common words that we use in business
English. And do you know what that word00:00:09
is? The word "work". Now, you're asking
me: "The word 'work'? I know how to use00:00:17
the word 'work'." Sure. Of course. You
know the meaning and you know what it is00:00:21
"to work". So, the only question is: Are
you using it in the right way? That00:00:28
means: Are you using the right
preposition after the word "work"? All00:00:34
right? Because we actually have so many
different prepositions that we can use00:00:41
with this very common, everyday word.
Okay? So, here, we're going to look at00:00:47
some of those. And it's really important
— those little words, as you know —00:00:53
those prepositions. Right. So, today
on... in this lesson, we're going to00:00:57
look at the prepositions with "work".
Now, separately, I have an entire00:01:03
course, called: "Correct Your English
Errors in Ten Minutes a Day", where we00:01:07
take items like this, and we correct
every day, something — like grammar,00:01:12
like vocabulary, pronunciation,
expressions, something. Little00:01:17
corrections, and these small changes can
make a gigantic difference to the level00:01:22
of your English and the quality of your
English. Okay? So, if you're interested,00:01:26
check out the link to that course. All
right? But now, let's figure out if00:01:32
you're using the word "work" correctly.00:01:35
All right. So, this is how we're going
to do it. So, let's pretend that each of00:01:40
these is a sentence and it starts with
either: "He works" or "She works", and00:01:46
then something. For example: "He works
_______ the finance department." So,00:01:55
what preposition would you use there?
Now, you could do this in two ways. I'm00:02:01
standing to the side. If you like, you
can pause the video, go through them,00:02:09
put down... maybe if you have a piece of
paper or something, put down what you00:02:13
think the answers are. And then you can
check them with me as we go along. Or00:02:18
you can do it together with me. Okay?
So, I'm going to begin now. So: "He00:02:24
works _______ the finance department."
Which preposition do we use there? "He00:02:33
works in the... the finance department."
Okay? You work "in a department", you00:02:44
work "in a division", you work "in a
branch". Later, I'll be showing you what00:02:51
some of these prepositions refer to.
Okay? But for now, let's go through the00:02:55
quiz and see where you are. Okay?00:02:58
Number two: "She works _______ a
customer service agent." What's that?00:03:07
This word can be used as a preposition.
Not often, but it can be used as a00:03:14
preposition. "She works as". Okay? So,
when you describe what your position is,00:03:25
you can say: "I work as an IT manager",
"I work as a customer service agent",00:03:32
and so on. Okay? That means: That is my
role; that is my position. All right?00:03:38
Great. Number three: "He works _______
8:00 am to 4:00 pm. He works _______00:03:48
8:00 to 4:00. He works from... from 8:00
to 4:00." Okay? All right. Good. Number00:04:05
four: "She works _______ a laptop." So,
what do we use there? "She works on a00:04:19
laptop." Okay? Very good. How are you
doing so far? Are you getting them?00:04:25
Good. Good. Excellent. I can see you.
All right. Number five: "She works00:04:32
_______ home." Nowadays, many people are
doing this; they're not working in the00:04:39
office. They're working, what is it?
"from home". Okay? "She's working from00:04:50
home." Now, you could say: "She works at
home." It's possible; it has a slightly00:04:56
different meaning. But: "She works from
home" means that the job that she's00:05:01
doing, either for a company, might be
being done right now from her home, or00:05:08
she works from home for herself. Okay?
It doesn't mean that you have to work00:05:12
for someone else, but that you're
working from that location. All right?00:05:18
Number six: "He works _______ Tuesdays
and Thursdays." So, what do we say00:05:28
there? "He works on Tuesdays and
Thursdays." Now, you might be wondering:00:05:41
"Why does she have an 's' there? Why
can't we just say 'on Tuesday and00:05:45
Thursday'?" You could say that; that's
fine, too. But if someone says: "She00:05:51
works on", "He works on Tuesdays and
Thursdays" — that means every Tuesday00:05:57
and every Thursday. Okay? That's all it
means. Or, let's say, if we say: "We00:06:01
have classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays"
— that means every Tuesday and every00:06:07
Thursday. And just like if we said one
day or one day, we have to say "on": "on00:06:14
Tuesday", "on Thursday". Okay? Good.
Number seven: "She works _______ ABC00:06:23
Company." There are a couple of
possibilities, here. Let's see if you00:06:30
get one of them. "She works for" — you
could say; that means: "Who do you work00:06:39
for?" Right? "Who is your employer?" So,
then you could say: "She works for ABC00:06:43
Company." Sometimes people say: "She
works at ABC Company." And sometimes00:06:50
they might even say: "She works in ABC
Company." All right? But, really: "She00:06:55
works for" that person, that employer;
or "She works at" that company. All00:07:00
right? Number eight: "He works _______
the 5th floor." Which floor? The 5th00:07:11
floor. So: "He works", which preposition
is it? "He works on the 5th floor."00:07:21
Okay? So, those were just eight. There
are many other possibilities that we're00:07:25
going to be looking at. How did you do
on those? Did you get them right? Did00:07:30
you get any wrong? Let's see, now, why
these are like this, and what are the00:07:36
kind of categories? What do they refer
to? When do we usually use: "from"? When00:07:40
do we usually use "for"? And things like
that. Okay? We're going to see that in00:07:45
one second.00:07:46
So, here, we have some of the many
possibilities of which prepositions to00:07:52
use with the word "work". So, let's go
through them. Okay? Don't worry; it's00:07:57
not too much. Just trying to understand
why certain prepositions are being used00:08:02
as much as possible. Okay? All right.
So, "at": "He works at the airport."00:08:09
"at" is kind of very specific; specific
place. "at the airport", "at a bank".00:08:15
Okay? Or: "at my desk". "I work at my
desk." All right? That's, what? Very00:08:23
kind of specific place. Here, by the
way, you could also say: "He works at00:08:29
the corner of..." — okay? — "of Main
Street and Jane Street". All right? You00:08:36
could say that. All right? So, that's
when we use "at". Next, "for". We can00:08:42
use "for" a few different ways; you can
use "for", again, as I mentioned00:08:46
earlier, to describe: Who is your
employer? So, let's say: "He works for00:08:52
Microsoft", or "He works for Mr.
Johnson." All right? So, we could use it00:08:58
in that way. You could also use it to
talk about the length of time that00:09:04
someone works. For example: "He works
for 8 hours a day." All right? Got it?00:09:12
Good.00:09:13
Let's move on. Then, who do you work
with? All right? Who are the people, or00:09:18
the... the teams that you work with? "He
works with Susan", or "She works with00:09:24
the IT department." All right? So,
that's who you work "with"; that's who00:09:31
you work "for"; and this is where you
work "at". All right? Let's go on. "She00:09:39
works in a factory." Okay. "in a
factory". "She works in a... in a00:09:44
building", "She works in an office." We
also use it... So, we could talk about00:09:50
the specific place, like: "in a
factory", "in a store". Or we could say00:09:57
the... a city or a country. "She works
in London", "She works in England." All00:10:03
right? Next, if we're talking about "on"
— we mentioned before. Right? — "He00:10:11
works on a laptop", or "He's working on
a project." Usually, there, we'll say00:10:18
not "works", but "working". But the same
verb. Right? "Right now I'm working on a00:10:23
specific project", "I'm working on a
special project." Not: "in a project" —00:10:28
"on a project". Okay? That's that one.
Next: "He works on the 18th floor." All00:10:37
right? There we go — "on" a certain
floor of a building. All right. Next,00:10:44
"as". Again, we talked about, here, we
use "as", plus the type of role that you00:10:49
have. For example: "He works as a
manager." Okay? Or: "works as a waiter".00:10:57
"She works as a salesperson." Okay?00:11:00
So, that's one way in which you could
describe yourself — try to talk about00:11:06
this. When you're... whenever you're
looking at any of these, whether it's:00:11:11
"as", or "for", or "with" — the main
thing you could do at the very end is to00:11:15
write about yourself, and use the
appropriate prepositions to write about00:11:21
yourself, to talk about yourself. Say
some sentences to tell about yourself.00:11:26
Talk about some other people in your
family: "Who do they work for? Who do00:11:30
they work with?" and so on. All right?
And, that way, it becomes more relevant,00:11:35
and it's much easier for you to remember
it. Next, you could say that someone00:11:40
works from a certain time to a certain
time — okay? — "from 9:00 to 5:00",00:11:47
usually, we say, or "from Monday to
Friday". Or, as we had said before:00:11:56
"works from home." Okay? "He works from
home", or "He works from the New York00:12:03
office." That's possible. All right? So,
this is the place you work from, or the00:12:10
times you work from. Got it? All right.
Then, until what time? Okay? If "from"00:12:19
is usually going to start with the time
you start working; "until" — talks about00:12:24
the ending time. So: "He starts at 9:00,
but he works until 5:00", or "until00:12:34
midnight". You could say: "until" or
"till" — it's the same thing. And00:12:40
another one, which you sometimes hear:
"He works during the week", or "He works00:12:45
during the day." All right?00:12:48
So, we see here some... like, these are
just nine of the prepositions. You might00:12:53
actually see a few more, but these are
the most common ones to use with the00:12:57
word "work", which I'm sure you use very
often. So, try to learn these well. And00:13:04
as I said, make some relevant sentences
of your own to make it real for you.00:13:08
Okay? And, again, these are just some of
the very common small mistakes that00:13:14
could... could lower your English. So,

English, also check out my English
