jin@engvid

Thanks, Jin. I wish you all the best.

Rebecca

Thank you, Ma’am.

Gilberto

Thank you ?

BALAMANI

I have a great time ..
I am having a great time.which one is correct..where to use “i have” and ,”i am having”..clarify me

Santhosh85083

I have … is for possession. Sample: “I have a car.” This is my car, my possession.

“I am having” is expressing I don’t know. Emotion? Sample: “I am having a great time.” This does not mean I posses time. I just expresses my feelings.

nice!!!, teacher Rebecca, ;)

Fabio Chaves

90%?????????

Matlab

Got 09 correct out of 10 ☺ . I enjoyed. It was so useful. Thank you millions and trillions Rebecca!

Annie

HI Rebecca.
Thanks for the lesson. Could you please let me know if the folowing sentences are correct?
Your late was predectibale. You’re always late!

europeangel

Second one is correct, but first one isn’t.
Your = adjective (your = it means it belongs to you)
late = adjective (it means being late, not on time)
I checked “predectibale” in dictionary and does not exists. Do you mean “predictable”?

I would say correct is this one:
You being late is predictable.

rokaly

I’ll say “your delay was predictable”. For me the second sentence is correct but I am not Rebecca and may be I am wrong. Let’us wait Rebecca’s comment.

mclaude

Merci Beaucoup Marie Claude.

As a noun late becomes lateness, so we could say.
Your lateness was predictable. You’re always late!

europeangel

Thanks to all of you for helping out a fellow student.There are many ways to convey the same idea.
The easiest way would probably be to say:

Your being late was predictable.
Your / The delay was predictable.
Your lateness was predictable.
Your tardiness was predictable.

To be tardy also means to be late! My best wishes to all of you and thank you for watching, learning, and growing eeach day.

Rebecca

predictable

why you use 2 so …one so is enough

Hi madam, i have been learning english through engvid for last four years. I have asked you a lot of english grammatical doubts before, but you haven’t considered me yet. I hope this time you might consider me.
My doubt is that
HAD BETTER & WOULD RATHER have the same meaning and can we use ” than ” with HAD BETTER?
1. I HAD BETTER go for a job than sit here.
2. I WOULD RATHER go for a job than sit here.
Do both the sentences have the same meaning and are it grammatically correct?
Thanks.

junaidchithari

Thanks so much for watching and learning English with us, junaidchithari.

To answer your question, here are the correct sentences:
1) I had better go to work rather than sit here.
2) I would rather go to work than sit here.

The meaning of the two sentences is close, but different. The first sentence is stronger, more forceful. It means I should really go to work or else the consequences will be bad. It also means I should not just sit here as going to work is more important. The second sentence is softer as it means I prefer to go to work, instead of just sitting here.

Hope this helps! I wish you all the best.

Rebecca

Thank u so much madam.
Madam, could you please explain the differences between TO & IN ORDER TO in your next class?
1.TO get a good grade, you need to hardwork.
IN ORDER TO get good grade, you need to hardwork.
How doiffer these in meaning and usages?

junaidchithari

Tnx… nice job

Hi Teacher,i hope you’re doing great,i have a question about grammar.
1st.example:sentence is”He is so innocent”so can we use an before innocent? are both correct or what?
can you please make a video on it,thanks,love and prayers.

Kashif shahzad

Thank you for a good lesson! Very useful

marygrint

Hi, Madam, thanks for the lesson.
Is it wrong to say: Whose that bag?
and what about the expression ” who is that?” it sounds like we are asking about a human but we use “that” normally for non human. can you please correct me. thanks again :)

batman

Yes, it is wrong to say “Whose that bag?”. You should say: “Whose bag is that?”

Regarding the second point, imagine if someone knocks on the door, and we don’t know if it is a man or a woman. In such a situation, we would say, “Who is that?” instead of “Who is he/ she?”. We could also use the same question if we can see the person, but it is kind of a short way of saying” Who is that person?”. All the best, Batman.

Rebecca

Thank you very much Madam.
Best regards

batman

what is stative?

Astri

There are only three ways to improve your english.
One is to learn what’s right.
The second way is to correct what’s wrong.
And the third way is keep moving forward step-by-step.
Thanks you ms. Rebecca for your advice. By the way, did I wrong something in my sentences?

Hi Madam
I answered quiz without watching and got 90%. In most of lessons delivered by you I got maximum numbers that is why I like you my best teacher. I attend your lesson after three years.

Md. Imran Khan

Most students make mistakes not just because they are kind of unable to make it. It’s just because they are not considering grammatical rules into successful account and communicate formally. They just stick to the message delivery than message accuracy. Thank you very much beautiful teachers, you are really helpful as parents to children. I wish you created a website or social media for speaking partners. It may sound crazy but I know it can help to improve our speaking ability.

Good morning Rebecca, thanks for your video. I have a doubt about the 10th mistake. In the example I undestand we must say “has” but according to others examples why can we say “having “? e.g. having fun – having shower

Engvid changed my life. Back in 2014 I decided to work in a cruise ship in order to practice my english and get a new career. I used engvid with an idependent english lessons guide and now I am fluent, got a good job in the United States and live here permanently after finding my spouse. You guys have a very important project here and you are improving other’s lives. Thank You and I hope I could give you more financially support. So everyone whom are able to support with funds, please do. Love all the teachers in here, you guys are changing the world.

Number 9 is very debatable, I’m having a really bad cold can be said also. In the case of a cold maybe using ”have” is slightly better but if you replace ”cold” for ”day”, using have would not be proper english at all. Just compare ”I’m having a bad day” vs ”I have a bad day”.
