You've really helped me improve my English. I'm now teaching your lessons to a certain group of people. I started watching you when you hair was still black. It is good to see you grow old with Wisdom and knowledge.
Hello sir, He raised his hand to the question. He rose from his seat and gave the answer. We laid Styrofoam under the carpet to make it feel soft. He was lying on the sofa.
Magnificent as usual cute Minoo. These verbs used to give me headache...as well as saw/sew/sow...Thanks so much...Hardly had I used my reverse English than I received a threatening mail. I will leave no stone unturned untill I get the culprit...You may help me may be...Thanks so much for your generosity.Bravo for your breathtaking hair's beauty ...🍇🍋🍓
Excelente… Hello, Minoo. I think it is also used in America I lay on my bed ( down) I haven't lain in the sun for five years. At least that's how I've learned it. It is used laid when referring to knocking someone down, depositing something Best regards
Thank you! Yes, as I say in the lesson, in British English, 'I lay (down) on my bed.' is the Past tense. In the Present, we say 'I lie (down) on my bed.'
I've checked a lot of US dictionary websites and strangely I can only find the "British" rules for lie/lay. I've honestly come to the conclusion that many US speakers use the words exactly as you've described, but that it is in fact "wrong". Similar to "I'm good" or "to eat healthy".
Yes, American dictionaries also state the correct usage, so it's a mystery why almost all Americans, including well spoken ones, are getting it wrong. Interestingly, now many British English speakers have started using the same 'wrong' phrases.
Hi Minoo, thanks for the lesson. Kind of verbs like those are tricky for me. I'd like you to make a video explaining these ones: Wake-awake Sleep-asleep Stray-astray Rise-arise Wait-await Like-alike And some others you know please 🙂🙂🙂🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Hello Minoo ! Absolutely buzzing to see you again! Have I had a tail, I would be wagging it in a full swing like a supermarine Spitfire plane propeller, each time you show up!
Hi meenu, I found your channel so much better and exceptional. I need a suggestion. Please help me. I am an ielts aspirant and I wrote my exam once. L8R7W6S6 overall 7. But I need individual 7 in each module. How can I improve my English level? Now I am little bit confused about my growth in language learning. Please help me.
Thank you for your kind words. IELTS is all about practice. You need to use IETLS practice books or sites, e.g. IELTS LIZ, and do the writing and speaking tasks again and again until they become second nature. Of course, it will be a big help to have a tutor to give you feedback on your writing and speaking tasks and help you gradually reach 7 in both. I offer this service myself, but as I'm based in the UK, my fees may be too high. See if you can find an IELTS tutor locally or an online tutor who lives in a country where the cost of living is low, that will be great. You can look for an online tutor on Preply.com
Hello Ma'am. I'm watching your previous videos on 'Prepositions and Passive '. I have a lot of confusion about prepositions like, ' with/of/from etc' and passive of ' Gerund and infinitive along with interrogative sentences '. A quick comparison video will be highly appreciated. Thank you
Most of the stalled projects are solvent but stuck for liquidity and with support from the AIF , can be completed , unlocking value for buyers. In the above sentence which is main verb either are solvent or can be completed Or what" can be completed"is reffering? Please help me
Hi Minoo, I checked on both Oxford and Cambridge dictionaries. I know they are British schools but they always include UK and US versions. I didn't see any definition of ' lay' present tense meaning I lay on my bed as American English. Could you please provide the source? Thank you
Indeed, all reference books, including American ones, say the same. My reference is native speakers' usage. In my experience in the past few years, 90% of Americans and British people who watch a lot of American movies, now use 'lay' as both an intransitive and a transitive verb.
Hello Ma"am thank you very much for your feedback support. I am very glad to see that you always solve my doubts by replying in the comments section. I have one another doubt please solve it . We often say these sentences :- 1. She cooked food when we came home. 2. She took a bath when we arrived home. 3. He took his breakfast when train started. 4. When he came to my house I welcomed him. 5.The music started when the curtains opened. 6. He had played cricket when I went there. 7. I had eaten 2 apples when I went to office. Are these sentences correct in structure? If these are correct than Why this sentence is incorrect :- Here is a Question which appeared in our English language exam. We did a test when the lights went out. There are 4 options in the exam :- 1. Have been doing 2. Were doing 3. Had done 4. No improvement. According to Examiner the correct answer is 2nd one :- We were doing a test when the lights went out. If above examples are correct than why we did not say that 3rd and 4th one also correct? Such as :- No improvement:- We did a test when the lights went out. We had done a test when lights went out. We were doing a test when lights went out. ( I know this structure :- Past continue+ when + past simple this is a also a correct) But why there is no other possibilities for the Question. I mean to say Why examiner did not say that 1st & 4th one also correct. Why did examiner only say the 2nd one option is correct only.
It all depends on the context and whether: a) the actions happened at the same time: Past simple + Past Simple b) one action happened in the middle of another one: Past Simple + Past Continuous c) one action was completed before the other: Past Simple + Past Perfect You can learn these three tenses in this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Ojy2YUrL2_4.html
Sentence: The fund will support to viable projects with a positive net worth and registered with the Real Estate Regulatory Authority. In this sentence , what is reffering "registered " Is it main verb of the fund or any other ? Please explain me
There is only a slight difference. It will be clearer in the Present tense: They worry about me. >> A regular action They are worried about me. >> A current state
He is given to drinking. I am looking forward to meeting you. Here Which one is finite and which one is non finite verbs. ( is, given, drinking, am, looking, meeting) ???
Hello stranger! Long time no see ! I gather that you have packed it in, right? What a pity ! We have been missing you. Well, as the saying goes * all good things come to an end * Merry Christmas to you Minoo as well as you family. Fare thee well for now and many thanks for all your sublime lessons. Greetings from Casablanca.
Hello 'Freddy'! Thank you so much for your continued support and encouragement. I know it's been a very long time since I last published a lesson. That's because I've been focusing on enhancing my online course, which is taking longer than I'd expected. I'm hoping to be back on YT in early 2024 with a new series of lessons. I also wish you and your loved ones Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
I have started recording my live lessons for my online students. I just need to edit them for YT. They're between 8 and 14 minutes. But, I will certainly think about your suggestion to do shorts as well, maybe for vocab and pronunciation.
9 months of break 😮 As much as we adore you Minoo, we are afraid we cannot hire you in our establishments 😂😂 I recommended your channel to Micheal. Greetings from Casablanca.
Thank you for recommending me to 'Michael'. I've never had so many celebrity followers :-) Thank you for your patience. I'm recording some live lessons that I'll start sharing in a couple of months' time.
(1) :Elections to local bodies *are to be determined* by a Commission. (2). Elections to local bodies *are determined* by a commission . What's the difference between above two sentences according to meaning?

@@AngloLinkEnglish But according to the context it's giving present sense . For example: According the census of 1991 , highest percentage of population in India "is to be found" in the age group of 15 .
Please check any errors in these sentences. Is it correct to say in this situation? Situation: 1(Would you recommend me for this job? 2) He recommended me for this job. 3) Would you recommend her for this job? 4) He recommended her for this job.
