Great lesson. I got 9/10. Thank Alex Sir..

engvivid85

yes, i got 100

Gladis

I haven’t watch everyone yet but I already watch Emma, Rebecca, & Ronnie. I learned a lot from them. My big problem is using prepositions. I’ve watched some of prepositions video but if I could have someone to explain how beneath,beside, besides,toward, towards,off, and more. If that would be posible. Whatever you can teach me, I would really appreciate it. Thanks a lot.

Hi vishnu,

Rebecca has made a video on this topic: https://www.engvid.com/confused-words-effect-affect/

Alex

No way…!

fatiima8

You’ve got a lot of terrific lesson, one of which is this :)

geop147

“You’ve got a lot of terrific lessons,…”

Don’t forget to use a plural if you say “a lot.”

Alex

Hey Alex, I just wanted to clarify if the rule is always same, do you always have to put the plural form after ‘a lot of’? or is there any exception?

reshmi

simply awesome

kalu91

It is not that easy

preemy

No, it isn’t, but with continued practice it becomes easier.

Alex

Thanks!

Alex

sir i am so happy for getting a chance to learn new things by native teacher

rajanghimire

Haha. Good one.

Alex

It’s an advanced grammar point, and you can hear native speakers using this construction in a variety of settings.

Example:
Check out this fact. Tim Burton has made over 20 movies, 8 of which have starred Johnny Depp.

Alex

Hi, sir .. I Have a question.
I am the student . I pass the test.
I am the student who passes the test or who pass the test.
which one is the correct one please????????

Barkat Basham

Hey Alex! When I’m talking about places what I can use?

Roberta

hi sir
thanks for leccons

manardz

Hi Alex
I’ve looked up for lesson “Adjective Clauses”, but I didn’t find it.
Please, could you send me the link, or show me where is it?

Thanks

rilomo

They are also called relative clauses, which is why you may have had a difficult time finding it. Here is the lesson: https://www.engvid.com/writing-relative-clauses-overview/

Alex

I’ve been following many online english websites , only one of which is worth learning from. It’s Engvid.com with no doubt !

bilel

Right on! Thanks!

Alex

Thanks a lot
God bless you all

Very good lesson! Thanks Alex

brala

Dear Alex!!!
WHY some grammar books mention that (that)isn’t correct to be used with non-identifying adjective clauses?
thanks

brala

Because it can’t be. :) Never push a “that” adjective clause after a comma.

Example:
I visited Times Square last year, which was also the year I got married. (OK)

I visited Times Square last year, that was also the year I got married. (NOT OK)

The only way the second sentence can work is if you make them into two separate sentences like this:

I visited Times Square last year. That was also the year I got married.

I visited Times Square last year; that was also the year I got married.

Alex

Thanks Alex
I appreciate you and Ronnie answering our questions.

brala

Thanks Alex.
This lesson is very useful for me.

ea9436

Dear Alex! Why don’t you use “when” in that sentence.
And
I’ve been to two new places this year. One of them was Las Vegas
>> I’ve been to two new places this year, one of which was Las Vegas. (correct) >> so why not “where”. Can you give me the answer to find it out? Thank you very much!

arielk

“WHEN” is not a “QUANTIFIER”. It’s an adverb of
time.
“WHERE” is not a QUANTIFIER,it’s an adverb of place.
“Been to…( is the correct verb) two new places.
We need a quantifier to have these constructions:
“one of whom,” “one of which”
I hope you get my point.
Anyway,only Professor Alex can explain it better.

zigmund

arielk

Hey, Alex thanks for this lesson.
I think there’s a mistake on exercise #4: I think you’ve forgotten to use “were” after the word paitings:
(He’s a famous painter. One of his paintings “were” sold for over $50,000.)
Could you check this out for me?
Thanks

henry19

Hmm, I think you may be right, although you would use “was” instead of “were.” However, native speakers also use the verb “sold” without the verb to be.

Example:

I advertised my phone on eBay. It sold for $300.

Alex

Well,I think it has to be WAS because it’s about
ONE specific painting and the sentence is in the
Passive Voice. I guess that’s it,isn’t it,Alex?
I’d like to know if I am correct.

zigmund

Good class! I got aq 80%, I have a cold, I am tired, but the class was so entertainin! Thanks Alex

I’ve got juice,
Jug,jug,jug

“””””” She’s got my sum “”””””
Sum sum sum.

Up Me!

THANKS ALEX.
it’s a really helpful lesson

zhgeorgieva

I like this lesson so much
You are so funny
aren’t you?
thanks

mohibms

Hello Alex, I have two questions:

One concerns “whom” because Americans use “who” as a subject and object, and if we want to speak American English, in this example you gave “both of whom”, can we use “both of who”, or in this specific case should we use “whom”?

The second question is: if we want to combine the two sentences using a comma, is this wrong when we say: “Cris has two sisters, both of them smoke”, or if we want to say it in that way, do we have to separate the sentences using a period? What about “and” — “Cris has two sisters and both of them smoke”, is this correct?

morfik

Native English speakers definitely use “who” in place of “whom” because most don’t know or care about the difference between the two words. However, in the case of adjective clauses with quantifiers, you are more likely to hear “whom.” It just rolls off your tongue better.

You need to separate the two sentences you wrote. You can either use a period of a semi-colon.

Example:

Chris has two sisters. Both of them smoke.
Chris has two sisters; both of them smoke.

With and, you used two independent clauses, so you should technically place a comma before “and.”

Chris has two sisters, and both of them smoke.

You’ll see native speakers who omit the comma, though.

Alex

Thanks.

morfik

Thanks for continuing to come back!

Alex

Thank you, sir! Got 10/10.

raoufdz

Hi teacher! I want to ask about the grammar of the following sentence:”The last thing I do is feed the chikens”

thoa56

Dear Thoa56,
In stead of our teacher I would like to tell you what I know. The sentence “The last thing I do is feed the chickens” is the same to “The last thing I do is to feed the chickens”.
Sometimes an infinitive is used in the emphasized verb phrase after to do in the what-clause. Like this: What I want to do is (to) study English.

dolaypapa22

thank you Alex! Got perfect score.. :)

apoako

Thanks, Alex! That was new although I’m majoring in English! Question, would you use that construction in everyday conversation? Is it kind of “too formal” to use? I just don’t wanna sound like a smart ass, if you know what I mean…One more thing, can you make a lesson on “predominant” vs “dominant”? I googled the whole thing, they’re supposed to be different and used in different contexts, but I just can’t find why, nor can I find the different connotations of either one of them. Thanks a million, Alex! Osama form Jordan

osama91

It’s definitely a formal structure, but it’s possible to use it in regular conversation without sounding like a smart ass. Just depends how natural you sound when you say it.

Example:
He’s made tons of movies, only one of which was decent.

She’s written 3 books, all of which deal with the exact same questions and themes.

Unfortunately, I can’t help you with the “dominant”/”predominant” question. It’s not something I’ve ever really done any in-depth research on. After a quick google search, I couldn’t find much either.

Alex

Thanks, Alex!

osama91

That’s still good!

Alex

Wow! . I can’t believe myself! I got 10 correct out of 10 when I tested my understanding of this English lesson after I watched that video while I’m afraid to speak English with native speakers. I think there must be any wrong with my strategy to learn English. I also have problems to write. Plus, I have problems in listening. But that site and IELTS tapes help me get my listening better.
Sir Alex, can you suggest how to improve my English as I am in the place not used English speaking?

dolaypapa22

i made 100 exersices two of which are false

Hi Mr. Alex…
I downloaded your video teaching. It is very interesting.

I get a lot of things from you.
Can I ask . what does this sentence mean?
“Male and female loons tend to act cooperatively.”

what does the word “loon” mean?
can you put in the similar word.

Thank you a lot.

A loon is a kind of water bird that’s very similar to a duck! (They are on the one-dollar coin in Canada.)

Hi Alex! Many thanks for this great lesson this topic has always been confusing to me but I still have a little question…what if the possession is expressed by an object like for instance “American theaters have just released the comedy … (whose?) success was predicted long before its shooting” ? Sorry for such a stupid and maybe grammatically incorrect example but I just need to know what noun should be used in this case. Thank you!

Hey Alex, is it correct to say “I have two sisters, one of whom is 13 and the other one 9”? Because I wrote that in an exam and my English teacher said it was wrong but I think that’s not true.

Hi, Alex.
I really like your teaching.
You make get more ideas of teaching English grammar to Cambodia students. I am a student of English Literature and also teach English in primary level.

If you don`t mind me, Can you give me more lessons on Adjective clauses with prepositions, and nouns. One more thing, about Adjective Phrases.
I am going to present about these points next week at my Uni. I really need help from you.

Thanks you in advanced!

Somuni

Thank you Alex, you are so understandable

Hi Alex,
Please help me explain more clearly this point:
Mark has got a lot of problems. Two of them are depression and alcoholism.

Rajab1234

HI ALEX.
your first sentence in this lesson a little confuses me because you are talking about both sisters from two.
I think if you would write down: Chris has three ( or more) sisters, both of them smoke”, then it is logically.
maybe am I not correct?

gena35

Hi gena35,
his sentence is correct. You are wrong.
Both refer to two people or things.
Sentence “Chris has three(or more)sisters, both of them smoke” doesn’t has sence.
You should do some research of meaning of word “both”
I wish you all the best ;)
