Look at these examples to see how stative verbs are used.

I think that's a good idea.
I love this song!
That coffee smells good.
Do you have a pen?

Try this exercise to test your grammar.

Read the explanation to learn more.

Grammar explanation

Stative verbs describe a state rather than an action. They aren't usually used in the present continuous form.

I don't know the answer. I'm not knowing the answer.
She really likes you.She's really liking you.
He seems happy at the moment.He's seeming happy at the moment.

Stative verbs often relate to:

Verbs that are sometimes stative

A number of verbs can refer to states or actions, depending on the context.

I think it's a good idea.
Wait a moment! I'm thinking.

The first sentence expresses an opinion. It is a mental state, so we use present simple. In the second example the speaker is actively processing thoughts about something. It is an action in progress, so we use present continuous.

Some other examples are:

I have an old car. (state - possession)
I'm having a quick break. (action - having a break is an activity)

Do you see any problems with that? (state - opinion)
We're seeing Tadanari tomorrow afternoon. (action - we're meeting him)

He's so interesting! (state - his permanent quality)
He's being very unhelpful. (action - he is temporarily behaving this way)

This coffee tastes delicious. (state - our perception of the coffee)
Look! The chef is tasting the soup. (action - tasting the soup is an activity)

Look at these examples to see how used to, would and the past simple are used.

They used to live in London.
I didn't use to like olives.
We would always go to the seaside for our holidays.
But one holiday we went to the mountains instead.

Try this exercise to test your grammar.

Grammar explanation

When we talk about things in the past that are not true any more, we can do it in different ways.

Used to + infinitive

We can use used to to talk about past states that are not true any more.

We used to live in New York when I was a kid.
There didn't use to be a supermarket there. When did it open?
Did you use to have a garden?

We can also use used to to talk about past habits (repeated past actions) that don't happen any more.

I used to go swimming every Thursday when I was at school.
She used to smoke but she gave up a few years ago.

used to + infinitive should not be confused with be/get used to + -ing, which has a different meaning. The difference is covered here.

We can use would to talk about repeated past actions that don't happen any more.

Every Saturday I would go on a long bike ride.
My dad would read me amazing stories every night at bedtime.

would for past habits is slightly more formal than used to. It is often used in stories. We don't normally use the negative or question form of would for past habits. Note that we can't usually use would to talk about past states.

Past simple

We can always use the past simple as an alternative to used to or would to talk about past states or habits. The main difference is that the past simple doesn't emphasise the repeated or continuous nature of the action or situation. Also, the past simple doesn't make it so clear that the thing is no longer true.

We went to the same beach every summer.
We used to go to the same beach every summer.
We would go to the same beach every summer.

If something happened only once, we must use the past simple.

I'm going to try to visit my relatives in Australia this year.
The restaurant is reserved for 8. We're having a drink at Beale's first.

Try this exercise to test your grammar.

Grammar explanation

We use different verb forms to talk about our plans for the future, depending on what kind of plan it is: a spontaneous plan, a pre-decided plan or an arrangement.

We use will to talk about spontaneous plans decided at the moment of speaking.

Oops, I forgot to phone Mum! I'll do it after dinner.
I can't decide what to wear tonight. I know! I'll wear my green shirt.
There's no milk. I'll buy some when I go to the shops.

We use going to to talk about plans decided before the moment of speaking.

I'm going to phone Mum after dinner. I told her I'd call at 8 o'clock.
I'm going to wear my black dress tonight.
I'm going to go to the supermarket after work. What do we need?

Present continuous

We usually use the present continuous when the plan is an arrangement - already confirmed with at least one other person and we know the time and place.

I'm meeting Jane at 8 o'clock on Saturday.
We're having a party next Saturday. Would you like to come?

We often use the present continuous to ask about people's future plans.

Are you doing anything interesting this weekend?

'used to' + infinitive and 'be' or 'get used to' + '-ing': Grammar test 1

Read the explanation to learn more.

Grammar explanation

Used to + infinitive and be/ get used to + - ing look similar but they have very different uses.

We use used to + infinitive to talk about a past situation that is no longer true. It tells us that there was a repeated action or state in the past which has now changed.

She used to be a long-distance runner when she was younger.
I didn't use to sleep very well, but then I started doing yoga and it really helps.
Did you use to come here as a child?

be used to and get used to

Be used to means 'be familiar with' or 'be accustomed to'.

She's used to the city now and doesn't get lost any more.
He wasn't used to walking so much and his legs hurt after the hike.
I'm a teacher so I'm used to speaking in public.

We use get used to to talk about the process of becoming familiar with something.

I'm finding this new job hard but I'm sure I'll get used to it soon.
It took my mother years to get used to living in London after moving from Pakistan.
I'm getting used to the noise now. I found it really stressful when I first moved in.

Be used to and get used to are followed by a noun, pronoun or the - ing form of a verb, and can be used about the past, present or future.

Look at these examples to see how gradable and non-gradable adjectives are used.

It's absolutely freezing.
This exercise is really difficult.
This exercise is completely impossible.

Try this exercise to test your grammar.

Grammar test 1

Adjectives: gradable and non-gradable: Grammar test 1

Grammar explanation

Gradable adjectives

Most adjectives are gradable. This means we can have different levels of that quality. For example, you can be a bit cold, very cold or extremely cold. We can make them weaker or stronger with modifiers:

She was quite angry when she found out.
The film we saw last night was really funny!
It can be extremely cold in Russia in the winter.

Here is a list of some common gradable adjectives and some modifiers that we can use with them.

Non-gradable: absolute adjectives

Some adjectives are non-gradable. For example, something can't be a bit finished or very finished. You can't be a bit dead or very dead. These adjectives describe absolute qualities. To make them stronger we have to use modifiers like absolutely, totally or completely:

Thank you, I love it! It's absolutely perfect!
Their farm was totally destroyed by a tornado.
My work is completely finished. Now I can relax.

Here is a list of some common absolute adjectives and some modifiers that we can use with them.

Non-gradable: extreme adjectives

Adjectives like amazing, awful and boiling are also non-gradable. They already contain the idea of 'very' in their definitions. If we want to make extreme adjectives stronger, we have to use absolutely or really:

Did you see the final match? It was absolutely amazing!
After 32 hours of travelling, they were absolutely exhausted.
My trip home was really awful. First, traffic was really bad, then the car broke down and we had to walk home in the rain.

Here is a list of some common extreme adjectives and some modifiers that we can use with them.

When you think of Halloween, you probably think of pumpkin lanterns, fancy-dress costumes and children asking for sweets. And if you think of a country that celebrates Halloween, you probably think of the United States first. Americans and Canadians have adopted Halloween in a big way, but did you know that Halloween traditions actually come from Ireland, Scotland, England and Wales?

The origins of Halloween

The Celts were people who lived in ancient Britain and Ireland from about 1000 BC and they celebrated a festival called 'Samhain'. Samhain was celebrated on 1 November because that was the end of summer and harvest time (which was associated with food and life) and the beginning of winter (which they associated with death). Have you ever wondered why Halloween colours are orange and black? Orange is related to harvests and black is related to death.

Samhain was the time for ghosts to return to earth for a day. People lit a big fire, wore special clothes made of animal skin and hoped to be safe from the ghosts and the winter.

In early America, the Native Americans and the first Europeans celebrated the end of the harvest, but not Halloween. When many Irish people went to live in America in the 1800s, they brought their Halloween traditions with them and Halloween became popular throughout the country.

Pumpkin lanterns

Many people make pumpkin lanterns to decorate their homes at Halloween. They remove the inside of the pumpkin, cut shapes for the eyes, nose and mouth and place a candle in the empty pumpkin to make a scary face. This tradition came from the Celts, who carved faces into vegetables like turnips and potatoes to scare the ghosts and make them go away. Irish people who came to live in the United States found pumpkins much easier to carve, and the tradition became the one we see today.

Halloween costumes

People of all ages dress up on Halloween. In the UK some of the most popular costumes include witches, vampires, ghosts, skeletons, zombies and monsters. We can trace this tradition back to the Celts, who were afraid of the ghosts that came on Samhain. If they went outside after dark, they covered their faces with masks. They hoped any ghosts they met would think they were ghosts too and would leave them alone.

North Americans wear all kinds of Halloween costumes and not just scary things like witches and ghosts. This is because in the late 19th century, people tried to make Halloween less about ghosts and more about celebrating the season with a party for neighbours and family.

Trick-or-treating

On Halloween children knock on their neighbours' doors and ask for 'treats', like sweets or chocolates. In ancient Britain, Celtic people went from house to house dressed in costumes, asking for gifts and food for the Samhain festival. When Irish people went to live in America, they continued this tradition and it became trick-or-treating. Nowadays going trick-or-treating is so popular in the USA that a quarter of the sweets for the year are sold for this one day!

Around the world

Catholic people around the world celebrate All Saints Day on 1 November and All Souls Day on 2 November. On these days, people remember relatives, friends and other people who have died. In Mexico, people celebrate the Day of the Dead at this time and many dress up as skeletons, and paint skulls on their faces. Nowadays, more and more people around the world are celebrating both the Day of the Dead and Halloween. Will you celebrate this year?

The VivaLing English podcast is back!

Welcome to season 2 and what better way than a road trip round England.
As usual - Tom will delight you with questions, facts and curiosities - and who knows? Inspire your next trip to England.

I'm so happy to be back. I've missed you, and I hope you haven't missed me too much. Before I start today's podcast - a promotional message. Did you know, you can study English, French, Spanish, German and Mandarin Chinese in live online sessions. Register at vivaling.com, and you can have a free 25 minute trial session.

So, this is the Vivaling English Podcast Season 2

An English Road Trip

My name is Tom and I am from England. Today I'm going to take you on a road tour, and together we are going to learn about some of my favourite places.

England is famous for many things, our capital city London is one of the most famous cities in the world, people know our queen, our writers such as William Shakespeare and our strange habits such as drinking tea and eating fish and chips.

But - it is a small country - less than half the size of our neighbour France, but I sense a question coming up - The United States of America has 50 states. How many of these states are bigger than the country of England. Pay attention, my friends - the answer will be at the end of this podcast.

I am going to recommend three interesting places that you can visit, but before I do so - as this is a road trip, I am going to tell you some important facts about driving a car in England.

Pay attention - if you know me well, you will know that sometimes what I say is not true. Of these 5 facts, one is not true.

1. In England, motorways are free. You don't have to pay to drive on the fastest roads.

2. The road signs and speed limits are in miles per hour - not kilometres. On motorways, the speed limit is 70 miles per hour (that is approximately 112 kilometres per hour).

3. Cars in England have the steering wheel on the right hand side and you must remember to drive on the left hand side of the road. But England is not the only country in the world like this - in Japan, India, Pakistan, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand (amongst other countries) people also drive on the left.

4. Many of the busy roads people drive on today were originally bult by the Romans more than 1500 years ago. The Fosse Way, Watling Street and Icknield Way were all constructed by the Romans.

5. England is a small country with a big population and lots of cars. Not many people know that is has the highest road congestion statistics of any country in the world, so make sure you are ready to be stuck in plenty of traffic jams.

Five fascinating facts, but which do you think - is not true?

Well, according to confused.com, although there is a lot of traffic in England - it is not the worst in the world - that distinction falls to the United Arab Emirates. If you are listening to this in the United Arab Emirates, maybe you are in a traffic jam now. England is the 11th worst in the world.

Now for my recommendations. You've arrived in England. You've got off the plane, you've got off the ferry, you've got off the train. You've got in your car.

One place is famous for its nature, another for its cultural scene and a third for its history, and I hope they are places which won't disappoint you.

But pay attention - after describing these places, I will ask you some questions to check you have understood.

Number 1 The Lizard

What are you talking about ? Are you crazy? A lizard is an animal.. A reptile - not a place. But The Lizard is a spectacular area of cliffs and coves located nearly 300 miles from London on the South coast of Cornwall. It has a number of paths which take you to the viewpoints where you can look down at the waves crashing against the rock formations hundreds of meters below. Some people think it's called the Lizard because it looks like one, but in fact it comes from the Ancient Cornish language and means "High Place". Don't forget to try some of the local food and drink while you are there. A Cornish Pasty is a local delicacy - originally invented for the tin miners to take with them to work, it has thick pastry, beef, swede and onions. It's not a sophisticated meal, but it's cheap, filling and delicious. Highly recommended.

Number 2 Liverpool

After your trip down to the coast of Cornwall, you might like to experience a bit of culture. Why not drive the 378 miles north up to Liverpool? Most people know that Liverpool was the home of the Beatles, England's most successful pop music band, and also of two of our most successful football teams, Liverpool and Everton, but it also holds some other notable achievements. The world's first ever passenger train was from Liverpool to Manchester. Liverpool is home to the oldest Chinese community in Europe, because of the ships that used to bring silk from the port of Shanghai. Today, there are said to be over 10,000 Chinese people living in Liverpool.

Number 3 Whitby

Now it's time to head 150 miles east across England to the town of Whitby. This old fishing town with its picturesque harbour overlooked by the ruins of the supposedly haunted Whitby Abbey is particularly interesting around Halloween when the Whitby gothic festival is held. Thousands of strange people wearing black and looking like ghosts come to the town, but why? This is the town that inspired Bram Stoker to write the story of Dracula, and it is the town where his ship arrived from Transylvania and where the evil vampire's adventures began. A great place for you to pick up some vampire themed souvenirs from your road trip to England.

I hope you travel to these 3 places. When you do, you can send a message to the Vivaling Podcast Instagram.

But first let's look at some questions.
Is the Lizard named after an animal?
No. it comes from the Cornish for High place
What are the ingredient of a Cornish pasty?
Beef, swede and onions. (Swede is a round yellow root vegetable with a purple skin)
What city in China has a link to Liverpool?
Shanghai
What method of transport was first used in Liverpool?
The passenger train
What festival is held in Whitby?
The gothic festival
And finally - what supernatural creature was inspired by Whitby?
Dracula.

I hope these recommendations can inspire your trip to England, but before we finish, let's remember the question I asked you at the beginning of this podcast.

The United States of America has 50 states. How many of these states are bigger than the country of England?

Well - if you said 31 states - you are amazing because you are completely right. But I'll give you a point if you said anything between 26 and 36.

Isn't it amazing that a place as small as England has so many interesting places to visit, and that our language is spoken by so many people across the world. And understood by you.

Thank you for listening

Does cannabis cure cancer? We asked an expert

David Robert Grimes, Queen's University Belfast

For thousands of years people have used cannabis for recreational, ritualistic and medicinal purposes. In the modern era, the latter property excites a lot of people, and there is no shortage of wild claims about the supposed medical benefits of the plant. Of all the claims, perhaps the most bold is the assertion that cannabis can cure cancer.

Astounding testimonials about cannabis and its derived products shrinking tumours or curing terminal cases are easy to find on the internet. But alluring as these stories are, they tend to be based on misunderstanding, wishful thinking or outright falsehood.

Let's start by asking what the medical efficacy might be. Contrary to what most people believe, medical uses of cannabis have been widely studied. A 2017 review by the National Academy of Science looked at over 10,000 studies. They found evidence for some applications of cannabis, including managing chronic pain and spasms associated with multiple sclerosis. There was also good evidence that tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the main psychoactive ingredient in cannabis, can reduce the nausea caused by chemotherapy. Indeed, a synthetic form of THC, called dronabinol, has been prescribed for just this use for decades.

But, crucially, there is zero evidence that cannabis has any curative or even helpful impact on cancer, despite enthusiastic claims to the contrary.

Why then is there such a gulf between public perception and scientific evidence? Part of this is misunderstanding. For example, an often aired claim is that high-dose THC kills cancer cells in a petri dish. This is true, but not very meaningful.

Killing cells in a dish is extremely easy; you can do so with anything from heat to bleach. But effective anti-cancer agents must be able to selectively kill cancer cells in the human body while sparing healthy ones. The reality is that cannabis simply cannot do this.

It's natural, man

Other cannabis advocates are driven by ideological fixation, most often expressed in a sentiment that cannabis is "natural" and implicitly better than pharmacological drugs. But this is a classic example of an "appeal to nature" argument, and thus rather dubious.

The term "natural" is somewhat vague. If we define natural to mean that which occurs without human intervention, the argument still doesn't hold. Arsenic, plutonium and cyanide are also natural, yet it would be a poor strategy to binge on these substances. The active compounds of many drugs are themselves discovered in plants, synthesised to control the dose and maximise efficacy. We already have THC-derived medicines, but these do not cure cancer, and neither does cannabis. Sadly, some cannabis advocates go further, claiming that cannabis's cancer-curing abilities are covered up by drug companies. This is abject nonsense. Such a conspiracy would be massive and would rapidly collapse.

Given that around half of us will be affected by cancer in our lifetime, a cure would be not only be hugely profitable, even though the patent laws for "natural" products are complicated, it would also garner its discoverer infinite gratitude, financial rewards and scientific honours. The idea that researchers would be callous enough to suppress a cancer cure, and the rewards that would go with it, is ludicrous.

The reality is that cancer is a complex family of disease, and it is unlikely that there will ever be a single cure. Cannabis may be useful for treating some people's nausea when undergoing chemotherapy, but we can say with confidence that the idea that it cures cancer is a myth.

Scamming the Scammers

Tiffany Wilson is a scambaiter; that is, she spends time communicating with scammers in order to catch them out. Here she tells her story.

'I first got into scambaiting when my grandmother got tempted into adopting a puppy. She'd seen some pictures of cute puppies on social media, along with a text saying that they were going to get killed unless someone adopted them. Fortunately, I warned her before it was too late. Scammers attract people with bargain prices, so she didn't lose much. It isn't until later, when people have fallen in love with their puppy, that the scammers start demanding huge amounts of money. We tried to get the money back from the bank, but that wasn't possible.

'I was already familiar with the puppy scam then. We'd learnt about scamming during internet safety classes at school, though I heard about the puppy scam elsewhere. It was mentioned in an online video about the different ways scammers get money out of people. I think my generation knows much more about scamming than older people. It's occasionally mentioned in the kinds of news articles my grandma reads, but people my age who see loads of scambaiting videos have a much better idea of how common scamming is and the tactics that are used.

'Scambaiting involves engaging scammers in conversation. When they ask you to do something, you act a little stupid by asking lots of questions or making mistakes. It's frustrating for them, but they stay on the line patiently because they think they will get money out of you. I don't think you can be a scambaiter unless you are pretty sociable, as you have to talk to people for a long time. Most scambaiters put videos of their calls online, and the popular ones are very funny.

'I scambait first and foremost because I want to help people recognise scams, and although most viewers of my videos are young, I'm sure the content they learn passes on to other family members. It'd be nice if I actually helped to get a scammer arrested, but there are just too many scammers for police to deal with. But as long as I am wasting a scammer's time, that person can't be scamming someone else. I also get a bit of income from the adverts that go out on my videos.

'Some scambaiters go too far, though, when creating entertainment by punishing the scammers. I saw one video in which the scambaiter convinced a scammer that he had a well-paid job for him in Lagos. The guy used all his money to travel to the capital of Nigeria, and when he got there, there was nothing for him. For the scambaiter and the viewers, that was all a big joke. For that poor guy in Africa who was trying to earn a living by any means, it was a real situation and it could have been dangerous.

'I'm aware that scambaiting doesn't promote good international relationships. The most popular of my videos are the ones that make the scammers look foolish, and I'm forever deleting racist comments. I know that a lot of scammers are really poor. They believe that all Westerners are rich and that scamming them does little harm. I've tried to convince scammers to get a more responsible job, but I haven't had any luck yet, as they have few employment opportunities. But I hope the conversations I have with them go some way in helping people understand the lives of people in poor countries and the things they have to do for cash.'

Read the following text about the paranormal and for questions 1 to 7 choose the correct answer.

A paranormal experience?

Ghosts, haunted houses, the spirit world and communication with the dead have fascinated humans since the beginning of their existence. Most people, whether believers or sceptics like myself, find paranormal experiences captivating; you could go on and on listening to these kinds of stories. But the debate lies on whether the allegedly paranormal events that witnesses claim to have experienced are real. I don't doubt that many people really believe that what they have experienced is a paranormal event -real is what you believe to be real, after all.

I myself experienced an event that might be considered paranormal by some. A long time ago, my cousin died unexpectedly, and her husband, a great ghost sceptic, couldn't find my cousin's life insurance policy. One night, my cousin appeared in my dreams. "You smell terrible," I told her. "Of course I smell bad. I'm dead," she said. "Anyway, I'm here to tell you where is the document that my husband is looking for." And she told me. The following day, I told my cousin's husband that I might know where the policy was -I didn't tell him how I knew because that would have prevented him from looking for it. We went to his home, and the document was precisely where my dead cousin had told me it would be. Paranormal?

No doubt it's very tempting to believe that I actually talked to my dead cousin and that I have some kind of psychic abilities. That would mean that when we die, we go somewhere in the form of a spirit, which is a nice thing to think because that means that our soul never dies. But maybe I already knew where that document was from one of my numerous visits to my cousin's home, and my mind just reminded me of where it was through one of my daily dreams. That's more likely, and it's what I am inclined to think happened.

The truth is that there has been so much fraud in the history of the paranormal that it's difficult to give any validity to the high number of paranormal claims that populate the Internet and the different media. Actually, fraud played a key role in the very foundation of spiritualism, a religious movement based on the belief that the spirits of the dead exist and have both the ability and the inclination to communicate with the living.

The first mediums known in recent history, the Fox sisters, convinced a good part of the American and European society of the 19th century that they could talk with the spirits. They made lots of public demonstrations held before paying audiences, which gave birth to spiritualism and attracted many imitators who also claimed to be able to communicate with spirits. But surprisingly, in 1888, Margaret Fox confessed that her abilities were just a fabrication and showed which tricks she had been using to pretend to be talking to the spirits.

Now, can I really talk with the dead? Well, if you put enough money on the table, I might say 'yes' and even show you how I do it.
