Basic IELTS Listening,

What’s the difference between *before* and *beforehand* in English? These words are tricky because they LOOK similar but they are used differently! 

You are probably MORE familiar with the word BEFORE - I’ll briefly cover that now, but keep reading to better understand how to use BEFOREHAND!

🟣BEFORE = *at an earlier time THAN something else*
Use it before nouns, verbs, times (like 7 a.m., Thursday or tomorrow afternoon), and direct objects. For example: 

I walk my dog *before* dinner every day.
I spoke to my manager *before* cancelling the meeting. 

🟢BEFOREHAND = *in advance* or *at an earlier time*  (and this is a little different to ‘at an earlier time THAN something’!) Think of ‘beforehand’ as a more informal way of saying “in advance”. 

The position in the sentence is important here! *Beforehand* goes AFTER a verb or at the end of the phrase to say that something is happening at an earlier time. For example: 

Can you give me a call beforehand to go over the meeting agenda?  (This means, I want you to call me at an earlier time, so we can discuss the agenda before the meeting)
I’d rather get dinner beforehand so we are not hungry during the show. 

📝Write a sentence using ‘beforehand’ below (I think this one is the one you need to practise, right?!) 

EXTRA TIP 

*Also, one more note: we often use “beforehand” at the end of a sentence, but we can only use “before” at the end of a sentence to say “in the past” when talking about *life experiences* (and therefore, when we use the perfect tenses) 

🔹I’ve never been rollerblading before. 
🔹Shannon thought she had seen him before. 

Write a sentence with “beforehand” in the comments below to practice using it, and don’t forget to like and follow if this video was helpful! 😄
