發表一點點對於"a", "the" 或是不用的看法: "a" 首先這是一定用在可數單詞，而且物質本身數量很多，普通，沒有獨立存在的性質 例如 a pen, a file, a watch, a chair 等等 A rice, a water 都是不行的 遇上不可數單詞時，加上量詞即可 例如 a cup of coffee, a pair of glasses, a bowl of rice, a bottle of water 它有個兄弟是 "an", 用法跟a 一樣，只是要注意他們之後的第一個音是響音 (Vowel Sound) 才用 "an"，不用死記是A,E,I,O,U 才用 An orange, an apple, an hour, an idea etc. "the" 則可以用在不可數或可數單詞，但用"the"時，本身物質/事物是帶有指定性，或者是獨一無二的存在 例如 The power of technology, The air pollution of fossil fuels, The Sun, The University of Oxford, The Queen of England "the" 也可以用在本身數量很多的物質/事物上，但前題是帶有指定性 例如 The boy in the classroom, the pillow on the couch. I can see the girl 就這樣子說是挺奇怪的，除非這句話是帶有context的成份 例如 Can you see the girl who is running down the road? 不用"a"或"the" 的時候多數在指概念，習慣或興趣等等 例如 I love eating seafood, I like reading books, I usually watch movies at night, I go to school by bus 大多數用在一些沒有指定性也不需要帶出單一性質的的事情上 但要注意的點是如果事情裡有包含普遍性及數量很多的可數單詞時，是要以複數展示 其實除了 "a", "an" 或 "the" 還有其他常見冠詞例如 "that", "those", "this"及 "these" 也需要分清楚而避免用錯 唯一的方法就是多聽多看多用 (這是廢話) 以上希望可以幫到一些觀眾快速了解"a", "an", "the"或不用冠詞的概念
Even though I am a native English speaker, I really enjoy these videos where you teach things like grammar to the overseas brothers. That being said, I would LOVE to see a video explaining when to use articles (4:03)!
I like watching these videos as a native English speaker so I can learn the grammar mistakes made by others. It actually shows how the sentence structure works in their language so someone can pick that up and learn it in reverse.
Chris, 关于“I don't think you should ...” 这个句子，基于我以前学英文的知识（中学英文老师有强调这个知识点），这种前置否认其实在中文里就是直接翻译成 "我认为你不应该"。。。并不是翻译成“我不认为你应该……”。英文的否定是在前，中文的否定是在后。我还记得中学考试有考到，如果写'I think you should not'是会扣分的哈哈哈 。
What's up to me is not "hi", it's more like "how are you" or "what's new". When someone says hi to me, I usually answer with what's up because I wonder why they're contacting me. And I expect to hear why they are getting in touch not just "hi". But at work, we often use how are you doing instead of how are you.
Yeah it's definitely situational. Like if it's someone you don't know, it just means hi, but if it's someone you know then it's more of a "What have you been up to"/"What's been going on"
1. By the way, "Even though ..., but..." Or "Although ..., but ..." is also a problem shared by Manglish and Singlish, not just Chinglish lol 話說 “雖然但是“ 同樣也是新加坡和馬來西亞式英語（和華人社區）的問題 哈哈 2. "Did anyone tell you ... Not to hassle ... The Hoff?" (This is a pun I like about the word "hassle" from Kung Fury web film)
Actually every student was taught by his/her English teacher this way and told about those grammatical errors. Most people just forgot about what the teacher said in school 😜
@@kevinma9512 Because Chinese people don't often uses English in their own country. Unlike in Singapore and Malaysia wheres peoples comes in different races, so the embrace of English is stronger.
@@jackjackyphantom8854 even tried. 😃 and Because is a conj which can not stand by alone to be a complete setence. So, your "because Chinese ppl dont often use English in their own country is not right"😜
GEM‘s Cantonese accent is quite evident in her English, but she speaks well for the most part 😊 everyone makes mistakes, tons of Americans can’t tell the diff between your and you’re, it’s and its, they text “could of” instead of could’ve… piece of mind instead of peace of mind. Etc etc
I tried learning French and failed immediately. There’s six pronouns, six ways to change a verb for just one tense, not to mention how you need to alter every other thing to fit the plurality or gender of a sentence 🤯 All people speaking French are geniuses to me
Hello Chris, may I ask you a question about English? I saw a headline on White House announcement "Breaking: America's first coronavirus vaccine doses are administered!" What did it use "America's" instead of "American" here? What is the difference? I seldom heard America's but usually American.
Nah bro if you live in Australia it's different. The bogan way of introduction is the best. 1. Sup 2. Sup bro 3. Yo 4. Hey man 5. Hey bruv/bro But most of these are too hard for foreigners to integrate into their daily conversation without having a weird accident even though they're one word easy introductions. 5. WhatsUp is overused and overused, used mostly movies.
@@xdj701 yeah but he moved out of the us when he was little. Since he was only seven at the time he moved, I think he only had two years of primary education. I don’t think that time is enough to become completely fluent.
