English Vocabulary Lesson on Vehicles: Cars, Trucks, and Vans

It's time to learn some English words and phrases to be able to talk about cars, trucks, and vans. As you learn English you'll want to be able to talk intelligently about your vehicle or the vehicles of other people.
In this English video Iesson I'll go over a whole bunch of vehicle parts and their meanings while we take a look at my van.
You'll learn to identify all of the common parts of a vehicle that people like you and me need to know!
⌛ Remember: Always watch the video three times. Twice today with English subtitles on, and once tomorrow with the English subtitles off. This will reinforce the English you have learned!

✅ TRANSCRIPT:
Hi! Bob the Canadian here. I thought today we would learn some English words and phrases about vehicles. My van’s not broken by the way, but I thought it might be fun just to go over a lot of different terms and words that we use when we talk about vehicles in English because some of you will probably have a vehicle and maybe you want to replace that vehicle by buying a new one. Maybe you need to get it fixed. Maybe you’re just giving someone a ride and you need to be able to talk about some of the different parts of the vehicle. So let’s take some time to talk about my van today!
So this is the front of the vehicle and there’s a few things that you’ll need to know to be able to talk about the front of your vehicle in English. These are the headlights. These are the lights you turn on when you’re driving at night. We also have the signal light or the turn signal which you use to indicate if you’re turning left or right. Down here we have the licence plate. You can’t quite see it. It’s a little bit out of frame, but the licence plate is the registration number on a plate that you put on the front of your vehicle so that the police and the government know who owns the vehicle. We also have the hood. So the hood is what you open when you need to access the motor or the engine of the vehicle. And over here we have the antenna. The antenna is connected to the radio inside so that you can listen to the music and to radio stations. You should know too that when we refer to a vehicle we talk about the driver’s side and the passenger side. So this is the side the driver sits on. That’s the side the passenger sits on. The reason this is important is because if you go to get your vehicle repaired, you usually refer to which side the problem is on by passenger side or driver’s side. So often I’ll say, you know, the driver’s side front tire is making a funny noise. Or the passenger side rear door isn’t opening properly. So driver’s side, passenger side, front and back, are how you refer to the different parts of your vehicle.
So there’s a couple more things we need to look at at the front of a vehicle. This is the windshield. It’s the window at the front of the vehicle, and these down here are the windshield wipers. That’s what you turn on when you’re driving in rain or snow. So we have the windshield, we have the windshield wipers. Let’s go and take a look at the back.
So we’re here at the back of the vehicle, by the way I think this is a good day to teach you some English about vehicles because it’s one of the first nice days here and there’s a lot of vehicles driving by. This is the back of the vehicle. We have the tail lights or the brake lights, these are also the signal lights. So these are the lights that go on when you hit the brakes to slow down. We also have the back up lights or the reverse lights so that people know if you’re backing up. So we have those obviously on the driver’s side as well as the passenger side. This on a van is called a tailgate. So you can lift the tailgate up and down in order to get in and out of the vehicle. It also has a rear window that you can look out when you’re driving. So we have the tailgate, it also has a licence plate on the back as well. So in Ontario, Canada we have licence plates on the front and back of our vehicles. On my van in particular down here there’s what we call a receiver so that you can put a hitch on the van. So I can put this down here and that allows me to hook up a trailer. You can see the ball there let’s me hook a trailer up to my van.
