Free stuff, as always for this week from the link below the video on YouTube or about the video on Facebook.

Okay, Good.

There are lots of people here now.

Fantastic.

Good.

So I'm going to share the video, and then I'm going to start the lesson.

So today, the first topic we're going to talk about today is how to express congratulations.

How to express congratulations.

So I read all of your comments on YouTube and on Facebook.

Like to see, you know, what did you think of the live stream and a lot of people, right?

Uh, like positive comments.

They want to write something positive, and they use congratulations, but they use congratulations incorrectly.

I've noticed this a lot.

So I really want to cover this point in today's live stream.

It will be our first point today with the share this video.

Okay.

Uh, hello there, Eagle, I think.

Is that one of our one remembers, I think.

Hello there.

Okay, so let's get started by talking about how to express congratulations properly.

So, first of all, the first thing I want to talk about is when do we use Sorry?

Those lives you're playing.

How do we use congratulations?

We use congratulations to celebrate an achievement, Some kind of achievement.

Something we worked to do or something special that we plant.

So the point here, the point I really want to make here is we do not use congratulations to mean.

Good job.

They do not mean the same thing.

I think many commenters.

Well, right.

Congratulations.

Like this video was really helpful.

Congratulations or something.

But that's like using congratulations to mean good job.

And we don't use it in that way.

We use congratulations for some kind of achievement.

So when you want to write a comment like a positive comment, maybe choose good job instead of congratulations.

Another thing that I see in the comment section A lot is.

Sometimes people forget this s they say congratulations, but we always use the s.

So congratulations.

Congratulations.

You need to make sure you use the s when you use congratulations.

So there's, of course, this direct way to express your congratulations.

When you hear the good news, you can say congratulations to someone.

Perfect.

That's fine.

If, however, you want to be specific, like you want to say exactly the thing you are happy for that person about this is the pattern to do it and the proposition you need to do that.

Please use congratulations on noun phrase.

Congratulations on noun phrase.

This is another thing that I see a lot in the comment sections of videos and live streams.

Congratulations on noun phrase.

So do not use, like, an infinitive verb.

Here.

Let's take a look at a few examples of this.

So congratulations on your wedding.

Congratulations on your wedding.

So wedding is somewhat air.

Two people getting married.

So your wedding is a noun phrase.

So not congratulations on Mary.

Incorrect or like, congratulations on.

I don't know.

I've seen a couple strange patterns.

Usually congratulations on, like Mary or congratulations on get married Something Please use Congratulations on your wedding or something similar.

Congratulations on the wedding is okay.

Don't noun phrase is key here.

Another example.

Congratulations on your new job, your new job.

So if your friend changes jobs and you want to congratulate them, you can say congratulations on your new job.

Congratulations on New Job or congratulations on the new job.

Ever video has a nice example in the YouTube.

Congratulations on your graduation.

Perfect.

Perfect.

Someone said congratulations for four is also okay for these two years of live streams.

Perfect.

Perfect.

Good.

Okay, Some other examples I want to talk about.

A grammar point here that many of you have asked about is Well, he's due.

Uh, let's read the first.

Congratulations on finding a house.

Congratulations on finding a house.

So if you know someone like searching for a home, they're looking for a home to buy.

Maybe rent, I suppose, And they find one.

Finally, you can say congratulations on finding a house.

Congratulations on finding a house.

So this finding this is just the verb find with i n g at the end.

So how do you make a verb into a noun that's here to make over into a noun used the i n g form of the bird.

So the grammatical like the word for this This is called a gerund.

So by just using the i n g form of avert, you can use it as now.

In this case, find becomes finding a house.

So congratulations on finding your house Finding finding a house was difficult.

Congratulations on finding pounds.

The last example is similar.

Finishing your project.

Finishing your project.

So finish the verb finish.

We can make it a noun by adding I n g finishing your project.

Congratulations on finishing your project.

So that becomes a known freeze.

Okay, some good examples.

Air coming in.

Congratulations on your success is high less Hello on Facebook Greats.

Nice one.

Jovi on YouTube says Congratulations on your new career.

Very nice.

Good.

Okay, congratulations on getting a new watch.

That's that's the situation we're probably would not use.

Congratulations.

Remember, we used congratulations to celebrate an achievement, something we worked really hard to do.

So, like you made something special or you planned a really a big event.

We typically don't use congratulations.

Like for something.

Maybe small we buy if we use congratulations for purchase.

It's for something really big.

Maybe, Maybe, like for a car.

I suppose you could use that to, So please use it for big Chief.
