10 ways to say “I don’t know” in English

Thanks a lot, Rebecca.

Marcelo Machado

thank you very much my lovely teacher Rebeka.I am very impressed with all the lessons that i heard.i promise you that i will say all friends to learn english from engvid. Best wishes from small country ALBANIA,THE SCANDERBEG LAND.

besnik

I’m from Albanian too :P So don’t have to say small country…

Granit

First of all THANKS for Rebecca the great teacher.
I live in Brazil, but I born in Italy in a small country called “Piana degli Albanesi” where Albanian traditions are still worshiped today. I also speak Albanian spoken in that city. It’s great to hear about Albanian people. Nice to hear about you.

Thanks, Rebecca!

I have a question. To Know is a static verb only when it is in the phrase: “I don’t know” or that’s static in any other phrase?

I asked it because the music group Abba has a music called “Knowing Me, Knowing You”? Can’t I say: “I’m still knowing the city” ?

How the best way to express that idea?

thanks a lot!

Can you delete my last message. I just find it:

Thanks engvid!!

claudio77

Done!

Yeah stative verbs are amazing with their exception.

kushu

Thanks!

Good Lesson!

grazisil13

Hello mam!Thank you very much for this lesson. I’m the beginner and it is useful for me.
I don’t know whether i will cook or not. Is this correct mam?

thiruselvi

Yes, that’s fine. All the best to you!

Rebecca

thanks alot

ahmed sameh

It’s correct

barryoury

fine

kushang

Its a sweet ,smalll and awesome lecture. But one thing i didn’t understand in this video is stative verb.Madam could you please tell me that why verb “know” can not be used with continuous form in any situation or in which situation we could use knowing

rajpal90

Many stative verbs cannot be used in the continuous form and “know” is certainly one of them. You cannot use it that way at all! Please look up stative verbs in a good grammar book or online for more explanation or watch Ronnie’s video:
https://www.engvid.com/english-grammar-stative-verbs/

All the best to you!

Rebecca

the lesson was so useful. i am from colombia and i have a doubt. i don’t know how to say these words “comiera, bailara…. etc i dont know how to construct this verbal tense.thanks a lot

edwar914

Thank you

kokoro

muhendese

Thanks for remaining us always

agany

Thanks a lot.
Why can’t I use ‘how’ instead of ‘what’ in the #3?

bonhob

Because it would not make sense and that structure does not exist in English. Hope this helps. My best to you.

Rebecca

Good Morning Rebecca miss. I have a problem with Q.8.It must be ‘from where’ musn’t it? Anyway,Thanks for your lesson.Good luck

oshada

come on my friend don’t address them as MISS like what we do in Sri Lanka. Call them by their name or simply say Teacher. Thank you

roshank

TariyelBadalov

Rebecca miss,What is the meaning of phrase’just like that’ and What are its usages?Please, explane.Good luck with your teaching!

oshada

Why are you doing this?
Just like that..!
Why you asked me about her?
Just like that..!
-If you do an action,without any reason..you don’t know why you are doing or don’t want to tell anybody.
When you are asked why you are…..?
Then you generally reply “Just like that”.

kushu

Hello Kusku.Thanks for your answer.It makes me clear.Good luck!

Aya osman

I would like to ask you, Rebecca!
What do these sentences mean (above you dropped up like examples in your tutorial)?:
I don’t know what to do?
= I don’t know what I should do in this situation? (for example it is because I have not met a problem like this)
or
= I know to do nothing (I don’t know to do anything), I am helpless, powerless or incompetent so I am not able to do it.
And I don’t know what to say: ?
= I don’t know what I should say in this situation (to you, to her/his, to us/them)? (for example it is because I have not met a problem like this or I am afraid of what you will think or you will not understand me)
or
I know to say nothing (I don’t know to say anything), I am helpless, powerless or incompetent so I am not able to do it.
(for example, my teeth have been pulled out by a dentist and I am not able to talk. )
Please, let me know and explain them.
Thank you very much.

Thank you so much teacher. I am doing the quiz what lessons u teach.it is very interesting to do quiz for each lesson.u teach us in a very easy way. But what is the problem for me I can understand English.but when I Was replying to someone I am getting nervous then my words are like shivering,so many mistakes are happened at that time.i don’t know how to get out from this problem.i am feeling very shame.somany times I am blaming my self.In my mind correct sentences are running but when i open up those sentences it goes wrong way.please give some suggestion for me.
