8. 0:13where I'm going to help you learn
9. 0:14over 50 English action verbs
10. 0:17and I'm going to try and make them really easy to remember
11. 0:20by acting them all out.
12. 0:22(light music)
13. 0:29Well hey, welcome to this English lesson,
14. 0:31where I'm going to help you learn some English action verbs
15. 0:34that we do with our bodies.
16. 0:36Before we get started though,
17. 0:37if this is your first time here,
18. 0:39don't forget to click that red subscribe button
19. 0:40and give me a thumbs up if this video helps you learn
20. 0:42just a little bit more English.
21. 0:44Let's get started.
22. 0:45Let's start by talking about the eyes.
23. 0:48When you go to bed at night you close your eyes
24. 0:50so that you can fall asleep.
25. 0:52In the morning when you wake up you open your eyes
26. 0:54so that you can see.
27. 0:56During the day you blink a lot.
28. 0:59I'm not sure exactly how many times
29. 1:01and you don't even need to think about it.
30. 1:02You just blink to keep your eyes moist.
31. 1:05If someone does something you don't like
32. 1:07you might stare at them.
33. 1:09That means you just keep looking
34. 1:10at them directly for a long time
35. 1:12and of course there's a couple other things.
36. 1:14You can cover your eyes,
37. 1:16or you might tell a child to cover their eyes
38. 1:19so they don't see something that they're not supposed to
39. 1:21and if you like someone, you might wink at them.
40. 1:25I'm not very good at winking.
41. 1:26I can do it with this eye,
42. 1:27but I have trouble doing it with that eye.
43. 1:30So you might be wondering
44. 1:32is there anything you can do with your whole head?
45. 1:34Well, there's two things actually.
46. 1:36If you agree with someone you can nod
47. 1:39and if you disagree with someone you can shake your head.
48. 1:42A nod, or to nod means yes
49. 1:45and if you shake your head, it means no.
50. 1:48So what kind of actions can you do with your nose?
51. 1:50Well, little kids and adults sometimes will pick their nose.
52. 1:54They'll put their finger in their nose,
53. 1:56I'm not actually doing it by the way
54. 1:58and they'll pick their nose.
55. 2:00Sometimes when you are not feeling well
56. 2:02you need to blow your nose.
57. 2:04I'm not actually gonna do it because I don't need to
58. 2:06and if you're sick you will sometime sneeze.
59. 2:09Ahchoo.
60. 2:10You can also use your nose to sniff.
61. 2:13(sniffing)
62. 2:15Maybe before you plug your nose, you sniff
63. 2:19and you smell something that doesn't smell very good
64. 2:21and if you're good at it, you can wiggle your nose.
65. 2:26It's kind of hard for me to do.
66. 2:28(whistling)
67. 2:30Hi, let's talk a little bit about the mouth.
68. 2:32There are a lot of things that you can do with the mouth.
69. 2:34Obviously you can talk and you can speak with your mouth
70. 2:38and you can also whistle like I was just doing.
71. 2:41(whistling)
72. 2:42You can also sing with your mouth.
73. 2:45La la la la.
74. 2:47That's about as much singing
75. 2:48as you're probably gonna hear from me.
76. 2:50You can whisper with your mouth.
77. 2:52So if you wanna talk really quietly to someone
78. 2:55you might whisper to them.
79. 2:57(humming)
80. 2:59Another thing you might do with your mouth is hum.
81. 3:01Maybe you don't like to sing and you don't like to whistle.
82. 3:04Maybe you like to hum.
83. 3:05(humming)
84. 3:07Another thing you might do with your mouth is kiss.
85. 3:10I'm not going to kiss Jen right now,
86. 3:11but I'll demonstrate using my hand.
87. 3:15So you can also use your mouth to give someone a kiss.
88. 3:17Obviously when you're eating food,
89. 3:21you're going to use your mouth to chew
90. 3:23and if you're not feeling well, you will probably cough.
91. 3:27We used to cover our mouth when we coughed,
92. 3:29we used to go,
93. 3:31but now we're supposed to cough into our elbow
94. 3:35and of course, how could I forget,
95. 3:36when you have an ice cream cone,
96. 3:38you can lick the ice cream.
97. 3:43That's really good ice cream.
98. 3:45Let's talk about the ears.
99. 3:46If you are somewhere really loud
100. 3:48you might plug your ears or you might cover your ears.
101. 3:52Those are two things you can do
102. 3:54if you're somewhere where it's really loud.
103. 3:56When I was a kid my grandmother used to pull on my ears
104. 4:00when I was bad.
105. 4:01That wasn't very nice
106. 4:02and the last thing you can do
107. 4:04is if you are having trouble hearing someone
108. 4:06you can cup your ear.
109. 4:08So when you cup your ear with your hand
110. 4:10it makes it easier to hear somebody.
111. 4:13So let's talk a little bit about the hands.
112. 4:15There are a few things you can do with your hands
113. 4:17that aren't very nice.
114. 4:18You can pinch someone.
115. 4:20That's when you grab their skin like this.
116. 4:23It's not very nice when you do this,
117. 4:25but you can pinch someone.
118. 4:26You can poke someone with your finger.
119. 4:29You can poke someone if you have a question,
120. 4:31you can say, excuse me, sir I have a question.
121. 4:34You can punch someone.
122. 4:36It's not very nice to punch someone,
123. 4:38but if you watch a boxing match
124. 4:40you will see them punch each other
125. 4:42and you could slap someone.
126. 4:44I did this in my video last week
127. 4:46when I was pretending there was a mosquito on me.
128. 4:48So you can pinch, punch, poke, or slap.
129. 4:54In the winter in Canada sometimes
130. 4:56the doors to our vehicles freeze shut
131. 4:59and you need to yank on the door to get it open.
132. 5:04That means you need to pull really hard on it.
133. 5:06We also have another verb to tug.
134. 5:08You have to tug on the door to get it open.
135. 5:11This one's frozen shut.
136. 5:13When you pull on something
137. 5:15you're trying to make it come towards you when you pull it.
138. 5:19When you push on something
139. 5:22you're trying to make it go away from you.
140. 5:25I remember when I was a little kid
141. 5:27my dad taught me how to snap my fingers.
142. 5:30When you snap your fingers, it makes a really cool sound.
143. 5:33We can also use our fingers to flick things.
144. 5:35So if a mosquito landed on me I could flick it away.
145. 5:39We use our fingers to point.
146. 5:41So if I wanted you to go over there
147. 5:43I could point over there to let you know which way to go
148. 5:46and we also use our fingers to make really bad gestures,
149. 5:50but I'm not going to show you
150. 5:51which gesture I'm making here,
151. 5:53because it's not a very nice one.
152. 5:54Speaking of mosquitoes,
153. 5:56if there were mosquitoes flying around me right now,
154. 5:59I could swat them.
155. 6:01When you do this with your hands, you are swatting.
156. 6:04We also, when we really like a performance, we'll clap.
157. 6:08It's also called applause.
158. 6:09It's always nice to clap your hands
159. 6:11when someone does a good job playing music,
160. 6:14or performing in a play.
161. 6:16The other thing we use our hands for
162. 6:18is we used to shake hands with people,
163. 6:20but now we actually bump elbows.
164. 6:23Shaking hands is no longer considered
165. 6:26to be a good thing to do because it spreads disease.
166. 6:28So now we bump elbows.
167. 6:30Hey, how are you doing?
168. 6:32When you see someone, you know, you sometimes wave to them
169. 6:35and there's a few other things that you do with your hands
170. 6:37that I need to explain as well.
171. 6:39Sometimes you will tickle someone.
172. 6:42If it's someone you know really well, or a little kid,
173. 6:44you might tickle them.
174. 6:45That's when you kind of do this with your hand
175. 6:48and it makes them giggle.
176. 6:49I am a very ticklish person.
177. 6:51I do not like to be tickled.
178. 6:53The other thing you can do with your hand is you can rub.
179. 6:57When you do this with your hand, you are rubbing.
180. 6:59This is to rub
181. 7:01and the other thing you can do is squeeze.
182. 7:03So when you grab something like this, like my arm,
183. 7:06I can grab it and then squeeze my arm.
184. 7:09Oscar likes it when I pet him
185. 7:12and that's one more thing you can do with your hands.
186. 7:15If you're somewhere where there's really good, loud music
187. 7:18you can dance.
188. 7:19I think this is the first time I'm dancing in a video.
189. 7:24If you don't know something
190. 7:25you can use your shoulders to shrug.
191. 7:27If the teacher asks you a question
192. 7:29and you don't know the answer
193. 7:30you can just say, I don't know.
194. 7:32The other thing you can do that rhymes was shrug is hug.
195. 7:35That's when you go like this to someone
196. 7:38and you just put your arms around them
197. 7:40so that they know that you like them.
198. 7:42Let's talk about the difference between to trip and to slip.
199. 7:46If I was walking along
200. 7:49and there was something like this brick here,
201. 7:51I might trip on it.
202. 7:53So when you trip on something, it means you walk into it.
203. 7:56If however, there was some ice here
204. 7:59and I was walking along and I slipped on it.
205. 8:03That way it would be how you use the verb to slip.
206. 8:06So to trip means you walk into something.
207. 8:09To slip means you're on something slippery.
208. 8:12Another action you can do is you can jump,
209. 8:14or if you want, you can go on one foot and you can hop.
210. 8:18I'm gonna try not to fall over.
211. 8:21You can also squat and look at something on the ground
212. 8:25and if you're playing a game like soccer
213. 8:27you can kick the ball.
214. 8:29I'm pretty sure
215. 8:30you already know the verb to run and to walk,
216. 8:33but we also have the verb to tip toe.
217. 8:37When you tip toe, you walk really carefully and quietly.
218. 8:42So people won't hear you.
219. 8:43Sometimes little kids will also skip.
220. 8:46It looks like this.
221. 8:47I did an earlier.
