R. Kelly's Sex Tape Trial: Recap of Kelly's Child Pornography Case | Heavy.com

R Kelly, the 51-year-old R&B artist and producer, has recently come back under renewed fire after Lifetime aired a new six-part docu-series called Surviving R.

Kelly, which documents alleged abuse to several of Kelly's ex-girlfriends and romantic partners.

The series focuses heavily on Kelly's scandals, abuse accusations and child pornography charges over the years, and many of the women featured in the documentary highlight the abuse they claim to have endured at the hands of the R&B singer.

Kelly has faced numerous other allegations of being involved with underage girls throughout his long career, the biggest involving a sex tape scandal.

In 2002, a sex tape emerged showing Kelly engaging in sexual intercourse and urinating on an underage girl.

Shortly after the tape leaked, police raided his home in Davenport, Florida and found 12 images on a digital camera depicting Kelly "involved in sexual conduct with the female minor.".

Stephanie "Sparkle" Edwards, an a former backup singer for Kelly and the aunt of the unnamed underage girl in the sex tape, introduced Kelly to the alleged victim, a meeting that still "haunts" her, according to an emotional clip from the documentary.

"I should never have introduced her to him," she says in the clip, adding of the sex tape, "I'd hear things but to see it visually, and she was so young, it f–ked me up.".

Sparkle had introduced her niece to Kelly when she was 12-years-old, and the alleged sex tape was recorded two years later, when her niece was 14.

She said she began to fear that the relationship was getting out of control once she found out her niece was going to his home and studio alone. Once the tape surfaced in 2002, Sparkle didn't hesitate to go to the police and name both Kelly and her niece in the video.

Kelly DocumentarySparkle is one of many who spoke about their relationship with R.

Kelly in the Liftetime documentary "Surviving R.

Kelly.".

To this day, the young girl in the tape has not been identified publicly, although the girl's best friend from childhood, Simha Jamison, did testify against Kelly during his trial, who recognized her friend in the tapes and identified Kelly as the man in the video.

According to a 2008 article by CBS News, Jamison was put on the stand to testify. She said she and the alleged victim were best friends for about 10 years, until their junior year in high school, and that she recognizes her friend as the one in the tape.

When prosecutors asked Jamison if she recognized the man in the tape, she pointed to Kelly.

She told the jury that she and the victim visited Kelly several times at his recording studio and a basketball court when they were just 12-years-old.

According to CBS, the victim first introduced Jamison to Kelly as her "godfather," and claimed Kelly used to give her friend cash gifts of "no less than $100 and no more than $500.".

She said the two also visited the home where authorities say the sex tape was filmed between Jan.

1, 1998, and Nov. 1, 2000.

Jamison said her friend never mentioned a sexual relationship with the star, although Jamison still identified her as the young girl on the tape.

During the trial, the 27-minute long sex tape was played for the jurors.

The homemade video shows a man, believed to be Kelly, having sex with a young female, who is naked for most of the recording except for a necklace with a cross dangling from it, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

At the very beginning of the video, the man hands the young girl money, and she mouths the words "thank you." She then dances to songs from the Backstreet Boys and Spice Girls, before the two begin to have sex, with the girl calling the man "daddy," a name that Kelly has reportedly been having all of his girlfriends call him for decades.

Although the man in the video walks up to adjust the camera several times, his face is often obscured.

Kelly was facing 15 years if convicted on the child pornography charges.

Kelly's defense attorney Sam Adam Jr.

argued that the man in the video was not his client, and that somebody could have easily tampered with the tape to superimpose his head on another man's body.

He accused Jamison of colluding with somebody in the girl's family, claiming a family member wanted to extort money from Kelly, and also claims that the girl in the video must have been a "professional prostitute" because the man pays her immediately when the video starts.

Kelly was eventually found "not guilty" on all charges.

As the verdicts were being read on the final day of the trial, the singer started crying and whispering "Thank you Jesus, thank you Jesus, thank you Jesus," over and over again, according to his lawyers. Due to the fact that the victim in the video never pressed charges, identified herself, or testified in court, the case was left with a significant handicap.

Although Kelly was found not guilty of all charges in his child pornography trial, he has been accused by several young women of continuing to have sex with minors long after the charges were dropped.

Following its two-episode premiere Thursday night, the six-part Surviving R.

Kelly documentary resumes Saturday night with the final two episodes of the series – All the Missing Girls" and "Black Girls Matter." Check out the conclusion of the documentary tonight at 8 p.m.

Dominique Gardner & R. Kelly: Daughter Sobs After Being Reunited With Family | Heavy.com

Lifetime - Surviving R.

Kelly Dominique Gardner cried after her mother, Michelle Kramer, was finally able to locate her.

The emotional reunion took place on Friday's episode of "Surviving R.

Kelly.".

Dominique Gardner, the daughter of Michelle Kramer, a woman who was desperately trying to locate her daughter on a segment of the Lifetime documentary Surviving R.

Kelly, said Gardner cried when she was finally able to speak to her mother again.

Gardner was involved with R&B singer R.

Kelly for nine years, and her mother Kramer is one of dozens of people who came forward to discuss their relationships with Kelly and the impact he had on their lives throughout his long career in Lifetime's docu-series titled Surviving R.

Kelly.

In a clip from Friday's episode of Surviving R.

Kelly, Kramer and her husband claim that Kelly kept their daughter from seeing her family for years, and they were devastated.

In the clip below, an emotional Kramer tries desperately to find her daughter, Dominique Gardner, after she lost contact with her family following nine years of being involved with the R&B singer.

Kramer blames Kelly for keeping her family apart, saying that "any man that don't let a mother see they child, or a child see they mother and she's still living? He ain't got no heart.

An emotional Kramer can be seen frantically trying to locate Gardner, eventually tracking her down at a hotel and trying to bring her home.

She says that her daughter was with Kelly for nine years, lived with him for more than four, and inevitably went "missing" from her family, losing all contact with her parents for some time.

During Friday's episode, Michelle Kramer recounts how her daughter Dominique Gardner, then working as a dental assistant in Chicago, fell into Kelly's circle, with the singer eventually asking that she move to Atlanta.

"At this point, she was 21, 22.

What could I do? I had to make the hardest choice," Kramer said.

"All I could do is pray and hope that just one day she would wake up and come home.".

Kramer hadn't seen Gardner in over a year, and had finally had enough.

She decided to track down Gardner to try to convince her to come home.

In the TMZ video seen above, Gardner was spotted with another of Kelly's girlfriends Joycelyn Savage after TMZ posted the video following several articles questioning the welfare of the women in Kelly's alleged "sex cult.".

The TMZ video showed Savage and Gardner shopping in Beverly Hills.

Kramer descended on the Los Angeles district and located her daughter staying in a nearby hotel, and tried to reach out to her.

As Kramer is leaving the hotel, a hotel manager tells her her daughter is on the line at a front desk phone.

"She cried like a little girl just hurting for her mommy," Kramer said of the short reunion with her daughter on the phone.

"I said, 'Baby, can I come back please?' And she said, 'Yes momma, come back at 6.'".

The full Surviving R.

Kelly documentary covers Kelly's life, including his childhood, his rise to fame, and his sex scandals.

Several big names such as John Legend and Wendy Williams appear in the series, and dozens of women, including Kelly's ex-wife Andrea Lee (above) and former backup singer Stephanie "Sparkle" Edwards, are filmed talking about their relationship with Kelly over his career.

John Legend Condemns R. Kelly In New Docuseries | Heavy.com - Duration: 5:50.

John Legend Condemns R. Kelly In New Docuseries | Heavy.com

John Legend was the only musician who agreed to be interviewed for the documentary series Surviving R.

Kelly.

What drew Legend to the series, where fellow artists like Lady Gaga, Jay-Z, and Questlove declined, was that he wanted to take the necessary steps to condemn Kelly's actions.

"To everyone telling me how courageous I am for appearing in the doc, it didn't feel risky at all," he wrote on Twitter.

"I believe these women and don't give a f*ck about protecting a serial child rapist.

Easy decision.". John Legend Called R.

Kelly 'A Serial Child Rapist' On Twitter After Filming His Interview.

To everyone telling me how courageous I am for appearing in the doc, it didn't feel risky at all.

I believe these women and don't give a fuck about protecting a serial child rapist.

Easy decision.

— John Legend (@johnlegend) January 4, 2019 .

This is not the first time that Legend has spoken out against R.

Kelly. In April 2018, the singer shared his support of the #MuteRKelly movement when he retweeted an open letter that called on the music industry to cut ties with Kelly.

"I stand with the women of #timesup #muterkelly," he wrote.

Legend also singled out Dream Hampton, the executive producer of Surviving R.

Kelly, for her "necessary work" in bringing Kelly's sordid past to light.

"These survivors deserved to be lifted up and heard," he wrote in a separate tweet.

"I hope it gets them closer to some kind of justice.".

Legend Was the Only Musician to Appear In the Doc After Mary J.

Blige, Jay-Z , Erykah Badu & Countless Others Turned It Down.

Hampton has spoken at length about the difficult of getting musicians to appear in the series. "John Legend was the only one," Hampton told Shadow and Act. "I asked Jay-Z, I asked Mary J.

Blige, I asked Lil Kim, Erykah Badu, Dave Chappelle… But they all said no.

I mean, most people just don't want to touch it.

I remember Ahmir "Questlove" Thompson was like, 'I would do anything for you but I can't do this.'".

It's not because they support him, it's because it's so messy and muddy," Hampton explained.

"It's that turning away that has allowed this to go on. That makes John Legend even more of a hero for me.".

Executive Producer Dream Hampton Says That Legend Is a 'Hero' for Speaking Out.

Hampton also spoke about the responsibility that people like her and Legend have to the future generation.

Kelly is someone that we, my generation, should have dealt with a long time ago," she admitted.

"I remember when Ferguson was happening and this young protester tweeted out to me or someone from Generation X, and they were like, 'Why didn't y'all stop this?' I'm like, 'Yeah, that's not how it works.' It's not like there weren't attempts.".

"At one point in the film, someone asked, 'Where was the outrage [at the height of his fame, in the '90s]?' and that's just because a lot of this [outrage] was pre-digital, but it did exist," she added.

"We did push back in the moment, but we didn't organize to shut him down, so there was this feeling of responsibility.".

TIME Vocabulary & Phrases in English: recently, outdated, of late, nowadays... - Duration: 23:37.

I've been lonely, so lonely I could die.

Oh, sorry, that's Elvis.

E's crying because he's been very lonely lately.

He said very lonely lately.

Very lonely...

E, what do you mean: "You've been very lonely lately"?

Hi. James from engVid.

A lot of times we, in English, use time...

When I say time words, I'm not talking about: "when" or "while", or "after" and "before",

which indicate what is happening in time; if it's coming this way or that way.

But we have time words and time phrases, which is to give us more information than "before"

or "after" because they can be used more generally.

Example: I can say: "Before I did this video, I had dinner."

But if I say: "I recently had it", you know it's in memory; in the period of time in my

memory that's very close.

It's a little deeper, a little bit more knowledge or a little bit more information.

So, when we're looking here, I'm going to give you some phrases and some words that

do the same thing as "recently" does, which is more information than "before" or "after".

Cool?

Let's go to the board, and we'll find out why E is so lonely he could die.

[Laughs] Anyway.

Just as time flows, I'm going to start in the natural progression of time.

Past happens before, then the present is now, and the future.

And I'm going to try to give you a few words with each that you will find that native speakers

use on a regular basis to give you an idea or an impression about what kind of time they're

talking about.

And some of these things-and E gave me a really good one with "this Wednesday" and "next Wednesday"-are

so common that we use it that, you know, foreign speakers get confused, because they're like:

"What do you mean there's only one way to say?

Why be so specific?"

It's like: No, we're actually giving you more information.

So, let's go to the board and we'll start out with "old-fashioned".

This one's kind of easy, because we're talking about the past, here, because you know "old"

is before.

But you're going to say: "Old-fashioned, why?"

Well, when somebody says something is old-fashioned, they usually mean it's not in style anymore.

All right?

It's not modern.

So you can say: "This is an old-fashioned donut."

It doesn't mean it's bad.

It just means it's...

You know, it's from an older style or a generation prior to.

But when somebody says: "You have old-fashioned manners or old-fashioned language", they're

saying: "You know what?

People don't kind of use this anymore.

That's an old-fashioned idea."

Right?

It's kind of not being used, so we have that to the past.

It's usually associated with things in the past or things that are gone or should be

gone.

"Out-dated".

"That out-dated mode of thinking they use on a regular basis - PC talk (politically

correct talk)."

It means it's no longer used or no longer useful.

So, you might have this idea or you might have, I don't know.

My cellphone is like an S4 from Samsung.

I'm mentioning it for two reasons.

Samsung, I need a new cellphone; it's an S4.

And you people out there, please give me a new cellphone.

I'm joking.

I want Samsung to give me a cellphone.

Advertising for ya.

But my phone's basically out-dated.

It's so out-dated that they use it to...

Oh, I don't even have a good joke - it's that out-dated.

It's no longer used or useful.

Most new systems are at an S8 or what have you, so somethings I can't use.

I don't care.

I like my phone, to be honest.

Now, "out-dated" means it's just kind of, like, not being used; no longer used or useful.

Operative word or the word that's important is not...

"Not useful" means it's not as convenient as something that would be new.

The word you don't want to hear someone say to you is "obsolete".

All right?

If this is obsolete, it is no longer used.

Yes.

Old credit cards.

You know, you don't pay it?

It becomes obsolete; you can't use it no more.

Bad example.

Obsolete - dinosaurs.

Ever seen one?

Mm-mm - you don't.

Birds is as close as we got to them; they gone.

They're obsolete.

That technology or that biological technology is no longer used, people.

We are the new ones.

Being the...

So, now time to move to the present.

What present...?

Present day forms do we use to explain what's going on in the present?

A lot of you guys will know: "now" or "present", because these are the two words you've been

taught.

Have you ever been confused when someone says to you: "Nowadays, the kids wear their jeans

down by their butts"?

You're like: "What?

What do you mean, 'nowadays'?

You mean today?"

Like: "No.

Nowadays."

It means at the present and it is different from the past.

When anyone says to you: "nowadays", they're literally saying the days today are different

than the days before.

Right?

You know.

"I know it's old-fashioned that a man should pull up his pants and wear a belt.

Right?

Should pull the pants up.

Nowadays, the children have the pants down their ass."

You know, it's like: What?

It's like: "Well, today is different than the past.

Nowadays".

And it's not a day; it's a period of time.

So they're saying in recent memory from, you know, two, three, four years, or two...

Yeah, two, three, four years, or two/three months.

But usually it's a longer period of time in the present and it's not one point; it's a

bubble you could say.

All right?

So, bridges the past and the present; saying there's a difference between the past and

the present and it goes over a period of time.

"Lately".

Haven't seen you around here lately.

E, where you been lately?

And this is the one he used here.

And this one means not long ago.

I haven't seen E lately.

It means maybe in the last hour or two.

With "nowadays" we're talking maybe a year or two, maybe even at 10 years; "lately" means

recently.

Right?

Not too long ago.

You know?

I haven't...

I haven't had a Starbucks lately.

That could in a week or two or a month.

You're not talking years.

All right?

So, watch these.

You can use these for different things, so you have a greater expression of present time

and more of a recent expression of present time.

Now, here's one of my favourite: Notice how these are "lately" and "latest"?

Seems similar; very different.

"Latest" means most recent.

It means the newest thing.

The latest Apple computer can make coffee for you.

The latest Apple computer; not the lately one.

The latest.

It means newest.

It's like a superlative.

Right?

"Newest", "most", "best", "biggest", "latest".

It is the newest thing out there.

So, when talking the present, we can say: "The latest thing.

Have you heard the latest news?"

It means the newest news.

"Lately the news hasn't been very good" - in recent memory.

"The news nowadays", it means maybe this year or the last four years.

Very different periods of time.

So, we go from now, a bit more than now, to longer periods and we're still talking about

now.

Cool.

Now you've expanded your vocabulary, let's move to the future.

Now, the future has a couple of constructions that are really difficult, and I understand

it's difficult for students to get because when we learn these phrases, it's just part

of something we watch and see; we don't think too much about it.

And the constructions of the sentences make it actually hard for people to get.

So, I'm going to start with a point here.

These two here and then go up to this one.

Bear with me and I'll get there for you.

Okay.

So, when you have one and two...

Okay?

Number two is next to one, so it's the next one.

When we say: "The next day", we mean not day number one, but day number two.

So it's one extra day.

"I'll do it the next day or the day...

Next..."

Sorry.

I'll do it the next day.

"A week from now" is similar to that.

Now, I know you know "now", so let's take this one and write "now".

Okay?

Now, when we do: "a week from now", that's going to be one week is here, so the difference

is one week from whenever that period of time is.

"Now" is...

Let's say today is Friday.

Now it's Friday.

So, one week from now will be next Friday; a one-week difference.

One plus.

Cool?

So, in this case, when we talk about these two: "a week from now", we're talking about

adding one week to the day we're talking about.

When we say: "the next day" we mean literally the next day, and we can follow the one, two

example.

Not today; that day here.

From here, this day is Friday - one week from now will be the next Friday.

We're good with that?

Good, because now is when it gets complicated.

Well, actually, not really.

We're going to start with this one.

Actually let's start with this one to make it easy.

We'll start with "tomorrow".

Okay?

So let's go back up here.

And you know what "tomorrow" means, right?

It's not today, but tomorrow.

So when you have "tomorrow"...

I'm going to write "tom." for short for "tomorrow".

This one says: "The day after tomorrow".

Well, here's today.

Okay?

And remember we talked about this is one and this is two?

This is tomorrow.

What would be after tomorrow?

Three.

All right?

And this is after tomorrow, so we're going to hear "after".

So, the day after tomorrow is really two days from now.

Today...

Not today, but tomorrow.

And after tomorrow is the third day, which means two days from now.

English people usually say that.

They'll go: "You know, the day after tomorrow we'll do it."

Two days from now.

Now you understand that, we're going to go to the next one which seems even harder: "The

week after next".

It's the exact same thing, except we're talking about weeks as opposed to days.

Let's go back to the board.

Okay?

So, we're going to say: "after".

Okay?

So we're talking about a week, which was number one.

Right?

After that would be two, and then we have this funny word: "next", which would be three.

Well, we know three minus one equals what?

Two.

So, not this week; it's after that by a week, and then it's next.

So we're talking about two weeks from now.

And you're going to go: "James, hold on a second.

That's exactly the same as 'the day after tomorrow'."

Like, yeah, except: "The day after tomorrow" is talking about days; "the week after next"

is talking about weeks.

A longer time period, but the concept or idea is the same.

There is a difference...

There is a difference of two.

Why we use it - I don't know, because it's just as easy to say: "two weeks from now",

"two days from now".

But it's not why we use it that's important.

What's important is that you understand it when someone sends you a business note or

an invitation.

You know: "The party will be the week after next", you have to know what it means.

And right now I think you do.

So we've done these ones, and that's why we started here and worked backwards.

And now we're going to go to the easy one: "two weeks from now."

Hmm.

What is "two weeks from now"?

Well, if you got these, this is kind of evident.

Right?

From this point in time, two weeks from now.

What I wanted to explain about all of these things that they all have in common is it's

a period of time from this day.

Okay?

So, really, it's a period of time, so we're illustrating a period of time without saying...

Getting exact about it by saying, you know: "The week after next".

It's a period of time; it's 14 days.

But no one is going to say: "14 days".

They say that with the understanding that you know what it is.

And this is two days, and they understand that you know that's what it is.

But it's not even that it's a period of time; it's a period of time in the future - not

happening now.

Cool?

All right.

Now, here's a fun one: "this Wednesday".

What the hell does that mean?

"This Wednesday.

That Wednesday.

When Wednesday?"

Well, when we say: "this Wednesday" or we say: "this Thursday", or we say: "this Monday",

what it usually means is this day has not happened in the week.

Generally you're not going to hear this Monday.

You go: "Why?"

I'm like, well, the week we use...

Okay.

The week starts on Sunday, but in North America and many English-speaking countries, the week

starts on a Monday.

So people won't say: "This Monday" because they're already in the day, but they would

say on a Monday: "This Tuesday".

I'm confused.

And I would say: "Is it Monday?" and you'd go: "Yeah."

I go: -"Has Tuesday happened yet?"

-"No."

And that's what they mean: "This Tuesday" meaning the Tuesday in this week.

So, anytime you hear an English speaker saying: "This Monday.

This Saturday.

This Friday", remember this is in the future.

It means: In this week it has not happened and that's the one we're talking about.

We're good?

A day in the week that has not happened.

And you go: "Okay, okay, I got that."

And I go: "Good.

I'm glad you got it, because now I'm going to throw a monkey wrench at you at talk about

next Wednesday."

And you're like: "What?

Next Wednesday - well, that must be this week as well."

Nope.

Not at all.

"Next Wednesday" means whatever week we're in, it's the following week.

Do you remember we were talking about, here: "The next blah-blah-blah"?

That's what this means.

When we talked about this Wednesday...

This week or this Wednesday, the example-right?-we're saying: "Here's the week - Monday to Sunday."

Okay?

Sorry, in university we use "A" for Sunday, so forgive me.

When we said this, it means: In this week, like this Monday or this Tuesday...

"This Tuesday" it means the week has...

We're here on Monday; Tuesday hasn't happened yet.

That's what that means.

So we're waiting til this day, here.

When we say: "next"...

"Next Monday" or "next Tuesday".

Yeah.

See?

We can say: "Next Monday".

It means we're standing right here.

Right here.

We're standing here and we're looking into the future for the next one.

So it doesn't mean, if we're here on Tuesday, we say: "next Tuesday", we mean the next Tuesday

that's coming.

You go: "What?"

I'm like: "Yeah."

Even if this is Wednesday, we're not referring back in time; we're referring to the future.

Just like we did here, we're going to go to the future to the very next Tuesday.

So, today...

For instance, today is Friday, so if I said: "E, I'll see you next Friday", he wouldn't

go: "But we're here, James."

I go: "You know what I'm talking about."

Look to the future - the following seven days, we'll meet up again.

Cool?

Yeah.

A little confused?

You should be.

Right now you shouldn't be because I've explained it.

You can always rewind and watch again.

But these are important because these happen time and again in the English language, and

I've watched very smart students, very intelligent people get confused by it because they're

like: "Well, you have 'days after' and 'next', and 'week', and you put them all in the same

sentence."

I'm like: "Yeah, and you have to learn it, and it's my job to help you."

So, we've done the past - given you some old ones that you...

You'll refer back to the past when you hear people say it.

When you hear "out-dated", what does that mean?

It's no longer useful.

Then we talk about "nowadays", and they don't mean now even though you hear "now".

It means in the present in a recent period of time.

"Latest" means the newest.

Then you hear, like...

You hear: "The week after next."

You know: "Oh, that's two weeks."

Then you hear: "The day after tomorrow", and that's two days.

Right?

And when you hear this...

And this is, you know...

We would say: "this", like: "This is close and that.

And there."

You know, "this" and "that" are talking about distance.

This is this week; it's happening right now.

Okay?

While, "next" is the following week.

Cool?

Got it down, basically?

Good.

We're going to go do our quiz, as you know.

I'm going to give you a little bit more information on time phrases or throw one more at you at

least, and we'll do a little homework.

Ready?

[Snaps]

Okay, so it is time for us to do one more time.

I've got a couple more things I want to give you about time, and hopefully your head is

not going around and around from the last one.

But first one is: "of late", "of late".

"I haven't seen him of late" - it means recently and it means a period of time around now.

So, if this is now, "of late" is like a planet going around here.

Not too far here, not to far there.

All right?

"I haven't had a cigarette of late" - in the last 5-10 minutes or two hours.

"These days".

This is interesting because "these days" means in the present; not the past.

"These days it's hard to get a house because they're too expensive", which is different,

of course, than the past where it was probably easier to get a house.

So when someone says: "these days" to you, they're meaning the difference between the

present and the past.

Contradic-...

It's, like, contradiction or they're opposite in some way.

So: "These days it's easier to get around the world; everyone can fly.

In contrast, 100 years ago you were on a boat - it was difficult to get around."

You know?

Or: "These days it's easy to communicate with people I know by way of cellphone."

It's true, because in the old days, we had the...

We would call it the rotary phone.

Oh, you don't know about that.

Okay.

You know Fred Flintstone?

Maybe not?

Prehistoric times.

Think before when man walked - we used to have to go into the kitchen, usually the kitchen,

there would be a phone on the wall.

I know you're going: "Teacher, not in my pocket?"

No.

Not in your pocket.

On the wall, and we'd walk up and there'd be little holes in a round disk, and you go...

And if you made one mistake, you had to start again.

[Laughs] Sorry.

It's true.

I wish I was joking.

You'd be like: "Damn it!"

Start again.

So, yeah.

Yeah, and you couldn't leave the kitchen because the cord...

You probably don't know what a cord is either.

The thing that held the phone, you could only walk so far and then you'd get yanked back.

So, you couldn't go too far.

Ah, yeah, these days everything has changed.

Anyway, we've done that one, so: "these days" and "of late".

Let us do our quick, little quiz.

I got a little quiz for ya.

Of course.

I have got four sentences, and four time words or time phrases.

Which one belongs where?

Let's figure it out, shall we?

"Nobody uses a slide rule anymore.

That technology is __________."

Now, I know the first thing you're going to say is: "What is a slide rule?"

And I'm going to tell you what a slide rule is.

I don't know because I've never seen one.

You guys use calculators today.

Right?

So, what is a slide rule?

Hmm.

"That technology is" - yeah, "obsolete".

It is not used by anyone anymore.

Nobody uses a slide rule, unless you go to maybe Oxford in the 1960s.

All right?

So: "obsolete".

Now, what about this one?

"__________, kids like to wear their pants really low, and have a lot of tattoos."

What would that be?

Well, we're talking about the kids today.

Right?

And we're talking about the kids now, so we would say: "Now...

Nowaday".

Ah, I just noticed something.

Sorry.

Forgive me.

Nowadays I make some mistakes; not like the old days.

And I got to put a period, here.

And while I'm at it, let me just check...

Ah.

You hadn't heard the news - James forgot the question mark.

Anyway: "Nowadays, kids like to wear their pants really low, and have a lot of tattoos."

That means today.

Right?

How about we do this one, C?

"Did you hear the _________ news?"

What would that one be?

Well, there's only two left, and I would say, judging from the lines, this one would have

to be "latest".

You're like: "Oh, James, you're so smart.

You made the other one too long.

We know the answer."

Yeah, yeah, yeah, you know the answer is this one.

And if you have to wait for me to put the answer down - please, stop...

Start the video again and pretend this never happened.

Okay?

Because there's only one left.

And you're like: "Oh, wait.

Give me time.

I'm so confused.

This is difficult.

I mean, I don't know which one I haven't written down yet."

There we go: "two weeks from now", yes.

Okay?

And that was the difficult one we did before.

Right?

We talked about, you know, time period - a time period from this period, so it's two

weeks from whenever we're speaking.

Right?

Two weeks from Friday.

So, anyway, that's the quiz.

You did well, especially you people who were able to look at the line difference and get

the answer - very smart.

I don't know if your English is good, but you are smart.

Okay.

So, as always, homework.

I want you to write six sentences using two of the time phrases.

Now, I gave you two for the past, two for the present, two for the future, so pick two

and just write out some sentences, and mix and match them.

See how well you understand them.

And then, you know, go to...

I've told you before: Go make comments, because I have noticed a lot of people when someone

actually does the homework - a lot of people make comments and you make friends.

It's really cool.

I've watched people say: "I'm from Algeria, and I saw yours, and here's a mistake.

And let me help you."

I'm like: "Really?"

No, really, it does happen.

But yeah, do your homework, see how well you do.

You can do...

After the quiz, make a comment; people will really love to help you there.

Or even after this video, and get your sentences done.

I'm trying to think of what else I have to do.

Oh, I have to say thank you.

Thank you, once again, it's always a pleasure having you watch the videos and tell us...

Or let me know what you want to have on the next video.

And get to subscribe.

Why?

Because when you subscribe, I get the ability to give you the latest and greatest thing

we've done.

See?

"Latest".

Press the link - you'll see a button around here somewhere or, you know, swipe - whatever

you got to do.

Don't forget to hit the bell because the bell is when you get the latest video that we have

out.

Okay?

Great.

Anyway, go to www.eng as in English, vid as in video to do the quiz - the big quiz and

really test yourself; see how good you are.

Got to go, but I know I'll see you around.

Right?

These days...
