ramoncarrasco

i agree with you

aras008

This video awesome, but the quality not very well. So, It looks a little strange.

Juliet Zhang

I thinked that teacher’s subject is also good. If into teacher’s lecture should have one part for definition of the specific words Because it will be clearly.

slee prince

Great lesson!!!
Now, I do not have trouble understanding this subject.
Thank you so much!!!

Gtoni

I understand this lesson without any difficulties.Thank a lot

jeni

very good lesson,very useful also,thanks teacher.

rabbani

in the question number five, you are talking about two groups, group one (you guys will go first) so there it’s only one group left. if we are talking about 2 groups and we already mentioned one group, can we refer like “the other will go in the next round”?

randy85

Hi Randy85,

You make a good point. The difficulty here is that after I split the people into two groups, I talked to the members of each group, “you guys,” so that when I talk to the others (the other members) I can use the plural others.
Is that clear?

Adam

Teacher Adam i really want to support you or this website, but i live as illegal in Saudi Arabia so I have no papers. If there is way to pay by phone let me know . I do appreciate what you are doing to mankind .

becoca

what r u saying are u hammered or what?

Chipo

can explain this comment even more ?
I stil don’t get it ):

ladyarchie

I was going to enquire the same question, but you’ve already delivered the point expressly.

Thanks a lot.

AbraCadabra

Dear Mr. Adam,

Can I have extra explanation when we use the “semicolon”
Thank you so much :)

rituelidaeli

I got it. Thanks Mr. Adam. I got 9 out of 10 because of this number. haha :D

rituelidaeli

Thank you Adam, I had the same problem with the point 5. But you solved me it in your comment.

Herlen Murieles

Hi Adam,

So only “the other” is correct? Could we use interchangeably both phases in that case?

Radek111

I was about to ask the same question, your answer is clear, no more dilemma.

Thanks! :)

LRN-101

I confused on this point too, thanks for asking

mai miu

I have a question: When do I say Other person, other color and not another person, another color?
When do I use “Other” with singular nouns? Thanks :D

Tilo

Well I understood that A-NOTHER (additional), is for general; focus on the way that I wrote it, it’s for singular; for example: i would prefer another color (you have Blue,but you want a color, OTHER (different) doesn’t matter which one).

karem95

Hi Tilo,

When you want to use other with singulars, you can say one other (color), or one other (person). but one other is the same as another. You cannot use ‘other color’ alone. You can say ‘other color choices’ for example.

Ok?

Adam

Oh man! Thank you so much. If I could I’d pay you like 1.000.000 for this!

tilobrs

Me also ?

Matlab

very good lession. It’s made me to be more confident Thank you Mr. Adam.

Adam

absolutely was awesome lesson. keep it up

mwisaumatz87

welcome Adam you’re a best and pro

ahmad reza

It’s really worthy to take up the tests such as these, which help to revive our existing knowledge of grammar.

karthikeyeni

awesome lesson!
thanks

tung

1. Does “other than” mean the same as “but”? For instance:
“They don’t make anything other than cars.”
“They don’t make anything but cars.”
2. The “other than that” expression. Does it mean something like “moreover” or “also”? For example:
“She did this, this, and this. Other than that, she did this.” — “Also, she did this.” or “Moreover, she did this.”

morfik

Hi Morfik,

1. Yes, in this case ‘but’ means the same. Basically but= except for. It is a little more limited than ‘other than.’
2. ‘Moreover” means you’re adding something to what was already mentioned. It’s not exactly the same as ‘other than.’ With ‘other than’ you are separating the ideas as exclusive to each other.

Is this clear?

Adam

I’m still having problems with “other than”. :/

morfik

I like your ideas and the way you explain them thanks adam from saudi.. (^_^)

meshal517

Great work!
I have a couple of questions:
One is that in quiz #5 both ‘the other’ (referring to the second group) and ‘the others’ (referring to the persons) are correct.
Two is that I think it’s better to say (thinking of grammar) they can be used as pronouns instead of just nouns.

Mauro

No, it’s not. Look at this part of the sentence:
“…you guys will go first…” — You refer to the specific people only — “you guys”. So, you have to use “The others” if you refer to the remaining people.

morfik

Given that I’d prefer someone from EngVid to reply to comments, it’s still dubious.
The full phrase is:
“We’ll split the group in two. Group one, you guys will go first. __________ will go in the next round.”
1) “… split the group in two …” Here, clearly, there’s only a reference to ‘something’ (the group) to be divided in two parts. Yes, but group of what?
2) “… Group one, you guys … ” OK, a group of people. But this sentence shows a poor writing practice: one subject composed of a singular noun and a plural noun.
3) The ambiguity can be seen by trying to rewrite the sentence: “Group one will go”, “You guys will go” and “Group one, you guys, will go” are all OK (besides the original “Group one, you guys will go”).
4) When we modify “will go” with “is/are to go” we can see that we have to choose “is” or “are” according to the subject of the sentence.
5) So, what is the subject of “__________ will go in the next round”? “The other is to go” referring to ‘group two’ or “The others are to go” referring to ‘you guys’?
6) Finally, we don’t know anything about the context: the speaker could be handing out different cards for group one and group two, or maybe ‘you guys’ could be accompanied with gestures of hands, or ‘someone’ forgot the comma after ‘you guys’ (^_^), and the choice between ‘the other’ or ‘the others’ could be just a matter of taste.

Mauro

I don’t understand. Is there something like “are to go” or “is to go”? If you are using “are/is” you have to put a verb + -ing ending. But yes “The others are going.”

We know the context. Look once again:
— We’ll split the group in two.
— Group one, — this is for focus the attention of people of the first group.
Next, you address the words to the people of that group:
— you guys will go first.
Now, you want to say something to the others (the other people) — those who left, who aren’t included in the first group.
__________ will go in the next round.” — you have to use “The others” because you need a subject. If you want to use “The other”, you have to refer to the “group” subject. So, “The other group will go…”

morfik

Since I don’t seem to make you understand what my point is, we can relax and hope (as I said) that someone from EngVid would want to answer to this: is quiz #5 really ambiguous as it is stated? Is a comma missing after ‘,you guys’ (then ‘the other’ is correct), or ‘Group one,’ is misleading and should be removed (then ‘the others’ is correct)?
Unfortunately, as for other questions and comments here and in other lessons, getting a reply from EngVid is an extremely rare event!
All in all, you pay nothing, so getting nothing seems fair!
Regards.

Mauro

Morfik, I think that Adam can not say that, because he is so educated and professional, but I am sure he want to say that you are VERY BORING, man! Do not disturb my dear teacher!

Sally S

Yeah, I know I boring and moron. Please do me a favor — don’t read my comments. Unlike you, I want to learn, and this requires to exchange thoughts.

morfik

so boring teacher!

marl

You must main silent, when one more wise spoke.
Are you native?, are you an smart student? If so, then, What are you doing here?. You must are in the classroom with your own fans. Adam is a gentleman and he is a respetable teacher and you are only a beginner face to face. Adam the fellowship are with you.

polo1954

Hi Mauro,

Good points here. You re right about the first point, although as soon as I mentioned ‘you guys,’ I directed the speech to the individuals, that’s why the others works here.

as for calling them pronouns, I didn’t want to confuse the issue at hand ;)

Adam

If I may:
1) what about writing “Group one: you guys will go first”? BUT
2) there’s still a ‘minor’ point about the (not given) context, what if there are only three persons? (See also my point #6 above)
I’d get furious ^_^ if my test exam failed because of ambiguously stated quizzes!

Mauro

Mauro, relax man! I know you prefer someone else from EngVid to reply to your comment, but I needed to tell you this ;)

Marko

You are a great teacher. Clear and useful class

Andrés

the question’s answer is “the others”. why?
“the others people…” İs the others an adjective? or the other is an adjective could you tell me please?

sheyma

Hi Sheyma, i took the Quiz and the right answer was “other people” and not “the other people”!!. Please try again the Quiz.

bilel

Hi Sheyma,

Bilel is right. The correct answer is ‘other people.’ Maybe you misread the answer or the quiz had a glitch. please try it again.

princejani

Hi Adam
in question 2
I think the correct answer is D because the other is from, why could become subject

Phong

Hi Adam
in question 2
I think the correct answer is D because the other is adjectives, why could become subject
Please say to me why, Thank U

Phong

Hi Phong,

In question 2 , ‘the other’ refers to the other reason. There are two reasons. One is mentioned, so that leaves only 1 more, so ‘the other’.

Does that help?

Adam

Thanks alot mr. Adam for your lessons of using these stuff in Ielts writings,this helps alot to get a higher score actually.

Euis Rachwati

I am so happy,I score 7 out of 10.Thank you so much

Annie

Surprisingly, I have a question not relating to the subject. In a question about chickens and their eater the first answer is “Chicken isn’t really meat” But shouldn’t it be “Chicken isn’t really A meat”?

ivan

Hi Ivan,

Although I’ve heard and would accept both, The more correct is the one without the ‘a’ because meat is an uncountable noun. But if you use ‘a’, then I understand that you are referring to a ‘type’.

Does that help?

Adam

Thank you very much for your detailed explanation. Actually I’ve even been thinking it’s only a board of compliments since its bottom is full of “thanks” and doesn’t have any replies :) I’m glad that it’s not. Thank you very much again, and you’re one of the best teachers here ;)

ivan

7 to 10.. I need study more

psydaniels

thank you sir ,your lectures really mean to me .i am glad to have your lecture .

sadaf

Hi, Adam!
You are such a good teacher. I want to ask you something. On the phrase “We’ll split the group in two. Group one, you guys will go first. __________ will go in the next round.” couldn’t the answer be ‘The other’? Like:
“We’ll split the group in two. Group one, you guys will go first. The other(group), will go in the next round.”

Thanks for all!

Matheus

Hi Matheus,

Fair question. But, because the person said ‘you guys’, he personalized it and shouldn’t go back to a general context after that. ‘The others’ means he’s talking to the individuals in the other group as well.

Does that help?

Adam

thx teacher for the lesson i try to understand you in the lesson. because i”m not good in listening and i’m a new studint in the E. greeting to you ^__^ .

joseph

its so shame i do see this licture but i fail in exam and i should do tofel exam so how can i passs >>>can you help me >>>>???

ibrahem

Hi Ibrahem,

Read a lot and start practicing your typing skills. TOEFL is on the computer and you need to type well and fast.

Good luck. :)

Adam

Hi teachers,

Thanks for all your good lessons! I have improved my English much since watching them. they are very concise and useful. I give some recommendations to my friends who want to improve their English. I hope Engvid will continue to support English learners as it helps us so much get better in English. Thanks to all Engvid’s teachers!

pearlngo

I got 70%
is this ok with or not??????

Ashish

That was the most tarrific explanation of this piece of grammar! I’m deeply grateful cause all my 15 years of studying english including school and university(in Russia) We’d been taught in ANOTHER way! Seriously, ‘another’- according to ‘our’ explanation- We always used when there’s a choise between 2 bodies,and the other We put into the sentences with the meaning of ‘other’. Oh God, that was really terrible having been mistaken for fuck…g 15 years!!! (sorry for emotions) But I really want to thank you one more time cause I’m cured now (in that theme so far))) Guys, you’re exciting, fantastic and gorgeous!!! (like Steeve Jobs would undoubtfuly say)))

il'ya

Hi i scored 8 i am not happy because it seems very easy i must do better thank you sir your are a great teacher

tunisian

Thank you so much!! It’s crystal clear. I hope i’ll remember when i’ll have to pass an exam in a few months (either in understanding (reading), or in written, or even when i’ll have to speak.)

kurtleen

Adam, thanks so much you and your guys for the lessons Am learning english like crazy I am traying to improved my english at al aspects, your are doing a gread job. sorry my espeling for now. bye

Jorge

Very useful lesson, thanks! Especially for the Russian-speaking people (like me) who use only one word for each meaning of another/(the) other(s).
But there’s something I haven’t really caught. It’s about the difference between OTHER(S) and THE OTHER(S). For ex., if we talk about you as one of the teachers in your school, then why we use OTHER TEACHERS, not THE OTHER TEACHERS? Or may be, that is because you mean SOME OTHER TEACHERS?
And one more queston, if you please. Do I get it right, that THE OTHER IS BAD and THE OTHER ONE IS BAD are equally used?

shaoshan

Thank you adam for this lesson,I hope a good health for you.

Hello Adam.
Thank you so much. I have a question that “other than” is the same meaning with “except”. Is this right?

quangnhat

Hello Mr,Adam .. you’re videos are so helpfull , I just have one question .. does ‘;’ always come right before ‘otherwise’ any time it comes in the middle of the sentence?

Another thing I was wondering if you could give me some help and guides about how can enrich my english and to prepare for the TOEFL test as well .. because I seek to continue my studies in the US but I need to take the test yet I have no Idea about what should I do or how can I prepare myself !! I’d really appreciate it if you could help me .

Sincerely,
Adnane

adnanepw

Thank you, Adam for a very detailed explanation. I also like the “bonus” part. Do you have a lesson on when or how to use the semi-colon? Why can’t we use a comma on the sentence ‘Practice everyday; otherwise you won’t improve.’?

I-Ning

Generally,’Mother’is a related person, and ‘other’ is an unrelated person.But,my mother and I don’t get along with each other these days…
‘Mother’ may become ‘other’ .

you are amazing teachers. Thanks

amandamendes

Hi Adam.
Do you always use semicolon before “otherwise”
And what are another examples of its usage.
Thanks for lessons . Your explanations are pretty clear

maryred5566

Well done Adam you are a great teacher ….. ^_^

Nina Issa

Hi Adam,
Your lesson is really helpful for me to improve my English. I have a question regarding usage of “otherwise”. As you mention in your video “otherwise” is considered as a ” if not clause” ; but in your self-introduction you are using it differently like this “I have helped many students get their hands on this key and watched them open doors that would have otherwise remained locked”. So do we have another way of using this word? could you please explain it in more detail.

Thank you
Shawn

Hi Adam

Great work! I would be interested in an explanation of using semicolons as well.

blackmind

what a great video!
finally I got it.
but I really confused for number 5 in the questions.
“group” is singular .. so I think ” the other” works !!

Hi Adam
Thanks very much for your lessons. I have a question for you: in fact, it was surprised for me that one of my Australian teachers told me, it is not polite to say ‘ I pig your pardon’
however, what I had understood from my little experience in English language that it is very nice and polite. Kindly help me to clarify this issue.
Cheers,
Aseer

OMG! I got 6 correct out of 10. But I could knew my new vocabulary “otherwise.” And “another” is “any + other” and same meaning with “the other”, isn’t it? And then, “+s” …ex others…change from adj. to noun. Interesting. I didn’t know that. I hope to watch your lesson and try the quiz someday again. Thank you, Adam :D

thank you for your lesson. I have learned the differences. I have a question. I would like to know when can use ‘older’ or ‘old’. I know the rules when they are used for comparison.but, i know the others rules.

rlanguasco

Hi Adam! Although I’ve already known all of this point, it helped me to refresh my memory so thanks for that. I really appreciate all the effort that you guys make to share your knowledge.

I look forward to waching your next lesson.

All the best,
Brian – from Peru.

Note: If someone doesn’t understand this topic well enough,just look it up on a dictionary or on a grammar book, and you’ll find a better explanation of it. Best wishes!…

Thanks, Adam! It’s useful lesson!

Hello Teacher! Congratulations! Good lesson! Please, could you tell me: Is there any skill differences among IELTS and TOEFL? Which one is the most difficult? In my case, I want to go to study abroad and the university is requesting IELTS approved in a range of 5.5 to 6.5 or above. Could you please give me some general advises to be successful in this examination? I am upper intermediate student but I know I need to study more and increase my English skills. Thanks a lot!

Lemuel Jang

Dear Adam
If you play back your video. you’ll understand when you wanted to explain about the deferent between “The other” and “The others”, you missed it. Especially you missed to give an example for each of them.
For this reason, I gave wrong answers to questions which are related to.
I’ll be happy to check it out and give us the complete information about that matter under this comment.

Greetings from Russia! Adam, you are a good teacher. (and a very winsome man). I appreciate your lessons and OTHER students do the same, i think. Some of them are so hotly debating! Have I used the word “other”right?

Olga Filatova

thank you, it’s very good

abstorabi

Good lesson, Does “other than” have the same meaning as besides? and otherwise is like unless?

“Pay your bill on time, otherwise we’ll disconnect the line.”

could the above sentence be written like the following?

“Pay your bill on time, unless we’ll disconnect the line.”

3. Jill stopped smoking for many reasons. Mostly, she wanted to be healthy. __________ reason was that it was too expensive.

I think here Another is not correct. Because as you told in video that after Another one reason must remain.

iamjai7

“We’ll split the group in two. Group one, you guys will go first. __________ will go in the next round.”

Please tell me the difference between Others & The others.
Can I use “Others” here.

Marioo

Dear Adam :

Q1: There are many reasons to visit Canada. One is tourism; _others___ include study, work, and many more.

Q2: Climate differs from one state to _another_ .

Why the answer in Q1 is others not another ??
I thought Q1 and Q2 is the same idea. :(

Fiora

Q1, because “others” is a noun, but “another” is a adj.
Q2, not another because “it ‘s cheap” is the last reason
I think that

Tranduchuy

Adam:( i got 6/10 so bad. I didn’t get it at all.. are we must to use others and the others ONLY in plural? Or we can use it in singular too? If we can.. please tell me when

Nataliy

Thanks for the lesson Adam. It’s very useful. I have question. I have learnt the word OTHERWISE is used between two phrases, but many native speakers use it at the end of the sentence.I don’t understand at all. Can you show me the meaning and how to use OTHERWISE at the end of sentence ? I copied following sentences from article regarding HOMELESS.
“It just doesn’t really make financial sense to spend company resources on getting the stuff donated properly. So it’s just easy to throw things out, and nobody needs to know OTHERWISE.” Thanks in advance.

ootpran

Thank you so much Mr.Adam… I took the exam and got 8… But I am still happy.. because if I took the exam before watching the lesson i would probably get less than that…

rajeshwargoud

gonca gamze

I need a suggestion, İ am writing essays to practice TOEFL but who can check and underline my false? Do you know any websites or programme like this?

gonca gamze

Hi there.

Man, your videos are by far the best ones I’ve ever watched, but I still have some doubts about this subject. Imagine I’m driving a car and one of the tyres explodes or something like that, what had I better say: “I need another tire” or “I neeed other tire”? Second situation, my friend’s gotten fired, he is looking for other or another job?

If you could answer this questions, it’d be great.

zephyrus7

Ziad Salem

Hi Adam, I do not catch the last part when you speak abot ” other than”. Can you explain a little more that.
Thanks

Josser

There are many reasons to visit Canada. One is tourism; _________ include study, work, and many more.

1. There are many reasons to visit Canada. One is tourism; _________ include study, work, and many more.
Why we use ‘other’ instead ‘another’? we have more than two reasons(many). Thank you

Elschen

Teacher. please interpret when we use single and when we add “s” word. please help me

nguyenduc

Hello, Adam!

I have a context question for this sentense:

3. Jill stopped smoking for many reasons. Mostly, she wanted to be healthy. __________ reason was that it was too expensive.

The correct answer is “another” and I understand why. In additional it was too expensive. But is it possible to use “the other”? I mean the cost of cigarettes has nothing to do with health, that’s why I rather use “the other reason”.

Thank you for your time.
