Useful tips on how to use “listeN to” and “hear”. . .
. . . spelling also counts, doesn’t it? . . .
I want to improve my Listening and speaking in English so I think that we can make group and speak with us in English so how with me ?
iam gonna listen to this lesson
I don´t think you always need “to”+listen. Not if you are using listen as a call or request
Like in beynce´s song listen. It starts with “Listen, I am alone at a crossroads
Hi, I´m from México, and I just want to say thank you so much for all the clases, all of you are great!!!!!
You make me feel very happy cause I can understand everything.
Hello, thank you very much ….your lessons are cool
How we use “listen” and “hear” in past and future ?
take care
In the future tense, you can say “I will listen/hear” or “I am going to listen/hear”. In the simple past: “I listened”, or “I heard”. (pronounced like “herd” – the “a” is silent).
Hı Ronnie,
I would like to speak very vell,I hope you will help me,I love you

I have a question. When we talk on the phone, the other person can ask like this: ” Can you hear me (what I am saying)?” I think we concentrate on talking on the phone. Then why do we say like that?

Thank you ………
dear Ronnie
you are writting on the black board concretrating do you mean concetrating ?
thank you
Yes! Thank you! I made a mistake!
She means “concentrating” That means “focus”.
Thank you a lot for you lessons. I’m very happy with this site. I’ll watch all the videos…
Hello, dear teacher. I like to your teaching methods. I’m going to watch your all videos. Goodluck
mam u were saying pronounciation but it is pronunciation kindly clarify
tnx for the lesson..it is very helpful..
thanks
great, i like it, thanks for your lesson
hi you are great,and im of brazil.thank you for this lesson,and now,i know the difference,have a nice day.
Hi Ronnie.i’m from pakistan.you are doing great job keep it up thnx.plz can u explain me.hw to use words keep & put.plz i will wait
Keep means to remain. Eg.. I will keep this apple for 3 days. (The apple will remain for 3 days).
Put means to place or position something somewhere. Eg.. I put the apple on the table. (I placed/positioned the apple on the table).
Put or keep … whats major difference??
What if I write ” We should keep a complain box in all police station”
Or should I write ” We should put a complain box in all police station”
Keep means to have something already there and not remove it.
Put means it was not there before and it is a new thing!
thakn you so much i get it,now when ever i get confuse in english,i WIll ask for a help to u,will u help me always na?
thank you so much.
thank you so much.i am not expecting that u will reply me.well thnx

Hi Ronnie,Hope u are Ok.Your lesson is ver interesting and helpful to me.Thanks a lot.
Tks for your help, i enjoyed your class a lot!
It was wanderful lesson. I love EngVid site so much because of two reason: the first one it is free and the second one makes you understand easily… Thanks
thank you Ronnie, I really enjoy your lesson and I understand %100 best teacher your.
Hi Ronnie,thanks 4 the effort u make to teaching us. alway listen to yuor heart babe.
HEY RONNNIE,hye,,need ur some help,which sentence is More preferable,I am hearing to you,Or,I am listening to you
I am listening to you
but whenever,usually we taLK ON PHONE,if we cant hear the other person,they usually ask r u hearing me,even if we r concentrating on what they are saying,then y they prefer to use,r u hearing me?
All the time it happens…
Well,actually when we talk on phone,we’re sending sounds,so the talker says:”are u hearing me??” means are you receiving my sounds? and when the talker says :” are you listening to me?” here the focus is on the inforamtion and the speech he is giving to you.
Bievely,as Ms Ronnie said,listening has to do with concentration,and hearing has to do with sounds regardless its meanings.
i hope that my sharing was clear and helpful!!
Thanks you very much
Hi, I have one question and that is Are you hearing to me ? Is this sentence is Correct?
No, There isn’t the preposition when you use the verb Hear… Only the verb listen to!
This lession, I like it very much
I was just hearing it!
I’m kidding… Thanks for Helping me!
bye!
Good lesson, thank you

Hi Ronnie!
Thank you for the lesson.
I have a one question. What about poetry? Do we listen to the poetry or do we hear the poetry? I remember that once I faced with the phrase “I heard the poetry”. Is it an exception? Or we just don’t pay much attention to the poetry? :)
Is there any other exception?
No we listen to poetry.
Thank you for your response!
Hi Ronnie, your videos are excellent, I have a little trouble with verbs wich need “to” to work, Could you do a video about that? It would be very useful for me. Thank you

Hi Ronnie, I enjoy a lot your lesson and this web site, perhaps, I am studing in a good English college, but is my perfect complement..
sincerely
Juan Garcia de la Hoz
Thank you for your help Ronnie.
You are wonderful !
I’m afraid you spelt the word “concentrating”
wrongly. I’m not a faultfinder and spelling corrector though.
ronnie help me please give an explain can write will not as won’t why not as willn’t explain me
Willn’t is not a word!
I think that he wanted to say: Will not. But will not can be the same as won’t. I don’t know another contraction to will, beyond won’t.
Thank for this lesson.
Your Lessons are so great Ronnie.
Thanks
Thanks Ronnie for your lessons. they are my best helpers. this lessons really attractive with your tech method. take care!!! thanks.
Thank you Ronnie , i was listening to ur lesson
I like ur way of teaching
Hie Ronnie
Hats off to you.
you are unique in pedagogy. teaching methodology as such EXCELLENT.particularly body language and the kind of intermittent sound you produce to suit the situation.It’s a kind of tickling experience to the viewers.I have become your “fan” I kill my leisure hours in gluing to your humorous lessons.so thanks a lot.
I expect grammatical explanation for the linguistic error i.e.” I am hearing the news”. It is said-” I hear the news” is correct.why?
i think that your lesson is so useful.
i want to know it is correct that ” i heard some information from my friend” .if this is correct, could you explain? why doesn’t it use “listen” for that sentence.
Hi, Ronnie! You are very very good teacher! Her explanation are very simple and easy understand.
bye Adriano
very good , thanks so much….
Thank you Ronnie , it was helpful :)
I need somebody to chat with in english , british english please
100
You got 4 correct out of 4.

Thanks for your teaching that about the words of “listen and hear”
well! lesson is useful, I acquiesce to it.
thank you, Ronnie.
would you pleas explain how to use ” then , for then and just then” in a sentence.
Thank Ronnie, I hit every quiz!
thank you very much
Thank you for lesson. I wish learn more from you
Thanks a lot. You are a very important teacher…
Hi Ronnie,
thanks a lot, interesting and helpful lesson
take care
Haaaaaai ronie , I am fresh man here
you catch my attention because your style is wonderful
Go ahead
Best wishes
thank you ..you are great!
Hi, Ronnie! I think that is acceptable to put hear and listen at the third question. But… looking better, we can use ‘I can hear THE background music’… will be right?
Thank you for sharing.
Thank you. you are an inspiring teacher Ronnie
Thank you.
Good job teacher……thanks a lot
I got :D
Ronnie I am from Georgia!!! There many video lessons on network but yours are especcialy useful and fabulous for me! I every day watch them!!! thanks a lot !!!!:))))))
I love this course !
I Ronnie… I have a doubt…
I’ll you give a example…
“He sometimes pretends he can’t ……. a single word you are saying but all the time he’s taking it all in.”…
so… what should I use in this case?… “Hear” because he was pretending or “listen to” because he was paying attention actually?
i’ve got 4 :) love the your video, not boring..thanks a lot.
Thanks ronnie for a good lesson
4/4

Hello Ronnie
why they always say “Court hearing” and not “court listening” although it require attention and concentration.
I love your lessons. “Your lessons add me wings” (this is a polish idioms – means : I’m happy and I can do it). Thank you Ronnie. You’re my Angel, with you I believe that I can more.
I think that the right word is CONCENTRATING
Thanks a lot, I like your lessons so much.
thank you so much!While I was listened to your class I learned to listen and don’t get distracted when I hear the music on my room.
i am listening to you
