hello today we're going to review and but and so and then we're going to learn some transition words let's start with some new vocabulary a carpenter a carpenter a carpenter is someone whose job is making and repairing wooden objects such as desks beds and chairs and electrician and electrician and electrician is someone whose job is to deal with or repair electrical equipment a plumber a plumber plumber is someone whose job is to install or fix sinks baths and water pipes a faucet a faucet a faucet is the thing that you turn on or turn off to control the flow of water from a pipe a leaky faucet a leaky faucet well a leaky faucet is a faucet which has a fault or a problem so that water passes through it a drain a drain a drain is a pipe that carries water or waste liquids away and outlet and outlet an outlet is a power point for electricity in the house a board a board a board is a flat wide piece of wood so over here a saw horse a sawhorse a sawhorse is a wooden frame used to support boards a hammer a hammer a hammer is a tool with a heavy metal part on the long handle and it's used for hitting nails into wood and what's a nail nail a nail is a thin pointed piece of metal which you force into a piece of wood with a hammer to fasten the wood to something else a sore ass or a saw or is a tool with a row of v-shaped pieces used for cutting wood a screwdriver a screwdriver screwdriver is a tool with a narrow blade at one end that you use for turning screws and what to screw a screw is a thin pointed piece of metal that you push and turn to fasten pieces of wood or metal together pliers pliers well this is a tool a small tool made of two crossed pieces of metal used to hold small things or to bend and cut wire and finally a tape measure a tape measure a tape measure is a long narrow band of cloth or steel marked with inches and feet or centimeters it's used for measuring something well let's repeat these again a carpenter and electrician a plumber a faucet a leaky faucet a drain and outlet and a board over here we have a sawhorse a hammer and a nail a saw a screwdriver and a screw pliers and finally a tape measure and let's begin our lesson with the review of and have a look at these sentences please the electrician had a pair of pliers and a screwdriver in his tool belt the sink had a leaky faucet a leaky drain and a leaky basin the screws and nails were in the toolbox the plumber and the carpenter were working at the Grant's residence and is used to connect to or more nouns in sentences one-and two-and is used to connect to objects and the sentences three-and four-and is used to connect to subjects and is also used to connect two clauses as in these examples here the electrician was working late and he was hungry it was raining hard and the carpenters weren't able to work well in these two sentences and is used to connect two independent clauses both clauses have a subject and a verb and could be sentences on their own now usually a comma precedes the conjunction let's practice Roza would you like to be a plumber no plumbers are always dirty and smelly very good and Monica would you like to be an electrician it might be fun I can do some dangerous things and I can make good money okay very good Louis would you like to be a carpenter my grandfather was a carpenter he was always happy and he always whistled while he worked I think I would like to be a Karpin very good now it's time for you to look and listen look and listen the nails were old and rusty the sawhorses and the sores were stolen from the worksite Caleb loves to use a saw and he loves to work with wood the plumber unclogged the drain and he didn't charge mrs. Frank anything read and repeat but now let's do a quick review of but have a look the nails were old but the screws were new the weather was hot but the plumber was cool in the air-conditioned house Gregg is a hard-working carpenter but dave is a lazy one this hammer is broken but that one is ok but gives the idea that this is the opposite of that a comma usually comes before but and often the verb phrase following but can be shortened as in these examples the carpenter likes to work on Sundays but the plumber doesn't like to work on Sundays we can shorten the second phrase into the carpenter likes to work on Sundays but the plumber doesn't now we can use but with still and anyway as in these examples it was early but the electrician worked anyway I was tired but I still carried the sawhorses let's practice let's use but in our sentences why is being a plumber a good job Luis they make a lot of money but all this working that's true and why is an electricians job good Monica they had to work in than just places sometimes but it's a very interesting job good and what about carpenters Rosa the workers worries too low but it's very rewarding when they finish you're right thank you and now you can look but you can also listen look and listen the carpenter was happy but he was also very tired Mary is an honest plumber but her secretary is dishonest an electric screwdriver is costly but time-saving the saw horses were old but they were needed read and repeat so let's quickly review so take a look at these sentences the electrician was ill so he went home the screws were rusty so edy threw them away so can be used to connect two independent clauses and so means therefore or as a result let's practice look at the picture Lois why is the carpenter happy he just finished making the bear so he said okay great Monica why is the plumber frustrated he keeps dropping his pliers so he's frustrated you're right and Rosa why is the electrician angry he got the shock so he is angry very good thank you everyone now you need to practice so you can look and listen look and listen the saw horses were old so we left them at the building site the plumber was working on the sink so the children were sent to the babysitter the carpenter cut his finger so he had to go to the hospital we were out of nails so he sent Jeff to the hardware store read and repeat you transition words and now we're going to learn some new connectors or transition words let's start with connectors of contrast concession connectors of contrast concession here are some examples although Paul is a good carpenter he is always losing his tools Paul is a good carpenter however he's always losing his tools Paul was a good carpenter however he's always losing his tools Paul was a good carpenter nevertheless he is always losing his tools although however and nevertheless are connectors of contrast they have the same meaning as but which we had already studied and reviewed although can begin a sentence or come in the middle when it begins a sentence a comma is used after the clause however and nevertheless usually begin a second sentence they are followed by a comma both clauses can be in the same sentence as in sentence number three of the examples when this happens the first Clause ends with a semicolon so we have Paul is a good carpenter SEMICON however comma etc when we have however in the same sentence in must be a semicolon however comma okay let's practice Louis do you think Monica would be a good electrician no I don't think so she's a good person however I think she's afraid of heights electricians must go to somewhere high places very good Rosa do you think Lewis would make a good carpenter I'm not sure although he is good with his hands I don't know if he has the patient to be a carpenter thanks a lot good and Monica do you think Rosa would make a good plumber I don't please so she's a great girl however I don't think she likes to be dirty you're probably right okay that was good thank you very much everyone however now it's time to look and listen look and listen although the disk was finished the carpenter wasn't satisfied the electrical problem was on the fifth floor however the usually nervous electrician wasn't worried the nails were very rusty however the Carpenters still used them although the saw had a used blade Larry still brought it to the job read and repeat you and now let's look at connectors of reason and result connectors of reason result here are some example sentences for you many carpenters have become more efficient since electric screwdrivers were invented many electrical tools were invented therefore carpenters became more efficient many electrical tools were invented as a result carpenters became more efficient a sense is a connector of reason and it has the same meaning as because since same meaning as because it may be placed at the beginning or the end of a sentence and when it begins a sentence a comma is usually placed after the first clause now therefore and as a result therefore and as a result are connectors of result connectors of result connectors of result result means that if one things happens another thing will follow another thing will happen after that they normally begin a sentence and if followed by a comma so for example when it rains or if it rains you'll get wet that's a result rain and then wet wet is the result of rain let's practice Roza do you think you would be a good plumber since I am NOT good with tools I don't think so I'm always dropping things I know and Louis do you think you would be a good carpenter I'm not impatient and I'm good with my hands therefore would be a wonderful carpenter I'm not sure about that Monica do you think you'd make a good electrician I have getting shocks and as a result I think I will be a very timid electrician great thank you all and now since you are still learning it's a good idea to look and listen look and listen since the electrician forgot his tools he went home I hate getting slivers therefore I wouldn't make a good carpenter there was a big fire at the work place as a result the plumbers couldn't connect the pipes the plumber broke his right hand as a result he could only work with his left hand read and repeat and now let's look at a connector of purpose connector of purpose here are some examples we've many plumbers we're a tool belt so that they don't have to go to their truck all the time we brought two hammers so that we could both work at the same time so that which we quickly studied in lesson 14 is a connector with used with a purpose of an action it's like it answers the question why did or why do you do something in the second sentence why did we bring two hammers we brought two hammers so that we could both work at the same time it's usually placed in the middle of a sentence and often it's used with can or could so that and can or could often with can or could no comma is necessary with this connector and let's practice this one okay Monica did you use to watch carpenters when you were young yes I did I watched them so that I could I could help my father while he was or when he was working around the house very good and Luis do you watch plumbers now not usually my brother likes to watch them so that he can fix the leaky forces in our house great and Rosa do you like to watch electricians no my father likes to watch them so that he can make sure they are doing a good job they are building a new kitchen at my parents house very good now you can look and listen so that you can practice look and listen the plumbers left early so that they could beat the traffic to the work site many bought a new saw so that he could cut the boards easily the screws were put in the truck so that they could be brought to the worksite the electrician left late so that he could meet his boss for a drink read and repeat and now let's look at connectors of sequence connectors of sequence please have a look John bought some nails afterwards he rented a circular saw Tim finished the desk after that he started to work on the sofa sue installed the sink then she connected the pipes Fred rented a ladder next he bought some nails and screws afterwards afterwards after then and next are all connectors of sequins we use them when one event follows another they usually begin the second sentence and a comma is used after the connector let's practice this should be easy for you because we've already studied adverbs of sequence Rosa do you help your father when he does carpentry work a little bit I watch him until he is finished after that I help him clean up great Monica do you help your father when he does electrical work he doesn't do it there are traditions to it and he watches them then he gets angry when they do a bad job I'm sorry Louis do you watch your father do plumbing work i watching afterwards I tell him what he did wrong you're always a funny man Louis okay thank you first reviewed and then we studied connectors and now we're going to look and listen look and listen the man went to the building site then he spoke with the carpenters Bob built a new chair afterwards he left his mess for his wife to clean Kevin bought some new boards next he bought some nails the electrician finished installing the outlet then he plugged the lamp in read and repeat you right well now let's look at connectors for events happening at the same time connectors events happening at the same time here are some examples for you the carpenter was relaxing meanwhile the plumber was working hard betty was cleaning the house at the same time her husband was fixing the clogged drain meanwhile and at the same time at the same time are connectors which have the same meaning as while two things happening together at the same time they are followed by a comma meanwhile comma at the same time comma let's practice Louis what does a carpenters help her do while a carpenter is working the carpenter may be building a chair meanwhile the Carpenters helper may be handing in nails very good Louis Rosa what does an electricians helper do while the electrician is working the electrician might be putting in an outlet at the same time the help there might be cutting the wire excellent Monica what does a plumbers helper do while the plumber is working the summer may be working in the shower meanwhile his harem might be cleaning pipes great thank you very much everyone and now you will be looking meanwhile you will be listening look and listen Rita was painting the boards meanwhile her husband was sharpening his saw one carpenter was working on the roof at the same time the other one was working in the basement hank was using a hammer meanwhile Joe was using a screwdriver Lyle was cutting boards at the same time the electrician was cutting wire read and repeat you and now let's look at one more type of transition words transition words these are transition words which give examples examples here are some sentences for you to look at Joe is a good carpenter for example his furniture always lasts a long time tom is a bad carpenter for example his furniture always falls apart for example and for instance I used to support the first sentence they give us more information about the first sentence in the first example sentence here we said Joe we settled his name we said Joe is a good carpenter the second sentence tells us how he has a good carpenter his furniture always lasts a long time and they are used to begin the second sentence and they always are followed with a comma let's practice these now do you know any rich carpenter this Monica I have friend called Olaf his average carpenter and for example he has little men working for him wow he must be rich and Luis do you know any rich electricians the only electrician I know is poor for instance your isobars come to work I must be poor or maybe he just likes keeping fit and Rosa do you know any rich plumbers yeah my father's friend Pedro is a rich plumber for example he buys new tools every year good for him I'm glad that someone is rich thank you very much everyone now it's time to practice for example you can look and listen look and listen Lee is an angry electrician for example he's always throwing his tools Mary is an apprentice electrician for instance she can't install an outlet we can't use these nails for example they are all rusty we won't repair this house for example it's a fire trap read and repeat review now it's time for some exercises let's do a quick exercise using and I want each of you to give me a sentence about plumbers using and okay Rosa what's your sentence plumbers are intelligent and they make out of money great Louis plumber's always use pliers and screwdrivers good and Monica summits are usually dirty and their hands are no clean good job and now let's do an exercise using but can you please finish these sentences with an appropriate Clause using but Monica you can go first the carpenter was angry the carpenter was angry but his helper didn't know it good the carpenter was angry but his helper didn't know it who's next Rosa can you please do this one the plumber remembered his toolbox the plumber remembered his toolbox but he had forgotten to put his tools in it very good the plumber remembered his toolbox but he had forgotten to put his tools in it and Luis this one's for you Jenny was very happy when her desk was finished jenny was very happy when her desk was finished but she wasn't happy when she solved the bill I'm sure she wasn't I'm sure too jenny was very happy when her desk was finished but she wasn't happy when she saw the bill thank you all now let's do one more exercise covering our review please fill in the blanks with and but or so Rosa go first please the electricians were excited something eager to start the new job that's easy the electricians were excited and eager to start the new job good the electricians were excited and eager to start the new job okay Luis one for you Jacob was anxious to finish the carpentry job something he began to work quickly Jacob was anxious to finish the carpentry job so he began to work quickly super Jacob was anxious to finish the carpentry job so he began to work quickly and Monika the last one's for you the carpenters wanted to work on the roof so or and or but it was snowing the carpenters wanted to work on the roof but it was snowing good job the carpenters wanted to work on the roof but it was snowing good job thank you very much everyone and now let's do an exercise using connectors of contrast I want each of you to give me a sentence about a very angry plumber using a connector of contrast okay Luis you can go first although the plumber was furious he still continued to work ok good sentence and Rosa the plumber wasn't very happy however no one realized this fine good and Monica the plumber was angry nevertheless he content to work good great job and now let's do an exercise using connectors of purpose this time I want you to fill in the blanks and the sentences with an appropriate connector we're going to use therefore as a result or so that Monica you can go first the electrician's left early they could go to their boss's birthday party the electrician's left early so that they could go to their boss's birthday party good the electrician's left early so that they could go to their boss's birthday party Luis can you do this one Mike will forgot his tools
