Haha! Why not! :D Have a great Sunday!

dorycam

Lololol. Let me fix that statement, Dory. “I’d love TO get…not get…” I don’t want you to get a bad impression of my English, lolol. Take care, dear, and good studies for you!

Marcelo Machado

Don’t you worry! It’s all ok :) Happy new week!

dorycam

I got only 9 correct out of 10. This wasn’t enough, maybe the next time I´ll do too much better.

Thank you teacher, It was too helpful.

Alex

Alex. Please, could you show a lesson about future perfect and future perfect continous?

jccorisoncco

Thankyou very much my Teacher.

oliverdaka11

Hey teacher Alex :)
“She’s too young to drink” is correct
But why not: “She’s young enough to drink”

Lucho Molina

I got 9 correct out of 10.Maybe I don’t pay TOO MUCH attention.

grazisil13

“I don’t pay enough attention” is probably the sentence you were looking for.

Alex

Hey Alex, Could you show a lesson about “noun clauses”? Clauses as direct object, object of a preposition, subject complement, etc Pleaseee!!!!

jccorisoncco

Because, she is too drowsy as you can see from her profile photo! lol :D
Can we say, “I don’t pay attention enough.” ?
Thanks

hrv84

He’s too strong to lift the car. why this sentence is’nt correct???

abhiram963

I believe that is for the context of the sentence :s
I had chosen the same option like you.

Lucho Molina

Hi grazisil13, Would u like to practice your english via skype??? Greetings!!!

robinrosec

Thank Alex, very useful lesson.

adalberto75

ゞ(≧▽≦*)o

great lesson sir

no words are enough to praise you and are
rule of the roost and i always buzz with your lesson.
sir i want you to explain difference between do and make…….

sonykhan

I’m pretty sure one of the other teachers has already done a lesson on this. Check out the “Search” function and look for “make and do.” :)

Alex

this the best thing having see it :)

alooly

I got 9 out of 10. Thank you Alex! This lesson is good enough to improve my English level.

sivanarendrareddy

would you please tell me what the phrase ” he stared at Martha” means? i found it on a book and i know star is like begin but since i saw it i am so confused

Geraldine ceron

You’re thinking of “start”. “Stare at” means to look hard at something.

engVid Moderator

thankyou so much

Geraldine ceron

Thanks a lot Alex, you are great teacher.
I Got just 6/10

nasi

Very good, Alex! You’re an amazing teacher and I’ve been learning a lot from you. Keep going on with your good work.

Marcelo Machado

Hi, Binha…I’ve also been learning a lot since I started watching EngVid lessons! I just love this site and there aren’t words enough to say how much I’m grateful…

Janilza

Hi, Janilza! How are you going? I think just like you. I use to say that I learn more studying by own than in a regular school, and this web lessons are certainly a powerful tool when it comes to enhance our knowledge. And about the teachers, I think they’re all awesome, but Alex and Emma are the best ones. Take care yourself, dear.

Marcelo Machado

“…by my own…and…these web lessons…” Just fixing my mistakes.

Marcelo Machado

You can either say “on my own,” or “by myself,” but NOT “by my own” if your meaning is that you did something independently.

Alex

Thanks, Alex!

Marcelo Machado

Thanks! Take care of yourself too…

Janilza

And I got 100% without watching the video, but just like I said before, I’ve been watching and Downloading your stuffs since 2012…and learning a lot.

Marcelo Machado

Thanks!!

mazinho007

this was really nice. enough stuff to learn (if that’s correct)

kesarprachi

Lesson is too good. Thanks
BUT i have another doubt.
Can anybody tell me logic behind this statement:
“If the first tense is past,then would is used instead of will.”
Like..
I knew he would not get that job
friends,please help me if anybody knows.

kushu

You’re talking about the future in the past. If you had the intention of doing something in the past, use “would.”

“She always knew she would have a lot of kids.”
“I was afraid I would fail!”
“He thought he wouldn’t be late.”

Alex

Thank You…!

kushu

Thank you for lessons

David Nguyen

thanks alex

toffee5

Good job

Harem1984s

I’v seen several videos on this site and I’v learnt too much from every video. Thank you to all Teachers are there .

jojo111

You probably meant to type “so much,” which just means “a lot.” :) “Too much” means that it’s excessive, like “I ate too much, so I have a stomachache.”

Alex

Thank you…

helym33

my result is 9 out of 10 , i think it is good

enuogh to know my level of understanding.

AMA

thank you Alex and keep going .

AMA

I got 9 from 10. To me this is very useful
every teacher here bring us enough topics
to exhibit.
Is good enough to us!

edgarrm02

Teacher alex your class is good enough to me, I could get the whole words that you to me.

I liked the what, 7 eat 9.

edgarrm02

I made them all correct thanks for Alex’s great work.

eric0405

wowow… challenging enough but i got 10/10 :D
thanks Alex….it’s just because of your great teaching.

Dado

It’s your hard work too.

Alex

Thank you. I have a question about past tense. Did you go to the park? yes I did go. Is it correct grammatically, I haven`t met it in any english grammar book, but People use it in Canada.

mehmet1

Hello friend,
From what i gather,you can answer “yes i did*” or “yes i went”.
*to avoid repetition of previous ordinary verb(go is in your question),we use helping verb “do”.
As far as i’m concerned,your answer is not grammatically correct.

kushu

We use the auxiliary “did” and “do” for emphasis.

“Do you like pizza?”
“Yeah, I do!” or “Yeah, I do like it!”

“I DIDN’T like the plot of the film, but I DID like the music.”

Alex

Hi~ Alex I have some question about Vague pronoun
why the following isn’t correct?

1.Although the motorcycle hit the tree, it was not damaged.

2.Jerry found a gun in the trousers(褲子) which he wore.

3.John put a bullet in his gun and shot it.
I don’t think they should show violence on TV.

4.Vacation is coming soon, which is nice.
If I told you had a beautiful body, would you hold it against me?

5.When it is my birthday, I hope to receive a rhinoceros, and I will walk it often.

6.The candy dish was empty, but we were tired of eating it anyway.

7.Mark called Mary’s house all day, but she never answered the phone.

wanpupu

1. What was not damaged? The motorcycle or the tree?

2. Was he wearing the trousers or the gun?

3. I’m not sure how these two sentences relate.

4. Not sure what’s wrong here.

5. Just a weird sentence.

6. Were you tired of eating the bowl or the candy?

7. Who didn’t answer? Mary or Mary’s house?

Alex

Hi Alex,

Could you please leave the correct sentences for the above, if you don’t mind.

Thanks in anticipation

Divya

Bella

1. The car was not damaged although it hit the tree.

2. Jerry wore the trousers in which he found a gun.

3. Agree with Alex.

7. Mary never answered the phone when Mark called her

kushu

7. Mary never answered the phone when Mark
called her house
6. We were tired of eating the candy dish
but anyway it was empty.
4. Agree with Alex.
5. Agree with Alex.

kushu

I have too much difficult about the use of “it” in the auxiliary sentences. As this:
Although the motorcycle hit the tree, it was not damaged.

How the correct way to write this idea using that same words? Or the most words that phrase was using?

claudio77

“The car was not damaged although it hit the tree”

kushu

In the forth sentence what is connection of “which”.
I think it’s better “that”, isn’t it?

GeorgeDad

I still confuse about these sentence..

wanpupu

Your first mistakes, I think is: “some questions” and “aren’t correct”, because they are plural. ;-)

Hello Alex,

Could I ask you a question?
“too” is only adverb and “enough” is both adverb and adjective, I think right or not.
Thanks a lot for video.

pakpao

Correct!

“I’ve eaten enough.”
“That’s enough!”

Alex

Thanks for your response. You are my good teacher indeed.

Here are few sentences, I tried making using the concept explained by Alex
It helps me learn the concept better.

Hi! Many of my students confuse ‘too’+ ‘much’ and ‘very’. E.g. she’s is too much beautiful or I love traveling too much. Can you suggest an easy way to remember the difference? Thanks!

tinasony

Simple rule or real life? “too” before, and “enough” after! English grammar is too much! Thanks.
