Hi, Lucy! You are an awesome, beautiful teacher. Greetings from Indonesia. 🇲🇨 I'm Rezza, from Indonesia. I speak Indonesian or Bahasa because it is my mother tongue or first language. 🇲🇨 Using apostrophes in English is quite different with my first language, Indonesian (Bahasa Indonesia). 🇲🇨 Use of apostrophes according to Enhanced Spelling (ES = EYD) as follows: 1. As the removal of parts of the word. For example, a. Senja 'lah tiba. (Meaning: Twilight has come). 'lah means has/have. b. Ibu 'kan kukabari. (Meaning: I will tell my mother). 'kan means will/shall. c. Ayah 'lum juga kembali. (Meaning: Father has not come back yet). 'lum means not yet. 2. As the removal of the year. For instance, a. July 11 '66. ('66 means 1966) b. September '08. ('08 means 2008) c. Preamble of the Constitution '45. ('45 means 1945)
Perfect timing! I NEED this SO much- struggle with punctuation/apostrophes in every single english exam 😅 thank you for uploading this!! love your videos lucy (and your accent😍😂) ! ❤️
English with Lucy oh thank you so much for your reply! ❤️❤️ i'm from germany and i always try to talk with your accent when i speak english - absolutely LOVE british english😍
I'm so relieved that you made this video~✨ I'm studying hard for an English final test and I always struggle with grammar rules, so this video is really helpful!
Hi Lucy, thank you for the lesson ! In French, we use apostrophes to contract "le, la, les" (the) into "l'", "je" into "j'" (I), "si" into "s"" (if), "que" into "qu'" (that)... when they are followed by vowels :)
Very clear and useful examples. If unsure, I would advise people to find a different way of writing something and to avoid verb contractions as they are usually unnecessary with the written word. In that last sentence, I wrote I would, rather than I'd, though both are correct. If in doubt, write the full word, as it reduces the number of apostrophes.
Great job, Lucy! You recently did a couple of class with them to learn Indonesian. That's the first language aka mother tongue where I live in. I'm Indonesian, from Indonesia. For sure, I speak Indonesian (Bahasa Indonesia). 🇲🇨 I'm so proud of being Indonesian.
Thank you very much for that video which is sooooo useful. I am French, I've been learning English on my own and with the tremendous help of native English speakers for a while now. And it took me almost 2 years to realise that "she/he's gone shopping" was a contraction of she/he has gone shopping and not she/he is gone shopping. From then on, I realised the usage of go with the auxuliary be was extremely rare when not discussed and challenged. But the bad habit and misinterpretation had years to sink in and I'm having troubles to get rid of that!
Hi Lucy, I'm Brazilian, here we speak portuguese (different from Portugal), and we don't use apostrophes. I think is good because it's like a exclusive thing of english, so I don't confuse it (I hope...)
Thank you Lucy! I found your videos very helpful and your voice is so soft and calming, I’m ready to watch your videos all day long! Also I’m Russian and our language is waaaay more complicated but I’m glad it’s my native one😊
Here's an example: Lucy's channel is wonderful, it's just great learning English, English with its British accent. Hope I helped! cause we're going to be better 👍
Dear Lucy, you are a great expert in English language teaching. Can you tell me, when giving presentations, should I say "In the slide, or on the slide?" Should I say "in this page, or on this page"?
Hi. I am really happy I discovered your channel. It's so helpful and easy to understand. I wanted to ask if there is a video on your channel about using ironic speech in English. Like if you're insulting someone but don't mean it serious and say it just to tease someone a bit. Maybe it's a video idea if such a video doesn't exist yet? Much Love from Germany Johanna
Very good Lucy! In Italian we use a lot of apostrophes but not for the same situations you talk about. We use apostophres for the articles when the noun begins with a vocal, for example: l'arancia, l'orologio; or we use them in questions when the verb is "è", for example: quand'è nata? Or: dov'è andato?
It's the excellent video and, in general, all your videos are so interesting and useful, and I enjoy when just even look at you in your videos. Thank you, I really appreciate your help! And I've got a question: Could you make some video about punctuation, as for me, this aspect can be quite confusing sometimes. Or if the video about it was already uploaded, somebody, give its link, please.
That's great !😃 In my language, Turkish we also say, for example, '' Lucy'nin evi '' which is '' Lucy's home '' in English. And we say, for example, "Lucy'nin ve Aly'nin kedileri" , which is '' Lucy's and Aly's cats. '' Cheers,Lucy ! Great to see you ! 😊

Hello, Lucy. I always revel in your videos, thank. In Bulgarian (my mother tongue) we don't have apostrophes and I was something really strange for me when I started learning English but I got used to it.
Hi Lucy! We don't use apostrophes in Russian, but there are tons of other punctuation rules to learn. It confuses me when I need to use a comma in English, but not in the same sentence in Russian, and vice versa. E.g. 'I bought apples, oranges, and pears'. We don't use a comma before AND. And the use of ' ' or " " quotatin marks is not clear to me. Which ones should I use?
In UK English, ' ' quotation marks are used first and " " are used when you need to quote something within the ' ' quotation marks that you've already used. In Australian and American English, the reversed practice is more common.
Greetings from Indonesia. 🇲🇨🇲🇨🇲🇨🇲🇨🇲🇨🇲🇨 I'm native Indonesian. I'm from Indonesia. I speak Indonesian (Indonesian language). So Indonesian is my first language a.k.a mother tongue. In Indonesian (Bahasa Indonesia), we also use an apostrophe but it is a little bit different from English.
Great class like always, teacher! ❤️ In portuguese, we rarely use the apostrophes, but we use a lot the acute accent, circumflex accent, tilde and grave accent (crase; a + a) in our grammar and orthography.
Hi Lucy! Very helpful video! I have a question, it's not connected to the video, what's the difference between 'have had' and 'had had'? I always struggle with that..
Lucy, I started to watch your channel just to understand better the british accent, since that my own accent has always been more similar to the american one, but now I want to speak like a british too hahaha
Hey Lucy, great video as always, pretty helpful!! Coud you please teach us when and how to use contractions such as "I'mma, I'm gonna, I wanna, I gotta, get outta, it ain't, cuz, whatcha, gimme, kinda, lemme, ya, sorta, lotta, coulda, shoulda" and all those we hear in songs as well as when we're on informal conversations? It'd be so good to understand who we can use them with or where and what places usually have them in its ordinary day a day. Thanks a lot in advance and saludos desde Toledo 🙌🏼🇪🇸
Now, as an English teacher, I've found a way to tell my students why we should feel free to use one of these: a plural noun + 's or a plural noun + '... I will chose one of those and be consistent with it :) Thanks Lucy
Really good video as always! In French we use the apostrophe when it's about names when they start with a vowel for example: animal in French is masculine, so normally we would use "le" but in this case it's different it would be "l'animal" because you can't have two vowels next to each other... or l'arbre: the tree. But "le chat": the cat 😊
I have been following you fr ages and I've never been as excited as I am now after watching this video . I just want to have a chance to talk to you because you are truly amazing in every way ! Any future lives or contests ?
Amazing video! Could you make one about this little annoying thing " ; ", please? I don't even remember its name most of the time, let alone its uses! Please make a use about it and its uses!
Glad to see and hear you Lucy Thank you for everything you do for us. You help us very much. Do you have ielts videos? Could you please send me link ? Thanks in advance
Nice lesson, teacher Lucy. The apostrophe matter is something that were really around my head all of this time. I really appreciate this video. By the way, I have some ideas for your channel. Would you like to know about them?
