Hi James i like you , i really enjoy your lessons and i can,t stop watching, its soooo clear,understandable and benifit lessons.
Go on . . .

noonaa

EngVid, please I need an answer immediately, either from James or from moderator. I’ve watched this lesson, but I couldn’t find the answer on following question. When we use the expression FAR MORE, I know that we say, for instance, far more attractive and so on, but what about this: Mark is far smarter than I am, or Mark is far more smarter than I am? First sentence makes sense, but tell me which one is correct. . .

dejandanilovic

Does this sentence make any sense? Sandra never always does her homework. It’s weird, but what do you think?

Merlin

adil88

James, It’s a lot better when you use a lav microphone, it eliminates all the reverb that is picked up by the cam’s microphone. Since most computers use cheap speakers that don’t have a very good frequency response I would suggest that you (if you can) roll off the frequencies above 14 khz and kill everything below 100 Hz in the low end. , but a lav should be enough to make your voice more inteligible. Thanks for all, you are really talented teacher, may all the good energy in the world be with you.

Victor

I would like to hear about “quite” and ” pretty”. When can we use them? Thank you.

Areg

James, this lesson is slightly different from your previous teachings, a slight dull

John

Hi! I’ve watched your videos and I have to say that you are a great teacher. I try to find you on facebook but still I cannot. Can you give me your e-mail or something ?

Sara

He got me with the fourth question !! I didn’t pay attention and I failed! It won’t happen again James! Never again! ^^ hehe
Good lesson as always.
I’d like to ask again for a lesson about the pronunciation of pull against pool or full against fool .. I’m asking this in every teacher’s comment cause I don’t know if it’s seen by anyone when the lesson is a old one.
Bye.

Great video James! Thanks! I was just wondering if your could make another video about different ways of comparing please? such as twice,three times etc + as ..as to compare two things..

To describe something that continuously changes and also to say that one thing depends on the other…

rafa1209

Thank you ..

marwa23

Thanks you very much. It’s easy to understand. !!

killme122

james and Mr E i beg you to give me ideas about the subjenctive mode because i’ve never known that it does exist another mode in english … you know we learn lot of tenses in english / even more tenses than any language i already know / so everyone will think absolutely that we’ve done with tenses as I did …however… unfortunately other things stretch out to re-complicate our life. LOL
can you help me
+ thanks for the lesson and i’m so sorry i had asked you for these thing directly without even telling you how was the lesson
+ can you tell me why you always draw Mr E in board
thanks again and happy new year everybody

Teacher James, Can I ask a question?
This chair is far more expensive than the other chair we bought.
This chair is a lot more expensive than the other chair we bought.
And
This chair is a little more expensive than the other chair we bought
This chair is slightly more expensive than the other chair we bought.
Did the mean same? and Was the sentence correct?
Thank!

kamedyne

MO Alshibli

Nice lesson, I have written down everything, I will try to perform the same as James did)

annablade

Thanks for the good lesson.My question is about the 5th Q in the quiz.” My brother is slightly taller than I am.” When do we need to put the subject and the verb after “than”?

lida.fereydouni

It has been a good and an interesting lesson about comparatives. We have reviewed some concepts and expressions with an easy explanation, all these expressions go before the comparative except “by far” which goes after the comparative, it was curious but terrible useful. Thanks a lot, teacher James Greer from EngVid, I suppose we are learning much more listening than only reading.
