hello everyone thank you for joining me

0:02

again and welcome to any new viewers

0:04

this is to the point English with Ben

0:06

I'm Ben now in my opinion I think you're

0:10

going to find this video really

0:12

interesting and fascinating because

0:14

we're going to be looking at something

0:16

called tautology which you should avoid

0:19

in your essays or any academic writing

0:23

compositions in your Cambridge English

0:25

exams or any English exams or even in

0:28

real life so what is torgy well really

0:32

it's just a fancy word for quite a

0:34

simple concept and in order to explain

0:37

it we're going to look at that sentence

0:39

I just said again so I said in my

0:42

opinion I think you're going to find

0:44

this video really interesting and

0:46

fascinating so that sentence has two

0:49

examples of tautology so what do you

0:51

think they are where are the two

0:53

examples of torty in that sentence well

0:55

if I told you that torgy is basically

0:58

redundancy in linguistic expression so

1:01

really just saying the same thing twice

1:04

then perhaps now you can find the two

1:06

examples of of tautology in that

1:08

sentence right yeah the first one is

1:11

where I start the sentence by saying in

1:13

my opinion I think that's completely

1:17

redundant
