Let's see Sara mo says, teacher. What's the difference between heist and robbery? Well, let's take a look. East and robbery. All right. So you could say a bank heist and bank robbery.

And you know what? If you if you told someone that you're planning a bank heist if you said I am planning a bank heist, they would understand that you are saying the exact same thing as I am planning a bank robbery. So you're gonna go into the bank and steal the money. So they're the same, they mean the same thing heist and robbery. I think in my opinion, the word robbery is more common. It's more common than the word heist, but heist is still used.

Like if you see it. In the newspaper, sometimes they might say, oh, on Tuesday at 10 o'clock in the evening or 10 o'clock in the morning, there was a bank heist, the robbers got away with $3 million in cash. Something like that. Right? same same meeting. Let's see Connie promises steal.

Yes, right to steal. And usually there is some sort of force, right, whether they use guns or whether they use maybe knives or machetes, but they force the people to give them the money. Right. Okay. All right. So let's see.

Let's continue in the conversation, and will flow from this last part. Here we go. Why did you start to eat candy while the guards were chasing us? I was scared. I froze. The Candy was delicious.

Okay, let's move on in the conversation. We'll repeat this part because you stopped to eat candy. My escape was a bed of roses.

The Candy was delicious. Aha, okay. Ah, the candy. Oh. Okay, so let's see other ways to say the candy was delicious. So this is the word that we'll be focusing on, but I'll do the full sentence.

Can you guys come up with other ways to say the word delicious? Right? Because I'm gonna give you 123450 Here we go. Tasty. Ah rah had wonderful. That's my first one.

The Candy was so tasty, right? Ah not watering. Yes, yes. Very good. That's a wonderful one to think of. You're looking at the canyon like, oh.

Oh, I wanted so bad. I don't care if the guards are gonna catch me. I will eat the candy. The Candy was scrumptious. scrumptious. It will practice pronunciation in a moment.

All right. Here's one that may be a kid would say. Or anyone. I suppose the candy was yummy. Um, the candy was yummy. All right, the candy was delectable.

Ooh, I don't see delectable used a lot. But it's another way to say delicious. So, and this is another way that just really express expresses how we feel about the candy. The Candy was awesome. If you have awesome, you could put everything right. amazing, incredible, extraordinary.

Wonderful. Ah, so awesome that I could not stop eating it. Okay, so let's see. Repeat after me. Let's do some pronunciation. The Candy was delicious.

The Candy was so tasty. The Candy was smoking. bumptious the candy was yummy. The Candy was delectable. And the candy was awesome. It was wonderful.

It tasted so nice. So sweet. Okay, even though I was going to the big house after the guards caught me, I was happy because the candy Oh, so let's talk about this picture here. I would say this is candy probably from a candy store. And we have these tools right here. They're called tongs I believe, to pick up the candy.

So we have all different colors right and probably different flavors. Some are sour, probably sweet. Probably delicious. Probably very, very, very, very unhealthy. But they look nice. They taste nice.

Okay. Uh huh. Well omega says, extraordinary, right? The Candy was extraordinary. Alright, so here we go. Let's move forward in the conversation.

The Candy was delicious. What happened after the guards caught you? Uh huh. What happened after the guards caught you? Hmm. So let's see other ways to say the part of the question after the guards caught you.

So the full question is what happened after the guards caught you? And I'm going to give you other ways to say this part of the answer. Okay. What happened after that? See after the guards grabbed you right after they grabbed you. It made you stop eating the candy.

Haha after the guard arrested you Oh, I think that's in my list. Nice. Well done rockhead Let's see after the security sees you and sees is like, they grabbed you and you're stuck. Right? They seized you after the guards tackled you. Ah, right.

I see Casey nice Manuel says arrest right Oh, that's the next one on my list. Very well done. So caught you. If we say tackled tackle this like in American football when someone's running with the ball, and everyone else grabs him and knocks them to the ground. So maybe the guy was eating the candy and he didn't want to stop eating the candy. And so the guards just jumped on top of them and they tackled him.

Right. All right. And here's the one that you guys said. Well done after they arrested you, right? And when we talk about they it's going to be the guards security or maybe even the police when the police came. Okay and after another one is after they detained you, right?

Detained is similar to arrested, arrested is more official, because there will be a lot of paperwork and there's probably a good reason to bring you to jail. detained could be that they just want to talk with you for a while, and maybe have official questions about something. However, in this situation, when the guy was stealing all the candy, they probably had a really good reason to detain him. All right, repeat. Please, tackled. Okay, let's see.

All right, let's do that word. And make it there we go, everyone say tackled, tackled, right and inside is the verb to tackle. To tackle is to jump on top of someone and to knock them down and get them down on the ground so you can catch them and then they can't move. Alright. Let's see. What if Graham says arrested and charged you, right?

So charged you is the next step, right? If you go to court, and they formally they bring you to in front of the judge, which is sometimes called the arraignment, and they formally charged you with the crime. In other words, they say, okay, they go to the judge, and they say, we have this witness, we have this information and we saw this happen, and we arrested him, and we think we're you should charge him with robbery or theft or stealing something like that. All right. So let's do pronunciation. Okay.

All right, here we go. Repeat after me. After the guards caught you after the guards grabbed you after the security seized you after the guards tackled you after they arrested you after they detained you all right and I see lately oh wait it says detained repeat here we go so detained in the word the verb in there is to detain. It's similar to arrest a little bit different but very similar. So after they detained you very rockhead says a fine you might have to pay a fine but If you if you do a robbery or a heist, remember, we learned the word heist. If you do a robbery or a heist, you probably might get a fine.

You might have to pay for things that you damage. But since it was like a violent crime, you're probably gonna have to go to jail. It's very serious, right? Even if it's candy, I guess. Okay. All right.

So these are other ways to say, to finish the question after the guards caught you. Alright, so let's, oh, in in the picture here. We have a guy. He's wearing handcuffs in his hands or behind his back. handcuffs are around his wrists, and they put them around the wrists because if they put them tight enough, you can't pull your hand out right, so you're stuck. If they don't put them tight enough, then people can slip their hands out.

I had it before. Maybe Did you guys know I used to be a police officer A long time ago. I remember there are some people who have such small wrist, such small wrist, that you put the handcuffs on them, and the handcuffs go all the way shut. And it's still not tight enough so the people can pull out right so they can get out of the metal handcuffs. And there's a simple solution. The simple solution is just to use plastic handcuffs.

Plastic handcuffs are kind of like zip ties, the plastic ties where you put them together and it goes, and then you can get it really tight. Okay. All right. So, let's see. Let's move forward in the conversation, right. What happened after the guard caught you?

Okay, I know I should stay focused and not dance, but ah, I need to dance. Okay. All right. So we're going to get to the question in a moment. And we're going to answer the question. And I'm going to give you different ways to answer some serious, some not so serious.

But first, we're going to go back through, and we're going to watch the conversation again. And then we're going to review. I'll stop it very quickly. And I'll give you other ways to say what they're saying in the conversation. And then we'll get to the question and we'll answer the question at the end. Okay, so here we go.

Let's see. Let me find my place. There we go. robbing the candy factory was a bed of roses. Oh, I noticed I'm still wearing my glasses. Ah, the quiz hasn't started yet.

Okay, sorry. I will stay serious. Let's start again. Think the candy factory was a bed of roses. Okay, she could have said, Robin the candy factory. It was so easy for having the candy factory was trouble free and effortless.

Though we talked about other ways to say it was a bed of roses of roses. What I was caught and put in jail for two years. I was put in jail. I was put in prison. I was put in the big house. They locked me up.

Oh, well, for me. It was a bed of roses. It was trouble free for you because you escaped. It was trouble free for you because you got away. You weren't caught. You made it out.

Why did you start to eat candy? Wow, the gorge Why did you stop the candy while they were pursuing us while they were running after us? It was not a good idea. I was scared. I froze. The Candy was delicious.

I was scared. I was unable to move. I was paralyzed with fear. I was so overwhelmed. But the candy was good. Because you stopped to eat candy.

My escape was a bed of roses. Ah, thank you for eating the candy because my escape was effortless. It was easy. It was hassle free. The Candy was delicious. The Candy was so tasty.

It was yummy. It was mouth watering. I think you had said, right. Okay. What happened after the guards caught you? What happened after the guards seized you after they arrested you detained you?

Right. Okay, so it's time we're going to answer the question and let's listen to it one more time. What happened after the guards caught you? Okay, off stop dancing. Okay, so the question is what happened after the guards caught you? In other words, we're going to do it real short.

She's asking what happened next after the guards caught you. What was the next thing that happened? So here are a couple of possibilities. If you guys have been a couple possibilities to answer this question, put it in the comments. Let's see a couple things. Laila Amita says I would answer because for me it was not a bed of roses.

All right. Let's see because I didn't stop eating candy. Right. Okay, so what happened next after the guards caught you? Right? They told me to shut up and brought me to jail.

Huh? We could also say they in tear interrogated me for five hours and wanted to know about my childhood. Hmm, let's see what we have. Let's have her ask the question and we'll answer to the cars car. ago. What happened after the guards caught you?

They told me to shut up and brought me to jail. The Candy was delicious. What happened after the caught you. They interrogated me for five hours in wanting to know about my childhood. Okay. All right.

Let's see in the comments in it. We have Leila Mita. He has put in jail for two years. That's right. I see raga they put me in the car violently. They grabbed me and they threw me in the car.

Kashi not mine doll says beat a beat black and blue. Right? They beat me black and blue. But I still had some candy in my mouth. So it was okay. Okay, all right.

So let's see. Let's talk about some other ways. All right, let's see where are we? The primary space. Okay, so these are other ways to say you know, what, how to answer the question What happened next? What we have even more Okay, let's see.

So what happened after the guards caught you what happened next? They slapped say slapped me around for for a while and forced me to watch them eat candy. Oh, they slapped me around for a while and forced me to watch them eat candy. Hmm, let's see. Let's see it in context. What happened after the guards caught you?

They slapped me around for a while and forced me to watch them eat candy. So I guess it's torture because they knew how much I loved candy. So they ate candy in front of me. Huh? Okay, so what happened next? They made me eat so much candy that I threw up 10 times.

Hmm. All right. Let's see it in the conversation. What happened after the guard caught you? They made me eat so much candy that I threw up 10 times. Right?

So much candy. So unhealthy. Alright, so threw up. Right Robert is smiling and then he says that's awful. Right? Can anyone think of another word that means throw up?

Hmm. And I'll give you a hint. It starts with v. To throw up is another way to V Okay, there's V and four more letters. Can anybody tell me what is another way to say to throw up? words? We have a verb, right?

We need another verb that means the same thing as to throw up. Ah, Raka it says vomit. Right. vomit. Right. So we could say they made me eat so much candy, that I vomited.

I vomited 10 times. So we'll say vomited, because we have to put it in the past tense, because he's talking. He's talking to her from jail and telling her you know what happened? So I vomited 10 times. So let's just say in these answers, things were not going very well for this guy. If they say slap me around, that's like they beat me up the And then they forced me.

They tortured me by forcing me to watch him eat candy. Right. Okay. So we're going to watch the conversation all the way through one more time. And then it will be time for the quiz. Okay, here we go.

And I warn you, I will probably dance When the music comes at the end. Okay, here we go. After this, we'll do the quiz. robbing the candy factory was a bed of roses. What? I was caught and put in jail for two years.

Oh, well, for me. It was a bed of roses. It was trouble free for you because you escaped. Why did you start to eat candy while the guards were chasing us? I was scared. I rose that candy was delicious because you stopped to eat candy.
