Learn English in this newest English Grammar lesson on the Aussie English podcast!
In today's episode, I am going to teach you how to correctly use the articles IS and ARE.
There is one simple rule for it, and it has something to do with the subject of your sentence. Subject = who or what you are talking about in the sentence.
We will also go through some practice sentences. Listen to how I say the whole sentences because there are some word sounds that link to one another.
As always, don't hesitate saying the words or sentences out loud! You are learning and you are doing great!

This is a great video and is very insightful. I hear the plural conjugation commonly used, especially in Australia, NZ and the United Kingdom. A native American-English speaker would never use the plural form. Thanks. Love your channel

[@AussieEnglishPodcast]

Very interesting! Thanks mate

[@hamilcecoda8904]

Great video!. Thanks for sharing. From Brazil

[@beomseokim683]

Hello I'm Korean and came to here in Brisbane, Australia as a working holiday Visa and I'm having difficulty with listening to Australian accent haha. So I subscribed to your channel and it's really helpful for me. Thanks for your videos ^^

[@harper277]

I’ve seen grammar books that allow you to make the choice between a group of individuals or singular collective noun.

[@omniacontrariasunt]

Thank you! Very useful!

[@AussieEnglishPodcast]

Cheers, Num! What would you like the next video to cover?

[@mariak2379]

Thank you Pete! It was very useful)

[@AussieEnglishPodcast]

Cheers, Maria!

[@gh1987ca]

I have noticed this as well in the past few years. Also, when you pronounce ‘English’ it sounds to me as if you are saying ‘Engwish’. You are an excellent speaker and great communicator!

[@AussieEnglishPodcast]

Lol you're not the first person to say that and in fact when I get my podcast episodes transcribed by a website, often it transcribes "English" as "Anguish". haha

[@myrealitybyme]

Thank you Peter, very helpful!

[@AussieEnglishPodcast]

Cheers, Talita!

[@adam248]

It helps me a lot, carry on mate

[@AussieEnglishPodcast]

Cheers, Adam!

G'day from Melbourne, Australia 🦘🇦🇺

[@AussieEnglishPodcast]

G'day, mate!

[@Nannerchan]

The collective noun should always be singular-at least in American English.

[@AussieEnglishPodcast]

Hehe ask them why some Americans say "He do". Languages are strange haha

[@FionaEm]

It's true that we native speakers tend to mix singular words with collective words. I guess we just say what sounds right, even if it's not grammatically correct.

[@AussieEnglishPodcast]

Yeah, I think that's the beautiful part of how languages evolve over time too.

[@sebastiansantiago6452]

Thanks for this informative video and appreciate what you are doing. Recently I got a job in Call Center and I have to make sales calls to Australian customers and businesses, get a lot of rejection as not a native speaker. Could you please make a video about how to make sure in initial few seconds of phone call that customer listens and don't hang up. May be something that dont make them feel they are talking overseas.

[@jaydenaye7982]

G’day Pete! I always enjoy your videos! Thank you!

[@AussieEnglishPodcast]

Thanks a lot, Kevin! Where you from?

[@jaydenaye7982]

@@AussieEnglishPodcast From Tokyo! I’m going to get into uni in qld this year!

[@MyNipplesArePointy]

Ah so Aussies do this too. I've seen this in a US vs UK dialect comparison where apparently Americans never do this but English people do, so it's cool to know Aussies do this too.

[@AussieEnglishPodcast]

Yeah, I haven't paid enough attention to other dialects of English, but it's definitely common in Australia.

[@Sara-nu1gc]

Beautiful

[@AussieEnglishPodcast]

:D

[@docholl93]

One of the things that loads of native speakers say that i just can't stand is "try and do it" 😂

[@Cristype1diabetic]

Great tips man, so I am advanced in English, if I go to Austrália, can I understand australians? I mean, I've studied american English. Good job and congrats.

[@havuanhle]

Hi Pete, once I talked with my friend about movie, The Matrix in fact. I said "I love it" and I meant it, I still watch it again sometimes. But then he corrected me "You loved it?". Why is that? Same thing to Music, books? Thank you.

[@AussieEnglishPodcast]

Interesting. I think that he's focusing on the experience you HAD with something as happening in the past as opposed to what you THINK of it in the present. I love the Matrix. It's one of my favourite movies. I loved the Matrix when I first saw it. It was amazing and still is. It's just different ways of thinking about the same thing, past vs present.

[@havuanhle]

@@AussieEnglishPodcast yep thank you Pete. Understood.

[@properbritishenglish]

I agree with the weirdo! 😂

[@HYPERxSONICxFANx2012]

collective nouns using plural verbs will always sound wrong to me

[@laurapills]

you wrote "into" at the beginning as "in a"

[@Sara-nu1gc]

I can use the sound of your videos

[@AussieEnglishPodcast]

Hope you're enjoying them, mate!

[@Sara-nu1gc]

Yes, thank you. Do I understand from your answer? Yes

[@itsROMPERS...]

I HATE this! I noticed it first from Brits, but now even Americans are picking it up! Things like "Apple ARE releasing a new iPhone", which is WRONG! The English are terrible at speaking English!

[@HYPERxSONICxFANx2012]

i hate it too
