13 分钟Hi there, this is Harry, and welcome back to another podcast where I try to help you to get a better understanding of the english language so that you can talk to people in a better way, communicate in a better way, understand business English, and we help you by looking at expressions, idiomatic phrases, phrasal verbs, improved grammar, pronunciation, and everything to do to do with that.
And of course, we also look from time to time at problems that you have with words that can be a little bit confusing.
And that's the topic of the podcast today.
So we're going to take a look at words that are connected to injury or places that we, we hurt on our body.
So that sort of words that get confused are ache, pain, injury, hurt, and sore.
Okay, I did an exercise in a lesson recently with a student where we went through each of them explaining what they meant and when I would use them so that they could be better understood from the point of view of your use.
So I think I'll go through those again with you.
And again, as always, if you have any questions or you've got any comments, well, of course you can come back to me and I'll give you the details at the end of the podcast.
Okay, let's get started.
So, as I say, we're going to look at things that can be painful and can cause us some hurt.
And it's important at the beginning to understand these words.
And what type of words are they?
Are they nouns?
Are they adjectives or verbs?
Now, some of them can be used, all three.
Okay, so we can have an ache, which is the noun.
Something can be aching, okay, which can be an adjective, and something aches to ache, which we would use as the verb.
Other nouns are pain, I have a pain, saw, usually a sonus.
We would use sawness in terms of the than the noun.
We can use saw for an adjective.
