I made this lesson about the difference between ‘FOR’ and ‘TO’ for you. Why did I use the word ‘for’ in that sentence, and not ‘to’? Watch this basic English grammar lesson and learn when to use ‘to’ and when to use ‘for’.
Hey great video, but I have a doubt,in the sentence “of great interest____ you” what shall I use for or to?

in which cases we use will, gonna, Shall and going to
Diianii15
Watch my lesson on will and going to on the site.
“Shall” is very old-fashioned and British English — we rarely use shall in North America!
Hope that helps — Good luck!

Ms. Ronnie How about the sentence. happy birthday TO you and flowers FOR you..
carlodelacruz2003
Hi Ronnie, why Bob gave a gift _____ Fergus. is a benefit to Fergus but not use “for”?

Thank you… Ronnie you are my favorite teacher.
Could you help me ? I don´t understand de diference between for and By.

can i ask you why wrote the in the beer
isma3el
Hello Ronnie,
you are awsome because I am learning from you to much.could you please explain different between get and take? and also, is it OK to say mam to a young lady or not,I mean in what situation saying mam is OK?
farshid
Get means to receive . Eg… “I get my paycheck every Friday.” “I get a gift on my birthday.” “I get a cold in the winter.” Take means you actively grab/reach/transport something. “I take a cookie from the bag.” “I take the salt and put it on my food.” “I take my paycheck to the bank.” Mam is a very formal way of addressing a lady. If you worked in an expensive restaurant or retail shop you would call a lady “mam”. However, in everyday situations, it is much too formal. You can just say young lady or girl, but it is best to call people by their first name in a casual situation!
I hope that helps you!
Thanks for commenting and good luck!
Ronnie
perfect,it was really helpful,
thank you
farshid
Hi teacher,
I have a question for you. What sentence is correct

Hi!! I have a silly question… ok TO is used as transfer or exchange of something, in the expression “Happy birthday TO you…” what do you trasfer/exchange?
Thak for answer :)

Hello Ronnie,,,thanks for the explanations,, it’s cool, thanks
And I would like to ask you, what is the differen between Realised and Realized, they are really bothering my mind,
thank you my teacher :)
cristal99
Hello Cristal99,
Before, I had the same problem with you, I can’t not distinct: realise – realize, recognise – recognize, etc. Although realise is a British spelling and realize is a American spelling, they have same meaning. Hope it’s helpful.
Muopmap,
muopmap
hello Muopmap,,, thanks for your kindness and told me about that, so no mattter which one we use both are coqqect :) now I got ht, thanks
cristal99
Both are correct but is you want to use proper UK english it’s better to use Realise and Recognise, many words have been spelled differently to make it easier for Americans to spell them for example, Americans spell Center, the correct UK English is Centre, Americans spell Meter, UK Metre.
Both versions are ok to use but only the UK version is true proper English so you need to decide if you just want to use English generally or if it is important for you to know the most proper form of English?
chrisireland
hehe I meant to say > If you want to use proper English, I may speak English but my typing is not so good.
chrisireland
Hey, there is no “most proper form of English”! English may have originated in the UK, but that doesn’t mean British English is “more correct” than American or Canadian English. You can’t use text-speak spelling in a school essay, and formal business English would be out of place at a party—but we teach people about the rules and phrases particular to each of these contexts. Similarly, if someone asks about UK vs. US English, it’s enough to say “This is a British usage” or “It’s only spelled this way in America”!
(By the way, we’re based in Canada, which blends US and UK spelling: “cheque” and “metre”, but “recognize” and “practice”.)
engVid Moderator
You said > “English may have originated in the UK, but that doesn’t mean British English is “more correct” than American or Canadian English”.
If you read my comment I also said either version is ok to use? But if someone wants to learn Proper english (UK) they are better to learn and use the UK version, after all if you’re learning from zero it’s just as easy to learn the Original proper version as it is to learn the adapted versions?
And yes maybe text speak etc may be accepted in some situations many people may need to pass an exam to allow them entry into the UK and they will need to score high to succeed and their spelling and grammar will be very important.
I have a friends here in northern Ireland who married a woman from Mexico, she has had to sit the exam recently and it’s very strict, So as I said, depending on your reason for learning English it can matter which version you learn to use, the situation will make it more or less important to use proper UK English or not? Thanks for your reply, I’m sure both our points are valid depending on the situation.
Chris
Corrections for my own comment,I said I have a friends, should have been a friend, I don’t type as well as i speak, opps
Chris
The only difference is one is North American spelling and the other is British!

Hello…Thanks for these useful lessons..!!!
Can I use “to” or “for” depending on the meaning I want to convey..? I came across this two sentences: “I wrote the letter for you” and “I wrote the letter to you”.. and according to the explanation, in the first sentece “for” implies that I wrote the letter instead of you maybe because you were not able to or for any other reason… and in the second one, “to” implies that the letter is for you and for nobody else…
peluchino
Thank you for lesson
It is very useful
mouza
Hello again…
Could you please explain the difference between: Hope, Expect and Wait..? Thanks…
peluchino
Hope is similar to wish — it is almost not possible but something you want/wish to happen! I hope I win the lottery!
Expect is something that you think should indeed happen. You expect that I will answer your email.
Wait is a time phrase. I am waiting for your answer.
Ronnie
According to your explanation, could you please tell me if this sentence is ok..?
I hope you don´t expect me to wait for you
anival
Yes, that is correct!
Ronnie
Why is that correct? I can’t see neither transfer or benefit!

Thabks Ronnie . I have a question : in this sentence why don’t wa have agreement in this sentence between subject and verb” a friend quiz you”
leelian
” a friend quiz you” This sentence is wrong. You can say “A friend quizzes you” (present tense) or “A friend quizzed you.” (past tense) If you do that, then there is subject-verb agreement!
Ronnie
Hi Ronni
ur way of teaching is nice and clear. I’d like to know, why I can’t understand what the english native speaker exactly talk about, especialy when they speak long and quickly. how can I improve my listerning ability
navin
The first thing is don’t try to comprehend EVERY word the person is saying – if you can get even a few words, you may be able to understand what the person is trying to say! When I lived in Japan, I didn’t understand what the people were saying but I could get a few words and be able to piece together the information!
Body language is a great help too – look at the speakers face and eyes – you can tell by the person’s expressions their emotions!
It is difficult too because we use a lot of slang (esp. young people). You should try to learn slang and idioms!
If the person is talking to you, just ASK them what they meant! It is a great way to communicate with people and perhaps they will use different words that you DO understand!
The last thing is just listen everywhere you are – your brain will absorb it and you will be able to understand! Watch tv shows or movies with English subtitle, and listen to music with words on youtube. The radio is TOO DIFFICULT; they speak too fast and use too much slang!
Good luck!
Ronnie
Hello my best teacher Ronnie.First of all i hope you’re doing well.I have just read this great and simple words you said to explain how can we improve our listening ability,really personally i’ve used the and they’re so so helpful.THANK YOU !

Dear Ronnie,
There was a mistake the lesson you were teaching here.Here is the link.Will you please check this link again.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QTQb42w7oig&feature=relmfu
Passive–Active
example was:I eat lunch
and your answer was:Lunch was eaten…
But the example that you gave here was The simple tense so Answer should have been passive(simple tense)which is:Lunch is eaten(by me)if the example was tense then your answer would be correct.
which is like:I ate Lunch(Active)
Lunch was eaten by me(Passive)
Thanks….
mehmet2769
“Lunch was eaten” is correct and can mean lunch was eaten by a group or by one person, although it would normally be applied to a group as one person would probably say I ate lunch.

We say two plus two equals four (2+2=4)
two times three equals six 2×3=6
six divided by 3 equals two6/3=2

Ronnie, I started to learn English when I was 12-13… do you think if I move to the U.S.A or Canada or whatever I’ll be able to speak English without a foreign accent? I love you! bye ;)
Ítalo
I doubt it very much as my Gran came from Scotland when she was 8 and never lost her accent! But if you try perhaps you can! Where are you from???
Ronnie
I’m Brazilian
Ítalo
Hi Italo, I do not think that you have to try to change your accent, the most important thing is that we use English to communicate and if people understand what you gonna tell them. It is nice if you are perfect, I mean it is nice if you can try the native voice (American or Englis),if not that is still ok, communicative effectiveness is more concerned. I think so and good luck.

Paulla
Hello Ronnie,
nice video, but I have still a question about using “to or for”. Yesterday I saw an English movie where they used the following sentence “It’s very important to me!” Why is “to” used in this case, and not for? I do not see there any kind of exchange. Could I also use “for” in this scentence?
Thanks a lot for your help!
All the best

There is no lesson about on and upon…but upon usually means that you are on top of something. On has many different meanings!

Hi Ronnie
First of all thanks for all your lessons.
There are a few things that I’d like to mention. Some of the examples you’ve showed on this video make think of ‘it depends on the situation’.
For example: I sing for you. (you sing for someone for many different reasons) ok.
Now if someone says: I sing to you. Wouldn’t it be correct as well, simply with a different meaning?
june
Yes! You are correct – it does depend on the situation. Some can use both – there are always exceptions to everything in English – that is why it is so hard to learn!
Ronnie
Thank you! By the way I enjoy watching your lessons, you’re really cool!
june
Thank you so much ,,Ronnie

Hi Ronnie . Again i would like to ask you something relating to comprehension skills and composition skills . Can ya tell me how can i improve my these fields cuz ya know my exams are near so please quickly tell me . It will be a pleasure for ya to help .
Rawail
For listening you should try to listen to English tv shows with subtitles, and English music with the lyrics. Also it is not important to know EVERY word someone says – just the main words – your brain should be able to think about what the person has said!
For writing – I suggest you write a little in English everyday!

It’s is very useful for me.
I have learnt a lot.

ladiegrl02
Hello, Ronnie. I want to thank you for your lesson. But I still have one question to ask you. What is correct: “It’s important for me or to me?”
Once I asked my American penpal, and he replied that “It’s important to me” is correct. But, after watching this video I thought myself that he was wrong. Am I right or wrong? Thank you.
Arailym
It depends on the context – if you use for or to. Ex…Water is important for me (to live). Dogs are important to me (because I like them).
English is very confusing and it is difficult for me to give you a concrete answer/example.
I think that we use “important for me” when it affects our life – health, education, etc.
“important for me” is more of your opinion on how much you value something.
Ronnie
Wow ?
Remasateq
you are wonderful and your lesson super. i have one question.
I and my friend washed the clothes.
I and my friend are washed the clothes. which one is correct sentences.
vita
Hello, Vita. I and my friend washed the clothes is correct, because the second sentence does not make sense. The first sentence is grammatically correct(past simple)

Hi dear teacher! Your hair is perfect today! Well, I´m here to thank youthe lesson. You made it FOR me! I always confuse these words! Can I make you a question? When I was a child I learned a song: “Hello my dear teacher, how are you? I´m me so very happy TO say hello TO you.” Is the use of TO correct here? I´d like to know to teach my students!You´re in my heart! Celia!
Sally S
Yes, the use of “to” in the song is correct! It should be I’m so very happy – not I’m me so very happy.
You should say “Can I ask you a question”…not can I make you a question!!!!
Ronnie
Thank you! I´m so glad to receive your repply!!! I´m your real fan! I´ll never forget this day!!! Kisses fom Brazil!
Sally S
Thanks Ronnie, its a useful lesson.
Kindly guide me, the use of “have” and “have been”….

Great!!! but i have a doubt: For example, Peter can´t talk and he must do a very important presentation, so i am very nice with Peter and i talk with Peter: “Peter, i am going to talk FOR you in the presentation…” so, is it possible use FOR in that case? Thanks!!!!
jserey
Yes, in that case. for means in place of!

emily
ronnie i do understand the tenses, but why it is very difficult for me to compose a perfect grammar.can you make a sample for the cardinal 12 tenses.tnx a lot
emily
thanks alot …. its really useful even i had this doubt for long days now it got over
suba
i was writing to one of my friends i i put: you are a very special person for me but then i was thinking if is not also correct to say: you are a very important person for me!! which one is wrong and which one is correct? in this kind of sentences what are the rules in the usage of to and for?
marlon
sorry i put the same i was trying to ask is it also correct to say this sentence in this two ways: she is very important to me or she is very importat for me thats my question
marlon
In this case, you DO NOT need to put “for me” or “to me” because YOU said the words!
All you need to say is = “You are very important”! The listener/reader will already understand that is it for her!!!!
Ronnie
you are great techer ever!!!!
Abdullah
Hi Ronnie
Thanks for this class, you’re so funny, l like that, a feel more confortable to learn.

what a magnificant website and what an amazing teachers! i explored it yet and i really loved it. i have a lot of questions =) one is that already, when do you english speakers use ‘a lot of’ and ‘lots of’? can you explain?
berkin
We should say “a lot of” but we are lazy when we speak so we say “lotsa” Ex. I have lotsa homework.
We say this instead of saying much/many!
Ronnie
nice to meet you RONNIE
berk
hello..tnx for the video..it really helps me a lot..but could you help me when it comes to in and on? for example, i say ” i beleive in you ” should i use on insted of in? or what? im confused whether to choose on or in..plss help me here is my email..kianochino@ymail.com ty ^^
kiano
You cannot say I believe on you! “I believe IN you”, we can only use for things that may not be real like Santa Claus or God.
If we talk about regular people, we say “I believe you”!
Ronnie
Hi Ronni,
Adrian here, from Romania
I’m a little bit confused about your explanation. There’s a song “I believe in you” by Kylie Minogue. What does she mean?
Thank you kindly!
adrianrusu
It means that she believes that the person she is singing about is a good person and can do anything they want to!
Ronnie
Thank you for replay Ronnie.
So, if we talk about regular people, we can also say “I believe IN you”
adrianrusu
Thank you for the reply, Ronnie.
So, if we talk about regular people, we can also say “I believe IN you”
I like your teaching style. Good luck!
adrianrusu
Yes you can say that! It is very encouraging!
Ronnie
It’s clear to me now. Thank you for the reply.
adrianrusu
awesome!!!!!! you are the best!!!
Carolina
hi, i’m an english teacher from Brazil and my students are still having a hard time understanding the difference between To and For, how can i explain “i have a test for next week” it’s not really a benefit, and also ” i want to go out for dinner and we went out to dinner” that’s confusing to/for them, i know the difference but they don’t see it. Is there a better way to clear that up?
karol
“i have a test for next week” is wrong. You need to say I have a test next week.
i want to go out for dinner and we went out to dinner = this is an example in which English grammar has many many rules and these rules are broken or do not apply to EVERYTHING. Tell you students that….. It will help them ….Don’t think about the grammar too much – it will make you and your students crazy …… sometimes there is no logical explanation for English!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ronnie
THANKS mam .I am greatly thankful to you
MOHSAN
thank u ma’am…
gracieman18
hello ronnie…i really like your teaching you are a great teacher who injects the lessons to students in a easy way….
I have a doubt ‘English is piece of cake to/for me’ which is correct to or for..plz correct the sentence & correct my mistakes in this msg…
thank you
van
You don’t need to say either “to or for me” – because you are the speaker, I already know YOU think it is easy.!
Ronnie
very useful! thanx for making it simple to understand.God Bless Ms. Ron
jamela
ok! dimitra from greece
and…
actually the “to” in greece means “για” and it shows purpose
while the “for” does not mean “για” and it cannot be translated i english exactly and clearly
so we learn it knowing the correct syntax.
thank u!
demi

hi teacher, can you tell me about “consonant”. i mean how to use “a” and “an” and the in sentence.
and i am confuse about sentences. i mean how to make a sentences. can you help me?
Malik
When you have a word that starts with a vowel – A E I O U Y or has a vowel sound “honour”, you have to use “an”.
All the other letters are consonants BCDFGHJKLMNPQRSTVWXYZ, you need to use “a”.
Ronnie
hiiiii teacher,
Your teaching style is so simple. i learned so many things from this video.. Could you explain the difference between of and for.
thanks a million.
Sarat
Of= belonging to something – King of Spain. House of Blood.
For= to be given to someone. “This flower is for you.”
Ronnie
Ronnie you`re the best!!
Please tell me, how I should say
It was very stressful for her or It was very stressful to her??

jorgejunior
Hi .
I like your teaching style; I think you’re an excellent communicator.
I was watching your lesson, when you were explaining the different between To vs. For.
The rule you’ve given ( transfer- To, benefit-For).it may only work for few cases, I would suggest that just to be on the safe side, you should mention that there are lots of verbs which are always followed by “to” Talk, Speak, Go, Listen,…………..
And we shouldn’t forget about the “Infinitive of Purpose”. “I switched my pc to listen to your lesson” I think the beginners should be told these rules which I’ve suggested at their early learning stage.
George Rabadi
very clear! hard topic for us (Argentinos)…thanks so much for helping us!
adriana rodriguez
Hi Ronnie,
Why “to” is not used in the following sentence?
I’m leaving for Japan today
According to you video, we should use “to” (I’m leaving to Japan today) here because we are carrying our body to Japan :-)
Why “for” is used instead of “to” in the above mentioned scenario… plz explain to me.
Merci
subusan
When you use the verb leaving, you can’t use “to”.
You can say I am going to Japan today……..I don’t know the reason why some verbs need different words…Just unexplainable English grammar rules!!
Ronnie
I heard somewhere that after GO always goes TO, and after LEAVE always goes FOR. Ex”I am going to Paris” or “I’m leaving for Paris”. Perharps, it’s easy to remember.)

hi Ronnie,i have a question. i bought it for you or i bought it to you. which one is correct? normally we say i bought it for you.but according to your explanation for means a benefit. so how can we use “for” for this sentence because there is no any benefit for other person. just buy something only. thanks amani

Hi Roni,
This videos are very useful and they are great.I am confused with the 3rd question(Bob gave a gift — Furgus). Isn’t that gift a benefit to Fergus??? please help me out with this.
thanx
Dimmy
Yes, you are correct a gift can be a benefit but it is the TRANSFERRING of the gift (item moves from A to B), that makes us use “to”!
English is very confusing and there are so many “rules” that are not always 100%!
Ronnie
Hi , I come here to say that I’m learning a lot techniques here and your explanation is so clear …. Thank you !!
I’m from Brazil too <3
Cássia
Dear teacher your the great
please help me for more learning in English language
zahoor
Hello my best teacher Ronnie! First of all i hope you’re doing well.Really i was confused with these two prepositions”to”and”for”,but now the idea of “TRANSFERRING” AND “BENIFIT” will make an end for my confusion.
What will be the right word to use in the following situation? “The excercice was so complicated(for)or (to) me”.Actually i was looking for the any transferring or benifit but i could not.
MR.smart
The exercise was so complicated FOR you.
I think its because FOR here is your opinion (good/bad)??
Ronnie? What do you think?
Tiffany
You don’t need to say FOR or TO… You can just say this lesson was so complicated! You don’t need to/for because I know already it was complicated for you because you said it!
Ronnie
Thank you so much my best teacher Ronnie for your clarification,of course biiiiiiig thank for your sharing too Ms Tiffany,so we can say that there’re many cases we don’t need to use any of them.
MR.smart
Ronnie, nice to meet you :)!
I´m from Brazil but I´m living in Chile due my job and I intend to be here for a long time.
I think you were born TO teach, because you are absolutely easy, clear, dynamic and almost actress. Ah, so beautiful to complete the adjectives! Soul and physical are necessary, right?
Today I was teaching my daughter some lessons of English and it´s was appropriated your lessons mainly about Y and J pronunciations due the problem she has with her Hispanic teachers at her school. Just my two teachers at the college where I´m studying translation from English to Spanish has a perfect speaking, because they have lived in the USA, the rest have a problem to pronounce the words beginning with R,Y and the words as SH, of SHE, SHIP, SHEET, CH etc. It sounds like a TI, you know?
Well, I think you could comment about it if you did not yet.
My best regards to you. God bless you.
Bye,
Marcio
Marcio de Moraes
Wow — that is great that your daughter is learning too — I LOVE TEACHING KIDS!!!!!!!!!
The best way is to get her into English music too!!! I’ve done a lesson on the TH sound.
Best of luck to you and your daughter!!! What is her name?
Ronnie
Hello Ronnie!
Thanks for your kind words. She loves music and me too!
I’ll find the TH later in my house, because in my job the videos are blocked. Her name is Giuliana, original from Italy.
Tomorrow will be my exam and I’m sure that I’ll be take a good mark.
We keep in touch!
Canada is my goal to the future.
Bye,
Marcio
Marcio
Thank you so much for this clear and concise explanation.
What about
“The test was difficult FOR me”
“Smoking is not good FOR you”
That’s not really beneficial… :-) Can we also explain it as something that’s not good as well? I mean, can “FOR” also be used to talk about preferences?
Thank you again!!!
Tiffany
Oops, I think I meant “opinion” instead of preference
Like the test was might have been easy for someone else, but it was difficult for me.
Tiffany
Well, i think it will remain the same situation when you say” the test was difficult” or “the test was difficult for me”,and of course as u’ve said,in the 2nd sentence you’re expressing an opinion,so you can begin with” For me,the test was difficult”.
Once again,we should know that there are some exceptions,and it depends on what the talker focuses on,BENIFIT or TRANSFERRING,For example we can say:”i gave a gift for her”(BENIFIT) and also” i give the gift to her”(TRANSFERRING).
MR.smart
Very nice Dear Madam,
This is new helpful rule that for transfer use “TO” for Good use “For” is i right Madam,
Thanks You Madam for teaching us. Thank Live a Long LIfe i am praying.
Your Slave,
Asad Jillany
mjillany

Ronnie
Respected mam ronnie,

Thankz
sherry
i don’t know how to spek english
amit
Can you please explain :
When to use “FOR” and when to use “OF”
Eg : the objective is to identify the training needs of all the participants
or
The objective is to identify the training needs for all the participants.
Priti
In those sentences, OF and FOR are the same!
Ronnie
This website and these videos are great.
Thank you all!

Thanks a lot.
Explanation is very simple.
Can you please explain the below sentence!
“I’m happy TO help you.”
“I’m happy FOR you”
sairam1090
Help is a verb.
You is a pronoun. You cannot say I am happy to you!

Ahmed
Mrs. Ronnie
very good lesson, and thanks a lot. But! can you please check the following examples it they’re correct or not please:
1- I’m learning English to attain my ambition.
2- I’m study hard for achieving my success.
modi4na3oomi
1=ok – But it is more natural to say I’m learning English to get a good job/so I can live in Canada. (or what ever your ambition is)
2- I’m studying hard to achieve my goals. Or I am studying hard to be successful.
Ronnie
Thanks for reply Mrs. Ronnie
It seems that you’ve used ” to ” for both examples, so are they considered as ” exchange info ” ??
Thanks a lot
modi4na3oomi
Yes!
Ronnie

Hello teacher thanks for the lesson
Ali did a great job for me.
JOhn gave a nice present to Juli.
They go to library for reading informative books.
I visit EngVId for learning English.
could you please check these sentences and another thing you did an example
Bon gave a gift to Fergus.
suppose if Bon gives some one else for Fergus. can we use
Bon gave a gift for Fergus.
thanks

Ali did a great job for me.
JOhn gave a nice present to Juli.

I visit EngVId to learn English.
Bon gave a gift to Fergus.
You can never use to/for = verbing.
read and learn is a transfer of information = to
suppose if Bon gives some one else for Fergus. can we use
Bon gave a gift for Fergus = this is wrong. You would have to say “Someone else gave a gift to Fergus, from Bon.”
Your other sentences are very good! Great work!
Ronnie
thanks that was pretty helpful
akmajs
Thank you very much T- Ronnie .

you are the best .
hasan
First of all, thanks a bunch for making such clear videos, they certainly help a lot!
I have a doubt… How do I explain the use of TO in sentences like “happy birthday TO you”? Do we use it because we are “tranfering” or “sending” wishes to the other person?
Thanks!
Luna
Yes, because you are sending wishes to someone!!! Great observation!
Ronnie
hey ronnie i need your help , i am not able to solve cloze passages type fill in the blanks which usually come in GMAT section

how can I learn paragraph, I’m so confused from paragraph
dani187
How about these sentences :
1) He was really nice TO us.
2)She’s responsible FOR this whole mess.
Could you explain that ? Thanks!
lekocoutinho
When we use the word nice we cannot say “He was nice for us”. We must use TO!
Also, you cannot say responsible to = we have to use responsible for! Sorry I cannot explain WHY – it is just English grammar rules!
Ronnie
I got it!
lekocoutinho
Hello Ronnie, can you explain to me the diference between “That and What” .

Adnan Siddique
hello maam, it was a pleasure to watch this video. now it is clear to me the differnce btwn to and for.. i have a question. when we give smbdy a card or any other gift, we write on it ‘to bob’ or smthng like that. it is a kind of trasfer,but it does him good also like he feels happy to get it. it may be a type of beneficial. so why don’t we wrte ‘for bob’? plz tell me..thnk u..
afroza
You can write either for or to!
Ronnie
Thank you so much for this lesson.
I had this problem between TO/FOR…. for long time but now I can understand.
This web site is amazing and you are so funny.
Thanks again
Mariela
Hai teacher,
i like your way of teaching… i learn a lot from you. i want to speak english perfectly. how can i improve? can you teach me about “have been”.
“would you like to have a cup of coffee” is it correct?
if there is any mistakes please correct me..
thank you teacher. god bless you
deeksha
“Would you like to have a cup of coffee”. Yes! This is correct!
Have been = present perfect. Search Engvid for “present perfect”.
Ronnie
Parts Of Speech
Every name is called a noun As field and fountain, street and town; In place of noun the pronoun stands, as he and she can clap their hands; The adjective describes a thing, as magic wand or bridal ring; the verb means action, something done to read and write, to jump and run; How things are done the adverbs tell, as quickly, slowly,badly,well; the preposition shows relation, as in the street or at the station;conjunctions join in many ways, sentences , words, or phrase and phrases; The interjection cries out ,Hark! I need an examination mark.

Great RONNIE,
I loved this lesson. I really need to learn about more preposition such as:
ON, IN, AT,UPON, OVER, SINCE, FOR, INTO, UP, DOWN, BENEATH, TILL,
Search the site for “prepositions”, there are already lessons for you!
Ronnie
thanks a lot! :) I’m enlightened.. :)

Ronnie
Ronnie thank you very much for your explanation and the lesson. I’m learning a lot! I’d like to ask you to prepare a lesson with real Enlish ’cause I don’t understand a native speaker very well! How to lern with movies or songs? Please, help me!!!!
Thanks again!
Rosangela
When you watch a movie in English, watch it with Portuguese subtitles – this way you can study listening and pronunciation!
With music, listen and read the lyrics (words) to the song!
Ronnie
what is the correct use
“dedicated to or for”
maurice
dedicated to
Ronnie
Ronnie thank you very much for your explanation and the lesson. You are very good teacher.
floryluna
Thank you
floryluna
hi,
how are you? which is the correct usage?
(1) Proceed further in processing the job offer letter
(2) Proceed further for processing the job offer letter.
I feel that (2) is correct.. what is your opinion on this?
thanks
subusan
I would say proceed further to process the job offer letter. To use to of for depends on the situation – if you are physically moving to process it , you would say #2. If it was not a physical movement, I would use #1.
Ronnie
Thanks for sharing.
“Looks good to me” is correct but how to explain not to use “Looks good for me” based on the explanation?
YE
Looks good to me is your opinion of something.
Ronnie
thank you, its now more clear for me about the diff. of to and for,,it really gave me headache in my school) so thanks
hein
Hi,Ronnie!My name is Dima.I’m from coooold Russia.Do you like a vodka?=))Ahahah=))So,I have a question.Why did you write “I take my paycheck to the bank.”? Why not “I take my paycheck in the bank.”???I’m so sorry for my poor English

Hello!
I had this grammer problem, but I never thought I would find a page that deals directly with this to & for problem. How cool! good job!
Anyway, I’m still confused with my problem, and I see that you still answer people here, so I figured, why not try?
What do I need to say, basis to or basis for? My context is science (I’m doing a project presentation at my university), but it can be anything.
A simple example: “Math is the basis for physics” or “Math is the basis to physics”? my heart goes with to, it sounds more correct, but I’m not a native english speaker, so I wouldn’t know (I’m from Israel). Thank you so much!
Kushimero
Basis for.
Ronnie
OMG!!!! it was great!!! It will really help me with my class. Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Luissana
What about when you compare…”we are leaving for Berlin” vs. “We are leaving to Berlin” How do you explain to vs. for in that regard. The rule doesn’t seem to apply.
sarah
“We say we are leaving for Berlin” or “We are leaving to go to Berlin”. You are correct, the rule does not work for everything in English!
Ronnie
very nice
zuhaib
Thank’s Ronnie.
Now I understand the usage of To and For.
Great !!! Cheers :)
emputen
I can say I sing for you or I sing to you . and both of these have different meaning. Is it make sense ?
Nader
Yes! I sing to you is directly to one person like Romeo and Juilet…for you is for your enjoyment
Ronnie
I had spent a long time trying to understand the differences between “to and for” and you in no time I clear all my doubts. Thank you very much.
Vicrof
Is it… new “to” me or new “for” me?
Georgette
You don’t need to say “to me” or “for me” if you are the speaker.
Ex. This is new. It is hot. It is difficult. All of these phrases DO NOT need “to/for me” at the end.
You can say “Thats NEWS to me”, when someone tells you something that you didn’t know!
Ronnie
Thanks so much for this lesson
amopollon
thank you so much
first time I see your lesson, it’s great
houssam
hhiii…actually i have confusion between in these sencentes…..i call to him and i call him …which sentence is correct and whats the difference in these sentences…….

Maam ronnie, the video couldn’t play. i think there is something wrong with your video :(( i cant watch :(

English Grammer for spoken english
Bhupendra Jain
It is important to point our that “to” or “for” will depend on the verb attached to it. If the verb is intransitive, then you use “to”. If it is transitive you use “for”. For example, you say “head for” because “head” is a transitive verb. You say “go to”, because “go” is intransitive. If the verb can take an in/transitive form, you can use either one, but the meaning differs. So, “you come to a conclusion” but you can “come for someone”. Sometone mentioned “call to” (which is intransitive), but takes no preposition. The reason is that “call” asks for an object (me, you, him, her, us, etc) and is transitive.
cmart02
Thank you for your lesson, I learned the difference between to and for.I have a question,when I can to use like or as.could you help me????
luahhhh
We use like + noun. Eg… He sings like a bird. This means he sounds like a bird!
We use as + well + as Eg…He sings as well as a bird. This means equal to.
Ronnie
Very good lesson. Thanks!!

Thank you so much.
jucineide
Hi Ronnie,
I didn’t read all the comments, so I apologize if I’ll repeat the same question. I go straight to the point: when can I use “to” and “for” with a verb? For example, can I indifferently use the prepositions “to” and “for” in this sentence: “I go to school TO learn (or FOR learning (?)) english. That’s it. My real problem is to understand (or “understanding”?) the function of prepositions (besides “to” and “for”) with the verbs. Thanks. Bye. Vincenzo
Vincenzo
To help you with more prepositions, search the site for “prepositions”. There are many lessons to help you!
Ronnie
Great job

A good lesson, but I think “for” can also be used for unpleasant things also.
Example: – Here is the doctors bill for you. The police are here for you!
Please correct me if I am wrong.
Best wishes, Eric

Hi Ronnie. Your videos classes are very funny. I love your methodology and i have learned much. Thanks a lot.
afecto2012
This is good demonstration,please tell me more differences
naz
Wow! it’s very useful for me ;). I really like your lesson. Can I ask you a question? I’m confused To and For when they stand at the beginning of a sentence and follow by a pronoun or a noun. With example as shown:
EG. a/ To me,… and For me,…
b/ “To her astonishment, he smiled,”
and “For more information, call this number.”
Sincerely! ;)
Nguyen Anh Minh
Dear Ronnie,
I’ve been searching about ‘ for and to ‘ and your explanation has been the best so far. Do you know if there’s a website which help people to get a Canadian accent ? I know it sounds weird, but i love Canada and i would like to get your accent.
Thanks for the explanation.

Hi Ronnie
As you explained in this lesson, when we do some good for someone in such case ‘for’ is used and ‘to ‘is used for transfer.
I bought a bone for my dog is correct but instead of ‘for’, ‘to’ also fits in the sentence ‘to my dog’ . If no can you please explain me.
Thank you

Thank you mam .This is what i need for.It’s help a lot…
Preth
Thanks a lot
Mohamed
Hi Ronnie,
Thanks for the lesson re to/for.In one word: TO=transferring,exchanging,phrasal verbs with TO,when I say my opinion or what I like or dislike.
FOR= benefit,phrasal verbs with FOR. Am I right?
One more thing:you say that it is not necessary to put to/for me when the speaker says whatever,i agree with you .The problem is that there are a lot of exercises in textbooks where you can choose the prepositions to/for in the sentences and some of them start with “It is important…….me”.or things like this :))and students have to do those exercises:)
Thanks a lot.You are really a very attractive teacher and I “click” on your name quite often:)

Hi Ronnie! Nice to meet you and congratulations for your great explanation. Well, I’m also a Brazilian guy, but not the one that asked you the To and For. :0) Just a comment, wouldn’t the phrase “I sing ____ you.” fit both? I mean, “for” and “to”, once the sing is the same as talking transferring info but in a singed way? Or in other way I sing to you, but not to your sister. Or another phrase… You don’t sing very well, let me sing for you. Hmmmm doubts… :0)
All the best, cheers from Brazil.
lucato
Yes, you can use “to” or “for”. You can sing TO someone (like a serenade)! Also, you can sing FOR someone (you sing for someone’s enjoyment)!
Ronnie
Thx alot Ronnie
soja
teacher, why is ‘sing for’
if we have ‘read to’
isn’t both exchanging info? thanks!
Leonardo
Hi, Ronnie
I heard on the video that you pronunced question like /kwestIən,kwestjən/ or at least it seemed to me (quite clear, though)it was so; my question is basically if I’m right and if so could you please tell me if that pronunciation is from one specific place or is it informal?
Here, in Colombia my teachers pronounce very similar and I’ve always disagreed with that but maybe I’m wrong and they just put into practice what they really heard.
Delenda
Thank you i like very much how you explain it you’re the best!
Bertha
I liked this lesson. She was very important for me.
Adriano
Very helpful. Thanks. One question remains though. I keep hearing on our local transport PA system “this is information to all passengers. …” This always sounds wrong to me (I think it should be “for passengers”). Is there something about whether a noun is followed by a noun (other than a pronoun) or a verb (as well as the benefit issue)? viz “this is information to help passengers” vs “this is information for passengers”? I ask not just because I’m irritated by the PA announcements, but because I spend a lot of informal time with ESOL students trying to help them practise.
Pat
You can use both to or for!
Ronnie
Hi teacher ronnie i just want to ask if my grammar is correct. I’m confused with this two:
Happy day for both of us or Happy day to both of us.
claud
It’s like the song…Happy birthday TO you!!! So…Happy birthday to the both of us!
Ronnie
Very good instructor! I am over 50+ years and have raised 4 children, I know Proficiency when I encounter it. Thank you very much.

Which one is correct?

I have a doubt if we cry in front of somebody and telling that to somebody else, should I say I cried to him/her or I cried near him or something else.
Thanks in advance!
Have a nice day ;)
Nihi
Great lesson! Very clear and easy! Thank you very much, teacher!!!
Elcio
My sentence is still not clearly explained, I think:
This song had a very strong emotional connection for/to me.
Opinion? Please help
Rhetorical
Both for/to me are unnecessary. If you are talking, you don’t need to say either.
But if you want to emphasize, you can say for me.
Ronnie
Golden Ronnie !!!
Khura
Hi Ronnie!!! First you are the best!
I would like to know when I can use for + ing or to + infinitive! I really have issues with that! Pleaseee Help me!!
Viviana
You can say thanks for helping me.
So, FOR +verb+ing.
Or Thanks to help me = NEVER use verb+ing with to! To+base verb is called “infinitive”.
Ronnie
I always had doubts about this two confusing words, but now my doubts are gone!
Thanks Ronnie! I made my life better!!!
=D

Dear Teacher,
Can you please tell me how to use or when to use “That are” and “which are” in sentences. I couldn’t figure out the differences between them.
Bilal
You couldn’t figure out the differences because they are basically the same!
Ronnie
Hi Ronnie!! I’m confused about the difference between DUE TO & BECAUSE OF.

Thanks for your lesson on ‘fo’ and ‘for. I am helping students who donot come with English language exposure. Question: We say “I am going to school” or “going to the shop, to the bank” etc. But we donot say “I am going to home”. Why?

3. Grant access for task number 1234 to administrators.

Hi Ronnie:
I have a question about: I sing __ you. In your vedio , the answer is for.But I have question about 2 situation. ex:
1.I sing a birthday song __ you.
For means I sing a birthday song “for” you to hear.
2.I sing a birthday song__you.
Can I use “to” express some kind of “direction” meaning? Just like: I sing a birthday song “directly to” you. Hope you could understand my question after so many sentences, ha. Thanks a lot.
Bruce
Hi Ronnie ,
I have question about the sentence: I sing “for” you. Could I use I sing a song to you to express the “direction” of my song(my voice) is to sing
directly to you? Can you explain this to me ?
Thanks a lot.
bruce777

frankkido
Ronnie you are such a good teacher, I wish ( seriously ) you were in my country and in my english class, because I am pretty sure that I will learn A LOOOOT FROM YOU !! .. I wish YOU could help me with this — > I dont understand HOW and WHEN use this ” NEITHER __ NOR ” I wish u could help me.
“Nor” is not used a lot in conversational English. You don’t see it a lot in written English either (see what I did there?). It’s like “or”, but used with negatives like “neither” and “not”. So
– Rebecca has not done a lesson on “either”
– Emma has not done a lesson on “either”
becomes “Neither Rebecca nor Emma have done lessons on ‘either’.”
In casual English, though, “neither Rebecca or Emma” is okay.

Hi Ronnie! first of all I would like to say that your teaching style is awesome, I love it, the way you succeed in capturing the attention of everyone—or at least mine!
now, I need an approval from u. I think in the sentence “I will do that_____you”. we can use both, TO & FOR. The usage depends on situation or context. What do you think?
Aleesh
Hi Ronnie,i just wannna say i like the way you teach us.um,also the lessons that you teached were helpful.

Hi, Ronnie!
If that’s possible, I know this lesson was left a long time ago, but that’s the 1st time that i’m watching it. I’m really doubted about he usage of the usage of the prepositions “on” and “at”, but I’m not talking about their basic meanings. When I read a text published by a E. Native speaker i look at them over many times, before sentences, actions and some expressions. Whatever is the sentence they’re ever there. Why are they exactly used to generally?
Thank u!
Mateus Borges
thanks you for lesson

Hi Ronnie you’re a great teacher! Thanks for helping us about English language.
I have two doubts: About quiz sentence 3 ” Bob gave a gift to Fergus” Wouldn’t be for Fergus? It’s a gift right? I’m benefiting someone?
And in your video class the sentence “I sing for you” I’m suppose exchange information as ” I talk to someone” isn’t it? So why I don’t use to?
Thanks a lot :)

Hello there Ronnie!
I had a situation in class yesterday around this subject and I’d like to check with you. My student received an e-mail asking if was ok with him to go out for a business dinner in a certain night and the doubt was around how he could answer it, if he should use: “for me is fine” or “to me is fine”. I told him neither options I would use “with me it is fine”, instead. And then I got myself thinking about it and what about if I use: “as for me it is ok” can please help me in these one, please? thanks,

Hi Ronnie, I have a question about “for” and “to”.
3. Bob gave a gift _____ Fergus.
Why this sentence use “to”? I thought the gift is benefit for Fergus, I am a little confused .
Fannie
I Check this sentence on website, I think why use “to” because “give”, that means transfer. If use “buy”, it should be use “for”. Am I right, Ronnie?

hi ronnie
i’d like to know why i have to use “to” with this question at the quiz (Bob gave a gift _____ Fergus) isn’t it something good for anyone to have a gift?
Abdelrahman
Hi Ronnie, I’m living in the UK, but I still confused in some cases. For example, I often hear “This bus is for Camden Town”. Which is completely against what you described here… I am not a native speaker, obviously, and I can’t decide that the guy who says that is actually using the langue in a bad way. Or in some cases it’s acceptable to use “for” for directions… Or I’m in the woods, and I misinterpreted the situation.
roki68
True!!! I have been to UK and on the train they often say: This train leaves for ______. Confusing….

Hi Ronnie. I’m from Brasil,and your lessons are helping me a lot. You are a very good teacher. I would like to know if there is a space where we can talk. I would like to practice my pronunciation. Thank you a lot.

“I sing for you” has about 389,000 results in the Google search. “I sing to you” has about 430,000 results. So, singing is more ‘transfer’ than ‘benefits” :-)
I guess, in most cases, both ‘for’ and ‘to’ might be correct depends on meaning.
ssmirnov
thx for this lesson, Ronnie.
now I can know to use “for’ and ‘to’.

Great lesson!
1:04 – the word “benefit” is used. A tip for the viewers — in English, words that start with “ben” or “bon” usually mean something good!

Following To = transfer and for = benefits…
Many people told me this sentence is correct: “We are leaving in January for New York”, but I think that following your explanation should be “to”. We are transfering our bodies to New York. Except if I analyze this sentence as we are LEAVING for New York which give me an idea that it is a benefit?

I have been studying English at EngVid since March, 2022 and now we are in Jun, 2022. I have planned on watching almost each video here in beginner level at first in order to evolve my listening skills as I focused on just reading and spelling in the past.
I’d start focusing on speaking skills at the end of 2022.
I’m writing this as a way to find a fruitful language partnership to enhance my speaking skills in the future as it’s possible that someone would like to read this in the coming months from now.
My priority is an academic and formal English as I need English to develop myself scientifically and in career aspect at first.
Kindly feel free to talk to me whenever you read this and whatever a reason might be, I’m excitedly interested in exchanging knowledge and experience.
You’ll know how to reach me once you click on my picture here besides this comment.
I have started to number videos I watch here, and this is the fourteenth one. Hopefully I can reach more than 1000 as soon as possible.

Thanks Ronnie, you really help me>
I take in this quiz 5/5
Thanks a lot.
Thank you
in which cases we use will, gonna, Shall and going to
Watch my lesson on will and going to on the site.
“Shall” is very old-fashioned and British English — we rarely use shall in North America!
Hope that helps — Good luck!
Ms. Ronnie How about the sentence. happy birthday TO you and flowers FOR you..
Hi Ronnie, why Bob gave a gift _____ Fergus. is a benefit to Fergus but not use “for”?
transfering\exchange something
Thank you… Ronnie you are my favorite teacher.
Could you help me ? I don´t understand de diference between for and By.
can i ask you why wrote the in the beer
Hello Ronnie,
you are awsome because I am learning from you to much.could you please explain different between get and take? and also, is it OK to say mam to a young lady or not,I mean in what situation saying mam is OK?
Get means to receive . Eg… “I get my paycheck every Friday.” “I get a gift on my birthday.” “I get a cold in the winter.”
Take means you actively grab/reach/transport something. “I take a cookie from the bag.” “I take the salt and put it on my food.” “I take my paycheck to the bank.”
Mam is a very formal way of addressing a lady. If you worked in an expensive restaurant or retail shop you would call a lady “mam”. However, in everyday situations, it is much too formal. You can just say young lady or girl, but it is best to call people by their first name in a casual situation!
I hope that helps you!
Thanks for commenting and good luck!
perfect,it was really helpful,
thank you
Hi teacher,
I have a question for you. What sentence is correct
I was late to class today, or I was late for class today.
Hello.I think neither of them.For me like that:I was late from class today.It’s correct,or i made a mistake?
I’m going to give my girlfriend a gift for her birthday
This lesson has solved my confusing before !!
Thanks so much:X:X
The explanation was fantastic……….
Teacher you are great, Such a wonderful English teacher I have been learning a lot with you, Thanks. You are fun and fantastic.

Dear,
I love your lessons and the way you explain them . I am also a Teacher in Brazil and my students love your lessons. Actually you have helped my classes too much to illustrate all the subjects I use to teach. Thanks, honey. You are superb!
halo ronnie. i have a question to ask concerning the usage of “to” n “for”.
which one is the correct one?
a. This book is a gift to you.
b. This book is a gift for you.
thanks beforehand.
b) Usually if it is a gift, we use for you!
what should i use- Don’t forget to invite me to\for your marriage.
To
hi thanks you so much , for all this lesson really this lesson give power for speak with people .
Hi, thanks for the useful lessons. Isn´t it possible to say both. I will sing to you and aslo for you —in the second case in the meaning: as a “gift”? Thanks a lot and bye, Lenka
Hi!! I have a silly question… ok TO is used as transfer or exchange of something, in the expression “Happy birthday TO you…” what do you trasfer/exchange?
Thak for answer :)
thank you……………………
Great! Keep up the good work!
Hello Ronnie,,,thanks for the explanations,, it’s cool, thanks
And I would like to ask you, what is the differen between Realised and Realized, they are really bothering my mind,
thank you my teacher :)
Hello Cristal99,
Before, I had the same problem with you, I can’t not distinct: realise – realize, recognise – recognize, etc. Although realise is a British spelling and realize is a American spelling, they have same meaning. Hope it’s helpful.
Muopmap,
hello Muopmap,,, thanks for your kindness and told me about that, so no mattter which one we use both are coqqect :) now I got ht, thanks
Both are correct but is you want to use proper UK english it’s better to use Realise and Recognise, many words have been spelled differently to make it easier for Americans to spell them for example, Americans spell Center, the correct UK English is Centre, Americans spell Meter, UK Metre.
Both versions are ok to use but only the UK version is true proper English so you need to decide if you just want to use English generally or if it is important for you to know the most proper form of English?
hehe I meant to say > If you want to use proper English, I may speak English but my typing is not so good.
Hey, there is no “most proper form of English”! English may have originated in the UK, but that doesn’t mean British English is “more correct” than American or Canadian English. You can’t use text-speak spelling in a school essay, and formal business English would be out of place at a party—but we teach people about the rules and phrases particular to each of these contexts. Similarly, if someone asks about UK vs. US English, it’s enough to say “This is a British usage” or “It’s only spelled this way in America”!
(By the way, we’re based in Canada, which blends US and UK spelling: “cheque” and “metre”, but “recognize” and “practice”.)
You said > “English may have originated in the UK, but that doesn’t mean British English is “more correct” than American or Canadian English”.
If you read my comment I also said either version is ok to use? But if someone wants to learn Proper english (UK) they are better to learn and use the UK version, after all if you’re learning from zero it’s just as easy to learn the Original proper version as it is to learn the adapted versions?
And yes maybe text speak etc may be accepted in some situations many people may need to pass an exam to allow them entry into the UK and they will need to score high to succeed and their spelling and grammar will be very important.
I have a friends here in northern Ireland who married a woman from Mexico, she has had to sit the exam recently and it’s very strict, So as I said, depending on your reason for learning English it can matter which version you learn to use, the situation will make it more or less important to use proper UK English or not? Thanks for your reply, I’m sure both our points are valid depending on the situation.
Corrections for my own comment,I said I have a friends, should have been a friend, I don’t type as well as i speak, opps
The only difference is one is North American spelling and the other is British!
Excellent . Thank you very much : )
thank you very much i like your lessons. wish you good luck.
Ronnie, you are spectacular. I like a lot you. But I am unhappy because you do not want talk with me on skype ou by e-mail. I invited you many time and you do not answer me

Hi Alex, thank you very much for you explanation on the Ordering of Adjective, yet I still not understand the adjective the say about Material and Purpose. If possible could you please make the new video about the words that talk about the adjective, thanks very much again.
Thanks for learn.It’s great lesson.
Hello…Thanks for these useful lessons..!!!
Can I use “to” or “for” depending on the meaning I want to convey..? I came across this two sentences: “I wrote the letter for you” and “I wrote the letter to you”.. and according to the explanation, in the first sentece “for” implies that I wrote the letter instead of you maybe because you were not able to or for any other reason… and in the second one, “to” implies that the letter is for you and for nobody else…
Thank you for lesson
It is very useful
Hello again…
Could you please explain the difference between: Hope, Expect and Wait..? Thanks…
Hope is similar to wish — it is almost not possible but something you want/wish to happen! I hope I win the lottery!
Expect is something that you think should indeed happen. You expect that I will answer your email.
Wait is a time phrase. I am waiting for your answer.
According to your explanation, could you please tell me if this sentence is ok..?
I hope you don´t expect me to wait for you
Yes, that is correct!
Why is that correct? I can’t see neither transfer or benefit!
Great explanation Ronnie; simple + efficient !
many thanks.
Thank you very much! This lesson is going to help me a lot!!
is a very useful information
thank you for this lesson …this is very easy for me n effective..:)

Hello Ronnie,The explanation was very good and easy to learn ,i will never forget it,Thanks!!
Thanks a lot Ronnie, I learned long with this video.
Thank you for your assistance.
thank’s a lot
Nice Lesson
hello, Ronnie, I like your teaching method very much. It is easy to understand the usage as well as the tenses used. However, It is quite pity that I am unable to access to the quiz. Please guide me how can I access to the quiz. Appreciate that I could get reply from you. Thank you. Have a nice day! bye!
Please make sure you have the latest version of your browser. Some people with old versions of Firefox are having trouble with the quizzes.
Thabks Ronnie . I have a question : in this sentence why don’t wa have agreement in this sentence between subject and verb” a friend quiz you”
” a friend quiz you” This sentence is wrong. You can say “A friend quizzes you” (present tense) or “A friend quizzed you.” (past tense) If you do that, then there is subject-verb agreement!
Hi Ronni
ur way of teaching is nice and clear. I’d like to know, why I can’t understand what the english native speaker exactly talk about, especialy when they speak long and quickly. how can I improve my listerning ability
The first thing is don’t try to comprehend EVERY word the person is saying – if you can get even a few words, you may be able to understand what the person is trying to say! When I lived in Japan, I didn’t understand what the people were saying but I could get a few words and be able to piece together the information!
Body language is a great help too – look at the speakers face and eyes – you can tell by the person’s expressions their emotions!
It is difficult too because we use a lot of slang (esp. young people). You should try to learn slang and idioms!
If the person is talking to you, just ASK them what they meant! It is a great way to communicate with people and perhaps they will use different words that you DO understand!
The last thing is just listen everywhere you are – your brain will absorb it and you will be able to understand! Watch tv shows or movies with English subtitle, and listen to music with words on youtube. The radio is TOO DIFFICULT; they speak too fast and use too much slang!
Good luck!
Hello my best teacher Ronnie.First of all i hope you’re doing well.I have just read this great and simple words you said to explain how can we improve our listening ability,really personally i’ve used the and they’re so so helpful.THANK YOU !
Very useful piece of information, Thanks you teacher Ronnie.

hi,
thnaks for help,
my problam is speking and writaing,plz help me plz plz plz
Dear Ronnie,
There was a mistake the lesson you were teaching here.Here is the link.Will you please check this link again.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QTQb42w7oig&feature=relmfu
Passive–Active
example was:I eat lunch
and your answer was:Lunch was eaten…
But the example that you gave here was The simple tense so Answer should have been passive(simple tense)which is:Lunch is eaten(by me)if the example was tense then your answer would be correct.
which is like:I ate Lunch(Active)
Lunch was eaten by me(Passive)
Thanks….
“Lunch was eaten” is correct and can mean lunch was eaten by a group or by one person, although it would normally be applied to a group as one person would probably say I ate lunch.
Good morning teacher . I agree with everybody said good word for you ,I would like to add one thing ( I like your teaching by using body language )
Thanks
You scored 5 out of 5.
Hai i from malaysia..thank you so much you explain very well..

22222222222,it is near your comment was made.i like naruto very much.hihihi.
This is a great website. Thank you all, for your efforts to help us who still need to learn a lot about the English language.
Hi Ronnie,
Can we use supposed to instead of should? I would be really grateful to u if you can explain to me the different between suppose to be and should. Thanks so much.
thank you so much ronnie. this lesson helped me so much
very very very nice lesson….I LIKED TOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH….
hi mam,
Thanks for explain about this lesson…
Ronnie,
I love watching her class. You are perfect and her pronunciation is easy to understand.
Ronnie , Do You like maths? I would like to one lesson , how to write and pronounced 2+2=4 or 2×3=6. or 6/3=2 Thanks :)
I will try to do that for you!
We say two plus two equals four (2+2=4)
two times three equals six 2×3=6
six divided by 3 equals two6/3=2
how that helps you……..!!
thanks for your video is so helpful
Thank teacher very very much.I am going to try english.
thank you ms.ronnie.. this lesson helped me so much.. thank you… :)
Hi Ronnie
Why not I’m going to talk for you?
Wilber
Lima-Peru
Talking is the transfer of words so we use “to”.
thank you for teaching us..
l like your blink its good for me to smile
thank a lot! im new here. this lesson helps me a lot :)
Ronnie, I started to learn English when I was 12-13… do you think if I move to the U.S.A or Canada or whatever I’ll be able to speak English without a foreign accent? I love you! bye ;)
I doubt it very much as my Gran came from Scotland when she was 8 and never lost her accent! But if you try perhaps you can! Where are you from???
I’m Brazilian
Hi Italo, I do not think that you have to try to change your accent, the most important thing is that we use English to communicate and if people understand what you gonna tell them. It is nice if you are perfect, I mean it is nice if you can try the native voice (American or Englis),if not that is still ok, communicative effectiveness is more concerned. I think so and good luck.
HELLO RONNIE!!!!HOW ARE YOU DOING?IT WAS A VERY USEFUL ENGLISH LESSON.IT HAS BEEN 5 MONTHS SINCE I STARTED LISTENING TO YOUR LESSONS AND I HAVE TO SAY THAT MY ENGLISH HAS IMPROVED A LOT:THANKS RONNIE.I DON’T KNOW HOW TO THANK YOU.YOUR PUPIL___CARLOS

Ronnie!thanks for the lesson… it’s enlightening… i’ve a doubt…which is right either saying “during the tenure or in the tenure”
arjun
India
when to use the words small,little,few ,some
Small and little= size of an object – The dog is small. The child is little.
Few/some = for quantity. I have a few pigs (2-3 pigs). I have some pigs (3+pigs)!
Really mam u give me good way for understand about some English words… Thanks mam..

Hi Ronnie,
Thank you so much for your teaching on To and For. I´m Brazilian too and I can tell you, we have loads of doubts related to prepositions, especially To and For. I think this topic was all covered and I have no more doubts :-) Thanks a million!
Hello Ronnie,
nice video, but I have still a question about using “to or for”. Yesterday I saw an English movie where they used the following sentence “It’s very important to me!” Why is “to” used in this case, and not for? I do not see there any kind of exchange. Could I also use “for” in this scentence?
Thanks a lot for your help!
All the best
Thomas
Hi Ronnie I realy like your lessons, one favour
Could tell me when or how is used: “in”, “at”, “on”
I really like ur teaching. I can`t write alot of for u. so , thanks
This lesson was very helpful for me as a non-english spoken background person. I have got very big advantage from it. But, there is one question for you? is there any previous lesson about on and upon as they are confusing me.
There is no lesson about on and upon…but upon usually means that you are on top of something. On has many different meanings!
smart and beautiful
Thank you, Ronnie!
hi ronnie
i have a nice question for you :)
what does your name mean ?

Hi Ronnie
First of all thanks for all your lessons.
There are a few things that I’d like to mention. Some of the examples you’ve showed on this video make think of ‘it depends on the situation’.
For example: I sing for you. (you sing for someone for many different reasons) ok.
Now if someone says: I sing to you. Wouldn’t it be correct as well, simply with a different meaning?
Yes! You are correct – it does depend on the situation. Some can use both – there are always exceptions to everything in English – that is why it is so hard to learn!
Thank you! By the way I enjoy watching your lessons, you’re really cool!
Thank you so much ,,Ronnie
Hi Ronnie . Again i would like to ask you something relating to comprehension skills and composition skills . Can ya tell me how can i improve my these fields cuz ya know my exams are near so please quickly tell me . It will be a pleasure for ya to help .
For listening you should try to listen to English tv shows with subtitles, and English music with the lyrics. Also it is not important to know EVERY word someone says – just the main words – your brain should be able to think about what the person has said!
For writing – I suggest you write a little in English everyday!
It’s is very useful for me.
I have learnt a lot.
Thanks. ^^
am happy to study eng
thanks Rooni

Hi Ronnie . How can I improve my understanding skills in English ?

hi you are very helpfull thank i love you with all respect thank
thank you,,,im from philippines….this tutorial is very helpfull… =)
Hello, Ronnie. I want to thank you for your lesson. But I still have one question to ask you. What is correct: “It’s important for me or to me?”
Once I asked my American penpal, and he replied that “It’s important to me” is correct. But, after watching this video I thought myself that he was wrong. Am I right or wrong? Thank you.
It depends on the context – if you use for or to. Ex…Water is important for me (to live). Dogs are important to me (because I like them).
English is very confusing and it is difficult for me to give you a concrete answer/example.
I think that we use “important for me” when it affects our life – health, education, etc.
“important for me” is more of your opinion on how much you value something.
Wow ?
you are wonderful and your lesson super. i have one question.
I and my friend washed the clothes.
I and my friend are washed the clothes. which one is correct sentences.
Hello, Vita. I and my friend washed the clothes is correct, because the second sentence does not make sense. The first sentence is grammatically correct(past simple)
Thanx Ronnie!! u are my savior!!
Ty
:D
i realy happy
super
I’m good with this lesson
thank you
u r simply awesome….
Hi dear teacher! Your hair is perfect today! Well, I´m here to thank youthe lesson. You made it FOR me! I always confuse these words! Can I make you a question? When I was a child I learned a song: “Hello my dear teacher, how are you? I´m me so very happy TO say hello TO you.” Is the use of TO correct here? I´d like to know to teach my students!You´re in my heart! Celia!
Yes, the use of “to” in the song is correct! It should be I’m so very happy – not I’m me so very happy.
You should say “Can I ask you a question”…not can I make you a question!!!!
Thank you! I´m so glad to receive your repply!!! I´m your real fan! I´ll never forget this day!!! Kisses fom Brazil!
Thanks Ronnie, its a useful lesson.
Kindly guide me, the use of “have” and “have been”….
Thank you Ronnie.
thank you very much for this lesson.

Hi ma’m Ronnie! Your very generous! Thank you FOR the lesson. But i have a question here, it seems a little irrelevant but i hope you would consider it. When to use believed and believe. Thank you very much!
Believed is past tense. Believe is present tense!
I believed in Santa. I believe in myself!
It’s interesting…we think we know but in the reality we don’t know or we know it wrong…

I am late for work is correct!
Hello Ronnie . . . I hope you are well.
In my opinion, you are the best teacher.
You can clearly explain the grammatical rules to me.
Everything you teach is that absolutely excellent.
I can also understand more English Language every time

شكرا لك
Great!!! but i have a doubt: For example, Peter can´t talk and he must do a very important presentation, so i am very nice with Peter and i talk with Peter: “Peter, i am going to talk FOR you in the presentation…” so, is it possible use FOR in that case? Thanks!!!!
Yes, in that case. for means in place of!
i thanks for you ronne you very weel
Hello! Really? thank u so much for solving my problem. i was completely confused between to and for.well deserved thanks.

Thank you Ronnie, it is powerful lessons
thank you very much yoyr lesson learn alot
Ronnie,i lake you sense of humour,your stile.You make the lasson not only useful but funny too…thank”s
tnank you ,Ronnie for you lesson!!
thanks a lot for you .
Thank you for your lessons..You are so kind
Thank you. This I haven’t understood.
And this sentence: Have you ever been to China?
Have you ever been to China = in your life, did you travel to China!
tnx a lot
ronnie i do understand the tenses, but why it is very difficult for me to compose a perfect grammar.can you make a sample for the cardinal 12 tenses.tnx a lot
thanks alot …. its really useful even i had this doubt for long days now it got over
i was writing to one of my friends i i put: you are a very special person for me but then i was thinking if is not also correct to say: you are a very important person for me!! which one is wrong and which one is correct? in this kind of sentences what are the rules in the usage of to and for?
sorry i put the same i was trying to ask is it also correct to say this sentence in this two ways: she is very important to me or she is very importat for me thats my question
In this case, you DO NOT need to put “for me” or “to me” because YOU said the words!
All you need to say is = “You are very important”! The listener/reader will already understand that is it for her!!!!
you are great techer ever!!!!
Hi Ronnie
Thanks for this class, you’re so funny, l like that, a feel more confortable to learn.
Have fun!!!
Good lesson!! but I still have some questions
Which is right? I know how frustrating is for you or I know how frustrating is to you
Thanks in advance
I know how frustrating is for you
Excellent, specially for mentioning Brazilians!
thanks!! you are good techer
what a magnificant website and what an amazing teachers! i explored it yet and i really loved it. i have a lot of questions =) one is that already, when do you english speakers use ‘a lot of’ and ‘lots of’? can you explain?
We should say “a lot of” but we are lazy when we speak so we say “lotsa” Ex. I have lotsa homework.
We say this instead of saying much/many!
nice to meet you RONNIE
hello..tnx for the video..it really helps me a lot..but could you help me when it comes to in and on? for example, i say ” i beleive in you ” should i use on insted of in? or what? im confused whether to choose on or in..plss help me here is my email..kianochino@ymail.com ty ^^
You cannot say I believe on you! “I believe IN you”, we can only use for things that may not be real like Santa Claus or God.
If we talk about regular people, we say “I believe you”!
Hi Ronni,
Adrian here, from Romania
I’m a little bit confused about your explanation. There’s a song “I believe in you” by Kylie Minogue. What does she mean?
Thank you kindly!
It means that she believes that the person she is singing about is a good person and can do anything they want to!
Thank you for replay Ronnie.
So, if we talk about regular people, we can also say “I believe IN you”
Thank you for the reply, Ronnie.
So, if we talk about regular people, we can also say “I believe IN you”
I like your teaching style. Good luck!
Yes you can say that! It is very encouraging!
It’s clear to me now. Thank you for the reply.
awesome!!!!!! you are the best!!!
hi, i’m an english teacher from Brazil and my students are still having a hard time understanding the difference between To and For, how can i explain “i have a test for next week” it’s not really a benefit, and also ” i want to go out for dinner and we went out to dinner” that’s confusing to/for them, i know the difference but they don’t see it. Is there a better way to clear that up?
“i have a test for next week” is wrong. You need to say I have a test next week.
i want to go out for dinner and we went out to dinner = this is an example in which English grammar has many many rules and these rules are broken or do not apply to EVERYTHING. Tell you students that….. It will help them ….Don’t think about the grammar too much – it will make you and your students crazy …… sometimes there is no logical explanation for English!!!!!!!!!!!!
THANKS mam .I am greatly thankful to you
thank u ma’am…
hello ronnie…i really like your teaching you are a great teacher who injects the lessons to students in a easy way….
I have a doubt ‘English is piece of cake to/for me’ which is correct to or for..plz correct the sentence & correct my mistakes in this msg…
thank you
You don’t need to say either “to or for me” – because you are the speaker, I already know YOU think it is easy.!
very useful! thanx for making it simple to understand.God Bless Ms. Ron
ok! dimitra from greece
and…
actually the “to” in greece means “για” and it shows purpose
while the “for” does not mean “για” and it cannot be translated i english exactly and clearly
so we learn it knowing the correct syntax.
thank u!
Thank you very much! I´m from Brazil. lol
wow what a nice explanation ,,,thanks
Very good explanation!! Thank you so much!! I loved it!

Hi teacher your lessons can be seen by using mobile?
I think so! Just go to the website on your mobile browser!
hi teacher, can you tell me about “consonant”. i mean how to use “a” and “an” and the in sentence.
and i am confuse about sentences. i mean how to make a sentences. can you help me?
When you have a word that starts with a vowel – A E I O U Y or has a vowel sound “honour”, you have to use “an”.
All the other letters are consonants BCDFGHJKLMNPQRSTVWXYZ, you need to use “a”.
hiiiii teacher,
Your teaching style is so simple. i learned so many things from this video.. Could you explain the difference between of and for.
thanks a million.
Of= belonging to something – King of Spain. House of Blood.
For= to be given to someone. “This flower is for you.”
Ronnie you`re the best!!
Please tell me, how I should say
It was very stressful for her or It was very stressful to her??
It was very stressful for her we use if a situation/event caused the stress!
thx:)
thanks teacher,
can you tell me plz how to use “the” and how to make a sentance? thans
Hai Ronnie mam , ur videos helps me alot, ur accent, expression, really it motivates alot thnx.
hi Ronnie mam plz explain me abt tenses?
Very useful.
Thanks!
Hi .
I like your teaching style; I think you’re an excellent communicator.
I was watching your lesson, when you were explaining the different between To vs. For.
The rule you’ve given ( transfer- To, benefit-For).it may only work for few cases, I would suggest that just to be on the safe side, you should mention that there are lots of verbs which are always followed by “to” Talk, Speak, Go, Listen,…………..
And we shouldn’t forget about the “Infinitive of Purpose”. “I switched my pc to listen to your lesson” I think the beginners should be told these rules which I’ve suggested at their early learning stage.
very clear! hard topic for us (Argentinos)…thanks so much for helping us!
Hi Ronnie,
Why “to” is not used in the following sentence?
I’m leaving for Japan today
According to you video, we should use “to” (I’m leaving to Japan today) here because we are carrying our body to Japan :-)
Why “for” is used instead of “to” in the above mentioned scenario… plz explain to me.
Merci
When you use the verb leaving, you can’t use “to”.
You can say I am going to Japan today……..I don’t know the reason why some verbs need different words…Just unexplainable English grammar rules!!
I heard somewhere that after GO always goes TO, and after LEAVE always goes FOR. Ex”I am going to Paris” or “I’m leaving for Paris”. Perharps, it’s easy to remember.)
Thanks a lot it is very easy to remember
This is called collocation though!
Thank you my dear i loved your lessen
im tring to imbruve my english

Hi.
Thank you Ronnie!
Have great day :)
you did a big favor for me… thank you so much
thanks alot roonie
but can you tell me what is the difference between which and who
Search on the site for “relative clauses”….you can find the answer there!
Who is for people, which is for things!
and what do wich and who refer to in the sentences
and what do wich and who refer to in the sentences
Thank you Ronnie for your helpful explanation
The lesson is very useful for me, it’s a benefit for us. wow…God bless u, teacher Ron!
beautiful, thanks a lot
hi Ronnie,i have a question. i bought it for you or i bought it to you. which one is correct? normally we say i bought it for you.but according to your explanation for means a benefit. so how can we use “for” for this sentence because there is no any benefit for other person. just buy something only. thanks amani
GOOD I love it
woa.. miss Ronnie are very awesome in teaching! thanks a lot!
I really appreciate that you take the time to make this videos and explain us the english grammar. You do a great job. Congrats !!
hehe thank you,teacher Ronnie :D
Hi Roni,
This videos are very useful and they are great.I am confused with the 3rd question(Bob gave a gift — Furgus). Isn’t that gift a benefit to Fergus??? please help me out with this.
thanx
Yes, you are correct a gift can be a benefit but it is the TRANSFERRING of the gift (item moves from A to B), that makes us use “to”!
English is very confusing and there are so many “rules” that are not always 100%!
Hi , I come here to say that I’m learning a lot techniques here and your explanation is so clear …. Thank you !!
I’m from Brazil too <3
Dear teacher your the great
please help me for more learning in English language
Hello my best teacher Ronnie! First of all i hope you’re doing well.Really i was confused with these two prepositions”to”and”for”,but now the idea of “TRANSFERRING” AND “BENIFIT” will make an end for my confusion.
What will be the right word to use in the following situation? “The excercice was so complicated(for)or (to) me”.Actually i was looking for the any transferring or benifit but i could not.
The exercise was so complicated FOR you.
I think its because FOR here is your opinion (good/bad)??
Ronnie? What do you think?
You don’t need to say FOR or TO… You can just say this lesson was so complicated! You don’t need to/for because I know already it was complicated for you because you said it!
Thank you so much my best teacher Ronnie for your clarification,of course biiiiiiig thank for your sharing too Ms Tiffany,so we can say that there’re many cases we don’t need to use any of them.
Ronnie, nice to meet you :)!
I´m from Brazil but I´m living in Chile due my job and I intend to be here for a long time.
I think you were born TO teach, because you are absolutely easy, clear, dynamic and almost actress. Ah, so beautiful to complete the adjectives! Soul and physical are necessary, right?
Today I was teaching my daughter some lessons of English and it´s was appropriated your lessons mainly about Y and J pronunciations due the problem she has with her Hispanic teachers at her school. Just my two teachers at the college where I´m studying translation from English to Spanish has a perfect speaking, because they have lived in the USA, the rest have a problem to pronounce the words beginning with R,Y and the words as SH, of SHE, SHIP, SHEET, CH etc. It sounds like a TI, you know?
Well, I think you could comment about it if you did not yet.
My best regards to you. God bless you.
Bye,
Marcio
Wow — that is great that your daughter is learning too — I LOVE TEACHING KIDS!!!!!!!!!
The best way is to get her into English music too!!! I’ve done a lesson on the TH sound.
Best of luck to you and your daughter!!! What is her name?
Hello Ronnie!
Thanks for your kind words. She loves music and me too!
I’ll find the TH later in my house, because in my job the videos are blocked. Her name is Giuliana, original from Italy.
Tomorrow will be my exam and I’m sure that I’ll be take a good mark.
We keep in touch!
Canada is my goal to the future.
Bye,
Marcio
Thank you so much for this clear and concise explanation.
What about
“The test was difficult FOR me”
“Smoking is not good FOR you”
That’s not really beneficial… :-) Can we also explain it as something that’s not good as well? I mean, can “FOR” also be used to talk about preferences?
Thank you again!!!
Oops, I think I meant “opinion” instead of preference
Like the test was might have been easy for someone else, but it was difficult for me.
Well, i think it will remain the same situation when you say” the test was difficult” or “the test was difficult for me”,and of course as u’ve said,in the 2nd sentence you’re expressing an opinion,so you can begin with” For me,the test was difficult”.
Once again,we should know that there are some exceptions,and it depends on what the talker focuses on,BENIFIT or TRANSFERRING,For example we can say:”i gave a gift for her”(BENIFIT) and also” i give the gift to her”(TRANSFERRING).
Very nice Dear Madam,
This is new helpful rule that for transfer use “TO” for Good use “For” is i right Madam,
Thanks You Madam for teaching us. Thank Live a Long LIfe i am praying.
Your Slave,
Asad Jillany
Yes, you are correct!
Respected mam ronnie,
i really appreciate your teaching style as you know that when we see any thing in a friendly way so we pick it very fast and we don’t forget it. your teaching style is just like BRAIN “STORMING”
i wish that your were my english teacher in my homeland.
Thankz
i don’t know how to spek english
Can you please explain :
When to use “FOR” and when to use “OF”
Eg : the objective is to identify the training needs of all the participants
or
The objective is to identify the training needs for all the participants.
In those sentences, OF and FOR are the same!
This website and these videos are great.
Thank you all!
Kisses from France ;)

thank you for your useful lesson. You explain so interesting. Your lesson is so understandable.
For me you’re the best teacher of ENGVID.
Thanks a lot.
Explanation is very simple.
Can you please explain the below sentence!
“I’m happy TO help you.”
“I’m happy FOR you”
Help is a verb.
You is a pronoun. You cannot say I am happy to you!
Hi Ronnie, it’s great & helpful.
Hi Ronnie,
Hope you are fine there!
Could you please provide more objective questions about “to and for lesson”. I presume that you would pride this detail by shortly.
Warm Regards,
Mohammed Shahith (India)
thank you very much. it is really helpful

is it rigth? ‘ it is just for men’ plz ronnie explain it
Mrs. Ronnie
very good lesson, and thanks a lot. But! can you please check the following examples it they’re correct or not please:
1- I’m learning English to attain my ambition.
2- I’m study hard for achieving my success.
1=ok – But it is more natural to say I’m learning English to get a good job/so I can live in Canada. (or what ever your ambition is)
2- I’m studying hard to achieve my goals. Or I am studying hard to be successful.
Thanks for reply Mrs. Ronnie
It seems that you’ve used ” to ” for both examples, so are they considered as ” exchange info ” ??
Thanks a lot
Yes!
hey
can u explain the use of would and could
Hey – OK!
Hey Ronnie! You are awesome! It s so funny to learn english with you. You have to come to Argentina to try our beer! :) Besos

La última pregunta es una contadicción porque debería ser al revés. Pero bueno, la mentalidad suyacía ahí.
Muchas gracias por tu clase.

Hello teacher thanks for the lesson
Ali did a great job for me.
JOhn gave a nice present to Juli.
They go to library for reading informative books.
I visit EngVId for learning English.
could you please check these sentences and another thing you did an example
Bon gave a gift to Fergus.
suppose if Bon gives some one else for Fergus. can we use
Bon gave a gift for Fergus.
thanks
Ali did a great job for me.
JOhn gave a nice present to Juli.

Bon gave a gift to Fergus.
You can never use to/for = verbing.
read and learn is a transfer of information = to
suppose if Bon gives some one else for Fergus. can we use
Bon gave a gift for Fergus = this is wrong. You would have to say “Someone else gave a gift to Fergus, from Bon.”
Your other sentences are very good! Great work!
thanks that was pretty helpful
Thank you very much T- Ronnie .
before I listen to your vedio , I was big confuess when use to – for , but know Iam ok .
– I hope that you are here to give you apresent .
– I hope that you are here so to bay agift for you .
you are the best .
First of all, thanks a bunch for making such clear videos, they certainly help a lot!
I have a doubt… How do I explain the use of TO in sentences like “happy birthday TO you”? Do we use it because we are “tranfering” or “sending” wishes to the other person?
Thanks!
Yes, because you are sending wishes to someone!!! Great observation!
hey ronnie i need your help , i am not able to solve cloze passages type fill in the blanks which usually come in GMAT section
Sorry, I do not understand your question.
Hi Ronnie! Your video was a big help! Can you recommend me some other online tests to practice to/for? Thank you very much!
Sorry, I don’s know any! Just google online english tests.
Ronnie I appreciate all the time that you put on every single video. Your efford, your teaching.. You’re Amazing, Don’t let us fall, keep teaching us as you usually do. Your humble work makes a huge difference to each single person in here. For us trying to learn a new language is a big challenge.. TEACHERS! Thanks for all your hard work… I’m still learning… Bonne Chance, À tout à l’heure.. :)

http://www.engvid.com/prepositions-of-place-at-on-in-grammar/
I want ask u some thing Ronnie
how can I learn paragraph, I’m so confused from paragraph
How about these sentences :
1) He was really nice TO us.
2)She’s responsible FOR this whole mess.
Could you explain that ? Thanks!
When we use the word nice we cannot say “He was nice for us”. We must use TO!
Also, you cannot say responsible to = we have to use responsible for! Sorry I cannot explain WHY – it is just English grammar rules!
I got it!
Hello Ronnie, can you explain to me the diference between “That and What” .
Thanks
Patricia
What is a question.
That is a pronoun and an adjective.
thanks a lot Miss
I’m really happy I found this website. You have the best way to teach, by the way I have a question.
Notes TO/FOR myself.
A reminder TO/ FOR myself.
I really appreciated your help.
You can use both to/for in both!
Hi, Ronnie, how are you hope you are fine well while speaking i confuse in two things first one where i used the with and where i used for and to as well so describe it all the things for me and 2nd one is where is use have??????
hello maam, it was a pleasure to watch this video. now it is clear to me the differnce btwn to and for.. i have a question. when we give smbdy a card or any other gift, we write on it ‘to bob’ or smthng like that. it is a kind of trasfer,but it does him good also like he feels happy to get it. it may be a type of beneficial. so why don’t we wrte ‘for bob’? plz tell me..thnk u..
You can write either for or to!
Thank you so much for this lesson.
I had this problem between TO/FOR…. for long time but now I can understand.
This web site is amazing and you are so funny.
Thanks again
Hai teacher,
i like your way of teaching… i learn a lot from you. i want to speak english perfectly. how can i improve? can you teach me about “have been”.
“would you like to have a cup of coffee” is it correct?
if there is any mistakes please correct me..
thank you teacher. god bless you
“Would you like to have a cup of coffee”. Yes! This is correct!
Have been = present perfect. Search Engvid for “present perfect”.
Parts Of Speech
Every name is called a noun As field and fountain, street and town; In place of noun the pronoun stands, as he and she can clap their hands; The adjective describes a thing, as magic wand or bridal ring; the verb means action, something done to read and write, to jump and run; How things are done the adverbs tell, as quickly, slowly,badly,well; the preposition shows relation, as in the street or at the station;conjunctions join in many ways, sentences , words, or phrase and phrases; The interjection cries out ,Hark! I need an examination mark.

I am looking forward to spring break.
Ronnie thank you very much for your explanation and the lesson. I’m learning a lot! I’d like to ask you to prepare a lesson with real Enlish ’cause I don’t understand a native speaker very well! How to lern with movies or songs? Please, help me!!!!
Thanks again!
When you watch a movie in English, watch it with Portuguese subtitles – this way you can study listening and pronunciation!
With music, listen and read the lyrics (words) to the song!
what is the correct use
“dedicated to or for”
dedicated to
Ronnie thank you very much for your explanation and the lesson. You are very good teacher.
Thank you
hi,
how are you? which is the correct usage?
(1) Proceed further in processing the job offer letter
(2) Proceed further for processing the job offer letter.
I feel that (2) is correct.. what is your opinion on this?
thanks
I would say proceed further to process the job offer letter. To use to of for depends on the situation – if you are physically moving to process it , you would say #2. If it was not a physical movement, I would use #1.
Thanks for sharing.
“Looks good to me” is correct but how to explain not to use “Looks good for me” based on the explanation?
Looks good to me is your opinion of something.
thank you, its now more clear for me about the diff. of to and for,,it really gave me headache in my school) so thanks
Hi,Ronnie!My name is Dima.I’m from coooold Russia.Do you like a vodka?=))Ahahah=))So,I have a question.Why did you write “I take my paycheck to the bank.”? Why not “I take my paycheck in the bank.”???I’m so sorry for my poor English

Hello!
I had this grammer problem, but I never thought I would find a page that deals directly with this to & for problem. How cool! good job!
Anyway, I’m still confused with my problem, and I see that you still answer people here, so I figured, why not try?
What do I need to say, basis to or basis for? My context is science (I’m doing a project presentation at my university), but it can be anything.
A simple example: “Math is the basis for physics” or “Math is the basis to physics”? my heart goes with to, it sounds more correct, but I’m not a native english speaker, so I wouldn’t know (I’m from Israel). Thank you so much!
Basis for.
OMG!!!! it was great!!! It will really help me with my class. Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What about when you compare…”we are leaving for Berlin” vs. “We are leaving to Berlin” How do you explain to vs. for in that regard. The rule doesn’t seem to apply.
“We say we are leaving for Berlin” or “We are leaving to go to Berlin”. You are correct, the rule does not work for everything in English!
very nice
Thank’s Ronnie.
Now I understand the usage of To and For.
Great !!! Cheers :)
I can say I sing for you or I sing to you . and both of these have different meaning. Is it make sense ?
Yes! I sing to you is directly to one person like Romeo and Juilet…for you is for your enjoyment
I had spent a long time trying to understand the differences between “to and for” and you in no time I clear all my doubts. Thank you very much.
Is it… new “to” me or new “for” me?
You don’t need to say “to me” or “for me” if you are the speaker.
Ex. This is new. It is hot. It is difficult. All of these phrases DO NOT need “to/for me” at the end.
You can say “Thats NEWS to me”, when someone tells you something that you didn’t know!
Thanks so much for this lesson
thank you so much
first time I see your lesson, it’s great
hhiii…actually i have confusion between in these sencentes…..i call to him and i call him …which sentence is correct and whats the difference in these sentences…….
I call him
is correct.We never say
I call to him
… it is wrong.Maam ronnie, the video couldn’t play. i think there is something wrong with your video :(( i cant watch :(
Awesome Lesson, Ronnie. Good to know different between them. we need more preposiotion lesson,
ex, in and into, of and Off, out of and from, etc.
I hope you can make new Preposiotin lesson for us ?? and give them to us please.. Thank you, Masa
English Grammer for spoken english
It is important to point our that “to” or “for” will depend on the verb attached to it. If the verb is intransitive, then you use “to”. If it is transitive you use “for”. For example, you say “head for” because “head” is a transitive verb. You say “go to”, because “go” is intransitive. If the verb can take an in/transitive form, you can use either one, but the meaning differs. So, “you come to a conclusion” but you can “come for someone”. Sometone mentioned “call to” (which is intransitive), but takes no preposition. The reason is that “call” asks for an object (me, you, him, her, us, etc) and is transitive.
Thank you for your lesson, I learned the difference between to and for.I have a question,when I can to use like or as.could you help me????
We use like + noun. Eg… He sings like a bird. This means he sounds like a bird!
We use as + well + as Eg…He sings as well as a bird. This means equal to.
Very good lesson. Thanks!!
hi rone I benefited from the beautiful explanation and I want to explain the rules of speach Report

Hi, teacher now I can say… I know the difference between for and to.
Thank you so much.
Hi Ronnie,
I didn’t read all the comments, so I apologize if I’ll repeat the same question. I go straight to the point: when can I use “to” and “for” with a verb? For example, can I indifferently use the prepositions “to” and “for” in this sentence: “I go to school TO learn (or FOR learning (?)) english. That’s it. My real problem is to understand (or “understanding”?) the function of prepositions (besides “to” and “for”) with the verbs. Thanks. Bye. Vincenzo
To help you with more prepositions, search the site for “prepositions”. There are many lessons to help you!
Great job
hello very interesting the lesson.I can say that I know the difference between For and To . thank you . From
Panama city :)bless
Hi Ronnie,
Thank you very much for your teaching.Now I know how to use TO, FOR not confuse as i did in the past.
Thanks ronnie
hi ronnie thanks for the lesson. always i like ur aproch and lesson. ur a greate teacher God bluss ronnie!!!
A good lesson, but I think “for” can also be used for unpleasant things also.
Example: – Here is the doctors bill for you. The police are here for you!
Please correct me if I am wrong.
Best wishes, Eric
Thanks Ronnie,
Very good lesson and very useful. I would have a lesson explaining the difference beteween from and of.
Take care
Bye from Portugal
thank u for that lesson. it helps me a lot.
from PH
Hi Teacher Ronnie:
Could you tell me what pattern the following sentences are?
I looked at the woman.
I talked about the woman.
Thank you so much..
They are simple past tense.
i like ronnie’s method of teaching
Ronnie,How I’ve fluency in English ?
Hi Ronnie
Which sentence is ok?
a. I made a cake for you. (This is a benefit to someone)
b. I made a cake to you. (This is a transfer, I am transferring a cake)
wow ……… very helpfull thank u for your time
thanx
it is clear
Hi Ronnie! Why “Bob gave a gift TO Fergus”, and not “FOR Fergus”? It’s not a gift a benefit? Thanks! =)
Hello Ronnie !! Thanks a lot.
You gave he example : I sing for you.
But I found this example in Oxford Dictionary:
He was singing softly to the baby.
Hi Ronnie. Your videos classes are very funny. I love your methodology and i have learned much. Thanks a lot.
This is good demonstration,please tell me more differences
Wow! it’s very useful for me ;). I really like your lesson. Can I ask you a question? I’m confused To and For when they stand at the beginning of a sentence and follow by a pronoun or a noun. With example as shown:
EG. a/ To me,… and For me,…
b/ “To her astonishment, he smiled,”
and “For more information, call this number.”
Sincerely! ;)
Dear Ronnie,
I’ve been searching about ‘ for and to ‘ and your explanation has been the best so far. Do you know if there’s a website which help people to get a Canadian accent ? I know it sounds weird, but i love Canada and i would like to get your accent.
Thanks for the explanation.
I’m your inconditional fan… you are the best…

Thanks, you are nice teacher
Hi Ronnie, tks for the lesson. It was really helpful, although I have a question. Which one is correct?
You should say thank you to her.
you should say thank you for her.
Hi Ronnie,
I have got some new things from this lesson. Great work!.
Cheers,
Rahul.
Hi Ronnie
As you explained in this lesson, when we do some good for someone in such case ‘for’ is used and ‘to ‘is used for transfer.
I bought a bone for my dog is correct but instead of ‘for’, ‘to’ also fits in the sentence ‘to my dog’ . If no can you please explain me.
Thank you
hi Ronnie,
Thank you very very much for this useful lesson.
Ronnie very very very very very very good teacher think you ronnie
HI Ronnie :)..

HI SARIAJAJA I AM MATADOR FROM EGYPT YOUR QUESTION SAME MAINE THANKS
HI RONNIE YOU ARE SO SKILLFUL IWOULD LIKE TO KNOW THE MEANING OF STRESSFUL HOPEFULLY THANK A MILLION
Thanks Ronie.
great teacher!
Thanks a lot, your lesson was useful. And what about the expression: Circle the words that are new to you. In this case why to and not for?
I’M SAD NEVER MORE RONNIE MADE MORE VIDEOS
Thank you mam .This is what i need for.It’s help a lot…
Thanks a lot
Hi Ronnie,
Thanks for the lesson re to/for.In one word: TO=transferring,exchanging,phrasal verbs with TO,when I say my opinion or what I like or dislike.
FOR= benefit,phrasal verbs with FOR. Am I right?
One more thing:you say that it is not necessary to put to/for me when the speaker says whatever,i agree with you .The problem is that there are a lot of exercises in textbooks where you can choose the prepositions to/for in the sentences and some of them start with “It is important…….me”.or things like this :))and students have to do those exercises:)
Thanks a lot.You are really a very attractive teacher and I “click” on your name quite often:)
correction: You have to choose,not you can choose/sorry:)/
Ronnie, Thank very much
Thanks a lot ….
Hi Ronnie! Nice to meet you and congratulations for your great explanation. Well, I’m also a Brazilian guy, but not the one that asked you the To and For. :0) Just a comment, wouldn’t the phrase “I sing ____ you.” fit both? I mean, “for” and “to”, once the sing is the same as talking transferring info but in a singed way? Or in other way I sing to you, but not to your sister. Or another phrase… You don’t sing very well, let me sing for you. Hmmmm doubts… :0)
All the best, cheers from Brazil.
Yes, you can use “to” or “for”. You can sing TO someone (like a serenade)! Also, you can sing FOR someone (you sing for someone’s enjoyment)!
Thx alot Ronnie
teacher, why is ‘sing for’
if we have ‘read to’
isn’t both exchanging info? thanks!
Hi, Ronnie
I heard on the video that you pronunced question like /kwestIən,kwestjən/ or at least it seemed to me (quite clear, though)it was so; my question is basically if I’m right and if so could you please tell me if that pronunciation is from one specific place or is it informal?
Here, in Colombia my teachers pronounce very similar and I’ve always disagreed with that but maybe I’m wrong and they just put into practice what they really heard.
Thank you i like very much how you explain it you’re the best!
I liked this lesson. She was very important for me.
Very helpful. Thanks. One question remains though. I keep hearing on our local transport PA system “this is information to all passengers. …” This always sounds wrong to me (I think it should be “for passengers”). Is there something about whether a noun is followed by a noun (other than a pronoun) or a verb (as well as the benefit issue)? viz “this is information to help passengers” vs “this is information for passengers”? I ask not just because I’m irritated by the PA announcements, but because I spend a lot of informal time with ESOL students trying to help them practise.
You can use both to or for!
Hi teacher ronnie i just want to ask if my grammar is correct. I’m confused with this two:
Happy day for both of us or Happy day to both of us.
It’s like the song…Happy birthday TO you!!! So…Happy birthday to the both of us!
Very good instructor! I am over 50+ years and have raised 4 children, I know Proficiency when I encounter it. Thank you very much.
Which one is correct?
#1 This could be an asset for your organization
#2 This could be an asset to your organization
#1 He is an asset to the organization
#2 He is an asset for the organization
sweeeeeeeeeeeeet ronnie thanks for all ur great lessons that u ve presented them in here. iwould like to ask u about how can i recognize between present perfect and past simple? thnx for ur awesome efforts.
Thank you for your lesson.It’s very good for me.
hi Ronnie
You are a wonderful teacher Thanks
I want to know the difference between
Bob gave a gift for Fergus
Bob gave a gift to Fergus
great teacher!
thank you for your lesson
thank you ronni for all because you are the best of all.
Ohh lord, Ronnie you are amazing.. thanks, thanks
Hi there Ronnie. Thank you so much for the video. it helps me to understand better and gives me an idea on how to teach my students too as this topic can be confusing at times. :)
Zack, an English Teacher from Malaysia.
Thanks Ronnie for the wonderful lesson!
I have a doubt if we cry in front of somebody and telling that to somebody else, should I say I cried to him/her or I cried near him or something else.
Thanks in advance!
Have a nice day ;)
Great lesson! Very clear and easy! Thank you very much, teacher!!!
My sentence is still not clearly explained, I think:
This song had a very strong emotional connection for/to me.
Opinion? Please help
Both for/to me are unnecessary. If you are talking, you don’t need to say either.
But if you want to emphasize, you can say for me.
Golden Ronnie !!!
Hi Ronnie!!! First you are the best!
I would like to know when I can use for + ing or to + infinitive! I really have issues with that! Pleaseee Help me!!
You can say thanks for helping me.
So, FOR +verb+ing.
Or Thanks to help me = NEVER use verb+ing with to! To+base verb is called “infinitive”.
I always had doubts about this two confusing words, but now my doubts are gone!
Thanks Ronnie! I made my life better!!!
=D
Hi Ronnie thanks for your lessons!!! I always learn from you. your online lessons interesting than other online lessons.Good luck !!!
from UZBEKISTAN.
Thanks ronny i benefited form that lesson :)
Dear Teacher,
Can you please tell me how to use or when to use “That are” and “which are” in sentences. I couldn’t figure out the differences between them.
You couldn’t figure out the differences because they are basically the same!
Hi Ronnie!! I’m confused about the difference between DUE TO & BECAUSE OF.
Thanks for your lesson on ‘fo’ and ‘for. I am helping students who donot come with English language exposure. Question: We say “I am going to school” or “going to the shop, to the bank” etc. But we donot say “I am going to home”. Why?
wonderful and charismatic teacher
I hope to return student again.. and be student in your class to see you every day …
Got 5 out of 5 here.. great! thanks Ronnie
lovely teacher!
hi h r u,thank u very much for ur lessons
This was the best teaching lesson regarding this subject. The Instructor used the best examples and method.
It was great!
Thank you.
Thank you Ronnie!

For means I sing a birthday song “for” you to hear.
2.I sing a birthday song__you.
Can I use “to” express some kind of “direction” meaning? Just like: I sing a birthday song “directly to” you. Hope you could understand my question after so many sentences, ha. Thanks a lot.
Hi Ronnie ,
I have question about the sentence: I sing “for” you. Could I use I sing a song to you to express the “direction” of my song(my voice) is to sing
directly to you? Can you explain this to me ?
Thanks a lot.
Thank you a lot :)
Rommie , Do you give class about Job Interview?. Thanks.
thanks for the teaching. may Jehovah keep on blessing you for the time and energy spent in preparing this lesson
Ronnie you are such a good teacher, I wish ( seriously ) you were in my country and in my english class, because I am pretty sure that I will learn A LOOOOT FROM YOU !! .. I wish YOU could help me with this — > I dont understand HOW and WHEN use this ” NEITHER __ NOR ” I wish u could help me.
See my previous comment:
Nice lesson but I have a question.
What’s the difference between the present perfect
simple and present perfect continuous.
thanks Ronnie that was wonderful
Hi Ronnie: I have a question, which one is correct? I look forward to a response or for a response
Hi Ronnie.
I’ve watched most of your English videos. Sometimes I see them again to practice, therefore I must say you make an excellent job. Thank you so much for helping us.
Excellent teacher!!
a nice lesson
Hi Ronnie! first of all I would like to say that your teaching style is awesome, I love it, the way you succeed in capturing the attention of everyone—or at least mine!
now, I need an approval from u. I think in the sentence “I will do that_____you”. we can use both, TO & FOR. The usage depends on situation or context. What do you think?
Hi Ronnie,i just wannna say i like the way you teach us.um,also the lessons that you teached were helpful.
Thank u Mam
Can i say…”I am going to talk/speak for you?” in the contest of supporting the other person.

Thanks a lot.

Dear Teacher,
Is this sentence correct? “I am going TO the party tonight”
Dear Madam !
I often get confused with the use of “of ” and “to”. Could kindly explain. amendment to the constitution or amendment of constitutio which is correct?Thank you
Hi Ronnie. I have tried to donate a little amount of money to you all but I saw that it is impossible do it from my country Brazil. Only Canadian people can do that. It would be a good idea allowing people all over the world do this. Sorry for my mistakes! Hope you understand what I mean.
May I know what slang means??
what about this situation… The phone is ringing, im going to get it. Its my dad’s boss. I should say: “Its to you” or “Its for you”??
thank you very much,i clearly understood the different between to and for.
Finally I now how to use correctly to and for. Thanks Ronnie for your help.
Now
in sing for you
why you wrote “for” and not “To”
and when am singing am transfering my sound to you’re ears so how for? can you help me again sorry
your video is very helpful for me to know the usage of TO and FOR. But still i have a doubt with other sentences. Pls check it out… a) X is leaving to Banglore b) X is leaving for Banglore. Which one is correct among these two and why? Thank you
Thank you so much dear teacher! i love your lessons,but i have one question I’m confused about it.It’s important To/For me,so please can you answer to my question as soon as you can!!! Take care)))
hi,

thank you…
HI RONNIE. I just love your lessons. But I have a doubt. The sentence. I made his lesson for you. It is in SIMPLE PAST. it shouldn´t be I made this lesson for you yesterday or I have this lesson for you? Present perfect instead simple past? Or simple past using a specific time?

Hello Ronnie,
I am Natto from Thailand. I am a real fan of your VDO. You are the best teacher!
I confuse a little about “thank you”. Which one is correct between “thank you for …” or “thank you to …”

Natto

Hello Ronnie, Thank you for your informative lesson. Can please help about this question
“When did you say you were leaving FOR London?”
is correct answer in the book but my student answers “TO” could you explain it. What are the difference between “to and for”. THANK YOU
I consciously enjoyed in ur lesson very much t
I send a gift – can means two things: to transfer and make for someone pleasure (benefit). Please, can you explain what the difference is? Thanks
Dear,
I love your lessons and the way you explain them . I am also a Teacher in Egypt and my students love your lessons.
Thanks a lot for the lesson!
Why you guys don’t make a video talking about “What for?” and “For what?”. Thanx a lot =D
Hi, Ronnie!
If that’s possible, I know this lesson was left a long time ago, but that’s the 1st time that i’m watching it. I’m really doubted about he usage of the usage of the prepositions “on” and “at”, but I’m not talking about their basic meanings. When I read a text published by a E. Native speaker i look at them over many times, before sentences, actions and some expressions. Whatever is the sentence they’re ever there. Why are they exactly used to generally?
Thank u!
thanks you for lesson
hi ronnie.. we are really appreciated ur lessons…. nd i would like to use this opportunity to ask about these 2 sentences because i always getting confuse..”” we are so lucky for gotten u as our partner and we are so lucky for having u as our partner”‘.
and pls my colliques if someone frm u knws the correct sentences pls you can type to me not only our teacher Ronnie, because she may be busy in other parts of life… thnks u all!!
Hi Ronnie you’re a great teacher! Thanks for helping us about English language.
I have two doubts: About quiz sentence 3 ” Bob gave a gift to Fergus” Wouldn’t be for Fergus? It’s a gift right? I’m benefiting someone?
And in your video class the sentence “I sing for you” I’m suppose exchange information as ” I talk to someone” isn’t it? So why I don’t use to?
Thanks a lot :)
Mrs.Ronnie could you tell me which of these sentences is correct?
We are going FOR a holiday next week
(or)
We are going ON a holiday next week

Hi Ronnie I like the way you teach very easy and fun loving.I would like to know is this sentence is correct It’s a news to me.or it’s news for me. Why the writer used TO instead of For.

Hello there Ronnie!
I had a situation in class yesterday around this subject and I’d like to check with you. My student received an e-mail asking if was ok with him to go out for a business dinner in a certain night and the doubt was around how he could answer it, if he should use: “for me is fine” or “to me is fine”. I told him neither options I would use “with me it is fine”, instead. And then I got myself thinking about it and what about if I use: “as for me it is ok” can please help me in these one, please? thanks,
Thanks Ronnie!
Thanks Ronnie! You is the best! :D

Thank you Ronnie.
Ronnie, I got 5 of 5 questions. I love you a lot because I learn so much with you. You are a great teacher, so I would like to talk at least only one time with you at skype. Is that possible??
Hi Ronnie, I have a question about “for” and “to”.
3. Bob gave a gift _____ Fergus.
Why this sentence use “to”? I thought the gift is benefit for Fergus, I am a little confused .
I Check this sentence on website, I think why use “to” because “give”, that means transfer. If use “buy”, it should be use “for”. Am I right, Ronnie?
Hello,
What about the difference between to and with.
Which sentence is correct?
According to the specification. Or according with the specificatio.
Somebody told me the second form doesn’ t sound English.
So, which one is correct?
Thanks a lot for providing the good knowledge

Thank you Ronnie
Thank you teacher Ronnie! Do you have a facebook profile? I need ask to you many things about Canada! I don’t know if I write wrong somethings right now. hahahahaha
hi ronnie
i’d like to know why i have to use “to” with this question at the quiz (Bob gave a gift _____ Fergus) isn’t it something good for anyone to have a gift?
Hi Ronnie, I’m living in the UK, but I still confused in some cases. For example, I often hear “This bus is for Camden Town”. Which is completely against what you described here… I am not a native speaker, obviously, and I can’t decide that the guy who says that is actually using the langue in a bad way. Or in some cases it’s acceptable to use “for” for directions… Or I’m in the woods, and I misinterpreted the situation.
True!!! I have been to UK and on the train they often say: This train leaves for ______. Confusing….
Thanks you so much.
Would like to know when I can use for + ing or to + infinitive! Serious problem!
i got 5 out of 5 it’s owesome lesson

I have doubt’ the school is also a good thing. So here can we use for.?
Heaps of thanks Ronnie your simply amazing!
Hi Ronnie. I’m from Brasil,and your lessons are helping me a lot. You are a very good teacher. I would like to know if there is a space where we can talk. I would like to practice my pronunciation. Thank you a lot.
“I sing for you” has about 389,000 results in the Google search. “I sing to you” has about 430,000 results. So, singing is more ‘transfer’ than ‘benefits” :-)
I guess, in most cases, both ‘for’ and ‘to’ might be correct depends on meaning.
thx for this lesson, Ronnie.
now I can know to use “for’ and ‘to’.
thx for the video now it’s all clear in my mind
Hi Ronnie,
thank you!
I have a quick question. which one is correct?
“He went out to dinner” or “He went out for dinner”
it’s very helpful for me, thank’s a lot.
I don’t know how to thank you Ronnie .
Ronnie!… And what about: “¿Happy Birthday TO you?…” :/ THANXS, LOVE YOU!:)
Thank you Ronnie
Thank you very much Ronnie)
Thanks a lot
thank you so much
Great lesson!
1:04 – the word “benefit” is used. A tip for the viewers — in English, words that start with “ben” or “bon” usually mean something good!
thansk Ronnie, it was very interesting and useful FOR me!
5/5. thank you Ronnie.
Thanks, Ronnie.
it’s great … finelly i found the best teacher
I want “should , could , would” lesson from you ronnie.
Thank you
thanks!
Very helpful. Thanks.
Thanks for lesson
Following To = transfer and for = benefits…
Many people told me this sentence is correct: “We are leaving in January for New York”, but I think that following your explanation should be “to”. We are transfering our bodies to New York. Except if I analyze this sentence as we are LEAVING for New York which give me an idea that it is a benefit?
Love it! Thank you so much!!!
It’s really beneficial to fellow those lessons
Thank you)))
Thanks

I have been studying English at EngVid since March, 2022 and now we are in Jun, 2022. I have planned on watching almost each video here in beginner level at first in order to evolve my listening skills as I focused on just reading and spelling in the past.
I’d start focusing on speaking skills at the end of 2022.
I’m writing this as a way to find a fruitful language partnership to enhance my speaking skills in the future as it’s possible that someone would like to read this in the coming months from now.
My priority is an academic and formal English as I need English to develop myself scientifically and in career aspect at first.
Kindly feel free to talk to me whenever you read this and whatever a reason might be, I’m excitedly interested in exchanging knowledge and experience.
You’ll know how to reach me once you click on my picture here besides this comment.
I have started to number videos I watch here, and this is the fourteenth one. Hopefully I can reach more than 1000 as soon as possible.
Hello teacher
Thanks for the class
I understand you very well
Thank you
Which is correct Reference to the context or Reference for the context and why?
