From VOA Learning English, this is Everyday Grammar.
2
Imagine two American students are talking outside of their school.
3
Let's listen to the imaginary conversation.
4
Today is going slow.
5
Yeah, I guess we should study for our grammar test.
6
That sounds like a terrible idea.
7
Yeah, but if we don't study, we won't do good on the test.
8
Fine.
9
Let's go study our notes quick.
10
Then we can play video games.
11
These bad students may hate grammar,
12
but they just taught you some common grammatical structures in conversational American English.
13
In today's report, we will study how conversational grammar differs from written and formal grammatical structures.
14
We will show you how some Americans use adjectives and adverbs in casual conversation.
15
Adjectives are words that give information about nouns.
16
They generally appear before nouns, although they also appear after linking verbs.
17
Here are two examples.
18
You are a good student.
19
Learning English is fun.
20
In the two example sentences, the words good and fun are adjectives.
21
They are telling you something about a noun.
22
Adverbs are often used to modify adjectives or verbs.
23
They give information about reason, manner, time, and so on.
24
For example, the adverb loudly appears in this sentence.
25
We sang loudly.
26
The adverb loudly modifies the past tense verb sang.
27
It tells about the way in which the subject, we, sang.
28
Adverbs often have an ly ending, but there are many that do not.
29
You can read more about adverbs in past everyday grammar stories.
30
Let's think back to the conversation we heard at the beginning of the story.
31
Today is going slow.
32
Yeah, I guess we should study for our grammar test.
33
That sounds like a terrible idea.
34
Yeah, but if we don't study, we won't do good on the test.
35
Fine.
36
Let's go study our notes quick.
37
Then we can play video games.
38
Notice that the words are used differently from what might be taught in an English class.
39
In casual conversation, Americans often use adjective forms in place of adverbs.
40
They may use adjective forms to modify verbs.
41
For example, the students use good,
42
a word that is normally an adjective, as an adverb.
43
One student says, we won't do good on the test.
44
In writing and in formal conversation, Americans generally do not use the word good this way.
45
Instead, they use the word well.
46
In formal writing or speaking, you would be more likely to see or hear the sentence,
47
we won't do well on the test.
48
Americans also may use an adverb but choose not to say an ly ending.
49
For example, the student says, today is going slow, instead of today is going slowly.
50
You would be more likely to read slowly in academic writing,
51
write Susan Conrad and Douglas Biber, two English grammar experts.
52
These grammatical structures are not necessarily slang.
53
They are not necessarily impolite, either.
54
You might hear some of these structures in a restaurant, at a job fair, or even at work.
55
For example, a boss might tell an employee, we need to do this quick,
56
about a project that must be completed quickly.
57
This is the same pattern that the students used in their conversation.
58
Conrad and Beiber say that in formal speech and writing, adjective forms are almost never used to modify verbs.
59
In addition, adverbs with ly endings are more common in writing,
60
particularly in academic and news writing.
61
The good news is this.
62
We are not asking you to memorize any of the patterns we have talked about today.
63
What we hope to do is show you that the grammatical patterns in conversation
64
do not always match the patterns used in formal writing or speech.
65
There is more flexibility in casual speech.
66
Understanding this idea will help you understand Americans when they speak,
67
and it will help you sound more natural when you speak to Americans.
68
You might also be pleased to know that Americans will not judge you severely
69
if you use an adjective in place of an adverb.
70
In fact, they probably would do the same.
71

이 클립의 말하기 목표: 일상 회화의 자연스러움
이 비디오는 영어 회화 연습에서 가장 중요한 부분 중 하나인 "구어체 문법"을 다룹니다. 특히 형용사와 부사의 구어체 사용법을 통해, 공식적인 문법 규칙과 달리 실제 대화에서 자주 쓰이는 표현을 익히는 것을 목표로 합니다. 이를 통해 영어 쉐도잉이나 shadow speech 연습 시 자연스러운 발화를 구사할 수 있는 기초를 쌓을 수 있습니다.
실용 표현 모음
- "Today is going slow" (오늘은 시간이 느리게 가네)
- "That sounds like a terrible idea" (그건 정말 나쁜 생각 같아)
- "We won't do good on the test" (시험에서 잘 못 볼 거야)
- "Let's go study our notes quick" (빨리 노트 좀 공부하자)
이 표현들은 미국 학생들의 일상 대화에서 자주 등장하는 구문으로, 영어 쉐도잉 연습에 적합합니다. 발음과 리듬을 따라하면서 자연스러운 회화 느낌을 익히세요.
약점 개선하기: 구어체 문법의 비밀
영어 회화에서 자주 실수하는 부분 중 하나는 "형용사와 부사의 구별"입니다. 비디오의 대화에서 보듯이, 구어체에서는 공식 문법과 달리 shadow speak처럼 자연스러운 사용법이 존재합니다. 예를 들어 "do good"은 공식적으로는 "do well"로 써야 하지만, 일상 대화에서는 "good"을 부사처럼 사용합니다. 또 "slow" 대신 "slowly"를 쓰지 않는 경우도 많습니다.
이 차이점을 이해하면 영어 회화 연습에서 더 자연스러운 발화가 가능합니다. shadowspeak 연습 시 이러한 구어체 표현을 주의깊게 들으면서 따라하세요. 공식 문법과 구어체의 차이를 구분함으로써, 상황에 맞는 적절한 표현을 선택할 수 있게 됩니다.
쉐도잉이란? 영어 실력을 빠르게 키우는 과학적 방법
쉐도잉(Shadowing)은 원래 전문 통역사 훈련을 위해 개발된 언어 학습 기법으로, 다언어 학자인 Dr. Alexander Arguelles에 의해 대중화된 방법입니다. 핵심 원리는 간단하지만 매우 강력합니다: 원어민의 영어를 들으면서 1~2초의 짧은 지연으로 즉시 소리 내어 따라 말하는 것——마치 '그림자(shadow)'처럼 화자를 따라가는 것입니다. 문법 공부나 수동적인 청취와 달리, 쉐도잉은 뇌와 입 근육이 동시에 실시간으로 영어를 처리하고 재현하도록 훈련합니다. 연구에 따르면 이 방법은 발음 정확도, 억양, 리듬, 연음, 청취력, 말하기 유창성을 크게 향상시킵니다. IELTS 스피킹 준비와 자연스러운 영어 소통을 원하는 분들에게 특히 효과적입니다.
