I’ll get on that ;)

Hi Alan,
Thank you very much for your lesson!
In the same way as a cut above, is a cut below used too?
Hi Redos,
Actually, yes, but I don’t hear that expression used often. A more common expression is to say something is below par. Hope this helps.
i got 8 correct question and and 2 mistakes but the result is 7?? hahaha
Must be a technical glitch :)
Thanks a lot. these phrasel verbs are quite difficult to understand.
Thanks

Welcome Arshia :)
A cut above – this one is interesting and got me thinking. In Polish we have sort of similar expression (similar in that it refers to cutting). We say that someone has been cut out of a meter (meter referring to a measure) – meaning that they are just ordinary – wherever you would cut out with scissors, they would be similar to any of the remaining part. You could also put a negation – as in: I like this guy, he’s not cut out of a meter – meaning: he is unusual in some way.
Of this lesson I like the “to be cut out for” expression. Close to have a kick for something, to be predestined. A cool lesson! I hope you make a lesson on speaking about talents, abilities or lack thereof. Thanks Adam!
Interesting note, Nutondev.
I’ll see what I can do about the topics you mention. :)
I got 6 correct out of 10. :(
I watched this video yesterday night but I didn’t concentrate. So I watched this video again while I was washing dishes but again my concentration wasn’t good. I took a quiz and I had to rely on my guess. I think I have to try much more to concentrate when I study English.
Phrasal verbs are difficult, Insoo. Keep practicing. :)
7/10 thank you adam. you’re the best

I study English language at the English department of my college

Hi Hisham,
That’s a course development program. I’m not sure that I would be able to do this for you. Is there anyone at the department who would be able to do this?
I got 4/10, very sad, this is first time i below average, the lesson is very hard, I will see it again and try better next time, thank Adam
It’s not easy Nguyen. Keep trying :)
I got 8/10 !
Short and interesting as always, that’s perfect to learn fastly !
Thanks Adam for this lesson
could you please give me some tips on how to practice my pronunciation?
Hi Effatmobin,
Look for the search box on this site and put in ‘pronunciation’. We have many videos to help you.
Other than that, the best way is to find someone to speak with and practice that way.
Thank you, Adam! Very useful lesson and clear explanation as always, but it’s hard to remember all material at once.
It takes time, Krig. Keep at it :)
Is there any relation between English “phrasal verbs” and German “trennbare verben”. Maybe in the origine of each language were similar or is a simple elucubration. I learn both English and German.
I’m not sure Pedrop. I don’t speak German, so….
Maybe do a search online for this info.
8/10 it is a little bit confusing ,they are very similar to each other
Hello Adam,
Like your classes very much.
In this lesson, I’m a confused the phrase “cut out – (situation caused by itself?)” with “cut off – (eliminated?)”. Which one should be used in the following sentence?
The teacher was angry with the students’ behaviour and finally yelled at them to cut it ________.
Thank you very much!
Actually, I wanted to ask the same question, Adam… and whether actually there is any difference between US and UK English when it comes to their use, especially in this example?
Thanks everyone :)
Hello Adam,
Could you please explain the following sentences :
He tried moving a heavy sofa. / He tried to move a heavy sofa.
I saw him come running. / I saw him running.
Thank you very much and Happy New Year!
Hi LizC,
He tried moving a heavy sofa. / He tried to move a heavy sofa.– these could mean the same thing. The one with moving can also mean to a new location, while to move is usually just to push.
come running means here. running could mean anywhere.
Not sure if this helps, though.
following your rules, I easily get 100. thanks Adam. I will see all your vocabulary videos and learn from them, I hope you will not be angry with that
Wow, I’ve really enjoyed this lesson. I love your examples
I got 60 in the quiz, I think I need more practice.

It was not a piece a cake for me, but i got 8 out of 10. Only 2 mistakes. It probably means that we have a good teacher, also his support. We should take notes and try cut down the amount of mistakens. Is this sentence well written? Thanks.
