Dear Teacher! Do you have any tip to help student improve their response faster? I leaned English long time and I live in Canada long time. I associated with native speakers pretty much everyday and I understood most you said and they said but when I respond or speak it took me too long? Thank you!
Hi Jen, I understand what you mean. I have that problem when I speak Spanish. I think this question is one that is about language but also culture. For example, my good friend, who is Japanese, speaks really great English ,but she always has a hard time talking to me because I don't let time pass before I respond, and this is the same when she is talking to a big group of people who are speaking English that are not from her culture. I actually prefer the way she uses which is to pause and think before responding. But, if you want to start talking, you can let people know that you have something to say by showing them that you are thinking and talking at the same time. Some expressions I use to respond or add to a conversation are these: - Yeah, I get what you're saying. . . - Right, that make sense. . . -I mean. . . -Here what about this. . . -Ummm . . . These are just filler words/expressions. I hope that helps! You might want to watch our videos on the conversation video playlist we have. There, you can see the "fillers" we use when we start to talk. We will be adding more of these soon. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-4uKumLc1bzQ.html
Dear Madam your explanation is very good but I find it difficult to read your notes. Letters appear too small and strains the eye balls. What is the solution?
Please keep putting this videos i was in need of them in my first year at university but i was not able to find on youtoub Please crray on putting like this videos And parts of speech and if you can put lessons on linguistics branches like syntax morphololgy phonlogy ...ect it would be better And thank you so much lady
Hello dear , Can you please reduce ( past passive and past progressive passive ) for me in reason adverb clause because every time I see there is being in both if you answer me I will be grateful Thank you
From one of your other videos and from analyzing Ben Franklin's autobiography, I got the useful idea that I can use grammar to "do things" with sentences. Example: "Sherlock Holmes hid in a closet." That's interesting. Holmes did a mysterious action. But the sentence "Sherlock Holmes hid in the closet to catch the jewel thief." Adding the infinitive clause tells us both what Holmes did and the reason why he did it. If I wrote these two ideas as two sentences, I would have informed my reader of the what and the why, but it would read jumpy. What I am also getting is that when I am told an adverb answers why, how, when or where that this tells us two things. First, it helps me understand the grammar of a sentence. For the sentence She read thoroughly" I know thoroughly is an adverb for it answers the question "how did she read?" She read thoroughly. But the second reason, adding words onto a sentence to deliver richer information." It makes the writing more mature than the simple sentence of "See Jane skip. Skip. Skip. Skip." Knowing my choices of what information I can add to my sentence helps me to write better in terms of richness and rhythm. I am wondering if you could add on a segment or two or three or more in which you show us how to use grammar so that I can write the things I hear inside my soul. With respect and appreciation
I'm not making negative comments. I was trying to respond--for the second time--to questions raised by Abdallah Oufkir. I guess he has lost interest. That was what I was referring to with my "old news" remark.
Hello Your lecture makes me understand well. I watch it almost every day. If you can explain WH's perfect past or present. For example, Have you seen a Kangaroo when you were in Australia last month?
While I was watching the lectures you taught in class with the students, I was hesitating, "I wish he could teach alone". Because naturally there was a lot of noise. Finally, my request came true. Thank you very much for your passionate lecture.
Adverbs show when, where, or how (not just how) action takes place. Adverbs also tell us in what manner and to what extent something is done. Beginning students should focus primarily on when, where, and how, The rest will come later. You're welcome.
You're actually wrong because adverbs do even more than what you've written. They show time, location, frequency, manner, condition, etc. My question for you is this: Why do you feel the need to point out "issues" in our videos? I explain things in ways that are useful to students for the topic at hand. You don't need to assume I don't know something about grammar, especially something so basic as what you pointed out about the function of adverbs, just because I don't go through a laundry list of grammar rules every time. Please stop trolling, mansplaining, and assuming we need your advice.
@@BreakingEnglish I said adverbs show when (time), where (location) and how (manner). That is all beginning students need to know. Adverbs tend to confuse ESL students when you talk about frequency, condition, and so forth. I am not "actually wrong".
@@BreakingEnglish madam can we trust your grammar 100% correct as per your knowledge although it looks like correct,i am asking just for assurance ,not doubting u ,
