English Speaking Course Lesson 20 by Structures

Welcome back to our English Speaking Course Lesson 20 by Structures. In this Lesson, we are going to learn 3 Basic English Speaking Structures. The first structure is ”I can’t stand + noun /v – ing”, the second structure is ”It goes without saying + clause” and the third structure is “(Sub) is worth + v-ing/noun”.

I can’t stand + noun /v – ing

If we cannot tolerate something for any reason be it big or small. Like if we hate something or we don’t like that thing then we will use this structure. For example, I can’t stand spicy food.

• I can’t stand dishonesty.
• I can’t stand being ignored.
• I can’t stand slow internet speed.

• I can’t stand watching horror movies.
• I can’t stand long meetings.
• I can’t stand people talking over me.
• I can’t stand being late.

It goes without saying + clause

This structure is used when there is no doubt about something. For example, It goes without saying that time is precious.

(Sub) is worth + v-ing/noun
