Hi, teacher! What will be the difference between these two sentences: "I always think about my girlfriend" and "I am always thinking about my girlfriend". Thank you
Respected sir, being undisputedly the greatest grammarian of this generation, you are earnestly entreated with folded hands to enlighten me a tad as to whether the following sentence is grammatically correct or not.The sentence is -He believed me to do the job/He believed me to have done the job.
These sentences are not correct. "He believed me to do the job/He believed me to have done the job." I would say something like: "He believed he could do the job." or "He believed I had done the job." But it does depend on what your specific meaning is.
Doesn't the verb'believe' take the 'object+Infinitive' form? Sir-Question-He believed that I did it.(Transform this Complex sentence into a Simple Sentence).My answer-He believed me to have done it.Sir,if it is not grammaticality correct, what would be the most appropriate answer to the above Transformation-related question?
Hi, I am from Manchester, I do not have a strong accent anymore, but I am still "northern". Rachel comes from the "Home Counties" so she is posher than me, but she doesn't speak in RP. We are definitely not American, just generic British English I am afraid!
It's how we all originally acquired our native languages. We acquired the language in chunks instead of isolated words. Same thing for language learners. Listen / read in context [ Chunks ]
Hi Mustafa, the answer here is no. "I am frustrated" is correct. You can use "being" to express the actions of someone or something else in a kind of passive form. "I am being frustrated by the difficulty."
Thank you both for providing such an engaging collection of British English content for listening. I must say, the way you showcased the iPhone and Gucci bag was quite intriguing! Are Apple and Gucci sponsoring this podcast by any chance?
Hi Sir, Thanks for the lesson! I have a doubt. Consider if the question "Is it raining " is asked at 12:45 p.m noon and actually it started raining 6:00 am and stopped raining at 11: 45 a.m. So can I say " it has been raining all morning " ? I am asking this question because in the other video of yours i learned that with PPC or PPS only unfinished time word can be used. So Is it wrong if i use "all morning " in this recently completed action and the time (here morning) is finished. Please reply.
In this case, I would say "It rained all morning" using the Past Simple form. It isn't raining now, and the morning is over, so you don't use unfinished time phrases. Doea that help?
Great! 'Lbee fola'win yora'd vise, good Master!" I recal a nice chunk from the "Peacky Blinders", when Thomas Shelby once demands, "Gimmi a bo'alow whyskey!"
That is a really good question! I don't think there is such a thing as a 'real' British accent. Unless. like me, you come from Manchester where we all talk proper, not like those Londoners!!!
