Thanks Emma..

REALLY VERY GOOD KNOWLEDGE OF MOSTLY USED ADJ, ADVERB , THANKS FOR TEACHING ……. KEEP IT UP FOR US…
Emma I have a question in your example: ” I am……finished” the answer is almost. but, Why finished instead of finishing. I think that exemple should be in presente progresive. What do you think?
I have to answer on this question.
The sentence “I am almost finishing” makes no sense. Therefore, you have to use Past Tense to say that you have completed 99% of your action (whatever it is). So, not finiched, but almost finished.
Hi angelopolis,
‘Finished’ is an adjective in this sentence, not a verb.
Another example of an adjective that has the same verb form is closed. We can say ‘The store is closed.’ In this case, closed is an adjective, not a verb.
Emma, You are a perfect teacher. I love your teaching style. Really nice. Well Done; Keep it up
Hey There Emma,
I don’t still understand why (finished) is adjective.
which difference between both sentences?
Why not use the suffix ing, but ed.
In the Portuguese (Terminado = finished), something that is over now.
In the Portuguese (Terminando = finishing), something not over yet.
Thanks a lot!
habakkuk,
The phrase “I am almost finishing” needs a complement to make sense.
For example, “I am almost finishing my homework” (finish = verb). In BR-portuguese we say “Estou quase acabando”, but in English you should tell what are being finished.
A good translation into BR-portuguese for “I am almost finished” is “Estou quase pronto” (pronto = adjective)
Do I make myself clear?
I hope so.
Sorry, but my last comment is not corret. Actually, we dont use “finishig” in English.
Many many many many thanks, Emma.
I do understand!!!
Take care
Hi all. As I understood and continue understanding in English everithing is not like in other languages.
So there is no use to say that “ why in some language it is so and in english it isn‘t so?!“ English is dificult!
So, I‘m almost finished. Someone + be+ done. I think, FINISHED IS P.P.(Past Partisipal)!!!
Cutie :)
Thank you Emma for this lessons. I like it.
I understand it . Thanks from VietNam
Many tx,
Profitable it was.
I wanna know d difference between: back n behind plzzzzzzzz!?
Nice job.
thank u Emma for your lesson
Can u help me differentiate 2 words: “Victim” and “Casualty”
In this sentence: “The whole building collapsed, but fortunately, there were no__” I chose “victims” but it’s wrong the answer is casualties. I don’t understand. Can u explain to me
Thanhks
Hi Kyu,
There is a good explanation of the difference at this site:
http://www.usingenglish.com/forum/ask-teacher/134713-casualty-victim.html
The main difference is that “casualty” means that someone has been killed or injured, while “victim” does not necessarily mean injury or death.
In your example, casualty is the better word because they are saying it is a good thing there were no deaths.
hi emma can you please clarify this?1)most of the petroleum jobs are difficult.2)most petroleum jobs are difficult.which is the correct sentence ?
You are perfect Emma, God bless you.
clearly explained!
Thanks Emma
thank you for your lesson!
it is very interesting )
very good lesson…. ı appreaciate you
Thank you so much……you’re Awesome!
Hi Emma,
Could you tell me which one is correct..
Have you finished yet?or
Are you finished yet?
Thanks…
Hi, I now understood very clearly. Thank you, Emma!
nice lesson, good teacher!
Hi , my teacher: Emma, great job
1- most all students in the world watch and love your video and sure you.
2- I’m of them, sure
3- most day i open this website” http://www.engvid.com”
4-I’m almost learn English from awesome teacher and awesome teachers
5- Almost your videos are very very very helpful, I think all your videos
6- All teachers in the http://www.engvid.com are awesome and number one between teachers.
Hi hudhayfah27,
Excellent effort! I like seeing students using the lesson in their writing. To help you improve, I have fixed a couple of mistakes in your example. Here is a corrected version.
1- Almost all students in the world watch and love your videos.
2- I’m one of them, sure
3- Most days, i open this website” https://www.engvid.com”
*4-I’ve almost learned English from awesome teacher and awesome teachers
5- Almost all of your videos are very very very helpful. I think all your videos are.
6- All teachers in the https://www.engvid.com are awesome and number one among teachers.
For number 4, when we put ‘almost learned’ it means we are close to learning, but haven’t learned yet. I think you may have meant something different. Here are two other examples: “I have almost perfected my English” or “I can almost speak English like a native speaker.”
I think in quiz , the question :” i am almost home” should i put “at” before “home”.
Thanks for your sharing.
It’s perfect , never amost perfect , thanks
Hi Tom,
For the word home, ‘at’ is not necessary. We can say ‘I am almost home’.
For other places, ‘at’ is necessary. For example, ‘I am almost at work.’ If I wrote the sentence ‘I am almost work’ this would be incorrect.
Bottom line, for home you don’t need ‘at’, but for other places you do.
Thanks Emma
It’s very helpfull to me.
Thanks.
Best regards
it’s very useful to me very nice
thanks lot
its very nice
Hello Emma,
Excellent leasson,
Thank you very much.you have great skills and i would encourage you do more to help with you excellent skill set.
Thank you very much once again.
Thanks & Regards,
Sunil
thank you may teacher Emma ^^ , the lesson was very useful …. but honestly there is something disturb me p_q , please help me if you don’t mind …okay look at this :
you was saying that:
*Almost all* = 99% however *most*= a large percent= between 80% to 99%
that means *Most* contains two meanings:
1- *Most* itself
2- *Almost all* too ?? in other means *Most* has the ability to take the same meaning of *Almost*??
so ,, my question is if i could use always *Most* rather than *Almost all* ??
Hi Hossin,
‘Most’ is a little less than ‘almost all’. You can imagine ‘most’ as 80%-98% and ‘almost all’ as 99%. Sorry for the confusion.
ooh no teacher Emma thank you so much ^^ , i understood it
small suggestion : ===================
do you mind if you make more lessons about Preposition cause i found it verry difficul ,by the way its just a suggestion okay
===================================again : thank you so much teacher Emma we are waiting for Your creativity ..(:

Hi Emma, it’s really helpful…
one again thank you so much for your lesson
i just have a question:
the last sentence of quiz” my son is 15 years old .he is almost a man .
so “almost” describe for ” a man”?
Hi hoquocdinh,
‘Almost’ is an adverb meaning it can describe verbs, adjectives, adverbs and sometimes special nouns.
When we use ‘almost’ with nouns like man, we are talking about change. If someone is almost a man or a woman, they are not fully a man or woman yet, but are a teenager, close to being a man or woman.
Similarly, we can say ‘someone is almost a teenager.’ This means that they are not yet a teenager, but will be one soon.
thank you so much for your answer ,so clear!
Clearly explained!
Thanks a lot Emma
it was very usefull lesson
tank you so much.

Hi Fatima,
Thank you for your concern. I try to answer as many questions as I can as soon as I can. If a question has an easy, simple answer, I answer it right away. For other questions that require a longer response, I come back to those later when I have time to answer them properly. I answer questions first that have to do with the topic of the video, and then if there is time, I answer questions that are unrelated to the video.
I find students’ questions very helpful in planning my next videos, so please keep asking them. For some questions, I may not answer on the comment board, but will make a video about them, especially if the answer is a very long, complex one.
Thank you all for your support and understanding. I love to see that you are all so motivated to learn English, and I want to help as much as I can on your journey.
Hi there,
How can I thank u 4 ur logical response?!
U know I’ve seen the videos ever n never!!!
Un4tunately,un4tunately,U tube is filtered in the country n this is the big problem of mine.I’ve got just u through the quizzes n comments!In fact I do believe that “Questions make Progress” hence,I wanna find the best n the correct answers as well as I can.
Have a ball!
hi emma its good to hear this from you and i would like to suggest please tell me the difference between i’m talking with you and i’m talking to you ….which is the correct form?
Thanks Emma
It’s strange, I was sure “most” was more then 50%, for example 51%, 60%, 70%, 82%, 90%…
I have seen some grammarians use over 50%, while others have used over 80% for ‘most’. The exact percentages are not so important. Rather, what is important is that you know ‘most’ means a majority.
Native speakers don’t actually learn these words with percentages. We use them when we teach ESL, so students can recognize which is larger between some, most, and almost all. If the percentages are confusing, forget about them. As long as you know there is a difference in value between ‘almost all’, ‘most’ and ‘some’ and the ranking of these words, you will be fine.
Thanks a lot Emma.
I’m almost all days learning English.
hi emma,well i understood lesons show me more grammatical skills of how to speak in english with pronounciation….most i appreciate u gave me methods i didn’t even watch lessons but i scored 8 out of 9 thsnks a lots keep it up…………
the lesson is interesting :)
thanx Emma <3
hi there.
I have a question (maybe it doesn’t have to do with the topic so I apologize)
what ‘s the difference between: “I like the most” and “I like most” and “I like more”.
thanks in advantage
Thank you for the lesson. Your explanation is very clear.
Why the word in first sentence of MOST is ‘most children’ not ‘most childrens’?
Hi Yasmin,
The word children is plural. It means more than one child. Therefore, we never need to add an ‘s’ to children.
Child = 1 child
Children = 2 or more
Thanks Emma,Great lesson.
God blesss you,because you help me a lot.
thx you for all lesson .your explanation is so clear.i like is so much

Thank you teacher.
thanks a lot emma,very helpfull for my english.
thanks mam from Pakistan
the lesson was quiet interesting
Hi Emma! Another great lesson, thx very much!
I have a question for you: why is “I am almost finished” despite of “I am almost finishing.”
ie, why the first sentence is correct and not the second?
thx in advance
In your example ‘I am almost finished’, ‘finished’ is an adjective, not a verb. We are not using the present continuous here.
I am almost finishing sounds strange. It sounds like you are doing something, but not trying hard to finish and not making any progress finishing.
The simple idea is when you use almost, do not use finishing.
Hi Emma!today first time i watched your lesson now i m become your fane i like your teaching mathad it is very very niec i hope u will teach like that in the future. Got bliss you

i am almost reached to the office.2. Jan is almost died in the road accident. 3. Almost all students are emotional and drive fast. Most of our classmates are great officers in the state. Most people in our country are illiterate. Are these examples correct or not. Thanks madam. hope you will reply me as soon as possible. Habib from Pakistan
Hi Habib,
Your use of almost and most was correct. There were some other mistakes though, so here are the corrections.
1) I am almost at the office or I have almost reached the office.
2) Jan almost died in the road accident.
3) Almost all students are emotional and drive fast.
4) Most of our classmates are great officers in the state.
5)Most people in our country are illiterate.
hi my best teacher,
is these sentences true?if not why?
people in our country are most illiteracy.
animals of the zoo are most bird.
thanks teacher
thanks emma to you I can say that I almost learned this language.am I wright correct?
Hi Isabella,
Your sentence is grammatically correct, but the meaning is a little strange. It means you came close to learning English, but you didn’t. A better alternative would be ‘I’m almost fluent in English’.
thanks, your teaching is easy to understand. Keep your style, more describe.
Thanks Emma, i really appreciate.
thanks Emma. It’s very nice lesson.
Thanks Emma, my score was 7 out of 8.
thankyou for lesson
thank you for help me emma
Dear Emma, I got 4 out of 4! Thanks a lot, Emma
Emma, if i put in ‘ almost all’in this question, is ok?
I am ( almost all ) finished.
It is ( almost all ) 3 o’clock.
Thank you teacher.
Your apply is appreciates. ^_^
Hi Fong,
We would use ‘almost’ in both of these cases, not ‘almost all’. We do not use ‘almost all’ with verbs. We use it with nouns with the meaning of close to 100%.
Eg) Almost all of my friends went to the party. (Close to 100% of them).
It was very useful to watch your video , thank you for your efforts for helping learners get better .
I have a question out of subject but I will ask it any way you can answer if you like (I hope you do ) or not.
Have you ever been acted in Hollywood before or there is an actress look like you ?
Greetings,
I would like to ask what is the difference between almost all and almost all of? Thank you in advance.
Irina
Thank a lot i am Fatima from Ecuador , now i can understand how can i use almost ,to learn english is very hard for me,but yours lessons are very clearly
Pelea would you correct me?
thanks a lot. it’s very useful. can i use that “most of people” like to go … is it different from most people? thank you for your answering.
1) Most students like reading.
2) Most of the students like reading.
The two sentences above are very similar. We use ‘most’ when we are talking about things or people in general. We use ‘most of the’ when we are talking about specific things or a particular group of people.
Eg) Most books have an index at the back. (general)
Most of the books in my collection have an index at the back. (specific set of books)
Great anwser emma!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111
Thus the 2nd sentence could be improved as follows:
Most of the students in my college like reading
Please your answer
Thanks in advance
Thank you very much for your lesson,Ms.Emma. You are my best teacher.I’m a new student here.English is difficult language for me.but I interest to try and try study….

hi emma.thanks
Hii,emma.youre lessons are greate.im from montenegro.but,can you makde the lessons aboute did,does and could,can? thank you.
you are perfact teacher.tnx
hey emma
is this sentence correct
“i almost watched tv.”
” i almost finish with my work”
and i want to ask one more thing. sometimes we use r using past sentence but it is of plural sentence..so what we use after it..had or have
Hi Renza,
Sorry for such a late response. In terms of your first example, ‘I almost watched TV’, this sentence is correct. It means you were close to watching TV, but you didn’t for some reason.
In terms of the second sentence, ‘I almost finish with my work’, this sentence is incorrect.
The correct form of this sentence is ‘I almost finished my work.’ This means that you were close to finishing, but you didn’t.
We could also say, ‘I am almost finished my work’. We use this when we are still doing our work, but will finish it soon.
Thank you so much
thaks you
I scored 8 out of 8. Thanks Emma.
THANK YOU ALOT EMMA FOR THIS LESSEN
ITS VERY HELPFUL YOU ARE GOOD TEACHER AND THANK YOU ENGVIE TO BRING US EMMA teacher please emma
stay with us we need you don’t leave us ok
Dear Emma,
Great lesson up to this time i had problem wth all most and Most but now iam able to know the difference between both
It sucks. I need clean simple picture. It is not math.
And I don’t feel sincerity.
dear Emmma
I m brazilian from limeira State of são
paulo and I ve followed your lessons
everyday, but trere is a question about contraction very dificulty for us brazilian , the contraction is ain`t,
could you explain us.
obrigado (thanks in portugueses)
Hi Paulo,
‘Ain’t’ is actually considered incorrect grammatically and isn’t used in standard English. However, some people from certain regions may use it. I wouldn’t suggest using this contraction.
It stands for ‘am not’, ‘are not’, and ‘is not’.
Thank Emma, I’m 8 out of 8.
Thank you
Hey Emma!

Thank you for the great lesson Emma. Just that I got number four answer but you marked me wrong.Its even worse when the answer I didn’t tick is what you showed me I ticked. I ticked Almost but you showed I ticked Almost All. Please, correct this problem cos its not encouraging! Thank you.
Almost (NOT almost all) birds can fly. For example, penguins can’t fly, kiwi can’t fly etc. Isn’t it?

Hi Emma. Thanks for your wondeful teaching. I have one question.
For example, instead of ‘most students’, would it be possible ‘most of stduents’?
I think that ‘most of them’ is more natual than most them. What is the diffence between most and most
the difference between most and most of?
thanks Emma:))

Great lesson. Thanks.
A few questions. Merriam-Webster lists “almost” as adverb AND adjective.
When “almost” describes a noun, isn’t it an adjective? A Wiki.Answers comments it is (http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Almost_and_adverb_or_adjective), and I wonder why not?
Thank you for your lesson ……..
100/100
thank emma very much
my score 100/100. Thank Emma a lot
Hi, Emma. Thanks for your great lesson.
By the way, I have two questions.
You said ‘there’ was a noun.
But I think ‘there’ is an adverb.
Also, Does the word ‘almost’ describe the adjective phrase, ’26 years old’?
What do you think?
hai emma, today i almost learned a new lesson. :-) thank you so much…..

Good lesson!
Emmma, I have got a question) When you told about “almost”, in the end, you concluded that “almost” described verb, nouns and other adverbs, what did you mean about “other adverbs”? I thought that fourth example described circumstances (at the theater).
I’v got 88/100.
Most questions are true.
Thanks
Great lesson and an excellent explanation. Thank you so much
I got 8 correct out of 8.

Hi Emma thanks for this lesson, I have learned many things from you, and I hope you can answer my question:
what is the difference between find and found ?
I always get confused when I want to use one of these two words
Thanks.
To summarize, ‘Most’ and ‘Almost all’ are adj, therefore they support noun.
However ‘Almost’ is adv, therefore it supports exception of noun like adj, another adv, noun, ets.
Is it corrective?
yes.. i’ve 100.. thank Emma for lesson. i’m understand now about most, almost, and almost all
Thank you Emma. You reminded me of stuffs what I learned long time ago. I’ve really enjoyed your lesson.

“I have almost read half of the book.”
Is this sentence incorrect?
Why is it considered incorrect? Is ‘almost’ redundant here?
Could it mean that the person read, say 45% of the book?
Thank you.

Thank you Emma It was all almost beautiful lesson about this subject.
Hellow Emma. Thank you for your nice lesson. I almost understand the lesson.
I have a question.
It is Quize No.3.
Chicken,penguin,ostrich cannot fry, so I think No.3’s answer is ‘most’.
Hello Emma. I have a question about using most. In the video you said it means 80% – 99%, however, if I look at Webster’s dictionary the definition is “the majority”, which would mean 50%+1. So is it not the case then that most is properly used to mean the majority (i.e. 50%+1) and use “almost all” when refererring to a quantity that is closer to 100%.
10/10
thank you
thank you EMMA
thank you Emma
Thanks, Emma. You are the best!
Very good. I understood very well. 8/8
Thank you!
Thank you!!!
