Welcome back to our weekly live stream.

My name is Alicia, and today we're going to talk about how to give and ask for recommendations and advice.

This week is a good lesson for beginners.

I'm going to talk about some patterns you can use for both of these topics.

Ah, and I made the patterns kind of open.

So my goal here is to help you be able to build questions and be able to build answers as well.

So I hope everyone can find something.

At the end of today's lesson.

Mysterious Facebook.

All right.

S o.

Today we're going to cover kind of two groups.

I made today's lesson into two groups to explain before we begin.

So the top of the board in today's lesson the top of the board is recommendations, information.

So I'm going to cover how to ask for recommendations and advice, how to give, and then we'll cover tips at the end.

So the top of the board today is recommendations up here.

The bottom of the board is advice.

So there are these two kind of groups of information for today's lesson.

We're going to cover.

Okey dokey.

Facebook.

Where's your chat, man?

Come on.

Facebook.

Okay, Sorry if you're sending messages on Facebook.

Sorry.

And something very mysterious is happening.

And we cannot see your comments yet.

I will try to check on my Facebook and see if things were working there.

Anyway.

I'm going to get started.

Uh oh, yeah, I have I can see comments here.

For some reason, it's mysterious.

I will check comments down here on Facebook.

Hello, everyone of Facebook.

Benjamin and Tony and Tin.

GM and Guadalupe.

Hello.

I see you now.

For some reason, I can't see it on the screen.

Mysterious.

But I see you.

Hi, Facebook.

Welcome.

Okay, let's get started with the first part for today's lesson.

So I'm going to cover this part of the board first.

There we are.

Hi.

I'm gonna cover this part of aboard first.

I'm going to cover how to ask for recommendations and how to ask for advice.

Let's begin here.

Let's start with recommendations.

So, a recommendation?

What is a recommendation?

A recommendation?

First.

This is a noun.

Uh, it's when you want something.

You want someone's opinion about something?

Like a restaurant?

A book of movie.

You're interested in something?

You're looking for something and maybe another person has information about it.

You want that information?

What did they think is good?

How do you ask for a recommendation?

So couple patterns similar similar patterns, but some things to think about.

Do you have any recommendations?

Four Topic.

Do you have any recommendations for topic at Native Speed?

This sounds like Do you have any recommendations for something so quite quick?

Do you have any recommendations for something?

So this part do you have becomes very short.

So not do you have, but do you have?

Do you have?

Do you have any recommendations for And in my accent, this four sounds like fur and very fast Speech.

A couple of other points here.

One recommendations in this pattern should be plural.

Do you have any recommendations?

So sometimes I hear learners remove or like they forget this s sound.

Do you have any recommendations?

Four thing.

Let's look at some examples of this.

Do you have any recommendations for restaurants or do you have any recommendations for tours in London?

So a native speed.

This sounds like you have any recommendations for restaurants, or do you have any recommendations for tours in London?

So when you choose your your topic, the thing you want, the recommendation for ah point to keep in mind it's really hard.

Sorry.

If you can't see on your screen, I will read this point.

This says, if the topic is accountable known.

For example, restaurants or tours use the plural form of the known so restaurants.

So not restaurant but restaurants or tours, not tour.

So please use the plural form.

If the noun is accountable, mount.

If it's an uncountable mount, you don't need to worry, but please use the plural form in this pattern.

Do you have any recommendations?

Four.

Plural now is what you should use in this pattern.

So please keep this in mind then.

Another very common pattern.

Is this one very, very similar to this, But there are a couple of small points to keep in mind.

First we have the same.

Do you have any?

Which is fine.

Just as I talked about here, that kind of quick.

Do you have any?

Do you have any pronunciation?

But the thing that's different here is that your topic comes before the word recommendations, and in this pattern, you should use the singular form of your now, not the plural form, so you can put your topic before or after recommendations.

Oh, I just lost a screen.

Uh, you can put your topic before recommendations, and it can be singular, or you can put your topic after recommendations with four, but it should be plural.

So please keep this in mind some examples of this.

Do you have any horror movie recommendations?

Horror movie records?

A horror movie means scary, really?

So do you have any horror movie recommendations in this pattern?

My topic.

The thing I want the recommendation for comes before recommendations.

Yeah, so recommendations.

Plural form here yet?

Or movie, however, is singular.

Horror movie recommendations, horror movies recommendations is incorrect.

You cannot use that.

Another example.

Do you have any book recommendations?

Book is in the singular.

For so again you could use thes with this pattern.

Also, they mean the same thing.

It's up to you.

There's no difference in meaning here.

You could say, Do you have any recommendations for horror movies?

Correct or do you have any recommendations?

Were books correct?

So just keep in mind the singular plural thing.

Some examples Air coming in.

Uh, do you have any recommendations for an island tour?

Ah, honey.

Flower gifts, deliveries.

A long name, Please don't forget.

Do you have any recommendations for?

So don't forget, this s at the end of your recommendations there.

Uh, pasta Kim says, Do you have any burger joint recommendations?

So So two of you so far, you're s You are missing the s at the end of your recommendation recommendations.

Don't forget that, uh, show GLA says, Do you have any recommendations for today's topic?

Uh, yeah, you could say that, but like, it's kind of What exactly are you asking about?

That part's not clear.

Grammatically correct.

Uh, jury says, do you have any recommendations for my trip to your country?

That's what I would say for my trip to your country.

Okay.

Uh, it's okay.

My trick.

Your phone for F b.

Cool.

Copy.

So Facebook comments.

Sorry, Facebook.

There's some interesting issues here.

I will.

I'm looking at your comments.

I have to check it on my on my phone.

Uh, Facebook.

I don't see your examples yet What exactly is recommendation?

So recommendation is someone else's suggestion someone else's suggestion for something that they want?

Uh, Boeri says.

Does she have?

So you can change the subject from Do you have to?

Does he or does she have any coffee recommendations?

Is good.

Okay, good.

Let's continue then.

To part two.

Part two is about advice.

So we talked about how to ask for recommendations.

Now let's talk about how to ask for advice.

This I made this Ah, very, very open pattern so that you can build your own questions with this.

Okay, so to make this advice pattern, let's use a W H question when I say w h question.

I mean, who, what, where?

When?

Why, How those questions?

So those information gathering questions?

W wait.

Question.

Do you think I should verb or verb phrase?

This is a very basic advice pattern.

Let's take a look at some examples of how to build questions with this pattern.

First, I need to choose a W H question to start.

So what?

What do you think I should say?

Here's my verb say to my boss.

So I've made a verb phrase here.

Depending on the situation may be just a verb is OK.

Your idea is complete with just the verb.

But say to my boss, what do you think I should say to my boss?

So you're looking for advice in a challenging work situation?

What do you think I should say to my boss?

So end this with the verb phrase.
