Dear Mrs.Rebecca,
Thank you very much for all of your video lessons. They are really very useful. Could you, please tell us rules that govern the maintenance of tenses and speeches in academic essay writings. I would be thankful, if you go into depth of the details of essay writing.

Rebecca, I desperately need some help. In about one month I’ll be doing so-called SLEP TEST of englesh language, so could you explain me somehow what can I expect on that test, and if you have any sample of SLEP, could you send me some link? I’m pretty nervous, don’t know what to expect. Please respond as soon as possible. Thank you in advance

I-VV-Y

Hello
When to capitalize names in English. Is that sentence proper? Why did you write ‘to capitalize’ after ‘when’?
Thanks.

I.Gamze

Thanks Madam, Its helps for me.

sarwar511

It’s helpful for me,too.Thanks a lot!

SophiaHsieh

greetings. so we do capitalize the names of mountains, streets, but not the words: streets or mountains themselves, right? and in the Example with ” aunt” . in the first exm. we didn’t capitalize the word- aunt- while we did that with the second second? why?it seems a little tricky, isn’t it? in my opinion, I wouldn’t capitalize it in the first case, neither in the second one, because the main name here is Sally, and aunt already refers to her:))))

Amer_70

Dear Rebecca,
Since last year, I have “capitalised” or accumulated a number of your lessons. I improve myself. Thank you.
Best regards.

Peter

It is confusing for me this of capitalize..
Help me Rebecca….
PLEASE

Anthony

thank you mam

zubairsaib

your speaking is very well I am understanding easily. thank you

zubairsaib

Sorry, but I can’t see the difference between “my aunt Sally’s house” and “tell Aunt Sally that…” For me it’s like I would say “the Atlantic ocean’s waves are very high”.

LiaV

MagicMoon0202

Alhamdulillah. You have taught us more in a simple way. Thank you.

Jahir Asif

I watched the video twice on September 20, 2021, and took the quiz after watching it once. I got six correct out of 7.

ergn

A very necessary lesson to hear and learn I think by learning quite well this lesson and remembering it by heart we will know that if the name is specific writing in Capital the first letter is necessary, but in general name it is not necessary to capitalize the first letter of the names,it doesn’t,t matter to be a person,s name or a street etc…

Mohammad mostaan

I got 7/7.

Thank you!

you are a great teacher ever. I appreciate you.
