great lesson bro
Cool..Thanks for your lesson!
You make my day by making your lesson so funny! I would make you out, but I can’t make it right now, sorry :).
Thank you James for the lesson, you are great!
I’d like to know if there’s a mistake in the first question, “it’s make out his house or make out to his house”?
Respectfully
it is an excellent exercise.
it’s cool, congatulations for the class.
ola, estou iniciando e estou com dificuldades, voce pode ajudar-me, obrigado
Mr. E could barely make out his house because of the heavy rain. Which meaning of make is this?
A. to be a major reason for someone’s success
b. to bring happiness or pain
C. to be able to come to an event or appointment
D. to arrive at a certain time
E. to be looking for something / looking for sex
F to kiss for a long time
G. to see or hear with great difficulty
K. to ask or talk about how well you performed at some activity.
Hello james, I think the answer should be: “D. to arrive at a certain time”
“G. to see or hear with great difficulty ” is not appropriate.
Can you gimme more explainations ?. thanks james. I love the way you teach, very awesome :D.
“Mr. E could barely make out his house because of the heavy rain.” is ‘G’.
“Mr. E could barely make it to his house because of the heavy rain.” is ‘D’.
The rain, I think, was so heavy – downpour, shower – that Mr. E could hardly see his house, – could barely make out his house.
Tom Turtle is always on the make for tips on English grammar. Which meaning of make is this? why is it not A?
I chose A, too. I don’t understand the answer.
“I would love to make out with Jon”, said Mr. E. Which meaning of make is this?
The first answer (A) is incorrect. But so is the answer given as correct.
In this context, Mr E is not looking for something (on the make) but wanting to kiss ‘make out with’ (to kiss for a long time).
So I disagree with the result on this question. But the first answer is not the right one.
you make my day with those expression
the correct answer for the question number 2 is “to kiss for a long time”
I think so too.
I’m hang over, that’s the reason I failed the quiz. thanks anyway James. that makes me so sad.
This is a lesson not important and confuse
very good
you make my world rock
great lesson thanks
Fantastic teacher!!! I thought Video lessons are boring and useless, but James you make the Diffetence.
Hi, thank you for wonderful lession, but i have a doubt, for the second question. In this question, “make out” is a phrasal verb and Mr. E would love to kiss Jon long time, but you gave the answer as “looking for somehting/looking for sex,” but actually you said this is the meaning of noun “make.” Sorry for the mistakes in my sentence construction. Please explain me.
Interesting:
‘make’ means ‘make to exist’, so
‘make to exist to exist’, so
‘make to exist to exist to exist’ … :-)
i really love you James !! an of cours your way of teaching !! :)
Great!! what a handsome teacher we have :-) you really makes my English.
sorry!! make
The audio doesn’t work very well in this lesson!
thank u very much for lesson
Great!!! Thank Engvid so much ^^
James great….really makes my day :)
Great James….You really make my day :)
Mr.E could barely make out his house bacause of the heavy rain.
Because of the heavy rain he can see his house with great diffuculty.
he would love to make out with Jane, it means that he is looking forward for sex,he wants to make sex with Jane.
But at what situation it is using for kissing for a long time ???it is smilar((
he is not looking for sex he is looking for something!
for something different!
how did u make out at the job interview?
it means how well did u perform at the job interiew?it is clear for me,about this no question
YOU MADE MY DAY

from Taiwan
I have been making out many of web sites even joined blogs to find out the usage of make and now u made my days great. thanks for ur guidance
amazing !
ı dont like your lesson. your lesson very freak
great lesson as always,i’ve learned a lot of things here in engvid and it really made my day!
i am so happy because i found this great lesson.
Could you explain how I use (-ness) like: Awareness, likeness,worthiness, etc… what’s the meaning of “-ness)?
When you add
-nessto an adjective, it turns it into a noun that means “the state/quality of being [adjective]“. So, for example,awareness(aware+ness) means “the state of being aware”: “Because I was asleep, I had no awareness of what was going on.”Thank you very much teacher
Taner say right but I thanx to u.
fabulous! you made my day :x
thank u so much
Hi teacher!
In one hall is a group of people and I need to pass between them, how should I proceed? Sorry or excuse me?

great, it’s awesome engvid isn’t only best but it’s the bestest website for learning English language in a very easy way.you all are doin’ very good job.
i think james should had to be a comedian or an actor.
The best explanation I’ve ever had. It’s really hard to get it because in my native language DO and MAKE are the same word.
You’re a such a great teacher.

Thnk you so much
thank
you really made my day :)
handsome teacher!
If a person can understand something it becomes useful for them and they can use it. This is information I got from one of your lessons and is a revelation to me. I am 60 years old and back when I went to school in Arizona the teachers did not take the time to explain things. I have a lot of english grammer “holes” because I did not understand certain things. You have given me hope to fill in some of the holes in my grammer. I will view everyone on your lessons
Thank-you very much for your labor of love. You are a powerful and interesting teacher that anyone can learn from.
Charlene C. Smith

Another informative video. This is a common topic with my ESL students and comes up regularly with new learners.
“I would love to make out with Jon”, said Mr. E.” = to kiss for a long time, is it not? At least that´s the English phrase back home.
Great lesson! Thanks!
Thanks!
amazing lesson! but I just got 1 correct , I have to take more your class.
Thanks
great sense of humor, combined with a great lesson
Great lesson,James.Thank you
This site really makes me out in english :D .. thanks a lot engvid
Hi James, thanks for your work.
Can I suggest a video on the different uses and meanings of the word “quite” ?? I’ve always been confused by the total different meanings it may have.
Hi James. You are a really amazing teacher. I had just watched the 3 video lessons about “The Top 3 English words you need to know”. You made my day!
I get it
sometimes i wonder…. is there someone on the world which is as funny as YOU…btw i got 10/10
which means u teach VERY WELL
The more I study English, the more difficult I find to learn it, strange sentence but certain. I am having an effort but I always have the same problem, I forget whatever I do. It is not good for a student but I will follow studying the language, maybe someday I will success. Thanks a lot, teacher James, I begin to be sure of my level.
I couldn’t make out any good marks
๋Just 40 Per I think I could listen again-.-
I think that the correct answer for question 2 is “To kiss for a long time”. Thanks for the lesson.
Thanks！
You got 4 correct out of 5.
thank you
Excuse me I have a question which I find for It two different answers at two different books and I wanted to know which is correct /chose the correct answer:
Hassan thanks that he did well in The exam. He…. get the best results in the class (must – might – may)
Thank you James! Great lesson!
