and you're going to learn a lot of vocabulary,

2
At 00:00:08,230, Character said: grammar and even pronunciation naturally by
reading this article with me. This is an article

3
At 00:00:15,370, Character said: in the very popular online magazine Time Out
New York and this article is about one of

4
At 00:00:22,010, Character said: the most iconic buildings in New York and
in the world. The Statue of Liberty. Welcome

5
At 00:00:29,810, Character said: back to JForrest English training, of course
I'm Jennifer and this is your place to become

6
At 00:00:35,040, Character said: a fluent confident English speaker. Let's
get started. To read this article, we need

7
At 00:00:44,260, Character said: to go onto my computer. So let's go on to
my computer now and start the lesson. Welcome

8
At 00:00:50,031, Character said: to my computer. As you can see our famous
landmark, the Statue of Liberty. So let's

9
At 00:00:56,420, Character said: begin our article. The title is "You can finally
climb on top of the crown of the Statue of

10
At 00:01:04,479, Character said: Liberty again". Now just in case you don't
know what the crown is, here's our Statue

11
At 00:01:12,590, Character said: of Liberty. So the crown is this top part
right here. And of course it looks like what

12
At 00:01:20,289, Character said: a king, queen, any royalty, what they wear
on their head and that is the crown. So you

13
At 00:01:28,439, Character said: could climb, climb up to the crown. That would
be pretty cool, wouldn't it? Why was the Statue

14
At 00:01:36,340, Character said: of Liberty crown closed until now? Let's find
out. Following a two and a half year closure

15
At 00:01:44,979, Character said: caused by the COVID 19 pandemic, the Crown
portion of the Statue of Liberty has officially

16
At 00:01:52,310, Character said: reopened to the public this week. So let's
look right here, two and a half year. Now

17
At 00:02:01,649, Character said: two and a half, a half is of course point
five right, so two and a half. That is 2.5.

18
At 00:02:10,690, Character said: But why does it say year? And why doesn't
it say years? That's because right here, two

19
At 00:02:21,291, Character said: and a half, this is an adjective two and a
half year. This whole thing is describing

20
At 00:02:29,500, Character said: what type of closure it was, okay? And that's
why year does not have a plural, because adjectives

21
At 00:02:39,879, Character said: don't have singular and plurals. This will
make more sense if you look at it like, I

22
At 00:02:48,420, Character said: took a 30 day vacation. Okay, so notice here,
I took a vacation. This is grammatically correct.

23
At 00:02:59,180, Character said: What type of vacation, a short vacation a
long vacation a relaxing vacation. All of

24
At 00:03:04,980, Character said: those are adjectives but I can also use a
time period as an adjective. I took a 30 day

25
At 00:03:12,860, Character said: vacation a 30 month vacation a 30 minute vacation
compared to I took a vacation or 30 days.

26
At 00:03:24,470, Character said: Now here is our noun 30 days, which means
to be singular or plural. If it were one day

27
At 00:03:35,280, Character said: obviously singular. 30 more than one so days.
That is why you don't have an S here. I hear

28
At 00:03:43,870, Character said: this mistake a lot from students. What else?
Oh, let's look at this re opened when you

29
At 00:03:51,459, Character said: add re in front of a verb it means to do it
again. Okay, so I could say I re watched the

30
At 00:04:06,910, Character said: movie. I can't think of a movie name. I really
watched the movie. So this means I watched

31
At 00:04:16,079, Character said: the movie again. I watched the movie again.
So this is my verb. Watch is just in the past

32
At 00:04:26,900, Character said: simple and I'm adding rate. You can add a
dash there or you don't have to. It's optional.

33
At 00:04:33,750, Character said: In terms of spelling. I see it more commonly
without the dash but as you can see here in

34
At 00:04:39,850, Character said: the article, they do have a dash, but your
boss might say, hey, Julio, can you redo the

35
At 00:04:48,240, Character said: report? Can you redo the report? He's asking
you how to do it again. Can you redo the report?

36
At 00:04:58,050, Character said: So that's a very useful word to put in front
of a verb notice the pronunciation re re redo

37
At 00:05:06,330, Character said: rewatch reopen, remake. If you've been trying
to visit the destination since March of 2020,

38
At 00:05:16,490, Character said: though, you might have to wait a tad bit longer.
Tickets to access the crowd are basically

39
At 00:05:22,550, Character said: sold out through October. Make sure to reserve
your past for a future date. Right here. So

40
At 00:05:29,110, Character said: you can reserve your past if you'd like. Okay,
notice here What verb tense is this? The present

41
At 00:05:36,080, Character said: perfect continuous have or has depending on
the subject you have is just a contraction.

42
At 00:05:45,410, Character said: B E. So this is you have you have equals you
as a contraction, then we have been and then

43
At 00:05:57,080, Character said: we have our verb in ING so that's the present
perfect continuous and we use this for an

44
At 00:06:02,830, Character said: action that started in the past, but continues
until now and we want to stress the continuation

45
At 00:06:11,210, Character said: of the action. That's the i n g. I've been
trying to book my ticket since March since

46
At 00:06:21,850, Character said: 2020 cents this morning. Now you could also
say for two hours for two years for five days.

47
At 00:06:40,530, Character said: So when we have a period of time we use for
and then we use sent with a specific date.

48
At 00:06:47,379, Character said: I like this one a tad bit a tad bit. This
is a very natural vocabulary choice and it

49
At 00:06:56,440, Character said: means a little bit a little bit a tad. So
you might say I was a tad late today, through

50
At 00:07:07,490, Character said: here. I was late today. How late were you?
Just a little right so you could say I was

51
At 00:07:15,690, Character said: a little that's very common. You probably
know it. Here's a new fun natural expression

52
At 00:07:21,319, Character said: that's very common. I was a tad late today.
You need this article. Ah, you might say I'm

53
At 00:07:29,720, Character said: a tad tired today. So this is saying I'm a
little tired or she's tired. hungry right

54
At 00:07:40,130, Character said: now. Right now she's a tad a little tad. Tad

in 1886. Okay, so here we have reopening again,

in the chat and I will try to answer them

61

is a very professional formal business vocabulary.

63

wondering what this alas means. This is an

At 00:09:45,089, Character said: adverb. It's a little bit outdated. To be
honest. I don't think you'll hear it that

70
At 00:09:50,780, Character said: often. But it is interesting. You might hear
it in movies more so it's an advert to express
