Ehmmm… I have a comment out of topic: Is it possible signing on our personal profile the results of the quizzes for every lesson?? It’s to rememeber them and trying to make better in future…

sarahyu

Not yet, but we will have this feature in the future.

engVid

It’s a feature we hope to add!

Hello, We are really appreciative for what you are
doing here.
as you know nowadays most people apply for studying
abroad. so, I would like to ask you talk about
university vocabulary.
The things that a student needs to know about Foreign
universities from applying to studying there.

bnkheldoun

I got 10 yeaaay :), the lesson was enjoyable but complicated a bit however, I’m sure your way of presenting the lesson was brilliant but I might not have gotten it well, one more thing, can you generously talk slower next times, I always lose the track.
I am in favor with Farhad’s suggestion ^ ^

saad87

i have a same problems such as yours, when i watch jame’s video i have to keep pause

kumarikaren

Hi my wonderful teacher james
Your lessons are very good and useful as always.
But I have a small questions that confuse me
1- This lesson is boring (it’s true) but when I say
this lesson WAS bored….. Is it true??
2- Im very intersted in learing how to speak germen (it’s true)
why is intersted the right answer?
I think learning always is ongoing and active…!!!?
3- My mother is aging very well .she must be healthy.
Could you tell me another sentence that I use aged.
thank you for this lesson because I was looking for it for long time and I wonder that you answer me as soon as possible.

nashat anwar

Hello James! Once more you taught perfectly! The learning process gets to much better when we learn with a person like you! Congrats!! =]

And James, I have a doubt, which I would be very grateful if you or another teacher could explain on a video. Is about the questions without auxiliary verb. I read about this subject and I got that we do not use auxiliary when the question word is also the subject, but I get so confused on this.
Could EngVid help us on this subject?!
Thanks a lot! ;)

ivanjoaojr

I hope they’ll respond to you soon, and they will, I’ll try to help though if I may :) ,,,.As far as I know it’s that simple : When asking about the subject, just replace the subject with the ((WH question)) word ,, for example, JOHN phoned me yesterday ,,, the question will be ((WHO phoned me yesterday)) more examples ,,, someone knows the answer ((who knows the answer?)) ,,, Earthquaqe has happened in Iran recently ((WHATt has happened in Iran ?)) IVAN JOAO asked a question (( WHO asked a question )) how simple that is ,,, sorry for jumping, further explaining to come soon from the teachers

saad87

Terrefic lesson! Thank you so much!

Thanks a lot Mr. E :))

Rozanna

Hey,James. U really make teaching English fun. Uh, I’m also an English teacher (in China)and I like ur videos which are very interesting.As for -ed and -ing adjectives, I think they can be explained a lot more easier. U just need to tell ur students -ing ADJECTIVES are used to modify THINGS and how u think about them，like INTERESTING movie(u think it’s interesting), BORING lecture(u think it’s boring), and -ed ADJECTIVES are used to modify PEOPLE(how someone feels) and something ONLY people can have(look, expression). For example, I’m INTERESTED in it(I,not thing), He’s BORED with it(He,not thing), surprised look(someone’s look). What do u think? :0

englishtime1980

precise, valuable lesson, usefull for all.

englishtime1980

“English grammar, students studying, teachers great.”

englishtime1980

thanks so much for all the lessons-

beanefer

I would explain the difference as: -ed is used mostly for feelings and -ing with characteristics. interesting – a book, a person – that cherecterizes them, and interested – that is a feeling of a person. but thats for elementary students. later on, students learn the other examples by just using them, facing with them on the way.

100 % but in the second time. Thanks James again.

alpido24

Thanks for fantastic lesson. I noticed that you present finished action (past) on the right side of the screen. I believe that for most people move to the right is move forward (toward future) and move to the left is move backward (toward past). Maybe it is possible to swap “ongoing action” and “action finished” ?

Chrzaszcz

nice man keep it up!

Leonardor

It is a very big problem for my students this subject/theme…how can I help them?

Saxoaudrey

Let’s make it by easy way to comprehend
ED : how people feel
ING: the things/people that make us fell

kevinmdis

Hi. James.
I watched this part all over and over, (like 5 time, maybe?)but I can’t still understand :/.

I think this part is basic in the writing skills. (Or reading skills)

Can you teach me what’s different in this sentences?

1. I’m bored.
2. This lesson is boring.

thxmyfriend

Thank you James for teaching me free english lesson.

ghadaalomran

Thanks James!

Anita

James, your class could be better if you gave us some examples. If you had used senteces during your explanation our class would be better.

Gustavo

I didn’t understand this lesson and this grammar :(

YasmineMarques

Not very easy to assimilate the concepts of this lesson, basically it is not very difficult but it generates doubts when you use “-ing” on the active and “-ed” on the passive. I thought “-ing” was for things or stuff and “-ed” was for the person or human beings. Thanks a lot, teacher James, an interesting lesson.

angardiobel

I’m excited to see that I got 10/10. I believe it happened because the lesson was well delivered by the great James.

Hello James:
Your presentation was quite nice, in fact, it is a very difficult topic to digest. I hope we could get in touch, though I see you have not posted replies from us. Tnanks in advance for your kind attention.

yaima86

Great lesson, my son and I enjoy it!:)

bomfim.franz

sir, may i ask u i bit confused about the answer of quiz
the answer said if:
6. the room is very crowded xxxx..
may i know why we cant say crowding?
i heard if the noun is thing we cant use -Ed adjective.the room is thing, right? so why the answer is “crowded”.
Thanks sir, anyway i’m sorry if my grammar so messy,,hehhe

Palupi

I believe that your explanation wasn’t easy to get it. That diagram has too much letter is quite confusing to be honest. The difference is pretty simple:
ED: it describes feelings or emotions.
ING: it describes characteristics of a particular situation.
Thanks for your lesson, you should make another well-explained lesson.

Briceno9

I whant to thank all spesally Teacher James and Teacher Ronnie they are asome.
