Waw!! Waw!! Waw!! Good one!! Very good lecture on verbs!! Could you add more vedios for english gramar as well as sentences construction with joining wards. I got across it easily. Thanks!!
Hey Dan, nice to watch your lecture on n.a. verbs. I have used it with my English class , 9 graders, and it was really useful and clear. Thanks, Prof. Fitzerald!
I am glad to hear that you found it useful for your class. Let me know if you would like me to make a video on a specific topic your students are having difficulty with.
I am form AFG I have started learning english since one year a go and I have been waching lessons of different teachers on RU-vid but among them your are the best and best once again thanks.
I think wishing is correct, ''I always say wishing you the best" I do not feel like there is something wrong with expressing it in the present prograssive
Thank you sir. I was confused what a non action verb was. Now I have come to know that a verb that has no action is a non action verb. Thank you very much. I can write better now. I have a doubt still, when talking about machines do we say "The watch is working" or "The watch works"?
This website has the videos in the order I recommend. Print out the worksheet for each video and fill it out as you watch. Then you have something you can use to go back and study. Dan
Dear sir , I have spent last 7 dayes for knowing this two sentences .. (1) Ladies and gentlemen presenting you....... (2) Full of people trying to go somewhere... Without having any helping verb how can those two verbs "Present" & "Try" be a progressive verb. Could you possibly help me?
first , Thanks for you ,I'm getting confused . There are many verbs work in both continues pattern and non-continues pattern , for example the verb (think). could you tell me when we use each one of them?
Thank you sir ... I am your new student..😊 First time I saw your lecture.. and It was nice..I also subscribed your channel ...you are a great tutor.. Now my first question..👉 If I use this state verbs with present perfect tense..for eg.. I have lived here for 2 year... so what does it mean ..I am still living here or I just stopped living here..???? Thank you.. I am glad to find you..😊💐
Both meanings are possible. Present perfect can show 'recently completed activity' or 'activity continues to now'. Usually the context makes it clear which meaning someone is using. Thanks for subscribing.
Thank you so much!I have a question though. What about a verb "depend"?It doesn't sound like an action verb but still I hear people saying it in continuous.
+Vasily Sarantsev Action and non action verbs are not a strong rule. I think what you might be hearing is a shortened expression. 'it depends' is sometimes shortened into 'depending' Depending on your study habits, you could learn quickly or slowly. You could learn quickly or slowly. It depends on your study habits.
Thanks. The subject not doing the tasting. Tastes. Actually, this is pretty basic , so just trust what you know. When it comes to language, splitting hairs is fun, though! I will be back.
Also, in the list of examples of non-action verbs, #2 is missing. . . 1.) Information in the brain. ..3.) opinions. 4.) ownership.. just curious. Thanks.
You're an excellent teacher , but can we not use "Ing"form for these verbs even after the verbs "to stop" "to keep"or "to look forward to"plse could you help me get it !
I think you are talking about using gerunds. That's where we use a verb as a noun. For example I stop drinking. I look forward to eating I keep talking. In those examples the -ing verb is actually a noun. Watch the videos in this playlist for more explanation. ru-vid.com/group/PLV0L7E9x9TZKlIx_KP_sAa_NpITTmxJr0
You need not actively know. You either do or you don't .a fact is a fact . Use present simple. Who do you think I am? Mis -informed. I can tell this stuff. A teacher myself.
