War & Military Vocabulary: Understand the news

Hi Adam! important lesson. Thanks!

bluegray83

I’m sure it is Bluegray. But to tell the truth I have to go over this lesson and put some of these words into practice; otherwise they won’t become part -at least- of my passive vocabulary.

All the best with your English.

Regino

nice explanation, as usual

there’s a little typo: conflict without “l”

thank you for your understandable accent…

marvilla

i’m italian like you, read my profofile. i’ll be glad if you’ll contact me.

kami88

thanx

Abshaque

you have nice Tattoo under your left Arm

basem3090

Thank you Basem. It says littera scripta manet– the written word remains :)

Adam

And what does it mean?

happyhop

The written word remains means that once written down, it can stay forever. A spoken word, on the other hand, disappears as soon as it has left your mouth ;)

Adam

Yep, prime in manu tua, right? :)

Exotist

verba volant , scripta manent , in Latin .

rc57

verba volant scripta manent….senza la virgola…conosco bene il latino..secondo te che in quale lingua “littera scripta manet” è scritto?

al willis

Hi Adam, I think you miss letter “l” in (conflict) you wrote confict not conflict. What do you think?

Hassan Kamal

I did Hassan. My mistake. Good eye :)

Adam

Hi Adam.
I’m Bahram Fattahi from Iran.i’ve been watching ENGVID vids for more than 2 years.it helped me a lot.
i wanted to aske you if you could make a lesson about districts and regions and cover the following words: territory, perfecture, borough, county, province, zone, state
i’m sure It’d help a lot of students to have a clearer issue about it
Thank you in advance

bahram1364

Hey Bahram I agree with you.
It would be so great to learn about them ıf adam can make a video in that issue.I am so confused even in my own language :)

oguz

I’ll get on that Bahram :)

sam gt

I’ll see what I can do Sam :)

Adam

Hi dear Adam, this is a great lesson very useful. Thank you so much. by the way please what does that means” I got a chopper in the car”? by Rick Ross’s lyrics. Merry christmas Eve to you dear Adam, may god bless you and your family.

My best wishes to you.

frankyforlife

Hi Franky. Actually, I had to look it up myself as I’d never heard this before. It seems to mean an automatic weapon, especially an AK-47.

Hope that helps ;)

Adam

hey adam, great lesson indeed.Could you please help
me with the right construction of these two sentences:
1.He is 100 times as much powerful as me.
2.He is 100 times as much powerful than me.
which one of these sentences implies the correct sense of the other person being 100 times more powerful than me.This construction of word ‘as’ confuses me a lot, so please, if possible help me getting rid of this confusion about how to use the word ‘as’ to emphasize an amount.Your previous videos have been a great help:) thank u very much.

Harry Singh

Hello Harry,
I’m afraid, both sentences appear to be flawed, to me. I believe in these type of sentences, you only use the word ‘as’. You don’t write ‘as much’. Few examples for you :-
1. earth is twice as big as Mars
2. He is 100 times as powerful as I am. (though I am not sure about this one)
3. His handwriting is 10 times as neat as mine.

You can also write them without using ‘as’.
He is 100 times more powerful than me.

abhishek1995

Hi Abhishek! I am looking for someone to improve my conversation skill, do you mind pass me your contact, so we can talk to each other?

fritzen

Hi Harry. Abhishek gave a very good answer. I will add that He is 100 times more powerful than me is the best option. We use as normally when we use an objective adjective. Powerful, for example is subjective. What powerful means to you and to him might not be the same.
Mars is 10 times as big as Pluto, for example is Ok because we can measure the size of the planets as compare these.

When possible, use the -er or more than construction to compare things. He is three times older than me will create less confusion than he is three times as old as me. (in both cases as I am is correct, but less common in casual speech).

(his handwriting is 10 times neater than mine)

Hope this helps a little.

Adam

I’m from Ukraine and unfortunatelly this is actual for my country where we have war on a part of territory.

zhenya25

I hope things get better there Zhenya

Adam

Hi Adam. I don’t like wars and this topic. But thank you at any rate.
I think many people here can’t understand anything when they watch sports. It’ll be great to understand a football commentary for instance. Thank you.

KATRIN777

I’ll see what I can do Katrin. Keep in mind football here is different than in Europe ;)

Adam

Thank you Adam. I think, at any rate it’s very exciting sport if you like it so much.

KATRIN777

Hi everyone! I agree with Katrin, it would be wonderful to watch a sport video lesson especially about football!
Hope you will see this comment Adam :) I like your lessons! Keep it up!

Alesia

Excellent lesson!
Could you teach us some medical vocabulary and expressions as well?
Thanks.

audrysilva

I’ll get on it Audry :)

Adam

War and its Related words are vital when you Wanna understand what is going your Around.it is hard but sometimes we have to explain what they are. So i happy to hear these words from peaceful person like Adam. Thanks for your useful lesson and God bless all Of us from war.

azizakif

Sanctions against Russia…….

mileshin

Yes, unfortunately you are right mileshin.

camalote

Thank you Adam for this useful lesson!

Ksenia Rybka

8/9 I thought that, the captain was above the colonel. By the way in Portuguese we say Cornel = colonel both sounds similar.

Jorge Pedroso

Hi Jorge,
It’s strange how English works. Should be spelled kernel, but … :)

Adam

Sorry I made a mistake in Portuguese is ” Coronel”.

Jorge Pedroso

Was a good lesson. Mainly for me that are coming in the intermediary level

Hspbrasil

Hi Adam,
Excelent lesson

AndyTandy

great and inclusive as usual, thanks Adam.surly no one likes war, but it seems like it is inevitable to learn about it, please keep up doing good work. I would be grateful if you make more videos about politics

Mustafa Sharafi

I’ll see what I can do Mustafa

Adam

Adam one more question.(sorry)
Are those grammatically correct?
CAN I CHANGE RUBLES INTO POUNDS HERE?
(can I place @HERE@ in any other place of the sentence above?)
CAN I CHANGE RUBLES INTO POUNDS IN THIS PLACE?
Thank you.

KATRIN777

One more:
Can we change our seats with each other?(is it correct?)
Thank you again.

KATRIN777

I know the word @replace@. But, what about which is above?

KATRIN777

in USA it’s more simple = may we switch our seats? (i’ve heard it in regular conversation many times)

dlvbasys

Thank you,it’s from a textbook for kids.

KATRIN777

Can I use exchange?

KATRIN777

Hi Katrin.

CAN I CHANGE RUBLES INTO POUNDS HERE? is correct. You can’t put the Here anywhere else.

You can say can we exchange seats?
Or can we switch seats? as Dlvbasys mentioned.
Or, Can we change seats with each other (no our needed)

Adam

Here is coming up one more question – why we shouldn’t use OUR. Thank you Adam.

KATRIN777

It’s understood. If it’s not mine, then I can’t switch it anyway.

Adam

vovchick

Indeed Vovchick

Adam

Good lesson, Thanks teacher Adam!!

abby2

Adam I have watched Past Perfect Tense from Rebecca, but didn’t understand one thing: (it’s at 07.20) when Jane arrived home yesterday,her husband had taken the children to the restaurant(are the children at home when she arrives?)
THANK YOU.

KATRIN777

No, their at the restaurant. If you say, by the time Jane arrived home yesterday,her husband had already taken the children to the restaurant., then they might be back from the restaurant when she gets home.

Adam

Thank you Adam.

KATRIN777

Hi again, Adam!
I’d like to tell you about my journey to the sea. It was seven years ago. We went to the sea with my Mum. It was very beautiful and I took a lot of pictures. The weather was very good. We swam for a long time. The sea was so warm that my Mum couldn’t take me out from the water. It was very funny. In the evening(or in the evenings)we went to a water park. I liked it very much. We ate a lot of fruit every day. One day we went to the mountains. There we visited waterfall. It was very interesting. I liked to have a rest like this.
Adam,check it,please. Thank you.

KATRIN777

out of the water
in the evenings
I like to have a rest like this

Adam

1. out of the water(my bad,I knew it)
2. in the evenings(I thought so, but all the web translators wilfully don’t want add the letter S)
3. In one movie one character says I LIKED HIM VERY MUCH(so why I can’t say it about the rest?)
ADAM, THANK YOU AGAIN.

KATRIN777

I think, those are some of my grammar mistakes in my narrative in previous lesson:
1. I woke up at 11.00 and begin(of course BEGAN) to drink tea at once.
2. Presently I turned on my computer and linked the Internet, because I(HAD)wanted to know the price of dollar and the price of oil.
3. At 13.00 I had to be seeing my doctor, because I(HAD)made an appointment.
4. The people,who were in the line,said that there is(WAS instead of is) a live line and I have(HAD instead of have)to be after them.
Am I right or not? I will be waiting.
THANK YOU ADAM!!!

KATRIN777

1) at 11… and had a tea at once
2) linked to the internet because I wanted to know the price of the dollar and of oil
3) I had to see my doctor…i had made…
4) The people who were in line said there was a long line and I had to be…

Not bad :)

Adam

After the 2nd one I don’t understand past perfect again!!! Thank you Adam…

KATRIN777

Because the second sentense is not in past perfect, it’s just in past simple as you dint’t finish to want before you linked to the internet. So all what you did was simultaneously.

Zenny

for example you might have say: Presently I turned on my computer and linked the Internet, because I had just finished my homework.

Zenny

Maybe i am wrong cuz I am russian too)))

Zenny

Adam I wanted to say alive line(when the doctor works really slow(or he takes some people without line)). And people in the line become mad about it and began create their own rules. It’s Russia.

KATRIN777

That might be a Russian expression. We don’t have a live or an alive line. We have a lifeline, but that means something that saves you, or connects you to life.

Adam

Hello!
EngViiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiid! I can’t believe it! What was wrong with my message that you have decided not to approve and post it here? I’m so sorry for this behavior! Please, respect the users!

Anahita

You may have been posting the same comment a lot, which we try to discourage.

engVid Moderator

It might have been a simple mistake Anahita. I’m sure it will be looked into

Adam

nice lesson i really gain

Nurambs

Hi Valena

Please help me. How do i improve my English Conversation. most the time i am confusing between present perfect tense and past perfect tense. Please send me any link for understand this.

subodh chauhan

HI Subodh, I’m not Valen, but I hope I can help. Type present perfect tense and past perfect tense into the search box above and you will see a few lessons on it. You can also type it into Google and see lots of resources that explain it.

Adam

Hi , Adam thanks for that , but id like u to clarify why all the native speaker drop the letter (t) when it preceded by the letter (n) .! Ad if we dont pronounce it this way is it sound unnaturally ?

Nenno1986

Hi Nenno.

We don’t really drop it. It’s just soft, so it gets “lost” in the transition to the next word. Also, the tongue position for ‘n’ and t’ are almost the same, so it’s a bit of laziness to move it.

Does that hep?

Adam

Thanks for the lesson, very actual vocabulary

Scream

Useful lesson. Thanks Adam. I want to ask a lesson on words used in building. I am a civil engineer.

ghassan chahme

I’ll see what I can do Ghassan :)

Adam

Hi Adam, it’s my first time to learn English from your videos. First quiz, i got 100, yeye. Thanks a bunch, Adam.

arismnndar

Welcome Arismnndar :)

Adam

big thanks mr Adam. the lesson was very helpful .

Burulsun

I`ve learned new vocabulary!!thankssss Adam!

gabriellla

Hi adam! It was such as interesting lesson. I admit all of the Engvid lesson chunks can boost one’s english knowledge on a variety of topis you’re providing. But still, many of the upper-interm and advanced learners are facing a few gaps relating to their career, work and professional life. Thereby, I would highky recommend offering lessons that cover handling job interviews questions and answers, showing achievements and motivation sides on a field. I can’t deny finding some videos on the area but there is need for specific situations at work.

omaxios

These lessons are in the works Omaxios :)

Adam

thank you for this good lesson . this vocabulary are very useful .

jafar.h.lunbar

This is a good lesson to increase my general knowledge and vocabulary. Thanks Adam :)

byte

Hi Adam, i have been in this country more than 12 years and i learned something new today. Thank you for the way you are teaching. I am so much grateful to Engvid to introduce this site. I really appreciate.

smartbay3

Adam, in BBC lessons “Look ahead” there is a dialogue of two mice:
– What’s that?
– That’s a cat.
– What’s his name?(would it be right if a question were “What’s its name?”?)
Thank you.

KATRIN777

Although technically, its is more correct, many people treat certain animals, especially pets, as gender specific.

Both are acceptable.

Adam

And one more: sometimes I hear the word “OFTEN” with letter “T” which sounds and sometimes without — Which one is right?
Thank you Adam.

KATRIN777

Both are Ok. Some enunciate the t, others don’t. I, myself, don’t.

Adam

Thank you Adam. I thought it is linked somehow with north and south.

KATRIN777

Thanks a lot Adam

Bechir Mahmoud

Hi. This lesson is very interesting because I meet this words every time and everywhere.

zver1zver2

Simply great!Thanks again, Adam

Sonia1234

What’s this Log out thing? I have already been
accepted by the engvid. What happened?

Sonia1234

Not sure Sonia. I see you here :)

Adam

Ok, then!:) :) :)

About war, Adam, Bono sang with Pavarotti and he
“Ave Maria” and he added this to the song, which I found beautiful:
“…Ave Maria, where is the justice in the world…
“…and WAR is always the choice, of the chosen
who will not have to fight.”

…too beautifull and deep to add any comments.

Sonia1234

What is word, what explain to talk about the volunteers soldiers?

loniks

Hi ioniks.

I think it’s just volunteers or enlisted. If they are forced to join, then they are draftees (they were drafted by the army)

Adam

thanks Adam ,so interesting lesson

batoul12

Thanks a lot for this great lesson. I wish the British English was as understandable as yours is :)

utaudo

This is such helpful lessen, I now enhance my knowledge about this kind of subject. Cheers!! :) Adam.

Amy

Thanks Adam for your this lesson. I have always wanted to learn more about war vocabulary. Your character, accent, and examples make the lesson amazing. thanks a million.

mahmouddahman

It’s for narratives:
He had been working when I came to him.
He had already came when I called to him.
(Are those grammatically correct?)
Thank you Adam.

KATRIN777

He had already come when I called him.

Adam

My bad, I thought past participle is CAME. Sorry and thank you.

KATRIN777

Littera scripta manet?

Agni Pl

Yes, Agni.
The written word remains :)

Adam

Agni Pl

These days everywhere in turmoil, even your neighboring country. I mean US. Racism is still big problem in US. What about your country? I’ve head Native Americans in Canada are suffering by government yet, Aren’t they?
Sorry Adam, I know you mentioned “please don’t talk about political stuff, but I just want to try writing about conflict and war. That’s it!

evil666live

Hi Evil.

Yes, here too. Not too violent, but it does happen occasionally. There are very few conflict-free places in the world, unfortunately.

Adam

This my skype account: moath.941
hopefully if you can contact with me thats gonna be sounds great. Lets ease the learning process.

moath saad

Thank you so much Adam,
I wish all of the Engvid family and the students happy new year which we wouldn’t use these words in our daily lifes.

If you want to talk with me on skype please check my account details…

camalote

useful lessons,great teacher!!!

minizhang

How’s it going?
I’d like to request a video about Basketball, American football and Formula 1. I’m a massive fan of them, but it’s really difficult to understand when the game/race is live on Tv, or even when I’m reading the Sports section on the newspaper, or when people around me are talking about it.
I’d really appreacite it if an Engvid teather could make an explanation about the rules/moves,etc.
Thanks for helping us in everything.

henry19

I’ll see what I can do Henry :)

Adam

i love the army

blakester56

Thank you Adam, It was so informative. It help me so much because I like documentaries about history. Thank you so much.

Xiri

Thank you!

Yakushina

Adam please explain phrasal verbs of the verb CUT. what is the diff btw cut down on and cut back on?

Ranhraa Yousafzai

Hi Ranhraa.

In some cases they can mean the same thing, i.e., to reduce.

Cut down can also mean to cut something so it comes down, like a tree.

In film, you can cut back (edit) to a previous scene or frame.

Hope this helps.

Adam

MERRY CHRISTMAS ADAM AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

KATRIN777

Thank you Katrin. I wish the same to you :)

Adam

Thanks.

KATRIN777

hi Mr Adam actually i want to thank you for your great effort in English lessons i learned from it but i need your help to give me some vocabulary about if i will work as a ticket agent

GMoatmed

HI GM.

Adam

GMoatmed

taffarel

Hi Taffarel.

It’s conflict. My mistake. a little typo :)

Adam

Hi Adam . Very timely vocab. Unfortunately I hear all this words every day. Your lesson is useful for those who watch breaking news.
I’d like to thank you and Engvid teachers for your great job. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! All the best to you, Adam.

NadiaM

Thank you Nadia. To you as well :)

Adam

carolingus

Very good explanation for people they are not so familiar with the military. (y)

You do a great job Adam :)

Jackus

I watched it twice in order to get the full understanding of the video. Their was a lot of good information in this video . Thank you.

Gireesh@Delhi

Thank you for the updated lesson. It is very worthy for me. I have re-posted your lesson to my blog with a few notes, please check it here: http://kidovatov.wordpress.com/2015/01/04/war-military-vocabulary/ Thanks

kido

8/9 Not bad!!

IMO The 4th question sounds a little ambiguous.

“When an enemy attacks, an army will try to ________ it.”

From my perspective i think it is better to be
“When an enemy attacks, the opponent will try to ________ it.”

kido

Hi Kalifatullah,

An opponent can be a whole army. I was just using it in context. Your sentence is equally good.

Adam

We (English learners) are vulnerable because we are here for studying it and not real English speakers. For us, a little mistake can bring an absolute destruction. So, please use detail / clear / not ambiguous statements and questions. Think from our perspectives, not yours. Thank you for your attention.

kido

That’s what we try to do. I don’t see how the original is ambiguous, though.

engVid

Hi Kalifatullah,

Understood. Though, keep in mind that there are thousands of people watching these videos and taking the quiz, so it’s impossible to focus on everyone’s individual needs.

Also, language is by it’s nature ambiguous; you can interpret just about anything in any way you want if you play with the words enough :)

Adam

Thanks

Nadir

Very nice lesson!

isosa

I’m from Ukraine. Now in my country war in Donbass – it’s territory where my home so i must know all this words (unfortunately). Thank you so much!!

Anastasia

I’m very sorry to hear that. :( I’ve been following it in the news a bit, and hopefully things get back to normal soon!

Zenny

Interesting lesson

shivakumar v

You have my attention….thanks a Lot

JORGE ARMANDO

Thanks for lesson, it’s useful and actual unfortunately. Took the quiz with 8/9. So I have a question: why “colonel” is the highest-ranked soldier? What about general\admiral\marshal? Actually they are also soldiers in a deep sense. May be the question should be “Which of the following is the highest-ranked enlisted soldier?” Answer: sergeant, isn’t it?

Max1982

Thank you everyone. Happy New Year :)

Adam

thanks for the discussing this topic..its very informative nowadays!

0926chad

Adam

thnx alote
I hope the war stops on my country

rolan

Dear Adam, I play a game about Tanks. In which I read the terms “hull” and “maneuverability”. Could you please give a light to these words?

prakhar

Hi Prakhar,

Hull is the body of the tank. Maneuverability is its ability (or lack of) to make movements, like turns.

Adam

Thank you Adam for help me as always! Now I understand them clearly.

prakhar

Hi Adam ! My dear friend what is the difference between “at night and in the night” and what is context used in?

Thanks!

the best

Hi The Best,

At night is to refer to a time period (I sleep at night).

In the night is the concept of night, as opposed to day. Ghosts roam in the night to scare little children in their sleep.
It’s also commonly used with something else, in the night sky, the sound of the river in the night, etc.

Does this help?

Adam

Hello teacher. Sorry, do you make a distiction among your students in answering their questions !? I hope your answer is NO and I am wrong…
Best regards:soei

Soei

I dont know how Should I Thank You For this Lesson It’s to interesting to stop watching.

Felicity-pl

I an new student in your class i Want to improuve my English

FATIHA2000

Now it is much easier to understand what they actually say about Ukrainian conflict in other countries. It is happenning literally next to my country and my city (Moscow), so it’s rather important for me. Thank you very much!

Nat

The best one for me, He feels his audience very well
keep going Adam

E.Gamal

Great lesson! My father is on the air force and after this video i know how to say military words in english.

lupikepi

Adam you’re the best teacher on Internet thanks for upload your videos for us.

rodrigog85

Wow! As I learned English, I also learned about a subject that I didn’t understand very well! Thanks Adam! This lesson is very interesting! I watched your video three times! So, I got 8 of 9! :D #Happy

Poliana Almeida

Hi Adam
I’m not convinced of number 4
I had it wrong

reemabousaid

Thanks a lot for your job!!!!!)))))))))

vazik

Ukraine has a conflict with Russia on it’s own territory.

Is it correct phrase?

Torwit

That’s very useful to me, thanks Adam. But you don’t talk about a group of soldier for example batallion, company, army groups, platoon etc

Gilang86

Thanks a lot for the explanation

Anthony12

Adam, I DO enjoy all your lessons and the way you present the subject/s.

If I may, I would like to add to your explanation about the phrase “boots on the ground”. It is also used in USA(by family of the soldier) when soldier comes back from deployment (He/she is back “home”, meaning own country.)

Samosia

Adam thank you very much for your lessons!
I like them.
My best regards.

Hello teacher, as a Navy vet I can say: you rocked! Amazing video and true statement. It is hard to explain everything in just one video but that was a WOW explanation. You forgot the coasties (Cost Guard) and National Guard (U.S), just kidding they say nobody ever mention them heheh. Thanks so much! Enlisted are not lower rank its is just different from officers for example an enlisted petty officer has to obey an officer,however, the opposite is aslo true, sometimes an officer has to obey an enlisted men/female like the Master chief petty officer of the Navy or MCPON. Again thanks so much and even if I served I really learned a lot with your video.

Nice class teacher.
Could you talk about military slangs?

Thanks.

Hi Adam.

Could you explain the difference between “war” and “warfare” and how we should use these terms?

Thank you.

wilson.med33

I would say the term “war” has wider meaning, while “warfare” means “military actions” and is actually a part of war.

Hello! Thanks a lot gor the lesson. I have a question about the word “conflict”. You`ve written it like “confict”, without “l”. Have you mistaken? Because, I found out in google translator, that it`s written, as conflict (with “l”).
