet ski, and have fun out there. And my response, it certainly is quite busy on the weekends with all kinds of watercraft, such as boats and canoes, and jet skis, and paddle boards, and all that kind of stuff. By the way, that was a comment from the video where I was out by the really big river in a town that's close to me.By the way, I did a lesson in that town a long time ago. The 'Let's Learn English Downtown' video. It was filmed in that town as well.But yes, that river is very, very busy, especially on the weekends. There was a boat ramp or a boat launch in the park where I was at, I should have showed that too. Maybe I'll go back and do a video there in the future, but it's definitely a busy place on the weekend. Lots of motorboats. If you go early in the morning, people will be there with their fishing boats. So people like to fish really, really early in the morning. Support the show
